Volume 2 Chapter 66 We're really fated
"You two aren't barbarians, are you? This kind of thing can only be said to be a common thing in the barbarian Qin, the barbarians regard the lives of our old Jin people as a mustard, and most of the errands in the official government are barbarians, how can they catch a barbarian rich man because of an old Jin slave who is insignificant to them? An old man in cloth came over and said.
He crouched down and sighed at the dead woman's corpse: "What a good child, it's a pity! ”
Huo Qiushi bit her teeth lightly, not knowing what she was thinking. Feng Zimo opened his mouth and asked, "The barbarians treat you like this, haven't you thought of resisting?" ”
The old man in cloth smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of resisting?" In the end, it will only increase their enslavement to us. It's not that we haven't resisted, it's just that every time we resist, this is the result. ”
Feng Zimo could hear the helplessness in the old man's tone. He sighed, for the sake of the old Jin people living in Barbarian Qin, and for the innocent girl in front of him.
"Grandpa, do you know where you can bury her?" Huo Qiushi asked.
"Out of the city, ten miles to the southwest, there is a mass grave, where all poor people like her are buried."
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and nodded to each other. It was they who ransomed the woman from the middle-aged man's hands, and they couldn't let her be exposed to the wilderness.
Feng Zimo went to buy a straw mat and shovel, then wrapped the woman's body, put it on the horse, and went out of the city.
The two came to the mass grave that the old man in cloth said. The scale of this mass grave is not small, and it looks like at least a few hundred people are buried.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and Huo Qiushi shivered involuntarily. Looking at the mass grave in front of her, she couldn't help but be angry, and said, "There are so many people who have died unjustly at the hands of barbarians, what a group of bastards!" ”
Feng Zimo was calm on the surface, but his fists were already quietly clenched, and he said, "A group of people who are already drinking blood, what do you want them to expect?" It is recorded in the book that when the barbarians attacked Beiyan that year, they indulged in burning and looting for three days when they broke a city, and the people everywhere they went were not happy. When the Northern Yan Capital was attacked, it burned and looted for ten days, causing the Northern Yan Capital to become a dead city. ”
"What a bunch of brutes!"
Feng Zimo adjusted his mood and said, "Okay, hurry up and let her settle down." ”
"Hmm."
The two found a place, dug a pit, put the woman's body in it, and buried it. Since they didn't know the woman's name, the two could only erect a wordless monument for her.
After doing this, Huo Qiushi looked at the wordless tablet and said with some melancholy: "The last thing she said to me was thank you, she only had one breath left, but there was no fear on her face when she said this." On the contrary, with a smile and relief on his face. I guess her thank you was a thank you for saving her from that brute? ”
Feng Zimo didn't answer Huo Qiushi's words, he quietly looked at the wordless monument, as if thinking about something.
After a while, he spoke, "Qiu Shi, I changed my mind. I'm going to take my mother back. ”
Huo Qiushi was not surprised at all as if she had already guessed that he would say this. After all, in the barbarian Qin, no matter how happy the life of the old Jin people is, it is not safe, who knows when they will be killed by the barbarians on a whim? If Feng Zimo didn't say that, Huo Qiushi would feel strange.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded from not far away, Huo Qiushi shuddered for a moment, and said, "It can't be a ghost, right?" ”
It's no wonder that Huo Qiushi thinks so, hearing footsteps in the mass grave at night is very reminiscent of the word lonely soul and wild ghost.
Huo Qiushi hid behind Feng Zimo, she was not afraid of people, but she was afraid of ghosts and the like!
Feng Zimo's expression was as usual, and there was no change in any way. In his previous life, he was a staunch materialist, and later he was the same even when his soul penetrated into this world.
"Brother Zimo, aren't you afraid? Hey, hey! No matter how high the martial arts are, you can't hit it. ”
Listening to Huo Qiushi's words, Feng Zimo couldn't help but want to laugh a little, and said, "You have heard too many ghost stories, right?" Where are the ghosts in this world? And don't you know that sometimes people are more terrible than ghosts? ”
"Who are you?"
As soon as Feng Zimo's words fell, a somewhat familiar voice sounded, Zhang Wanmeng appeared in front of the two of them with the people of the caravan, and the footsteps that the two of them heard just now were made by them.
Seeing Feng Zimo and the others, the eyes of the caravan members instantly became unkind.
Feng Zimo didn't care about their gaze, turned back to Huo Qiushi and said, "Look, I'll just say that there are no ghosts." ”
Huo Qiushi then returned to normal.
Feng Zimo hugged his fist and saluted Zhang Wanmeng, and said, "Miss Zhang, we are really fateful!" I didn't expect to see it in such a ghost place. ”
"What are Long Gongzi and Miss Huo doing here?" Zhang Wanmeng asked.
"Bury a friend. What about Miss Zhang and you? What are you doing here at night? ”
"Let's bury the old horse and the dog."
Listening to Zhang Wanmeng's words, Feng Zimo has completely determined that there is something wrong with this caravan, and the old horse and the dog baby are not nameless corpses whose identities are unknown, and they can be used to bury mass graves? And the whole caravan didn't have a shovel, not even a shovel, how to dig a pit and bury the corpse? Zhang Wanmeng was obviously lying.
However, Feng Zimo did not expose Zhang Wanmeng's lies, anyway, it has nothing to do with them what they are doing here, it is better not to take the initiative to cause trouble.
"It wasn't early, so we went back to bed. Miss Zhang, you should go back early. This place is heavy in yin and qi, and it is not good to stay for a long time. ”
Feng Zimo and the others turned on their horses and walked towards Youzhou City.
"Boss, now you can be sure it's them, right?"
Zhang Wanmeng nodded and said, "Let the two brothers with good skills go to their room to investigate at night." ”
"Yes."
……
When the two returned to the inn, it was already midday, and the shopkeeper fell asleep on the counter. Because of the woman's affairs, both of them were in a bit heavy.
The two found a table and sat down, Feng Zimo picked up the kettle and poured two glasses of water.
Huo Qiushi sighed and said, "In the end, I don't even know what the girl's name is, if only I could save her earlier." ”
Feng Zimo took a sip of water: "In our lives, we will more or less encounter things like today that make us powerless and regretful, don't think so much, just let it pass in the past, it's not a wise man's doing." ”
"Hmm." Huo Qiushi nodded.
"Well, it's not too early. Drink this glass of water and go back to your room for a good night's sleep. ”
