Xu Hesheng nodded: "Don't worry, sir."
Lord Zhu walked a few steps forward and found a tea stall.
Because the Hongcheng incident happened suddenly.
This tea stall is still there.
There was just a little dust on it.
I hope you can't see this injury.
Finally, he looked at Xu Hesheng beside him and handed the bottle to him.
"You come."
Xu Hesheng took the bottle and carefully applied the medicine to Lord Zhu.
"Sir, General Weiyuan has gone to look for them."
"Why don't we go out first."
Now there are only two of them here.
Just now, those kids succeeded because there was no one to protect them.
If I continue to stay here, what if it happens again...
That's probably not a good thing.
Master Zhu nodded: "Okay, let's go first."
As for the two children lying on the ground, already breathless, they didn't even look at them.
Wait until the two people leave.
The few remaining children who had been hiding in the shadows came running out.
My friend was alive and well before, but now he is dead.
They whimpered twice.
He then grabbed the hands of the two children.
They wanted to collect the bodies of the two children.
It’s a pity that the footsteps are getting closer.
It was General Weiyuan who returned with his men.
The leading child gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go first!"
The other children were very obedient. Although they were a little reluctant, they still ran deeper into the alley.
When General Weiyuan came over, his face looked unhappy.
The seven or eight soldiers following behind him didn't dare to speak either.
They didn't expect that their general would encounter such a thing.
General Weiyuan looked at the bite marks on his hand and snorted.
"Find those untouchables!"
The soldiers received the order and hurried into the alley.
But they were not familiar with Hongcheng, so they walked around for several times but didn't find anyone.
General Weiyuan stood where he was, listening to the report from the person who came back, his expression becoming increasingly grim.
“It’s useless!”
He shouted, "Go and see if there are any living people here."
Since he is a child of Hongcheng, the people of Hongcheng will naturally be responsible for him.
Although the soldier didn't understand what he meant, he still led the people around him to capture the living people around him.
"Big. My lord."
One of the men mustered up the courage to ask, "What's going on?"
General Weiyuan snorted coldly and raised his hand.
"There are thugs hiding in Hongcheng. If we don't find them..."
The meaning of his words was clear.
The people of Hongcheng saw them burning.
I thought they were burning the people who died of the plague.
No one ever thought that he would burn down the entire Hongcheng.
"Sir, what do those mobs look like?"
General Weiyuan pointed at the two children lying on the ground.
“Almost the same as them!”
The people then realized that those were the children lying on the ground.
He didn't die of the plague.
But they were killed.
The man in the lead barely suppressed the anger in his heart.
"He... they are still children."
General Weiyuan scoffed, "Child? What child?"
"If this general says they are a mob, then they are a mob!"
The man was angry but dared not say anything, so he had to lower his head.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and find the remaining thugs!"
General Weiyuan left the words and walked out.
"Go find it quickly!"
General Weiyuan is typical, he has some brains, but not much.
If these people knew, he would burn them to death.
I'm afraid he will be more ruthless than these kids.
The man had no choice but to do it for the sake of his life.
All we could do was collect the bodies of the two children first.
"Let's go look for it first."
He waved his hand, and the remaining few Hongcheng people had no choice but to go out and look for him.
But after everyone left, the man sighed, his eyes showing struggle.
At this time, being able to survive is considered good luck.
If you disobey this lord, you might lose your life.
Looking at these innocent children who died tragically, the man could only carry the bodies to a relatively clean place.
He found some gray linen and covered them with it.
It is unlikely that he will be buried in peace.
I just hope that after these adults leave, he can bury or burn the child.
The man sighed, people are always selfish.
There was no way he would endanger his own life for those children.
The people of Hongcheng are naturally more familiar with the roads here than General Weiyuan's soldiers.
Although the children hid, they still couldn't escape from the adults.
The man looked at the child being held in someone's hand and sighed softly.
"Why would you offend the adults?"
The child was still struggling, but he just raised his head when he heard this.
His little face was dark and his eyes were full of resentment.
"He's going to kill us! He's going to kill us!"
The man frowned: "What do you mean?"
The child recognized the man, but he just thought he looked familiar. However, he knew that the man was from Hongcheng.
"That man said he wanted to burn everyone here to death!"
The man's face changed drastically.
"They said we were sick and couldn't leave Hongcheng, and they wanted to burn Hongcheng down."
As the child was talking, he suddenly burst into tears.
He is not very old.
I encountered these things suddenly, and saw with my own eyes that two of my friends were gone.
This was a huge blow to him.
In addition, I had been hiding from place to place with the remaining children, so now that I finally saw the familiar adults, my nose naturally felt sore.
"He...he's not here to save us!"
The children thought these soldiers were there to rescue them and were very happy.
But I didn't expect to hear the adults say that.
We must burn down their Hongcheng completely.
And these soldiers who burned the city will burn them to death here as well.
The child's eyes were full of cruelty.
"They're going to let us all die here!"
The man took two steps back and lowered his eyes.
“You heard right…”
"No! I heard it clearly!"
The child retorted fiercely.
"I heard it clearly!"
The children who were captured nearby also spoke up.
"We heard it, too."
"right!"
The man believed it.
He gestured to the person next to him to let go of his hand.
The child collapsed on the ground, looking extremely pitiful.
The man's eyes turned cold.
"Did you all hear that?"
The faces of several Hongcheng residents nearby were also not very good.
At first, they only dared to peek out cautiously.
They thought these people were here to rescue them.
In the end, we only saw these people piling up the corpses in the city and setting them on fire.
They took it for granted that the diseased bodies were to be burned.
"What now?"
The child also looked at the man with some hope.
"Since he wants our lives... then we'll fight with all our might."
Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope.
