Chapter 30: Man-made Disaster
Wolves are around. The crowd was terrified.
At this time, although it was a cloudy day in the summer, everyone was already hungry and thirsty on the rooftop.
Everyone who had water bladders on their bodies gradually emptied, and the rumbling sound of their stomachs came and went.
The water tank is downstairs in the nearby water building, and the food is in the kitchen next to it, but who dares to go down and get it?
People's hearts are impetuous, and under the instinct of survival, the voice of fear is endless.
"They're going to kill us!" "I didn't eat or drink, if I went on like this, I would die!"
Everyone kept looking at A-Yuan: "A-Yuan, only you can save us!" ”
Grandpa stopped stubbornly: "No! How can you bully a child?! ”
Ah Yuan looked at the giant wolves sitting on the ground, it seemed that their anger had not diminished, and the wolf fur was erected. I was also very timid in my heart, when I first ran all the way, because I had just escaped death, I was alone, but now I settled down and thought about it, I was still very afraid. Let her go down now, she will definitely have weak legs and will not be able to walk.
The second uncle actually spoke: "Dad, A-Yuan is your granddaughter, but I, I am your own son!" Doesn't Daddy care about me? ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, yes! The son is the incense! ”
The old man couldn't get up in one breath, and coughed several times before raising his hand and scolding:
"Dick! A-Yuan has had no father and mother since she was a child, but if her father and mother were not here to save you from drowning, how could something happen? Your husband and wife refuse to take care of this child, it is I, the old man, who pulled her and raised her like a flower, and your wife ruthlessly pushed her out to block the wolf, and you want to push her out to find food! You all have a conscience to feed the dogs! ”
He trembled and pointed to the others: "And you! Although we A-Yuan grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and have been taken care of by you since childhood, she can work from her, which kind of farm work do you have without her in the season? Let such a fifteen-year-old doll learn all kinds of chores on her shoulders! Eat 100 meals and do 100 kinds of work, where does A-Yuan owe you? ”
As he spoke, he saw a drooping child next to him, only four or five years old, cowering in his mother's arms and crying, the old man was also deflated, and slowly put his hand down: "Don't make any noise, my old bones are useless, I'll go!" ”
He was on crutches to stand up, but A-Yuan cried bitterly, pulled his grandfather's legs and knelt down: "Grandpa! Ah Yuan goes, Ah Yuan goes! ”
Without waiting for her grandfather to stop her, she said to her second uncle, "You guys stop grandpa!" ”
Everyone rushed up, only to hear the grandfather's struggle and wailing behind him: "My son, my son, don't go!" "It seemed like a hundred hands were holding him down.
Let's say that A-Yuan got out flexibly and jumped to the second floor, only to see the general alone holding a sword and guarding the bamboo door, it seems that he already knows the movement above, turned around to look at her and said coldly: "Female doll, I'll go with you!" ”
Ah Yuan looked at the scar on his chin, she no longer felt terrified, she shook her head:
"It's more useful for adults to stay than A-Yuan, if A-Yuan can't come back, my grandfather, I'll ask you!"
She knelt down and bowed again, pushed open the bamboo door, strode out, and made a desperate bet!
Lu Xiaoqi wailed in his heart: "Child, you are braver than everyone I have ever seen. ”
Ah Yuan walked out of the bamboo building, and heard an order from the general behind him, and the archers prepared. She knew that there were only four or five archers upstairs, and the others were unarmed villagers.
The general also did everything he could to help himself at this time, and the bones of the dead in front of the building made it impossible for her to blame the general.
The bloody breath on her face and the smell of wolves immediately trapped Ah Yuan in her memory not long ago, and she began to tremble involuntarily.
Lu Xiaoqi understands this involuntariness, which is a stress reaction.
Ah Yuan was obviously soft-handed, but she did put life and death aside, she didn't dare to look at the wolves, nor did she dare to stride away, just like that, she deliberately walked by the corpses of all kinds of dead as usual, walked to the water tower and carried a few gourds of water, and then walked to the kitchen, hugging a bag of noodles. A small bag hung around his neck.
This is the limit for her thin body.
Some of the wolves in the pack actually tilted their heads to look at her, and as if they didn't see it, they let her sweat coldly and take things up! But not a single wolf came after him and tore it.
How strange this is.
Ah Yuan didn't know anything in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so he could only take care of the difficulties in front of him.
Silently, walking through the bamboo gate, the general didn't say anything, took the burden on her, took it to the roof, and lifted the powerless A-Yuan to the roof.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the sight of food and water was like a savior. Swallow the water with the raw noodles.
A-Yuan snuggled up to his grandfather and fed him.
The wolves are still the same, and now the two sides are facing each other, and the wolves dare not attack, and people dare not go down.
Now with a transportation function like A-Yuan, eating and drinking are temporarily safe.
So two days later, Ah Yuan went down again and found that the corpse had been dragged away by the wolves, thinking that it had been eaten.
In addition, Ah Yuan also found that there was a room locked with iron chains from the outside, and some noises came from time to time in the house.
There is enough food for humans, but these wolves can't bear it. They started banging on the door of the room.
Ah Yuan went to ask the general, and the general said a little strangely: "They shouldn't die like this!" ”
Ah Yuan finally thought that the locked inside the room were prisoners of war, Turkic people who learned to howl wolves.
Something even more worrying has finally happened.
The wolves found that the bamboo building was shaking, and seemed to find that the foundation of the new bamboo building was unstable, and they began to bite the roots and feet of the bamboo building one after another in the evening, but the bamboo was sharp, and the wolves did not get any benefit, and their faces were torn by the bamboo.
A-Yuan's grandfather saw the problem at a glance and shouted badly: "The pavilion chief didn't listen to my advice, the bamboo building was built too quickly, the mud was not tamped, the foundation was not deep enough, and there were a lot of new bamboos in the bamboo, I couldn't help the wild wolf tossing, it's over!" ”
Ah Yuan then remembered: "Where is the pavilion chief?" She knew she shouldn't ask.
Sure enough, the grandfather's face was sad: "When he ran away, he didn't run upstairs, where is the speed of the wolf...... Those of us who happened to be helping the general escaped the catastrophe. ”
The general here shot a cluster of arrows, but only shot a few dozen, and the wolves did not retreat, but they even threw away the torches, looking around in vain, panicking that there was nothing to use!
The soldiers drew their swords and killed them when the bamboo tower was unstable.
Suddenly, the second uncle knelt down and kowtowed to A-Yuan: "A-Yuan, my good boy, you have pity on your grandfather, save him!" ”
Grandpa knew what he was going to say, and swept him to the ground with a wave of his cane: "You, whoever wants to force my granddaughter again, I will fight with you!" ”
He turned to Ah Yuan with his crutches sideways: "Ah Yuan, while the building hasn't fallen yet, leave us alone, you can run for your life!" ”
At this time, everyone gathered around: "She can't go, if this wolf is afraid of pain and won't bite the bamboo, she is gone, who will bring us food?" ”
"Yes, and even if she wants to go down, she wants to rush ahead to kill the wolf, anyway, if the wolf doesn't bite her, we can still have a chance! Let her go, and we'll have no chance! ”
At the time of life and death, the crowd was excited, and it seemed that thousands of hands were holding their grandfather and grandson, and the general was silent when he saw this.
That night was windy, the bamboo building shook like a drunk, everyone was full of whistling, couldn't tell whether it was the wind or the wolf howl, in an uproar and frightened, clinging to the eaves and not letting go, there was no time to care about Ah Yuan and them.
Ah Yuan bit the rope on his grandfather's hand with his mouth, and his grandfather immediately untied Ah Yuan, trembling in the wind with a cane, and took Ah Yuan to the edge of the roof, the wind blew over, Ah Yuan's feet were numb, and he almost fell, and a strong arm behind him wrapped around her!
Ah Yuan looked back and saw that it was the general, but his bloodshot eyes were very bright at night: "Ah Yuan, that's enough, I'll throw you on the roof of the water building opposite, I heard that you have been vigorous since you were a child, you should be able to catch it!" Leave it all in mind here! ”
Grandpa was happy and cried, and thanked him: "Please forgive ...... general"
The general waved his hand: "It's us who should be sorry!" A-Yuan doesn't owe us! He didn't want to talk much, he was about to hug A-Yuan while talking, but he was stopped by his grandfather, only to see him pick up his crutches, when his chest twitched, he pulled out several pieces, and the crutches became like they were twenty feet long, he stretched out the crutches, and the octopus-like crutches were almost on the edge of the water building!
Seeing that it was almost a little bit, the general took out his sword and handed it to his grandfather: "Guard behind me, my soldiers will not stop, if someone dares to stop it, cut it!" ”
Just this sentence, several soldiers were ordered, and they all stopped behind them, so that the second uncle who groped over and wanted to stop them did not dare to move again. Some people are jealous and some are resentful, gritting their teeth and scolding: "Demon girl! ”
Although the general was a tiger with a bear's waist, but he was quite tall, he grabbed the hand of a soldier, and sent the crutch out with the other hand, and landed firmly on the water tower, shouting: "Ah Yuan! ”
Between the two buildings, the general and the crutches form a single-plank bridge.
Grandpa held his heavy sword and turned his back to them and said, "Ah Yuan, it's like crossing a mountain stream, don't be afraid!" There is a small window on the top of the water building, which leads to the small room left by me when I built the water tower, for me to rest and smoke while repairing, obediently, you are on it, the wolf is not gone, no matter what happens, you don't come down! Listen to grandpa and don't care about anything! ”
Ah Yuan cried and refused to leave, and the general scolded: "Bastard, you may not be able to protect him here, but he has to be distracted to protect you, you are safe, he will leave it to me!" ”
The bamboo building swayed, and the grandfather's hand pushed, pushing A-Yuan onto the general's back, the girl was thin but smart, like a dragonfly dotting water, from this end, less than ten steps to the opposite water building, and got into it from the small window.
The general breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his crutches, and handed them to Grandpa Ayuan.
Raising his sword, the general shouted: "Brothers, this is the last battle in our lives!" Protect your family! Wei! This ambition has not been moved!! To be able to fight with a few of you to the end, in the next, it is enough to comfort your life!! ”
Without thinking, the remaining soldiers immediately shouted, "General! Be brothers again in the next life! ”
A few people are in the boundless dark night, swaying on the bamboo building, and then make an appointment for the next life!
Ah Yuan cried and looked out of the window, those few people, I don't know where the strength came from, at this moment there was a rumbling sound in the sky, like a burst of thunder in the sky, cheering for them!
Seeing the general with a few people, waving the cold light sword and jumping down one after another, her vision was blurred, and there was a vigorous scene between heaven and earth!
The night wind was howling, and the shouting and fighting sound made Lu Xiaoqi can't help but shout in his heart: "Come on!" Let's fight! Heroes have their own heroes' mounds! Future generations don't know, at least they remember you, and I, Lu Xiaoqi, remember you! ”
