As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he just glanced at the village, Liu Wei reined in the war horse and looked down at Tang Ji who was nestled on his chest.

has already learned from Wang Liu's mouth that the situation in the village must be very miserable, and Liu Wei also has some preparations in his heart.

But he didn't expect that although there were many people in the village, the situation was still depressed.

At the base of almost every house sat a few women and children.

The number of dragoon guards is not very small, more than 500 war horses are marching, and the sound of horses' hooves is still very clear.

The women and children of the village will not fail to hear the sound of horses' hooves.

Standing at the entrance of the village, Liu Wei saw that there was not even a single person in the village who turned his head to look at them.

In the small village, several dragoon guards were walking back and forth, carefully surveying each room.

Although there was still some distance from those dragoons, Liu Wei could see that the expressions on their faces must be very strange.

Almost every dragoon who entered the house would raise their sleeves to cover their nose and mouth, as if the smell was very unpleasant.

Twisting his brows, Liu Wei gently pinched the horse's belly and led the team into the village.

The dragoon guards who stayed in the village to check found that he had entered the village with his men and horses, and hurriedly ran over to meet the team.

When Liu Wei approached, a dragoon guard officer bowed to him with a fist and said: "Your Highness, there are no men in the village, they are all women and children. ”

"How do you know that they are the family members of the Qingzhou Army?" Riding on horseback, Liu Wei asked the dragoon guard who reported the news.

"Many people are covered by the Qingzhou Army!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the dragon rider said to Liu Wei: "This place is close to Songshan, if it is not for winter, there must be some mountain fruits and wild things on the mountain, and it is extremely difficult to make people freeze and starve to death......

"But there are many dead people?" Before the dragoon's words fell, Liu Wei asked a question.

"Exactly!" Maintaining a fist-hugging and bowing posture, the dragoon guard responded.

Riding on horseback, Liu Wei hesitated slightly, turned over and jumped off the warhorse, and walked straight towards the nearest house.

This house is made entirely of adobe and has a straw roof.

Perhaps because of the age of the house, there are large cracks in the adobe walls, and even the doors are a little crooked and not tightly closed.

Tang Ji on horseback saw Liu Wei jump off and wanted to get off the horse, but Liu Wei didn't look back and waved his hand at her.

Seeing him waving his hand, Tang Ji didn't dare to get off the horse, but just stared at his back with worried eyes.

Walking to the door of the house, Liu Wei gently pushed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, a strong stench hit my face.

This stench is not caused by ordinary garbage, but a very strong smell of corpses.

Hurriedly raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and Liu Wei glanced into the room.

In this private house, there are more than a dozen large and small corpses lying horizontally.

I don't know how long the bodies had been piled up in the house, and many of them were so decomposed that they revealed their bones.

Just glanced at the more than a dozen corpses in the house, Liu Wei turned around and left the house.

The two dragoons who followed him hurriedly closed the door as he left the house, masking the strong stench.

Walking a little farther away from the house, Liu Wei still felt that there was a disgusting stench in his nasal cavity.

He raised his sleeve and sniffed it, faintly feeling that his body seemed to be stained with corpse stench.

"But there are corpses in every room?" Taking a deep breath of relatively refreshing air, Liu Biancai asked a few dragoons who had been checking in the village.

"Back to Your Highness, there are them in every room!" The officer who replied earlier clenched his fists, bowed slightly, and said: "The corpses in this room are considered to be few, and in the largest room, there are more than seventy corpses in size, all of them are women and children!" ”

"The battlefield conquest involves the innocent, the crime of this king!" Turning his head to look at the door of the house he had just entered, Liu Wei first said to himself, and then instructed a dragoon guard behind him: "Immediately transfer military medicine practitioners and grain and grass from the nearest place, and send people around to search for the families left behind by the Qingzhou Army, if there are left, and they are all gathered at the foot of Songshan Mountain, so that they can be taken care of!" ”

"No!" The dragoon, who had received the order, answered, and turned to leave the village.

After the dragoon guard left, Liu Wei glanced around the village again.

The village is not very large, with only thirty or twenty families.

Each house has three to four rooms, and under the walls of each room are seven or eight women or children.

These people did not have any emotional fluctuations at all because of the existence of Liu Wei and others, and some people nearby should be able to clearly hear what Liu Wei said.

But they did not express the slightest joy at the imminent rescue.

It has been many days since the defeat of the Qingzhou army, and when their relatives are still alive, they can transfer a batch of grain, grass and materials from the Qingzhou army barracks every month.

The Qin army launched a general attack, and the Qingzhou army completely collapsed in one day.

Of the tens of thousands of troops, only a few hundred survived.

The Qingzhou soldiers who survived, found their families, and they had been taken away from here, although they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, they wouldn't be more difficult than living here.

Looking at the woman and the child sitting against the base of the wall, Liu Wei's brows tightened.

After a moment of silence, he walked towards the nearest house.

At the base of the wall of the house sat eight people, only two of whom were adult women, and the other six were skinny children with no vigor or life.

Walking to the house, Liu Wei squatted down in front of a woman.

The woman had her head down, her face could not be seen clearly, her hair was fluffy and messy, and she smelled of filth.

Liu Wei was not disgusted by the stench on her body, and asked the woman, "Sister-in-law, where are you and others?" ”

The woman did not respond, but remained silent with her head bowed.

"Your Highness is asking you questions!" Seeing that the woman did not squeak, one of the dragoons behind Liu Wei stepped forward, raised his hand to support the woman's chin, and held her face up.

When the woman's face was lifted by the dragoon, Tang Ji, who saw her face and was still riding on a war horse, exclaimed in fright.

No wonder the woman didn't respond to Liu Wei's question, her face was pale, and a bruise appeared on her face, and she had already lost her breath.

Her body had not yet decomposed, apparently not long after she had been dead.

"Earlier...... And the strength...... Bury ......" Just when Liu Wei and the others found that the woman had died, and their faces were full of shock, an extremely weak voice came from the side: "Now it's ...... Placed in the room...... I don't have the strength to ......."

Hearing someone speak, Liu Wei hurriedly looked to the side.

I saw that the woman next to her was bowing her head, her lips were moving, and it was obviously her who spoke.

The woman opened her mouth to speak, and Liu Wei hurriedly stood up, strode to her side, put his hands on her shoulders, straightened her a little, and shouted behind her, "Meat! Water! ”

Wang Liu, who was following behind Liu Wei, heard his shout, and hurriedly ran to the side of the war horse, and took out a piece of dried meat and a water bladder from the cloth bag on the side of the war horse.

"Come on! Drink saliva first! Wang Liu was about to squat down to feed the woman water, when Liu Wei took the water bladder from her hand and put the mouth of the bladder to the woman's mouth.

After feeding the woman and drinking water, Wang Liu on the side pulled out a large piece of meat and was about to stuff it into the woman's mouth.

"No, she doesn't have the strength to chew it!" snatched the dried meat from Wang Liu's hand again, Liu Wei tore off a small strip, put it to her lips, and said softly: "Eat less, it's not too late to speak if you have some strength!" ”

I don't know how long the people in the village have been hungry, and the woman wanted to eat it in thin strips of meat, but she didn't have the strength to take it into her mouth, and finally Liu Wei helped her stuff it.

"Investigate carefully!" While feeding the woman meat, Liu Wei shouted to the dragoon guards who entered the village with him: "All living people, first feed them some water, let them moisten their stomachs, and then give a small amount of meat torn into thin strips!" Don't feed them too quickly, or you'll get stuck! ”

"No!" As soon as Liu Wei gave the order, two or three hundred dragoon guards immediately ran towards those who were leaning against the base of the wall.

The remaining half of the dragoons did not move, but jumped off their horses one after another, pressing their hands on the hilts of their swords, and looking around vigilantly.

Wang Liu was helping Liu Wei feed the woman, but Deng Zhan didn't move.

He pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword, and looked around the village with unblinking eyes.

In addition to the dead bodies, the living people in the village were women and children who had lost their strength from hunger.

It is completely impossible for these people to pose any threat to Liu Wei, but Deng Zhan has an extremely strong uneasiness in his heart.

The uneasiness in his heart came from the intuition of a swordsman.

A keen instinct for approaching danger!

There must be something dormant in the small village, not just these dying people, but the dragoons who had entered the village earlier did not notice it.

Deng Zhan looked around, but he didn't see it, just in the haystack behind a private house, a pair of eyes were staring at Liu Wei without blinking.

Liu Wei jumped off the war horse, and after finding the living person, he personally fed water and meat, and all fell into this person's sight.

Hibernating in the grass, staring at Liu Wei, he didn't even move.

He has seen a lot of Haoxiong, but he has never seen someone like Liu Wei who does not abandon filth and personally feeds a dying former enemy family.

King Qin never hesitated to kill people.

On the battlefield, the Qin army also pursued the purpose of leaving absolutely no prisoners before the end of the war.

Unless the war comes to an end, the Qin army will leave prisoners behind, and in the course of the battle, even if the enemy surrenders, they will be slaughtered.

It was the King of Qin, who had such an army under his command, who revealed the softness of his heart when facing women and children who were powerless to resist and were about to freeze and starve to death.
