Chapter 56 Are You Scared?

Xie Yuan gritted his teeth in hatred, staring straight at the dead body on the ground, his face pale.

"It's okay...it's okay, it's just a cut." Shen Liuzhen's tone trembled, "A Yuan, you are too courageous, what if you get stuck in it, you will die!"

As he said that, he was about to tear off the fabric of his inner garment and bandage it for Xie Yuan, but he couldn't tear it off for a long time, and the soldiers next to him helped him tear it open.

"It's a joke. If I can fall into the hands of such a bastard, I will be sorry for the suffering I suffer every day!"

Xie Yuan was stubborn, but the look of panic in his eyes betrayed her. After all, he was a child in his teens, and it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid at all.

Suddenly there was an urgent shout from outside, the voice was as loud as a pig about to be bled:

"I surrender, I surrender!...the son of Xie Yun, the governor of this county, and the son of General Shen Qingzhi are here!"

Xie Yuan hurriedly looked out through the crack of the door, only to see a man in blue-gray kneeling beside the Beiyi cavalry with his back to them, pointing behind him and shouting loudly, the moment he turned his head, Xie Yuan saw clearly, He is one of Zhou Tuzi's subordinates.

Xie Yuan scolded Gou Niang in his heart, turned around and said bitterly: "If I knew these people earlier, I should have killed them all!"

Such stern words from a child of hers really shocked everyone, and they were instantly quiet.

"Brother Xie..." In the stagnant atmosphere, a girl surrounded by Guan Yifei called out to her timidly.Under the dim light, Xie Yuan thought he saw Xun Ya's bright and shy eyes.

It's a pity it's not, Xunya...

Xie Yuan's eyebrows became sad, and he disappeared fiercely, pursing his lips.

More and more people went out to surrender, and then more people took the initiative to testify that Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen were together with a group of street children.

And those people used to be grateful to Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen, but now they look so despicable.

Xie Yuan, who was resentful for being betrayed just now, looked outside with disappointment on his face.

When Shen Liuzhen wounded Xie Yuan's waist, he also paused for a moment when he heard the movement outside, but soon he was relieved, and carefully knotted the cloth strip, saying:

"We are all ordinary people. When facing a life-and-death crisis, how many people can be unselfish? It's just human nature."

This seems to be said to myself.

"Then what should we do?" Guan Yifei asked nervously, covering the children around him.

The three soldiers of the Shen family glanced at each other, and also looked at each other, frowning.

Shen Liuzhen said at this time: "Yifei, take them out first. The teacher once said that although the Northern Yi Xianbei are barbarians, they have been learning from the benevolent government of the Han people. They must not kill prisoners for no reason, let alone a group of people who have nothing. There is no benefit for killing refugees, so they should not make such a loss-making business of wasting arrows."

Guan Yifei was silent for a while, he couldn't tell whether Shen Liuzhen's judgment was correct, he only knew that his parents died in the war between the two sides, or after the war that divided the winner.

In war, human life is like a waste of time. If you die, you will die. Ordinarily, it is like panting, just like those people who just fell outside.

He didn't want to go out and take this risk. He felt that this boxy little house was the last layer of protection, and it was better to have it than nothing.

So he asked for a while, "What about you?"

Shen Liuzhen seemed to see the reason for his hesitation, and said seriously:
"It's not safe for you to be with us... Xie Yuan and I will be taken as hostages for breaking the city. I'm afraid this place has been confessed by those people outside, and they will come to search sooner or later. You go out first, and we will hide in another place, If you can wait for a while, see if there is a turning point. If the Beiyi people ask you about our whereabouts, you should tell the truth, anyway, they can only come in and search."

Only then did Guan Yifei react.Yes, sooner or later they will be searched.The Beiyi people just said that if they don't go out, they will be killed...

He stood and hesitated for a while, and more and more people went out, kneeling in a dark mass, begging for mercy and begging for mercy one after another, and the crowd was full of voices.

"Go out, Shen Liuzhen is right." Xie Yuan came to a conclusion.

Guan Yifei finally stopped hesitating, took the children, leaned against the wall, bypassed the bald man's body on the ground, opened the door and went out one by one.

When a little boy passed by the door, he raised his face and asked Xie Yuan with tears in his eyes, "Brother Xie, I'm afraid, won't you go with us?"

Xie Yuan pursed his lips, tears rolled in his eyes, he loosened his hand on the sword at his waist, touched his head and said, "I will protect you from behind, go first."

Guan Yifei and the others moved forward among the refugees tremblingly, and soon they lost sight of their backs.

Xie Yuan, Shen Liuzhen and the three soldiers also hurried out, went deeper, and hid in an empty house.

After the door closes.Because Shen Liuzhen was too scared and physically weak, she leaned against the wall and gasped for breath.

Liu Qinbing was shot in the arm by an arrow, and he bled so much that it was not as bad as his panting.

Xie Yuan was a little speechless, and said: "Do you still remember what Master said, if you are lazy and don't practice running, you won't be able to run if you start a war. What did you say at that time?"

Shen Liuzhen took another breath, and said, "I said I'll be able to run when the time comes..." He wiped the sweat from his brow, "Actually, I'm mainly afraid, not tired."

Based on his own experience, Xie Yuan taunted him and said, "If you had practiced more and improved your skills, you wouldn't be so afraid now."

Xie Yuan looked out from the crack of the door, and gave him a white look with Danfeng's eyes.

Are you afraid?

Fear……

Shen Liuzhen, in particular, had a rich imagination. He was terrified when he thought of the scene where he might be placed in front of the two armies, and then his father killed his relatives righteously, and was shot into a sieve by the rain of bows and arrows with a wave of his hand.

Really timid, cold cold.

Shen Liuzhen glanced at Xie Yuan and saw that she was still full of energy and drive, so he asked aloud:
"Aren't you afraid?... We are only 11 years old, no, today is your birthday, and I am not yet 11 years old. If they catch you later, you are likely to die first, and I have to be taken to my Die in front of father..."

Xie Yuan's phoenix eyes turned white due to the light from the crack of the door, she frowned, her already powerful eyebrows immediately became sharper, and she squinted at him.Youxian lowered his immature voice and said:
"Do you know that you are the enemy who is currently disturbing the morale of the army. If you are in the army, you will be beheaded?"

Shen Liuzhen's heart trembled, and he felt that Xie Yuan's current appearance was terrible...Of course he was also guilty, and then said pitifully:
"A Yuan... I, am I afraid, just make a joke to strengthen myself."

"Hmph." Xie Yuan gave him a disgusted look.
