Chapter 160: The Death of the Homeland
That night, Shaoyuan had a dream that he returned to the village, and the master was still there, teaching a group of children at home, chanting 'Zhihu is also'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe big yellow dog in the east of the village has eight cubs in one birth, and the big cow brother has been discharged from the army and returned home with a daughter-in-law. Left and right, uncles and aunts are all there. Walking in his own village, all the neighbors will send him greetings, "Shaoyuan, you're back", "Isn't the south very prosperous?"
Returning to his familiar home, he pushed the door in, and the master said with a straight face, "Do you still know how to come back?" ā
At that moment, being called by this familiar master, Shaoyuan couldn't help but burst into tears, the master was his closest person in this world, since the master went west, he went away from home, and he missed it more and more.
Shaoyuan immediately returned to his position, and then began to look for his own books, but his place was empty, there was nothing, and the master only maintained the last expression of a straight face, and no longer spoke. Shaoyuan began to get anxious and began to desperately find .......
"Official, official" Xiao Yue, who woke up, looked at the bed and said in her dreams, frowning, and couldn't help but be startled, so she began to arouse Shaoyuan. Seeing that Shaoyuan still didn't wake up, Xiaoyue really shook Shaoyuan hard for the first time.
And this force also pulled Shao Yuan back from the dream, and under the momentum, Shao Yuan woke up from the dream, and his back was already wet at this time. Feeling tired all over, it seemed that something had happened, and before he could react, suddenly Xiao Yue pounced and crashed into Shao Yuan's arms, "I just scared Xiao Yue to death, official"
Shao Yuan stroked Xiao Yue's back, "What's wrong?" So Xiao Yue told Shao Yuan what he saw from beginning to end.
After Shaoyuan heard this, Yang Yang said, "Alas, it's a dream after all, the master has already gone west, how can he teach me again?"
Xiao Yue looked at Shaoyuan's face suddenly deteriorated, and it was estimated that something had happened in a dream, so she asked, "Did the official dream of something?"
Shaoyuan didn't speak, just shook his head slightly, and then stood up, "Come on Xiaoyue, get ready, let's set off back to the village in a while, seeing that the village is already close in front of us, I still want to go back early." ā
The early morning in Liangzhou was very cool, and the people who were rushing late at night were still immersed in sleep, and after Shaoyuan and Xiaoyue left a letter, they quietly went out and drove a carriage out of the north gate of the small county town leisurely, and went to the village on the edge of the Great Wall.
On the carriage, Xiaoyue looked at the surrounding scenery, although it was also the foot of Qilian Mountain, but the river came here at the end, there was no green trees, here is the grass and the grass is fertile. Xiao Yue asked curiously, "Official, what kind of village do you look like?"
Shaoyuan drove the carriage and recalled that he left that day, "It's just an ordinary small village, a very common village in the northwest, it's not far west here, Xiaoyue, you will see it later."
There are three villages in the north of Xiutu, and near the Great Wall thirty miles away from the city of Xiutu is Shaoyuan's village, but Shaoyuan found that the situation is not quite right, in addition to a large village in the north of the city of Xiutu more than ten miles away, further north it is a little sparsely populated, not like there is a settlement in the north.
Shaoyuan couldn't help urging the carriage to move forward, vaguely, he was afraid of a thought in his heart, why did the villagers he saw yesterday appear in a dream for no reason, it must be that he was homesick. The speed of the carriage is getting faster and faster, just as Shao Yuan thought in his heart.
Looking at the Great Wall further north, it is now a ruined wall.
Shaoyuan's carriage stopped on the ruins, the stunned Shaoyuan on the seat of the car, Xiaoyue poked his head out of the car, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the ruins in front of him, he was sensitive and immediately realized the situation, and was about to grab Shaoyuan, but where would Shaoyuan be the opponent of Shaoyuan with strong martial arts.
Shao Yuan had already dropped the carriage at this moment, and ran into the ruins with an arrow, shouting incessantly, "What happened!
Xiao Yue also hurriedly got out of the carriage and caught up with Shao Yuan, but after Shao Yuan fell into madness, how could Xiao Yue be able to catch up with his speed and physical strength. But Xiao Yue didn't give up, and just followed not far behind.
Shaoyuan ran to the vicinity of his old residence, and the fire burned all the houses to the gray and black frames, and he did not see that this was once a small border village where many people lived.
In the old residence, only a piece of ashes remained, Shaoyuan ignored the danger, walked into the old residence, but saw that the old residence was empty, except for some broken walls, there was nothing left. Shao Yuan rummaged around the house, but he didn't find it at all. Looking up, in fact, not only Shaoyuan's family, but also the other homes were empty.
'Desperate move!' Shao Yuan reacted first, and then remembered something in a trance, so he ran to the west of the village completely ignoring Xiao Yue, who was following behind.
I saw that the west of the village was in a mess, and I saw countless white bones lying here, and the west of the village was the burial place of this village, but I saw that the white bones were full of white bones and the ground was hollow. These people who slaughtered the village did not even let go of the people who went into the soil for peace, and planned to dig up the burial goods? Master!
When Shaoyuan thought of this, his legs were weak, he sat down and looked at the sky, and cried bitterly, at this moment he felt the grief of his hometown being destroyed and being homeless for the first time, but he missed it for many days. A thousand threads finally crushed Shaoyuan's last line of defense, and tears flowed down in large drops.
The heart-rending cry gave Xiao Yue the direction of progress, Xiao Yue went to the west of the village, at first glance I almost fainted with fright, why are there so many white bones, but I can also see that the official who once thought it was indestructible is crying bitterly in the face of white bones at this moment. She didn't care so much, controlled the fear in her heart, ran to Shaoyuan's side, and didn't say anything, but simply hugged Shaoyuan tightly.
Shaoyuan opened his eyes and saw Xiao Yue, and just said bitterly, "Xiao Yue, my home, my neighbors, and even Master's grave, all, all ......"
Xiao Yue hugged Shaoyuan, "Official, I saw it, Xiao Yue saw it, I know that the official is in pain, but the official doesn't have to be afraid, and Xiao Yue is here to accompany you, Xiao Yue is the official's wife, Xiao Yue will always accompany the official, we are not homeless, we still have a home"
Venting his emotions, Shaoyuan hugged Xiaoyue tightly at the moment, and alleviated the pain in his heart through tears.
An hour later, Shaoyuan sat in the carriage, his spirit was still a little trance, Xiao Yue also sighed, the officials returned to their hometowns after all their efforts, but they saw such a scene,......ć
Suddenly, outside the carriage, a shout sounded, "Shaoyuan, Miss Xiaoyue, is it you?" was Dugulin's voice.
Xiao Yue replied, "Yes, Dugu Hall Master, please come in."
After a while, Dugu Lin poked his head in, along with the prince and the princess.
The prince was surprised and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with my senior brother?"
Dugu Lin and the princess didn't say anything, but waited for Xiaoyue's answer.
Xiao Yue shook her head, gently led a few people out of the carriage, and then said what Shicai had seen and heard in such a sad tone. "This morning, the official got up early and came to the village with his concubine, but when he arrived at the village, the village was already a ruin, there was nothing left in the village, and even the cemetery in the west of the village was turned up, the method was extremely cruel, the official grew up here, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, so the spirit was a little trance."
The prince said angrily, "Being at the border, it must be done by a horse thief alien race, so cruel and inhumane, it is really intolerable!"
Dugu Lin frowned, "The slaughter of the village and the extermination of the clan is such a big event, there must be records in the county government, how many clues are left here at the moment, it is not clear, His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess, please go back immediately, I will stay here alone to check it first, Miss Xiaoyue, please go back, first notify the county magistrate to prepare the county chronicles, there must be a record, His Royal Highness the Prince's travel may have been known by the King of the City, so His Royal Highness the Prince may have to return to Wuwei at any time, and the county chronicles can be checked by Pan Gongzi, Pan Gongzi is still in the county at the moment"
The princess looked at the carriage worriedly, "I thought that the senior brother might tell us some interesting stories, alas, now I can only hope that the senior brother will recover as soon as possible"
Everyone arrived with joy, but looking at the ruins in front of them, they could only sigh silently in their hearts.
