Chapter 103: Hell Wherever You Go
But where can I hide?
Roof?
No! Don't say she was selfish. If she had arrived before Hu Di entered the village to kill, she might have found a roof for the three of them to hide.
But now, the whole village was in chaos, with Hu Di everywhere. She didn't dare to bet whether there were eyes in the dark that would see and notice it, let alone block them who were already frightened and hope that they could withstand the fear after climbing onto the roof without being discovered by Hu Di and exposing the people she cared about.
So sorry, since it concerns her family, she doesn't want to take any risk at all. Li Yaoguang kept reminding herself over and over in her heart that selfishness and survival are the best ways to go. She forced herself to harden her heart and shook her head.
"Sister Miao Niang, Xujia Village is your village. I am not familiar with this place. You have to think about where in the village is safe to hide." instead of asking me.
Such an answer made Xu Miaoniang despair instantly. She could no longer bear her fear and fell to the ground with her buttocks. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed bitterly, "How could this happen? Wuuwuwu, mother, I'm so scared, mother..."
How could she, a girl from a small family who never left her house, know what was going on in the village, and where to hide? This was going to kill her!
Just as Xu Miaoniang was sobbing and crying, and Mrs. Xu was hugging her son and daughter in a daze, suddenly, the half-closed door behind them was kicked with a loud bang.
Li Yaoguang was startled and immediately rolled over with the knife in hand and hid behind the big tree she had climbed before. Her whole body was tense and alert, and she took a defensive posture. Her movements were so fast that everyone who came in one after another was surprised.
The visitor Cheng Su: Is this his niece?
The visitor Shen Yue said: The little girl is really sharp and worthy of her special skills.
Just as he was thinking behind the tree whether he should just take out the crossbow and poison crossbow given by Brother Gao and kill his way out, regardless of whether he would be exposed in front of outsiders, he heard a familiar shout in his ears.
"Sister Guang, is that you?"
This is? "Uncle?"
Li Yaoguang quickly stuck her head out and saw that the person coming was indeed her uncle. She was so happy that she rushed over with a knife in hand.
"Uncle is so kind, are you not hurt?"
"My son, are you okay?"
When relatives meet, they greet each other in the same way.
Cheng Su, who survived the disaster, looked Li Yaoguang up and down and found that his children were safe and sound. He finally relaxed, but without his wife and children, he felt anxious again.
"Sister Guang, your aunt and the others?"
Li Yaoguang was stunned for a moment, then patted her uncle's arm in a soothing manner. Just as she was about to answer, she discovered that her uncle had a simple wooden stick with a triangular fork tucked under his armpit. She was stunned: "What is this?"
Cheng Su followed her gaze and understood. He nodded at the man who had bolted the door behind him and was defending cautiously with a long sword in hand. "Oh, this thing was made for me temporarily by General Shen. Otherwise, I, your uncle, would not be able to escape tonight."
"Oh." Li Yaoguang nodded and cast a grateful look at Shen Yue who was approaching, "Thank you."
Shen Yue was stunned and felt surprised. After all, this little girl had never treated him well for such a long time. Even when he tried to save her, she looked at him with disgust.
Shen Yue was flattered. It was the first time he felt uncomfortable. He raised his hand and touched his nose and explained dryly, "It was used by injured soldiers in the army before."
Uh, this reply was so stupid that he even wanted to hit himself, luckily his benefactor came to the rescue in time.
"Okay, Guangjie, now is not the time to talk about this. Where are your aunt and the others?" Li Yaoguang was quick-witted and quickly pinched her uncle's arm through his clothes. She turned her back to her mother and blinked, and whispered quickly, "Don't worry."
Cheng Su understood and stopped asking questions.
It just so happened that Madam Xu and her three daughters had calmed down. They saw that the injured Cheng Su and Shen Yue, who lived at the end of the alley, had come, but their husband was nowhere to be seen. Thinking that the end of the village was not far away from the alley, Madam Xu came up to ask out of concern.
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Shen, have you seen my husband? My husband is patrolling at the end of the village tonight. Did you see him when you came?"
The two people being asked were stunned, and then shook their heads.
"Sorry sister-in-law."
"Not seen."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu staggered and was about to fall, but was held up by Li Yaoguang.
"Ms. Xu, be careful."
Madam Xu struggled to push Li Yaoguang away, put down her son in her arms, and held onto Shen Yue and Cheng Su, begging and crying.
"Wuwuwu, Mr. Cheng, Mr. Shen, I know you are both capable people. Please, for the sake of my husband and I's dedication to you in the past, please help us, my mother and I, to find my husband. I beg you, I beg you..."
Xu Miaoniang and Xu Yi, who had no backbone, saw their mother kneeling down, so they also knelt down and begged, which made Cheng Su and Shen Yue at a loss for a moment.
Li Yaoguang couldn't bear to see her uncle in trouble, and she didn't want him to take risks, but when she saw the three women in front of her, and thought about how Dr. Xu had accepted and helped their family without hesitation, she couldn't say no.
Even Shen Yue knew that his life was probably not saved by Doctor Xu. After all, when Doctor Xu changed the bandages for him later, he was unable to do anything with the strange thing on his back. It was only the little girl in front of him who solved the problem. At that time, he knew in his heart that his life was saved by this little girl with special skills in the mouth of his benefactor. However, it did not prevent him from being grateful to Doctor Xu for his careful care and continuous supply of medicine for many days.
What's more, he is Shen Yue, the major general of the Shen family army. It is his duty to defend the country and protect the people.
After thinking about it, Shen Yue and Li Yaoguang made the same decision and said in unison: "I'll go."
After the voice fell, the two looked at each other, but Cheng Su beside them disagreed.
Not to mention that Shen Yue's injury has not fully healed, even if she is just my niece, in this situation, I should love my own child. If she must go, I should go by myself.
Cheng Su insisted on going with his injured leg, but Li Yaoguang refused to give in.
The two sides were in a stalemate, but Li Yaoguang insisted that her uncle was going to fetch her aunt and cousin, and that she was the only one who knew where they were hiding, so she asked him not to cause trouble. Cheng Su had no choice but to remain silent, and was sent down to the cellar with Xu Niangzi and her two daughters in frustration.
To be on the safe side, Li Yaoguang covered the entrance to the cellar tightly. He did not hesitate to expose himself in front of Shen Yue. He used the space to transfer all the grass straw in the house to cover the entrance of the cellar. Then he nodded at someone in the astonished eyes.
Shen Yue came back to his senses, put away his surprise, and responded. The two of them immediately set off with weapons in hand. It was the first time for them to cooperate with each other in such a tacit way. Yaoguang was in the front and Shen Yue was the last. They left the Xu family courtyard silently and quickly went to the back of the village to look for someone.
But things have been uneasy since they set foot out of Xu's house. They could smell blood everywhere on the road, see corpses, and from time to time a Hu soldier would rush out, but they were quickly killed by the two men working together. Looking around, the entire Xujia Village had become a slaughterhouse, and they could not save them at all. They finally sneaked to the end of the village, but before they got close, they could hear the deafening cries of killing and desperate wails from afar. The snow dyed the entire village red, and all they saw was hell.
I'm begging for votes. It's the end of the month, it's overdue, I'm calling my kids home to vote...
