Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 11 Hot-Blooded and Cold-blooded

The old and weak refugees who were watching were whispering to each other, with expressions of surprise on their faces, and the buzzing voices of discussion merged into a sound wave.

"What's going on here?"

"I heard that the bandits have invaded Potian and are attacking. Lord Guerrilla is going to lead troops to suppress the bandits!"

"How could this happen? Do we still need to live?" Immediately, a refugee woman and child cried bitterly, "The boss has just entered the camp and is about to go into battle?"

"You only ate one meal of military rations, do you have to pay for it with your life today?"

First one person cried, then dozens, then hundreds, and finally there were cries on both sides of the official road.

However, the officers and soldiers drew their swords in their hands and glanced fiercely at the refugees on both sides of the road, but no refugee dared to attack the marching queue.

On the other hand, some of the young refugees walking in the middle of the team also began to cry. In return, they were scolded and whipped by the soldiers on both sides.

There was a young man who didn't know how to look. He kept crying and kept mumbling that he was no longer a soldier of this poor soldier. He didn't want to fight. He turned around and rushed out of the team.

He had some brute strength and was unexpected, knocking down several soldiers.

However, there were scattered cavalry on the outside of the team running back and forth to suppress the team. Immediately, a cavalryman drew his saber, rode over, and passed by the young man.

With just a slight twitch of the wrist, the big head rolled in the sky along with the pillar of blood. The young headless corpse fell heavily to the ground, and the hot blood stained the loess road.

The head fell to the ground, rolled around, and landed in a pile of homeless people. The people were so frightened that they immediately dispersed into a clearing.

Soon some archers rushed over, grabbed the head, and put it on a spear. The cavalry held the long pole and spread it throughout the team to warn up and down.

This time, even the cries of the refugees on both sides of the road were muted by three points.

"No!" Lu Ye frowned.

He observed that the refugees who were trapped by the soldiers were still wearing rags and rags. They had not even changed into soap clothes. They had empty hands and did not have a dog-beating stick. What kind of bandits were they suppressing?

Wang Hu came closer, his teeth chattering.

"Brother, this is a bit evil!"

"Going to the battlefield empty-handed, I'm afraid these young men will suffer!"

Lu Ye said: "Just wait and see what happens."

He had a bad idea in his head, but he wasn't sure.

Who knows where the bottom line of this alien official is?

When the long queue disappeared on the official road and the city gate was closed, the gathered refugees could only disperse, and the shacks were filled with suppressed cries.

Lu Ye noticed that the female walls of the city were almost filled with strong men holding instruments.

Perhaps because there were too many soldiers sent out for conscription, there were not enough soldiers left to cover the city wall, and there were many more government officials on the wall.

In addition, there were even many slaves wearing small hats and green clothes who came to the city with sticks.

There were dozens of wealthy family heads wearing brocade clothes and jade belts standing on the parapet, accompanied by an official in red robes, pointing at the refugee shacks outside the city wall.

Lu Zhi's uneasiness became even stronger.

"Come on, Huzi," he said suddenly, "let's change our shack."

"This is too close to the city, so go to the river to get water."

Wang Hu said reluctantly.

"Brother, that's too far. When the relief porridge is released, I'm afraid I'll only be able to grab a few mouthfuls."

Lu Ye insisted on his opinion, but Wang Hu had no choice, so the two left the shack where they had slept for the night, found a shallow pit by the river, found a few dead branches to build a shelf, and took off the layers of clothes they were wearing. The next thing to hang is to act as a cover.

Wang Hu couldn't lie down in the pit, so he went out to look out from time to time, anxiously waiting for the government to release disaster relief porridge.

As a result, when the sun was high in the sky, not even a hair was seen.

The refugees gathered outside the moat and suddenly started making noises. In the past, there should have been government officials pushing the porridge cart out an hour ago.

However, all the young and strong among the refugees were taken away by the conscripts, leaving only the old and the weak. The officers and soldiers guarding the long bridge just drew their swords and cursed a few times, and suppressed the commotion.

Wang Hu squeezed out from the refugees, ran back and complained to Lu Ye, who was lying flat in the pit with his eyes closed.

"Brother, had I known I would have listened to you and not joined in the fun."

"I heard people say that all the city guards were sent to attack Chuang Po Tian today. We don't have enough manpower. We will wait until evening to give out porridge."

Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He took a few deep breaths and felt that his eyelids were beating violently and his heart felt like a stone was weighing on him.

"Huzi, let's go, cross the river, and go back. Let's go up the mountain first."

Wang Hu was stunned.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"Don't you want to drink porridge tonight?"

Lu Ye shook his head.

"Huzi, I'm afraid there won't be any porridge at night."

Wang Hu frowned and murmured.

"That's right. If you can't spare manpower during the day, will you have enough manpower at night?"

"Maybe it's just another long wait..."

"But brother, why do you have to change places to waste your energy? Why don't you wait here?"

Lu Zhiyi had a guess, but he always felt that the guess was a bit shocking, and he couldn't tell Wang Hu to persuade him.

Now Wang Hu is a man with proven character and responsible for the force. The two have lived together all the way, and he will never abandon Wang Hu.

He rolled his eyes and had no choice but to evade, saying that if he went back to the mountain, he might meet some kind-hearted people like the refugees who blocked the road yesterday, and he would give them two hard buns to eat.

Wang Hu's eyes lit up. He could accept Lu Ye's explanation. However, he was reluctant to give up the porridge for disaster relief. He insisted that he could only go to the foot of the mountain across the river and could not go any further. Once the porridge was released in the city, he might still be able to drink it warmly when he ran back.

Seeing Wang Hu's persistence, Lu Ye stopped persuading him.

It would be good to run to the foot of the mountain, at least stay away from this city.

So the two of them crossed the river and walked towards the foot of the mountain where they came yesterday.

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, there was a wind blowing from the other side of the mountain, vaguely mixed with the cries of countless people, the sounds of horses neighing, people roaring, and the sound of metal colliding.

Lu Ye and Wang Hu stood still, listening carefully with surprised expressions on their faces.

However, the strong wind blew only once and then disappeared, including those sounds.

Wang Hu forced a smile.

"Brother, I may be so hungry that my ears can't work. I seem to hear some noise."

Lu Ye: "I heard it too, maybe the officers and soldiers were confronting Chuang Potian?"

Affected by this, Wang Hu's mood also became depressed. He didn't notice that Lu Ye led him to hide behind a dead tree with a thick waist beside the dirt road at the foot of the mountain.

While waiting in the afternoon, Wang Hu fell asleep unconsciously.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly the sound of horse hooves rumbled loudly.

Wang Hu opened his eyes so hard that he woke up and realized that the sun was almost setting in the sky, dyeing the earth as bright as blood.

Lu Ye was concentrating on hiding behind the tree and staring at the dirt road. As soon as Wang Hu got up, Lu Ye immediately turned his head. His face was frighteningly serious. He made a silent gesture to him, and then waved to him with a serious expression to let him sneak out. look.

Wang Hu felt scared for no reason. He stuck his head out like Lu Ye and immediately took a breath of air.

Only on the dirt road.

The officers and soldiers who went out to fight in the morning returned victorious,

The general rode a big horse with his head held high and his belly protruding. There were several heads hanging under the horse's neck, and the blood dyed the long hair on the horse's temples red.

The personal guards behind him all followed suit, and they were all arrogant and extremely proud.

A long queue of infantrymen held up long spears, with several dead heads on them like skewers, and the barrels of the rifles were soaked with blood.

The team dragged the old man and walked for a long time before passing by the dead tree where Lu Ye and Wang Hu were hiding.

only……

Wang Hu said in surprise behind the tree, lowering his voice.

"Brother, look, the officers and soldiers won the battle...but why are the young and strong refugees following them? Why are none of them missing?"

He suddenly thought of something and asked with a look of horror.

"Could it be that they all died on the battlefield and are all gone?"

Lu Ye snorted coldly and pointed at the long guns held high by the soldiers in the distance. The heads on the gun barrels were like red candied haws skewers.

"Huzi, look out, they are all here."

"Aren't those heads all on spears?"

Wang Hu was startled and suddenly sat down on the ground, sweating all over.

He murmured - impossible, impossible...

The officers and soldiers over there crossed the shallow bend of the river.

The refugees gathered around him, and immediately started crying loudly without waiting for their son, husband, and brothers.

Suddenly a cannon sounded from the top of the city.

The city gates are wide open.

A large group of soldiers, mixed with government servants and slaves, rushed across the long bridge with swords and guns and shouted loudly, and crashed into the crowd of refugees waiting to be given porridge, causing large flowers of blood to bloom.

As for the officers and soldiers who had just crossed the river, the general gave an order, and the cavalry rushed towards the refugees on horseback, trampling them wantonly and plowing bloody traces in the dense crowd.

Wang Hu's lips trembled as he watched, and his eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"Why...why on earth is this..."

"We just want to be slaves and have enough to eat."

"Master said that the government will provide disaster relief and comfort the people..."

Lu Ye saw many refugees fleeing across the river. Many cavalry and archers followed them across the river and chased them across the river, working together to strangle them.

The cries gradually approached the direction where they were hiding.

Lu Ye saw that Wang Hu was still alive.

Snapped!

He slapped Wang Hu directly in the face, grabbed Wang Hu's clothes with one hand and roared, and stuffed the wooden stick into the opponent's arms with the other hand.

"Huzi, wake up!"

"Don't listen to your master, he has left you and run away!"

"Listen to my brother from now on!" Lu Ye's facial features were distorted and his voice was sad, "These bastards want our brothers to die if they don't give us a way to survive!"

He swept across with his long stick, and the cold and cracked dagger tied to the end pointed straight ahead.

"Huzi, if you want to survive in troubled times, you must listen to your elder brother and fuck your mother first!"

　The contract has been signed, please rest assured...please collect, vote, and read...Thank you!
