feud

The two walked for a long time, and according to Cen Li's statement, they were close. Wang Bing wiped his forehead with sweat, and was secretly startled when he saw black smoke billowing not far away.

"arrive!"

Cen Li dragged Wang Bing to run, and the houses not far away gradually revealed their true faces from the cover of trees. First, there was an ordinary thatched roof, and then there was a wall of earth that was blackened by burning. The trees were retreating rapidly. The smell of burning and blood was getting stronger and stronger, and finally they ran to the nearest thatched hut, Cen Li's smile froze, his hand was still holding Wang Bing's sleeve, and clenched it tightly.

A whole house, only one wall remains.There is still a small group of fire crackling behind the wall. Looking around, none of the houses where typical people live has survived. Dozens of corpses lie between the ruined walls, showing the most painful appearance before their death.

Wang Bing patted Cen Li's shoulder lightly, and looked at him with consoling eyes, "Don't worry, let's talk about it later." After speaking, he walked in front of him, because Cen Li still had Wang Bing's pitiful sleeve in his clenched palm. , this looks like Wang Bing leading a dog.

In the nearest place, a young man was nailed to the wall at about the height of Wang Bing's shoulders. This young man was shot into a hedgehog with an arrow, and his face could not be seen clearly. Wang Bing touched the blood flowing from between the young man's legs, and the blood was not dry yet. , indicating that the people in Tucun haven't gone far.

Wang Bing looked around, walked to each corpse, and carefully looked at their appearance after death.He squatted next to a corpse whose stomach had been dissected open, and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Judging from the fact that they were all headed in the direction we came from and the corpses were scattered, it means that the people from Tucun came from the opposite side, so they must be those people." It suddenly appeared, and people just ran for their lives under the shock. Moreover, the people who slaughtered the village were not very smart. It’s barely enough for a child to wear, I think Chongyan’s army will not use these defective products to go into battle and shoot soldiers wearing armor.”

"You are right. No matter who killed them or what their purpose was, it means that we have to go a long way without enough food." Cen Li loosened his fists, still clutching his sleeves, and fell It's not that he was depressed because of his death, it's just that the previous carriage and horse had to be given up because of the boat. He originally wanted to get a carriage here, no matter how bad an ox cart was, so that Wang's illness would be relieved.

Cen Li: "Forget it, let's go, don't waste time here. Let's go directly to the city, and we will arrive soon after dark."

"Hey..." Wang Bing became passive again, and was dragged by Cen Li to stand up involuntarily. He had discovered something, so he pulled Cen Li down out of excitement, and squatted down to carefully look at a male corpse at his feet.

Cen Li: "..."

Cen Li couldn't understand why this person was able to remain calm in the face of crowds of corpses?The same is true in the mountain village near Jiankang. He can touch the baby inside the dead body calmly, test the blood of the boy who was nailed into a hedgehog without shaking his hand, and now he is studying the corpse that has been cut open!

"Alive!" Wang Bing was overjoyed. He didn't know what kind of image Cen Li had changed for himself in his heart. He turned his head and said to Cen Li who was squatting next to him, "I'm under the pressure. I heard the sound of breathing!"

"Go away, I'll come." Cen Li leaned closer and listened carefully, there was really a shallow breathing sound, and immediately pushed away the corpse with large intestines on it, and sure enough, he saw a young man below, Although the boy's head was covered with blood, his reaction of taking a breath while losing the weight on his chest proved that he was a living person.Cen Li knew what Wang Bing was going to do, so he picked him up and put him on the ground.

The superficial medical theory that Wang Bing understands is still learned from reading books when he was in Dongguan. He has never practiced it, so he cannot be called a qualified doctor. However, when faced with simple and complicated bleeding symptoms, the first reaction is of course to stop the bleeding. Wang Bing took the water bag from Cen Li, poured it on his wide sleeve, and after Cen Li wrung it dry, he began to wipe the boy's muddy head.

The boy's blood-smeared facial features gradually became clear. Wang Bing tore off his sleeve fiercely. Cen Li twitched his eyebrows and helped him fix the boy's head. Wang Bing sprinkled some medicinal powder, bandaged it round and round, and fed After drinking some water and waiting for a while, the boy woke up.

The young man fluttered his long and curled eyelashes like butterfly wings a few times, and slowly opened his eyes. The pupils were big and black, like grapes soaked in water.He fixed his eyes in a daze, looked up the hand on his shoulder, and screamed in fright.

"Your face...you are a human or a ghost! Go away!"

It's not the first time that people have been disgusted by such a big reaction. Wang Bing didn't think it was a big deal, but the young man's fists and feet had no eyes, and he almost hit Wang Bing in the face several times. Wang Bing hurriedly said: "Don't move around, It’s hard to stop the bleeding, and if you move the wound again, you will die.”

Cen Li was about to kick away the person who occupied Wang Bing's arms and didn't know what to do. Wang Bing seemed to guess what he was going to do and shook his head at him. Wang's sick face.

"Are you? Liang people?"

"We were just passing by, and we happened to see that you were still alive, so we just saved you—" Cen Li shrugged, dragging the end of his voice indifferently. "Look at you, you saved a white-eyed wolf."

"...Okay." Wang Bing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately said to the boy in his arms, "I'm from Liang, we won't do anything to you, don't worry."

Listening to the young man's accent, Wang Bing knew that he was not a barbarian. This was the second Liang man he met in Chu State. The first one was a boatman, but they all looked so inhuman. Wang Bing was heartbroken for a moment. Mixed feelings.

The boy's heart finally let go when he mentioned his throat, and the pain hit. The boy covered his forehead with one hand and "hissed", his facial features wrinkled in pain.

"Don't catch it!" The young man pulled the cloth strip on his head in pain, the wound that had been bandaged to stop the bleeding was bleeding again, and the white cloth strip was stained scarlet, Wang Bing hurriedly stopped his self-harm, and said : "Calm down, it's okay, don't talk about it."

Blood, blood everywhere, people chased them wherever they fled, screams resounded through the sky, the people who enslaved them a moment ago turned into headless corpses in the blink of an eye, the bloody knife was cut on their own body, but in the end When it fell on his best friend, all the memories flooded back, and the boy trembled violently.The rest of his life after the catastrophe did not make him feel lucky. He had no doubt that it was more uncomfortable to live than to die.

"Why save me! Who told you to meddle in your own business! Why do you leave me alone! Get out!"

Wang Bing sat on the ground and hugged him, but he pushed him back, Cen Li immediately supported Wang Bing from behind, lifted up the young man who was punching and kicking, and threw him aside, Wang Bing was startled: "Wait... "

The boy who was on his buttocks gave Cen Li a hard look. With this stare, he saw something different from Cen Li's face. He yelled and rushed towards Cen Li!

Damn Yi Di, these people killed his best friend!Under the double stimulation of massacring the village and losing friends, his broken mind still retains the most primitive cruelty of human beings. Without thinking about it, he went to take the most deadly and fragile part of the human body with his bare hands-the throat.

Cen Li was on guard against him, so of course he didn't let him do what he wanted, so he turned sideways, and the boy missed nothing.Seeing that the two were about to fight, Wang Bing hurriedly pulled them away, and said to the young man who started the fight: "Stop, even if we are wrong, you don't need to hit someone, right?"

"You are a Liang, and you are with the scum of Yi and Di!" The young man was injured, and he knew that even if he gave him two hands and two feet, he would not be able to beat someone who was two heads taller than him. body.

"The barbaric dogs have left half of us in Daliang, Jiangshan, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of crimes, and they cannibalize people! The fucking thing is that you have a rotten and beautiful skin, and sooner or later they will eat you to the bone!"

Wang Bing: "...Calm down! Cen Li!"

Cen Li clenched his fists and barely stopped.Wang Bing was taken aback by his expression, feeling the wind blowing from behind him on a hot day, knowing that he was really angry, he hurriedly said: "It's okay, don't be angry, just stand there and don't move."

The two people who fought when they disagreed said at the same time: "You still help him!"

"...Cen Li, you stand there first, let me tell him, don't be angry, wait a minute, I'll be fine soon!" Wang Bing was relieved when he saw that Cen Li had stopped moving, walked up to the young man, Seeing that the cloth on his forehead turned red, and blood flowed into his eyes, there was determination in his eyes.

"I don't know what you went through, but if you can survive, you must cherish life. Those who love you and are willing to sacrifice for you must think so."

"A traitor, it's meaningless for me to live alone. Me and the other person are the one lying on top of me who was disembowelled. When Liu Ge was killed in Pingyang, our parents escaped by themselves and left us here for the barbarians. Be a cow or a horse."

Wang Bing was a little embarrassed and couldn't laugh anymore, "Is it interesting? You have to live to know, isn't it? You are young, you can join the army if you love the country, you can become a poet if you love writing poetry, and you can become a rich man if you love making money. Hate the injustice of the world and be helpless, so you can live in seclusion. There is a saying that is worse than dying."

"That's called dragging out an ignoble existence."

"...Let's just say it, ah ha ha ha ha ha ha... But you can always see different scenery when you are alive, and you are dead, let alone die with disgrace. No one will know that you died for what you deserved, justly, except yourself. You are just deceiving yourself and others to die."

Wang Bing is still a bit biased, they are all citizens of Daliang, far away in another country, it is really unbearable to see him helpless and begging for death.

"..."

Cen Li had been standing ten steps away from them, and Wang Bing's words reached his ears verbatim.Wang Bing used to live in seclusion in Dongshan, and he accidentally ran into him in a restaurant when he went down the mountain to buy wine. Did he also hate the injustice of the world before?Do you also feel powerless?

What's more... Has he ever thought about deceiving himself to death?

The white and slender figure was so out of tune with the surrounding corpses and charred black walls, it made my heart feel warm just looking at it.Cen Li endured again and again, so he didn't go up to hug him tightly, because Wang Bing asked him to wait here.

Seeing Wang Bing handing him a purse, Cen Li turned around and walked towards him, and said with a smile, "Let's go, we have to go to the city before dark."

Cen Li glanced at the young man again, and said as he walked, "Aren't you taking him with you?"

"No, it's better for him not to get involved in our affairs."

"Oh... that's true." Cen Li muttered softly, "You've never hugged me like that before."

Wang Bing blushed, lowered his head and walked forward, regardless of whether he was going in the right direction or wrong.

Cen Li burst out laughing, went up and tugged at his sleeve, "Here, I'm joking." He thought: I'll just hug you, the same.

The young man didn't know why he accepted the money from the traitor. Seeing the two people walking away talking and laughing, he was so angry that he threw the money bag on the ground. I went to a corpse whose stomach had been cut open, bowed, and dug a hole with my bare hands and buried it.

"When you arrive in Pingyang City, what are your plans?"

"Go to my father's old acquaintance first, Mo Wankong told me the exact location, we can just go there when the time comes, but we have to guard against thieves when we enter the city, so be careful."

"Do they recognize you without any tokens?" Wang Bing glanced back, he and Cen Li were connected, knowing that "old acquaintance" and "thief" refer to "old minister" and "Chu soldier" respectively.

"Recognize! They often come to my house. Like Mo Wankong, they watched us grow up. Like last time on the street, there were so many people, and Aji recognized me. Hey... kid, eavesdropper Talking is exciting, isn't it?" Cen Li turned around, and the young man held the money bag in both hands and held it in front of his chest. He was startled at first, and then he mustered up his courage to push back: "Is the road yours? You can walk as long as I can." Can't go?"

Cen Li snorted: "Get the money and go back, be careful that I break your neck."

"Who's following you! I'm following him! He!" The young man cursed in a low voice, "Savage dog", and looked at Wang Bing with pitiful and suspicious eyes. The kennel is over, are you going to die?"

"Not with him, we are together, with him is with me. You'd better go back to the place where children should go, we can't distract you to protect you, if you get in the way, go back."

Wang Bing sighed, and had to admit that what Cen Li said made sense. They went to Pingyang to unite Zhao’s old ministers to rebel. Even Cen Li said that there was only [-]% chance of overthrowing Chongyan’s sky, and the road ahead was difficult. It is indeed more tiring to have a teenager who hates all barbarians by his side.

Wang Bing walked up to him, patted his head, and said softly: "Go back, it's for your own good."

"Where are you going? This is Chu State! If I am seen by wild dogs, I will definitely be captured and used as military rations!"

"But it's very dangerous for you to follow us..." Wang Bing's momentum weakened. The young man was discerning, and he could tell at a glance that Wang Bing was a soft-hearted person. Turning into a corpse, or being caught as a slave by someone, it is all possible, I am only a person, I have no power to restrain a chicken, no matter how much money I have, I will never go back!"

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with it. We are all Liang people. We should unite even more in the enemy's territory. Would I still harm you?"

"It's not for this reason, it's..." Wang Bing has met his nemesis, and the last thing he can deal with is this kind of rascal, almost stalker.Wang Bing was caught in a dilemma, his hand froze on the boy's head, so he could only look at Cen Li with a look of pleading for help.

He thought that Cen Li would carry the young man and throw him far away, but he didn't expect Cen Li to say only four words.

"Take him with you."

Wang Bing looked at Cen Li as if he didn't know each other. The two of them seemed to be incompatible with each other by nature, and the young man had a tragic past of being slaved by barbarians. When he arrived in the city, the barbarians didn't know what he would do. .

Cen Li explained: "There are only two ways now, one is to knock him out and let him fend for himself, and the other is to let him follow. I know you won't choose the first one."

So the original two-person trip became a three-person trip.

The boy's name is He Zhinian, he has not reached the crown yet, and has no characters.Wang Bing wanted to go to the city at night, so he drove for half a day without a break. He Zhinian must be a poor boy, and he followed Wang Bing under the sun without a single complaint. .

After walking for nearly seventy miles that day, the high city wall appeared in the sight of the three of them at sunset. Wang Bing once again declined Cen Li's approaching back, his face pale and bloodless, and he gasped for a while before taking a step forward. .

"It's almost here, we..." Before he finished speaking, Wang Bing suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, and he couldn't lift his breath. His feet seemed to be on cotton, his eyes flickered, and he fell forward.

"Wang Bing!" Cen Li kept walking in front of him two or three steps away. As soon as he opened his mouth, Cen Li sensed something was wrong, and immediately turned around to catch Wang Bing.
