Dawn is always the darkest moment of every day. The moon has already set, but the sun has not risen, there is not a trace of starlight in the sky. But in the small forest at the entrance of Hu Village, I don't know when a large area of dark shadow has gathered, but the villagers of Hu Village, who have always been comfortable, are still immersed in their dreams.
Li Yuanhe walked at the front of the line with his long gun. Looking at the quiet village in front of him, Li Yuanhe was like a big fat sheep lying there, waiting for his skin to be roasted. Li Yuanhe turned his head and whispered to a group of officers of the vanguard army behind him: "remember our goal this time, only take grain, not gold and silver!"
"Here! Only grain, not gold and silver The officers nodded, and then passed Li Yuanhe's order to the back, and passed it on all the way until all the vanguard soldiers knew the order. All the officers and men knew the reason for this order. The attack on Hu village was just to collect enough food and grass. If the gold and silver were seized, it would not only be unable to feed the hungry in the future, but also increase the burden.
Li Yuanhe was also very satisfied that all the officers and men could understand their orders. The vanguard army was not weak at all. After several wars, it was more and more close to an iron and blood division. Immediately, Li Yuanhe turned his head, reached out and knocked down the mask on his helmet. His whole body was covered in dark armor, with only one pair of eyes flashing cold light from two holes in the mask. Li Yuanhe held up his spear and whispered to the village ahead: "vanguard army! Attack After that, he shook the reins with his other hand and clipped his legs. Then he rushed out in front of him. The horses' hooves were covered with thick cloth in advance, and they could only run quietly.
Under the leadership of Li Yuanhe, all the vanguard soldiers followed suit and rushed up. However, unlike the previous charge, the officers and men did not hiss and yell as before, nor did they pull out their weapons. This time, all the officers and soldiers were running towards the front with their mouths tightly closed. Some even tied their mouths with cloth strips. Nevertheless, this silent procession is vaguely emitting a breath of death.
After rushing into Hu Village, Li Yuanhe suddenly grabbed his mount at the entrance of the village, raised a hand and made a gesture to the soldiers behind him. All of a sudden, the officers and soldiers behind him were like a rushing black river. They met a huge rock on the river. They were directly divided into two streams and ran towards both sides of Hu village.
Hu Laoliu is the watchman of Hu village. Every day at dawn, he will get up and come out of his warm home. Although it is already spring, it is still a little chilly outside in the early morning. Hu Laoliu wrapped up his clothes and cursed the evil god. Then he yawned and walked out of the gate with gongs. In fact, Hu Laoliu doesn't pay much attention to the work of his own watchman. The villagers in Hu village are very rich. The only one who works hard is Li Ping, a child born to a woman who elopes with the Han people.
For Li Ping, Hu Laoliu is somewhat pitiful. He has no children of his own. If he didn't mind the eyes of other people in the village, I'm afraid he would have taken Li Ping as his own child. It's a pity that Li Ping's father is a Han nationality. Thinking of this, Hu Laoliu can't help but scold the Han people. Hu Laoliu was originally a retired veteran, and had fought several wars with the later Qin state. However, he didn't like the Han people very much.
He cursed Han dog and Han dog, but the work still had to be done. However, Hu Laoliu deliberately slowed down a little, so that Li Ping could sleep more. Finally, he went to the east of the village. Every day, he started to watch the night. Hu looked up to see the sky, but it was still dark. Immediately, Hu Laoliu shook his hands and feet, picked up the gongs and prepared to play the gongs.
All of a sudden, Hu Laoliu heard a sound of rope coming from the left, and immediately he gave Hu Laoliu a fright. Although Hu Laoliu has been on the battlefield, killed people and stained with blood, it does not mean that he is not afraid of ghosts and gods. How to say that Hu Laoliu is also old, how much of these ghosts and gods said or some fear. However, Hu Laoliu was still emboldened and called out to the left: "who, who, who!"
Unfortunately, there was no answer from anyone. The only answer to Hu Laoliu was a sudden gust of east wind, which made him feel a gloomy feeling. When Hu Laoliu was scared to run away, he seemed to smell a familiar smell with the east wind. Yes, it was bloody! Hu Laoliu immediately widened his eyes, yes, this is the smell of blood!
Hu Laoliu immediately realized that something must have happened. Even if he didn't want gongs and noodles, he walked directly along the bloody smell. It was the source of the smell of blood. It was the houses where he had just heard the sound. His whole back was numb with cold. However, as a watchman in the village, Hu Laoliu also had the duty of inspecting the village. At present, he only had the courage to walk towards the nearest house.
Just walked to the door, Hu Laoliu was about to reach out and push the door. Suddenly, a few barking dogs came from a nearby house. Hu Laoliu immediately recognized that it was the call of the native dog of Hu Shitou's family in the village. The barking of these dogs broke the silent night and seemed so sudden. But the barking came suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly. Just in the middle of the barking, it suddenly cut off, and Hu Laoliu's whole heart went up to his throat.At this time, Hu Laoliu had decided that something must have happened. It can't be said that some foreign strong men broke into the village. Because Hu village is close to Zhangcheng, there are no strong people around, so there is almost no security work in the village. However, Hu Laoliu was somewhat wary of how he said that he was also from the army. He immediately made a decision to run to the village head's house in the middle of the village. After all, in the whole village, the village head's house has the most hands.
However, before Hu Laoliu ran a few steps, he suddenly saw a few dark shadows in front of his eyes, and the current one jumped up to his top. When Hu Laoliu heard the familiar sound, he immediately knew that it was the sound of drawing a knife. The habit he had developed in the battlefield made him react in time. Hu Laoliu directly threw the Gong in his hand towards the black shadow. With a bang, the Gong surface was cut in two. However, with this delay, Hu Laoliu rolled on the ground, but avoided the knife.
"Eh?" Obviously, the black figure was surprised that Hu Laoliu could still have this skill, but he didn't know that the action just now exceeded the limit of Hu Laoliu. Although Hu Laoliu had been in the army for a long time, he was old after all. This tumbling took half of his life. Immediately, Hu Laoliu got up from the ground, but he didn't care whether his waist was going to be broken. He was going to run to the other side and opened his mouth wide, so that he could shout for help.
"No shouting!" Suddenly, a voice came from the other side. Although the voice was sharp and tender, it contained a chill in the voice. Then, a cold feeling came from the back of Hu Laoliu's neck, which made Hu Laoliu shiver with cold. The shouts that just came to his throat were forced back by Hu Laoliu.
"Good, good, good man, spare your life!" Hu Laoliu did not dare to be presumptuous. He knew from the news that these strong men were not petty thieves. Since they had already started to kill people, they would not care about adding their own old life to their hands. Therefore, Hu Laoliu does not dare to be a hero now, but he opens his mouth to ask for mercy.
"I'm not a hero! Six From Hu Laoliu's side, the voice of the cold and cold first stopped, and then said, but his voice is more warm, at least not as cold as just.
Liu Bo? Hearing this familiar address, Hu Laoliu was stunned. For a while, he forgot the big knife behind his head. He turned his head and saw a dark shadow standing beside him. Although the surrounding is dark, so that Hu Laoliu can not see each other's appearance, but still can see each other's body shape vaguely. The skinny figure was more familiar with the sight, and then thought of the voice just now, Hu Laoliu could not help exclaiming: "you, you are Li Ping!"
Before the other party answered, another voice came from the other side. He drank in a low voice and asked, "kid! What's going on? Why don't you do it! We don't have much time! Hold on! Otherwise, it would be a crime to delay the general's affairs! " However, the dark figure beside Hu Laoliu was obviously hesitant. He could feel the big knife moving up and down on his neck, but he was shocked to see his heart tremble.
Li Ping looks at the old man in front of him, but his heart is extremely contradictory. In the whole village of Hu, I'm afraid this veteran is the only one who is good to himself. Over the years, if it had not been for the veteran's support from time to time, I am afraid he would not have survived. Although Li Pingxin had vowed to kill all the southern barbarians and avenge his parents, he could not get the knife down in the face of the man who was kind to him.
