After the immortal disappeared

Liu Sanjiu told him that he was originally a citizen of Tusu City. Eleven years ago, he fled to Wei City on the eve of the capture of Tusu City. He finally settled down, but within a few years, he would embark on the road of exile again.

The old man in the family is already seventy-two years old, which is a rare longevity in today's Panlong Wasteland. Hearing that the Ba Ling Army was coming again, Old Man Liu was determined not to leave this time. He clung to the pillar and wanted to die with the city. Liu Sanjiu and his wife dragged him hard, but could do nothing. In the end, they had to bid farewell to their father in tears and retreat eastward with their children.

When Liu Sanjiu said this, his eyes were red, and he didn't know whether it was tears or rain on his face. He knew very well that Old Man Liu knew that he could not walk fast and did not want to drag his son's family into escaping.

Such tragedies of life and death are common in today's refugee teams. If you pick any household, they will be filled with bitterness and bitterness.

At this time, Liu Sanjiu's son was also tired from walking and shouted for his father to hold him.

He was only ten years old, and he was already exhausted after walking on the plains for several hours in the rain.

Liu Sanjiu was already holding her daughter in her arms, and the little donkey was bent down by the luggage. The child might not crush the donkey if he went up.

He Lingchuan couldn't bear it: "I'll help you..." He was about to help someone carry the child, but then he thought about it and carried a large bag of luggage on the donkey's back in his hand, "... pick up these, and you put the child on it. .”

Being too enthusiastic is like a human trafficker. It is not uncommon for children to get lost or abducted in this kind of fleeing team.

The luggage he carried only contained bedding and clothing, which was bulky, took up space, and was worthless, so Liu Sanjiu immediately cast an even more grateful look at him.

If you can still meet good people when you are fleeing, it is really a good thing to burn incense and accumulate great virtues.

From time to time, people would come from behind and rush forward past Liu Sanjiu and his family. The danger of deserting is actually similar to hiding from a tiger. As long as you can outrun your companions, your safety factor will be greatly increased.

There was nothing a commoner like Liu Sanjiu could do about this, and his current speed had already reached its limit.

From time to time, small groups of rangers come from the east and go against the group.

The figure of Gale Army made everyone feel a little comfort.

Liu Sanjiu pointed at them and said to his youngest daughter: "These uncles will protect us. As long as we go towards them, we will be safe!"

At this time, there was an exclamation from the front.

He Lingchuan looked up and saw an old man in his sixties sitting on the ground in front of him. He swayed twice and fell down. The wife sat on the back of a mule and hurriedly got off the ground. The son tried to help his father up, but the latter had already passed out.

The son was in his early forties, with a sallow face and thin muscles, and he was walking unsteadily. He wanted to carry his father on his back, but he fell to the ground after taking only two steps, splashing mud and water all over him.

The other refugees watched silently, then walked past them without looking back.

Everyone in this team has too much time to take care of themselves, so how can they squeeze out the extra energy to do good?

Liu Sanjiu and his wife looked at each other, lowered their heads, and walked over with the donkey.

At this moment, three cavalrymen approached. The leader reined in his horse and stopped, asking, "What's going on?"

"Master Jun, my dad can't walk anymore!" The man said with tears in his eyes, "Okay, please help me!"

He Lingchuan was startled as soon as he raised his head.

Thin eyebrows, long eyes, and a cold face. Hey, isn't this an old acquaintance?

Wasn't it the commander of the Gale Army who attacked the Blackwater City Army in Panlong Desert City, and who was ordered by the Black Dragon to escort them out of the desert?

It's just that he was a heroic spirit at that time, so he had no courage, could not speak, and did not communicate with He Lingchuan at all; now he was a living person, and this was the first time He Lingchuan heard him speak.

But He Lingchuan quickly lowered his head, because the commander's sharp eyes immediately swept over him.

Although there was no communication, He Lingchuan was deeply impressed by this guy's habit of stabbing people with a spear without saying a word.

Fortunately, at this time, the refugees also gathered around, wanting to see how the Gale Army would solve the problem.

The commander withdrew his gaze and remained silent for a while before saying, "Throw away the goods and help your father get on the mule."

In addition to carrying an old woman, the donkey is also the property of these three people. The man's face paled when he heard this: "Master, my mule is lame and can't carry two people. Can you help a horse out?"

The commander said: "Then throw away the belongings and help father get on the mule, and you will carry mother."

The old woman stepped forward, grabbed the horse's reins and cried loudly: "My old man can't walk anymore, please have mercy! You don't lack a horse either, he is a life!"

Her white hair was sparse and wet from the rain, with strands sticking to her face. She looked so pitiful.

The commander's eyes swept across her face, then looked at the unconscious old man on the ground and the man with pleading eyes, and his Adam's apple moved.

Everyone else could see that he hesitated.

The man immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him several times: "Please have mercy and lend me a horse!" He repeated this plea four or five times.

The commander took a long breath.

Just when He Lingchuan thought he would compromise, the commander pointed to the hill not far away: "There is a cave on the mountain where you can take shelter from the rain. I can send someone to help your father rest there and pick him up again tomorrow."

The man was stunned: "My father went to the mountain? That is a dead end. What if the enemy comes after him?"

The old woman cried louder, and he couldn't help shouting: "Mom, stop crying!"

"You can only take a gamble and make a decision now!" the commander said coldly, "The enemy will retreat tomorrow or tomorrow, and I will definitely send someone to patrol."

He waited there for a few seconds, but when he saw that the man was still undecided, he shook off the reins and prepared to leave.

"Wait, wait a minute!" The man gritted his teeth, "I have decided, I will send my father up the mountain. You guys can help me!"

The commander nodded slightly to his men, who immediately helped the old man onto the saddle. The woman suddenly said: "Take me away, I will go with the old man!"

Her attitude was extremely firm, and the man murmured twice without retorting.

So the cavalry took the old couple and rode towards the hill seventy paces away.

The leader moved on without lingering.

The man stood there and watched for a while, with a look of loneliness on his face, and then led the mule forward.

Now, he is the only one left in the family of three.

Liu Sanjiu's wife whispered: "This man is so pitiful, and the leader is so hard-hearted. I thought the Gale Army was very kind to us civilians."

Liu Sanjiu said dullly: "It's not going to get better, who doesn't want help here?"

If the commander helps the old couple, other civilians will definitely rush to him for help:

Why should we help them but not us? Who is not a refugee anymore?

The mission of these sergeants is not to rescue but to cover and defend against the enemy. If they are dragged here, they will not be able to go to the rear to respond, but will cause trouble to their companions who are behind the formation!

The wife was displeased: "You are still talking to them!"

"Who can we talk to now?" Liu Sanjiu smiled bitterly, "At least the Gale Army is here to help us, and we are not from Panlong City."
