This unplanned war against bandits ended unexpectedly quickly.
From the narrow encounter with the bandits to the end of the battle, it took less than a quarter of an hour.
The whole village returned to silence, with only the crackling sound of the burning houses echoing in the night, reminding everyone that two massacres had just occurred here.
"Finish the last hits, put out the fire, and look for any survivors!"
Liang Zhen didn't even dismount his horse from beginning to end, and shouted out instructions.
The Qingjia Army immediately divided into several groups and moved around according to the order.
Some people went to check whether the bandits had survived, some went to carry water to put out the fire, and some went to find survivors...
Some people also dragged the corpses of the villagers out of the houses one after another and placed them one by one in the open space at the entrance of the village.
Most of them were killed with one knife, and the knife edge was at the heart.
Looking at these corpses, Wei Changtian felt more and more something was wrong, but Liang Qin came back at this time.
"Dad! Brother Changtian!"
She first shouted at the two of them, and then turned to stare at Cao Shu, with a hint of anger and sadness in her tone.
"Master Cao! Are you satisfied now?"
"If you hadn't pushed back and forth from the beginning, these people wouldn't have died!"
"I……"
Cao Shu's face fell instantly, and Liang Zhen quickly shouted angrily to save him: "Qin'er! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Master Cao has his own considerations. If you want to blame, blame these bandits!"
"snort!"
Liang Qin opened his mouth, but in the end he groaned and stopped talking. He walked aside and began to wipe the blood on his body.
Liang Zhen cupped his hands and said something to Cao Shu, "Master Cao, don't be as knowledgeable as a little girl." Then several soldiers not far away ran back to report the situation:
"General! There are a total of one hundred and twenty-eight bandits. No one escaped. They have all been killed."
"Only a dozen of my brothers were slightly injured, but dozens of horses died."
"Um."
Liang Zhen nodded and asked: "How many people died?"
"More than 200 bodies have been found, and some are estimated to be buried in the ruins of houses."
"Is there anyone alive?"
"There was a little girl and a woman."
"Bring them here."
"yes!"
The soldier waved back, and immediately someone led two figures, one large and one small, over.
The woman was about thirty years old. Her linen clothes were in tatters and her hair was messy.
However, if you look closely, you can find that she is actually quite good in appearance and figure, and she should be quite charming if she dresses up.
To put it simply, there are three words - beautiful mature woman.
As for the other little girl, everyone just met her at noon today...
"A Chun?"
Liang Qin was the first to react, and immediately ran over and bent down to ask, "Does your family live here?"
"..."
Ah Chun widened his eyes and said nothing, as if he was frightened.
Liang Qin wiped the stains on her face with some distress, and looked up at a soldier next to her.
The latter immediately understood and explained:
"Miss, we found her in a well."
"At that time, I was waiting in a burned-down house to inspect, and happened to hear the sound of water falling from the well. I went over to check and rescued her."
"It is estimated that she first hid in the well by clinging to the well rope, and finally fell into the water because she was exhausted..."
After the soldiers explained the whole story in a few words, Achun finally came to his senses at this moment. He bent his knees and knelt down on the ground, leaning over and kowtowing.
"Thank you, thank you madam, thank you sir!"
Ah Chun suppressed her crying, her little figure lying on her back, her voice full of gratitude.
Liang Qin stepped forward and held her in his arms, his heart almost melted.
Such a sensible child ended up with such a miserable life.
Not only are my parents gone, but now my family is gone.
"Ah Chun doesn't cry, Ah Chun doesn't cry."
Liang Qin patted Achun's little head and said softly: "You will follow us from now on, okay?"
"Husband, madam, are you willing to take me in?"
"Of course." Liang Qin smiled and nodded.
"..."
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and suddenly tears welled up again, her voice full of excitement and joy.
"Thank you, madam, thank you madam!"
"Husband, don't worry, madam, I eat very little and do a lot of work..."
Ah Chun hurriedly began to introduce his "advantages", but everyone felt a little sad when they heard this.
A little girl who has no relatives and has just saved her life from death. In order to survive, she sells herself like introducing goods...
Many of these soldiers have wives and children. At this time, it is inevitable to think that if one day he dies, his wife and children at home will not know how to survive...
Some people felt sad, but Liang Zhen was quite distressed at this time.
Because Liang Qin has already taken in many maids like this!
It's not that the Liang family can't afford to support so many people, but this is not a long-term solution after all.
There are so many pitiful people in the world, you can't just accept them when you see them, right?
But he couldn't deal with this kind of thing, so Liang Qin had no choice but to sigh helplessly, turned to look at the woman, and asked casually:
"How did you survive?"
"grown ups!"
The woman had been wiping her tears just now. Now that she was finally asked, she immediately cried loudly: "I was hiding in the firewood pile at home just now. I didn't dare to come out until the sound of fighting outside stopped. I happened to meet him.
Several military masters..."
Several soldiers nearby nodded, proving that this was indeed the case.
"Where are the other people in your family?" Liang Zhen asked again.
"Dead! My man and my son! They were all killed by those bandits who slashed them with thousands of swords!"
The woman wailed in grief: "How should I survive in this world if I am the only woman left?"
"If I had known this, I might as well have let the bandit kill me too!"
"Woooooooo..."
If Ah Chun makes people feel sad and distressed, then this woman is miserable at this moment.
If everyone else in the village was okay, she, a widow, might still have some hope of survival.
But now that the whole village is gone, and she is already so old, she may have no other choice but to live in a brothel.
Everyone was silent again for a while, but at this moment, Wei Changtian suddenly said something very inappropriate and even extremely harsh.
"Since you can't survive, you might as well die now."
???
For a moment, everyone looked at Wei Changtian in astonishment, wondering why he would say such a thing.
No matter how lowly this woman's status is, she is still a poor person who has just lost her husband and son!
However, before they could react, Wei Changtian immediately made a move that shocked them even more.
After he finished speaking, there was almost no hesitation. He jumped out from the horse and ran straight towards the wide-eyed woman at an extremely fast speed!
"Whoa!"
The dragon roars out of its sheath and returns to the dust with a sword!
In just an instant, the woman's head flew into the air, and Wei Changtian didn't even have the intention to stop. As if he was crazy, he turned back and stabbed the woman five or six times in several key places on her body!
"Plop!"
The head fell to the ground, the body rolled over, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Changtian! What are you doing?"
Liang Zhen came back to his senses at this time, and was stunned to ask Wei Changtian why he wanted to kill someone violently.
However, before Wei Changtian could answer, Liang Qin suddenly rushed over and stood in front of the woman's riddled corpse, with anger and disappointment written on his face.
"What's there to say!"
"Brother Changtian! You disappoint me so much!!"
"I thought you had changed!!"
"But I didn't expect you to be as scary as before, no, more terrifying than before!!"
Liang Qin was really disappointed with Wei Changtian at this time.
After all, although the previous owner was extremely violent, he always had a reason for killing people.
But now...
Liang Qin suddenly thought of the way Wei Changtian stood idly by while suppressing the bandits, and felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart, and his eyes became more and more cold.
She stared at Wei Changtian, not even noticing the changes in the expressions of others around her.
"Brother Changtian, this is the last time I call you like this..."
"I will never have anything to do with you again..."
Liang Qin didn't finish her sentence, because Wei Changtian pointed behind her at this moment.
She almost subconsciously turned her head to look, and then her eyes widened and she froze.
Under the moonlight, there is no woman anywhere in the pool of blood.
