Chapter 11: The Six Great Clans of the Northern Regions
A footstep sounded, and the startled man stepped forward with some fruit, also with a haggard face and exhausted body and mind.
She was the last woman to lead the horse on this day. She had left from the back mountain with a group of women, old and children, but she was ambushed by the armor soldiers halfway through, and these soldiers apparently received a death order from above, and when they saw the villagers descending the mountain, they rushed up with their own troops. Some villagers who couldn't run were killed on the spot, and they became the soul of the knife. More were chased by people on horseback on the way to escape, and they were pierced from behind, and their deaths were miserable. When the crowd was scattered by the cavalry, the night white clothes suddenly came out of the forest, saved the survivors who could not be counted, and then turned on his horse and rushed up the mountain. As one survivor of the ten, he looked at the mountain of blood and was stunned for a long time, and then turned over and came up the mountain immediately despite the persuasion of the remaining people. One hears the cry, the second sees the river of blood, and the living are in pain in the world.
"I haven't eaten for a day, eat some?" Yin Youcheng handed a fruit to Ye Baiyi's mouth, the latter struggled for a while, and finally squeezed a little strength to sit up straight with the help of Bai Yue'er, and took the fruit and gnawed without a bite.
Stunned also sat next to Ye Baiyi, his hands around his calves, half of his face buried in his knees, his eyes red.
"Sir......"
"Needless to say. Ye Baiyi opened his mouth to interrupt, "Since you can't use the knife, you must have your own difficulties, and when the time comes, let's talk about it." If I had been angry, I would have walked away. There are not so many arbitrary things in this world, you and I are like this, so we can do what we want. Besides, I didn't make it back in time for today's incident, and I am also responsible. ”
After saying that, Ye Baiyi's face was sad, Yin Youcheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled suddenly, got up and said, "It's the same...... Then I'll go and see if there are any wild animals in the mountains, and it's best to catch a few. ”
Bai Yue'er hurriedly got up and said, "Childe, I'll go with you." ”
"You take care of Mr. Li, don't worry, Mr. is still here, I can still run away, then won't I become ungrateful?"
Night Baiyi chuckled: "It's hard to say." ”
"Eh, ......?"
Ye Baiyi waved his hand: "You just let Miss Yue'er go with you, I have a sting to take care of." ”
Yin Youcheng's gaze swept back and forth on Ye Baiyi and the sting, and hesitated: "Okay, little girl, you come with me." ”
Bai Yue'er hurriedly followed.
Only the two of them sat by the fire, Ye Baiyi's spirit recovered a little, and the fruit in his hand was almost gnawed, so he simply threw the core into the fire, looked at the dark and starless sky, and said, "The stinging girl is not a local." ”
The stunned suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Baiyi in surprise, seeing that the latter couldn't cry or laugh: "I guessed right?"
The little girl nodded dumbly.
Ye Baiyi said again: "How can ordinary people in the mountains ride horses, besides, this horse is a war horse in the army, and if the eight-foot man doesn't know the essentials, he has to overturn it to the ground." Not only can you control this girl, but you can also gallop up the mountain on the winding mountain road, if you say that you have never ridden a horse since you were a child, Li must not believe it. But the girl's style is not like the daughter of a family in the city, but a little bit wild and uninhibited in the northwest. ”
The little girl shook her head, and Qi Qiran laughed and said, "I'll praise me as a gentleman." ”
Ye Baiyi said: "So the girl is really from the northwest? The six major clans in the Northern Regions, Beiwu, Xizuo, Yanhan, Luohe, Rouran, which clan does the girl come from? Or is it from the Northland Giant, the Dashuo Dynasty?"
"Rouran. The sting threw himself into his arms, silent.
After a while, he was stunned and timidly asked: "Childe, why do you say they want to kill Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu is so kind, he will also make enemies in the rivers and lakes? Even if he is an enemy, why do these people even kill everyone who has seen him? Childe, do you say that Mr. Liu is a bad person?"
Ye Baiyi heard the last cry of the stunned sting, sighed, and said, "How can you tell the difference between good and bad like this, do you think I'm a good person?"
Stunned thought for a moment and nodded.
"What about Young Master Yin?"
The stunned thought about it again, but did not speak.
"What about the Yue'er girl? What about Zhao Guting, who is willing to pay for a hundred miles of village in order to save a Mr. Liu?"
The little girl was no longer embarrassed by the white clothes of the night, and took the initiative to reach out and add a few sticks of firewood to the fire.
"That's it, I've killed so many people today, and I'm riddled with karma. The avenue is ruthless, and the world is full of clouds. There is no right or wrong in this world, and you can't be so careful, and the grievances of the rivers and lakes are not like this. How can there be a clean person in the world, haven't you killed a few chickens, and slandered those villagers who have spoken ill of you behind your back. Everything can be done in the end to be worthy of the heart, where is right and wrong, if this is the case, then this river and lake might as well be beaten to death with a stick, and the world is pure. ”
The sting kept his head in his lap and stared at the flickering flames without saying a word.
Ye Baiyi asked, "Do you have any other family members in Baili Village besides Uncle Zhao?"
He choked up and said: "It's all gone, after Houshan Chunsheng has a few babies, I won't see them again, my sister and Brother Qiuyu Zhao are also dead, all dead." ”
Ye Baiyi gently patted the back of the stunned sting: "Where is Rouran?"
Shocking didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Childe, what did you just say, what should you do to Rouran?"
"Of course so, Da Chu is like this, Da Shuo is like this, the world is like this, how can there be a high level of rules in the rivers and lakes?"
He paused and said, "I don't know. Ten years ago, the state of Chu was newly established, the king of Qin suddenly entered the north, the six major clans in the northern region bear the brunt of our Rouran, the king of Rouran led the army to resist desperately, and the 20,000 troops temporarily formed in the southern defense line were killed by the king of Qin in less than three days, and the king finally committed suicide and martyrdom. My family took refuge in the south, and in the end my brother and I were the only ones left alive. On the way, I was separated from my brother again, and I fainted from hunger on the road, and I was ...... by my father That is, Uncle Zhao rescued me, and the day he saved me happened to be a sting, and I simply called it a sting. I've lived with them for years since. Now there is only one brother left in the family, and his life and death are uncertain, thinking that if he is alive, he should return to Rouran now. ”
Night Baiyi glanced at the stunned, the little girl was unexpectedly calm when talking about these past events, as if she had already cried all the tears that should be cried, and now she was only sad when she talked about it.
"Why don't you flee north?"
He shook his head in shock: "Although the six major clans in the Northern Regions are said to have the same origin, they are the same after separation. We only have the share of slaves when we go north, and life is better than death.
