Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 22
"Is there anyone here?"

"How far?"

Liu Wei's words drew cheers from Gao Yuniang and Yang Zaixing, and even the wolf boy Xiaoyu raised his head with an "Aww", looking left and right, looking very clever.

"It's not that far away, let's go and have a look later." Liu Wei nodded, as if he had finalized the next itinerary.

After more than half an hour, Liu Wei pushed the cart and headed towards the direction of the cooking smoke.

After walking more than half of the distance, Liu Wei raised his head and looked at the smoke through the treetops. It seemed to be the same, but it seemed to be a little lighter.However, Gao Yuniang, who was sitting in the cart at this time, frowned and said:
"Liu Wei, that doesn't seem to be cooking smoke!"

"It's not cooking smoke? If it's not cooking smoke, what kind of smoke is that?" Liu Wei stopped involuntarily.In the era he lived in, there was basically no such thing as cooking smoke, so when he saw a column of smoke, Liu Wei naturally associated it with cooking smoke.

"No, it looks like smoke from embers after a fire. Look, Liu Wei, the smoke is black, straight, and as light as cooking smoke, floating. The more you look at it, the less it looks like it!"

"you are right."

At this moment, Liu Yi hesitated a little.If it is not cooking smoke but excessive fire, there may be two situations: one is a wildfire, which was just a waste of time in the past; the other situation may also be the presence of troops or strongmen, who used to send sheep to the tiger's mouth.

If Liu Wei was alone, he would have nothing to worry about. Whether it was running for nothing or being a strongman, as long as he was careful, there should be no problem.

but.

Turning his head to look at Yang Zaixing who was on the verge of falling, and Yuniang who was trying to beat his head, then looked up at the sky, gritted his teeth and said, "Since we're halfway there, go and have a look carefully, it shouldn't be a problem!"

"Then be careful!"

Gao Yuniang is not the kind of girl who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't go out. She also has a lot of experience in traveling the rivers and lakes. If Liu Wei can think of it, she can naturally think of it.

"There is a place to stay!" Yang Zaixing cheered again after listening to Liu Wei and Gao Yuniang's agreement.

"Don't make a loud noise, let's go!"

The three of them started on the road again, walking unhurriedly towards the direction of the smoke column.Liu Wei was very careful along the way, trying not to miss any details. When he was still a mile or two away from the smoke column, Liu Wei suddenly stopped, let go of the cart, walked to a bush, and tore off a piece of fabric. .

"It's not what sergeants wear."

Gao Yuniang took the fabric from Liu Wei's hand, looked at it over and over again, and finally said, "This is the coarse cloth worn by people in ordinary mountain villages. I wove it by myself. There should be a mountain village in front of me."

"It's great to have a mountain village!" Xiao Zaixing was quite happy, and his spirits lifted.

"Don't be too happy, unless the black smoke we see is because they are burning wasteland." Gao Yuniang frowned, and poured a basin of cold water on Yang Zaixing's heart. The child was frustrated and looked at Liu Wei with aggrieved eyes.

"Yu Niang is right. It's always good to be careful. If there is a suitable place in front of you, stop. I'll touch it first and have a look."

After making such a decision, Liu Wei was actually not at ease. After all, Gao Yuniang and Yang Zaixing really didn't have the ability to defend against crises.

When the three of them walked to the edge of a cliff, Liu Wei found a hollow, and it was not too deep to go in, and it was a dry dead end.

"You guys rest here, I hope you get some food to fill your belly with Yuniang, I'll go ahead and have a look." Touching the three-edged thorn on his back, Liu Wei didn't allow the two of them to object, and straightened his clothes After wiping off his sweat, he strode towards the black smoke that was almost invisible.

After walking more than a hundred steps, Liu Wei came across a small stream.The water in the stream was clear, no more than ankle deep, but on the other side of the stream, there was a dead body lying there!
Frowning, Liu Wei squatted behind a large rock by the stream and observed carefully, scanning the other side of the stream one by one in the way that later generations would look for snipers. After confirming that there was no danger, he waded across the water and came to the corpse.

This is a female corpse, a half naked female corpse.

Because the corpse was black and swollen, and seemed to have been bitten by wild animals in the mountains, Liu Wei could not judge its age, but looking at its bare feet and the lower garments of the same texture as the coarse cloth found earlier, Liu Wei felt that It should be the mountain people in the village in front.

"What on earth happened?"

Liu Wei didn't move the corpse, he took out the three-edged thorn and held it in his hand, and bent forward like a leopard.

Bamboo is easy to grow by the stream, and this place is no exception.

The clumps of bamboo forests have almost become one piece, occupying the open space on both sides of the stream.It was extremely difficult for Liu Wei to shuttle between the thick bamboos. The overly dense bamboos not only blocked the sight, but even the pervasive wind seemed to be completely shielded from the bamboo forest.

In fact, Liu Wei can choose not to walk in the bamboo forest. Just beside the bamboo forest, there is a path stepped on by people not far from the female corpse. There are stones piled up at the place where the path meets the stream. Where to get water, is to wash there, close your eyes, Liu Wei will be able to see the scene when he puts the Buddha:

In the crystal-clear stream, bare-bottomed children are playing; a few daughters-in-law and older daughters are squatting on the rocks by the stream, beating and washing their clothes; With a sweaty face, he bowed another stream of water, threw it on the child in the stream, and shouted: "Go, go home with Dad to eat meat!"

Open your eyes, the stream is quiet, except for the broken female corpse, there are only dragonflies splashing water.

With a bad premonition in Liu Wei's heart, he pushed aside the bamboo pole with his left hand, gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

Finally, the bamboo forest became sparse and windy.

When the wind came, in addition to being cool, it also brought Liu Wei a burnt smell.

This villa is probably composed of Orion families. Before Liu Wei could fully walk out of the bamboo forest, a row of bamboo fences taller than him appeared in front of him.

Using local materials, the bamboo fence made of whole bamboos has turned golden yellow and is completely dry, and the smell of scorching is coming from behind the bamboo fence.

"Quiet and scary!"

Liu Wei had already walked to the root of the bamboo fence. It is reasonable to say that there is no Orion who does not have a dog, and the hunting dog is the most agile, so it should be barking at this time.

"Could it be that."

Liu Wei didn't hesitate anymore, he walked along the bamboo fence for only thirty steps, but he didn't see the gate of the village, it was the fallen bamboo fence that was wide open.

Through the fallen bamboo fence, in front of Liu Wei's eyes are darkened stone houses, scorched wooden houses, scattered walls, and dead people!

Dead people, everywhere.

Swarms of flies were flying in groups, and they landed on the blackened and swollen corpses. The whole village exuded a stench, like a garbage dump that Liu Wei had visited in later life.

The house was either demolished or set on fire, and the smoke column that Liu Wei saw in the distance was the last embers of a wooden house.

Pulling off a strip of cloth and tying it outside his mouth and nose, Liu Wei carefully searched for a place to stay and entered the village.

There are old people and children; there are men and there are women.

The village is not big, and a stick of incense is enough for Liu Wei to circle around.

There were no chickens, no dogs, let alone pigs, cattle and sheep. The whole village was as clean as if it had been ransacked by a group of beggars. Everything that could be eaten was taken away, and everything that could be used was smashed.

It's okay to be smashed, because no one needs to use it anymore, because there are no living people anymore!

A little boy who looked only seven or eight years old was facing the sky, his eye sockets were already empty, and he didn't know if his eyeballs had been pecked by a bird, but Liu Wei always felt that something was looking at those dark eye sockets. Looking at him, he felt flustered in his heart.

The little boy was not wearing any clothes on his upper body, and his skin looked a bit dark, as if he had sun-dried himself by playing in the water by the stream. There was a big hole in his chest, and white rotten flesh hung on the edge of the big hole.

It was the hole poked out by the spear.

Not far from the boy lay a woman without her skirt on her stomach, with a feathered arrow still stuck in her shoulder.

Swallowing a mouthful of hatred, Liu Wei walked up to the woman and reached out to pull out the feathered arrow.

It was surprisingly easy, the muscles bitten by the feathered arrow might have been rotted, Liu Wei pulled out the feathered arrow without any effort, and there was a black mass on the arrow cluster.

"Golden dog!"

In fact, looking at Liu Wei from a distance, he was basically sure that the feather arrow came from a Jin man, and the reason why he pulled it out was just to make sure.

The entire village was littered with corpses, not only looking extremely miserable, but also turning the whole environment into a hellish place.

Liu Wei has already circled around. There is no one alive, and he can't find any traces of people's activities in the past two days. He judges that this should be a Song village that Jin Bing swept up, and it may take three or four days or even longer. Before and after, no one came.

It is located in a remote place, and with the threat of the Jinren, if Liu Wei and the other three hadn't happened to pass by, and it hadn't rained for several days, they might not have been discovered in a few years.

"It's better to bury it in peace."

While it was still early, Liu Wei suppressed the anger in his heart, found a house whose cellar was exposed because of the fire, and dragged the corpses into the cellar one by one.

Those men had at least three or two scars on their bodies, including knives, guns, and arrows!
"Does the golden dog of Gou Ri treat the mountain people like a regular army?" Looking at those wounds, Liu Wei couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

And most of the older people, regardless of gender, have only one kind of injury on their bodies - the neck was split, or it was directly severed!Obviously, these old people should be gathered and killed by the golden dogs.

And what Liu Wei couldn't stand the most were young women and children!

There are obviously not many corpses of the young woman, but almost all of them are naked, and the death conditions are extremely terrifying, with the intestines pierced and the stomach rotten, some important parts of the body have been cut off, and even penetrated by bamboo poles and so on.Looking at the appearance of these Song women, Liu Wei couldn't help but think of some old photos seen in later generations. During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, what the beasts did!

"Golden dog, you deserve to die, foreigners, you all deserve to die!"

After throwing a corpse of a woman whose upper body was cut into pieces and lower body was ravaged (ravaged), still staring at the empty eyes, Liu Wei finally couldn't help but threw himself on the ground, beating the ground with his fists!

"Revenge, we want revenge!"

Opening his chest, Liu Wei roared on his back!
