Chapter 24: The Fierce General Leads the Horse

The fierce-looking man grabbed the little girl's thin body with both hands. As soon as he let go, his head might fall into the pot. If he was scalded by boiling water, the tragic scene would be unimaginable.

And the guy seemed to have a little brain, and Guo Shao could not fool him with a few words, so he said, "I have a suggestion that two horses exchange the life of the little lady. We brothers will leave here with two of your people first, leaving two war horses; you let the little lady go, and then ride the horse. If we come back and see the little lady unscathed, let your people go. How about it?"

One of the people who were held by the knife hurriedly said, "Cousin, don't leave your brother behind!"

"Shut up!" The fierce man immediately cursed.

When Guo Shao heard someone called his cousin, he knew even more. Without waiting for the guy to answer, he greeted Luo Yang and the others and said, "Let's go first."

After saying that, he took two refugees who were thieves out and took away a fat horse.

Several people walked along the road behind the house for a while, and Yang Biao said annoyedly: "I'll keep these two burdens and cut them first!"

The two thieves were afraid, and Guo Shao stopped him and said, "Beware of that guy cheating. These two people are a trump card. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, save the necessary opportunity before taking action."

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded behind.

Guo Shao made a quick decision and said, "Third brother, watch these two people walk in the end, and kill them when they move! Second brother, go to the house to see the situation and guard the door." After saying that, he turned over and rode his horse, raised his bow and arrow and ran back.

When I rushed back to the hut, I saw one riding on the road jogging; the other riding was not far away, and a man lay on his back on the ground as if he had fallen half dead from the horse. The riding in front ran very slowly because the downhill road was not easy to run, and if he accidentally fell back and overturned.

Before the guy could run a hundred steps, Guo Shao jumped straight from the horse, picked up his bow and arrow, aimed at the guy's back, "Bang!" The man screamed and fell off the horse.

Seeing that Guo Shao hit the attack, he walked to the man who had fallen to death, held his arm and dragged it back.

At this time, the old man and his wife had already arrived at the gate of the yard. The little lady followed behind her and it seemed that nothing was wrong. Guo Shao breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, the girl would have been boiled in boiling water at such a young age, which would be a bit unbearable.

The old man pulled the little girl and knelt in front of Guo Shao: "Caomin and the little girl thanked Jun Ye for their great kindness!" After that, he kowtowed on the back of the girl's head.

Guo Shao went up to help them up. When he heard the old man say "little girl", Guo Shao was a little puzzled... This girl may look at most twelve or thirteen years old, and this old man is her father? After a closer look, he found that the old man was not old, maybe he was about forty years old, but it seemed that his life was too hard and he looked very old.

At this time, the "old man" took his sleeve and wiped the face of the girl next to him. This action immediately attracted Guo Shao's attention because he suddenly had a very strange feeling. The old man seemed to be wiping an object. Guo Shao glanced at the little girl and couldn't help but take a second look. Because his face was very thin, his face was shaped like a melon seed, his skin was shiny, his lips were very dry, his eyelashes were wet with tears and had not dried yet, his eyes were red, and his big eyes looked very innocent... The main reason was that Guo Shao felt that the little girl looked familiar, and immediately remembered Yulian, especially his eyes really felt very similar.

At this time, Luo Mengzi came over with two thieves with their heads hanging down. Yang Biao was furious when he saw this, and raised his knife and strode up. Yang Biao's appearance was already fierce, and when he got angry, he became even more scary. The two of them were so scared that they shook: "No...No..."

Guo Shao hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to cover the girl's eyes. After a moment, two screams rang out, and blood was splashed on Yang Biao's face, which was even more terrifying. He turned around and stared at the remaining thief. The thief suddenly became soft and he knelt on the ground.

The little girl reached out to pull Guo Shao's big hand. Guo Shao pressed her shoulder and said, "You are too young to see." After hearing this, she grabbed Guo Shao's hand and weakened her strength, but she held his hand without moving.

"Ah!" Another scream was heard, and Yang Biao slashed with one knife.

The old man next to him was also so scared that his face turned pale.

At this time, Guo Shao let go of his hand, turned around to lead the horse, and the horse riding away also came back by himself. Luo Mengzi said, "Hey, do you have water in your house? Fill us with water bags and leave."

The old man nodded quickly when he picked up the water bag with both hands and ran into the house.

As the three of them were waiting, Guo Shao couldn't help but look at the little girl again. The little girl also looked up at him. The two of them looked at each other silently. Guo Shao asked, "What's your surname?"

"Submitted to Dong." The little girl answered in a low voice.

Guo Shao let out a "oh" sound, took the dry food bag from the horse's back and threw it at her. The little lady didn't catch it, picked it up from the ground, opened it and saw that it was a pancake. She immediately took one out and turned it over. Her thin shoulders were trembling slightly, making a rustling sound, like a rabbit eating.

The old man walked out with a water bag, stared at the little girl with wide eyes, and swallowed hard in front of the person.

Seeing this, Guo Shao gave another grain bag from the horse to the old man, with some rice inside, which was packed in cloth bags.

Luo Mengzi said, "Brother, we can leave now!"

Old Man Dong suddenly said, "June, if you look at our third sister, why don't you buy it!"

Guo Shao touched his body: "None of our brothers brought money."

Old Man Dong turned around and looked at the fat and strong war horse: "It's okay to exchange it with a horse!"

Guo Shao said: "This is a military horse. Are you not afraid of the horse being taken away, and you are framed by the government for stealing military horses?"

"this……"

Guo Shao pondered for a moment: "Do you have other people in your family? Your place is so barren, with soldiers and horses and horses constantly famine, and you will starve to death sooner or later. Otherwise, your father and daughter will follow me and feed my horses in the future. I guarantee that you will have enough food every day and eat white flour."

Old Man Dong was immediately moved: "Eat white noodles every day? Jun Ye keeps his word?"

Guo Shao thought that when he returned to Beijing, he would be promoted to commander at least at least. He had at least 500 soldiers under his command, and he could not afford to support two people. He smiled and said, "Do you think I can't afford to eat white flour?"

Old Man Dong thought for a long time and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! There are only two people left in my family. There are two brothers on the other side of the mountain, but it's just a family... Jun Ye wait, I'll go and talk to my brother's house first... Can you bother Master Lao Jun to take these corpses away and send them to the government?"

Guo Shao said, "Then go quickly." After that, he turned around and said, "Third brother, go into the house to look for it? Let's dig a hole in the back mountain and bury it for them."

The little girl was still standing there eating. Old Man Dong pulled her and took her away with her. Before the person could go far, Yang Biao said in front of the person: "The poor mountains and rivers are out of troubled people. This guy looks pitiful and cunning, and he is afraid that the eldest brother will only take the little girl away."

Guo Shao said nothing. Yang Biao snorted again: "If we were that kind of person, we would just snatch it and leave. What can we do to us? A villain is a villain!"

Luo Mengzi laughed and said, "Does the eldest brother want to ask that little girl to be her wife?"

Yang Biao spitted and scolded: "Damn guy! When the eldest brother goes back, he will be promoted to commander. Not to mention being a good match, if you want to choose a young lady from the common people, those girls in Tokyo are reluctant to let the eldest brother choose? Why choose a girl from this mountain! Don't you see, how thin you are, too small, and you are covered with bones, is it interesting?"

The three of them cursed and talked. While they were looking for tools together, Guo Shao observed the house with unexpected interest. The grass-roofed earthen wall was very rough and the lighting was surprisingly poor. There were two houses inside that didn't even have a window. What was even more surprising was that there was a wall made of bamboo strips pasted with mud.

Three strong men carried the dead man to the back mountain and began to dig a pit, sweating all over. They just wanted to ask for water, but so many things happened, but no one complained. When the old man came back, he also brought a few equally ragged villagers to help dig the pit, and worked hard for a long time to bury it.

The world is in chaos, and no one seems to care too much about the death of a few refugees and traitors.

The old man said he wanted to pack up his things, and Yang Biao was furious: "What a hell, I'll burn you with a fire!" The old man was so scared that his whole body trembled. Yang Biao looked like a ghost who was afraid of it!

Guo Shao smiled and said, "Let me leave it to the brothers in the back mountain."

The group of five people left the mountain village under the eyes of several villagers. They broke into pieces. The old man looked back several times. Guo Shao did not avoid it, and directly held the little girl's slender waist and carried her to the horse's back. She hurriedly hugged the horse's neck, causing the war horse to squirt out of his nose with an unhappy "splash" and shook the horse's head. Guo Shao said softly: "Don't be afraid, relax, I'm pulling the reins."

Yang Biao glanced at Guo Shao curiously, and Luo Mengzi smiled and said, "Let me lead the commander of the imperial guards to lead the horse, so the emperor dares?"

Guo Shao smiled and said, "The General of Shangfeng dares, but if I go to lead the horse to Shangfeng, the soldiers must not say that I am a flatterer?"

"Ha ha……"

The little lady lowered her head. Occasionally, when Guo Shao turned her head, she would find that she was quietly looking at her. Guo Shao was afraid of scaring her, so he tried his best to ask, "What's your name?"

"Three sisters."

Guo Shao asked again: "There are sisters and brothers above? Where are they?"

Old Man Dong rushed to answer: "Her elder sister... got married, she went away from home. Her second brother went out with others to escape from famine two years ago and has not come back yet. I don't know how to live or die."

Guo Shao turned around and asked, "Is he really married? Didn't you sell him?"

Old Man Dong glared and said, "If there was no such thing as this, if I hadn't been famine, I wouldn't have sold my sons and daughters! At first, the matter between the third sister... I thought Jun Ye was good, and thought that following Jun Ye could still have a full meal, which was better than keeping him to starve to death!"

Guo Shao stopped obsessing with this issue and said, "You can call my lord in the future, do you have a name?"

"Lord...My husband, my name is Dong Wajiang."
