Chapter 487 It seems that God has eyes
Besides, they are not good people and they don't have the leisure to dig a hole and bury them.
If they had not come to Yongfeng Village today, the outcome would probably not be what we see now.
The Qian family rushed over in a hurry and were about to take their food and livestock back when they saw Ran Qingxuan squatting beside the corpse with a sharp knife in his hand.
"What is she doing...ah..."
Qian Tai's wife Deng Xiaozhi was picking up her own food. She looked closely in the light of the fire and saw Ran Qingxuan stabbing open the corpse's brain and taking something out...
Her movements and the blood on half of her face made Deng Xiaozhi's scalp numb for a moment, and her legs almost went weak and she sat on the ground.
The Qian family was used to being domineering in the village, but this was the first time they saw someone so calm when facing a corpse.
And this person is a woman!
The Qian family members were busy searching for their own property, while Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen were just pulling bullets out of the corpses as if no one was around.
By the time Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen piled up the corpses at the foot of Maoling Mountain and burned them together, Gu Yanjing had already dealt with the corpses in the village square.
The three of them gathered together to make sure the bodies were burned cleanly, while Gu Yanzong had already gone to the southwest of the village to look for his family.
The flames rose and the smell of burning gradually spread.
The people of the three ethnic groups watched their actions with their own eyes and were even more afraid of their methods.
The patriarchs of the Guo and Lin families originally wanted to keep the people in their own villages, but because of the scene before them, the patriarchs of both sides did not dare to step forward to talk.
More and more people gathered around, until the fire was at its most intense, when suddenly a loud noise was heard from the south side of the village.
Gu Yanchen's expression instantly became nervous, and Gu Yanjing also picked up his sword again and was ready for battle.
"It looks like they are soldiers..." Ran Qingxuan said casually without seeing clearly.
"He's not an officer or soldier, but an acquaintance."
The two brothers relaxed, and Ran Qingxuan was not so nervous anymore after seeing this.
As Yongfeng Village has been frequently attacked by the Yigui people in recent years, people designated by the village will go to the nearest camp to report as soon as an attack occurs.
Arriving in time can save some things, but each time it is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause.
The person who received the news and led the troops here was none other than Zhao Zihui, the deputy general under the command of Marquis Zhenbei.
As they were far away, Zhao Zihui mistook the two tall men for Yigui people. He was about to draw his bow and shoot arrows while riding on a tall horse, but he did not expect that Gu Yanjing, who was standing in the distance, spoke first.
"Zihui, I haven't seen you for many years. I hope you are doing well!"
Zhao Zihui was shocked, and felt that the voice seemed very familiar. Just when he was wondering who the familiar voice belonged to, he suddenly saw two familiar faces.
"General Gu San...?"
"Chen...Brother Yan Chen?"
When he saw Gu Yanjing, Zhao Zihui thought he was dazzled, but when he saw Gu Yanchen, he realized that he was not dreaming.
Zhao Zihui immediately changed his words after realizing that the address was wrong. He and Gu Yanchen have been friends for many years and have always addressed each other as brothers.
What he didn't expect was that Gu Yanjing, who had been dead for many years, would actually appear in front of him alive!
Zhao Zihui turned over and dismounted, and his eyes were red when he approached.
"Is it really General Gu San?"
When he got closer, he could see clearly that it was really Gu Yanjing...
"General Zhao Zihui pays respect to General Gu San!"
You have to know that before Gu Yanjing's death, Zhao Zihui was a subordinate in his Iron Cavalry Battalion.
There were dozens of soldiers present who had once been members of the Iron Cavalry Battalion. Now seeing Gu Yanjing standing in front of them, many of them rubbed their eyes hard before they dared to believe what they saw.
"General Gu San, it's really you!"
"General, haven't you already..."
"Fuck you, do you know how to speak? Isn't the general still here?"
Some of the soldiers were about the same age as Gu Yanjing, and they actually started to cry as they spoke. Some people didn't even dare to step forward and just stood there and stared at him.
Gu Yanjing was filled with emotion and took a few steps forward to help Zhao Zihui up.
"Back then, I was tricked by the Blue Rain people and lived for three years as a half-human, half-ghost. I thought I would never have the chance to meet my family and you, but who knew..."
It seems that God has eyes.
"I got the news that the Gu family was exiled earlier, and the Marquis of Zhenbei also said that Brother Yan Chen would arrive in Zixi in the next few days. I didn't expect to meet him by chance today."
As he was speaking, it happened that Gu Yanzong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and his family walked around the open space in the middle of the village. Seeing so many corpses burning, many people turned their faces away and dared not look.
Only Gu Yanzong remained calm and looked straight ahead. However, the next second when the two sides looked at each other, Zhao Zihui was shocked again.
"General Gu?"
"What...it's General Gu, am I...Is my eyes not dazzled?"
"I'm not dazzled, I saw it too..."
The soldiers stood there stupidly. They had only received a report about the invasion of the foreign ghosts, but they didn't expect to see the long-dead man of the Gu family!
Gu Yanzong did not expect that the person who came was Zhao Zihui, and he was filled with emotion for a moment.
Seeing that there were too many villagers watching, Gu Yanchen whispered, "Brother Zhao, this is not the place to talk. Bring your brothers to where we are staying to talk first."
Zhao Zihui said to the people behind him, "Lawyer Dong, bring people to turn up the fire and burn these Yigui people to ashes."
"Also, leave some people to ensure that the looted food and livestock are returned to the villagers. Also, if there are any injured, let the accompanying medical officer treat them."
Originally, Ran Qingxuan could do the job of saving people, but the Qian family made things difficult for her, so she naturally would not do something that was thankless.
Zhao Zihui was so excited that he went to the place where they had stayed temporarily with the Gu family.
But when this group of people were brought into the yard that could collapse at any time, Zhao Zihui still couldn't believe it.
"General, do you live here?"
The soldiers who once belonged to the Iron Cavalry Battalion said in disbelief, subconsciously thinking that there were no houses left to live in in the village.
"What you see is still good. We cleaned it up when we first arrived. Otherwise, the whole yard would be full of dead weeds. It would look very desolate at first glance."
Seeing that these people were familiar with the Gu family, Chen Zhao dared to tell the truth.
Fortunately, when the Yigui people came down, they just passed by and did not come in to rob. Everyone’s supplies were there, and the meal was ready.
Seeing the meal being cooked on the simple stove, Zhao Zihui asked, "General, have you not eaten yet?"
“We had just arrived at Yongfeng Village, and the Yigui people arrived before we had even finished our meal.
Something happened in the meantime, which resulted in the new household registration not having the official stamp of the village, and I couldn't buy a new house to live in, so I could only make do with this yard. ”
When Zhao Zihui heard this, he knew that what happened must be not good.
Gu Yanchen said this because he knew that these former brothers would definitely not watch their family live in such a dilapidated place.
"How ridiculous! Is it that the village head deliberately refuses to do it for you and makes things difficult for you?"
