Chapter Forty-Seven: Life and Death Survive
The Tiger Leaping Gorge is actually very long, so long that Hou Ping'an and they even had lunch on the way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
With such a long and narrow passage, it is no wonder that the Great Zhou army of that year would suffer heavy losses here. This kind of terrain similar to a line of sky, if it were in the territory of the Great Zhou, it would definitely be heavily guarded, but now here, there is not even a single figure to be seen.
"You don't know, the tiger of our leader is much bigger than the little white you raised, and it is about the same height as me when it lies there, I heard that when the leader went into the mountains to hunt, the tiger killed a wolf pack with a wolf king......"
Ah Hua was still chattering, completely ignoring whether Hou Ping'an was listening or not, as if they hadn't spoken to anyone for decades, and wanted to finish it all at once.
Regarding the moisture in her words, Hou Ping'an did not comment. At this time, he actually knew his position, that is, a listener. Listening to Ah Hua, she didn't know what she was talking about.
The wind gradually picked up in the narrow passage, and the remaining dead branches and broken leaves on the riverbed began to dance with the wind.
When Hou Ping'an and the others looked for a touch of green, they finally crossed the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
"Here it is, you see, that's my tribe......"
Before the little girl could finish her words, she ran out.
Because under that emerald green, there was billowing smoke and a remnant. The thick smell of blood permeated the air, like a viscous liquid, clinging to the human sense of smell.
A ruined wooden house, a broken blade, and a corpse on the ground.
No wailing, no cries for help.
This is a catastrophe, a catastrophe that cannot be recovered. If he could, Hou Ping'an didn't want such a disaster to happen, for a person like him who grew up under the red flag, the cruelty of this kind of war was unimaginable.
Even if you can imagine it, you can't empathize.
Qin Hao and the brothers of the Yue family both had difficult faces. Although several people have seen dead people, this is the first time that it feels like hell like this.
This kind of situation, which is similar to a qualitative change caused by a quantitative change, makes them all uncomfortable. Yue Xiong had even covered his mouth and felt like vomiting.
The wind blew quietly by, bringing the shouts of Ah Hua in the distance. She was looking for her people, and even though she knew there was no hope, she didn't want to give up.
Hou Ping'an walked along the path, walked to Ah Hua's side, patted her shoulder gently, and said a few pale words of comfort.
He didn't know if the girl he met for the first time today would survive this difficulty, but he hoped that she would. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death, and those who are alive must continue to live.
Ah Hua searched the entire village, but found no living person. She curled up, trying to give herself a little strength. But the invasion of grief could only make her tremble.
No matter how the people of this tribe don't treat her, no matter how children of the same age have bullied her, this is her tribe after all, her people, and the place where she has lived for more than ten years.
Hou Ping'an looked at this small tribe carefully, wanting to find some clues from it, he wanted to know what happened to this tiger tribe to become what it is now.
The fire had not yet been completely extinguished, and the corpses had not begun to stink. Then this war should have taken place between yesterday and this morning. It's a pity that Hou Ping'an won't do that, and he can't accurately determine the time of death of these people.
estimated the number of deaths, which was similar to what Ah Hua had just told them. That is, the tiger clan was exterminated.
This is not a simple war that can be done, at least the other side must be several times larger than the Tiger Clan in numbers to be possible.
And this possibility must also be established in the case of a sneak attack, otherwise it is almost impossible to achieve the extermination of the clan.
There were a few naked but unusually strong ones among the corpses, and these should be the high-ranking members of the Tiger Clan. It was probably stripped after he was killed. It's just the tiger that Ah Hua once said?
Why didn't you even see a tiger, could it be that the tiger had defected?
Hou Ping'an thought about it and felt that it should be impossible for all the tigers to rebel, after all, an animal like this raised since childhood, no matter how ferocious the personality is, should have feelings for the owner.
Could it be that Ah Hua just said a lie?
But if she was lying, then what was her purpose?
There were too few clues, and Hou Ping'an couldn't judge, so he could only give the other people a look that everyone understood and be vigilant.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang were still standing in the distance, and they had not entered the village, and the two of them had been a little abnormal since just now. At first, Hou Ping'an thought that they were reluctant to enter the village because of the breath of the tiger.
But at this time, Hou Ping'an felt that it was impossible.
Let's not talk about how smart Xiaohuang is, Xiaobai is not stupid. What's more, when he was in Tianxing Valley, Xiaobai was never afraid of natural enemies such as tigers and leopards. Sometimes they even run after those predators.
It must have been the two of them who found something.
"Ah Hu, can you ask Xiao Huang what he found?"
When Ah Hu heard this, he didn't react a little.
"Xiao Huang is not a human being, why do you ask?"
"When you were in Qilin Cliff, couldn't you ask Xiao Huang about Qilin Grass?"
"It's a game between me and it, I give it something, and he goes to find it, and it's a reference, which I trained to collect medicine. You're making me have no brains to ask now......"
Well, it seems that monkeys are just monkeys after all, and it is still impossible to communicate with people in the same way.
Although he couldn't communicate like a human, seeing Xiao Huang who was constantly "squeaking" on Xiaobai's back, Ah Hu still walked over.
When it rains, the fish in the river will surface, and when the water is going to be heavy, the ants will move in advance.
This kind of animal sixth sense, the instinctive response to danger is incomparable to many humans.
Although Ah Hu didn't know what Xiao Huang wanted to express, he was still very sure that there was danger.
In fact, it's not just Xiao Huang who feels dangerous, but Xiao Bai is also like this. When Hou Ping'an walked out of the Tiger Village, it ran over, biting the corner of Hou Ping'an's clothes, and kept retreating.
This is a game between them, when it encounters the prey that Xiaobai couldn't beat at the beginning, it will bite the corner of Hou Ping'an's clothes and retreat as it is now.
Therefore, almost at the same time, Hou Ping'an and Ah Hu both spoke.
"Danger, get out quickly!"
But it was still late, and as soon as their reminder came out, the door of a wooden house was opened, and a lean old man came out.
A real old man looks like he's going to die at any moment. But his muscles, which were not covered by his clothes, were full of explosive power.
This is a very contradictory existence, this old man who has half of his body buried in the loess, but he seems to be able to lift a thousand catties of giant ding.
