Chapter 6: The Tragedy of Annihilation

The two of them have been to Dongcheng many times before, although there is no shelter for beggars here, but it is prosperous, and there are many rich and noble families, and they hope to get something to eat.

However, the two of them used to come to the door to beg for food, and they were beaten out with a stick, but sometimes they were lucky enough to meet someone with a better heart, and they mixed a bowl of leftovers and cold roasted, and there might be two or three meat bones in it.

In the past, every time I came here, I was met with contempt from others. I thought that I could save some face this time with a chic Taoist dress, but when I got to the ground, the two of them were disappointed.

The street market in Dongcheng is usually very lively, with peddlers and pawns rubbing shoulders one after another, as well as vendors setting up stalls, shouting and selling. There is a dazzling array of goods for sale.

But at this time, it is the end of the year, the weather is also cold, the peddlers and pawns have gone home to prepare for the New Year, and most of the wine shops and teahouses on both sides of the market are closed, and they are very deserted.

The two of them were so excited that they didn't have the heart to go shopping.

Yun Yi was about to ask the fat man to return to the Wujiao Courtyard together, but he heard the fat man suddenly let out an exclamation.

"Whose daughters are they, why are they so good-looking!" said the fat man, pointing to a building not far away.

Yun Yi looked in the direction pointed by the fat man, there was a three-story building, the door was lit up, and the windows of several rooms on the second floor were propped up by several young women.

The women were about seventeen or eighteen years old, and they were quite beautiful, holding fans in their hands, laughing and scolding each other. Several people are wearing light close-fitting gauze clothes, outlining a graceful posture with bumps and bumps, and their fair skin is hidden from time to time, and the charm is attractive.

"How can you wear such a thin body and bones in such a cold day?" the fat man grinned.

Yun Yi was already so ashamed that his face was hot, and he could hear the fat man's nonsense, turned his head to look at him, and saw his salivating expression on his face, and secretly said that he shouldn't come here.

They both knew very well who those women were, and the fat man asked knowingly just now, in order to stop for a moment and feast his eyes.

The women also noticed the two of them at this time, and threw flattering glances at the two, saying some presumptuous and bold words in their mouths, and Yun Yi blushed even more when he heard it. The fat man was fascinated by his face, and he was quite intoxicated.

"Gone, gone. Seeing that the two big teapots in front of the kiln door had the intention of inviting the two of them in, Yun Yi hurriedly pulled up the fat man and turned his head to leave.

The fat man was dragged all the way by Yun Yi, looked back all the way, and did not reluctantly turn back until he turned the street, and he was still unfinished, obviously.

Turning to another street, Yun Yi wanted to take the fat man to take a shortcut back to the Wujiao Courtyard, but he didn't go far when he heard a sound of fast and orderly footsteps behind him, turned his head to look back, and saw a team of officers and soldiers who were neatly dressed and running forward.

These officers and soldiers should have a hundred and ten people, all of them with sharp swords on their waists, and their eyes are very unkind. Judging by its outfit, it should be the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo.

The two of them consciously moved out of the way and let themselves run by.

Seeing that the Xiliang army had gone a little farther, the fat man whispered, "Why are these turtle grandchildren in a hurry?"

"I don't know, but Zhun Bao is not going to do a good job. Yun Yi looked at the Xiliang army that was gradually running away, and shook his head.

"Why don't we go along and have a look?" asked the fat man.

"Not very proper. Yun Yi shook his head, although Zuo Ci had said that Dong Zhuo was a little afraid of him, but that was somewhat of a braggart, so it was better not to cause trouble.

"Hey, hey," the fat man smirked, "We grew up together, I don't know you?"

Yun Yi was a little hesitant, but in fact, he really wanted to go over and join in the fun.

When he was hesitating, the fat man dragged him to follow the Xiliang army: "Let's go, what trouble can we get into? If something happens, let's just run, they are wearing such heavy armor, they must not run as fast as the two of us." ”

What the fat man said was the truth, Yun Yi nodded, and the two of them quickened their pace to keep up with the Xiliang army.

Those Xiliang soldiers knew that the two were following behind, but they did not turn back to expel the two, the reason is very simple, no one in Chang'an dared to take the initiative to provoke Dong Zhuo, unless he was tired of being crooked.

After running out of five or six miles in a row, they arrived at the gate of a magnificent official mansion, and those Xiliang troops stopped advancing and marched into the mansion in formation.

The two didn't dare to follow anymore, so they stopped outside the mansion and quietly looked at those Xiliang troops.

There was a doorman outside the mansion, and when he saw that a group of fierce Xiliang troops were about to break into the mansion, he didn't dare to stop it, and ran into the mansion in a panic to report.

The captain who was in front of the team raised his hand and waved, and the Xiliang army behind him immediately divided into two teams and entered the mansion from his left and right.

The captain who led the team was the last to enter, and he stepped into the threshold with one foot and glanced back at the two men not far away.

"This seems to be an official mansion, what are these turtle grandchildren doing here?" the fat man asked in a low voice.

Yun Yi shook his head and stared at the mansion. Just after the captain entered the inside, the vermilion lacquer gate of the mansion was closed from the inside by the two Xiliang soldiers, so he couldn't see the situation inside.

After a while, a man's angry scolding suddenly came from the house, and the angry scolding lasted for a short time before it came to an abrupt end, and then a noisy cry sounded in the courtyard, followed by the sound of calling the old and the young, and the men and women crying.

Although the two of them couldn't see the scene in the house, they knew what was going on inside when they heard the wails of those desperate and crazy people, and they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines and break out in a cold sweat.

The sound was noisy and chaotic at first, but gradually became much less, and after about half a pillar of incense, the wailing inside completely stopped, and the vermilion lacquer gate was opened from the courtyard, and the captain who led the team walked out of the gate with a bloodstained Xiliang army.

The two trembled and distanced themselves from the Xiliang army.

Seeing that those Xiliang troops had gone far away, the fat man said: "The people inside seem to be all dead." ”

"Go in and have a look. Yun Yi walked towards the mansion, and the fat man followed.

Entering the mansion, the two couldn't help but gasp, their faces turned pale with horror, from the vestibule to the backyard, the area was full of dead bodies, from the old lady to the servants, no one survived, each corpse was covered with knife wounds and sword marks, the blood flowing from the wound had not yet completely coagulated, and the courtyard was filled with a disgusting bloody gas.

Even though the two of them had already guessed that the Xiliang Army had killed the family, seeing it with their own eyes still made their hearts feel chilly, and their bodies trembled like chaff, and their hands and feet trembled unobediently.

"How can these brutes be so hot. The fat man's teeth chattered.

"Let's see if there are any living people...... Yun Yiqiang said calmly, he had killed the three Daoists of Luojiadao before, and his psychological endurance was slightly better than that of the fat man.

The fat man shuddered and said yes and went to the backyard. Yun Yi checked the heartbeat and breathing of the dead bodies all over the ground from the front yard, but no one survived.

After looking at the courtyard, and then at the wings on both sides and the main house on the north side, all the doors were open, and the window paper was mostly stained with blood.

After searching more than a dozen rooms in a row, he didn't find a single living person, and when he entered another room and saw a female corpse lying on the ground, Yun Yi was stunned.

The female corpse had two long knife marks on her back, her skin and flesh were rolled, the blood had not yet dried, her head was tilted to the side, her eyes had long been dilated, and the expression on her face had long been solidified, which was fear and anger.

Seeing that the female corpse was pressed under her with her hands, and she seemed to be holding something in her arms, Yun Yi stepped forward and turned over the corpse, and saw clearly what the female corpse was holding in her arms, Yun Yi's eyes were instantly bloodshot, and her body trembled violently.

It was a baby in its infancy.

The collar of the female corpse was more than half open, the chest was pushed up by nearly half a foot, her left hand was pillowed on the back of the swaddling head, and her right hand was holding the swaddling back, which showed that she was breastfeeding the child at the beginning of the arrival of the Xiliang Army.

When the tyrannical Xiliang soldiers rushed into the room and slashed her, she did not subconsciously use the child in her arms to block, but turned around to protect the baby in her arms.

There are two knife cuts on the back of the female corpse, one deep and one shallow, indicating that the Xiliang soldier who killed her made up another knife after cutting the first knife, but she did not let go of the child in her hand until she died, even after falling to the ground, she also protected the back of the child's head with both hands, and it was undoubtedly the woman's natural motherhood that prompted her to make this move.

Although the female corpse fought with her life to protect the baby, the baby did not survive, and after she fell down, she pressed the baby's mouth and nose, and the baby could not breathe, and was suffocated alive......

After standing for a long time, Yun Yi raised his hand and closed the eyes of the female corpse, staggered out of the door, and did not search other rooms that he had never seen.

Those Xiliang soldiers were brutal and unreasonable, and even the women and babies who were still in swaddling clothes refused to let go, and I am afraid that there will be no living people in this courtyard.

Just as Yun Yi walked to the courtyard in despair, the fat man's voice suddenly came from the backyard: "Come on, there is a living mouth here!"

Yun Yi was shocked when he heard the sound, and ran into the backyard quickly, only to see a fat man with blood on his hands holding an eighteen or nineteen-year-old beautiful woman in his arms. The woman had lost so much blood that she had turned pale and had been unconscious for a long time.

"She was stabbed in the back. When the fat man saw him come in, he hurried to explain the situation.

Yun Yi stepped forward quickly, turned over the woman's body, and saw that there was a wound on her back that was pulling down and bleeding outward, although the wound was long but not deep, and the bones and internal organs were not injured.

Upon closer examination, it was found that the woman's heart was still warm, and although her breathing pulse was weak, she was still saved.

"Hurry back to the Black Kok Annex. Yun Yi picked up the woman.

"I'll carry her. The fat man got up and said.

Yun Yi nodded, put down the woman and let the fat man carry it.

The two walked out of the backyard quickly, Yun Yi first went to look outside the gate, saw that there was no one around, and beckoned the fat man to leave.

The Dock occupies a large area and is guarded by a large number of guards. When they returned to the Wujiao Courtyard, they happened to pass through Yiwu, and the two were afraid of being intercepted by the guards outside Yiwu, so they didn't dare to take a shortcut, so they could only make a big detour to avoid Yiwu.

Although he avoided the people in Hewu, he couldn't avoid a few Taoists from Locke's Road who had been wandering around the Wujiao Courtyard for months, and when the other party saw the two carrying a woman back, they didn't intercept them, but quickly turned around and ran away.

When he returned to the Wujiao Courtyard, Zhu Xiaoqing was busy in the kitchen to prepare the meals, and Zuo Ci was burning incense in the main hall to worship the ancestors.

Yun Yi took the unconscious woman from the fat man's back and carried her back to the room, asking the fat man to go and ask Zuo Ci quickly.

Yun Yi entered the house with his front foot, and his left foot arrived with his back foot.

"Put her down and go get some hot water. Zuo Ci waved his hand at Yun Yi, who was about to speak.
