Chapter 33: Killing II
Otherwise, if this killing was placed in her own store, the swallow building she worked so hard to build and arrange would probably suffer, and the whole family would have to be unlucky!
The screams outside the door intensified, and finally slowly weakened again.
Qin Liu saw a Ming army general wearing heavy armor enter the room.
The little mute and Maang were two against him, and it seemed difficult to deal with him, and he had only the power to parry.
The movements of the generals of the Ming army were wide open and closed, neat and crisp and full of strength, like a god descending from heaven. Ma Ang was slashed and lost his blade, fell to the ground, and was caught by the Ming soldiers who followed the door, and the little mute fought with the Ming generals for more than 20 rounds, and finally was held to the throat with a sword because of the broken weapon and exhaustion.
Even so, the little mute's gaze was stubborn and unyielding.
There is a fearless spirit of "killing people is not enough, and Lao Tzu is a good man again after eighteen years".
Qin Liu exclaimed in fright!
The soldiers who entered the house held down the little mute and searched the house again, and Qin Liu and Da Lang, who were still asleep, under the bed, were pulled out.
The brave Ming army general took off his helmet, frowned and asked Qin Liu, "What about the small one?" β
Qin Liu finally recognized the man at this timeβit was the handsome officer who had made a good start in her Swallow Building.
Qin Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the beams of the room.
The handsome officer jumped lightly onto the beam, and the beam shook and fell a layer of ash.
When he fell, he was already holding a child in his hand - it was Erlang.
There was another sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, but it was clear that someone had stopped them.
"General Zhu! Why don't you wait for me! Qian chased you all the way from the capital to here, and asked General Zhu to see him! β
The handsome officer holding the child turned pale and stuffed the child into Qin Liu's arms, but pushed her to the ground, pushed the little mute to the ground, and pressed them with several corpses.
Da Lang was also crushed under the body.
Qin Liu didn't know what he was going to do, so he obeyed without saying a word.
This person could have killed the little mute but didn't, obviously not to go against them.
The handsome officer went out of the room and negotiated with the outsiders for a while.
As a result, a person came in from outside the house, and after scanning the room, he was surprised: "Yo, isn't this a thousand households here?" How did you die? β
The handsome officer asked coldly: "You are a brocade guard, how do you know the border army?" β
The man smiled and said: "I am not talented, I am appreciated by Gonggong Liu, I am on business near the capital, I have important things to do, and I have already dealt with Master Zhang twice." Alas! It's a pity that a thousand households actually died in the house like this, and their throats were cut! The eldest husband should gallop across the field and shroud in horse leather, General Zhu, do you say? β
The handsome officer frowned, and his tone was a little impatient: "Qian Ning, have you made enough trouble?" If you've had enough trouble, get out! β
The person who called Qian Ning couldn't hold back his face for a while, and said angrily: "You! β
But he didn't dare to continue.
Footsteps and human voices came from outside the house again: "General Zhu! General Zhu! Meet Jiang Bin, the commander of the Lower Ulzhou Guard! Track down the remnants of the Tartars here! Please also ask General Zhu to let me go in and have a look! β
The handsome officer shouted coldly: "Come in!" β
Jiang Bin searched for a foothold in the gaps between the corpses on the ground, and finally entered the room.
He quickly glanced around the room and gasped and asked, "What's going on?" How did Zhang Qianhu die? β
Blood had soaked the floor of the room. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a Shura field.
The handsome officer pointed to Ma Ang, who was a little sluggish on the side, and said lightly: "You say! β
Ma Ang's words were concise: "Xiaguan heard that the Tartar soldiers were coming to attack Master Zhang, and rushed to the rescue, Zhang Qianhu was killed, and Xiaguan was blocked in the room by the Tartars......"
Jiang Bin squeezed out a smile on his face: "You are a small hundred, but you are heroic!" It's a pity that it's not our Ulzhou Wei people! β
Jiang Bin had already seen Qian Ning, who was wearing a flying fish suit on the side with a displeased face, and asked tentatively: "Everyone has worked hard, why don't you go to the post station to rest, and leave the matter of cleaning the battlefield to this local hundred-hundred!" β
The handsome officer glanced at Maang faintly, and walked out of the room first.
Immediately, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and others also left.
Ma Ang heard that there were no footsteps in the courtyard, and hurriedly turned Qin Liu and the two children out from under the pile of corpses.
He went out by himself to check carefully, and found that the road was empty, and occasionally there were one or two soldiers guarding and patrolling, or the local soldiers, and he was a little relieved.
He asked the little mute to go back with Qin Liu and the two children.
He himself had to count the number of people here, wait for the civilian officials to come and verify the number of people, determine the merits, and have soldiers come to clean up the battlefield.
Maang had to laugh at the timidity of the local soldiers and their knowledge of current affairs, and when they heard that the Tartar soldiers were coming, they were all scattered, and no one wanted to be an unlucky ghost who took the lead and died.
The little mute hugged Da Lang, Qin Liu hugged Erlang, and the two of them went home with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the small backyard door they walked through was as unnoticeable as possible - the four people were covered in blood, which was really scary.
Qin Liu and the little mute directly carried the child into the shower to rinse, and the bloody smell was really disgusting.
Qin Liu first washed Erlang, and then cleaned Dalang, and put them in the quilt on the kang, she found that the little mute had fallen asleep sitting on the small bench in the shower room.
Qin Liu didn't bother him, went to the east wing to add firewood to the boiler, and went to the north hut to get the little mute's clothes, and came over to help the little mute clean it.
In the hall sat Li Laohan, who was full of worry but didn't look at him, Qin Liu just gave him a comforting look and asked him to go to rest earlier.
Qin Liu took off his clothes for the little mute who was already paralyzed, only to find that there was an extremely deep cut on his thigh, which was still bleeding.
She simply rinsed the blood stains for him, helped him dry off the water and helped him out of the house, found a clean cloth to tie the wound, covered him with a quilt and hurried out.
Before she reached the door, Old Man Lou came in from outside the house, frowned and asked her, "Where are you going?" As he spoke, he looked at her bloody clothes.
"The little mute is injured and still bleeding, I have to go to Dr. Qian!"
"I've got good medicine for wounds, I'll take a look!"
Old man Lou opened the cloth, checked the wound and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, just sprinkle the wound medicine to recuperate for a while." β
Old man Lou skillfully dressed the little mute and bandaged him. Old man Lou's medicine was magical, and the bleeding was immediately stopped when the wound was applied.
Old man Lou said: "Shopkeeper, you clean up and rest early, I'll stay outside, there should be nothing to do tonight." β
Qin Liu had a backbone, nodded, went to wash up himself, and went to bed early.
The height of the day was intense, and she was also exhausted.
The next morning, Qin Liu was woken up by the sound of Old Man Lou shouting for dinner.
The two children and the little mute were also woken up.
Qin Liu watched the two children sit up naked, and hurriedly found clothes for the children to put on, and the little mute's clothes were also thrown to him.
