Chapter 19: Death and Life, the Sky Has Eyes
Outside the city gate at this time, there was a shout of killing.
Originally, the king saw that the remnants of the enemy were already at the end of the crossbow, and some of them didn't even have weapons.
So he relieved himself to send the children of his clan to grab this credit.
But I didn't expect that the enemy was a fierce man who was not afraid of death, and when he saw that there was no way to retreat, he rushed back with the idea of pulling a cushion.
And the untrained Wang disciples are just showmanship, and it is difficult to even shoot fixed targets, let alone experienced and high-speed moving enemies?
In less than a dozen breaths, the enemy rushed into the Wang clan's formation and slashed with a swing of his sword.
Where have the young masters seen this battle? There were very few people who drew their swords to fight, and the rest were so frightened that they dropped their bows and arrows and ran away, and some of them couldn't even run, so they just sat on the ground.
Seeing that the front battle was crushed by a blow, the ranks of the people behind could not help but make an uproar.
The head of the dart hurried up to the rescue with a silver spear, and scolded at the same time: "That's a nice word, what kind of big clan? Bah! Silver-like pewter heads! ”
In an instant, the ranks of the common people came into close contact with the remnants of the enemy.
These people are all three religions and nine streams, the dart master perennial dart, and the green forest water bandits to compete, martial arts extraordinary, Taoist sword out of the sky, with one enemy and two do not fall behind.
But not all the people have martial arts.
Some people dare to go into battle with their lonely courage and carry some weapons of rough copper and iron, and they cannot even simply obey commands, and they are not even a unified enemy in front of the enemy.
Seeing that the remnants of the enemy were getting closer and closer to the city gate, even Qi Yicheng, Qi Ming and others who were watching the battle in the rear also joined the battle, after all.
If it is really attacked at the city gate, even if it is only one step in, it will become the first time since the establishment of Yuxian County that it has been broken by the Japanese Invaders!
Qi Yicheng made a good fire gun, and shot an enemy to the ground with a raised hand, and Chen Yin'er cooperated with Qi Ming to push the horse barrier back to the door.
At that moment, a red-eyed enemy broke free of the barrier, broke out of the chaos, and went straight to the city gate.
And his target is Chen Yin'er!
The sword was raised, and the enemy used the last of his strength to charge, and the smell of blood was carried by the smell of blood, and the distance of thirty paces was coming.
Suddenly, there was a bang, and the enemy stooped down like an unpredictable prophet, avoiding a bullet that Qi Yi Cheng was bound to get!
It is only five steps away from Chen Yin'er!
"Get out of the way!" Qi Ming disregarded her safety, picked up the broken sword and rushed up, blocking her in front of her.
A broken sword is naturally no match for the benefits of a sword, and under a single blow, the remaining sword body shattered into a little meteor and scattered.
Raise the knife again and face Qi Ming's head!
"Ming'er, let's go!"
At the last moment, Qi Yicheng stepped forward and pushed Qi Ming away.
The sword slashed straight into Qi Yicheng's chest.
"Father's !!"
Qi Ming's eyes were about to split, and he hurriedly hugged Qi Yicheng, but what he touched was a hot and viscous liquid, gushing out from between his fingers, wetting a large piece of clothes.
"Doctor! Doctor!! Qi Ming shouted hoarsely.
The enemy finally fell in full force, and was only one step away from the city gates.
Knowing that he was going to die, he laughed out loud at this time, and said in an official dialect with a Fujian accent:
"Kill an official! Well done! Hahaha...... It's not enough, I really want to die for my father and aunt, kill more! ”
Chen Yin'er hated his sluggishness, picked up the knife that flew to the side, and slashed at him: "Dogs and robbers, go to death!" ”
The wound was huge, blood was flowing all over his clothes, Qi Yicheng's face quickly turned gray, and he knew that his time was running out.
"You don't have to call a doctor...... Qi Yicheng smiled: "If you are injured like this, the gods will be difficult to save." ”
"Father!"
Qi Yicheng coughed twice, and more blood gushed out: "Ming'er, listen well!" After his father went, he sold the property in Yuxian County and returned to Yangzhou. ”
"Yes......" Qi Ming's lips trembled.
"Don't make my death angry with others, don't trouble the Wang family, you are too simple, and my father is most worried about you.
Also, Lu Yun is a good one, you still associate as friends. In the future, whether you are admitted to the imperial examination, or you can be a rich man with peace of mind, you will ask him for advice if you are undecided.
It is also reassuring to be a father in this way......"
Qi Yicheng's voice became lower and lower, the last word dissipated from his lips, he gently closed his eyes, and died in his son's arms.
"Father! Father! ”
Qi Ming raised his head to the sky and roared, tears falling on Qi Yicheng's face and chest like raindrops.
……
After a chaotic battle, all the remnants of the enemy were removed, and the corpses were piled up on the shore.
The fire on the river was about to be extinguished, only a little red light remained and floated with the water waves, and the two actors had returned, burned to the core, but they were carrying the corpses of their companions on their shoulders.
"Have you seen my husband?" Chen Yin'er hurriedly rushed forward.
The two actors looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I haven't seen Master Lu since I lit the fire, I'm afraid it's ......"
Chen Yin'er held the lamp and looked firmly at Yujiang in the distance: "No, the Immortal Bodhisattva will bless her!" Fathers and fathers, and him...... It's all from the heavens! ”
Qi Ming, who had just placed his father's body, was still wearing the blood-stained Confucian shirt, her eyes were red, and her voice was choked: "Sister-in-law......"
"I'm going to find her!" Chen Yin'er pulled her feet and left.
Qi Ming tugged at her sleeve: "Sister-in-law!" My father is gone, and Brother Lu has passed away again, and I am also very sad in my heart!
But there are no gods and ghosts in the world at all, and under such a fire, it is possible that Brother Lu will not come back, please mourn! ”
Chen Yin'er didn't explain, just looked into his eyes fixedly.
"I'm going to find my husband, would you like to go with me?"
After looking at each other for dozens of seconds, Qi Ming finally closed his eyes and sighed: "Okay!" ”
……
At this time, it was early in the morning, the fog was deep and heavy, and the cold air rose from the ground, piercing the bones of the human body. From time to time, the remains of ships floated in the river, or charred corpses.
The two of them took advantage of the embers on the surface of the river to find all the way down.
"It's the Lantern Festival, and the dark tide at the bottom of the river is surging this way, and the husband must be going down this way." Chen Yin'er probed the river with her hand and affirmed.
Qi Ming nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to the shore over there to look for it, and my sister-in-law will look for it here." ”
Chen Yin'er shook her head: "She is not so stupid, she will definitely come ashore from this side, let's just look for it along this side of the river." ”
"This ......"
Qi Ming touched his chin, his hands were full of bloodstains: "Even so, but the river is so foggy, does Brother Lu still recognize the road?" ”
"She recognizes!"
After walking for almost two miles, I was passing a stone bridge, where the fire of last night had not burned, and there were still many reeds growing on the banks of the river on both sides.
"It's so dark! Sister-in-law, I'm tired of shining the lamp. ”
The light shone over, and I saw a figure faintly visible among the reeds, Chen Yin'er's heart suddenly jumped up, and urged Qi Ming: "Go quickly, go quickly!" ”
The two of them sprinted for a while, brushing aside the reeds and taking a closer look.
Sure enough, it's Lu Qi!
It's really Lu Qi!
Chen Yin'er trembled and reached out to touch it, although Lu Qi was wet and cold, his chest was still warm, but it was very cold.
"How...... What do you think? Obviously, the person was already in front of him, but Qi Ming didn't dare to look at it, his hands were pulling at his clothes, and the worst outcome was turning in his mind.
"Get a doctor! You help me with the lantern, but don't put it out! Chen Yin'er carried her on her back and clinged to herself.
With a few words, Chen Yin'er hurriedly rushed to the county seat with Lu Qi on her back.
Qi Ming followed a few quick steps, looking at the two people in front of him, and for some reason his pace gradually slowed down.
The warm flame of light in the lantern was still flickering, and the grief and confusion deposited in my heart began to dissipate.
The darkest hour has passed, and when I look up at the sky, the east is gradually revealing a thick white light, and the red glow is brilliant, and the dawn is approaching.
I couldn't help but burst into tears and bowed to the sky.
"The sky has eyes! The sky has eyes! ”
