The biggest wealthy family in Qingyang County is surnamed Fang. The mansion at home is even more magnificent than the county magistrate's mansion. There are many servants in the house, and there is a garden with a rockery pond in the yard, giving it an atmosphere of wealth and nobility.

But at this time, the neat and beautiful courtyard in the past is showing a bit of decay, and the people living in the house are not the face-conscious Mr. Fang's family, but a group of villains from outside.

The vegetation in the garden has long been trampled to the point of being unsightly, and there are a group of ragged, yellow-faced and emaciated people sitting crowded together. They all sit listlessly on the palm-sized piece of ground under their buttocks, and they don’t even bother to move. .

The not-too-big yard accommodated hundreds of people abruptly. As far as the eye could see, it was full of black and crowded heads, but with so many people, they barely made a sound, even the sound of breathing was weak. to the extreme.

A short burst of wailing suddenly burst out from a certain corner, and the others didn't even look at it. In this world, human life is too cheap, especially for these people, death follows everywhere.

Many people died in the past, and more people died these days. There was not enough food, and these slaves were hungry. It was cold in the morning and evening in spring, and they had no place to live at night, so they could only huddle each other in this garden to keep warm.

But cold and hunger are still taking away the lives of those who can't persist every day. Death has become commonplace, and people have long lost their due sympathy and compassion, because no one knows whether they will be next.

The slave guard hiding in the pavilion heard the movement, rolled his eyelids, and soon called another person, and the two walked over cursing, preparing to drag the dead man's body out.

Because the seats were too crowded, the two yelled and kicked people without mercy. The people in front turned over in a hurry to escape, and the people next to them didn't dare to make a sound under the pressure.

Like these slaves, these two people were ordinary people who were captured and wanted to go to Luo. They were disgusted with their poor fighting ability and were arranged to do odd jobs to manage the slaves. However, these people seemed to be ordered by the emperor to bully other people. people.

Seeing others dodging in a panic under their feet, the two people showed a hint of color on their faces, and even stretched out their feet deliberately to frighten and tease people. Seeing them rolling into a pile, they laughed.

Having had enough fun, these two people dragged the body of the man who had just died, and dragged them out. The deceased and relatives were still alive, but they could only watch helplessly, not daring to say a word.

Passing a crowd of people, out of the corner of the caretaker's eyes, he saw a tall and thin man hugging an ugly and old man with his skin hanging on his body. He immediately spat in disgust, and shouted at the man, "Hey, this is an old man. Is the old man dead?"

The man's face was so dark that he couldn't see clearly, and he wasn't very tall. His clothes hung empty on his body. He still hugged the wrinkled old man tightly, and said nervously, "No, my lord, he's still alive." The voice Rough and ugly.

There are three children next to these two people, one is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy with a scar that almost runs through the entire face, and the other two are children of the same age who are only seven or eight years old. Snuggle close to an adult.

The caretaker spat and didn't want to add anything, so he ignored the two and continued to drag the corpse out.

As soon as the caretaker left, the rest of the people immediately breathed a sigh of relief, those who dodged crawled back to their original positions, those who were kicked and bumped hurt, and breathed softly.

Probably because of what the caretaker said just now, the people sitting next to the family of five looked ugly and wanted to move away a little, because if this person died and the caretaker came to drag the body, they who were blocking the road, He will be punished for nothing.

A smaller child was probably frightened, and leaned closer to the adult, nervously grabbed the thin man's sleeve, and whispered, "Why isn't Daddy awake yet?"

Just looking at the creases on the unconscious man's face, he would never have imagined that he was the father of such a small child. The caretaker thought just now that he was the father of the thin man and the grandfather of several children.

The thin man's voice seemed to be bad, and his voice was very rough. He lowered his voice to coax the child, "Don't worry, Daddy will wake up soon."

The child blinked and wanted to call "Mother", but looking around, he forcefully held the word in his throat and did not dare to call out.Although he is young, he also knows that mother cannot be called mother, and elder sister cannot be called elder sister, but must be called uncle or elder brother, otherwise he will be arrested and never come back.

The thin man is actually a woman pretending to be a man. She said so, but her arms around the man were trembling slightly. Her husband had been in a coma for several days. In fact, on the way here, her man had a fever, and his whole body Drowsy, walking with the support of her and the eldest daughter.They hid in the crowd and tried not to let the caretakers find out, so that their husbands were not dragged out like other patients and thrown away or directly fed to zombies.

Relying on the eldest daughter's supernatural ability to secretly cool down her husband, she managed to bring down the fever, but she never woke up. The woman knew in her heart that her body was too weak.Her husband used to be very fat, but suddenly he lost weight to his current appearance. His body has long been out of shape. When fighting for rations, he was kicked and beaten to protect her and the child. It was not very good at that time.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still some magic medicine given by her benefactor back then, and she secretly fed it to her husband, she probably wouldn't be able to survive now.

But the medicine has been completely used up, and their family can survive until now, all relying on these medicines and secretly hidden food.

Now they have nothing left, the husband is still in a coma, and the woman looks at the sky with a feeling of desolation in her heart. The whole family is afraid that they will come to a dead end.

The scar-faced girl saw the tears in the corners of her mother's eyes, hesitated for a moment, leaned into her ear and whispered, "How about me?"

The woman withdrew her grief, and before she could finish speaking, she calmly said, "No, you are not allowed to go"

She knew what her daughter wanted to do, as long as she revealed that she was a different person, the treatment of the family would change immediately.But she is a girl, those people don't treat women as human beings at all, even if the daughter is a stranger, in the eyes of the two leaders and other strangers, it may be just a higher-level plaything.

Especially after the revenge incident of the female alien, once the identity of the daughter is revealed, it may not be a good end to meet her.In order to prevent her daughter from falling into the miserable fate of other young girls, the husband cruelly ruined her daughter's face, and now she must not let the child out.

Besides, these villains cannot be called human beings at all, and they must never let their daughter do things for them.

While the two were talking, the eyelids of the man who had been in a coma suddenly trembled, and he woke up slowly. He drooped his eyelids, rolled his eyes and glanced around first. Seeing that his wife and children were there, he took a low breath of relief.

When the woman saw her husband wake up, she was overjoyed. The thin faces of the children also showed smiles. The man showed a weak smile and asked about the current situation in a low voice.

The woman lowered her voice very low, "We have already passed the state capital. In a small county called Qingyang County, the two leaders brought a lot of people today. They are going to attack somewhere, and they will be back soon."

She said with a sigh in her heart, the people in the place where they were shot down will suffer, and there will be many companions around them, but if they can grab a lot of food, maybe they will give them a bite.For a while, she secretly spurned this idea for herself.

The man had been ill for too long, and his mind was dizzy and not sober. When he heard Qingyang County, he always felt that the name was familiar. He asked feebly, "Do you know where to attack?"

Those caretakers never treat them as human beings, and they will not avoid them when chatting. The woman thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be a small village, what kind of river is it called, and I don't know what great people have come out of it. There were more than 200 people in the tie, and the second chief followed suit."

Qinghe Village, Qingyang County

In a blink of an eye, the man, that is, Feng Yanshan who parted ways with Xia Chen and the others, suddenly understood where he was.

It's ridiculous to say that at the beginning, he wanted to take his wife and children out of the clutches of the clutches and join Xia Chen, but he never succeeded. He didn't expect to be dragged here after going around.

Thinking of what his wife said just now, Feng Yanshan felt a little anxious. Although he had blind faith in the little fairy Xia Shao, he had seen with his own eyes how strong the second leader was.

Besides, there are quite a few capable people under the surname Luo, and there are only a few people around Young Master Xia, so it won't be a disadvantage in a fight

Feng Yanshan was in a hurry, but he was helpless. They were trapped here, too hungry to run, and there was no way to report a letter.

Confused, a few burly men walked towards this side while chatting, and two guards bowed their waists and followed behind with obsequious smiles on their faces.

One of them said, "The leader and the others have been away for more than half a day and haven't come back yet. Let's pick two sheep now. It's not suitable."

Another man with a big mole on his face said, "I'm really scared. The place I captured must be quite fat. The leader stayed there to enjoy it. We were unlucky not to be selected to go with us. If we can't drink the soup, we can chew some at home." Dried vegetables, who can say?"

Others nodded in agreement, and several men laughed and walked towards the slaves. Everyone lowered their heads and chests, wishing they could hide themselves.These people's methods are more brutal than the other. If they haven't eaten for so long, and they are tortured again, it's really called never returning.

A few men didn't care about the avoidance of the slaves at all, swearing and kicking to make them look up, and quickly singled out several women, these people were trembling with fright.

In the end, the man with the big mole who was talking was left. He stood on the sidelines and wandered around, walked towards Feng Yanshan's family, and said proudly as he walked, "You guys are all picks that have been played to pieces. It's better to choose smaller ones. Fresh and tender."

The others laughed, and one was moved by what he said, and went to catch the children too.

Feng Yanshan's wife, like an old hen cuddling in her nest, stretched out her thin arms in vain to keep the three children behind her, her eyes were so red that they almost stared out.

Feng Yanshan panted heavily one after another, holding the child weakly with both hands, and the oldest girl had already buckled an ice blade under the pressed palm.

Their rebellious posture seemed to entertain the man with the big mole. Like a cat playing with a mouse, he deliberately slowed down his pace, wanting to scare the poor little mice more.

But the road was so far away, and soon he came in front of Feng Yanshan, he stretched out his hand to grab the youngest child with a grinning grin, just as he stretched out his hand, a sudden scream came from the front yard.
