Chapter 169 The Optimistic People in Haha Village
Mala Town is particularly lively. People who came from Qiang City to escape the war continued to enter the city until very late at night. As the original residents of Mala Town, they are indeed enthusiastic. As long as People from Qiang City came to avoid the war and came to the store to spend money. Everyone could enjoy the discounts. Many people who didn't have an inn still donated generously.
Looking at the streets and alleys full of people, they are telling the pain caused by the war. While nostalgic for the past, I can only hope that everyone can fight back the Go and the Demon Soldiers and give them back their beautiful lives. home.
In the evening, An Zhi and Ge Wensong walked around Mala Town. Every inn was full of people, and there were even many people sleeping on the floor in the streets and alleys. When it was really cold, they borrowed some grains and grass from residents' homes. Keep warm.
In order to protect the people who came out of Qiang City to escape the war, many sergeants and practitioners also accompanied them to protect them. They patrolled back and forth on the streets, especially the many practitioners, who were always on guard against the magic soldiers sneaking into the rear.
In the end, An Zhi and Ge Wensong could only follow everyone to a dilapidated house in the north of the town. The walls were full of mottled traces of time. The bricks and stones in many places had fallen off, exposing the adobe inside, and the tiles on the roof were also It was incomplete, and in some places you could even see the sky outside.
However, such a broken house is now crowded with people fleeing the war. If you get closer, you can hear the whispers of conversations, the cries of children and the elderly coming from inside. coughing sound.
The light inside the house is dim, with only a few ventilation gaps letting in some light, and you can barely see what's going on inside. There are some worn hay and blankets on the ground, and people are sitting or lying on them. , most of them were in ragged clothes, with haggard faces, and eyes full of exhaustion and fear. They all knew that this was the safest place.
An Zhi felt sad and looked at Tuantuan who was following him and Ge Wensong beside him.
Ge Wensong also furrowed his brows and said with an unbearable look on his face: "This war has really hurt the people."
One of the uncles was immediately overjoyed when he saw two cultivators and a mythical beast. He quickly pushed aside the children to make way for An Zhi and Ge Wensong: "Heroes, heroes, come on, come on, here."
"Thank you, old man." An Shang stepped forward and sat down.
Both An Zhi and Ge Wensong know that at this time, the people can see how happy the two practitioners are, and their inner sense of security is absolutely overwhelming. After all, the magic soldiers may appear at any time.
"Old man, how is the situation in Qiang City? Are there many demon soldiers?"
"Hey, it is safe now, but Qiang City is surrounded by Ge people and demon soldiers on three sides. We Now they can only escape this way. They will definitely capture Qiang City. It seems that the decisive battle is not far away."
"Yes, yes, as long as the Ge people capture Qiang City, they can march straight into Chengdu, defeat the ancient Shu Kingdom, destroy Emei, and then invade the entire Bashu land. By then..., hey."
… …
The night is getting darker, and the people in the broken house have gradually quieted down, some curling up, or leaning on each other, trying to find some stability in this difficult situation and fall asleep.
Tuantuan may have been running around with An Zhi during the day, or maybe it was the depressing atmosphere in the room that made him feel a little tired. He lay down on the hay pile early and breathed evenly.
An Zhi looked at Ge Wensong again. Maybe his mouth was dry because of what Balabala said just now, so he closed his eyes tightly and began to exercise and rest. Only An Zhi leaned on his ball and was not sleepy at all.
She stared at the broken part of the roof. Stars were twinkling in the night sky outside. Her mind kept thinking of the haggard and frightened faces of the people she saw during the day who were fleeing the war.
The night was getting quieter and quieter. Occasionally she could hear the wind coming from outside the house, which made the doors and windows of the dilapidated house creak. She turned her head and looked at the sleeping dumpling next to her, feeling full of envy in her heart. , envious that it can sleep carefree at this moment, without having to worry about these human sufferings.
That night, Shen Anzhi leaned on Tuanzi like this, watching the night pass little by little with worries in his heart, until the sky turned white, and a new day started with unknown and hope. .
Early in the morning, An Zhi shook Ge Wensong awake, because after last night's meditation, she increasingly hoped to find the demon-slaying sword as soon as possible and quickly join the defense of Qiang City. "Tuan Tuan, let's go quickly. Can you walk faster when you are so wobbly?" An Zhi urged.
Ge Wensong laughed: "Hahaha, this guy is as fat as a ball, how can you make him go faster?"
There was an inexplicable murderous look in Tuantuan's eyes...
Follow the route on the map , An Zhi and Ge Wensong led the group away from the official road, went up the mountain and entered the trail.
I don’t know how long they walked. An Zhi and Ge Wensong kept talking to each other in front, and ignored the group behind them. When An Zhi turned his head again, the group had slowly fallen far behind.
"Tuanzi, you, are you really too fat to walk?" An Zhi shouted loudly.
The group in the distance simply stopped and looked at the two people in the distance with unruly eyes that wanted to harm me.
An Zhi was angry, but there was nothing he could do. Ge Wensong comforted him: "Oh, wait, wait."
So, the two sat under the big tree like this Rest and wait for the group on the stone steps.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it. It’s really shocking when you look at it. The two of them are actually in a village. The surrounding houses are scattered in an orderly manner. Most of them are wooden buildings with unique ethnic styles. On the eaves There are exquisite carvings and brightly colored patterns on the walls.
The most eye-catching thing was that a family next to the village was still laughing and laughing. An Zhi followed the sound curiously and saw many people sitting around in some open spaces and under the eaves of the village. Together, they were playing mahjong lively, without any of the sadness that was affected by the war in the outside world.
At a table over here, several adults and aunties were talking and laughing loudly while touching cards. An old man touched a good card, his eyes suddenly lit up, he patted his thigh excitedly, and shouted loudly: "Haha, I'm so lucky, I won't win a lot of money today!" The people around him also started laughing. , jokingly telling him not to get complacent too early.
An Zhi looked at the scene in front of him, full of curiosity. He turned to Ge Wensong and said, "Wensong, they don't seem to be affected by the war, and they can still play mahjong so leisurely."
Ge Wensong was also curious and simply walked over.
An aunt saw a stranger coming to the courtyard, so she stepped forward and asked: "Two young heroes, you are from Qiang City, right? How is the situation? I heard that the city was destroyed in the past few days. "
The other mahjong tables stopped at this point and looked at this place.
An Zhi hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't worry, we will definitely defeat the Goren and the Demon Soldiers."
The smile on Auntie's face suddenly solidified, but she quickly turned around and shouted to everyone: "Haha Haha, oops, the two young heroes said, the demon soldiers have been repulsed, come on, come on. "
The demon soldiers have been repelled! An Zhi looked at Ge Wensong beside him in disbelief, and asked with shock: "Wensong, I, did I just say that?"
"Sister An Zhi, this, this person from the land of Bashu That's awesome, this doesn't affect their mahjong..." Ge Wensong was also confused, just watching several tables of mahjong crackling with laughter and laughter.
