Chapter 30
The sun gradually set into the western mountain, and the whole world began to darken.Zhao Wen sat on the horse and rubbed his swollen eyes.

The bloody smell on his body was so strong that it made him runny nose constantly.

Zhao Daniu was sitting on the cart, driving leisurely.From time to time, he caressed the big cart behind him, looking like a money fan.

Song Hu looked around vigilantly, for fear that a tartar would suddenly rush over.

Flames gradually appeared in the distance, which was the burning village.

There was a burning smell in the air, Zhao Wen frowned and looked forward.

A burning village turned into ruins and scorched black appeared in front of everyone. Zhao Wen stopped and looked at the burning village.

The entire village was ruined and scorched, and countless houses collapsed in flames. Those wooden beams were lying on the ground, burning quietly, crackling from time to time.

The straw on the roof has long been burned, leaving only a pile of black ash, which spreads when the wind blows.

The burning smell in the air was mixed with a foul smell, which was the smell of burning corpses.

Zhao Wen jumped off his horse and walked slowly towards the village.

Song Hu and Zhao Daniu also got off their horses and followed closely behind Zhao Wen.

From time to time, several charred and charred corpses appeared on the ground. They were either lying on their backs or lying on the ground, exuding a stench, and a few wisps of black smoke occasionally emitted from their bodies.

Looking at these corpses, Zhao Wen felt that something was stuck in his chest.

"These damned Tartars!"

Zhao Wen's eyes were scarlet, his hair stood on end, and his hands were tightly clenched. Looking at the corpses on the ground, his face was flushed, and his heartbeat continued to speed up.

This is Daming?This is the Huaxia that has been passed down for thousands of years?This is the great empire that has always stood in the east?
Zhao Wen was panting heavily, unable to recover for a long time.He really didn't want to believe the scene in front of him.

Zhao Wen sat on the ground slowly, holding his head in his hands.The body kept shaking.

"Oh, it's miserable. When Grandpa Qi was in the north, which Tartar would dare to be so arrogant? From the late Jiajing Dynasty to the early Wanli Dynasty, which Tartar would dare to attack my Daming? When Li Chengliang was still there, Nurhachi's wild boar skin Like a dog, at the beck and call of Li Chengliang. But now? Since the death of the temple master, all kinds of ghosts and snakes have come. The Tartars of the grassland, the slaves of Liaodong." Song Hu sighed, his fists clenched hold together.

Zhao Daniu stood at the back, looking at the people of Daming who died miserably on the ground, and fell silent.He tightly gripped the reins of the horse in his hand, his knuckles turned white.

"woo woo woo woo!"

At this moment, a faint cry sounded.

Zhao Wenxuan stood up from the ground and looked around.

Song Hu and Zhao Daniu also held their breath and listened quietly.

"In the southwest!"

As soon as Zhao Wen pointed in that direction, he threw away the reins of the horse in his hand and ran towards that direction.

Song Hu and Zhao Daniu followed closely behind Zhao Wen.

"Woooooo!"

The crying became louder and more pronounced.

Zhao Wen stopped outside a courtyard that had turned into ashes. He held his breath and listened quietly.

"inside!"

Zhao Wen shouted anxiously, kicked open the burned and deformed door, and rushed inside.

When Zhao Wen and others rushed into the courtyard, the crying disappeared.

Zhao Wen stood in the courtyard, carefully observing the surroundings.

"There's a well over there!" Zhao Daniu exclaimed, pointing to a well with dead bodies lying on the mouth of the well.

Zhao Wen rushed to the well and pushed the corpses away.

Listening to the sound just now, it seemed to come from this well.

"Is there anyone inside?" Zhao Wen put his head into the mouth of the well and shouted.

The echo was floating in the well, and Zhao Wen stared at the bottom of the well.

Unfortunately, the night was so dark that Zhao Wen couldn't see clearly what was going on at the bottom of the well.

"There must be someone down here!" Zhao Wen stood up, pointed at the well, and said in a deep voice.

"Then what should we do? The mouth of the well is so small that we can't get in." Zhao Daniu looked at the mouth of the well and gestured on himself.

The mouth of the well in front of me is a circle thinner than Zhao Daniu's waist, let alone Zhao Daniu, even Zhao Wen, it is not easy to get in.Not to mention Song Hu, who is about the same size as Zhao Daniu.

"You let me go down, I'll go down and have a look." Zhao Wen frowned as he looked at the dark wellhead.

"No, you can't go down. What if something happens?" Song Hu asserted.

"Then what do you think we should do? There are people inside, what if we get down late and drown?" Zhao Wen looked at Song Hu impatiently and scolded.

"Then even if we go down, it's us who go down. What does it look like for you to go down?" Song Hu firmly disagreed with Zhao Wen's idea.After all, Zhao Wen helped them too much, if something happened to them, wouldn't they become ungrateful people?
Besides, Zhao Wennai is a god in the sky, if there is a mistake, wouldn't he offend the sky?

"Are you able to go down? Don't be naughty, I'll go down by myself." With an unquestionable expression on his face, Zhao Wen directly picked up the rope by the well and wrapped it around his waist.

Song Hu and Zhao Daniu looked at the extremely stubborn Zhao Wen, so they had no choice but to agree to let Zhao Wen go down.

Zhao Wen tied the rope around his waist, handed the other end of the rope to Song Hu and Zhao Daniu, and then walked slowly towards the mouth of the well.

"Slow down, if there is anything wrong down there, just yell, and Daniu and I will pull you up directly." Song Hu held the rope tightly, his eyes full of worry.

"Aren't you worried about my work? All right, I'll go down first."

Zhao Wen's whole body disappeared at the mouth of the well, while Song Hu and Zhao Daniu stood at the mouth of the well, slowly lowering the rope.

"Let go, keep playing!"

Zhao Wen's shout came from the well, Zhao Daniu and Song Hu slowly loosened the rope in their hands, and then held it tightly again.

"Okay, it's over." Zhao Wen was floating on the water and shouted upwards.

Song Hu tied the rope tightly to a big rock next to him, put his head to the mouth of the well, and shouted, "Did you find anything?"

However, Zhao Wen's voice did not come from the well.

Song Hu and Zhao Daniu's hearts suddenly lifted.

Zhao Daniu held the rope tightly, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he was about to pull Zhao Wen up.

"Don't worry, just wait!" Song Hu hurriedly stopped Zhao Daniu.

Zhao Wen's lower body was soaked in the well water. He wiped off the water stains on his face and looked around.

This well is small at the top and big at the bottom.Only one person can pass through at the top, but below, it is estimated that seven or eight people will not be a problem.

The bottom of the well was pitch black, Zhao Wen squinted his eyes, and moved forward along the side of the well.

"What is this?" Zhao Wen suddenly touched an extremely soft and warm spherical object. For a moment, Zhao Wen was a little dazed.

What strange things could there be in this well?

"Shh!"

A white light suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Wen's eyes, and flew towards Zhao Wen's head.

Zhao Wen's pupils shrank suddenly, and his head hurriedly tilted back.

"Pfft!"

Zhao Wen was still a step too late, and a gleaming knife was stuck in his shoulder. Before he had time to look down at the knife stuck in his shoulder, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed it forward.

"You bastard, I'll fight you!" A voice suddenly appeared in Zhao Wen's ear.

"My lord, what happened?" Zhao Daniu yelled loudly when he heard the sound from the bottom of the well.

"Nothing!"

When Zhao Daniu heard Zhao Wen's voice, Zhao Daniu and Song Hu felt relieved and stood quietly at the mouth of the well, ready to pull the rope at any time.

"Girl, I'm not a Tartar."

It wasn't until now that Zhao Wen realized that what he saw in front of him was a woman.

It's a pity that the lighting is too dim to see the specific appearance.

"I fought with you!"

The girl yelled coquettishly, and rushed towards Zhao Wen. She put her arms around Zhao Wen's neck, opened her mouth and bit Zhao Wen's neck.

Obviously, this girl regarded Zhao Wen as a Tartar.

Zhao Wen hurriedly pushed the girl away, and said in a deep voice, "I've said it all, I'm not a Tartar, why are you like this?"

Zhao Wen tightly covered the girl's mouth with his left hand, wrapped his arms around her waist with his right hand, and then shouted to the top: "Daniu, pull up quickly. There are people below."

Zhao Daniu squatted at the mouth of the well, heard Zhao Wen's voice, and hurriedly pulled the rope with Song Hu.

After a few breaths, a wet woman appeared at the mouth of the well.

Zhao Daniu was taken aback, how could this be a woman?

Song Hu didn't think too much, and hurriedly pulled the woman out.

"You group of Tartars, I will fight with you."

As soon as the woman was dragged out of the well by Song Hu, she went crazy and rushed towards Song Hu.

Song Hu hurriedly dodged back, then stretched out his right hand, and lightly tapped on the woman's waist.

The woman let out a muffled grunt and fell powerlessly to the ground.

Zhao Wen crawled out from the mouth of the well and leaned against the side of the well, "Song Hu, come quickly and help me pull out this knife!"

"Your Excellency, are you injured?" Song Hu realized that Zhao Wen had a gleaming dagger on his shoulder.

"Yeah, it was penetrated by her!"

Zhao Wen pointed to the woman lying on the ground, and said in cold sweat.

"My lord, please bear with me!"

Song Hu held the handle of the knife, said softly, and then pulled out the short knife with force with both hands.

"Pfft!"

A bloody arrow flew out, and Song Hu hurriedly pressed it on Zhao Wen's wound.

"Daniu, hurry up and get some fabric!"

Song Hu pressed the wound tightly with both hands, turned his head, and said loudly.

Zhao Daniu hastily tore off a strand of cloth from the inner hem of his clothes, and wrapped it around Zhao Wen's shoulders.

After a moment of effort, Zhao Wen's shoulders were tightly bound.But it also stopped the bleeding.

Zhao Wen let out a long breath, looked at the woman lying on the ground, stood up, and said: "You are so unreasonable, I was saving you, and you stabbed me."

The woman was lying on the ground with a pale face and tears streaming from her eyes.

"Hehe, you Tartars killed seventeen members of my family, and now you are pretending to save me?" The woman stared at Zhao Wen, and sneered.

Zhao Wen was taken aback, and then said: "I am a Tartar? Have you ever seen a Tartar who speaks Chinese so fluently? Have you ever seen a Tartar wearing a mandarin duck jacket? You didn't even know who you were, so you just did it casually." , you woman, you are simply too messy."

The woman lying on the ground was stunned for a moment, and with the help of the firelight, she could see clearly the appearance of the man in front of her.

The clothes on this body are indeed the mandarin duck war jackets of the Ming army, and they also look like Ming people, not those ugly tartars.
