Chapter 2 Spotless and Spotless
"Go back. ”
Xue Niu'er spread his feet and ran in the direction of the fire, and Tie Zhu and Li Fu also reacted and followed Xue Niu'er.
In the early morning, the sun rises from the top of the mountain, and the rays of sunlight shine into the jungle where all kinds of birds are chirping, but there is a strong smell of burnt fire in the jungle.
Next to a large pile of ashes, sat three children with dull eyes and scattered capes, and the ashes emitted a foul-smelling corpse.
Overnight, the small village full of joy and harmony was transformed into a human Shura field.
"Iron pillar, what about my father, woo...... , what about my father," Li Fu couldn't stop crying.
Tie Zhu pulled up Li Fu, who was kneeling on the ground, "It's gone, it's gone, and there are only three of us left in the whole village." ”“
Xue Niu'er, what should we do," Tie Zhu wiped a handful of tears and knelt on the ground. Xue Niu'er stared at the carbon pile in front of him for a long time, and couldn't say a word.
Under the setting sun, there were three long lonely shadows on the ground, "Go down the mountain, go to the world outside the mountain, otherwise you will be eaten by wild beasts sooner or later, and we will live." ”
Xue Niu'er, who had been silent for a day, finally spoke, "I am the oldest, and I will listen to me in the future, if I live for one day, I will guarantee that you can also live for one day." ”
Lying on the ground exhausted, Li replied: "That's called relying on each other." ”
"Okay, then we will depend on each other in the future," Xue Niu'er squeezed out of the root of his teeth word by word. “
I haven't eaten for a day and a night, and there is still food left.
Tiezhu wiped his dirty face covered with dirt and tears with his blackened sleeves.
Xue Niu'er knelt on the ground: "I know where to eat, let's kowtow a few heads together, and then set up a sign for my parents and the villagers in the whole village, so that I can find this place in the future." ”
After that, the two picked up Li Fu, who was still crying and reluctant to move, and walked towards the forest.
At night, a fire burst out of the silent jungle, and the three of them gobbled up the uncooked local chicken taken out of the fire, it was Xue Niu'er and a few people, and after the three of them were full, they lay on their backs on the ground, watching the faces of the starry family members continue to appear in front of them.
"You say, will we die, what is it like to die, and what will happen after we die," Li Fu's mood calmed down a lot.
Tie Zhu continued: "No, no, it's still alive." ”
"Yes, no, the old saying doesn't say that if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing," Xue Niu'er said angrily.
Suddenly, a voice kept approaching, and there was a burst of heavy breathing. Xue Niu'er got up and quickly grabbed a piece of firewood in the fire: "Quick, go up the tree, there are wolves." ”
While speaking, a huge gray wolf with teeth was less than ten steps away from Xue Niu'er, raised his head and "moo......", startled a bird cry in the woods, and slowly walked in the moonlight Two smaller wolves, three pairs of fierce eyes reflected Xue Niu'er who kept waving with torches, it is the nature of animals to be afraid of fire, but these three wolves did not let Xue Niu'er suppress the momentum with a fire in his hand, but Xue Niu'er always stood by the fire, these are the children in the mountains who have been taught by their parents since childhood.
Xue Niu'er slowly moved two steps forward to force back the wolves, the larger wolf should be the first wolf, and immediately pounced, Xue Niu'er was in a hurry, and quickly retreated two or three steps to the fire, and at the same time the torch in his hand was waved out and hit the head of the head wolf, maybe this small group of wolves was completely enraged, and the three wolves suddenly let out a roar, "Moo...", "Moo...", "Moo..."
"Xue Niu'er, Xue Niu'er, find a way to go up the tree, hurry!"
"Brother Xue, hurry!"
It was Tie Zhu and Li Fu, the two of them had quickly climbed a particularly thick tree next to the fire when Xue Niu'er confronted this small group of wolves.
The three wolves were always facing Xue Niu'er tightly, and it seemed that they were already food for their mouths.
Xue Niu'er couldn't catch the opportunity to climb the tree at all, but the fire of the fire gradually weakened with the consumption of time, "Quick, break the branches on the tree and throw them into the fire," Xue Niu'er's voice revealed a trace of fear.
Li Fu and Tie Zhu broke off the dry branches on the tree and threw them on the fire, although the branches had no green leaves in autumn, they were still alive, and the branches did not improve when they were thrown on the fire, on the contrary, the previous fire was suppressed by these branches.
The three gray wolves were stretching their teeth and claws and wanted to step forward to tear Xue Niu'er, and the three of them were already scared into a cold sweat, especially Xue Niu'er's legs were constantly shaking, and he couldn't move even a step if he wanted to.
Li Fu cried and said, "Are the three of us going to die here today?" As soon as the soles of his feet went limp, he fell from the tree, and a wolf immediately pounced on him.
Boom, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, frightening the wolf that pounced on Li Fu and retreated, I don't know when it started, the sky was already overcast, and the surroundings were already pitch black, and only the hideous faces of the three wolves could be seen through the faint fire, and the huge body also melted into the darkness.
The iron pillar that stayed on the tree said, "Since you are going to die here, let's accompany you." ”
He jumped down from the tree, boom, boom, a thunderclap came from the air, and a bolt of lightning pierced the clouds and struck the tree behind the three men and the two nearby trees, and suddenly a fire broke out, and the whole tree burned, and the three wolves quickly turned around and disappeared into the night.
Xue Niu'er immediately grabbed Li Fu, who was still in a daze of fright, and shouted at Tie Zhu: "Run." ”
The three of them had just run more than ten steps, and a few more lightning bolts struck the place just now, and the entire ground was ablaze.
The sun was high on the mountain, the sky was cloudless, and three tattered-clad and mud-covered children were walking on the muddy sheep farm path, and they could tell from them that there had been a rainstorm last night.
At the intersection with the avenue, Xue Niu'er saw groups of peasants in coarse cloth pudding pushing wheelbarrows, carrying parcels, and occasionally two or three merchants in silk and satin, looking as tired and hungry as Xue Niu'er, walking in the opposite direction of the avenue.
When an old man saw Xue Niu'er and a few people, he shouted weakly: "Child, you can't go to the city now, you have a beard." ”
Tiezhu asked, "What is the beard, why can't you go?" ”
The old man slowly sat down on the side of the road with a wooden stick in his hand, and sighed: "Beard, it's a group of murderous demons." ”
Li Fu asked: "What about the official mansion, why don't you beat your beard." ”
Li Fu had read a few books with his father, and his father also taught him some common sense, unlike Tie Zhu and Xue Niu'er, who stayed in the mountains and didn't understand anything.
The old man sighed again, "The government, alas, the beard is a demon who kills people and sees blood, and the government is the king of Hades who eats people and does not spit out bones!"
"What kind of world is this, the strong and strong are all dragged to be strong men or forcibly conscripted into the army, and those who run away are all going up to the mountains to become bandits, leaving us old, weak, sick and disabled to continue to be oppressed. ”
The old man didn't care if Xue Niu'er could understand or not, he was chattering alone. “
"Where did you come from, why don't you even know the beard, this Lingzhou is the border town of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is also the only way for Xihu to enter the pass, there is war all the year round, if you are here, you should also know," the old man asked when he saw that none of them spoke, and they were all children.
"We are all hunters in the mountains, and there is no information there, so we don't know about these things. ”
The old man said thoughtfully: "That's a paradise!"
The old man still wanted to talk about something, but he saw a crowd of fleeing people in the distance, and a gorgeous carriage slowly came over, and there were more than a dozen guards riding tall horses, wearing red armor and carrying long swords around their waists.
The guard at the head of the row raised his arm slightly, and the whole team stopped, and the guard drove to the carriage, and after saluting with both hands in fists, he whispered a few words, and the curtain on the side of the carriage was opened by the people inside, a woman in the prime of life.
