"Dad!" Song Fei and Li Qiu exclaimed at the same time.
Among the people standing in front of them, there was an old man, an equally old man, who was the father of the two of them. Of course, there were also several elderly people in the village who followed Xiao Shilian's orders and followed Song Fei and Li
The two soldiers who came up to ask for help were also standing here.
Behind them was a narrow passage. Li Xingchen and others had passed through this passage that only allowed one person to move forward cautiously before reaching the pool. The water flowed down the stone wall and trickled along the passage, sweeping everyone's eyes.
Clothes get wet.
"How unbecoming is it to make such a fuss?" Mr. Song said coldly.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Seinfeld had obviously guessed the reason, but the cruelty of the facts made him unable to believe it.
Mr. Song's voice softened a little: "The road ahead is slippery and difficult to navigate. We must stay here to buy time."
"But later..." Seinfeld said with difficulty.
Mr. Song chuckled: "Do you think we have any other choices now?"
The expressions of both Sein Fei and Li Qiu changed. This was not the first time they heard this sentence, and they understood that it was probably not the last time. For the entire village, there were only sacrifices made by people one after another.
, in order to save the lives of the remaining people as much as possible.
Using blood to exchange for the survival of others is the most effective method in troubled times, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly.
Last night, Zheng Ming and Zheng Liang brothers, Li Cheng and Zheng Qing on the mountain road, as well as the young people in the village who followed them, as well as the Nanchen soldiers and Mr. Zheng who had just relied on the terrain of the cave to resist, in order to
There are still people who can survive, and they pay the price with their lives without hesitation.
Everyone is trying their best, but despite this, there is still no place for them in this troubled world. If they want to survive, they obviously need more sacrifices of flesh and blood.
"What did we do wrong..." Sein Fei slowly knelt down on the ground. The heavy pressure and the separation of life and death made this seven-foot man's eyes wet at this time.
Mr. Song chuckled lightly: "In troubled times, people are like grass and can't help themselves. All we can do is to do our best and have a clear conscience!"
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Song not only did not retreat, but instead took a step forward: "Brother Zheng has left. We three old bones who should have died fifty years ago have lived for fifty more years, which is enough."
Come on! Let’s go, go quickly!”
"This time, the kid won't leave!" Sein Fei stood up slowly, "Brother Youchen is enough to leave a spark of fire for our village. The kid will stay here with his father. One more person can buy a little more time.
! Please step back, dad. Even if the child dies, he will die in front of dad."
Li Qiu also turned around and stood in front of his father without saying a word.
Mr. Song's trembling hand fell on Song Fei's face, and the old man's voice was also choked with sobs: "Chier... Chier..."
Sein Fei raised his head and looked into the darkness. The noise behind him was getting farther and farther away, while the footsteps in front of him were getting closer and closer. Several old people held their arms together and stood behind these young people. Sein Fei, Li Qiu
They looked at each other silently and tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands.
Maybe they have different life experiences and personalities, maybe they once quarreled and blamed each other, but now they stand side by side.
A short life of laughter, yelling, and arm-in-arms, in exchange for fighting side by side in the end.
Above the dark passage, a mottled figure appeared.
"Kill!" One word popped out from between Sein Fei's teeth and echoed throughout the cave!
————————————————————-
A little light appeared in the field of vision, illuminating the endless darkness. The cold water bit into the flesh and bones, and this light was like the sun in the middle of the night, pouring indescribable warmth into Li Xingchen's heart.
The light, the most obvious light, formed an irregular circle on the stone wall. The seemingly calm water rolled towards the light. Li Xingchen felt a strong attraction just because he wanted to get close to the light.
It attracted him to unconsciously rush into the light.
It seems to be as expected.
Li Xinchen breathed a sigh of relief, barely broke free from the constraints of the water, and pushed upwards with all his strength. The water surface suddenly broke open, and the cold wind blew, making Li Xinchen break out of the water and get goosebumps. Although compared to his previous life, his body was covered with goosebumps.
His physical fitness has become a thousand times stronger, but the cold still makes him feel a deep sense of helplessness.
Just as Li Xingchen was struggling to swim towards the shore, a hand grabbed him suddenly.
"Brother Xiao?" Li Xingchen wiped the water droplets from his face and looked at the man who was half submerged in the water. It was Xiao Shilian.
The two of them had discussed before that Xiao Shilian was holding a rope on the shore. As long as Li Xingchen didn't move, he would pull him up directly. Therefore, it stands to reason that Xiao Shilian should not stand in the water, and Li Xingchen also asked himself that the length of the rope was enough.
, and he himself did not feel the pulling force of Xiao Shilian, indicating that it was far from the time when the rope in the hands of the two people was stretched straight, and why did Xiao Shilian appear in the water in a panic at this time?
Before Xiao Shilian could answer, the chaotic voices had actually answered Li Xingchen's question. Li Xingchen subconsciously looked up and saw a light of fire not far away. Although the light was small and erratic, Li Xingchen was very worried.
I know where this fire comes from.
The torches in the hands of the villagers could not support this place at all, indicating that the pursuers had already arrived and rushed through the passage.
No wonder Xiao Shilian went into the water anxiously to find him.
"Brother Chen!" Li Xinchen's familiar voice sounded from the shore, followed by the sound of splashing water. Li Lian'er threw herself into Li Xinchen's arms in a panic, shouting in panic: "Brother Chen, leave quickly, they have already caught up!
"
Li Xingchen frowned: "Li Qiu, where are Song Fei and the others? Where are Mr. Zheng and Mr. Song?!"
"They stood behind to block the pursuers. Now... I'm afraid it's already..." Li Lian'er's voice was filled with tears, the cold pool water, the bloody smell in the air, and a
The death of another familiar relative left this small girl completely confused. At this time, only her brother Li Xingchen could bring her a sense of security.
"How's it going underwater?" Xiao Shilian asked hurriedly, interrupting Li Lian'er's words.
Now is not the time for brother and sister Li Xingchen and Li Lian'er to show their affection. Xiao Shilian knows very well that if he hesitates for a little longer, everyone here will die.
The sound of rushing and noisy water in the cave was mixed with the sound of whistling arrows, and people kept screaming and falling to the ground after being hit by arrows. Obviously, in this darkness, these bandits and the pursuers composed of Northern Zhou soldiers also suffered a lot, especially
It can be said that the constant resistance from Mr. Zheng and the others made it difficult for them to move forward, so now they simply use bows and arrows to clear the way.
"There is a passage under the water." Li Xingchen nodded and said.
