Chapter 4: Massacre

A pile of new graves had risen on the grassland, and Yun Xiao had sapped the dirt with sapper shovels. ate a can of canned beef and fed some more to Xiaobai. The little guy liked the taste of the canned Merlin almost instantly, and chirped with one paw to eat the canned food. Then he screamed and asked Yun Xiao for water to drink, and his cute appearance somewhat calmed Yun Xiao's chaotic thoughts.

I found some Yunnan Baiyao ointment and applied it to my thighs, and attached my sleeping bag to the horse's back, and then climbed back onto the horse.

With the barrier of the sleeping bag, it feels much more comfortable.

In the evening, Yunxiao suffered a sudden rainfall. The wind and rain on the grassland came quickly, and before the clouds came, they put on their one-piece raincoats, and the raindrops of soybeans had already fallen. There was a curtain of water hanging between heaven and earth, and the temperature plummeted and the clouds shivered and rejoiced, compared with the possible cold, the sabre of the Huns was more terrible. Heavy rain overnight was enough to destroy the trail of the clouds, and it also hindered the speed of the pursuers.

After a night of driving in the rain, Yun Xiao felt that his throat was very dry, his head was a little dizzy, and he had a fever as expected. After crossing a dense grass, Yun Xiao finally saw the field.

Farming is a means of livelihood for the Han family for thousands of years, and the peaceful Han people do not like to loot, but like to ask for grain from the earth, and every harvest is the income of labor. Compared with those herders who like to plunder, fertile land is the trace of human civilization.

A girl of six or seven years old, with a little boy of four or five years old, was digging wild vegetables on the edge of the ridge, and in the early spring, no one had enough food to eat.

Yun Xiao was dizzy for a while, where there is a field, there is a city, and if you enter the city, you will be safe. The horse ran towards the two children, and the little boy looked stupidly at the tall horse running towards him. The frightened little girl dragged the little boy to run for her life, and she didn't even have time to pick up the basket of wild vegetables.

Yun Xiao felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning, and he wanted to open his mouth to shout in a swollen voice, but he couldn't pronounce a single syllable. I wanted to shake my arm to say hello, but I found that my arm was as soft as two noodles, and I couldn't lift it.

"Poof." Yun Xiao's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

The green light was like a bean, and a cold moonlight spilled into the room through a hole in the wall. An old woman with gray hair pushed the cardinal down, drops of sweat shining in the cold moonlight under the coarse cloth turban.

The cardinal pushed down and weaved a thread of cloth. There was only a clicking sound in the rammed loess room, and the silence was a little terrible.

The first to find out that Yun Xiao woke up was Xiao Bai, the little guy was lying quietly beside Yun Xiao, and saw Yun Xiao wake up and gently lick Yun Xiao's nose with a barbed tongue.

Yun Xiao tried to speak, but his swollen throat was so sore that he couldn't say a word. It was as if the strength of the whole body had been drained, and only the strength to breathe was left.

Xiaobai's movements alarmed the old woman, and the old woman got up and walked over.

"You came from the Huns?"

Yun Xiao nodded with difficulty.

"What a wreck."

The old woman wiped away a handful of tears, and Yun Xiao pointed to the rucksack in the corner. The old woman took the rucksack, and Yun Xiao used all her strength to pull the pull spring and took out two pieces of paracetamol.

The old woman was very surprised by the design of the zipper, and Yun Xiao pointed to the coarse porcelain bowl on the mat again.

I swallowed the paracetamol with cold water, and the stimulation of the cold water made the swollen throat much more comfortable. Yun Xiao fell asleep again, paracetamol is very effective in reducing fever, and it is a necessary medicine for jungle exploration.

Feeling cold on his face, Yun Xiao opened his eyes. The old woman was still spinning and looked at the hole in the wall, where the sky was already bright. My whole body was sore, and I was so uncomfortable that I was going to die. Xiao Bai was wet and was scratching Yun Xiao's face with his muddy claws.

Seeing that Yun Xiao did not move, Xiaobai ran to the old woman. He took two steps to the door, called out to the old woman a few times, and walked out again. It was clearly telling the old woman to follow it.

The old woman stood up suspiciously, pounded her sore lumbar vertebrae, and followed Xiaobai out. Yun Xiao in a daze was woken up again by the cheers of the children, and the two children were talking loudly. The old woman scolded loudly, as if she was afraid of waking Yun Xiao. I tried to move, but I still didn't have any strength in my body, and the sweat was still rising.

After a while, the smell of fish came from the courtyard. A six- or seven-year-old girl, dressed in coarse cloth and with two braided eyebrows and eyes, walked in with a porcelain bowl.

Yun Xiao had a long mouth, but he was still speechless.

The warm fish soup was fed into the mouth spoonful by spoon, and there was a grassy smell, which should be because there was no oil and salt.

After a large piece of fishy fish meat was swallowed, Yun Xiao felt that his body was no longer sweating, and he also had some energy.

Suddenly, there was confusion outside, and a woman's voice was rapidly speaking something in dialect. Yun Xiao was stunned and didn't hear clearly.

Several women, who were also old, opened the door made of firewood and grass and dragged Yun Xiao into the courtyard. Remove a water tank to reveal a black hole. He threw Yun Xiao in. Yun Xiao saw a younger woman riding the four horses that Yun Xiao had brought back and ran lifeless into the woods.

The hole in the ground is not big, and after Yun Xiao landed, he fell like a falling apart. Suddenly, the entrance of the cave went dark, and something slammed down with a thud. It was smashed on Yun Xiao's chest, and Yun Xiao almost didn't lose his breath.

Two more people came down, and from the blurred figure it was two dolls.

The hole was closed with a bang, followed by the sound of the water tank being moved. It seemed to be chaotic outside, people were neighing on their backs, and the sound of cries and screams came down through the ground. Then there was a hint of smoke and fire from the ground.

I don't know how long it took for the tank to finally be opened. The woman who had been running on horseback stood at the entrance of the cave and pulled Yun Xiao and the two children up one by one.

The thatched hut was still smoking, and several corpses lay on the ground. None of them were whole, and the arms and thighs were thrown one in the east and one in the west. The blue-gray human intestines were hung from the trees, and all the corpses were decapitated. Blood stained almost the entire courtyard, and the dry bark was black and sticky.

The middle-aged woman's corpses were gathered in the east and west, and they were too fragmented because they had no heads. The corpses were piled up in a pile.

Yun Xiao stared blankly at the qi in front of him, he never thought that the killing of the Han people by the grassland people would be so bloody. The scenes that I had only seen in textbooks before were so shocking to appear vividly in front of me. Yun Xiao couldn't understand why humans would commit such crimes against their own kind.

The two children were surprisingly calm, not crying or making trouble. Following the middle-aged woman to gather the corpses, the young man dragged a thigh on the ground and walked, looking indescribably strange in Yun Xiao's eyes.

In later generations, they were not even old enough to enter elementary school, but now they are burying their bodies with their hands.

Yun Xiao turned out the sapper shovel and silently began to dig a pit. Since you have to face this reality when you come to this world, only the strong can survive in this world.

Several people worked together to dig a large pit and bury the body.

Xiaobai didn't know where he came from, and looked around nervously, looking very nervous, obviously frightened.

Yun Xiao opened his backpack and was about to take out a ham sausage to comfort Xiaobai, he remembered that there should be one left in this thing.

"Smack." A small wooden sign fell to the ground. Yun Xiao was about to pick it up, and the middle-aged woman next to him snatched it as if she had seen gold.

"Where did you get this sign?"

The middle-aged woman had a thick accent, and she spoke it twice before she could hear it clearly.

"This is an old man I met on the side of the Huns, and he was killed by the Huns."

The middle-aged woman held the wooden sign with tears in her eyes, and she had never seen her cry so sadly after collecting so many corpses just now.

"According to what you said, it should be my father-in-law."

The middle-aged woman placed the plaque above the grave and prostrated with her two children.

"Our village is called Weijia Village, and there used to be more than 20 households and more than 100 people. A few years ago, the Huns invaded the border, and the old and young in the village were arrested, and only a dozen of us who hid in the mountains were lucky enough not to be plundered. Unexpectedly, I suffered such a disaster again today. How can I live in the future? ”

"Auntie, you saved my life. In the future, if I have a bite to eat, you will be indispensable. ”

Four men and four horses walked towards the horse. It was a fortress on the edge of the Great Wall, and it was relatively safe to be garrisoned by Han troops.

"Auntie, your surname."

"You can call me Aunt Wei, these two babies, the female baby is called Wei Ya, and the male baby is called Qing'er, they are all children of the old family."

"Wei Qing! Then his sister won't be Wei Zifu? ”

Yun Xiao's head was dizzy again, and he almost fell off his horse.
