Chapter 178
The unfair things in the seventy-seven deserted city
This Chutian Xiaoma team, which was specifically responsible for plundering the surrounding neighbors' materials to fill the military camp, entered Xiaoxixia City, a destination not far away according to the route pointed out by Dao Xiaokai.
There are many valleys in the high mountains, but there is a plain after the valley. The geological landscape here is unique, and the mountains and winds are all weathered. When the wind blows, the rocks turn into powder and drift with the wind. After thousands of years, a layer of stone sand is buried on the earth. Of course, the thick sand on the Gaoling plain is not just stone sand, but also because it has been a place of long-term wars throughout the ages. I wonder how much of the thickness of this stone sand is contributed by the weathered bones of the predecessors?
"It's all for me to be smarter. I can already see Xiao Xixia City. I don't know where I'm going to have a group of bandits or deserters. "
The general riding a horse in front of the horse team yelled at the brothers following behind. Everyone agreed weakly, and then continued to lie lazily on the horse's back, without any sign of what the army should have. Of course, this is no wonder. These guys were playing money and gambling in the camp all night last night, and now they get up early in the morning to rush on the road. Not only the people, but even the horses looked tired, and they just walked casually according to the established route, including the young general himself, who was so sleepy that he yawned all over the sky.
Although the entire horse team looked sleepy, the only two soldiers following behind were very energetic on horseback, following the horse team in an orderly manner, while observing the surroundings alertly.
In this regard, Chu Tian's squad is still a bit disciplined. During the march, especially the squad responsible for escorting the military supplies, the sergeants responsible for observing and guards must always be vigilant. Therefore, these two sergeants were not seen in the tent last night. They should have been taking shifts today, so they did not participate in money gambling last night, and fell asleep in other tents early. This is not just to prevent Dao Xiaokai and Bailong from escaping while the horse team is not paying attention, but to prevent some poor children from scattered behind the horse team while the soldiers are not paying attention, and then cut open the sacks with a knife and steal some military supplies. Dao Xiaokai knew that in this time when the war is imminent, his and Bailong's lives are not as valuable as these sacks behind him.
Dao Xiaokai worked hard to support his body. From the top of the goods, he could vaguely see a corner of Xiaoxixia City in front of him. He thought it was actually time to come. Looking around, Dao Xiaokai had a good idea. Sure enough, he could see some poor children around the small town lying behind the rocks, and then staring at the horse team with his small eyes, his eyes full of desire, and they all looked like little coyotes, but they didn't dare to rush over. Because after rushing over, they might be greeted with a horse whip or even a fatal quick knife!
The horse team slowly arrived at the city of Little Xixia City. Small towns like this were already deserted. Some young people had strong strength to escape the war and didn't know where to go. There should be only some weak old people in the whole city and the children who had seen the hungry people stranded here.
The young general of the horse team opened the map and glanced at it. Although he couldn't understand it at all, he still smiled proudly when he looked at the abandoned small town in front of him.
"Haha, the little bastard is indeed not wrong. I didn't expect there was a small city here, but..." The general looked up at the city, and even the plaques of the city were gone, and the city gate was gone. It was probably dismantled and chopped off by the surrounding people and used as firewood. There was only the door bolt that could not be taken away.
"General, this little Xixia city is so deserted. What else can I get inside?"
"Then tell me what else can I take away from here, and tell my brothers, take away all the robbers in this small town, unload the door panels and cut them all with a knife, and put them all back. If there are any deserted people in the city, kill them all. Don't we have two big cars that are not full. I will return with a full load this time, haha."
"Yes, General, I will continue to command now."
"Okay, we'll go into the city."
The general pointed his horse whip and drove his horse slowly into Xiaoxixia City. Then the horse team followed one by one. After walking in, Dao Xiaokai and Bailong looked around. It was really a deserted border town, with desolate and dilapidated everywhere. Occasionally, gerbils could be seen emerging from the ground of the original streets of the small town, and even a few pairs of green eyes could be seen from the dilapidated and collapsed houses. It should be the bones of the dead border people from the jackals. It was really chilling to walk into this small city. I guess there should be no one in this small city.
"Didn't you say that when you and I escape in Xiaoxixia City? It's already here, so find a way to escape quickly." Bai Long whispered in front of Dao Xiaokai's ear.
"Don't worry, it's not too late."
Bai Long was obviously a little anxious. He had already arrived in Little Xixia City. Why is it not yet time? I don’t know what Dao Xiaokai means.
With a "bang", there was a sound from somewhere, as if it was the sound of wood breaking and shattering. Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came. It turned out that a general's subordinate seemed to have snatched something from his hand. He actually pulled out an old woman in rags, gray-headed and wrinkled face from a broken room. There were two children who were only six or seven years old who were pulling the corner of her clothes. It seemed that this old woman should be the grandmother of these two children. The parents ran away because of the war, and only the old man and the children who could not escape were left in this abandoned town.
"What's wrong? Third brother, why are you doing such a big mess by stealing something? I'm scaring my mother." The general shouted as he rode on his horse, waving the whip in his hand.
The third brother shouted at the general while fighting with the old woman for the things in her hand.
"General, this old thing hides a gold necklace and half a bag of millet, and he won't give it to me anyway."
"Dear soldiers... OK, okay... there's only a little millet at home... The children haven't eaten yet, please... OK, okay." The old woman begged, her shriveled and weak hands didn't let go even if she died. She held the rag bag tightly, and the two children gathered behind her grandmother and kept crying.
"Damn it, I'm so strong, I'll kick you to death." As he said that, the soldier who called the third child raised his feet and kicked the old woman in the chest, kicking the old lady to the ground. The old man was weak and didn't even have the strength to cry out for pain. He fell to the ground all of a sudden, but unfortunately the rag bag was in the hands of the soldier.
"I'm immortal. We have worked so hard in the war. I can't bear to give it to us any broken millet. It's a big deal." The soldier pointed at the old lady lying on the ground and cursed.
"Please... General, return Xiaomi to us. These two little kids have not eaten yet."
The poor old lady fell to the ground and still begged to return half a bag of millet to him. Two crying children beat and shouted around the sergeant who was robbing the sergeant.
"Get out...get out, two little bastards."
Although Bai Long and Dao Xiaokai were tied to the ox cart, they were so angry that they saw the scene of soldiers robbing food. Unexpectedly, these Chu Tian's soldiers were so crazy and inhumane. Bai Long said to Dao Xiaokai with an angry look on his face.
"Your time has not come, but my time has come! I want to kill these beasts that are worse than those of beasts." Although hemp rope was tied to his body, Bailong still jumped out of the ox cart at once. Dao Xiaokai wanted to stop him, but the two fell under the ox cart together because the hemp ropes of the two were tied together.
"hateful!"
Bailong was so angry that his teeth were itchy. He never expected that he would be so powerless one day. At this moment, he felt so powerless for the first time. It was not that he could not kill these things that were worse than those of pigs and dogs with one sword, nor that he was tied up with a rope, but that he had no choice when facing the injustice of this world. Bailong thought to himself that it would be better to let Tang Fengzi's wind blow away and poison him to death, so as not to see these Chutian soldiers here bullying people.
Sudden………..
Just when Bai Long felt helpless......
Two people jumped off the beam on the abandoned small roof, one man and one woman. Both of them held a sword in their hands. They were wearing long gowns with Central Plains characteristics, and some silk embroidery of flowers, birds, insects and fish were engraved on them. They probably didn't look like they were from this Gaoling. The two of them jumped to the old woman and pointed to the soldier named Lao San and said.
"Give back half of the bag of millet in your hand to the old man."
"Who the hell are you? Why do you just want to pay it back?"
The man and the woman saw that the soldier not only robbed the old man of food, but also was so arrogant. The woman said to the man beside her.
"Brother Yi, how can you tell me about this group of soldiers who only know how to bully people? I can only draw my sword."
"I think so, junior sister, since that's the case, there's no need to reason with them."
The man beside her nodded, and the girl drew out the sword directly. The sword was very fast, and the movement was done in one go. When the sword was pulled out of the scabbard, the sword edge had already swept across the throat of the third soldier, and then quickly took the sword back. Then he jumped forward and took the rice bag thrown in the air by the soldiers, and then gently sent it to the old man. The old man looked at it, and then thanked him repeatedly, with his hands trembling, and he didn't know what to say.
The woman who suddenly appeared took less than three seconds from setting off the sword to killing people and then retracting the sword. It was indeed as fast as everyone expected. Everyone was immersed in that moment and had not reacted. It was not until the soldier's body fell to the ground, which shocked everyone to scream the war horse under his crotch.
"Where did the two people who don't know how to live or die? They dare to care about our Chu Tian's affairs? I think you two don't want to live anymore. Brothers kill me this man and one woman to avenge the third brother."
"Yes! General."
The man holding the sword said in his mouth when he heard this.
"So it's Chu Tian's army, so I'm really in charge of this unfairness." Then with a clear and crisp sound, he pulled out the fast sword from the scabbard and stabbed the general who was riding on the tall horse and gave orders!
