Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Heartbroken Man's End of the World (2)

Buzhong's family lost hope, so I went to other hills, but those hills, when they heard that I was a Han from Jun's village, they didn't even see me. Only the Tujia village received me, but the Tujia leader said he He has surrendered to King Guangyi, unless the Junjiazhai is willing to be a slave of the Tujia, he will accept everyone in the Junjiazhai, otherwise he will not protect the Junjiazhai at all. He said that he would rather die than be a slave to barbarians. Jun Ergou, who went to investigate the news at the foot of the mountain that day, came back. He was so frightened that he was a little stupid. Changye’s wife poured him a bowl of water before he woke up. His voice was trembling for a long time, saying that all five villages at the foot of the mountain had been picked. , There are Dong family, Li family, and Han family, especially the villages of the Han family. Those who survived said that Hu Shuai didn’t care whether those villages surrendered or not, he rushed in to grab food and raped women. Killing men, even children and old people are not spared.

A strong sense of fear and tension spread in the Junjiazhai. People in the village were panicked. Everyone began to gather in groups at the gate of the ancestral hall, hoping that the patriarch could help them. In the ancestral hall, the elders are also nervously discussing countermeasures. The patriarch specially allowed me to participate in the clan meeting. In the meeting, the elders had no choice but to make a decision. Since surrendering or not surrendering is a dead end, the only way left is to fight to the death. I suggested: "Patriarch, we might as well escape into the mountains first. Hu Yong came to Panlong Mountain mainly to kill Prince Yugang, and the main force of Prince Yugang is his brother-in-law Qiannan Miao's family. He will lead his troops to the south, so Hu Yong must I won't stay in Panlong Mountain for long. After looting the villages, I will go south with Prince Yugang's house. We can make preparations to fight and let women, old people and children escape into the mountain. If Hu Yong comes to search the mountain and retreat You can go into the miasma, and if Hu Yong passes through the stronghold, you can come back conveniently."

The patriarch sighed: "Mr. Mo is right, but there are nearly a thousand people in Jun's Fortress, how can they escape to the mountains without being discovered, and there is not enough time." I checked the topographic map and suddenly found a place marked with a red mark on Panlong Mountain. I pointed to it and asked, "Is this a trail that only allows one person to pass?" The patriarch nodded and said: "Exactly, this is the only way to enter the Junjiazhai. If you cross this line of sky, you will enter the defense of my Junjiazhai." I had a plan in mind: "Patriarch, why don't we find a way to move the women and children to a safe place in the mountains first, let's find a way to lead Hu Yong's soldiers and horses to this line of sky, I will make some traps, if we use the traps to wooden Arrows to hold back his army, and then make some traps, hold Hu Yong here, our women, children and old people can escape into the mountains."

I wrote a battle book with a quill pen overnight, and drew the bow and crossbow design that I had researched with Lu Yuan and Wei Hu in Xifengyuan, and sent it to the elders of Junjiazhai to propose a battle plan: to be old, weak, women and children Hiding in the mountains, we must be ready for battle. One is to burn Hu Yong on the first line of fire, the other is to set traps on Luohuapo, and the third is to ambush in the village. Everyone was shocked by my battle plan. The patriarch was even more surprised when he looked at my design, but finally agreed to my battle plan and asked me to allocate troops. I counted the number of men in the village. Ding six hundred people, two hundred women, and more than three hundred old people and children. The patriarch held a large clan meeting and told everyone frankly what was going to happen. At that time, many women and children were so frightened that they cried. The patriarch yelled sharply: "The people in Jun's village haven't died yet, why are you crying?"

Immediately the crying stopped, and then he said the opinions of the elders, that the women need to flee to the mountains with the old people and children at home, and then the men will find a way to hold Hu Yong, I will not ask about the specific matters to arrange. I looked at the terrified eyes of everyone, and felt uncomfortable, but I still mustered up my courage and said to everyone: "Mo Wen is from the middle of Qin, where wars are raging. The one who took the lead in picking the five villages down the mountain was the one who led the army to slaughter the city of Xi'an." Hu Yong, this man is bloodthirsty, cruel, and ruthless. He sent soldiers to plunder and plunder the city of Xi'an, committing all kinds of crimes. Now that he has come to Panlong Mountain, it means that the iron hoof of the troubled times has finally come to our Junjiazhai, in order to protect our women And children, we must cooperate closely to fight this battle well. As long as we defeat Hu Yong, he will definitely not dare to offend our Junjiazhai. He and Zhaizi will also be afraid of our Junjiazhai three points, so that our women and children can continue to survive in the world. As long as we all work together and fight for our lives, our Junjiazhai will not be as bloody as those villages down the mountain. It flows like a river, and no dog or dog will be left behind..."

I then said some morale-boosting words, closely centering on one theme, that is to protect the homeland, as long as we fight this battle well, even if we lose in the end, we can still have time for the elderly, women and children to escape into the miasma. It is a poisonous place, but if you don't play well, you will lose all your chips. Everyone listened attentively, and hope slowly rose in their eyes. The next day, I directed the women, children and old people to make spears, bamboo arrows and wooden arrows, and asked Changfa’s sister-in-law and Chunlai to collect the arrows at regular intervals. flying crossbow.

Sometimes people would ask me about the whereabouts of Chaozhu, I just said that she took Xiyan to visit relatives. At the same time, according to the population table I invented, I divided the 600 healthy men in the village into three teams. After contacting them in normal times, I felt that a few of them were quite capable of management, so I asked Chang Ye to lead the team to Yixiantian. The second team went to Luohuapo to dig earthen pits, do the fortifications, and pull the ropes. Chang Fa led the other team and Chang Gen led the other team to make preparations in the village and To help each family pack up their fugitive belongings, I also sent about fifty people from Changgen's team, led by Ergou, to quietly take turns down the mountain to buy candles, gunpowder, fuses, and wooden barrels, and then sent people to Buzhong's house next door. After buying a lot of oil, everyone didn't have any doubts about my arrangement, and they followed my command in an orderly manner to prepare for the battle.

There are many poisonous things in Guizhou, so I asked those little kids who usually like to catch bugs to scare girls to help me catch some poisonous bugs, centipedes, scorpions, the more the better, and put them in one of the traps in Luohuapo , this special team takes Yange as the captain. I specially told Yange not to waste any insects. Whatever bites is good, but you must be careful not to bite your own people when catching. Yange His eyes were astonishingly bright, and he patted his small chest and said excitedly that there was no problem. My plan was carried out in an unsteady manner. This night, I was cutting bamboo arrows, and suddenly someone approached me. I raised my head in shock, because I was a little dizzy because I bent down for too long. I supported the wall and stood up slowly. , but I saw a tall and jade-like man standing in front of me with cold purple pupils shining like a beast under the moonlight. He casually picked up my wooden arrow and frowned: Can these wooden arrows really stop Hu Yong's 10,000 soldiers?"

I looked at his purple pupils and smiled slightly: "It's hard to say." "Then why are you here to accompany this village to die?" "Duan Yuerong, is there anything you want to protect?" I stopped, stood up, and faced him. He frowned: "You want to come and preach to me again." I was not as angry as usual, but just tilted my head and smiled at him: "You know, Duan Yuerong, every time I want to discuss some philosophy of life with Jinxiu, she also frowns and says to me like you, I want to talk to you again." Teach her." Duan Yuerong looked at me silently, and I smiled at him and said, "Duan Yuerong, do you know why Mr. Lu wants to die?"

He frowned: "Mr. Lu?" I looked at his purple pupils and said, "It's the one who ordered someone to rape and humiliate all the women in Lujia Village, and then wiped out Lu Yuan in Lujia Village, but in Meiying Villa, he saved me and you." He thought for a while, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What's the matter? His whole family was wiped out because he was too weak, so he was naturally bullied. He didn't want to live because he knew he was too weak to be here. Live in troubled times." I shook my head: "Duan Yuerong, you are wrong, Mr. Lu died because he had his dignity."

"The ancients said that a man cannot take away his ambition. Mr. Lu wanted to live with dignity, but this troubled world would not allow him to do so. Even the wife and child he loved the most in his life died tragically under your iron hoof. There is no peace in the grave, and he will be used to humiliate Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu cannot live with self-respect, so he can only choose to die with dignity." I swallowed my breath, and tears fell: "I, Hua Mujin, and thousands of Mr. Lu are different from the proud sons of heaven like you and the third master. We just want a peaceful life and go boating on the blue waves, but in this troubled world Not allowed." "That's right, I can continue to run away with you. Maybe after you beat your father back to Ye Yu, when you're happy, you'll think about our acquaintance and really send me back to Mr. Bai, but if you let me I watched Junjiazhai burn down like Xi'an City, I can't do it, let me watch from high above you like you, I can't do it, "The night wind blows me and him I smiled, "You're right, I can't change my horoscope, and I can't change Jinxiu's, yours, the first painting, There is also Xiao Wuyi's fate chart, I have no choice but to be with you, and Jin Xiu was born in this bloody and bloody world, my sister was humiliated, my sister died in the desert, and my brother's whereabouts are still unknown... Either I can't choose these, or I made the wrong choice..." My eyes were blurred, and I couldn't help crying when I thought of Fei Bai. I wiped my tears and said firmly: "But at least I still have the right to choose to do my best, and don't let these kind people in Junjiazhai repeat their fate, and don't let them be bullied under the iron hoof of troubled times." , life is better than death, even if I don't succeed, I can die with dignity and honor." Duan Yuerong's eyes were moved and there was a trace of pain that I couldn't understand. I looked at him and said with infinite earnestness: "Duan Yuerong, you know how the Nanzhao infantry and Hu Yong fight, can't you stay with me and Junjiazhai?" A war? It depends on the fact that Junjiazhai also rescued us at the most critical moment for you and me, isn't it possible?" He laughed loudly: "Hua Mujin, you are such a naive woman. In this world, if you want to survive, you have to be ruthless, you have to disbelieve no one, and you have to step on other people's shoulders to climb up. People do not do what they want, and heaven and earth are destroyed, do you really think that in troubled times, God will let this village go?" "Don't be delusional. I just came to persuade you because you have a relationship with me. Don't think that if you help me along the way, I will stay and die for you." I lowered my eyelids, disappointed in my heart, and smiled lightly on my face: "You are right, I am indeed wishful thinking, then can I make a personal request to you." With his back to me, he said coldly, "Tell me and listen." "Xiyan, she..." I looked at his back and said, "Please take her away, we wouldn't be here today without her on this journey, it seems that I can no longer take care of her, It may be troublesome for you to take her with you. Xiyan is an elf that everyone loves. In case Chuhua’s child dies at birth, I beg you to give her to Chuhua for adoption. It is my right to her. Comfort, so that she can live longer and find a good mother for Xiyan. If it doesn't work, you can also give Xiyan to Buzhong Village, and let Master Duojila find a good mother for her for the sake of a friend. The family took in..." "I knew you wanted me to save this stinky bastard." He suddenly turned around and interrupted me, changed his cold expression, and shouted angrily at me: "Hua Mujin, are you still human? You have been together for so many days, can't you share some of these worries with me?" "Duan Yuerong, I should congratulate you on seeing your father and king soon, and that you have returned Ye Yurong to the throne. What else do you want me to worry about for you?" I glanced sideways at the lush plum trees in the garden, Biye glowed with the silver light of the moon, feeling infinitely miserable in her heart. I turned around and smiled at him, but he suddenly took a step forward, grabbed my shoulders, and said sharply, "Hua Mujin, you clearly know what I'm thinking." "As long as you say a word, I don't mind if you are inseparable forever. I will take you away from this Junjiazhai, and then I will let you stay with me for the rest of my life, enjoying all the glory and wealth." He hugged me all of a sudden: "I I will try my best to find the antidote to the inseparable life. I can accompany you every day, spoil and love you. I hate children, but I know you like children. If you like them, I can allow you to bear children for me. It’s okay to give birth to ten or eight Xiyan, Chaoyan, who cares about the Jun’s village, whoever is the brother of the Yuan family, why can’t you think about me more?” His kiss was crazy and full of passion, eagerly wanting my affirmative answer, I didn't struggle, when he let me go, I touched my red, swollen and bleeding lips, looked at his drunk and blurred eyes, and smiled softly : "Forget it, Duan Yuerong, this kiss can be regarded as a memory of this life." He stood there in a daze, his body was trembling, and his eyes were full of hatred. He pushed me away fiercely: "I will soon be a beautiful woman with power at my fingertips. Who would care about a poisoned stinky woman like you? I will take you away." Xiyan's, since you want to be buried with Jun's village, then go to hell, you stupid woman." I fell to the ground, and he yelled at me, the pain and hatred in his eyes couldn't go away, and he turned and ran away. I looked at his back, and suddenly remembered that night on Lantern Festival, Feijue also left me in the end, the night wind blew his red hair, and the ends of his hair blocked his flustered and unfocused eyes... This time, it is impossible for the eldest brother and the second brother to appear to save me like a god, and they are all gone... I lazily stood up, looked up at the bright moon in the middle of the sky, full of Qinghua, I couldn't help thinking, during the war, Feibai, what are you doing? Looking at the flowers in the fog but not blooming, the jade hairpin will eventually turn into dust. In this life, I am afraid that we will never see each other again until we die... The wind picked up a strand of my messy hair, but it stuck to my face, and I woke up with a start that my face was already soaked. I raised my sleeves and silently wiped away my tears, calmed my heart, sat down and continued to sharpen the arrow silently... There are tens of thousands of strands of tender intestines, and the past hurts the soul and tears thousands of lines.
