"Brother, please tell me." Ruan Xianbei sat opposite Ruan Yan nervously and seriously, leaning forward slightly, adjusting his mood and preparing to listen to the next story.
"Where to start?" Ruan Yan chuckled, because there was too much to say, "This matter must start with the well-known invasion of the Demon Cult twelve years ago. "
Twelve years ago.
As we all know, a great war broke out in the Jianghu area twelve years ago. The martial arts sects were seriously injured in resisting a massacre suddenly launched by the demon sect. After the war, they rested and recuperated for several years before things improved in recent years.
The cause was that without warning, disciples of various sects were intercepted and killed to varying degrees outside, and even ordinary people were not immune. For a time, there was a loud crusade against Jianghu people, and the court was alarmed.
The heads of various sects jointly held an emergency meeting, only to discover that all sects were damaged, but they had no idea who the other party was, which sect or sect they were. It was as if they had appeared out of thin air, but they were all dressed in the same uniform. black clothes.
So Zhengdao named these people the Demon Cult and began to suppress and counterattack.
This chaotic dispute lasted for nearly half a month from beginning to end. Sects of all sizes in the world suffered heavy casualties. Following the clues, they also found the base of the Demon Sect, where a battle lasted three times. For three days and three nights, the Demon Cult set fire to the mountain and tried to bury everyone there.
With the sky full of fire, it was particularly difficult for them to cope with the opponent's suicidal style of play. Many outstanding disciples died in this battle.
And when they discovered that there was a dungeon in this place, where hundreds of ordinary people were imprisoned, they knew why the Demon Cult set fire to it and wanted to destroy the evidence.
Because the imprisoning of people is really outrageous and inhumane.
These people seem to come from all over the world. Maybe they just go out to buy groceries and eat as usual, or go to visit relatives, enjoy flowers, or meet friends. It is an ordinary day that cannot be more ordinary. They live an ordinary and warm life, but because of the selfish desires of some people, they suffer Due to an unexpected disaster, he was imprisoned here and lived a life worse than death.
When they rescued them, most people didn't react at all. Their eyes lost their light and they lost sensitivity to everything around them. They were only particularly frightened by the sound of ropes and chains, and would scream and shrink when they heard it. stand up.
How can the righteous disciples bear such an impactful scene? I just feel that the Demon Cult is crazy! We must eliminate harm for the people!
They freed everyone from the dungeon, and there was another huge explosion. t.
Although the people of the Demon Sect were defeated and left in the end, and Zhengdao won the battle, the Zhengdao martial arts world was also severely damaged.
"This is the invasion of the Demon Cult twelve years ago." Ruan Yan said.
Ruan Xianbei was full of doubts, "Why invade? What is their purpose? This story sounds like there are many problems? This statement cannot withstand scrutiny, right?"
"But this is the version that was circulated in the end." Ruan Yan smiled without comment. @·No mistake first~~
"What's the real truth?"
"This version of the story is partly true and partly false, but it is the most accepted by the public." Ruan Yan motioned for her to continue listening: "At that time, Shen Zhuoran, the eldest disciple of Cangshan, discovered a brother and sister among the imprisoned people. The brother and sister turned out to be the children of the former owner of Lingxiao Villa. Although Shen Zhuoran was not very familiar with the former owner of Lingxiao Villa, he also knew that this man had a good reputation. After his death, the whereabouts of his children were unknown. Unexpectedly, He would be imprisoned here, so he felt strange in his heart, but at that time no one except him discovered the identity of the brother and sister."
Ruan Xianbei: "..."
She thought of the man holding his brother on his back, and the warmth of his back made her feel very at ease.
"But Uncle Shen is dead." She lowered her eyes and said.
"Later there was another explosion, and Shen Zhuoran died trying to protect them, and he only had time to tell his wife, Lin Shu, who was also his junior sister. Lin Shu was also seriously injured at the time, but she knew the matter was serious, so she endured the grief and hung up With her last breath, she hid the brother and sister in the team and returned to Cangshan. At that time, many children without fathers and mothers were rescued and sent back by various sects. This behavior did not attract the attention of others. Lin Shu told her this secret after returning. Taoist Master Yuan Zhen, Master Shu, no.
A few days later, Lin Shu was seriously injured and died. "
Ruan Yan had tried to speak as lightly as possible and omitted many details, but Ruan Xianbei knew how tragic the scene was. Many people died, not just numbers, but individual lives.
"The former owner of the village died at the age of thirty. According to external reports, he died of a sudden illness caused by the recurrence of old injuries after being assassinated by the Demon Cult. @·Correct first~~ However, there are many doubts about this matter, and there are still many friends who still know him secretly Tracking. Taoist Priest Yuan Zhen almost considered recruiting the people he seemed to trust most. After those people found the brother and sister, they became more convinced of the idea, and then the brother and sister were hidden by these uncles. "
Ruan Yan raised the corners of his lips and said, "Uncles can only hide in an unimaginable place for safety. Only by hiding in a shell that does not suit them can they grow up safely."
Also, how can people who lost their parents due to the invasion of the Demon Cult want to be called the Demon Cult by the world? Normal people would think so.
Hearing this, Ruan Xianbei also understood. She and Ruan Yan were the unlucky siblings. Their father was the former owner of Lingxiao Villa, and they were supposed to be the eldest son and eldest daughter of Lingxiao Villa. In order to avoid the powerful enemy, he could only hide in the shell of the demon sect and keep a low profile until now. Mu Huaxiao has been unable to find any trace of them for so many years.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xianbei got goosebumps unconsciously. It was hard for her to imagine herself becoming like Mu Ruojiao.
"Ruan Ruan, actually, like you, I lost some memories after witnessing that battle." Ruan Yan said apologetically: "The uncles have been investigating and never gave up, but the other party did it too cleanly. Everything is blamed on the Demon Cult, and Mu Huaxiao sits so high and upright, and I... have no way to confirm my guess. After all, in everyone's minds, Mu Huaxiao is An honorable man.”
Ruan Yan couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. A gentleman is sarcastic enough. The uncles were kind to them, and he couldn't say it too harshly, so after he remembered it in the past two years, he could only develop his own strength to investigate slowly.
Ruan Xianbei's memory of these uncles is not very deep. Except for seeing each other during the church's general meetings during festivals and festivals, they usually have no contact with them. In their hearts, Ruan Xianbei is an innocent little girl. They look rough, but to them Ruan Xianbei is as good to her as her biological daughter.
But why didn't they believe what Ruan Yan said?
So she asked nervously: "Why don't they believe you? Is there a mole among them?"
"Probably not. If there was, we would have been discovered long ago." Ruan Yan reached out and touched her head, "Don't blame them, the uncles just can't accept this fact."
"I have been thinking about how our father and mother had a harmonious relationship throughout their lives. Why did the only thing left to us in the end was the coffin containing the father's body and the mother's coffin only had a few pieces of clothing. Where did the mother's body go? Where did the father go? What was the cause of death? These things have troubled me for too long. It was only a few years ago that I recovered my memory and reluctantly persuaded several uncles to start with Mu Huaxiao. It was only recently that I found out about these issues. "
"The entire Demon Cult invasion is a complete lie."
The warm spring breeze blew through the trees, and only a few withered yellow leaves fell lightly from the branches.
Ruan Yan looked calm, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with them.
Angry? When he found out, those indescribable, dark, negative emotions almost overwhelmed him, but can anger avenge his parents? Would anger be enough to accomplish what he wanted to do?
Anger will only make the brain lose its rationality, and the road in front of them has already been determined.
"Mu Huaxiao's own desires caused all of this. The invasion of the Demon Cult is rather due to the failure of his initial experiments, which caused those people to become less human than ghosts."
"It's still like this now." Ruan Xianbei said, those whose bodies are covered with sarcomas, those who have an extra hand and a pair of heads, those who tie themselves up because they don't want to hurt their loved ones, please kill her if you lose your mind. people.
"My parents would never have thought that they would die at the hands of a friend they trusted. Mu Huaxiao planned to poison me so that he could become the owner of Lingxiao Villa, and we were also imprisoned by him."
"What about mother...?"
"My mother committed suicide in love."
Ruan Xianbei suddenly raised his head and committed suicide?
.
"Why? Then why did we survive?"
Ruan Yan said in a lower tone: "Because Mu Huaxiao loved mother, he tried every means to poison father not only to get the position of the owner of the village, but also to marry mother as his wife. But he couldn't do anything about it. I never thought that my mother would rather die for her love than compromise."
In order to preserve her reputation, her mother ruthlessly left her two young children to die in love. I don’t know what Mu Huaxiao’s mentality was for not killing them. She and her brother were imprisoned by Mu Huaxiao from then on.
Ruan Xianbei was silent. The gentle woman who appeared for the only time in her dream must have been very sad for her mother. What kind of mood did she have when she died.
She touched her face and it turned out to be moist.
I just feel sour in my heart, and I don’t know whose tears it is.
"Then what?" She found that her voice was trembling, and her nails had already dug into her palms.
She thought she was playing a customs clearance game, that she could not be swayed by her emotions, look at the matter with a bystander's mentality, and find an exit calmly.
But the human heart is made of flesh. Everything she experienced in this game was truly felt. She had her memories and her emotions, and she had unknowingly merged with Ruan Xianbei. , I have been inseparable from this identity since the day I woke up here for the first time.
Ruan Xianbei was supposed to have a happy and beautiful life, but it all turned into a moon in the mirror.
Not only did she forget these things, but she eventually died for this identity. She covered her face and couldn't stop her tears like a faucet that had been turned on. This story sounded so sad.
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it. @·No mistake first release~~
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run. Only in this way can you survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It is impossible for scouts to wear armor because of their limited mobility.
This shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo ho, ho ho!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and search me for me."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday. @
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the credit of the ten of us."
