It was dark in the dark tunnel, Bei Ran leaned against the cold stone wall, hugged his knees and sobbed quietly in a corner, a mouse passed by her, he was not afraid of people at all, and squeaked at her several times, North Ran reflexively bounced off the ground to avoid it a few steps away, and suddenly realized that it was not safe here, she couldn't stay here for long, she had to get out.

So she wiped away her tears, and walked cautiously forward by holding on to the stone wall, but fortunately after a while, the road became wider, and the walls were equipped with wall lamps at intervals, and the surrounding halls were brightened, and Beiran immediately quickened her pace and walked along the road.

I don't know how long it took, but the long road finally saw the end, and Kitazme ran out in one go, and only stopped to catch his breath when he got out of the mountain road. At this time, the sky has been dotted with white, about an hour away from the bright light, Bei Ran stood in place and looked around, and immediately recognized that this is the mountain next to Qingteng Village, and the exit of this dark passage is connected to an abandoned log cabin at the foot of the mountain.

Qingteng Mountain is actually not a mountain, but the synthesis of five local mountains, five continuous green hills are arranged in a line, curved and shaped, very much like a coiled green vine, so it is named, and the site of Qingteng Village is on the first mountain of this rattan, and it is also the shortest one.

Knowing his current location, the North Dye determined that those officers and soldiers would not think that there were still people on the mountain next to them, so they pulled their legs and ran again, not to escape from the mountain, but to go straight up the mountain, all the way to the top of the mountain. I have to say that in the Qingteng Village across the hill, this is an excellent observation position, and you can clearly see the situation in the Qingteng Village below. Kitazer crouched down, hiding in the half-human-tall grass and staring at the red-and-fiery area below.

Groups of officers and soldiers gathered in the bombed and tattered Qingteng village, many people carried torches around in it, from time to time there would be two people carrying a corpse out, because of the distance, Beiran could not see the faces of these corpses clearly, but from their measurements, there were adults, children, men, and women.

It seems that after she left, the old people and children hiding in the cave were also killed, but she still had a little fantasy in her heart. She looked at it for a long time, until the courtyard in front of the main hall in the village was full of corpses, and the people who transported the corpses all rested, and she didn't see anyone escorting a single living mouth, even if they were injured or tied up as hostages, but no. There is only one possibility in this case, and that is if everyone in the village is killed, including her parents, including Nineteen and Seventeen......

Thinking of this, Bei Ran tears rained down, her hands covering her mouth and nose trembled, she looked at the mountains of corpses in the huge compound below, and she didn't know which one was her father.

At the same time, there were a large number of people who were collecting the materials in the village, they divided into several ways, some rushed into the storehouse, and moved out all the property stored inside, and some people carried a long ladder to take away the night pearl that hung under the eaves to illuminate, and every time they took one, a corner of the village was darkened a little, and then a little more, and a little more.

Bei Ran scolded secretly in his heart: This group of pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts! When they picked up other people's things, they acted quickly and cleanly, clearly in the name of officials, but in fact they were no different from horse thieves who murdered and robbed, and even more ruthless than them.

They scraped the contents of the village and threw a fire at the corpses, and the hot flames soon burned on every one of the villagers, devouring them and leaving them in their homeland forever.

The big family of hundreds of people turned into ashes overnight, and Beiran was the only one left, who should I talk to about the gap in my heart. Bei Ran sat on the ground and cried for a long time, until the dawn of the day, she staggered to her feet, remembering that Uncle Thirteen had finally said that her father asked her to go to the capital to find an adult surnamed Liu, and then she wiped two handfuls on her face with her hands, and brushed away the weeds that were high and went down the mountain.

Along the way, Bei Dye was confused, several times kicked the sharp stone and almost fell, to the bottom of the mountain, she actually saw the figure of the officers and soldiers again, it turned out that they did not completely go up the mountain, and left some people to patrol here, North Dye shuttled in the grass, and avoided them dangerously, and walked extremely cautiously.

Suddenly, a hand slapped her on the shoulder from behind.

Bei Ran's heart jumped, and he decisively pulled out the dagger hidden in his body, and reflexively grabbed the man, and then the dagger in his hand hit the man's neck in the blink of an eye.

"No, it's me."

Bei Ran looked at the person in front of him and was taken aback: "Chu Wang? How are you? ”

It's no wonder that Bei Ran can't recognize it, Chu Wang, who used to always wear black, actually wore red for the first time today, and the color was so bright that the whole person seemed to be out of shape.

Chu Wang looked at Bei Ran, and was also startled, only to see that Bei Ran could only be described by the word messy from head to toe, a pair of eyes were very red and swollen, and the white eyeballs were full of bloodshots, which was a little terrifying, and there was no brilliance.

The two officers and soldiers happened to come over to patrol, and when they were about to find them, Chu Wang pulled Bei Ran over and led her into a deep bush.

There are more than ten people here, all of whom were brought by Chu Wang, even his housekeeper is there, Bei Ran didn't understand, she couldn't make any expressions, she looked at Chu Wang with a stiff face and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The housekeeper took the first step and said, "My young master...... No, the owner of the village, he is here to propose. ”

"Propose?" Bei Ran looked at Chu Wang suspiciously.

Chu Wang immediately said: "No, no, don't listen to his nonsense." I came to find Uncle North for something, but I didn't expect that such a thing happened......"

Bei Ran was silent, lowered his head and said nothing, Chu Wang knew that he had poked her sore spot again, and he couldn't think of a word of comfort, so he had to say, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"When I went to the capital, my father asked me to find someone."

Chu Wang nodded, and then said, "I'll send you there." ”

They actually hid a few horses behind the forest. At this time, although they were at the foot of the mountain, there was a necessary way to go to the capital from here, and the bad thing was that now the road was full of officers and soldiers patrolling the mountain.

As soon as a few people rode out of the forest, they attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers, and when they found that there were still bandits who had not been eliminated, they immediately came to their senses and shouted to catch them.

Crowds of officers and soldiers quickly pounced, and Chu Wang let Bei Ran's horse go to the front, and he followed closely behind, so as not to leave her back to the enemy. They ran very fast, and when the officers and soldiers saw that they could not catch up for a while, they summoned archers, dozens of people set up bows, and more than 100 arrows were fired in unison, and they rained down from the sky in an instant. Seeing this, several followers stopped and slashed the rain of arrows in the air with their swords, while Chu Wang continued to escort Bei Ran to escape.

The fast horse passed through a mountain road surrounded by mountains on both sides, and finally threw those officers and soldiers away for a distance, Chu Wang stopped his crotch and dismounted, looked at Bei Ran and said solemnly: "I'll send you here, and you can only walk alone on the road after that, be careful in everything." ”

Beiran looked back at him: "What about you?" ”

Chu Wang laughed: "Of course, I will go back to my Ke Zhai and continue to be my village master, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with at home, so I won't send you." ”

Bei Ran looked at him, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little different from usual today, if there was anything different, she couldn't say anything specific, so she had to follow his words and said: "That's good, there will be a period later." Just as she was about to ride her horse away, she thought for a moment and turned back and said, "Also, you look good in red today." ”

After speaking, she raised the horsewhip in her hand, and the black horse under her let out a long roar, pulled out her long legs and galloped out a few feet in one step, and quickly disappeared from Chu Wang's sight.

When Bei Ran was completely gone, Chu Wang relaxed his body, and he almost fell off the horse. He wrapped one hand around his back, pulled out the arrow and threw it on the ground, the pain made cold sweat break out on his forehead, he gasped a few times, pulled out the long knife behind his back, turned over and dismounted.

On the rear road, a large group of officers and soldiers carrying spears and knives were already very close.

……

Chu Wang knelt on the ground with the support of his sword, his chest and back were filled with several cold swords, too much blood was left to flow in the end, and a good body was stabbed like a puddle of mud. He no longer had the strength to stand up, and he could never see North Dye again.

But he still had a lot to say.

The entourage told Bei Ran that their young master was here to propose marriage, but in fact, what he said was true. Chu Wang has liked Bei Dye since he was a child, and after so many years, he has never changed, he seems to be a hanger, and he has said things about liking, but every word is true.

Since he went to Qingteng Village that year, he saw that there was an extra sky beside Bei Ran, he became nervous, and after he went back, he was even more restless day and night. Later, he got the news that Ji Changkong ran away, he was overjoyed, and immediately wanted to run to Bei Dye to show her goodwill, but at that time there was a change in the village, and he was ordered to inherit his father's position as the owner of the village. When he was free, he heard that Bei Ran went to find Ji Changkong and took him back to Qingteng Village, but he made up his mind that this time he must go to express his heart to her and propose to her.

I heard that people who are married wear red wedding clothes, and he has always only loved plain clothes, especially black, because of dirt resistance, he always feels that red is too gorgeous, and boys will be laughed at when they wear it. But in order to let Bei Ran see his determination, he went to the street to find a few tailor shops and customized more than ten red clothes. Only then did he pull more than a dozen people with confidence, put on the carefully selected red robe, and ran happily with a bunch of dowries, wanting to tell her:

Hey, North Dye, do you want to consider me, I'm also very good, no worse than your husband.

Who am I? Chu Wang, the lord of the dignified village, can his identity be as high as mine?

If you want to learn something, I will teach you, and it will be better than him.

……

But now there is no way to say these words, Qingteng Village was killed, Beiran fled, and the officers and soldiers chased and killed her, and he could only send her here.

In the end, the thousand words that had been brewed in advance only turned into a vague sentence at the moment:

North dye, run.
