Chapter 107: The Lady in the Universe Looks for Her Husband
The Xu family's home was as quiet as ever, as if nothing had changed since they left. After checking inside and outside the house and making sure that Hu Bing hadn't come in again, Li Yaoguang and Shen Yue quickly went to the top of the cellar, one on guard while the other moved the overhead shielding away. At their feet, there were two furry creatures that had emerged from nowhere.
"Desheng, Black Whirlwind, go aside and don't get in the way."
Being kicked lightly by Li Yaoguang's foot, Desheng wagged his tail in a dog-like manner. It took a loud roar from Black Whirlwind to call this guy aside.
The entrance to the cellar was finally cleaned, and almost at the moment the cellar door was opened, the four people below looked up at the same time.
"Sister Guang, have you found your Uncle Xu?"
"Sister Guang, are you okay?"
Li Yaoguang, who failed to find anyone, did not say a word, but climbed down to the cellar under the expectant gaze of Xu's mother and son. In the dimly lit cellar, he secretly gave his uncle a reassuring look, and then said to Xu's mother and son.
"Madam Xu, we didn't find Uncle Xu, but all the Hu soldiers in the village have been killed. The elders and the village chief are taking the surviving villagers to the threshing ground to count the number of people. If Uncle Xu is alright, he must be there too."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu hurriedly thanked Li Yaoguang, and led her two children to climb up the cave entrance and go to the village threshing ground. The cellar suddenly became much quieter.
Li Yaoguang was just about to help his uncle up, but Shen Yue, who had been on guard there, followed him and climbed down.
Li Yaoguang was still wondering why he came down, when he saw this guy approaching and said, "Brother Cheng, the ladder is steep and you have difficulty walking. I will help you up."
Cheng Su looked at his tiny niece, then looked at Shen Yue, and decisively reached out and put his hand on Shen Yue's arm, "Okay, thank you for your help."
Compared with my own children, it is still harder for other children, not to mention his legs...
When he rushed to Xu's house in the chaos, his injured leg was injured again. He checked it secretly in the cellar and found that the situation was not good. He could not use any strength at the moment. He was just holding on before his niece left, and now he was afraid of being discovered.
Cheng Su gritted his teeth and was brought to the ground by Shen Yue with difficulty. When he didn't see his family when he got up, Cheng Su became anxious.
"Sister Guang, where are your aunt and brother Yang? Didn't they say that all the Hu Di were killed? Why can't we see them? Could it be that..."
Seeing his uncle's face turn pale, Li Yaoguang quickly comforted him, "No, no, uncle, my aunt and the others are fine, I'll bring them down right away."
Just now, Madam Xu and her three daughters were here. When she hid the people, she had selfish thoughts when the other party asked where they were hiding. This is someone else's home, so she always felt guilty.
Busy to comfort her uncle, Li Yaoguang quickly ran to the back of the main house in front, put out a ladder and climbed up. Seeing that the covering was intact, she felt relieved. She also saw a thin layer of mist and ice beads rising above. Li Yaoguang quickly put away the lambskin spread, instantly revealing two people below who were looking at her with wide eyes. Her aunt was holding the butcher knife that he had stuffed into her hand, looking defensive.
When they saw that it was them, the mother and son finally felt relieved.
"Guang'er, are you okay?"
The little one in her arms also shouted happily, "Cousin!"
Li Yaoguang reached out to pull them and touched their hands. "Aunt Yang, are you all right? Are you cold? You are really amazing. I was right in front of you and you didn't say a word."
Yu Meixue was stunned by her niece's question and couldn't help muttering, "My son, didn't you tell us not to make any noise no matter what?" God had pity on her. She and her son had been staying upstairs for half the night and didn't dare to turn over or even breathe deeply.
Seeing his aunt's expression, Li Yaoguang suddenly realized that it was still his fault.
Blame her! She was so crazy that she forgot about this matter and quickly begged for mercy. "Hehehe, okay, auntie, I was wrong, please forgive me."
Yu Meixue glanced at Li Yaoguang in a reproachful manner, "You are just too concerned. Yang Ge'er and I are fine. The white pieces you pasted on us are magical. I'm afraid they are the treasures your master gave you. They are still warm now. We are not cold at all. Don't worry."
"Okay, I feel relieved now. Come on, auntie, my uncle is waiting for us downstairs. Let's go down quickly."
Hearing that her husband was still waiting for her downstairs, Yu Meixue, who had been worried all night, finally felt relieved. She nodded repeatedly, protected her son and climbed down. Li Yaoguang, who stayed behind at the end, collected the damp quilt in the snow pit and followed him down.
After retracting the ladder, he led the men to the front yard. The two people in the yard saw them from a distance and came to greet them.
When the two sides met, they were all happy to have survived a disaster, and then they went to the village threshing ground together. No matter what, they had to go and take a look.
Walking through the devastated village, the bustle of the past was long gone. What they didn't know was that the threshing ground, filled with corpses, was now filled with cries of grief.
It is said that Mrs. Xu, leading her children, ran to the threshing ground, and this was the scene she saw.
She had no time to be afraid of the corpses, nor to comfort the familiar tribesmen who survived the disaster. She searched quickly among the survivors without blinking, trying to find her husband.
One circle, two circles, three circles... Unfortunately, she looked again and again, searched over and over again, but still couldn't find her husband. Madam Xu was anxious, her hands were shaking with panic, and she kept comforting herself in her heart, no, no, while trying to calm herself, she saw the tribe leader who was directing the young and strong men to carefully count the bodies of Hu Di in the threshing ground, and the village head who was writing and drawing with paper and pen. Madam Xu's eyes lit up, and she rushed over, so anxious that she didn't even care about the pair of frightened children beside her.
"Uncle San, Uncle Qi, have you ever met my husband?"
Seeing Madam Xu running towards them in a hurry, the two leaders showed joy on their faces. Especially when they saw that Xu Miaoniang and Xu Yi, who were staggering towards Madam Xu behind her, were still alive, they felt a little relieved and secretly felt lucky to be alive.
But when Madam Xu asked them about their husbands, they paused for a moment, and the corners of their lips that had just been raised froze, and then slowly disappeared.
How should they say this? Thinking of what happened before the incident, they felt really guilty.
The clan leader looked at the village head, the village head looked at the clan leader again, the two looked at each other, and finally the younger village head came forward.
"Guangji's, that, that..."
"Well, what? Uncle Qi, where is my husband? Did you and Uncle San arrange for him to go and treat the tribesmen? Where is he?"
Madam Xu couldn't wait to hear what was said, so she interrupted the head of the village and shouted out her hopes.
However, he didn't expect that the two old men in front of him had such bitter expressions on their faces. Finally, the clan leader hardened his heart, secretly saying that a short pain is worse than a long one, and closed his eyes and said to Madam Xu's mother.
"Guangji's family, it's all the uncles' fault. We shouldn't have ignored Guangji's advice and didn't take the fact that Hu Di broke through the pass and ravaged Dajing seriously. You, ah, you mourn for me, Guangji..."
