Volume 1丨Jiang is the hometown of the Qing Dynasty The second time: the youth is difficult to peace
Knock~~~, a muffled sound came from the young man's chest, and the whole person was knocked to the ground at once, and the other party's cavalry circled around him for half a circle, and continued to fight elsewhere. He turned his head and touched his chest, but he was not injured, this time he was smart, and he did not get up immediately, but honestly lay on the ground, rubbed the sand in his eyes, spit out a few more mouthfuls, and turned his head to observe the surroundings.
On the entire battlefield, there was already a mess, and the shadowy soldiers shouted and slashed at each other, and the swords and fires were intertwined.
Suddenly, he saw a little girl dressed in red, with two buns tied on her head, holding a rattle in her hand, jumping and shuttling on the battlefield, singing happily: "The ridge collapses, the river and the sea dry up, the sun and the moon are declining, and the sky rises and the mountains are ......" The young man rubbed his eyes, making sure that he was not hallucinating, but the soldiers around him turned a blind eye, as if they did not see the existence of the little girl in red.
Just as the little girl was about to disappear into the darkness, she suddenly turned her head, stuck out her tongue at the boy, made a grimace, and then disappeared.
During the day, when he took chestnuts from his father and mother and turned over the corpses on the battlefield, he was not so afraid, but at this time, the young man had goosebumps for some reason. He shook his head, assuming that he was hallucinating. Trying to move his body, he just sat up and rode towards him.
He carefully searched for the team of "his own people", and saw that Wu Chang was not far away, so he quickly got up and ran over. As soon as Wu Chang cut over one, he saw the young man running towards him with a long halberd and a bow and arrows on his back, and immediately pulled out the long knife on the enemy's body, just like the young man threw it over.
With a buzz, the boy's ears felt a shock, and the blade flew behind him with the blade against his cheek, and the neighing of the horses came, and the enemy who was chasing him fell to the ground.
Captain Wu ran over and scolded: "Little cub, you don't want to live, come to make trouble, don't you hurry up and get me back, if you die, don't blame me for being unkind to you." As he spoke, he cut down the planted cavalry to the ground in two or three strokes.
The boy grinned, his white teeth exposed, and said with a smile, "Whoever is afraid is an egg." ”
Wu Chang didn't have time to continue talking nonsense with him, so he let him follow him, don't be scattered by the other party's cavalry, keep his eyes on the point, and pat him on the shoulder whenever someone approaches.
The boy is also a clever learner, and he learns quickly, back-to-back with the captain, leaning cautiously towards the others.
With a whoosh, the young man felt a sudden shock in his back, and when he turned his head, he saw that an arrow had been inserted into Wu Chang's chest, and then he fell to the ground, and blood continued to come out of Wu Chang's mouth, who was having trouble breathing.
Wu Chang grabbed the young man's arm tightly, stared at him with his eyes, and shouted with all his might: "Run!" It didn't take long for him to breathe.
The boy was still holding the handle of the arrow at the wound, and tears flowed out of his eyes, staring around with hatred, looking for the nearest enemy.
Suddenly, I saw an enemy, riding on his own body, and constantly stabbing the man in the chest with a knife, and the other party was only struggling to support it with his hands, and he must not be able to survive for long.
At this time, the boy took out the bow on his back, skillfully loaded the arrow, and with a whoosh, the first shot grazed the top of the enemy's head. Before the enemy could react, he shot a second arrow more quickly, and this time he hit it luckily. Then he continued to look for the next target, and quickly solved two more of them, and just as he was about to shoot the third arrow, he was suddenly thrown to the ground by someone, and a horse just passed by.
"Little brother, thank you for your help just now. You don't want to die, on the battlefield, you can only live by cheering up, don't patronize and kill. ”
The young man's eyes were already red at this time, and he didn't pay attention to the man, just nodded.
"Huh? Why don't you wear leather armor? Ah, I remember, you were a kid who was caught by Captain Hong at night. Okay, you follow me, cheer up, don't relax and slack off, this wave of battles is almost over, insist on it. ”
The enemy's decline can be seen even by teenagers, and our personnel on the battlefield are increasing and regaining the initiative, and it will take about another half an hour before this night attack is really over.
The young man surnamed Liang sat next to the body of Wu Chang, staring blankly at the burning baggage carriage in front of him.
Xianglu Village, located at the foot of Jiangxi Mountain, which stretches for many miles, belongs to Jiang Guo's rule, and the east side of the river is Pingyuan Village of Anguo. In the past, the villagers of the two villages would often row boats to set up a market in the center of the river to exchange some farm specialties or utensils, and there would also be relatives who married on this or that side to visit each other, go to the back mountains of Xianglu Village to hunt, go to Pingyuan Village to help plant rice and exchange some rice during the autumn harvest.
Liang Zongli, the name given to him by his grandfather when he was three years old, was a little older, and the other children in the village also laughed at him for taking the name of a girl, and no one dared to make fun of him anymore, because he beat him all over again, even if the eldest child was two heads taller than him, it was no exception. Fight hard, if you can solve it, he will solve it with all his strength, and if he can't beat it, he will use his brain, anyway, he has a sleeve for hunting in the mountains, and he can make a slingshot, so he hides in the dark, scolding, while cleaning up the big children who can't find him.
As early as a few months ago, he was playing by the river with chestnuts, and he saw a particularly large fish-headed boat and several other smaller boats rowing towards the village.
A few days ago, Ah Yun from the village across the river, especially rowed a boat to find him playing with chestnuts, and said worriedly, listening to his father who was on an errand in the county, Gao Guo and Jiang Guo did not talk about it, the two countries have been peaceful for hundreds of years, and this time the war is going to start again, relative to the mountains and mountains on the other side of Xianglu Village, the land is more vast and flat Pingyuan Village, which will definitely become the main battlefield at that time, she and her mother are trembling every day, several younger brothers and sisters in the family are still young, and the border is guarded by cavalry every day, and there will be no way to get out for a while. I still used a small boat hidden in the reeds to sneak out.
Liang Zongli looked at Ah Yun, who had no master of the six gods, and asked Chestnut to see if there was anyone else around, and then pulled Ah Yun to his side and gave her an idea, if our army is pressing, you and your mother will go upstream first, isn't there a particularly narrow river, you don't need to row a boat, you can walk over, then you and your father, and your younger brothers and sisters, hide in the thatched hut that I and Chestnut repaired, and I will pick you up at that time, don't worry, it will be fine. At that time, I and Chestnut, I will help you get a few more iron swords or something, there are many wild things in the mountains, enough for you to stay for a while, and then talk about it after this gust of limelight.
Ah Yun nodded, "I won't tell you more, mine hurried back to look at my younger brothers and sisters, my mother can't take care of it alone." "Let's go back, let's go back, these days, I'll clean up with chestnuts, and pay attention to safety on the road." If you have something, come to me. ”
"Sister Ayun, I'll tell you, take it home and fry it, hehe." Chestnut took the knowledge in his arms, and all of them fell on the boat, smiling at Ah Yun. Ah Yun touched the chestnut's head, told Liang Zongli to pay attention to safety as well, and then rowed away.
"That little brother, come here, Captain Hong wants to see you." A shout interrupted Liang Zongli's memories.
Walking into the battalion commander, the captain surnamed Hong was also obviously colored, and both arms were bandaged. A few people around him, half-lying and half-sitting on the ground with wooden faces.
"Little brother, don't you have a lot of guts, I heard Zhang Chen say that you still have 2 heads, it seems that I really underestimated you before."
"But Feng Wuchang, in order to protect me, he ......"
"There are no eyes on the battlefield, any accident can happen, and you don't have to worry too much. You all go down, clean up the battlefield, report the number of people, see how the casualties of your brothers are, and summarize them, so that I can report to the prison army. ”
After everyone left, there was a little silence in the tent for a while, only the wind kept blowing the bonfire in the tent, making a few sounds of charcoal.
"Little brother, what's your name?"
"Liang Zongli."
"Oh? Who got you the name? ”
"Grandpa."
"What did your grandfather do?"
"I used to be an errand boy in the county town, but I don't know the specifics, but then I brought my father and mother here."
"Do you want to join the army?"
"I don't know."
"Thinking is thinking, not wanting is not thinking, I don't know what it means?"
"I can't tell you clearly, Ah Yun is from Gao Guo, and I don't want to fight. But when I was a child, it was like joining the army to serve the country, but my grandfather didn't allow it. ”
"Ayun? It's the little girl you said during the day, what's the matter, you have a baby kiss? ”
The young man suddenly blushed, "No, no, don't talk nonsense, it's just that we played together when we were young, and we are more familiar." ”
"Hahaha, look at your boy's decay, like a monkey's ass. You go home first, it is estimated that your grandfather and father are going crazy, we will still be here, stay for a while, if you want to play, you are welcome at any time, just report my name, Jiang Quanliang, you can come and go as you like. ”
"Aren't you surnamed Hong?" As soon as the young man finished speaking, he saw the captain raise his hand with difficulty and shush.
"What about these things?" The boy looked at the halberd in his hand and the bow and arrow on his back.
"You can't take what you have in your hand, the bow and arrow are given to you, and they must be more convenient than those used in your village, so you should be given military merits. Let's go. ”
The boy threw away his halberd, looked at the captain who seemed to have a good temper, and slowly walked out of the camp, not knowing what happened to the chestnut now.
"Brother Liang, Brother Liang." On the boat, Liang Zongli suddenly heard the voice of chestnuts calling him softly.
"Chestnut, where are you, why can't I see you."
"Brother Liang, but I can see you, I can also see that there are many 'water ghosts' hiding in the river around you, all holding short swords and something in their hands."
The boy immediately stopped rowing, and asked in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Chestnut, I speak now, can you hear me?" ”
"Brother Liang, you don't have to speak, as long as you think something in your heart, I can hear it."
The young man suddenly became conflicted, looking at the big camp not far away, he was about to cross the heart of the river, and he didn't know whether to go back to report for a while.
"Brother Liang, Bai Lin said, it's too late for you to go back, those who arrested us at night won't survive tonight. He said, "You'd better go home, or you'll lose your life." ”
After hearing this, the young man did not hesitate at all, immediately turned the bow of the boat, and rowed back with his life. "Chestnut, I don't know what your situation is now, anyway, I'm relieved that you're okay."
"Brother Liang, don't worry. If you go back, I'll watch it for you. I can't tell you now, but it's like a bird flying in the sky, and I can see it more clearly than I can see in the daytime. ”
"Okay, stinky boy, it's up to you whether you can survive tonight."
Then, the chestnuts didn't move again. The young man couldn't care so much, he just took care of himself and desperately paddled back, and in his mind, Wu Chang's concerned appearance before his death kept appearing.
————————————
When Chestnut woke up again, there was a glittering stone light of various colors, and in his arms was the big silver cat that scared him, turning his belly, stepping on his face with his hind feet, and falling asleep. Not far away, drops of green water continued to drip down from the stalagmites on the cave, and the golden loach was coiled on it, as if it was also asleep.
Chestnut, gently pulled her hand out from under the big cat, and then tiptoed out and began to crawl out.
"Where are you going to eat the little Terran mongrels inside and out?" An old voice made chestnuts suddenly startled, and looked around with wide eyes in horror.
"What are you looking at, you still want to run, Grandpa Qiu, I'll turn you into one today, hahaha."
"Okay, the old thing has no shape, what kind of majesty are you shaking with a child, just like your current bear, a rohu can kill you." Another old voice came.
"Hmph, I think back then, grandpa and I ......"
"If you think about the past, you know that you think about the past, so if you can think of it now, will you still say that you think about the past?"
"Hmph, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be here."
"Is it only their fault, they were just born at that time, what can they do, what they will do, and we are not to blame?"
"After many years, they are not a mess again, but as long as their hearts are firm, can we be reduced to this?"
"Shut up! Stop being verbose. Then, there was a wave of shaking.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, let's not say it."
"Don't be afraid, kid, this old thing is just to scare you, and it won't do anything to you."
Chestnut pretended that he hadn't heard anything, relieved himself, and continued to crawl out.
"You can't get out, without Bai Lin and Brother Jin opening the door for you, you can only stay here."
Chestnut still didn't believe it, and continued to crawl forward, and after crawling for a long time, he saw the big cat and the loach again, and then he didn't believe in evil, and his hands and feet crawled until he was bleeding, and he didn't know it, and continued to go his own way.
"This little cub is also interesting, it's quite similar to that, don't hit Zhongshan and don't look back."
"Shut up! Child, when they wake up, they will naturally let you out, don't be afraid and don't worry. ”
Chestnut finally gave up, and suddenly his stomach cried, and then from the hole, two red fruits fell.
"Old thing, what are you doing, can this kid eat that?"
"Can you eat it, won't you know when you're done? Besides, that's all we have, that little cub can't even do it, do we want to starve him to death? ”
The chestnut grabbed the fruit on the ground, and after starting it, it felt hard at first, but as soon as I got it, I immediately smelled a special fragrance, and it became soft, and I took a big bite without thinking about it.
I only felt that the cool and transparent feeling was from the top of my head, all the way down, through the viscera, straight to the root of the tail, and then I cycled a few times, and I couldn't help but shiver comfortably. I can't care so much, it's okay not to eat, I'm even more hungry after eating, and after a while, I burp, and both fruits are in my stomach, and I don't feel that way anymore.
"Do you think it's a fairy elixir, and after he eats it, he will be able to increase his strength, be reborn, and soar? However, two small earth spirits can make him refreshed for a long time at most. ”
"How do you know? Don't? ”
"No, absolutely not, I'm just using it to tease a few little bastards passing by down the mountain."
After eating and drinking, the chestnut felt bored, and then began to seriously observe the surroundings. Below the loach, there was a glowing pool, he climbed there, and suddenly saw the young man surnamed Liang rowing, and then after talking for a long time, he suddenly disappeared.
Chestnut hurriedly walked around the waterhole and looked around, "Grandpa, help me, I can't see or hear." ”
"Child, the rain has stopped, Brother Jin is still recovering his soul, if it wakes up, it can help you."
Chestnut sat there helplessly, and couldn't help but cry.
Outside the cave, there was a sudden sound that seemed to be a flat thunder, and Brother Jin opened his eyes, and a faint green light flashed.
