The moment the little boy rushed over, the old man who was originally like a gentle sheep suddenly burst out with a powerful force. Huang Yuchen and Zhuang Lexian had no strength to control the old man, but they were pushed back by the old man. The old man stepped forward like crazy and hugged the little boy, grabbed his only arm, grabbed the kitchen knife in his hand, and howled heart-wrenchingly: "No, no!"

After pressing the little boy, the old man directly blocked him behind him. Then he knelt down again, kowtowed to Huang Yuchen and others one by one, and begged loudly: "Please, sir, please, sir, he is young and ignorant, he is young and ignorant." As he said, the old man pulled the child behind him, wanting him to kneel down, but the child just stood there, his eyes full of resentment, his face was frozen red, and an empty sleeve floated in the air.

Seeing this, Huang Yuchen was shocked. He had never expected this situation. He immediately retreated, stretched out his arms to block everyone behind him, and quickly retreated a few feet away from the door of the wooden house before stopping.

Standing in front of the empty house, the bitter cold wind blew on my face, almost dissipating the only heat left in everyone's heart.

"I'll go in alone, you guys, go around and see, I want to know what's going on here." Huang Yuchen frowned tightly. He had a very unknown premonition. The old man's reaction was so intense that he should have been extremely stimulating before. If they had to force in now, he might have done something extreme.

As soon as Huang Yuchen's voice came out, this was the first thing they said in an orderly tone after coming out of Yongcheng, Chunhu. No one had any objections. Zhuang Lexian, Jiang Mingjie, Yuan Dongyun and Yin Cai scattered and began to patrol the entire village. Jiying and Su Rong stood there, without any emotion in their cold eyes, and stood there without moving.

Huang Yuchen looked back at the two of them, and said nothing, and walked straight to the wooden house in front of him. When he arrived at the door, he squatted outside the wooden house and looked at the old man who was still kneeling on the ground and crying. The child put his only hand on the old man's shoulder, and his expression also looked a little lonely, but when he saw Huang Yuchen coming, the expression on his face became fierce again.

The child looks at most twelve or thirteen years old, thin and weak, but his eyes look at Huang Yuchen did not retreat at all, as if as long as Huang Yuchen dared to take another step forward, he would immediately rushed up and fight to the death.

The old man also noticed Huang Yuchen. He raised his head slightly, and his face was full of tears. The explosion just now made him feel overdrawn in his physical strength. He knelt on the ground, looked at Huang Yuchen, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir... Sir, let this child go, he... he is already disabled..."

"Old man, you really misunderstood. I am not an adult, I am really just a traveler passing by, and I have no malice towards you." Huang Yuchen's tone was gentle, and he looked at the old man sincerely, and said softly: "No matter who you think of us as, we are not, you should get up quickly." As he said that, Huang Yuchen raised his hands slightly, but did not walk forward. He was afraid that his actions would stimulate the boy beside the old man. The little boy looked a little wrong at this moment.

"This... sir, please bypass us." The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard Huang Yuchen's words, but he seemed to not believe what Huang Yuchen said at all. He still murmured and had no intention of getting up.

Huang Yuchen sighed softly, then gently retreated until he took a few steps back before he stood up. He bowed slightly to the old man to apologize, then turned his head and returned to the place where Jiying and Surong were standing.

"There has been robbed here." Su Rong, who had not spoken, said in a cold tone: "The mountains are covered with heavy snow and the roads are blocked. Such natural villages may have surplus food. They do not have the ability to protect themselves. In this case, they will naturally become targets for predation."

Huang Yuchen didn't say anything, his face turned pale and his mood was extremely gloomy.

In fact, there is no need for the old man to say specifically. Huang Yuchen can see the clues from his performance, but he doesn't know who did all this.

What Huang Yuchen hated the most was the oppressor of the people. As the legitimate son of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, he was educated to treat the people's strategies since he was a child. Only when the people live and work in peace can the country prosper and the kingdom can be prosperous and the kingdom can be prosperous. The people are the foundation of everything in the kingdom, and those who destroy all this will have no redeemable sins.

Soon, the other four people returned quickly. The village was not big, with only a few more than twenty households. Looking at this, there were not many houses with people.

When everyone came back, their faces were a little heavy. Huang Yuchen looked at everyone's expressions and frowned again.

"There are almost no one." Yin Cai said the first time: "I went to see four or five families, and the doors were closed and no one was moving, but when it looked at the house, it didn't seem like I had been robbed."

"The same goes for me," Jiang Mingjie said: "Only five or six families had lights in the house, but I didn't go forward to disturb me. There were only some firewood and grass piled up in the yard of the house, and there was no livestock."

"The chicken coop and the pig coop are empty." Yuan Dongyun said: "There are almost no people in this village. I don't know where the people here have gone, and there are no signs of smashing and looting."

"Yuchen..." Zhuang Lexian walked to Huang Yuchen, frowned, looked at Huang Yuchen, and said softly: "Look at this now, there is probably only one possibility."

"Strong expedition." Huang Yuchen spitted these two words. In the village, only the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were left. There was almost no prosperous appearance in the village. All the livestock were gone, and there was no young and strong person. There was probably only such an explanation for this situation.

"But if it is a forced stake, will the people here not resist at all?" Jiang Mingjie's tone was a little low.

"Save their houses, they will have a glimmer of hope of returning." Huang Yuchen whispered: "If this hope is cut off, the soldiers who have been recruited will have no combat power."

"What a fuck!" Zhuang Lexian spat and cursed: "It's even more cruel than me, and he's actually some scumbags who only dare to bully the people!"

"This situation is common, why do you care so much?" Su Rong's cold words came from the side, immediately attracted everyone's attention. Now everyone's hearts are full of hatred. Su Rong's words are easy to attract everyone's attention to him.

"What do you mean? Do they deserve it?" Zhuang Lexian immediately spoke.

"There are rules of his operation in the world." Su Rong glanced at Zhuang Lexian lightly and said, "For many years, the world has been operating in this way. The strong and strong survived. If they do not have the ability to protect themselves, they will become other people's on-the-trade meals and be imprisoned; in any empire, such things are common. Haven't you seen them before?"

"No matter how this is done, you can't be so crazy." Huang Yuchen frowned and said, "Look at the old man's grandson, his arm was clearly cut off, and he practiced this scriptures to force others to submit. How can such a person and such a thing remain in the world!"

"Then what do you think? Do you think it's better for him to die now?" Su Rong ignored Huang Yuchen's emotions at all, and his expression was still cold, saying, "If he dies, it will have the same effect. After the plunder is over, he will save his life."

"Why, as you mean, this kid wants to thank them?" Huang Yuchen immediately glared and said, "What the hell is this bullshit logic?"

Huang Yuchen was furious. Su Rong glanced at him lightly and didn't say anything again. Huang Yuchen rarely had such a complete anger, and he rarely swears. If he hadn't reached the peak of his anger, he wouldn't have been so emotional.

After Su Rong shut up, everyone was silent.

In fact, is it reasonable for what she said... Although it is cold, this may be the truth in the world.

Su Rong was right. The little boy was cut off his arm, but he eventually left his life. Is it really better to die than to be alive?

It is unexpected that it can save one's life in front of a powerful enemy.

This is the case in the world. Huang Yuchen actually knew that he was not a ignorant person. There was a fundamental difference between the people in the East Prince's Mansion and the people outside. He had also been to the enclaves and saw the soldiers who were forced to enlist in the army in the enclaves. The situation of bravery to die is still fresh in his memory.

Sometimes, people will give up their lives for things that are not worth it. This is not because life itself is so humble, but because there are precious things in their hearts, and life will be overshadowed in front of these.

"The people who do these things will not be forgiven for their sins." Huang Yuchen was extremely angry and his voice was extremely cold. He glanced at Zhuang Lexian beside him, his eyes full of coldness.

"You should be careful first." Zhuang Lexian looked at Huang Yuchen and whispered: "There are not many living people left in this village. They may have endured more than once looting. Now they are too cautious about outsiders. We cannot ask too much. I suggest leaving here first and let Yuan Dongyun enter the village to find out the news. After all, she is a woman, which makes it easier for people to believe."

Huang Yuchen didn't say anything, but just looked back at the wooden house behind him. The door of the wooden house was closed at some point. Huang Yuchen knew that this closed door would never be opened easily in the future.

"Let's go." Huang Yuchen's face turned pale. He threw down this sentence and left the village directly. Everyone immediately followed Huang Yuchen and quickly left the small village.

When they met the living and the giants in the jungle, everyone would temporarily trim in the cold jungle, waiting for dawn.
