In the deep sleep, a faint sound came from the ear.
Li Jun woke up from a peaceful sleep, and she listened attentively, those originally extremely weak words gradually amplified, piercing her eardrums one by one.
"Reported to the police?" The voice was a little hoarse, it was a man's voice, and it sounded old.
"Well, Lizheng, the Liao army's military master will arrive in a while. This time he is the commander-in-chief. If the cripple inside is really the one they are looking for, our Yang family village will be rich!"
It was the voice of a man who had been beaten up by her because he didn't know how to praise him during the day.
"Go and look at them, don't let them find anything wrong."
"Forget it."
Tsk, it really is that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Li Jun is not afraid of facing dozens of people from the Liao army, she just doesn't want to kill people at will.
She looks at the primitive humans here with disdain and contempt. Standing tall, she can see far away. She once lived in an interstellar civilization that was tens of thousands of years ahead of civilization. When it comes to force, the worm mother was severely injured by her. She There is no capital to take anyone seriously.
But she is not bloodthirsty, she is not a person who has survived the battlefield intact and has a completely abnormal mentality. The law allows those people to get the punishment they deserve.
When I moved my gaze, I saw that the man opposite had woken up, sitting on the bed with bright eyes.
Resigned to his fate, Li Jun shook the girl curled up in her arms awake.
Shui Shanruo rubbed his eyes and muttered, "It's dawn?"
"Officers and soldiers are coming." Li Jun held Shui Shanruo's little hand and pulled her up from the kang. In the dim night, she continued to listen attentively to the infrasound waves that were so weak that a dog could hear them, as well as those who were not worried. The whispering voice of the well-meaning person also clearly entered her eardrums, and she suddenly realized.
"Hold this, stay still like yesterday, there is really no way to move, and you are not allowed to make a sound." Li Jun put the green bead in her palm again, "I will take him out first , I'll come back to save you later."
Shui Shanruo tightly held the beads in his hand, his big eyes were full of trust: "Sister Meilin, I will wait for you here."
Li Jun hesitated for a moment, suddenly he was afraid to look into those eyes, she carried General Zhenbei on her back, and said to Shui Shanruo: "I will go first, remember, don't move!"
General Zhenbei grinned, showing his white teeth, and waved to Shui Shanruo: "Let's go first."
Then Li Jun jumped up and hung himself on the beam of the house. With his arms, he turned over the beam. She tore a hole in the thatch on the roof. She didn't forget to re-lay the thatch after she went out.
Shui Shanruo bowed his head, but the bead looked ordinary on the surface, it was the kind of thing that even a woman from a family with a bit of style wouldn't take a second look at if it was thrown into a bunch of jewelry.
It took less than a stick of incense for Li Jun to leave before those Liao troops arrived.
"My lord, he's in my house." Shui Shanruo couldn't help lowering her eyes when she heard the flattering voice of the man who was beaten up by sister Meilin during the day.
"Are you sure that man has disabled feet?"
"Returning to the adults, I saw that the man was tall in the daytime, but he had two scars on his heels, he couldn't walk, and he was carried on the back of a tall woman, and there was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy next to him. Girl."
"Wrap up!" The leader of the Liao army ordered.
It was still night at this time, and most of the soldiers who came under the stars and the moon had lit torches, and the surrounding flames completely surrounded the simple thatched hut. The two leading soldiers were ordered to kick open the door.
The light of the torch filled the entire hut, and in the flames, the cold and stern faces of the soldiers flickered, which looked strangely ferocious in Shui Shanruo's eyes.
The furnishings in the thatched hut were simple and there was no place for Tibetans at all.
Shui Shanruo couldn't help shrinking back, the two soldiers kicked open the door and searched, but found no one in the room, one of the soldiers lifted a bed quilt next to him, put his hand into it, fixed his eyes, and then He calmly put the quilt back in place.
"My lord, there is no one inside at all!" The two soldiers came out of the hut and immediately reported.
The moment the soldier lifted the quilt just now, and was so close to her, Shui Shanruo's heart almost jumped out. The leader outside the door seemed unhappy when he heard it. From the side of the opened door, he could clearly see the man with a bruised nose and a swollen face. The smile on his face disappeared little by little until he became panicked.
"It's late at night, you're playing tricks on me!" The leader pulled out his waist knife.
That man was arrogant and domineering during the day, but now he is like a capon in front of the leader of the Liao army. My lord, it's just... It's just that those few people must have got the news and ran away, it's none of the villain's business!"
The leader of the Liao army was riding on the horse, looking down at the man: "Don't be afraid, raise your head."
The man breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands on the ground, but looked carefully at the leader of the Liao army.
From Shui Shanruo's position, she only saw the flash of the knife, and then one of the man's hands flew away from his body. It was obvious that the leader of the Liao Army was in a bad mood today, and he ordered coldly, "Throw him in!"
After the man's pig-killing howl, the woman and the child cried, and a child cried and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad, woo woo woo..."
"I'm tired of crying, and you still think I did something wrong?" The leader of the Liao Army spoke in unfamiliar Dayan official dialect, and pointed at his waist knife, "Call me out from all the people in this village, and I want them to see The consequences of spreading random news at will!"
Before the arrival of the Liao army, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and the lights were turned off to go to sleep. Such a big battle naturally woke up everyone. They just didn't want to cause trouble, so they carefully huddled behind the door, waiting for the group of plague gods leave.
The leader of the Liao army issued an order, and several soldiers got the order, and kicked the door from house to house, and shouted loudly: "Come out, our lord has an order, and those who dare not come out within half a stick of incense will be chopped down!"
When their lives are threatened and they are powerless to resist, most people will succumb to the coercion. Soon, among the scattered village households, elderly parents and children are walking towards this family sparsely.
Seeing the men of this family rolling and crying on the ground, and the women and children beside them crying together, although this family has a bad reputation in the village and is domineering, they couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic. "Drive them all into the house!"
Then Shui Shanruo saw that unlucky man and his wife and children were shouted and stuffed into the thatched hut where she was. Soon, the soldiers found some lamp oil from the room, sprinkled it all on the corner, and lit the straw with the torch Well, it was the dry season, the flames rose in the wind, and quickly spread, igniting the man's three straw houses.
Outside the door, the commander of the Liao army said loudly: "Look, this is the consequence of lying about the news. Whoever dares to trick us in the future, this is the end! Of course, if the family hides the prisoner and does not report it, the end will be the same!"
After a few words, the villagers couldn't help trembling when they saw the flaming house and heard the howling inside. There were hundreds of people present, but apart from the beeping sound of the burning flames and the occasional snorting of war horses, there was nothing like that. It was so quiet that it seemed that the whole village had lost its voice.
Shui Shanruo shrinks beside the quilt.
She first saw that family being driven in, and then the door was closed, and at the same time she heard the sound of the door bolt ringing, and before an ominous premonition flashed in her mind, the house was on fire.
The woman who was still crying and the man with a broken arm panicked. Seeing that they were locked in the room, it was difficult to fly even with wings, so they hurriedly knocked on the door and begged.
"My lord, please spare our lives. In the next life, I will be your cow or horse to repay your great kindness!" The woman howled as she knocked on the door.
The man was covering his severed hand with a terrified expression. He never thought that he would get to this point at all. Originally, he thought that as long as he reported the matter to the Liao Army, he would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Then in the next ten years, no matter what ! It is that within twenty years they will have enough food and clothing, instead of being locked up in their own houses waiting to be burned to death.
It's a pity that begging is useless, Shui Shanruo knows that if she goes out, she will die, but she doesn't want to die like this. The straw ignited the beams of the house, and the smell of smoke mixed with the oncoming heat wave hit her.
Sister Meilin probably didn't expect that today's situation would happen. The function of the bead is only to make her invisible, but it can't really make her invisible. If she doesn't save herself at this time, she may die in this hut.
Her gaze turned and finally stopped on the bathtub next to her.
In the evening, after Sister Meilin forcibly moved into this family, because she was in a bad mood, she carried the whole drinking water tank from his house and used it as a bath tub for herself.
The water hadn’t been boiled, and sister Meilin didn’t need hot water to take a bath, so she called General Zhenbei and her out, and took off her clothes and scrubbed them inside, but this family regarded the three of them as plague gods, so naturally they didn’t dare to enter the house .
Now that big tub of bath water happened to be her life-saving item.
Li Jun carried General Zhenbei on his back.
After rushing away from the village for a mile, she was planning to find a place to put General Zhenbei down, but when she looked up, she saw a blazing fire not far away.
She squinted her eyes, calculated the position, and her face changed: "It's broken!"
General Zhenbei looked in the direction she was looking at, but it was pitch black, with only a small flame swaying in the night, he patted Li Jun on the shoulder: "What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid something has happened to the girl!" Li Jun put down General Zhenbei, and then she unsheathed the long knife at her waist and put it in front of him with a solemn expression, "Be careful yourself, I'll save the girl!"
Li Jun's figure quickly disappeared into the darkness. In the dark night, General Zhenbei tightly held the knife in his hand and smiled wryly.
All he can do now is to pray that the water girl is okay.
The leader of the Liao army looked at the burning house, and his angry mood calmed down a lot after being filled with human lives. He waved and said to the soldiers beside him, "Go back."
The Liao army came quickly and went even faster. Before leaving, the leader of the Liao army warned: "Only collect the corpses, not fight the fire. Whoever dares to be disobedient will die with the people inside!"
