Wei Wuhou

Chapter 485

(The normal update will start tomorrow!! This will be busy!)
After walking out of the camp, Wei Wuji got on his horse and left quickly.

In any case, the first test has been passed today, so Wei Wuji's mood is still relaxed.

If it is said that the only thing that makes him feel uncomfortable now is the cold wind that is as sharp as a knife during the speeding process, which makes his face hurt.

Fortunately, there is no snow now, otherwise it would be even more torture.

Because the fighting on the Great Wall had ceased, the peasants who had left to avoid the chaos of the war had returned to their homes at this time, so Wei Wuji saw several cooking smokes along the way.

However, after all, after large-scale chaos, it is not uncommon for tragedies of displacement to occur.

And this incident just made Wei Wuji encounter a place where seven or eight men, women and children lay lying down in the haystacks on the snowy roadside.

According to the preliminary judgment, it can be determined that this should be a complete family, but now they are all facing death.

When encountering this kind of thing, Wei Wuji hesitated for a while and decided to take care of it, because there were many soldiers watching behind him.

So he reined in the reins and ordered the soldiers to rush to rescue, trying to save a few people.

But the fact is very cruel. According to the news sent by the soldiers, all the people in the haystack died.

"Young master, there is still a living here!"

At this moment, the shouts of soldiers came from not far away, and then a naked "person" was dragged out. At this time, he was still curled up as before when he fainted.

Looking at the person in front of him, Wei Wuji felt somewhat shocking, this is the real status of the people at the bottom.

And what he sees now may be one of the tragedies of thousands of families.This is true for a powerful country like Wei, but one can imagine what will happen to those small countries that have been exploited more severely.

It was said before that the life of the people on the grassland was difficult, but now it seems that the people in the Great Wall are not much better.

But at this time, after a simple arrangement by the soldiers, the basic situation of the person in front of him was already able to be distinguished.This is a boy who is only fifteen or sixteen years old. At this time, he is not only trapped in the cold, but also endures unbearable hunger.

When the boy was awakened by the soldiers, he shouted "hungry" and "hungry" incoherently...

Then some soldiers took out their military rations, and the best jerky was handed to the young man's mouth.

Just smelling the smell of meat, the boy snatched the dried meat out of human instinct, and then quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

The sudden burst of power amazed the soldier who handed out the jerky, secretly thinking that this young man's life was tough.

But after swallowing a few mouthfuls of meat indiscriminately, the boy stopped suddenly, and then burst into tears.

Because at this time, he saw the family that had been put aside, including his parents, and his brothers and sisters with great affection.

"Ah... ah... father, mother... sister..."

Although the boy didn't cry very loudly because of his lack of energy, the soldiers present felt choked up in their hearts. No one would feel good after watching this kind of human tragedy.

Sitting high on the horse, Wei Wuji also sighed at this moment, and then said: "I bought him, I hope he can be buried in peace!"

Wei Wuji's words were naturally carried out immediately, but the young man who was still holding the jerky in his hand staggered towards him, wiping the icicles off his family's face with his hands.

Seeing his appearance, the soldiers in front of him persuaded him one after another: "Young man, your family members are already dead, so don't let them suffer from hunger and cold again!"

Afterwards, some soldiers dug holes beside the road, and it didn't take long to dig out several earth holes, and the boy was also pulled aside.

It was a simple burial, and the only one who shed tears was the heartbroken young man. The family failed to live together properly when they died, but they were all buried together after death.

"Why are you crying? Could it be that your father and brother will come back to life if you cry?" At this moment, Zheng Dali, who had never said a word, couldn't help but finally asked.

His rough voice did not frighten the young man, he only heard the young man say: "The people who are not your closest relatives are in trouble, how can you understand the boy's mood!"

But this time Zheng Dali was not worried, he only heard him say in a deep voice: "When I was not as old as you, I was alone..."

Having said this, Zheng Dali did not continue to talk.But this also made Wei Wuji understand that Zheng Dali would pay attention to this young man today, probably because of empathy.

But the boy didn't stop, still crying loudly on the ground, and then watched the small mounds in front of him slowly build up.

Perhaps because he couldn't stand it, Zheng Dali jumped off the horse, and then walked in front of the boy.Seeing that the commander was coming, the surrounding soldiers quickly moved out of the way one by one.

Grabbing the boy by the collar, Zheng Dali lifted the boy up aggressively, then glared at him viciously.

"Why are you crying, a man is a man, don't shed tears when he bleeds!" This is a sentence that Wei Wuji often hangs on his lips, and it was said by Zheng Dali at this time.

Maybe it was frightened by Zheng Dali's aura, the boy actually closed his mouth obediently, but the tears in the corners of his eyes would eventually be uncontrollable.

After all, he is a young man, how can he control his emotions when he encounters a sudden change?

But Zheng Dali didn't take any further action at this time, he just asked, "What's your name?"

The boy didn't answer, and after receiving Zheng Dali's slap on the head, he answered honestly: "Shutu!"

But seeing that the boy called Shutu was still crying, Zheng Dali suddenly said angrily: "I'm crying and take your head off..."

Seeing this scene, Wei Wuji stopped and said, "Dali, stop!"

This time Zheng Dali didn't make any more moves, but slipped Shu Tuti under Wei Wuji's horse, threw it to the ground before saying to him: "This is your savior, His Royal Highness, Prince of the Great Wei Kingdom!"

Shutu didn't hear the other words, but he caught the word "savior", and then Shutu knelt down on the ground, crying repeatedly: "Thank you for saving my life, thank you, sir!"

Wei Wuji was not proud of being provoked, at this moment his heart was also very heavy, he just said to the young man in front of the horse: "Get up, live well in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Wei Wuji turned his horse's head, which meant to leave, and after turning around, he said: "Leave him some food, let's go!"

But at this moment, the young man Shu Tu staggered two steps after him, prostrated himself on the ground and said, "My benefactor, stay here, I'm homeless, please accept me!"

The young man can see this clearly, knowing that if he stays alone, the hope of surviving is still very slim.

But Wei Wuji didn't express his opinion, but said: "We don't want waste here, if you can keep up, come here!"

Then Wei Wuji rode away, and the rest of the guards put on their horses one by one, and after throwing down their fur coats and food for Juvenile Tree, they all left in one go.

Only Zheng Dali stayed at the end, and said to the young man: "This is a test given to you by the young master, if you are a man, follow up by yourself!"

Then Zheng Dali also urged the horses to leave. He didn't blame Wei Wuji for his cold-blooded indifference, because saving the young man was actually quite interesting.

After all, people in this world cannot be saved, if this young man does not live up to his expectations, then there is nothing to say.

At this time, Shu Tu, who was still standing there, kowtowed a few times to his grave, and then resolutely rushed to the direction where Wei Wuji and others left.

While on his way, Shu Tu put on the leather jacket given to him by the soldiers, and stuffed the remaining dried meat into his mouth.
