Chapter 37 Arriving in the County

Waschener.

Ye Tong took a silver crystal to absorb the refining and restore the exhausted vitality in his body. He regretted that he didn't refine a few hematopoietic pills before coming, because two and a half bowls of blood made him very weak now, even his face was bruised. There is no blood.

"Swallow..."

On the bed next to the wall, the middle-aged woman is still awake, but she has called her daughter's name no less than twenty times, and the pain between her brows has not diminished by half.

Yao Nu leaned on the bed and was drowsy. Occasionally, when he opened his cloudy eyes and glanced at the cold little girl's corpse, he would ask himself in his heart whether it was right or wrong to save the middle-aged woman.

Life is better than death.

Yao Nu has experienced this kind of feeling physically, but has never been destroyed mentally.

"hold head high……"

The resonant cry of the dragon, lion and eagle broke the dull atmosphere of the camp. As a dragon, lion and eagle descended from the sky, the doors of each cottage were pushed open. get out.

"What's going on?" A strong and strong man jumped off the dragon, lion and eagle first, looked at the blood on the wet ground, and a dozen people with scars, and strode towards Meng Jia.

"I don't know what's going on!" Mengjia said with a wry smile: "I have encountered the impact of small beasts twice in a row, especially the second time. If it wasn't for a little brother who killed a large number of black lions with poisonous blood , I am afraid that the camp here no longer exists."

"What? Two beast tides happened?!"

Hearing Meng Jia's words, the strong and strong man showed a look of shock on his face. He knew that the black lion is a kind of fierce beast that lives in groups, and the weakest ones are all second-level fierce beasts. When they often appear, there are dozens or hundreds of them , possibly even hundreds of them all together.

This camp... suffered from a wave of small beasts? And there are still small beast hordes with large-scale black lions?

Although the strong and strong man did not see the battle here with his own eyes, imagining it made him shudder, and he said with a happy face: "It's really lucky that you survived."

Meng Jia shook his head and sighed: "Yes! I was very lucky, I almost died."

Thinking of the critical juncture, his idea of ​​"a dead horse as a living horse doctor", and thinking of the correct choice he made by accident when he was helpless, Meng Jia was really grateful.

After negotiation, Ye Tong, Jin Qiusheng and others who participated in the battle can leave first in the dragon, lion and eagle. The group of people who just arrived, except for a few people, wait for the dragon, lion and eagle behind. However, Ye Tong and others If you want to leave, you still have to wait until tomorrow morning.

"Mongjia Battalion Officer."

The surviving guard of Baishun Trading Company came to Mengjia to report: "The income from the second small beast tide has been counted. According to the old rules, half of it is used as a pension for the brothers who died in battle, and the remaining half is divided into Sixteen copies, one for each member who participated in the battle."

Meng Jia said: "According to the market price, all payments will be made in blue silver."

"yes!"

Waschener.

Ye Tong was woken up by the guards of Baishun Trading Company, and looked at the stack of bank notes handed over by the other party. He understood the situation and accepted it directly. Although he and Yao Nu had contributed a lot, they still got an average price of 16 copies. A total of 325,400 taels of blue and silver notes.

Ye Tong didn't expect that after a fight, she would get such a big harvest, and she didn't expect that the people of Baishun Caravan were so proud and fair. Originally, Ye Tong thought they would just compensate herself a little.

"Ye Tong, this is the bank note that their mother and daughter should get, totaling 284,000 taels. I hope you will give it to her after she wakes up." The guard looked at the unconscious middle-aged woman with complicated eyes. , This number moved him very much, but he didn't dare to hide anything.

"Okay!" Ye Tong signaled the drug slave to accept it.

As the guard left, Ye Tong stuffed the banknote into his bosom, and said, "Baishun Trading Company, not bad."

"Well, with this reputation, no wonder it can develop."

Yaonu nodded and said: "The reputation of Baishun Trading Company has always been good, which is one of the reasons why their firm can continue to grow. Today, Baishun Trading Company has become the top three trading firms in the Skynet Empire, with strong financial resources. cloud."

While the two were talking, suddenly, the unconscious middle-aged woman moved her fingers a few times, and then her eyes slowly opened.

Ye Tong said calmly, "Are you awake?"

The middle-aged woman slowly sat up, her face was bloodless, her tears were like broken beads, dripping big and big, she got out of bed and came to the other side, knelt on the edge of the bed, trembling hands lightly Holding her daughter's cold cheeks.

There is a kind of injury called heart-piercing.

There is a kind of pain called life is worse than death.

Scenes of past events kept reappearing in her mind, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and the feeling of fainting struck again.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Ye Tong helped her shoulder, and said bitterly: "Death cannot be brought back to life, so mourn and change."

The middle-aged woman raised her arm, wiped off the blood on her lips, and turned her head slowly after the fainting feeling disappeared. She remembered this young man, a bowl of hot tea, two pieces of salty cakes, and at the critical moment of life and death, he still talked with him. The old slave of his family tried his best to protect his daughter when he was fighting fierce beasts.

"You are a good boy."

The voice of the middle-aged woman was a little hoarse. After struggling to stand up, she stopped Ye Tong from reaching out again. She just knelt down on her knees and kowtowed three times. The middle-aged woman looked up at Ye Tong and said, "We met by chance. , but the kindness of guardianship is unforgettable, I beg you for one last thing, I hope you can agree."

Ye Tong asked calmly: "Do you want to say that after I do it, I will be rewarded with a lot of money?"

"yes!"

The middle-aged woman nodded heavily.

Ye Tong shook his head and said: "I won't bring two corpses with me for a few days, let alone appear outside the gate of the county city with two corpses. I understand that you feel ashamed to see your husband again. You want to follow along with me." Your daughter left and died, but, let me tell you, your idea is completely wrong."

"Is there anything wrong?"

Middle-aged women's tears flow faster.

Ye Tong said: "If you were the one who died before, what do you wish for the most?"

The middle-aged woman said: "Pray, let my daughter live well."

Ye Tong asked: "Didn't your daughter's last smile want to comfort you? Why doesn't she want you to live a good life? That smile, that comfort, that prayer that was too late to say is her last wish, you Could it be that even her last wish cannot be fulfilled for her?"

"I..." The middle-aged woman was speechless.

Ye Tong said again: "Your daughter is dead, I know you are in pain, but I believe that there are others who suffer as much as you. That person should be your husband. Isn't he more pitiful, don't you think he will follow you too? Or spend the rest of his life in pain?"

The middle-aged woman was silent.

The relationship between the couple is very good. If it hadn't been for the sudden disaster a few years ago, and the husband led the army to fight against the enemy country in the frontier, their mother and daughter would not have appeared here, let alone lead to the tragic death of their daughter.

Ye Tong took out a dark dagger, threw it directly in front of the middle-aged woman, and continued: "Life is a test in purgatory. Life is full of flavors, ups and downs. After you have tasted it all, you will not leave any regrets when you grow old. You deserve to live this life! If you insist on committing suicide, the knife will be right in front of you, and we will not stop you, but I hope that before you commit suicide, you will think about that poor man who has lost his daughter and will lose his wife."

The white teeth of the middle-aged woman bit her purple lips, and the blood flowed down, she seemed to be unknown.

As time passed, she didn't pick up the dark dagger, and fell into silence like a puppet.

After a long time.

Ye Tong took the bank note from the drug slave, grabbed the middle-aged woman's hand, put it in her hand, and said: "There is a saying in my hometown, which is: It is better to die than to live. As long as people are still alive, Even if you lose some, you will get more. The meaning of living is that there is still concern and hope in life. These banknotes are the pension given by Baishun Commercial Bank and the harvest after the war. The child is gone. But you are still young, in the future you will still be full of children and grandchildren, and your mother is kind and your son is filial."

"Really?" The middle-aged woman's eyes were full of pain and confusion. "

In the morning, the sun shines on the earth, dispelling the cold of night.

With the resonant hooves of the dragon, lion and eagle, the transparent light shield enveloped the people on their backs, and flew towards the city of Zifu County. The middle-aged woman was still alive, and she insisted on taking her daughter's body with her, even if she He paid a thousand taels of blue silver for this.

"well!"

Ye Tong sat cross-legged. Before that, he firmly rejected the middle-aged woman's wish to give him all the money.

On the last day of March, the dragon, lion and eagle landed on the edge of the forest ten miles away from the south gate of the county city. This is a small market, separated from the main city of the county city by an open area of ​​four miles.

At the South Gate.

Hundreds of guarding officers and soldiers wearing armor and exuding awe-inspiring aura. In the simple wooden shed, Fu Tianlong sat on a chair, his eyes were like torches, and he scanned the direction of the market. Looking forward to the change of expression, he is the brave and skilled Zhanlong General of Zifu County, and also the number one general under the command of the King of Zifu County.

Five days ago, Fu Tianlong led 20,000 elite soldiers to defeat the border wolf soldiers of the Falling Flame Empire and returned in triumph. The scene at that time was full of firecrackers and gongs and drums. He was a triumphant hero.

However, in the early morning of the second day, he changed into the armor of the city guard and appeared at the south gate of the city. Everyone couldn't figure out why the most powerful general in Zifu County, General Zhanlong, became a gatekeeper?

"Snapped……"

The tea bowl that Fu Tianlong had just picked up fell to the ground and shattered. His burly body suddenly stood up, and his eyes burst into unbelievable light.

In his field of vision, the blood-stained middle-aged woman was his wife, and the middle-aged woman was holding his daughter.

"Jun Lan..." A deep roar came from Fu Tianlong's mouth. Holding the hilt of his sword, he turned into a sharp arrow and rushed towards the city hundreds of meters away at the moment when hundreds of elite guards drew their swords. wife and daughter.

"well!"

A faint sigh came from Yaonu's mouth.

Ye Tong stood tens of meters behind the middle-aged woman, quietly watching the scene of the reunion of the husband and wife in front of him, feeling a little sore in his heart, he stepped forward again, and in the roar of Fu Tianlong, he brushed shoulders with several people However, with the flow of people entering the south gate of the county city.

Faintly.

The cries of iron-blooded men and women's cries are still lingering in my ears.

Ye Tong took a deep breath, drove out the distracting thoughts in his heart, looked at the magnificent city, and muttered to himself: "Is this the county town?"
