379. The selfishness of the human heart
When Du Bu and Xian'er rushed back to the house, Luo Qin and the old woman were already gone.
So the two of them continued to go to the Eight Divisions City.
When it was dark, I finally arrived at the gate of Basi City, and then found that Basi City was actually a desolate state at this time, the city gate had already been dilapidated, and the palaces inside had already collapsed, and it seemed that five people had lived in it for several years.
So Du Bu Bu and Xian'er went together, and took advantage of the night to find a nearby farmhouse, planning to stay temporarily.
After entering the house and inquiring, I learned that this farmer is a couple who are nearly forty years old, the male Shen is a farmer, and the female is called Zhou Yuhua.
Du Bu didn't forget to see Xian'er go to do needlework with Zhou Yuhua, so he chatted with Shen Minong.
I just heard Du not forget to ask:
"Brother Shen, do you know what happened in the Eight Divisions?"
Shen Minong didn't answer, but asked with a nervous expression:
"Brother Du, did you come to Basi City to find those eight demon kings?"
Du didn't forget to look at Shen Congnong's expression as if he was also very afraid of the eight times, so he replied:
"Yes, but I'm here to trouble them!"
Shen Nong said:
"That boy, you have to be careful, those eight demons are very bad!"
Then he talked about the destruction of the Eight Divisions.
It was originally from Du Buyi and Wang Yangming after the Bada Zhai Rebellion was quelled that year, because Baban was the snobbery of taking refuge in Bada Zhai and opposing the Ming army, so after the Ming army completely surrendered Badazhai, the state army immediately freed up its hands to start cleaning up the Ba Fan.
Even if the martial arts of the eight are high, where can the enemy beat the thousands of troops and horses of the government, so it didn't take long for the eight villages to be captured by the officers and soldiers, and the eight masters have disappeared since then.
Unexpectedly, three years ago, the eight masters suddenly came back, and when they saw the ruined Basi City, they didn't want to live anymore, but rebuilt the Basi City in a secret place, and no one knows where it is!
Du did not forget to ask again:
"Then have you guys been missing a lot of women in the neighborhood lately?"
Shen Minong replied:
"Yes, I heard that these were all done by the eight demon kings, so in the past few years, the women of the common people in our neighborhood have almost married before the age of ten, and they are afraid of the scourge of the eight demons, but at the beginning, the eight demons only caught women who had not left the pavilion, and now even the younger women have begun to arrest!"
Du did not forget to clench his fists and said:
"It seems that these eight demons are really harming one party, and I must not let them go!"
At this time, Xian'er came out with a shirt and compared it with Du Buzhi, and said:
"Brother Du, how do you look at this dress, I just sewed it for you!"
Zhou Yuhua also came out and said to Du Yi:
"Du Gongzi, your lady is really beautiful and capable, I gave her a piece of cloth, and she was able to sew a dress for you in just a few efforts!"
Du did not forget to smile and replied:
"yes!"
Then he handed the clothes back to Xian'er and said:
"I'll wear it tomorrow, Xian'er, you go out for a walk with me first!"
Then he said hello to Shen Minong and Zhou Yuhua, and the two went out holding hands.
After walking a few steps, Xian'er asked:
"Brother Du, it's getting late, what are you pulling me out for?"
Du did not forget to sigh and said:
"I feel like I've been so stressed lately, but I don't know how to vent!"
Xian'er smiled and said:
"Wouldn't it be okay if we had a good night?"
Du Bu didn't forget to smile bitterly and said:
"People are serious!"
Xian'er replied:
"Okay, Brother Du, what do you say!"
Du did not forget and said:
"I originally thought that going to Yunnan this time was a very simple thing, but I didn't expect to encounter so many twists and turns along the way, and now the enemies we encounter seem to make me feel terrible, I have never been afraid of anything before!"
Xian'er said:
"I don't think it's anything, as long as we don't mix this matter, it should be fine, but if you want to mix, I can only accompany you!"
Du did not forget and said:
"Actually, I don't want to get involved in these things anymore, but it's so uncomfortable to watch these people in distress in my heart, I can't turn a blind eye at all!"
Xian'er smiled and said:
"Brother Du, I understand you, after all, this is your heart, otherwise how could you be called Du Daxia!"
Du Buyi smiled bitterly again and said:
"I don't want to be this hero, I just want to do what I think I should do!"
Xian'er replied:
"That's right, isn't what you want to do is what a hero wants to do? In this case, don't think about it, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will definitely be by your side!"
Du did not forget to hug Xian'er and said:
"Xian'er didn't expect that at this time, I found out that the person who knew me best was you!"
Xian'er smiled and said:
"The person who knows you best is Sister Feng'er, okay, I'll forget it!"
Du Buyi sighed and said:
"Then I know what to do, thank you Xian'er for enlightening me!"
Xian'er said:
"Then you'll have to make it up to me tonight?"
The two of them leaned directly under the big tree and kissed at this time, and after a while, they rolled to the ground.
The next day, after the two got up, they said goodbye to Shen Minong and his wife, and continued to search for the whereabouts of the eight masters.
Until they were in a forest, they suddenly heard the voice of a woman not far away, and the two of them hurriedly ran over.
At this time, I saw that Cheng Huan, the master of the seventh period, was forcibly pressing a woman on the ground, tearing her clothes, the woman kept struggling and screaming, as if the louder the voice, the happier Cheng Huan became, and the two attendants who were holding the wind next to him were also whispering.
Du Buyi first rushed up and shouted at Cheng Huan:
"You beast, you are actually a woman here!"
Cheng Huan turned around and saw that the person in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, and suddenly remembered, and then after letting go of the woman, he got up and said to Du Yifu:
"Who am I, it turned out to be Du Gongzi, why didn't I see Xian'er?"
At this time, Xian'er also came over and said to Cheng Huan:
"Uncle Seven, long time no see!"
Cheng Huan looked at Du Yiyi's expression and said to Xian'er:
"Xian'er, your husband seems to be a little disrespectful to Uncle Seven?"
Du did not forget and said directly:
"You don't have to climb the relationship here, I will definitely not let you go today!"
Then he used his palm power to hit Cheng Huan, Chen Huan hurriedly dodged away, and shouted to the two attendants who were still whispering on the side:
"Don't you know that the enemy is coming?
Then the three of them quickly fought with Du Buyi, and when Xian'er saw this, she also came over to help Du Buyi.
Cheng Huan saw that Xian'er was shooting at him, so he said:
"Xian'er, have you forgotten the kindness of your uncles to you before?"
Xian'er replied:
"I'm sorry, Du Gongzi is my most important person, I only have to offend a few uncles!"
Cheng Huan said:
"Okay, you ungrateful fairy, don't blame Uncle Seventh for being unkind to you!"
Cheng Huan immediately took out a thin golden wing net from his arms, and then threw it at the two of them.
Xian'er said to Du Yiyi:
"Brother Du, be careful!"
Then he pushed Du out and was caught in the net.
When Du didn't forget to turn around to save Xian'er, he found that a few people had disappeared, so the woman could only hold her body just now, squatting on the ground and trembling.
Du did not forget to chase around for a long time, but he didn't see a few people, so he had to return, walked to the woman's side and asked:
"Girl, are you alright?"
The woman replied:
"I ...... I...... I'm afraid!"
Du did not forget and said:
"Now that you're safe, go home by yourself, and I'm going to save people!"
Woman says:
"I ...... I don't dare to go back, if I do, it will affect my family!"
Du did not forget to ask:
"Why do you say that?"
Woman says:
"Because the demon king just now...... No...... It's an animal, it has killed several families in our neighborhood, and my father and mother were worried that I would be fine, so they told me not to go home, but I was caught by this animal while hiding outside!"
After Du Bu Bu directly helped the woman up and comforted her, he said:
"What's your name, girl?"
The woman replied:
"My name is Luo Xi!"
Du did not forget to say:
"That's a nice name, in that case, tell me where your house is? I'll go home with you, I won't forget that they don't dare to touch your family!"
Luo Xi asked:
"Is it true?"
Du Cheng said:
"Of course, otherwise how could they have taken the opportunity to rob my friend and run away just now!"
Luo Xi replied:
"Yes, then I'll believe you!"
Then his clothes were a little messy, so he quickly turned around and tidied them up.
The two of them were walking on the road, and Luo Xi suddenly asked:
"Brother Du, can I call you that?"
Du did not forget to reply:
"You can call it whatever you want!"
At this time, Luo Xi asked with a slight smile:
"Brother Du, can I ask you a question?"
Du did not forget to say:
"Just ask!"
Luo Xi asked:
"I heard you just say that girl is your friend, isn't she your wife?"
Du did not forget to reply:
"I don't have a lady now, but I don't need the title of lady between me and her!"
Luo Xi says:
"That's it!"
After a while, the two walked to the door of a large wooden house, and then Luo Xi knocked on the door and called a few words, "Dad...... Mother, I'm back!" But there was no movement inside.
Du didn't forget to see that Luo Xi kept screaming, so he said:
"Stop screaming, it looks like there's no one in your house!"
Luo Xi replied:
"No, my dad doesn't usually go out!"
Then he screamed again.
Seeing this, Du Bu didn't forget to kick the door open directly, and then pulled Luo Xi into the house.
As a result, after looking around the room, Du Buyi found someone hiding under the bed in the room, so he said:
"No need to hide, I'm not a bad person, you don't have to be afraid!"
Du did not forget to see that he didn't dare to come out under the bed, so he said:
"I know you're afraid of death, but you don't need to do this, don't you even care about your own daughter?"
After Luo Xi persuaded a few more times, a middle-aged couple and a little boy finally came out under the bed.
After one of the women came out, she questioned Luo Xi:
"Didn't I tell you not to come back and trouble us? What are you doing here? Do you want to kill us?"
Luo Xi was a little scared and pointed at Du Chuan and said:
"Mother, it's this Du Gongzi who insists on bringing me back!"
The woman said:
"Then you can ignore the life and death of your father and mother and your brother? I would have let you marry a long time ago, but if you don't marry, now you are the evil spirit of our family, do you know?"
The woman seemed to be very angry as she spoke, and she didn't know where to take a whip, and she whipped it directly at Luo Xi, and Du Ji couldn't bear it anymore when she saw this, so she snatched the whip from the woman's hand and said:
"Are you enough? She's your own daughter, are you doing so ruthlessly?"
The man then said:
"My daughter was originally raised for others, and she is no longer our family, why should you be an outsider to care about our family's affairs?"
Du did not forget to ask:
"You just said that Luo Xi is not your family?"
The man replied:
"Yes!"
Du did not forget to pull up Luo Xi and said:
"Then I'll take him away!"
The woman said,
"Then you take her away quickly, she is a broom star now, we have never given birth to such a daughter!"
