The soldier fell and his butt hurt.
He got up from the ground with a hoarse grin.
He said angrily: "Hey, you little bastard, are you looking for death?"
After saying that, he kicked the boy on the shoulder.
He kicked with great force, and there was a bit of venting in his anger, but he did not knock the boy over. The boy held the body tightly, using his not-so-broad shoulders to resist. The soldier did not knock the man over, but was knocked off balance by the force, feeling a little embarrassed.
The soldier spat, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to teach the boy a lesson, but the noise startled his subordinates. The young man sat on a stool to slow down his rapid breathing and suppress the needle-like pain deep in his head. The subordinates were afraid that he would be disturbed and lose control.
He stepped forward with a knife and shouted, "What are you doing?"
The soldier's tailbone was in great pain, but seeing that it was his subordinates coming over, he had to endure the pain and put on a flattering smile. He pointed at the young man with bloodshot eyes and fierce red veins, and complained: "It was this unruly citizen who wanted to rebel. Just now..."
The officer raised his hand to signal the soldier to shut up.
The soldier shut up.
The officer squatted down, looked at the bloodstained corpse in the boy's arms, and saw several deep scars on the chest. He looked at the boy's appearance and roughly guessed the relationship between the male corpse in the boy's arms and the boy. He asked, "Do you know where this is?"
He pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
The boy's breathing gradually became heavier, and he looked at his subordinates with undisguised hatred in his eyes - he already knew his fate, so why should he kowtow to these enemies? His eyes swept over the weapons worn by the subordinates, and a trace of scarlet murderous intent flashed through his eyes.
The subordinates were not embarrassed when they saw that the young man did not answer.
He said: "Here, you have to be obedient to survive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man's body suddenly burst out with incredible strength, and he quickly grabbed the weapon from the officer's waist, and the weapon came out of the sheath with a swish. The young man roared and slashed at the nearest enemy with a knife, and the half-crouching officer was the first to bear the brunt!
The officials did not expect that the wounded boy would suddenly attack.
Because of the lack of investigation, the teenager succeeded.
Seeing the weapon about to chop down on his head, he reacted quickly and chopped sideways, at the same time raising his hand to block with his wrist guard - his arm guard was very fine and made of sufficient material, and he was confident that the boy's chop might not be able to completely injure him.
The young man only has this one chance. If he misses it, he will be hacked to death by the soldiers who will react in the next breath!
clang!
The expected heavy blow did not land on the arm guard.
The blade in the boy's hand collided with a flying short blade. The short blade looked light, but the power contained in it made the boy tremble with fear. He was hit by this force and his center of gravity fell back, falling to the ground in a mess, and the knife he had snatched fell out of his hand.
He tried to reach out and touch the knife to fight again, but as soon as he moved, his wrist quickly became red and swollen, and an indescribable dull pain went up his arm into his brain.
Finished!
This thought popped into the boy's mind.
He could almost foresee his next outcome.
He would surely be chopped into a pulp by the swarming soldiers!
"Fighting on the front line is not a game. How many lives do you have to lose if you are so careless?" The young man stepped forward with a sullen face, and the officer confessed his crime shamefully. The boy was also captured by the soldiers who reacted, and his hands were tied tightly behind his back, and he knelt on the ground.
The young man frowned and asked, "What's wrong with this kid?"
Official: "The male corpse on the ground should be his father."
The young man glanced at it casually.
He said calmly, "Oh, that's how it is."
To avenge his father's murder
It’s not the kid’s fault for losing control of his emotions, it’s just a pity that he was too reckless. Apart from losing his life, there is no other valuable meaning.
The officer asked, "Young General, do you want to kill him?"
The young man shook his head: "It's so pitiful, let's keep him."
Although he looks haggard and emaciated, looking at the child's sturdy stature and chubby face, you can tell that he was a beloved treasure of the whole family before the disaster struck. He had no worries about food and clothing, and his meals were filled with oil and water, which allowed him to be plump, wealthy and honest.
and-
Thinking of the boy's previous outburst, the young man raised his hand to signal the soldiers not to rush to suppress him, and stepped forward to pinch the boy's bones. You wouldn't know until you pinched him, and after pinching him - even he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. He said: "A good bone structure."
The officials' scalps were about to explode when they heard him mumbling.
Could it be that our young general values his talent so much that he wants to keep him by his side
The young man did have this thought.
But it was only a flash.
No one knows better than him how troublesome a person with hatred in his heart is! If reason cannot suppress hatred, then he cannot be used by him, and keeping him around will only cause trouble. If reason can suppress hatred, then it will be even worse! Isn't this a poisonous snake
You never know when it might come back to bite you.
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly and withdrew his hand. The official tactfully handed him a clean handkerchief to wipe the blood off his hands.
Seeing that the young general did not speak, the subordinates secretly waved to the soldiers, signaling them to take the boy away, fearing that the boy would violate the young general's taboo. The boy struggled desperately, and even after being punched twice, he still refused to let the soldiers take away his father's body.
The young man's eyes moved slightly, and he asked his subordinates to intercept the male corpse: "You don't need to take this body to report. Burn it and return the ashes to the child."
If you bury it, it will be dug out again, so it’s better to burn it.
The official was puzzled, but still did as he was told.
The soldiers who received the job discovered that the male corpse was quite rich. The lining of his clothes and the collar were filled with gold and silver bars and silver coins. The purse in his arms also contained a small longevity lock, which was strung together with a longevity thread woven with colorful silk threads, and looked like a child's toy.
There are words engraved on both sides of the longevity lock.
"Being lazy again?"
They were caught by their subordinates while dividing the spoils.
The officer asked, "What is hidden behind you?"
Go forward and take away what they are hiding behind them.
The purse stained with dried blood contained a considerable amount of valuables, which could be seen at a glance as having been looted from the male corpse.
The soldier's smile was distorted with fear.
Everyone was trembling with fear and dared not breathe.
At this time, the official picked up the bracelet with the silver longevity lock. The front of the longevity lock was engraved with "Long Life and Wealth", and the back was written with "My Son Tu Rong". The official pondered the name and felt that it sounded familiar. He thought about it carefully and suddenly woke up!
He hurriedly said, "Quick! Bring that boy out!"
Didn’t the rebel who burned the baggage that day say that his family was in Xiaocheng? One of them was indeed called “Tu Rong”, and that young man must be related to the rebels! The subordinates went to find the major general without stopping, and said excitedly: “Major General, great news!”
The young man was so upset that he couldn't sleep.
I was bored so I played marbles with pearls.
When his subordinate came to report the good news with a happy face, he was not motivated at all and said lazily, "What do you mean by 'great joy'? Where does the joy come from?"
"Major General, look!"
The official presented a dirty money bag.
The young man didn't understand what it meant until the official took out a longevity thread and pointed at the silver pendant hanging on the thread.
"Look."
"What are you looking at?"
When he saw the words on both sides clearly, he was shocked.
He hurriedly asked, "Where are you from? Where is the person?"
The officer thought he had made a great contribution and smiled happily, saying, "The things were found on the body of the man!"
The young man was so surprised that his eyes widened after hearing this.
He suddenly thought of the young man.
So, that child is Tu Rong
The young man could not help but think of Shen Tang's description of his appearance, and then checked it with the boy one by one. It really matched, so he immediately asked his subordinates to bring the boy over. The subordinates were prepared and shouted outside: "Bring the people in!" The boy was escorted by soldiers on the left and right.
He was already very weak at this time, and the wounds on his body had burst due to the struggle not long ago, oozing out scarlet and glaring blood. However, he didn't care at all. He just stared at the young man with eyes filled with hatred, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces with his eyes.
The young man was holding an object that was very familiar to him.
Ask him: "Your name is Tu Rong?"
There was a hint of emotion other than hatred on Tu Rong's face.
Screaming: "Give it back to me!"
The young man continued, "Answer me first, are you Tu Rong? If you answer my question, I will return it to you. Otherwise, I will crush it in front of you! Do you believe it or not?"
Tu Rong was so angry that his blood almost rushed back. He answered in a hoarse voice, "I will not change my name or surname. I am Tu Rong!"
The young man asked again: "Are you from Xiaocheng?"
Tu Rong endured the iron taste rolling in his throat.
"yes!"
The young man asked, "Do you know Qishan?"
With a bang.
These five simple words exploded like thunder in Tu Rong's mind, making his ears buzz and almost speechless. He looked at the young man in disbelief and murmured, "How did you know..."
The young man asked again: "Do you know someone named Shen?"
Tu Rong pursed his lips and said nothing. Suddenly, the image of Teacher Chu Yao's master appeared in his mind. Although he didn't say anything, his expression had answered everything.
The young man couldn't help but slap his thigh.
What kind of fate is this
Mama is really at a loss. If she had been patient and acted a few days later, she might have run into her lost relatives...
The young man asked, "Where is Chu Yao?"
Tu Rong looked at the young man suspiciously: "My teacher."
The young man asked again: "I remember there was a girl around your age next to you, her name is... Lin Feng, right?"
When the word "Lin Feng" was mentioned, Tu Rong's emotions, which had just stabilized, exploded again, and the young man pinned him down with a palm, making him unable to move.
"Where is Lin Fengren?"
Tu Rong tried his best to break free but couldn't. Instead, his wounds bled even more happily. Finally, he gave up, panting heavily, and asked with a resigned look, "Who are you?"
The young man said, "Mama's bosom friend, oh, that's Shen Tang. Mama also asked me to keep an eye on your whereabouts."
He paused after saying this.
It is obvious that Tu Rong is the only one left in Tu Rong's family.
The male corpse was the butcher, and his body had been cremated.
He felt ashamed: "I am sorry for Mama's trust. It's too late—"
How could Tu Rong believe his lies
Until the young man called someone in to treat Tu Rong's wound.
Seeing that Tu Rong was still calm, the young man explained, "It wasn't me who arrested you, it was that brother who I don't like. You stay here first, and I'll send you out when the situation stabilizes. There's still a war going on outside, it's very dangerous."
Tu Rong just wanted to sneer after hearing this. At this time, the subordinate brought in a jar and carefully pushed it in front of Tu Rong. Tu Rong lowered his eyes slightly and saw that the outside of the jar was still wrapped with thick coarse cloth, which was used to isolate the temperature of the pottery jar.
The young man said, "Our clan practices cremation."
Tu Rong's shoulders trembled, and he suddenly understood something.
He looked at the clay pot with red eyes.
He burst into tears while holding the clay pot.
At this point, he vaguely believed what the young man said.
The young man waited until he had cried enough and asked, "Do you have other relatives? Do you want me to lend you some people to help collect the bodies? Or are they also among the group of people just now?"
This was a great temptation for Tu Rong. He also didn't want the bodies of his grandparents, mother, and... Lin Feng's sister to become food for wolves and tigers. After hesitating for a while, the spikes that stood up finally softened and he told the story of his family.
After many twists and turns, the family finally found other refugees to travel with, but not long after, they ran into rebels who were arresting people.
Whoever struggled and resisted was killed. Grandpa, grandma and mother were hacked to death by the rebels in the melee. As for Lin Feng—
She jumped off a cliff.
The young man asked, "Jump off a cliff?"
Tu Rong: "If you are caught, you can't die."
Lin Feng had caught a severe cold after traveling for the past two days, and had a high fever. She was barely able to regain some energy before meeting the rebels, but she was still very weak. The rebels caught the refugees like chickens, and she couldn't escape even if she wanted to, so she resolutely chose to jump off the cliff.
Tu Rong was caught not long after he fled with his father.
Naturally, a beating was inevitable.
The bodies of A Niang and others were thrown off the cliff by the rebels.
Looking at Tu Rong, the young man remained silent.
Losing all blood relatives overnight is such a cruel thing, but it is normal nowadays, so normal that it makes young people doubt that the things written in the story books such as "parents are in good health", "husband and wife respect each other", "many children and grandchildren", and "long life" are abnormal.
No matter how powerful you are, you can't force it.
The young man sighed and asked his officers to gather some soldiers.
Tu Rong looked at him doubtfully.
Young man: "You should come with me too. It's not safe to stay here."
To be more precise, it's unsafe to leave his sight.
That sworn brother always made trouble for him, and he would take his anger out on Tu Rong. When he rushed back, he was only in time to collect his body.
Along the way, Tu Rong was as dull as a wooden statue, until he saw the familiar terrain and the puddles of blood on the muddy ground with the help of the torch. The tears that he had finally stopped showed signs of bursting again.
At this time, the young man jumped off the cliff with a torch in his mouth, shocking Tu Rong so much that he was speechless for a long time. However, the subordinates who followed the young man were used to it and did not seem worried at all.
Are you kidding? How strong is their major general
This cliff can only kill ordinary people and Wudan warriors with lower Wudan levels. For a strong young man, it is not a problem for him to get to the bottom of the cliff just by using the force of the cliff to cushion his fall.
Under the cliff -
The young man held up the torch and walked a few steps before he saw several mutilated bodies in the rubble. Each of them had a hideous face and eyes open. He did not even look at them and continued to search for his target.
Not long after he walked away, he moved his ears and faintly heard an extremely weak and gentle breathing sound!
The young man was on guard.
I thought it was a wolf or a leopard in the mountains, but when I followed the scent, I saw a girl hanging between vines and branches. Her face was covered with scratches and she looked very miserable.
As the firelight got closer, his eyelids trembled and he opened them with difficulty.
