Chapter 587 Wuer Village (Part 2)
Under the tallest camphor tree in Wuerzhai stands an 80% new bamboo building, which is the home of Chilipu and Fatuna.
Since they got married three years ago , the two have spent more than a thousand happy days in this bamboo house.
However, recently, a discordant rift has appeared between the two.
As for the reason...
"She's just a fair-skinned girl, how could she have seduced his soul?!"
Fatuna held a horn comb in her hand and tried several times to smash the bronze mirror opposite her, but in the end she couldn't bear to do it.
Just over half a month ago, this bronze mirror that Chilip had snatched from the foot of the mountain was Fatuna's favorite thing. She would spend a lot of time almost every day dressing up in front of the bronze mirror.
However, when Fatuna sees this bronze mirror again today, she can't help but think of the Han woman that her husband always thinks of in his dreams.
Even the image reflected in the bronze mirror seemed to mock her dark skin...
Don't get me wrong, Fatuna is not an ugly girl.
In fact, her skin is a healthy wheat color, her slightly tough facial features, and her slender limbs, which authentically present the wildness and vitality of a mountain girl.
Pah~
Fatuna slammed the horn comb on the table and wondered with gritted teeth what she would do to Chilip if he refused to go home at night.
However, at this moment, bursts of melodious and exciting bell sounds suddenly came from near the village gate.
"Han...calls...Han..."
At the same time, there were intermittent shouts.
It's Chilip calling!
Fatuna stood up suddenly, rushed to the window in a few steps, and looked towards the village gate.
However, it was several miles away, and there were a few crooked bamboo buildings blocking the way, so nothing useful could be seen at all.
Fatuna was just hesitating whether to go to the village gate to see what was going on, when she heard someone shouting from below: "Fatuna, keep an eye on Chaha at home and don't let him go around the village gate and cause trouble!"
Fatuna looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was her father and several men from nearby households who were preparing to go to the village gate to prepare for battle. She subconsciously nodded in response, but then she felt something was wrong and leaned out and shouted, "Dad, Chaha has gone to find Qilipu!"
"This damn fool!"
As expected, a burst of curses was heard from downstairs, and then my father and his men rushed towards the village gate in a hurry.
Seeing this, Fatuna felt a lot more relaxed - her father was one of the most experienced warriors in the village, and with him looking after them, Chilipu and Chaha should be safe.
After all, in the past few hundred years, no foreign enemy has ever been able to break through Wuer Village. Even if someone came to attack, at most only a dozen people would be injured.
Of course, even though she was mostly relieved, Fatuna still prayed silently by the bed according to the way passed down by her ancestors, hoping that the ancestors would bless her relatives to be safe and sound.
Dengdengdeng…
I don't know how long it had been, but suddenly there was a burst of hurried footsteps on the stairs.
"Chilip?"
Fatuna asked tentatively, and then someone below responded excitedly, "Fatuna!"
It’s Chaha!
Maybe he was driven back by his father?
Fatuna hurriedly stood up to greet him, and at the same time asked anxiously: "How is Chilip? Has he..."
Halfway through her words, she discovered that there was someone following Chaha, and it was Chilipu, the person she was worried about.
But shouldn't he be guarding the arrow tower right now?
"you……"
“Wow~!”
Just as Fatuna was about to ask a question, Chaha suddenly rushed into her arms and burst into tears, "I... I don't want to rob Han people anymore, I... I don't want to rob Han people anymore!"
What does this mean?
Didn’t this little brat always complain before that Chilipu and his father refused to take him down the mountain to kill Han dogs?
"It's over, it's all over!"
Just as I was wondering, I saw Chilip, sweating profusely, slumped on the ground, his legs trembling in an "eight" shape, and his pants were wet.
"What's all over?!"
When Fatuna heard this, she had a bad feeling in her heart and asked hurriedly, "Where's Dad? Why didn't he come back with you?!"
"Dad... Dad was killed by that Han man..."
Chilip clutched his collar tightly, as if only in this way could he stop his heart from beating out of his chest.
When he mentioned the word "Han people", his bloodshot eyes froze for a moment, and then he suddenly yelled hysterically: "No! That's not a human, it's a monster! It's a devil among the Han people!"
Monster? Demon?
Could it be that the Han people living at the foot of the mountain found a wizard who could curse to take revenge?
Fatuna was about to ask again, but she saw her husband raise his hands tremblingly, as if he was holding something, and waved them suddenly in front of him.
"Dad tried desperately... tried desperately to block it with his sword, but it was useless, absolutely useless , the devil used only one strike, and Dad was cut in two!"
"Dad wasn't... not completely dead at the time. I watched him... watched him desperately trying to stuff his intestines back into his stomach, but he just couldn't get them back in..."
"That Han Chinese is still killing, still killing! He has killed many people, including the chief and the most powerful warrior in the village!"
"I saw... I saw their eyes, they were rounder and bigger than when they were alive!"
"It's the devil. The Han people sent the devil to take revenge!"
"No one can escape, no one can escape!"
His dancing and shouting proved that Chilip had lost his mind.
But his incoherent words still made Fatuna's hands and feet go cold.
Dad is dead!
The chief is dead too!
The Han army broke into the village, and the leader was a monster as terrifying as a devil!
What will happen to me?
Killed like my father?!
Or are they like the Han Chinese women kept in captivity by the headman, living a life worse than that of animals? !
Thinking about these things, Fatuna began to tremble, trembling with despair.
The only thing she could do was to pray to her ancestors for a miracle.
However……
"Stay away from doors and windows!"
"Stay in groups of three, don't be alone!"
The shouts of the Han people completely shattered Fatuna's expectations. Although she did not understand the meaning of those words, she still felt a deep malice.
Hide!
Must hide quickly!
She used almost all her hands and feet to push her unconscious husband under the bed, and then pulled Chaha and hid in the closet.
The space in the cupboard is not big, and it is already at the limit of being able to hide two people.
In the stuffy and cramped environment, Fatuna pricked up her ears nervously, but could only hear her own and Chaha's heartbeats, as well as heavy breathing.
The Han people didn’t go upstairs?
The surprise of escaping a desperate situation almost made Fatuna cry.
However, she soon discovered that no one came up, which was actually more terrifying than if someone came up!
Because a pungent burnt smell came into her nostrils through the gap of the cupboard.
The Han people are setting fire!
The Han people want to burn themselves and this bamboo house to death!
Fatuna's heart felt like it had fallen into an icy cave, as if all her blood vessels were frozen at that moment.
The next second, she pushed open the cupboard and rushed out pulling Chaha.
However, someone was one step faster than her!
It's Chilip!
He pulled out a dagger from somewhere and rushed downstairs with a roar.
"Chilip!"
Fatuna chased after him and shouted twice, but she could only watch Chilip rush down the stairs like a cheetah.
Seeing that the first floor was filled with thick smoke and flames, Fatuna hesitated for a moment and did not rush downstairs with Chilip. Instead, she turned and rushed to the window, looking downstairs.
“Kill, kill!”
At this time, Qilipu had already roared and rushed out of the main gate, regardless of anything, and pounced on the Han officers and soldiers closest to him.
Sniff
However, before Chilip could get close, a short crossbow arrow embedded deeply into his left temple.
Driven by inertia, Chilipu's body rushed forward half a step, then fell to the ground in the dust with a plop, without any sound.
"Chilip!"
Fatuna screamed loudly, no longer caring about the flames and smoke downstairs, and staggered out of the bamboo building, hugging Chilip's body and crying loudly.
“Yo~!”
An officer in waist-length armor whistled, stared at Fatuna with his peach blossom eyes, and praised: "I didn't expect this barbarian's wife to be quite pretty."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but get closer to Fatuna.
"Yin Cheng."
Shen Lian's cold voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Do what you should do, don't make trouble!"
Yin Cheng shuddered and just turned around to explain something, but unexpectedly, a figure rushed out from the burning bamboo building and rushed straight towards him!
Yin Cheng was startled and hurriedly jumped away a few feet, cautiously protecting himself with the knife.
However, the expected raid did not materialize - the person who rushed out of the fire was just an unarmed teenager.
And judging by the way he was breathing heavily and looking terrified, it was obvious that he rushed out just to save his life.
"Fuck it!"
Seeing that he was actually frightened by a child, Yin Cheng immediately became furious and raised his knife to chop off the child's head.
"Yin Cheng!"
Shen Lian stopped him again, pointing at the well in front of him with an impatient look on his face.
"Pah! You're lucky to have met my centurion!"
Xie Cheng spat, but had to put away his sword, took out a paper package from his backpack, and poured it into the well while chatting: "Sir, I heard that Lord Sun was a fierce general who could fight a hundred people alone, but today I see that I was wrong - this is clearly a one-man army!"
"I guess if it weren't for the arson and poisoning, he alone would be enough for this business!"
"Shut up."
Shen Lian stroked the crossbow on his waist and scolded unhappily: "You haven't taken cat piss yet, why are you still talking so much nonsense."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned 'cat urine'. When he did, Yin Cheng immediately swallowed his saliva and said with salivating eyes: "I heard that this village is rich in good wine. Sir, why don't we get a few jars back to celebrate our victory..."
"you……"
Shen Lian glared and was about to explode, but suddenly he heard someone crying out from the side: "Mercy, mercy! I... I know where the Han... Han women are being held!"
Shen Lian and Yin Cheng looked at each other, and hurriedly followed the sound, only to see three soldiers cornering a middle-aged barbarian.
The barbarian was so frightened that he burst into tears. He cried and shouted in Chinese Mandarin while kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
Shen Lian stepped forward and pulled him up from the ground, and asked sternly: "Is there really a Han woman imprisoned in this village? Tell me quickly, where is she?!"
"General, please spare my life, General, please spare my life!"
The man was only concerned with begging for mercy at first, but after being slapped by Shen Lian, he finally calmed down a bit and pointed to the northeast corner and said, "There are more than twenty Han women in total, locked up in the wine cellar over there!"
Shen Lian pushed the man to Yin Cheng and ordered, "Let's go, take this guy with us and have a look!"
The two men, together with the three soldiers, rushed to the vicinity of the wine cellar, only to see that a fire had already been lit in front of the door and a team of soldiers were continuously piling firewood into the fire.
"Stop it, stop it now!"
Shen Lian rushed forward and used a knife to pick up all the dry firewood and the raging fire and moved them to another place .
Fortunately, the fire had just been lit, otherwise no matter how good his swordsmanship was, it would be useless.
Seeing that the door of the wine cellar was still tightly closed, Shen Lian kicked it open, dodged to the side and waited for a moment. Seeing that no one was hiding behind the door to attack, he shouted inside: "Is there anyone inside? We are the government troops sent by the court to suppress the rebellion!"
This shout caused the room to explode as if a pot of boiling water had exploded, with many women crying and shouting in disorder.
Since they were all Huguang dialects, Shen Lian didn't quite understand what they were saying. He just roughly understood that they were asking for help.
However, apart from the cry for help, no one came out from inside. It was obvious that there were barbarians in the wine cellar besides the Han women.
"Go get a Teng shield!"
As soon as Shen Lian gave an order, someone went to the left side of the village gate and found Teng Dun.
Shen Lian crouched down, holding Teng Dun in front of him, and ordered Yin Cheng to escort the barbarian who could speak Chinese and follow closely behind him. As he walked inside, he ordered the barbarians inside to lay down their arms and surrender in the barbarian language.
"ah!"
After walking a few steps inside, someone suddenly yelled from the side below, and then Teng Dun was hit hard by something.
Shen Lian pulled the weapon outward and slashed the opponent with his backhand.
Sniff
First, the hot blood gushed out, and then the coarse cloth clothes bulged, revealing a stomach full of liver, intestines and lungs!
Shen Lian was not in a hurry. He pushed the corpse away with his Teng Shield and shouted behind him: "Surrender your weapons and I won't kill you!"
The barbarian who could speak the Han language was quite alert. He shouted in the barbarian language, ordering his fellow tribesmen inside to lay down their weapons.
This time it actually worked.
Then there was a clang, and it seemed that some weapon was thrown to the ground.
However, the next second, a shrill scream came from deep within the wine cellar.
At the same time, there were also the sharp and crazy screams of women!
This is?
Shen Lian carefully moved Teng Dun away and looked intently into the depths of the wine cellar.
Then, he saw an extremely crazy scene!
A group of naked women surrounded the two barbarians, scrambling to tear off strips and pieces of bloody flesh with their teeth and swallowed them into their stomachs!
The areas with thick skin and flesh did not show any damage for the time being, but on the barbarian's face, the white bones had been gnawed out!
They roared, screamed, and struggled, but they could not escape the fate of being eaten by the women!
