Angelica

I am a corpse hunter, and the person I want to send home this time is a little different.
The famous Bai Qi general's fiancée is actually here.
There is no good spot on her body. Words like "bitch" and "whore" are written all over her body. The handwriting is crooked, as if someone had carved it with a knife.

Ding——

"Those whose names are called, come and assemble in front of me, Li Si, Zhou Wu..."

I am a corpse hunter , and I came to Yandang Mountain today to collect the corpses.

Yandang Mountain was originally a beautiful valley, but now it has become a mass grave. Qi and Lu fought, and Qi's won a great victory. Lu's killed all Qi's prisoners of war in a rage and threw their bodies here.

As the bell rang, the lifeless mass grave gradually began to squirm. Most of the corpses just climbed forward feebly for a few times, then lowered their hands and stopped moving. However, four corpses staggered. He stood up and came towards me.

"Zhou Wu?"

"Here!" It was a man in his twenties, with more than a dozen bloody holes in his chest.

"Wang Cong?"

"Here we are!" He was a bit petite, no taller than Zhou Wu's shoulders, and his face could no longer be called a face. It was as if he had been thrown into a fire, burned and then pulled out. His whole body was burnt. Like a lump of charcoal.

"Li Si?" I glanced at the little bean sprout in front of me uncertainly. He was too short. He was not as tall as Wang Cong. He barely reached Zhou Wu's waist. He was not so much a soldier as he was. Home children.

His dark face still had some baby fat, his teeth were knocked out and were uneven, and his mouth was filled with blood when he smiled: "Here we go!"

A spear pinned him and another little bean sprout together.

I pointed at the person behind him, and Li Si said with a leaky mouth: "This is from our same village, his name is Qian Jiu. Miss, can you be kind and take him with you? It won't take much effort on your part." "

"Qian Jiu?" I called his name.

The bean sprout behind Li Si opened his eyes. When he opened his eyelids, I discovered that there were no eyeballs in the eye sockets, and there were only two blood holes left.

Qian Jiu gestured "Ah, ah, ah, ah" helplessly. Only then did I see this mouth. Not only the eyes, but also the tongue had been pulled out.

Li Si turned around and shook his struggling hand with great effort, and said comfortingly: "Qian Jiu, Qian Jiu, I am Li Si, don't be afraid."

The thin boy with yellow skin actually became quiet when he heard Li Si's voice. Li Si glanced at me and said: "Qian Jiu, this girl is taking us home, don't worry."

Then the young man named Qian Jiu turned his head in my direction, staring at the two bloody holes with great effort The ground bent over.

Zhou Wu saw tears streaming down his face, turned around and spat on the ground next to him, and cursed viciously: "Fuck you damn King Lu, this is a child, they are still a child, how could they do this so cruelly?" Hands!"

I couldn't bear to look away, but Wang Cong looked over with his dark eyes and turned away calmly.

I counted the number of people, and there was still one person missing, so I rang the bell and shouted into the pit: "Mu Yan? Mu Yan!"

Among the corpses, one arm was raised in a "shutting" way, Then a thin female voice floated over: "Girl, I'm here!"

I folded my arms and waited for her for a long time, but she didn't come up, so I asked her again why she didn't come up.

The woman's voice hesitated for a long time and said: "Girl, can you find me a robe? I, I have no clothes."

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, there are no extra clothes on the body.

Wang Cong picked up a torn flag from the ground and asked me if this was okay?

I measured it on my body and said it should be fine, so I slipped down a slope.

Mu Yan stretched out a snow-white arm from the group of corpses, pulled the cloth in, hid in the group of corpses and put it on, then pushed aside the group of corpses and slowly poked his head out.

She should have been a beautiful woman, if you ignore the bleeding teeth marks on her face and the bitten flesh on her left cheek.

She crawled out from the group of corpses. Seeing me staring at her face without blinking, she stretched out her hand to cover her face in embarrassment and lowered her head. When I lowered my head, I saw the tattoos on the back of her neck. Words like "bitch", "slut" and "whore" were written all over them one by one. The handwriting looked crooked as if someone had carved it with a knife.

I took a breath and couldn't imagine what she had gone through during her lifetime. The cloth could only cover her thighs, so I took off a piece of clothing from a dead person on the ground and handed it to her. She looked at it gratefully. I took one look and quickly put it on.

With great difficulty, we finally climbed up. The groups of corpses seemed to sense that I was leaving, and began to twitch and squirm again. Earth-shaking cries came like a tide.

"Girl, please take me away too. I want to go home, girl."

"Girl, please be kind and take me for a ride, please."

"Girl..."

"Girl... …”

…

The sky-wide crying sound made people’s eardrums hurt. I rang the bell and loudly comforted them: “Don’t worry, everyone, after I send them back to their hometown, they will definitely come back.”

The crying did not stop. It didn't stop, and several corpses were even staggering and struggling to get up.

is not good!

I thought to myself, there are so many people here, and they have accumulated so much resentment. If one of them becomes a zombie, then tens of millions of people will turn into corpses.

I immediately took out the sword I carried with me and cut my finger, sprinkled a few drops of blood into the mass grave, and swore to the sky: "I, Xiao Man, swear here, no matter how much time it takes, I will escort you all home without missing a beat." , If there is any violation, the sky will strike with lightning."

The rising tide of corpses finally calmed down, and those people lay straight on the ground like fish that had been drained of water.

On the way, Li Si suddenly asked me, "Girl, have we all won?"

I glanced back at him and said I won.

Li Si grinned and gave Qian Jiu a high-five behind him, and said, "Qian Jiu, did you hear that? We won, that's great!"

The young man behind him grinned. Also cheered.

Zhou Wuhei had a calm face, glanced at the two men, and sneered: "What's there to be happy about? So what if we win or lose, we're not all dead."

Li Si's plump face Turning to Zhou Wu, he smiled and said, "Brother, you don't know, I have an eight-year-old brother at home. If Qi is defeated this time, there will be another conscription, and my brother's life will be at risk."

He looked very happy after he finished speaking, and even walked much more briskly.

Zhou Wu was startled by these words. He looked at Li Si's young appearance, cleared his throat and asked how old you are.

"I am twelve." He pointed at Qian Jiu, who was strung on the same stick behind him: "He is one year younger than me, he is eleven."

I couldn't help but turn around and look at them two more times. , asked in surprise: "You two haven't reached the age of conscription yet?"

Li Si shrugged and said in a casual tone: "There are no adult men in our village. They all died when they went to the battlefield. When the officials came to recruit soldiers, they said it was , and above should all go."

"Those idiots!" Zhou Wu clenched his fists and cursed fiercely. For some reason, he glared at Mu Yan, who had been following the team. .

I followed his gaze and saw that Mu Yan’s head could no longer be lowered.

Wang Cong also noticed it, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Wu and asked him what was wrong.

Zhou Wu gritted his teeth and pointed at Mu Yan, smiling: "You don't know who she is?"

Mu Yan's eyes widened in horror, and his lips trembled as he begged: "No, I, please..."

Zhou Wu saw her look like this, and the malice on his face became even stronger. He pulled her body in front of him and said to everyone word by word: "She is the famous Bai Qi, the fiancée of General Bai." , the daughter of the prime minister of our dynasty, she is a noble lady."

As soon as the name "Bai Qi" came out, even I couldn't help but look at Mu Yan.

There is no other reason. The reason why Lu State brutally killed Qi prisoners of war so cruelly was because Bai Qi of Qi State killed one hundred thousand soldiers of Lu State, so the root cause is still here.

Mu Yan’s body shook like a sieve.

Li Si and Qian Jiu didn't know why, so they both opened their eyes and asked Zhou Wu, "Who is Bai Qi?"

Zhou Wu pulled Mu Yan's hair, forced her to raise her face, and exposed the scar in front of everyone, saying: "Bai Qi is the general of our Qi State. If he wins this battle, he will probably be granted the title of Hou from now on. I wonder if he still remembers having a fiancée like you?"

Zhou Wu reached out and brushed Mu Mu's hand gently. With the scar on his face, Yan Yan spoke with malice: "If he knew that his fiancée had become a military prostitute in the Lu country, where thousands of people rode and slept with thousands of people, would he feel distressed?"

Mu Yan closed his eyes in despair. , hot tears flowed down her trembling eyelids, across the scars on her face, and disappeared into the soil drop by drop, but she did not dare to cry out, her mouth was pursed tightly, and only her body was caught by Zhou Wu. His hands were shaking.

Everyone stopped talking, and four or five pairs of eyes just looked at her quietly, as if they wanted to hear what she had to say in defense.

"That's enough!" I couldn't stand it anymore, so I stepped forward and knocked off Zhou Wu's hand, protected Mu Yan behind him, and looked at him coldly: "Why don't you kill a few enemies on the battlefield if you are so capable? What's the point of bullying a weak woman!"

Mu Yan just grabbed my arm and hid behind me.

Zhou Wu’s eye circles turned red instantly. He looked at me with a fierce and aggrieved expression on his face.

He grabbed Zhao Si next to him and yelled at Mu Yan and me: "Look at him, look at them. They are only eleven or twelve years old. Their eyes were gouged out and their tongues were cut out by the Lu people. They are only ten years old." Two years old! Still a half-grown child! "

"And this" He pointed at Wang Cong, tears welling up from his eyes: "Do you know how he died? Do you know what torture is? He He was thrown into the fire, and the skin all over his body was burned. Then he was taken out and poured a bucket of cold water on it, and then he was thrown into the fire until his last breath."

Wang Cong just lowered his head slightly. It's like telling someone else's story.

"And me!" He pointed at the dozen bloody holes on his chest, reached out to cover his eyes and suddenly couldn't speak any more.

His legs went limp and he slumped to the ground. He opened his mouth like a child and cried in grievance. He said, "Girl, we could have survived. We didn't have to die." ! The people of Lu said that they were willing to exchange us for half of the prisoners of war, or even one third. It was her, her fiancé, Bai Qi! He refused and said that he would not let any of them back. He would kill all of them first. The prisoners of war, the State of Lu tortured us to vent their anger."

Zhao Si and Qian Jiu also began to cry.

Zhou Wu looked at me with red eyes and smashed his hands on the ground: "Do you think I am venting my anger for myself? I am dissatisfied for those who were tortured and killed! Why, why are we born low and our lives are like grass? If you give up, you will be given up. When the country is in trouble, we stand up. When we go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I never think about the way out. There is no time when I don’t fight for my life, and no time when I am not covered with injuries. I don’t complain. I don’t Dare you complain at all, but why do we still have to die even though we have won the battle? Why, girl, tell me why, what the hell is this!"

Everyone shed tears again, Even Wang Cong, who had always been calm, had red eyes.

Mu Yan, who was hiding behind me, whispered sorry.

Zhou Wu turned his head, wiped the tears from his face, and said stubbornly: "You have nothing to be sorry for, after all, you..."

He couldn't say the next words. After a moment of pause, he He raised his head and asked me, "Did Bai Qi hire you to take her back?"

I nodded and said yes.

Zhou Wu patted the dirt on his body and stood up. He walked up to me and pointed at Mu Yan: "I want to go back with her. I want to ask our General Bai personally why our lives are not valuable. Giving up is as easy as uprooting a piece of grass. Why wouldn’t he give me, give her, give everyone a chance to live? "

I looked at the people around me and said: " The purpose of driving the corpse is to take you back to your hometown for burial. There is no turning back. Likewise, we can't go back. If you all want to go to Bai Qi, you won't be able to see your relatives. , I can’t go back to my hometown for burial."

Everyone seemed to be surprised when they heard what I said. Zhou Wu finally gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Okay!" After

he turned to look at Li Si. With Qian Jiu and Li Si, they leaned close to Zhou Wu and said to me: "Let's go with the eldest brother."

Everyone looked at Wang Cong again. Wang Cong had no expression on his face. He stared at the ground with his eyes and said calmly. : "I'm not going, I'm going home."

"Okay, then I'll take you back first." I opened the map and looked at the location of the Wang family. It was about past these two mountains.

Everyone was silent on the road except Li Si and Qian Jiu, who were kicking a stone carelessly. When Zhou Wu saw it, he silently made up a Cuju for them. When

was handed over, Li Si’s face was shining.

Zhou Wu raised his chin at him: "This is for you!"

Li Si took it dearly, rubbed it against his face for a while, and looked at Zhou Wu with admiring eyes: "Brother, can you teach me when you are not busy? ? I learn things very quickly!"

Zhou Wu nodded first, and then laughed dumbly as if he remembered something: "It's useless for you to learn, after all... we..."

He didn't say the next words. , yes, Li Si is already dead, what's the use of learning it again.

Li Si didn't seem to understand, he just kept pulling on Zhou Wu's sleeves and begged: "My dad can knit various things with straw. He promised to knit a Cuju for me before, but then he ..." He opened his eyes a lot as he said this, trying not to let the tears in his eyes flow out.

Zhou Wu sighed, knowing that his father was probably gone. He stretched out his hand to touch his head and asked, "Did your father make up a Cuju for you?"

Li Si smiled at us with his open mouth, Shaking his head: "No, he was taken away by the conscripts when he was halfway through the training. When my father left, he told me to keep the rest so that he could continue to train me when he came back. But as soon as he left, I never came back."

Wang Cong and I looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Wu's eyes were red, and he reached out and patted his shoulder: "It doesn't matter, I'll teach you, and when you learn it, you can make it up for yourself."

"And Qian Jiu!" Li Si did not forget to point to his friend behind him, and as if he had thought of something, he added: "...and my brother."

When he said this, his face suddenly He wrinkled up and looked at me with anxious eyes: "Sister, you just said that if we look for Bai Qi, Bai Qi, we won't be able to go home, then I..."

Yes, in this case, what will happen to his Cuju? What about handing it over to his brother?

I quickly added: "It's too late for you to change your mind now."

He looked at me, then turned back to discuss with Qian Jiu for a few words, and said with a smile: "No change, I will go as promised. Besides, I don’t want my family to see me like this.”

He looked like a child who had soiled his clothes while playing outside. He lowered his head and tugged at the corner of his clothes in embarrassment, and then raised his head with a look on his face. Still looking cautious: "Sister, could you please give it to my brother when the time comes? It won't cost you any time."

This is the second time I heard him say this. The first time was when he begged me to bring him. When Qian Jiu left together, there was another time.

He seems to be particularly afraid of causing trouble to others. Every time he makes a request, he carefully observes your face and adds that he will never cause you too much trouble.

This kid is so sensible at such a young age that it makes people feel distressed. I squatted in front of him, pinched his face and promised, "Of course, I'm very happy."

Hearing what I said, he finally relaxed a little. After saying thank you, he took Qian Jiu and jumped away.

When it was evening, we finally arrived at Wang Cong’s home.

His family probably already knew the news that he was dead. Two white lanterns were hung at the door, with a big word "Dian" written on them in ink.

Wang Cong stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was a rustling sound inside, and then an old woman's voice came through the door panel, asking: "Who is it?"

Wang Cong softened his voice and answered softly. : "Mom, it's me."

This is the first time we have heard him speak in such a gentle voice. In the

, the sound of "Ping Tie Tong Pong" immediately, followed by the door was pulled out vigorously, and a tear old couple cried and hugged him in his arms.

Only then did we know that Wang Cong turned out to be a woman!

She had two older brothers, both of whom died in the war, and they were drafted again. This time only her father could go, so she disguised herself as a man and went to the military camp in her father's place.

I left for three years, but when I came back, it was like yin and yang.

Wang Cong was holding her mother while she was talking. Her mother suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, someone just came to see you?"

Wang Cong raised his eyebrows and asked who it was.

Her mother shook her head hesitantly: "He is a man who has lost his left leg. He says he is a comrade with you. You told him before that if one day he comes back from the battlefield, ask him to come to your home to find you."

Wang suddenly started to tremble. He grabbed his mother's hand and asked, "What about...the others?"

His mother sighed, "Let me send you away. I don't know whether it's true or not. I don't dare to recognize him rashly. I He just said that he had found the wrong person."

Wang Cong stood up from his chair, paced back and forth in the room, and murmured with a smile: "He is not dead, he is not dead!"

After saying that, he covered his face and cried loudly: "He still remembers what I said to him, he, he really came to find me!"

said that and ran outside. I glanced at the sky, worried about her When the time came, I was afraid something might happen again, so I quickly got up and followed him.

When I went there, she was talking to a man who had lost his left leg.

The man leaned against a tree, looked her up and down twice, and joked: "Wang Cong, Wang Cong, you told me to save my life and not die to come to you, how did you become like this?"

Wang Cong Shrugging his shoulders, he joked in a normal tone: "Hey, you're out of luck. I didn't expect that you, a careless person like you, would actually remember what I told you. I'm really lucky."

Then He laughed heartily, pointed to his left leg, and said, "I have no choice. I can't get a wife because of this, so I have to come to you."

Wang Cong seemed to sway slightly and said no. Speak up.

The man narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Congdao seriously: "...You told me before that there is a sister at home who looks very similar to you. If I can come back alive, you will marry her to me. Still...is it true?"

Wang Cong blinked, blinking away the moisture in his eyes, and said with a rather regretful expression: "Oh, I broke my promise, that sister...she got married long ago. I can't marry you."

The man seemed to have an expected expression on his face, looking at Wang Cong without saying a word.

Wang Cong said again: "But I still have a cousin. Yunying is still unmarried. If you like it, I will..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the man who waved his hand. The man had a very serious look on his face. He scratched his head in distress: "Forget it, forget it, I don't even want the sister you mentioned. Hey, you don't know that after so many years on the battlefield, I just wanted to come back and marry her, so I tried my best not to die. ."

Wang Cong suddenly covered his face and cried, saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" all the time.

The man wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, but as soon as he raised his hand, he couldn't stand still. He had to give up and asked with a choked voice: "...I, I listened to you and came alive, but why did you... ”

Both of them were speechless after they finished speaking, and they cried together. I couldn’t bear to watch this scene any longer, so I turned around and walked away the way I came.

html When the willow trees were growing in May, Wang Cong came back alone with a smile on his face.

"Where is he?" I asked Wang Cong.

Wang Cong smiled at me, pretending to be relaxed: "Let's go!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and glanced at the moon in the sky, sat next to her, and said quietly: "The moon is so big and round tonight."

After that, he sighed and said softly: "The moon was so round that year, Miss Xiao, do you know? I once made a wish to the moon. I said that if we can all survive the battlefield, , I will marry him. If he dies in the war, I will remain a widow for him and I will never marry anyone else."

When she said this, she couldn't speak anymore.

Fortune played a trick on people, I didn’t expect the ending, but she died and he was still alive.

I stretched out my arms and hugged her, and asked, "Then why didn't you explain it to him just now?"

Wang shook his head like a rattle and cried, "What's there to say? I'm going to die, why bother?" Leave him a thought, it has delayed him for a lifetime."

Her time seemed to be finally running out. She leaned her head weakly on my shoulder and said weakly: "Miss Xiao, you said I should have died if I hadn't. How nice, that way, then I can marry him. "

After saying goodbye to Wang Cong's family, we continued on our way. The next village was Li Si's home.

On the road, I unexpectedly met someone who was my nemesis.

The man was dressed in Taoist robes and carried a long sword on his back. He was standing on the roadside and looking at me coldly. He was clearly a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He had the appearance of a man with red lips, white teeth and a jade-faced face, but his face was... He always behaves in an old-fashioned way, which really disappoints me.

"Stinky Taoist!" I raised my chin at him.

His lips curled up and he looked at me with squinted eyes: "The corpse hunter girl!"

Then he looked around at the people behind me, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, and he was amazed: "You are so honest this time. They are all dead bodies, but there is not a single zombie, tsk tsk!"

I rolled my eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him. I rang the bell and just said to the people behind me: "Quickly, we have to stay away from this person."

He is a professional. A Taoist priest who hunts zombies, and I am a notoriously bad guy. I will not ignore zombies when I encounter them occasionally, and will even choose to give them a ride. For this reason, this stinky Taoist priest and I have become friends.

The man's blue-grey robe was blown by the wind. I had already walked a long way with him, and then I heard him shouting from behind me: "Xiao Man!"

I walked quickly, pretending not to hear him.

He didn't give up and shouted: "Don't bring any more zombies next time! It's dangerous!"

So I walked faster and was too lazy to listen to his verbosity. Anyway, it was just those few sentences, which was very annoying. .

After driving for a long time, we finally arrived at Li Si’s village. I glanced at the two teenagers who were extremely silent, and then asked, "Are you really not going home?"

Li Si grinned. With a smile that was uglier than crying, he looked at me and said, "I'm not going back. My brother should be frightened if he sees me like this."

He said, taking out a straw Cuju and handing it to me, with pleading eyes: "Girl, I made this up for my brother. Can you please give it to him for me?"

I followed Li Si's guidance and went to his house. When I went there, a child who was only about three or four years old was in the yard. When we were playing, her mother seemed to be a very powerful woman. When she saw me coming, she asked: "Who are you looking for?"

"Is this Li Si's family?"

She put down the cooking utensils in her hands and looked up and down suspiciously. He looked at me several times and said, "Yes, but he disappeared for a long time. Why are you looking for him?"

"Disappeared?" I don't understand.

The impatient look appeared on her face again, and she stretched out her hand to chase me away: "Last year, our village recruited soldiers, and every household had to send one. It was his turn to go, but unexpectedly he ran away with the orphans in the village. "I haven't returned yet."

Her words immediately silenced me. Li Si clearly went and was killed by the Lu people, but why did his mother say that he escaped?

Could it be that Li Si went there secretly behind his mother’s back? Don't you want your mother to be sad?

This seems to make some sense.

I looked at the child holding her thigh and asked, "What about his brother?"

The woman looked at me doubtfully.

I asked again: "The older one, about eight or nine years old."

There was a trace of imperceptible panic on her face, and she said "I don't understand what you are talking about" and she stretched out her hand to reject me. outside the door.

Knock again and the door will not open.

I walked around the village with my hands behind my back, and all I could see were old, weak, women and children, and not a single man at all. As Li Si said, all the men in his village died on the battlefield. This village had long ago Nine out of ten rooms were empty, so I found my mother-in-law who was cooking in the yard and asked her about the younger brother of Li Si's family.

The mother-in-law glanced in the direction of Li Si's house with lingering fear, and complained to me in a low voice: "What a crime, that woman is Li Si's stepmother, and now this child is her biological child, Li Si and his brother are both." His father brought him here."

No wonder she looked so cold just now, and no wonder Li Si mentioned his father and his brother along the way, but never said a word about his mother.

The mother-in-law said again: "Li Si is also a hard-working child. He has to do all kinds of work at home. Even so, his stepmother still dislikes him and his younger brother, and often beats, scolds and punishes him. It was better when his father was around. From then on. After their father died, these two children never had a good life.Widow Li hooked up with a recruiter. In order to give him a quota, she forced Li Si, who was not old enough, to die, saying that if he didn't go, he would send his younger brother to die.

I thought that Li Si was always talking about "What's wrong with my brother?" I expected that the child would choose to go by himself, so I asked again: "But why did she just say that Li Si ran away?"

The old woman rushed I winked and said, "She was afraid that others would know that she forced Li Si to die and stabbed her in the back. That's why people who cried to the outside world said that Li Si was afraid of conscription and ran away first. But who in this village didn't? Knowing how she treats the Li brothers, and besides, Li Si is a very sensible kid, how could he run away? "

"What about Li Si's younger brother?" I asked. There was no one else in the yard except the little kid just now. other people.

The mother-in-law sighed loudly, shook her head and said: "Girl, to tell you the truth, in these years of war, all our husbands and sons have died on the battlefield. You have also seen along the way that there are not even half-grown boys in the village. No one is planting or harvesting the crops in the fields, and the weather has been bad in the past two years. There was a famine the year before last, and every household couldn't survive, and many people died of hunger. , someone came to the village to collect their children, and many families sold their children for food. The child was sold by Widow Li!” In desperation, I grabbed her hand and asked, “Sold to her. Who? Where did it go? Do you know?"

The mother-in-law looked at me helplessly and shook her head: "You can't chase him back. Hey, I'm afraid he's already dead."

She looked at me again with a look of disbelief on her face. She knocked on the side of the pot with a spoon and said loudly: "There has been a drought for many years, and there is no harvest. We will starve to death. You don’t know how high the pile is. Why do you think there are kind people who give you food for nothing? Well, to put it bluntly, they all exchange food for meat. You should understand by now. Come on."

The Cuju in my hand dropped to the ground in shock, bouncing so high that I didn't expect that Li Si's beloved brother, he naively thought that the child would survive if he died. My younger brother actually died a long time ago, still in this way.

The old woman seemed to have been used to these things for a long time. She stirred a pot of wild vegetables with a spoon and said in a long voice: "This kind of thing may not be seen much in the peaceful years, but it becomes more common in troubled times. It is no longer worth it." What a fuss. "

When I went back, it was already dark.

Li Si saw me and ran over dragging Qian Jiu. He looked at me expectantly and asked, "Sister Xiao, is everything okay at home?"

I saw this child was so happy; He died so miserably, and he couldn't bear to expose his sweet dream no matter what. He could only put on a smile and said, "Everything is fine. Your family is still complaining to me about why you don't go back to see them."

He then I was even more happy and asked me: "Did you give Cuju to my brother? Does he like it?"

I forced a smile: "Yes, he likes it very much."

Li Si smiled even more when he heard what I said. He was so happy that he grabbed my hand and asked, "Has my brother grown taller? Is he still strong? How tall is he now?"

I estimated the height of an eight or nine-year-old child and showed him: "I have grown taller and my body is very strong."

Li Si said "Wow" and turned around to show off to Qian Jiu excitedly: "Qian Jiu, Qian Jiu, did you hear that my brother has grown so tall! He is taller than me at that time. "High! I'm so happy!"

I couldn't bear to see him look so happy anymore, so I turned my head and pressed my hand on my eyelids.

Over there, Li Si pulled Qian Jiu and muttered: "Now that Daqi has won, there is no need for conscription, and maybe my brother can go to school!"

"Uh-huh.

"My brother has been smart since he was a child. If he can study well, he might even be able to become a scholar!"

"Ugh."

"Oh my god, why did I forget this? If he goes to study, he can't He played Cuju and delayed his studies. I should make up something for him. I thought about what to give..." When

found Bai Qi, he was sitting alone on the tower drinking.

I said I brought the person to you and stepped away. Mu Yan lowered his head and stood behind me.

Bai Qi was stunned. The hand holding the wine bottle failed to hold it, and it fell to the ground with a "pop" and shattered into pieces.

"Yanyan" His eyes were red and he reached out to hug her, but she dodged him mercilessly. Mu Yan only looked up at this time.

As soon as she raised her head, Bai Qi saw the marks on her face, and his fists clenched loudly.

Mu Yan smiled, looked at Bai Qi with blinking eyes and said, "I'm dirty and unworthy."

I saw the veins on Bai Qi's forehead popping up. He asked Mu Yan with red eyes, "Do you hate me?" ”

Mu Yan actually shook his head and said with a smile: “I don’t hate it. It’s all my own fault that I’m like this now. I don’t blame anyone. I don’t expect anyone to put me in the most important position in their heart. Naturally, I don’t expect anyone to come.” When my great hero comes to save me from the fire and water."

Bai Qi stepped forward and explained hurriedly: "No, Yanyan, I have gone back to find you. Really, I wanted to go back to find you, but at that time. The war on the northern front is tight, so I have no choice but to..."

Mu Yan dodges and hides behind me, refusing to let him touch me at all. He nods calmly: "I understand, the war is tight, Bai Qi, actually you don't have to follow me. I understand all these explanations, really."

Bai Qi was choked by her and couldn't speak anymore. Those explanations that he had thought about thousands of times, those about the righteousness of saving people's lives from fire and water, he thought. Explaining it to her, he even practiced secretly many times in private, how to say it when he saw her again, how to say it so that she would understand, so that she could forgive herself a little bit, even just a little bit.

But every time he talked about it, his heart was in knots and he couldn't say it anymore. Yes, he couldn't even convince himself, so why should she understand? Why would he give up the woman he has loved for many years for someone he has nothing to do with? Why should I take into account the interests of justice when choosing one of the two and not just do whatever I want?

Everyone in the world praises him. There is no civil or military man in the court who would not call him "General Bai" when they see him. Even His Majesty implicitly expressed his intention to give him the princess.

They all knew that he had lost his fiancée, and everyone had a tacit agreement not to mention anything about Mu Yan. Everyone praised him for his wise decision-making and leading the army like a god, but who had ever asked him about it? regret?

Now if anyone dares to ask him, General Bai, do you regret what happened that day?

Now Bai Qi will definitely regret it without hesitation!

If the same situation happens again, there is no guarantee that he will not make a completely different choice.

Go to hell for your righteousness!

Go to hell general!

is even... go to hell with the common people!

These, he doesn't care about these anymore. He just wants that person, the girl who is held in the palm of the family and raised by nobles and nobles, to be safe.

His wish is so simple, so ordinary, why, why is it that now that he has so much power and can turn his hands into clouds and rain, he can't even keep his beloved girl? He didn't understand, and he always couldn't understand, he had saved so many people, but why was God not willing to grant him even his little wish?

He thought a lot. He thought Mu Yan might blame him, scold him and hit him, but he didn't expect that Mu Yan just turned his head and ignored him. He didn't have the courage to make excuses about the justice of the world. After saying it, she smiled and said that she understood, she understood, understood his choices, understood his difficulties, and she understood that the common people in the world were more important than herself.

What does she know?

Should she understand?

Why does she understand something that he doesn’t even understand? Why does she understand!

"Yanyan" Bai Qi collapsed on the ground, looked at her pleadingly and said, "I have asked your Majesty for an imperial edict, let's get married. Can we get married?"

"Get married?" Mu Yan's face was full of mockery: "You are a great general of the Qi State. Marrying a military prostitute from the Lu State who is a good wife, are you not afraid of making everyone in the world laugh at you?"

Bai Qi shouted: "That's enough" and stopped her from talking any more.

Zhou Wu refused to let him go. He tore off Mu Yan's clothes and led him to read the words on the back: "The people of Lu know that Miss Mu is your fiancée, so their hatred for you can be forgotten." I vented it all on Miss Mu."

Mu Yan just stood there with a smile, letting Zhou Wu show her bloody back.

Bai Qi knelt on the ground and retched uncontrollably. Zhou Wu smiled even more and said, "Can't you stand it?"

He opened his chest again and showed the dozen bloody holes. In front of everyone, he said: "Look, general, see with your own eyes what the people of Lu have done to us. It's all because of you, because you refused to let go of the prisoners of war of Lu, because you trapped and killed them." Only one hundred thousand soldiers would suffer such torture."

He cried at the end. He roared and rushed forward, pushed Bai Qi to the ground and beat him violently. He cried while beating him. ! Why are you doing this! Even if it’s not for us, why would you do this to us? Why should we live like this? Damn you, you gave up so easily!"

Bai Qi felt as if his strength had been drained from the beginning. He lay motionless on the ground, looking at Mu Yan, saying sorry, sorry.

Zhou Wu was exhausted from the fight. He scratched his head and sat weakly on the ground, shouting at Bai Qi: "Tell me why! Why do you treat us like this? What did we do wrong? Why do you get promoted and get rich, but you call us Go to hell, little people, we just want to live, even if we are missing arms and legs, it’s okay to go back alive. There are people in our family waiting for us to go back. Why don’t you give us a glimmer of hope? Why!”

Bai Qi finally chose to go back. He glanced at him and also at Li Si Qianjiu who was standing in front of him. He moved his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, you have to go through this at such a young age."

Li Si's mouth flattened, feeling aggrieved. The ground burst into tears.

Bai Qi raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face and comforted him: "But it won't happen in the future. There will be no war for a long time. Your relatives no longer have to leave their homes and experience life and death."

I looked up at him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Bai Qi patted the dirt on his body and stood on the tower. He looked at us: "I killed a hundred thousand soldiers of the Lu State. They His vitality is severely damaged, and he will no longer be able to wage war within thirty years. As for the Qi State," he smiled again and pointed at himself: "After years of fighting, the civilians have left corpses in the fields. The Qi State has long been at the end of its war effort. As long as I die. , there will no longer be anyone in the court who can lead troops to fight, and His Majesty can no longer resort to violence. Naturally, his ambitions will have to be curbed, and there will be no more wars."

Everyone was stunned by his words. Zhou Wu looked up at him blankly, his lips trembling, his face full of disbelief: "So, did you kill those 100,000 people just to quell the war?"

nodded in vain: "I If the tiger is allowed to return to the mountains, the State of Lu will definitely invade again, but our State of Qi can no longer afford to fight. What His Majesty is thinking about is how to expand his territory, and what the courtiers are thinking about is how to protect their eternal reputation. I look at the battlefield So many people died, so many people died, and the corpses were piled higher than the mountains. I thought that someone should think more about our people in Qi.

After saying that, his eyes turned red again, and he bowed deeply to everyone: "I'm just sorry for you, I have made you suffer a lot."

Everyone really didn't know what to say, and they all looked at Mu Yan, white Qiye looked at her: "Yanyan, I dare not die until now, just to see you again. Although I probably already know your answer, I still want to ask you one more question. After I die, Do you want to be buried together with me?"

Although there were tears in Mu Yan's eyes, her mouth was extremely stubborn. She smiled and shook her head: "No."

"Okay, I will be sorry for you in this life. I hope that in the next life..." He suddenly couldn't say anything about the next life.

had a handsome face, but suddenly it became distorted from crying. He covered his face like a child and cried bitterly. While crying, he beat his chest and shouted: "Yanyan, you never asked me One sentence, "Does it hurt? No one has ever asked me, "Does it hurt?"

Mu Yan was stunned, his lips just moved weakly, but he never asked that question.

Bai Qi turned around, glanced at her for the last time, and said tremblingly: "Yanyan, I feel so much pain, I'm sad, I... regret it." After saying that, he stretched out his arms and walked off the tower in front of everyone. Jumped down.

For a moment, everyone only heard a "crash", the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, followed by a noise like boiling water from below the city, and occasionally people could be heard shouting "General Bai Qi!" "The word "dead".

Bai Qi died, and Mu Yan just stood on the tower looking down at his body in a daze.

I walked over and asked her quietly: "Do you want to collect his body?"

Mu Yan shook his head very softly: "He is a majestic general of Qi State. Someone will collect his body, so there is no need for me."

said Wan Ye looked at me: "Girl, my home is here. I think I want to say goodbye to my parents again."

I nodded, looked up at the sky and reminded her: "You still have two hours."

She smiled Said: "That's enough." After saying that,

picked up her skirt and left.

Zhou Wu was still sitting in the corner like he was just now. He seemed to be still immersed in the fact that Bai Qi committed suicide. He pulled his hair and asked me with red eyes: "Girl, what should I do? , What should I do, he, why did he want to die? I, I didn’t want to force him to death, I just wanted to get justice for everyone."

I squatted down and patted his shoulder to comfort him: "I know. , General Bai Qi committed suicide, I don’t blame you, he died for the sake of no longer fighting between the two countries, and for the people of the two countries."

Zhou Wu was as overwhelmed as a child, and he opened his mouth and burst into tears: "Girl, what should I do? Girl, my hatred for him has supported me until now, but now, I can't even hate him. How should I tell my family, what should I say!"

Although I couldn't bear it, I still wanted to explain the facts to him. I patted his shoulder and said, "Zhou Wu, you can't see your family anymore."

"Yes, can't you?" He looked like he was lost. Like a child, he looked up at me blankly.

I nodded: "I said, there is no turning back. Since you have decided to come to Bai Qi to ask for justice, you can't go back."

"No way! Not anymore?" He grabbed his hair. Weeping and laughing, for a moment he covered his face and burst into tears: "I, I, I can't go back, I can't go back, dad, mom, really, I can't go back, what should I do, why can't I go back?" "Why, why can't I go back?"

Zhou Wu cried, and Li Si and Qian Jiu also started crying next to them. I looked up at the moonlight in the sky and sighed: "The time is almost here. , we have to go.

The four of us walked to a hillside on the outskirts of the city. I looked back at them and asked, "Is it okay here?"

Zhou Wu glanced blankly and just nodded.

I gave him and Li Si another shovel, led them to the hillside, and started: "Before midnight."

Several people dug in tacit agreement, and suddenly two more shovels appeared on the ground after digging down half of them. Tao Ying, when I looked up, it was the dead Taoist priest who came back with Mu Yan.

He saw me looking at him in shock, and explained with a straight face: "I saw her sitting on the roadside alone, so I brought her over."

I then turned to look at Mu Yan: "You're not "You said you're going home?"

She smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't go in." After saying that, she took a shovel from the ground and started digging quietly along with us.

I was stunned for a moment. It must be that Prime Minister Mu’s family is strict and he must not tolerate her ruining his family tradition.

After all, it was this smelly Taoist priest who helped me bring him back this time. I scratched my head and reluctantly whispered to him: "Thank you very much."

He raised his eyebrows, his face With a smug smile on her face, she said, "No, I'm afraid I'll have to clean her up after she turns into a corpse, so I'd better bring her to your grave quickly."

I curled my lips secretly. This person is really useless. Don't get up early.

The four of us dug very quickly. Before the moon rose above our heads, a big hole was dug.

Mu Yan stood aside with a shovel and looked at everyone, and said cautiously: "Can I be buried with you? In this way, I will have a companion on the road to hell."

Li Si and Qian Jiu thought it was nothing, but They couldn't make the decision, so they went to see Zhou Wu.

Zhou Wu was still digging in the big pit. I saw that he dug out a separate place at the bottom of the pit, which was just big enough to accommodate one person.

After digging, he jumped up, not daring to look into Mu Yan's eyes, and said awkwardly: "Mu, Miss Mu, just...sleep there. Let a girl like you be crowded with men like us, I'm really sorry."

Mu Yan burst into tears. She choked and said, "I am still a girl in the Lu country... I'm afraid everyone in the world will know... Don't you dislike it? , I'm happy if you let me sleep next to you."

Zhou Wu looked at her with red eyes and explained hurriedly: "No, I know you are not! The people of Lu want to use your innocence to threaten you. General Bai, it's you, it's you who would rather be humiliated by them than write that letter for help. You did it for Qi State, for the people of Qi State..."

Mu Yan turned his back and raised his hands to rub his face randomly. Wiping the floor a few times, he said with regret in his voice: "After all, it's all my fault. If I had been willing to listen to my father and stay at home, how could such a thing have happened to me? I had to do it myself. It was me who came to this battlefield with him. I didn't listen to him and insisted on leaving the city. Now, how can I hurt him again?"

After saying this, she jumped into the pit first and looked up at us with a look on her face. Still smiling: "He asked me if I wanted to be buried with him, and I said I didn't want to. In fact, I wasn't unwilling, I just didn't dare. I was dirty, I was too dirty, and I was not worthy of him."

She paused, then blinked and said slowly: "If I have another life, I will obey my parents at home and stop running around."

Zhou Wu turned away and wiped his head. With tears on his face, before leaving, he took out a copper lock from his pocket and begged me: "Can you please give this copper lock to my fiancée Zhenzhen? If she is already married, you don't need to "Sorry to disturb her. If she is still waiting for me, please tell her that I am dead so that she does not have to wait any longer." After saying that, she reluctantly put the copper lock into my hand and jumped in. I dug the hole myself.

It was Li Si and Qian Jiu's turn. They may have fulfilled their wish, and their faces were very calm, especially Li Si. He sheepishly took out a peace knot from his sleeve and handed it to me. He was so shy. Dare to look at me: "Sister Xiao, I made this up myself and sent it to you. I hope you don't dislike it."

"Thank you..." I tightened the peace knot in my hand and touched their heads.

Li Si looked at me with sparkling eyes and a grateful look on his face: "No, I should be the one thanking you. You found my brother for me and gave him the Cuju for me. I am very happy because I don't have anything to worry about anymore. "

My throat seemed to be blocked by something, and I didn't dare to look at his shining eyes again.

Fortunately, Li Si didn't notice anything and happily jumped in with Qian Jiu.

I looked down at the four people under the pit, and they also looked up at me.

Mu Yan smiled and waved to me and said goodbye: "Goodbye, Miss Xiao!"

Zhou Wu also smiled: "Thank you for sending us all the way here and fulfilling my wish."

Li Si and Qian Jiu also Waved to me in a decent manner: "Sister Xiao, goodbye!"

Thinking of our companionship along the way and the stories of each of them, tears could no longer be controlled and poured out. I shook the gold in my hand for the last time. Ling looked at the four people lying in the pit and said his final farewell: "Zhou Wu, Mu Yan, Li Si, Qian Jiu, have a good trip."

I was just about to fill in the soil, and I just heard this smelly Taoist priest talking to me. The man next to me sighed softly and stretched out his hand to stop my arm.

I turned to look at him with tears in my eyes. He frowned at me and said, "Do you cry so miserably every time you send someone away?"

I sniffed hard and said to him, "None of your business. ! Come on, don’t interrupt my work!”

raised the shovel to fill in the soil. He stopped me again, saying "Wait a minute", and then took out a few talismans from his arms. After being thrown into the pit, there were only a few "pap-pap-pap" sounds, and a yellow talisman was posted on everyone's forehead.

This was the first time I saw this, and I asked him: "What is this?"

"Transformation talisman, so that their souls can temporarily enter an illusion, in which the things they desire most in their hearts will come true. I guess I can leave with a smile." When he saw me looking at him with gratitude, he suddenly felt embarrassed, turned his head and said awkwardly: "This, this is how many rich people get treated before they die, a talisman is worth nothing. Fei, I, I gave it to you for free, you have to be grateful for my kindness."

"Stinky Taoist!" I was so excited that snot bubbles came out of my nose, and I punched him on the shoulder: "I didn't expect it. You are quite conscientious!"

He took a shovel from the ground and looked up at me helplessly: "Yes, so, can you stop crying now?"

I raised my hand to wipe the tears from my face and smiled. Looking at the people in the pit, he said happily: "Hey! Actually, I have always felt sorry for you, because I am alive and you are dead. I know how much you want to live, and I know what is in your heart. There are many things that you want to do but can't do. I'm really sorry to let you leave like this with regrets. But with this talisman, at least it can make up for your slight regrets. Those who are about "what if" As long as I'm alive, you can do all the things you want to do in the fantasy world. Everyone, although there is a lot of pain and regret in this world, you have to leave with a smile!" Several of them smiled and waved at me, and all said gratefully: "Miss Xiao, Taoist priest, thank you so much!"

The smelly Taoist priest touched my arm next to him and said softly: "Fill in the soil. "

"Well" I waved to them vigorously and repeated in a low voice: "Everyone, let's say goodbye!"

"Where to go next?" He asked while filling the soil with me.

"Yandang Mountain, I promised those people to send them home." I glanced at him sideways, laughed "hehe", and begged shamelessly: "Why don't you come with me?"

Him His face suddenly turned red, and he began to stutter when he spoke: "Why should I go with you?" As he said this, the soil filling movement became faster.

Seeing that he had already agreed, I instantly felt that the burden on my shoulders was relieved a lot, and I replied briskly: "There are at least tens of thousands of people in Yandang Mountain. With my luck, five or five at a time, I'm afraid I won't be lucky in this life, if I have you, hehehe."

The smelly Taoist priest's face can no longer be described as ugly. His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, his eyebrows were squinting at me coldly, and there was a strange yin and yang in his mouth. "I said he was so nice to me all of a sudden because he wanted to take advantage of me."

"Then are you going?"

He snorted and became unhappy, lowered his head and began to fill the soil as if to vent his anger.

I deliberately sighed in front of him, and said in an distressed tone: "How resentful that place is. I'm not sure I'll go there again this time. I only met one or two, no, five, six, seven or eight." Corpse..."

I glanced at him and saw that he was shoveling hard and seemed to be in a tangle.

I secretly suppressed the smile on my lips and added: "Oh, if they really happened to me, you said I can't ignore them without saving them. At worst, I will take them away with me. It's just that my magic power is low. I don’t know if I can do it safely..."

"Go! Go, go, go! That's it!" It seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore. He threw away the shovel, put his hands on his hips and said to me: "I will accompany you to heaven and earth. It's all right with you! Auntie, please let me... feel at ease."

This is the first time I've forced this person to look like this, but I also know the principle of "don't chase the enemy when you are poor", so I rushed. He stretched out his little finger: "Hook!"

He sighed. Although his face was helpless, he still held my hand gently: "Yes, hook."

The gentle atmosphere lasted less than a second, and I quickly He withdrew his hand again and said to him: "Okay, okay, hurry up and work, I have to rush on my way in a while."

He:...

After less than half a stick of incense, I started pointing at him again He pointed: "I'm not telling you, the soil you filled is a bit uneven. Can you please take some snacks and don't deal with it like this?"

There were already blue veins on his forehead, and he pursed his lips and gave me instructions with a reluctant look. Tinkering somewhere.

I looked at him with satisfaction as he dared to be angry but dared not speak, but then he kept pushing further: "Hey, can you give me some more of your "transformation talismans" for free?"

"Xiao Man!" He was completely angry. As soon as the shovel was thrown away, he came to pinch me: "Don't rely on me to treat you... just slap my nose in my face."

I threw the shovel and ran away quickly. As I ran, I turned around and made faces to bully him: "Stinky Taoist! I can't catch you, I can't catch you!"

"The corpse-catcher girl!!!" Now he was completely angry.
