Chapter 84 I am so disappointed in you!
This unplanned battle against bandits ended unexpectedly quickly.
It took less than a quarter of an hour from the time we encountered the bandits to the end of the battle.
The whole village returned to silence, with only the crackling sound of the remaining fire burning the houses echoing in the night, reminding everyone that two massacres had just taken place here.
"Finish off the kill, put out the fire, and look for any survivors!"
Liang Zhen did not even dismount from his horse from beginning to end, and shouted out orders.
The Qingjia Army immediately split into several groups and acted in accordance with the order.
Some people went to check one by one whether the bandits were dead or not, some went to fetch water to put out the fire, and some went to look for survivors. Some people also dragged the bodies of the villagers out of the houses one by one and placed them one by one in the open space at the entrance of the village.
Most of them were killed with one knife, and the knife wounds were all on the heart.
Looking at these corpses, Wei Changtian felt more and more that something was wrong, but Liang Qin came back at this time.
"Dad! Brother Changtian!"
She first shouted at the two of them, then turned her head and stared at Cao Shu, with a tone that contained some anger and some sadness.
"Master Cao! Are you satisfied now?"
"If you hadn't been so reluctant at the beginning, these people wouldn't have died!"
"I……"
Cao Shu's face instantly fell, and Liang Zhen hurriedly shouted angrily to save the situation: "Qin'er! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Lord Cao has his own considerations. If you want to blame someone, blame these bandits!"
"snort!"
Liang Qin opened her mouth, but ultimately she just groaned and stopped talking, then walked to the side and began to wipe the blood off her body.
Liang Zhen bowed and said something to Cao Shu, "Master Cao, please don't bother with my daughter." Then a few soldiers came running back to report the situation.
"General! There were a total of 128 bandits. Not one escaped. All of them were killed."
"Only a dozen of our brothers were slightly injured, but dozens of horses died."
"Um."
Liang Zhen nodded and asked, "How many people died?"
"More than 200 bodies have been found, and some are estimated to be buried in the ruins of the house."
"Are there any survivors?"
"There was a little girl and a woman."
"Bring them here."
"yes!"
The soldier waved his hand and immediately someone came over with two figures, one big and one small.
The woman was about thirty years old, wearing tattered linen clothes and her hair was messy.
However, if you observe carefully, you can find that she actually has a good appearance and figure, and she would be quite charming if she dressed up.
To put it simply, it can be summed up in three words - beautiful mature woman.
As for the other little girl, everyone just met her at noon today...
"Ah-Chun?"
Liang Qin was the first to react. She immediately ran over and bent over to ask, "Do you live here?"
“…”
Ah Chun stared with his eyes wide open and said nothing, seeming to be terribly frightened.
Liang Qin wiped the stains off her face with some heartache, and looked up at a soldier next to her.
The latter immediately understood and explained:
"Miss, we found her in a well."
"We were inspecting a burned-down house when we heard someone fall into the well. We went to check and rescued her."
"I guess she was hiding in the well by climbing the rope at first, and finally she ran out of energy and fell into the water..."
The soldier explained the whole story in a few words, and Ah Chun finally came to his senses at this time. He bent his knees and knelt on the ground, leaning forward and kowtowing repeatedly.
"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, sir!"
Ah Chun suppressed her tears, her small figure crouched down, her voice full of gratitude.
Liang Qin took a step forward and held her in her arms, her heart almost melting.
Such a sensible child ended up having such a miserable life.
Not only did he lose his parents, but now he even lost his home.
"Ah Chun, don't cry. Ah Chun, don't cry."
Liang Qin patted Ah Chun's little head and said softly, "You will follow us from now on, okay?"
"Madam, are you willing to take me in?"
"Of course." Liang Qin nodded with a smile.
“…”
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes again, her voice full of excitement and joy.
"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am!"
"Husband, Madam, don't worry, I eat very little and can do a lot of work..."
Ah Chun hurriedly began to introduce his "advantages", but everyone felt sad when they listened.
A little girl who has no relatives and just got back from the brink of death, in order to survive, she is selling herself like a commodity...
Many of these soldiers have wives and children. At this moment, they can't help but think about how their wives and children will survive if they die one day...
Some people were sad, but Liang Zhen was quite distressed at this time.
Because Liang Qin has already taken in quite a few maids like this!
It’s not that the Liang family can’t afford to support so many people, but this is not a long-term solution after all.
There are so many poor people in the world, you can't just take them away when you see them, right?
But he couldn't get rid of Liang Qin in this matter, so he could only sigh helplessly, turned his head to look at the woman, and asked casually:
"And how did you survive?"
"grown ups!"
The woman had been wiping away tears just now. When she heard that she was finally being asked, she immediately cried out loudly, "I was hiding in the firewood pile at home just now. I didn't dare to come out until I heard the fighting outside stopped. I just happened to run into a few soldiers..."
Several soldiers nearby nodded, confirming that this was indeed the case.
"Where are the other people in your family?" Liang Zhen asked again.
"Dead! The man and the son! They were all killed by those bandits who cut them into pieces!"
The woman wailed in grief, "I am the only woman left. How should I survive in this world?"
"If I had known this would happen, I would have let that bandit kill me too!"
“Wuwuwu…”
If Ah Chun gave people a feeling of sadness and distress, then this woman was miserable at this moment.
If everyone else in the village was fine, it would be fine. As a widow, she might still have a chance to survive.
But now the whole village has been wiped out, and she is already at this age, so she probably has no choice but to end up in a brothel.
Everyone was silent again, and at this moment, Wei Changtian suddenly said something very inappropriate and even extremely harsh.
"Since you can't live anymore, you might as well just die now."
???
For a moment, everyone looked at Wei Changtian in astonishment, not knowing why he said such a thing.
No matter how lowly this woman's status was, she was a poor person who had just lost her husband and son! However, before they could react, Wei Changtian immediately did something that shocked them even more.
After he finished speaking, he almost didn't hesitate, and jumped off the horse, running straight towards the woman with wide eyes at an extremely fast speed!
“Swish!”
The dragon roars and the sword returns to the dust!
In just a moment, the woman's head flew into the air, but Wei Changtian had no intention of stopping. He turned around and stabbed the woman five or six times in several vital parts of her body like a madman!
“Plop!”
The head fell to the ground, the body turned over, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Changtian! What are you doing?"
Liang Zhen came to his senses at this moment, and wanted to ask Wei Changtian in amazement why he suddenly killed people.
However, before Wei Changtian could answer, Liang Qin suddenly rushed over and stood in front of the woman's battered body, her face full of anger and disappointment.
"What's there to say?"
"Brother Changtian! You disappoint me so much!!"
"I thought you had changed!!"
"But I didn't expect you to be the same as before. No, even scarier than before!!"
Liang Qin was really disappointed with Wei Changtian at this time.
After all, although the previous master was extremely violent, there was always a reason when he killed people.
But now...
Liang Qin suddenly thought of Wei Changtian's inaction during the bandit suppression campaign. She felt more and more uncomfortable and her eyes became more and more cold.
She stared at Wei Changtian intently, not even noticing the changes in the expressions of other people around her.
"Brother Changtian, this is the last time I will call you like this..."
"From now on, I will never be with you again..."
Liang Qin didn't finish her words because Wei Changtian pointed behind her.
She turned her head almost subconsciously, and then her eyes widened and she was stunned.
Under the moonlight, there was no sign of a woman in the pool of blood.
It's just a giant ghost-faced spider.
