A few days later, Jiang Yuan came to a fishing village by the sea, full of desolation and dilapidation, many houses were empty, there were only dozens of people in the village, most of them were old and weak, women and children, it seemed that all the people who could walk were gone, and the rest could not walk.

Jiang Yuan led the horse into the village, and the villagers looked at Jiang Yuan one after another. The young man rode a horse, and he didn't look like a poor man, much less like a local. What is this young man here for?

"Big brother, who are you?" A girl stood in her yard and looked at Jiang Yuan timidly and asked.

Jiang Yuan looked at the girl, about six or seven years old, her hair was simply tied in two small bags, quite messy, her little face was dirty like a little beggar, and there were some chilblains and calluses on her hands. It can be seen that life is very hard.

Jiang Yuan looked at the little girl and was sad, and asked, "Where is your adult?"

The girl lowered her head and played with her fingers and said, "Grandma is lying on the bed, and Xiaohai is chopping wood on the mountain." ”

Jiang Yuan asked again, "What about the rest of the village?"

The girl still lowered her head and said, "Some of them were killed by the Japanese robbers, and the rest ran away." ”

Jiang Yuan continued to ask, "Then why don't you run?"

This sentence seemed to ask the girl's sore spot, Jiang Yuan found that the ground at the girl's feet was wet, and he was annoyed why he was so abrupt, and he didn't know what to say, the girl said: "I've never been outside, and I can't survive if I run out." Besides, my grandmother can't run when she's old, so who will take care of her when I run away?"

Jiang Yuan's heart was sour, and he pushed the fence into the courtyard and squatted down beside the girl. He asked, "Then aren't you afraid of the Japanese Invaders?"

The girl wiped her tears with her little hands, looked up at Jiang Yuan, and said, "I have answered your three questions, and you haven't told me who you are!"

Jiang Yuan barely squeezed out a smile and said, "My name is Jiang Yuan, and I'm from outside." ”

The girl thought for a moment and said, "Big brother, you are so strange, only people from our village have ever run outside, and no one has come from outside." Aren't you afraid of the pirates? They want to kill people. ”

"Who are you talking to outside?" asked an old voice in the room.

The girl answered and ran quickly to the house: "It's nothing, a big brother from outside." ”

Jiang Yuanhe followed into the house. The light in the room was very dim, and Jiang Yuan could barely see the girl struggling to help up the old woman lying on the bed.

The old woman sat up, leaned against the wall, looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, "Young man, are you from outside?"

Jiang Yuan adapted to the dim light in the room, and while scanning the furnishings in the house, he replied, "Yes, the junior is a northerner. The furnishings in the house were so shabby, there was not even a decent table and chairs, and the house was low, Jiang Yuan couldn't imagine how the three of them could live in such an environment.

The old woman was obviously terminally ill, and asked angrily, "Then why did you come here?"

Jiang Yuan replied: "I heard that there are people here who have organized to resist the Japanese invaders, so I came to help." ”

The old woman laughed and said, "Young man, you don't know, these Japanese robbers are very powerful, even the officers and soldiers can't beat them, a few years ago there were still officers and soldiers stationed here, last year those robbers rushed up from the sea, killed all the officials and soldiers, ransacked the village, and the young people ran away." I advise you, hurry up, for the Wako will come at some point. Don't give your life in vain. ”

Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, you don't have to worry, I have been practicing martial arts with my master since I was a child, and I came here to deal with the Japanese invaders." ”

"I'm back!" shouted a teenager outside the door.

The little fish turned and ran out, helping the boy unload the firewood.

"Young man, I want to ask you a favor. The old woman looked at the back of Xiaoyu running out and asked Jiang Yuan.

"Mother-in-law, you say, I will help you if I can do it. Jiang Yuan saw his pity and nodded in response.

"I can't get better from this illness, and even if the widows don't come, I won't have a few days to live. When some people fled in the village, I begged them to take the two children away, but who wanted to take care of the two burdens when they fled. I see that you are extraordinary, and I think you are also a blessed person, I just ask you to take them away, whether it is serving tea and pouring water or being a cow or a horse, as long as you can give them a way to live, I will repay you with a grass ring in the next life......" The old woman said and coughed violently.

Jiang Yuan saw the blood spilling from the old woman's hands covering her mouth at a glance, and hurriedly agreed: "I promise you, I will protect those two children and settle them well! Jiang Yuan was a little panicked and shouted outside the door: "You two come in, your grandmother is coughing up blood!"

The two children hurriedly rushed in, and Xiaoyu dragged and cried, "Grandma......, what's wrong with you?"

The old woman seemed to be afraid that Jiang Yuan would regret it, so she grabbed the two children and said, "From now on, you two will follow that young man, you will do whatever he tells you to do, listen to him, kowtow to him, ...... quickly."

The two teenagers cried together, and the old woman anxiously urged them to kowtow, as if the two children could live after kowtowing. Jiang Yuan hoped to reassure the old woman, so he didn't stop him.

The two teenagers lay at Jiang Yuan's feet with tears in their eyes and kowtowed a few times, and the old woman finally lay down with satisfaction and closed her eyes quietly.

It turned out that the old woman had already run out of oil and dried up, because she was too worried about the two children, so she hung her breath, and now that her wish was gone, she went with peace of mind.

The little girl turned her head and found that the old woman was no longer breathing, and immediately cried into a tearful person: "Grandma......"

Jiang Yuan didn't know how to comfort this little girl who had just become an orphan, and sadness gradually spread between the three of them.

According to local customs, the newly deceased must be mortuary for seven days before they can be buried in the ground, and the old people in the village heard that someone had passed away, and they came to this small courtyard one after another, and finally sent this neighbor who had been sick and sympathetic all his life, if nothing else, this is also their final end.

Jiang Yuan asked the two teenagers to look at the old man's body in the courtyard, and he carried an axe to the mountain to see a few trees, hoping to make a simple coffin. Who knew that Jiang Yuan had just arrived on the mountain, and the village suddenly cried loudly, and when Jiang Yuan looked back, several houses in the village were already on fire.

Oh no, the Wako is coming!

Jiang Yuan was worried about the safety of the villagers, so he dropped his axe and quickly jumped back to the village.

Only a dozen or so of them have arrived, and they are chasing and killing the villagers. Jiang Yuan was a step late, and most of the old people in the village couldn't walk, and they had already been slaughtered.

"Bastards!

Furious, Jiang Yuan pulled out his long sword and greeted him, venting all his anger on this gang of widows.

"Big brother, look, there is still a young one! Look at the clothes he is wearing, he must have silver on him!" a widow shouted to the people around him, knowing Jiang Yuan excitedly.

"Aren't you a Japanese person?" Jiang Yuan was already angry, "You are a Han Chinese! You actually helped the Japanese to kill their compatriots!"

"Brothers, kill him!"

Several Japanese robbers rushed up, brandishing swords to kill Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan stabbed out with a sword, and no one could stop it! A sword slashed through the necks of the six people who were blocking in front of him! Jiang Yuan, who had killed six people with a sword, didn't look at the corpses that had fallen to the ground, and continued to walk forward.

"I thought that someone colluded with the Japanese to just report or act as a guide, but I didn't expect you to even kill your own compatriots, and none of you can leave today!" Jiang Yuan roared angrily.

"Get on, get on me!" The person who looks like this leader seems to be also a Han Chinese. Anyway, it doesn't make a difference, you have to die anyway!

Although the man loudly scolded his subordinates, no one dared to step forward, Jiang Yuan approached step by step, looking at their frightened faces, unexpectedly relieved. It turned out to be a group of dogs fighting against people, Jiang Yuan thought, yes, if they really have a kind, how can they be the lackeys of the widows?

"Run!" Someone finally broke that nerve and shouted and began to run for their lives.

Jiang Yuan rushed to the crowd in one step, his long sword swinging horizontally, blood splattering everywhere! These people had never practiced martial arts at all, and they usually only followed behind the real widows, so how could they be Jiang Yuan's opponents, almost in an instant, all of them were lying in wait at Jiang Yuan's feet.

At the moment when Jiang Yuan eliminated those people, a long knife stabbed Jiang Yuan from behind. Jiang Yuan knew that someone was hiding behind him,

He was already prepared, and flashed this blow to the side, turned around and stabbed the person with a sword, but unexpectedly stabbed in the air.

Jiang Yuan looked at the man carefully, his hair was similar to that of Hu Ren, he had a little beard under his nose, five short figures, and strange clothes.

The man was muttering bird language, Jiang Yuan didn't understand, and he didn't want to listen, Jiang Yuan just wanted to kill people at this moment!

The man struck first, slashing towards Jiang Yuan with a knife in both hands. Jiang Yuan had never fought with the Japanese Kou, and he didn't know his martial arts path, so he used his sword to block the long knife that came from the split, bullying him for being short, Jiang Yuan raised his foot and kicked him to the ground. Jiang Yuan didn't expect this blow to be so easy to succeed, and casually swung his sword and slashed off his knife-holding right arm. The widow screamed, clutching his severed shoulder and struggling to remember.

"Big brother!" Xiao Yuhe ran out of nowhere, looking at the corpses on the ground and Jiang Yuan, who was covered in blood, trembling with fright, but Xiao Hai was very calm, picked up a knife casually, and protected his sister behind him to Jiang Yuan's side.

Jiang Yuan didn't want the two children to see such a bloody scene, and was about to comfort them, but Xiao Hai carried a steel knife and cut off the head of the struggling wolf on the ground.

"Poof", blood splattered.

The head rolled to Jiang Yuan's feet, and his round eyes showed an incredible look, as if he didn't believe that it was the hand of a milky hairy child. Xiaoyu was frightened and screamed loudly. Xiao Hai pursed his lips, raised his leg and kicked it far away.

Jiang Yuan felt incredible, he couldn't do such a thing by himself, let alone stay calm after he finished it.

What kind of kid is this?
