Chapter 65 Dead
Xia Chixiao's heart suddenly sank, and he involuntarily took a step back, as if the news was too sudden and rushed over with great force, making his heart suddenly shake, followed by a dense dull pain.

He took a step forward, gritted his teeth, pressed Luo Xiao's shoulders, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you saw... the body?"

Every word he spoke felt like a knife scraping his throat, and the sharp pain almost made him lose his voice.

He stared at Luo Xiao closely, his eyes gradually turning scarlet.

The clear yet compassionate voice lingered in his ears: "The road to exile is not literally a bitter word. There is lack of food and clothing, we are tired of running around, we starve to death in the wild, wild dogs eat human flesh, and we exchange children for food." , these are not just miserable in words!”

He originally thought that with the protectors he arranged, he could always protect his grandmother and the others to reach Zhangning City safely. The city had not been occupied, and although their life would not be good, it would not be too miserable.

He thought that they would not experience what those refugees experienced.

But now, there is only a bunch of pain in his heart, strands and layers of pain!
Especially when he thought of the hardships and misfortunes these two weak women would endure while migrating, his heart twitched.

He hated himself, why couldn't he be more thoughtful?
Luo Xiao lowered his head, and he was also annoyed that he left too late.

He could imagine his master's sadness, but the information he found out...

Although knowing this news was like a sharp knife to Xia Chixiao, he still had to say: "I rushed to Jiyuan City. The old lady and the young lady were escorted away before the city fell. I went to the retreat arranged by the general. I searched there for three days in Zhangning City, but they never went there. I had no choice but to return to Jining City and follow their evacuation route to search."

"But at that time, refugees were everywhere, bandits and road bullies were rampant, and the people sent by the general to protect them were destroyed one by one. I only found one person. They were scattered by the refugees when they came to the stage. The old lady and the young lady were nowhere to be found!"

"Based on the clues, I pursued and inquired all the way. After passing Lintai City, I heard from an old man that in Changshan Mansion, he had met a pair of grandparents and grandchildren who were about the same age as the old lady and the young lady. They met a homeless man. , robbed them of all their money, and wanted to...want to humiliate the granddaughter, so they jumped into the river and were washed away by the water."

Xia Chixiao's face turned gray every inch of his face.

Meeting a homeless man and almost being humiliated, jumping into a river and being swept away by the water?

Every word was like a knife, piercing straight into his heart and making his heart bleed!

This is my grandmother's temperament. She would rather be broken into pieces than destroyed!

He only felt that the sun was dazzling, and his whole body was shaking. Something rushed into his throat. He opened his mouth, and with a pop, a mouthful of blood spurted out on the ground.

Luo Xiao was startled and hurriedly went to help him. Seeing his general's face pale and painful, he hesitated and said: "General, jump into the river, maybe, maybe you won't die..."

Xia Chixiao gritted his teeth, his eyes already bloodshot, and he said nothing.

Luo Xiao lacked confidence and said: "Moreover, moreover, the land was full of refugees at that time. Even if they are of the same age, they may not be the right ones!"

"So, do you have any other news?"

Luo Xiao paused, not sure whether he should speak or not.

"Say!" The word was low and hoarse, as if squeezed out from between the teeth.

Luo Xiao did not dare to neglect and said quickly: "Also, there is a mountain in Hehua. Many people on the mountain gathered as bandits. Many of the refugees passing by the mountain were killed by them. If they met a young woman, they would kidnap them up the mountain. .”

"When I went there, the government had just wiped out the stronghold. I used the general's name to meet the survivors in the stronghold. They told me..."

"They confessed that one time they met a pair of grandparents. When they were trying to catch the granddaughter up the mountain, the mother-in-law tried her best to stop her. The second master of the cottage got angry and killed them. The granddaughter was robbed and went up the mountain, and she also looked for opportunities. Hit the wall and die..." Xia Chixiao's body swayed, and the cramping and discomfort in his heart was heavier, heavier and more painful than before.

Luo Xiao was shocked. He knew what he said was unacceptable, but he had to tell the general.

For more than a month, he wished he could search all over the northern territory, just to find the old lady and the young lady.

However, what he found was not good news. Knowing that it would hurt the general's heart, he could only tell the truth.

He quickly stood up and walked quickly to Xia Chixiao: "General, how are you?"

Xia Chixiao waved his hand.

At this moment, there was still a trace of bright red blood on the corner of his lips, and his face became paler. He was originally as tall as a pine tree, but now he was slightly rickety.

Why should he return to Beijing first?He should find it himself!
His eyes became more and more scarlet. He wiped his lips and looked at the blood on his hand. There was more pain and weakness in his eyes. His whole body seemed to suddenly become more haggard, and he did not make a sound for a long time.

His voice suddenly became gloomy: "Nothing will happen to them. They want to see people alive, but... they want to see their bodies when they die!"

Luo Xiao: "..."

After the war and migration three years ago, all the people in the five cities became refugees, and more than one hundred thousand people were involved?

There are countless dead bodies on the roadside. Some have been eaten by wild dogs, some have been devoured by wild beasts, some have been cooked by hungry people, some have been hacked and thrown into the mountains by bandits, and some have been buried on the spot by well-meaning people. how many.

If the old lady and the young lady were really unfortunate, where would they find their bodies?
But looking at Xia Chixiao's face and the overwhelming sadness in his eyes that could drown people, he could no longer say anything.

Maybe the general also knows that he may not be able to find anyone.

The reason why he was asked to look for it was just to keep a glimmer of hope in his heart!
No one can accept the news that their loved ones may no longer be alive.Even if he is as determined as a major general!
Xia Chixiao said solemnly: "As long as you don't see the bones, keep looking. Even if... you see the bones, I will confirm it myself!"

They won't die, definitely not.

My father died fighting for the North!
Now Pei's family only has his grandmother.

God will not be so cruel!

So what if Luo Xiao found out about a pair of grandparents?Maybe, they were also washed away, and they might be somewhere in the north, waiting for him to rescue them!
To the north, he wants to go back!
He said hoarsely: "I will go find it myself!"

Luo Xiao was startled and said hurriedly: "General, you can't leave the capital without permission now! My uncle was killed by a spy, and you worked so hard to find clues in the capital. If you just leave like this, all your previous efforts will be in vain. Got it!"

Xia Chixiao said nothing.

Luo Xiao was even more anxious, he said: "General! Master! If you give up searching for the cause of my uncle's death, is this what the old lady wants to see?"
You are right. Master has guarded the North for generations and how many people have he protected?God will not be so cruel. The old lady and the young lady are lucky, they must still be alive.

General, you can't act rashly!If they are found, but the general is convicted of leaving the capital without authorization, who can protect them in the future? "
