I didn't expect you to be such a white moonlight

"..." Ji Huaimo and Song Qifei looked at each other, and they ran towards the source of the voice together.

It was a boy about twelve or thirteen years old, curled up in a corner, trembling.On the coal-like face, a pair of deer-like eyes are very eye-catching. At this moment, it is staring at the group of armored people in front of it with fear.There were still words in his mouth, "the devil...the devil..."

"Tell me about the situation."

"Yes. It is such a marshal. Two of his subordinates were ordered to search this room. Suddenly they heard a movement behind the haystack in the corner. At first they thought it was a mouse, so they didn't pay attention to it, but the movement behind it became louder and louder, and even belonged to it. The subordinate heard the heavy breathing that did not belong to the two of us. So, the subordinate stepped forward and overturned the haystack, only to find this kid hiding inside."

Hearing this, Song Qifei knelt down and looked at the young man at the same level, "Hey, kid, whose family are you from?"

"..." But the boy not only didn't answer, but trembled even more, and kept rolling his eyes, as if he was about to faint.

"Hey! What's the matter with you?"

"Qi Fei, don't force him. His appearance is obviously too exciting."

"Then what should we do with him? Put it here? In case another wave of savages comes again..."

"Take it away."

"what?"

"I said take it away. Anyway, we have so many people, this one is not bad."

"Are you sure? Huaimo, if you take this child away today, you may take in more homeless people tomorrow. We are not gods, and we cannot save so many people. You...don't let your heart soften for a moment..."

"Look at his eyes."

"what?"

"Look at his eyes."

Song Qifei finally reacted and looked at the young man who was still shivering in the corner.

The boy's obsidian-like eyes looked at him without blinking, and Song Qifei understood it instantly, because he saw the flame of survival hidden in his cowardice from his eyes.

This is a person who is tough and knows how to show weakness.He is a piece of rough jade, given time, it will surely become a radiant and beautiful jade.

He couldn't help but squatted down and asked him, "Will you go with us?"

"..." The boy still didn't speak, but this time, he nodded slightly.

If Song Qifei and Song Qifei were not staring at him intently, they might have missed his slight movement.

"Let's go, let's go look elsewhere."

"En." Song Qifei ordered along the way, "Take this kid outside to clean up."

"Yes."

The two of them went out together to the yard, and they ran into Qin Chao who came to look for them.

"Huai Mo, it's getting late. Why don't we stay here for one night and then go on our way tomorrow morning?"

"..." Ji Huaimo raised his head and suddenly saw that the night was dark and the moon quietly appeared from behind the clouds, so he nodded, "That's fine."

The three of them sat on the steps like this, watching the soldiers below busy, cleaning up the scene, constantly moving out the corpses, and placing them neatly in the yard.

Those corpses were all dressed in coarse linen, and they looked like simple farmers. If they hadn't suffered such an innocent disaster, they might be warmly steaming rice to entertain them outsiders at this time.Instead of lying motionless on the ground and being manipulated by others like now, with horror and disbelief on his face.

At this moment, Ji Huaimo no longer knew whether the reinforcements brought disaster to them, or could they save them from the fire?

"Don't think too much, it's their fate."

"Yes, Huai Mo, even if we don't come, maybe they will..."

"No one is destined to be like this. Qi Fei, Qin Chao, in the final analysis, we are one step late."

"..."

"Report—Marshal! The statistics are out. There are 178 people in the village, and 177 people died. Among them, 38 were young adults, 84 were women, 20 were young children, and 35 were elderly people."

"In other words, that kid is the only survivor?"

"Yes."

"Marshal! How to deal with it?"

"Is there a cemetery behind here, let's bury them all." Ji Huaimo prayed in his heart, may you be born in a prosperous city in your next life and avoid the suffering of war.

But then I thought, if Sancheng missed and Qili drove straight in, wouldn't the people of Luodu also have to suffer this kind of suffering?

Thinking of this, he became more determined to remove all obstacles for the people of Anguo.

"Ugh..."

"Boy, you're here. Packed up?"

It was the original boy. At this time, he was bare-chested, and his ashen face had been washed clean by well water, revealing a youthful face that had already shown its sharpness.

"I can't tell, this kid looks pretty good."

"what happened to you?"

The young man still ignored people, staring blankly at the rows of hideous corpses on the ground, opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound, he could only "woo woo" a few times from his throat.

Ji Huaimo's face changed, he got up and walked quickly to the boy, stretched out his hand and patted him on the back a few times.

The young man staggered a few steps, rolled his throat a few times, and finally burst into tears.

"Mother!! Grandpa!! Brother!!!" He threw himself on top of the corpses, buried his head in the clothes of one of them, whimpered continuously, his thin body kept shaking, looking extremely pitiful.

"Huai Mo, will there be something wrong with crying if this goes on?"

"What do you know? What I'm most afraid of is that I won't be able to cry. Didn't you see the few times Huai Mo slapped him just now? You're afraid that something will happen to him."

"That's right, it's good to let off steam."

So, the people in the yard stopped all their movements and watched the boy cry quietly.Quite a few people showed a look of unbearable, and even turned their heads and wiped their faces hard.

It is said that "a man does not cry lightly, but he has not yet reached the point of sadness", this group of iron-blooded men, at this moment, it is indeed this young man who thinks of his parents, relatives and friends far away in his hometown. Feeling this kind of pain, they all instantly ignited their fighting spirit.

After an unknown amount of time, the boy gradually stopped crying. He straightened up and wiped away his tears vigorously.Then he stood up and walked in front of Ji Huaimo, knelt down, and kowtowed three times.

Ji Huaimo didn't stop him, just to see what he wanted to do.

After a while, the boy straightened up, looking directly at Ji Huaimo with big eyes, "Thank you. Before I go with you, can I bury my relatives with my own hands?" His voice was very hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time , but it's hard to hide the coolness of the boy.

"Of course. This is your duty. If you don't do it, I will let you do it."

"Thank you, thank you."

"You bring a few people to help him." Ji Huaimo instructed the people next to him.
