Chapter 171: Knot

"Brother-in-law, I want to practice martial arts."

Regarding martial arts, Li Jinhu is very thoughtful. The scholars of Lushan Academy are all thin and pale, and they have to stay in bed and drink bitter medicine soup due to some changes in the climate. He collapsed in the examination room and lost the chance to achieve fame.

Practicing martial arts can at least strengthen your body and make you feel confident when encountering similar sudden situations.

"However, practicing martial arts has to suffer."

Xiao Lingchuan nodded to show that he knew, and he asked, "Are you sure you can survive?"

"I can."

Li Jinhu gritted his teeth, with a firm expression on his face. Martial arts practice has many benefits, and if you get benefits, you must pay the price, which is fair.

During the gap between the two people's conversation, the shouts of killing outside were even louder. Unlike before, the people seemed to be resisting. The men in the border town were all bloody, not for one bite, but for absolutely not watching the barbarians commit violence. Don't even dare to fart, are you still a man!

"Husband, we are hiding here and are safe for the time being."

Li Haitang opened her bag, and she still had a little drug powder in her hand, which was enough for defense.

If her savage husband goes to help, it will be a powerful help. In fact, she also wants to go out. Considering her strength, Li Haitang gave up again. All she can do is not to cause trouble.

"it is good."

Xiao Lingchuan handed the hatchet in his hand to his wife, "I'm nearby, if you encounter danger, you can yell."

Time passed bit by bit, the cold wind was blowing in the cellar, Chun Niang's lips were purple, leaning against where, shivering.

Li Haitang had already given Chunniang her cloak, and she kept walking around the cellar with her arms folded.

"About ten years ago, the barbarians also sneaked in late at night."

Chun Niang broke the silence with a sigh.

That night, also before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was snowing heavily. At that time, she and He Fang had just opened a small cloth shop and were tallying goods in the warehouse.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of that year, there was a lantern festival held in the border town, and there was no curfew at night. The couple tallied the goods, thinking that they would set up a small stall during the festival and earn some money.

"In the middle of the night, a little sound can be heard far away."

He Fang comforted Chun Niang and added that when he heard the sound of horseshoes, he was still very surprised and thought it was a caravan passing by in the middle of the night.

"Chun Niang was thirsty, so I poured hot water into the stove, followed the crack of the door, and saw the door of the next door was smashed open."

He Fang heard the woman diagonally opposite the door crying for her son. It was a boy of a certain age. He couldn't relax all day long. He ran wildly with his friends in the alley. During the Chinese New Year, he even threw firecrackers into the yard of his house. .

That??? The little baby who used to be alive and well was stabbed in the chest with a knife, and just died like that. His mother wailed and wanted to fight those people desperately, and then there was no news. The end can be imagined.

A series of fresh lives ended here, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and he couldn't go to others to uphold justice. He dragged Chun Niang and ran to the small room in the warehouse to hide.

"Every time I think about these ten years, I feel very guilty."

He Fang patted Chun Niang's hand and stood up. This was a knot in his heart that he couldn't get rid of. He was robbed by barbarians. What he thought in his mind was hiding, as a man, he was very ashamed.

Unexpectedly, ten years later, the tragedy happened again, but he didn't want to avoid it. If Chunniang was not pregnant, he would have rushed out immediately.

"Husband, I know you are uneasy, you go, pay attention to safety, my child and I will wait for you to come back."

Tears welled up in Chunniang's eyes, but she couldn't say a word to stop her. On the contrary, she could only reluctantly support her.

He Fang nodded, finally let go of Chunniang's hand, and rushed out under Li Haitang's surprised gaze.

As soon as he left, Chunniang couldn't help crying, her voice full of worry.

"Chun Niang, since you are afraid, why don't you stop me?"

Li Haitang asked aloud, sometimes it is really hard to understand, Chunniang is pregnant, so where should he be by his side?

But she can't say sarcasm, people think differently, just like in modern times, if countless revolutionary martyrs hadn't thrown their heads and blood, they wouldn't be able to change the peaceful and prosperous world today, millet plus rifles, knowing that it can't be done, but still fighting hard , relying on a spirit.

"He has been guilty of this for ten years, and now he has a chance to make amends. I have no reason to stop him."

Chunniang wiped away her tears, and gradually calmed down, because the shouting outside was very small, and it seemed that it was coming to an end.

The wait was the longest, so Li Haitang tried his best to adjust the atmosphere by talking about relaxing topics.

When she was almost unable to survive, heavy footsteps came from the entrance of the cellar.

Chunniang's expression froze, she subconsciously covered her stomach with her hands, and her body tensed up.

"Chun Niang, it's my husband."

Li Haitang curled her lips. She was sensitive to the scent of her savage husband, so she was definitely right.

Sure enough, Xiao Lingchuan brought a large basin of **** and brown sugar water, and took a teacup to keep everyone away from the cold. Li Haitang's eyes were sharp, and he saw blood stains on the sleeves of his clothes.

"The blood belongs to someone else."

Xiao Lingchuan first fed his wife a large bowl of warm **** soup, and then said to Chunniang's servant, "You help Chunniang go back to the house to rest first, and it's calm outside for a while."

"Where is it?"

Chunniang didn't care about herself, she knew best what her husband was like, her heart was up and down, and she didn't stop for a moment.

"He's very good. He's cooking porridge for you in the kitchen."

Xiao Lingchuan's face twitched, the emotion in his eyes flashed away, and then, like a cold pool, bottomless.

"Husband, I'll go up with you first."

After going out, Li Haitang took her own toolbox first. After the incident, the doctor was most needed in the city, and she had to help those in need.

Xu Shi pinpointed that before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every household had stock, and the barbarian team rushed to the door during this gap.

The city is much worse than the county. If you don't give anything, you will kill people. The barbarians are brutal, not only killing people, but also setting fire to the houses of several families.

When the Daqi city defense army arrived, the barbarians had already fled in all directions, but those who were caught were **** and wiped their necks immediately.

"The barbarians are really scary. Not only are they cruel to others, but they can also be cruel to themselves."

Li Haitang felt scared for a while, his little heart was beating wildly.

Walking to the street, there are crying and shouting everywhere.

It was already dawn, and the sky was gray. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the annual Lantern Festival, is a time for reunion, but many families are facing ruin.

The barbarians robbed things and disappeared, and the soldiers of Daqi were searching the whole city.

"Husband, the city gate is not open, where can the barbarians hide with so much food?" If they can't leave the city, they must still be in the city, so will they come for the second time or the third time? Li Haitang wanted to know who was responsible for the safety of the people in the city.
