Chapter 242 You can get out of the cage
Half a day after Bai Yi left with his 30,000 troops, another thousand people rushed towards Liangzhou City.
Some of the villagers who ran into the mountains were rescued, while others disappeared.
Everyone came back one after another.
More than half of the Huo family's guards were missing, and they encountered a pack of wolves that were out looking for food.
The old lady was carried back. She rolled down the mountain and broke her arms and legs.
I looked around, but Xie Yurou was nowhere to be found.
"Where's Yurou?"
"Mom, I haven't found her yet..." Li Yuzhi lowered her voice to prevent herself from crying.
In fact, we found some torn pieces of clothing and blood.
I don’t know if it was dragged away by a wolf.
"She's in the tree. I lifted her up to the tree. It's near the valley where I fell!" the old lady shouted anxiously.
Both wolves followed her and ran away. As long as Yu Rou didn't get down from the tree by herself, nothing would happen!
"Madam, I've looked, but it's not on the tree."
The guard said, "You may not understand the habits of wolves. They can climb trees on top of each other..."
"Shut up!" Li Yuzhi scolded.
The old lady suddenly fell down, staring blankly at the sky.
Lord, life is so hard...
“Woof woof woof… Woof woof woof…”
Xiaohong, whose leg was broken by the wolf again, ran back with a piece of cloth in her mouth.
"Xiaohong, have you found my third aunt?" Jintang wiped his tears and squatted down to ask.
Xiaohong nodded.
Everyone suddenly became energetic again.
Following Xiaohong into the mountains, they found the unconscious Xie Yurou in a very hidden cave.
She was rescued.
By a strange person.
When I got there, the man was lighting a fire to drive away wolves.
He wore a black iron mask on his face. He was skinny and his clothes were ragged, but they couldn't cover his whole body. The exposed skin was bumpy, like a toad's skin.
His hair was tangled into clumps and made strange noises, like a savage.
Male savage.
His left arm was bitten by a wolf, and the blood that flowed out was strange and black.
There were several wolf corpses lying next to the cave.
The guard stepped forward and killed the remaining two wolves, pointed his knife at the savage, and looked at him warily.
"Yu Rou, Yu Rou..."
Li Yuzhi lifted the hay covering Xie Yurou and shook it gently.
Xie Yurou's legs were scratched by several wolf claws. She woke up quickly after shaking herself.
"Sister-in-law, he saved me."
"Third Madam, have you touched his blood? His blood is extremely poisonous!"
After checking the wolf's corpse, the guard asked anxiously.
"No."
Xie Yurou was a little dazed.
Look at the savage with his head lowered and shoulders hunched.
Is his blood poisonous?
No wonder he deliberately stretched out his arm to let the wolf bite him.
Several guards took out all the cakes from their pockets and placed them in front of the savage.
"Thank you for saving my life."
"Third Madam, I'm sorry." The guard picked up Xie Yurou by the waist.
They walked down the mountain.
The savage suddenly moved, and the guard quickly turned around and pointed his knife at him.
"He is not a bad person." Xie Yurou said.
"Madam, this man is too weird. We must be on guard."
They dare not show their true faces. They are carrying poison and do not look normal. It is difficult to tell good from evil. They are afraid that they will suddenly go crazy.
It’s better not to provoke them.
Xie Yurou withdrew her gaze.
She was hysterical again and felt that the man's eyes looked so much like Sanlang's when he saved her.
"Then don't hurt him."
…
Yangguan.
The city gate opened.
Countless people rushed out frantically.
Su Huiye stood on the city wall and watched the people leave in the opposite direction until the streets were empty and there was no one left.
Of all the generals, he was the only one left.
The final battle.
Instead of waiting for reinforcements to arrive, they received news of retreating to Honghua.
The imperial army has already built a city wall in Honghua, and it seems they are planning to seize nearly ten cities in the northwest!
Over a million people! How dare you!
"Xu Wude, please leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will burn the city."
"Thank you for letting us have our last full meal."
Yes, it’s Xu Wude.
He collected the grain, but could not return to Liangzhou, so he directly transported the grain to Yangguan for support.
However, it was just to let the soldiers have a full meal.
He really wished that what was brought was not food, but hundreds of thousands of military horses.
"General Su, if you can survive, I will treat you to whatever you want to eat in the future and will not say bad things about you behind your back." Xu Wude cried loudly.
I don't care whether it's embarrassing or not.
"I'm afraid I can't do that while I'm alive. If you want to eat me as a ghost, I'll come find you again."
"General Su..."
"Let's go, pull him down from the tower!"
Xu Wude was pulled down from the city wall, and all the guys who delivered food with him went to the other city gate crying.
When they reached the city gate, they looked back again and saw soldiers scattering rice on the road.
That's the white rice they brought!
Su Huiye lied, they didn’t eat at all!
"Why did you scatter the rice?" he ran over and questioned the soldiers.
"Master Xu, you don't understand."
"Western Liao has many cavalrymen. These rice grains are tiny and have been poisoned. Their horses can still eat them even with muzzles."
"This will give the people more time to escape."
Xu Wude: “…”
"Su Huiye, are you going to kill me?"
Why was he so stingy before, and he was unwilling to treat these soldiers who sacrificed their flesh and blood for the people with a good meal of wine and meat!
I regret it so much!
"Master Xu, hurry out of the city! They're starting to attack!"
…
Sanning had a dream.
I dreamed that she was hung again.
This time he was not hung in an iron cage, but on a high city wall.
She saw Qin Wangyuan coming again, as well as Huo Jingya, her sister-in-law, Ruomei, and countless familiar faces.
They ran to rescue her.
Aguding grinned and shot arrows one after another.
It's all blood, all blood...
Sonning woke up yelling.
She seemed to have slept for a long time.
I feel escapist and unwilling to wake up.
She knew she was really scared.
I was frightened by those beasts from Western Liao.
No, this won’t work.
"I want to go out. I have to go out."
“Although this place is peaceful and blissful, it is not the real world.”
"Sang Ning, don't be afraid."
The bandages on his hands had turned red, and his shoulders and arms had become numb.
She changed the medicine again and drank a bellyful of spiritual spring water.
As soon as she had the thought, she took it back.
After hesitating for several times, she suddenly thought that she could leave the space little by little, just like how she scared the horse bandits last time!
Maybe she can get out of the cage, just by showing her two legs!
There should be enough space in the cage for her legs to pass through, right?
She thought about it and decided that it was about right. Her legs were very thin now.
Sang Ning regained his spirits and was no longer so depressed and afraid.
She cautiously poked her head out.
But when he saw the scene outside clearly, he suddenly retracted it.
The massacre happened again.
