The war between the two dynasties made the civilians on the border feel terrified all day long.
Especially in families with young adults, no one wants to enter the battlefield and lose their lives in vain.
When these people heard that soldiers were coming, they fled immediately without thinking.
Some brought their families with them, and some left alone.
A man who lives in a family without a wife and parents naturally wants to go wherever he wants.
But where can a person with a wife, children and mother at home escape to?
For a time, the entire border was in chaos, because those who captured them were soldiers from the enemy country and did not care too much about their life and death.
Aji is a blacksmith, relying on this craft to make a living in this border town.
Most of the people coming and going here are local merchants and border soldiers.
Because life was good, he found a wife here and gave birth to a son.
Originally, his family of three lived a pretty good life, but since the city was destroyed, his business has been sluggish.
He originally thought about escaping from here, but he encountered the Cangye Dynasty recruiting troops again.
If the Xie Yue Dynasty recruits troops, he won't be afraid.
At least once you're in the army, with better luck, you might be able to come back in a few years.
But Cang Ye was different. He felt that even if he was drafted into the army, he would not receive preferential treatment.
So on the second day of the conscription, he left the town with his wife and children and began to flee.
The nightmare started from this, and the cruelty of the other party was beyond his imagination.
The day after he escaped, the town began to become chaotic.
Officer Cang Ye, who was recruiting troops, entered the town and found that there were no people to recruit. In a rage, he killed dozens of people as a warning to others.
The most hateful thing is that these people began to investigate and find out whoever was sure that someone in the family had escaped.
The old man was killed and the women and children were forcibly taken away.
As a result, the small town that originally didn't have many people became a river of blood and became empty.
Cang Ye's soldiers were all around, and they began to arrest these fleeing people.
To escape alone, you can naturally run as far as you want, but Aji is different.
With his wife and a son who can't even walk, he can't run fast at all.
In addition, he had never left here. After being chased, he began to get lost and went into the woods.
After a few days, I was exhausted physically and mentally. I looked at my son who cried often and my wife who was too tired to walk.
He was asking the sky to respond, and the earth and the earth were not working, and for a while he had no clue.
"Daughter-in-law, if you continue to be patient and climb over this mountain, as long as you escape the search of these people, we can rest."
Holding the child in one hand and supporting his wife in the other.
He was very tired and had the idea of falling down and going to sleep, then never getting up again.
There is a roadblock in front, and there are pursuers behind.
As he walked step by step, suddenly an arrow fell beside him.
At this moment, Aji didn't know where he got the strength, so he forced his wife to run again.
This run lasted another ten minutes.
After leaving the woods, there was a smooth road ahead. Looking at the village not far away, Aji hesitated.
It seems that I did something wrong and led these people to someone else's village.
"Aji, you take your son and leave first. Don't worry about me. I really can't run anymore."
His wife's voice kept ringing in Aji's ears, but along with his son's cry, Aji didn't hear clearly and didn't know what she said.
Bang!
Aji finally couldn't hold on any longer and sat down on the ground.
He didn't want to escape, and he really couldn't escape, so he just accepted his fate.
Looking at the pursuing soldiers getting closer and closer, he suddenly laughed miserably and lay flat on the ground, waiting for the soldiers to catch him.
He turned around and glanced at his wife, who was also lying on the ground, smiling miserably at him, and then at his son, who was sitting on the ground next to him and crawling around.
Aggie cried!
Waiting is often the most crippling thing, especially waiting to die.
But half an hour had passed since he lay down, and the pursuers still hadn't come over.
The arrows that kept flying over their heads at first no longer flew towards them.
Aji finally rested and sat up.
Looking at the soldiers in the distance, I was dumbfounded!
"Daughter-in-law, they stopped!"
Not bad, the soldiers in the distance, riding tall horses, stopped in the distance, lined up neatly, but did not dare to take another step forward.
Picking up his son who was tired from crying and already asleep, Aji seemed to remember something and looked back at the village not far away.
"Daughter-in-law, they are scared and they don't dare to chase me!"
Aji wanted to laugh, especially when he saw the leading general slap him in the face, which made him even more convinced of this.
"Let's go and enter the village!"
No matter what is in this village, as long as you enter, these soldiers will not dare to pursue you.
As long as they don't pursue it, they have hope.
………
Outside the village, Gu Shu and Lin Xian'er were busy in the fields.
Not far away, Lan'er was sitting there with her chin in her hands, watching boredly.
Suddenly, Gu Shu straightened up and looked not far away.
"Xian'er, it seems we have a visitor in our village."
Ancient magic is great. In the past, people coming to the village would do so secretly.
After coming here, help them get things done, and then leave secretly.
Therefore, he could not even be seen from the beginning to the end.
Until now, he had never seen the legendary little beggar.
Today was good, he saw someone.
Just looking at it, his brows furrowed.
Because these two, one big and one small, look a little embarrassed.
"Looks like he's on the run!"
In the current situation, he could not think of anyone else to flee except the people on the border of Xie Yue.
He put down the hoe in his hand and immediately rushed forward.
Bang!
Aji knelt on the ground. Although the wife next to him didn't understand what was going on, she followed suit and knelt down.
Gu Shu quickly helped him up.
"you……"
"I want to ask you to take in our child. He is still young and we really can't run away!"
"..."
It was baffling, but Gu Shu glanced at the sleeping child and frowned.
"You are..."
"Fleeing, young men are being captured everywhere. We fled from the nearest town.
Everyone ran away, and those who didn’t run were arrested, and no one was left alive!”
Aji is a grown man, and when he mentioned this, he burst into tears again.
Gu Shu understood, frowned slightly, and turned to look at his wife.
"Did anyone kill anyone?"
"Kill, as long as anyone who escapes is found, if the old man did not escape, kill them all.
All women and children who did not escape will be arrested."
With his fingers clenched, Gu Shu didn't know what he was feeling at this moment.
"Lan'er, take them into the village and stay there first."
"Master, but..."
"What? What I said still doesn't work, does it?"
Gu Shu suddenly raised his voice, causing Lan'er to immediately lower her head.
Lin Xian'er on the side saw this and quickly winked at Lan'er.
The person who knows the most about ancient arts is definitely his wife Lin Xianer.
At this time, she would not be stupid enough to contradict the other party.
