"Daddy, wake up, you must wake up!" In the cave, Li Lian'er's voice was already crying.
Mr. Zheng and Mr. Song stood silently in front of the bed without saying a word.
The women, children, old and weak in the village were beside the two of them, looking quietly at Li Cheng with his eyes closed and Li Lian'er crying softly. In this fierce battle, almost all the young people in the village died.
As for Li Cheng, if Li Xingchen hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid even Li Cheng would have revealed where he was.
At the entrance of the cave, Li Xingchen couldn't see sadness or anger on his face. He just mechanically helped Xiao Shilian's men carry stones to block the entrance of the cave. Fortunately, the cave was big enough - after all, it was Li Cheng, the Zheng family and the Song family.
The hiding place that the two old men worked hard to find - so it is enough to accommodate so many people.
"Brother Chen, let's have something to eat." Song Fei walked slowly to Li Xinchen.
Zheng Qing died, and most of the young people in the village died, leaving only Song Fei, Li Qiu, Zheng Ping and two other people who were with Song Fei.
Thinking that there were more than 20 people when he set out last night, but now there are only five people left, Song Fei couldn't help but get a little wet in his eyes, not to mention that among the people who left, there were people like Zheng Qing who had grown up since childhood.
The companions who grew up with him were of course unacceptable to Sein Fei. And he was the only one who felt uncomfortable. The other young people around him were also the women, children, old and weak people in the village. Who was not secretly crying?
This sudden bloody battle can really be said to be a fight for every family.
But now no one can care about the dead. After all, they can no longer protect themselves.
Hearing Song Fei's voice, Li Xingchen's hands trembled, and he sat down with a slight hum.
And Xiao Shilian took an old soldier and climbed in with difficulty using the small entrance left from outside the cave. The darkness and humidity of the cave actually made Xiao Shilian breathe a sigh of relief. Perhaps only this environment could bring him a sense of safety.
feel.
He casually took the pancake handed over by an old soldier and took a bite. Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice: "The barbarians and those bandits are coming up again. I don't know if they can discover the mystery here, I just hope they can escape.
Tribulation.”
Li Xingchen nodded and forced a smile: "This time I really hurt the general."
Xiao Shilian suddenly waved his fist in the air angrily: "What do you mean! Originally, it was our responsibility to deal with the barbarians and eliminate the mountain bandits. If we throw you to these guys who want to kill people and silence them, then we will defend this side.
What’s the point of territory and people?!”
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment, while Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well, actually I don't know the mystery and truth here, but I often hear my father say this, and my father has always used it to educate my two brothers.
, so I always keep it in my heart and never dare to forget it.”
Xiao Mohe? Li Xingchen murmured with emotion in his heart.
It's a pity that Xiao Mohe, who had such a wish, ended up having more than enough ambition but not enough energy.
Seeing Li Xingchen in a daze, Xiao Shilian didn't know whether he said something wrong or whether Li Xingchen was worried about the dangerous situation in front of him. He hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Brother Li, don't worry, we will definitely be able to get out. Even if we kill him with our own strength,
If we don't go out, General Wu Yi will send people to rescue us after receiving the news. And my uncle is just a little bit seriously injured. Don't worry, he will be fine. All of this will definitely be possible...
·”
"Dad!" At this moment, Li Lian'er's lung-breaking cry suddenly came from deep in the cave.
"Dad?" Li Xingchen trembled all over, suddenly jumped up and ran towards the depths. When Song Fei and others saw this, they also hurriedly followed.
Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xingchen's back in a daze, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand and slapped himself hard in the mouth: "You have a crow's mouth, what do you say?"
——————————————-
"Why are you crying!" Li Cheng's voice was low and hoarse, and the most authentic Wu Nong's soft words were spoken in the mouth of this dying old man who was covered in blood. There was no sense of disobedience at all.
Everyone present could not help but want to wipe away tears.
Li Lian'er just buried his head and whined, obviously not listening to Li Cheng's scolding. Li Cheng sighed softly, and gently stroked his daughter's hair with his trembling hands: "Lian'er, be good... the old man is so
I have lived a sufficient life in my life. I didn’t expect that I would take away so many barbarians when I left. It is not a loss. I can give... ahem..."
"Dad!" Lian'er hurriedly raised her head to look at Li Cheng, and the people around her subconsciously gathered around. Mr. Song reached out and patted Li Lian'er gently:
"Little girl Lian'er, stop crying and let your father finish his words."
"Dad!" At this time, Li Xingchen also walked over quickly, while Song Fei, Xiao Shilian and others also followed silently.
A smile appeared on Li Cheng's face and he grabbed Li Xinchen's hand: "Xinchen, you are here..."
Li Xingchen took a bowl of water and wanted to serve Li Cheng to drink it: "Dad, please drink some water first, you are so sick..."
Li Chengyi raised his hand: "Dad is about to die soon. Daddy knows this very well. He doesn't have much to say. Please listen carefully to what Daddy has to say."
Li Xingchen's eyes were already wet. He knew that the battle just now consumed the old man's physical strength. In addition, he lost too much blood. For Li Cheng, who is already over seventy, he is probably able to persist until now thanks to the fact that he has maintained good health for so many years.
Physically, even so, Li Cheng had already run out of oil.
At that moment, Li Xingchen nodded solemnly and just squeezed Li Cheng's hand.
Although Li Cheng is not his biological father, he has been raised by Li Cheng for so many years. There is no need to express his gratitude. Although Li Xingchen is no longer the same Li Xingchen, he can still learn from this body.
This heartfelt emotion is felt in the remaining consciousness and memory.
For Li Xingchen, there is no difference between Li Cheng and his biological father.
"Xing Chen, I still remember you when you were a baby. I didn't expect you to grow so big in a blink of an eye. With a son like you, I can be proud for the rest of my life..." Li Cheng's voice was very calm, but
Li Xingchen felt tears welling up in his eyes without realizing it.
A man doesn't shed tears lightly, but it's just not the time to feel sad.
This time Li Cheng did not scold him, but reluctantly stretched out his hand and pointed at the head of his bed: "Back then...ahem...the sachet I found on you when I first picked you up was in this box.
Inside. I forgive my father for not telling you for so many years. He also has selfish motives. He doesn’t want the village and doesn’t want you to be involved in more disputes... Who would have thought...
····Who would have thought...ahem!”
Li Cheng coughed violently, and Li Chengchen was so frightened that he couldn't think about the origin of the box and sachet for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward and patted Li Cheng's back gently.
