Chapter 522 Hou Xiaoliu
The first snow in winter spreads lightly on the roof, the walls and the ground, covering the capital like a thin mourning cloth.
At the head of the city, a large flag with the word "Shun" fluttered in the cold wind.
However, the huge capital city is not quiet in the cold wind.
Groups of rebels walked the streets and alleys, and if they found the house, they broke into the house. Soon there were crying and howling, and women screaming for mercy.
After a while, they left quickly with big bags and small bags on their backs.
The blood that hadn't been wiped off dripped down the sharp knife onto the snow on the edge of the door, leaving spots of bright red.
In the huge capital city, howling and screaming can be heard endlessly, and the sparrows who get up early and look for food have nowhere to stay.
However, the howls in the streets and alleys were not as good as Zhao Prison.
After the army entered the city, they continued the tradition of looting and asked for "donations" everywhere. At this moment, more than a thousand dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and gentry were crowded in the prison of Zhao Prison like sardines.
They were deprived of water and food at the least, and severely tortured.
The screams passed through the deep prison road and reached the ground, which was creepy.
In the slightly bloody cold wind, the huge capital shivered and remained silent.
The slightest sound at the door can trigger extreme fear and trembling among the people.
Countless people prayed to God, ancestors, immortals, and prayed that the rebels would never kick their own doors.
At the wharf outside the city, the originally bustling commercial street was deserted and deserted, the doors were closed, and occasionally a couple of people flashed by like thieves, like ghosts.
The unprecedented scene of Xiao Se, even when Brother Aqi raided the capital, it was not like this.
However, at the main street of the wharf at this moment, there was a young man walking on the street with his hands behind his back. He was dressed in sackcloth, with a trace of helplessness on his face.
It was Qin He who had just woken up.
The Dongcheng crematorium did not catch fire, and his injury was still a little bit short, and it took longer than expected.
The reason for waking up was the flood of prayers and thoughts, and I couldn't sleep anymore.
When you close your eyes and open them, the world changes dramatically.
Qin He knew that Da Li was going to end, but he didn't expect it to end so quickly.
In less than four months, the Chuang army was outflanked on both sides, and fought from Shaanxi and Gansu to the capital.
This is the result of the extreme weakness of the Luck Golden Dragon and the outbreak of all crises.
Luck, luck, everything has already been revealed in the dark.
"Don't run~"
At this moment, a shout came from a distance.
Qin He looked up and saw that three rebels armed with sharp knives were chasing a boy.
The young man was dressed in rags and was carrying something in his arms. He ran barefoot on the snow at a very fast speed.
From time to time he looked back at those who came after him,
His face didn't know whether it was frightened or frozen, and there was no trace of blood. He collided with Qin He when he passed by, and staggered and fell to the ground.
At this time, Qin He saw what he was carrying in his arms, two white flour steamed buns.
Because of grasping too hard, the finger prints have sunk deeply, leaving ten gray marks.
The boy didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly got up and grabbed the steamed buns on the ground and continued to run.
The three volunteers quickly chased up, shouting curses such as "hack this little thief" and "kill him".
Qin He hesitated for a moment, took a step across, and got stuck in the middle of the road.
The three volunteers hurriedly stopped, looked Qin He up and down, and cursed: "Which part of you, good dog is not in the way, get out of here!"
"Let's go, the thief wants you to look good."
"We are General Liu's people, get lost!"
In the words, it is obvious that Qin He is also regarded as a rebel.
At this time, only the rebels dared to walk on the streets with their heads held high, and the common people dared not even go out to shit, let alone take to the streets.
"Good dog?"
Qin He smiled slightly and said, "No problem."
After the words fell, he stretched out his hand and gently caressed in front of the three of them.
Then something shocking happened.
The three volunteer generals dropped their sharp knives, squatted on the ground and barked like a dog.
"Wow woof woof~"
"Wow ~ woof ~"
"Wow~Wow~"
The faces of the three volunteers were excited and their eyes were shining. If there were any experts here, they would definitely be shocked.
This is an extremely brilliant illusion technique, and the face of the practitioner is not dull and stiff at all.
Seeing this, Qin He turned and left.
Behind them, the three volunteers moved their noses and quickly crawled towards the corner not far away.
There, there is a bubble of Adu that exudes the smell of "attracting dogs".
...
On the western outskirts of the wharf, at the gate of an abandoned house.
After repeatedly confirming that the pursuers did not follow, Hou Xiaoliu turned around and ran into the courtyard, knocking on the door of a wing that had not yet collapsed.
The door opened, and behind the door stood a disheveled little girl, about the same age as Hou Xiaoliu, her face turned purple from the cold.
"Look what I brought back." Hou Xiaoliu took out the steamed buns from his arms as if offering a treasure, and there was still a little steam on them.
The little girl's eyes lit up immediately when she saw the steamed buns, she snatched a piece from Hou Xiaoliu's hand as if grabbing it, and gobbled it up, obviously hungry.
With three strokes and two strokes, she finished eating a piece of steamed bun.
Hou Xiaoliu handed over the second piece as well, saying: "Eat slowly, there are more."
The little girl took it and opened her mouth to bite, but stopped
, staring at Hou Xiaoliu with bright eyes.
Hou Xiaoliu patted his stomach quickly, and said with a smile, "I've already eaten it, and it's all yours."
"Thank you." The little girl's voice was like a mosquito, she lowered her head and continued to wolf down.
"Don't come out, it's still very chaotic outside, I'll go out again." Hou Xiaoliu licked his chapped lips, explained, and when the girl closed the door, he returned to the street again.
"You have nothing to eat yourself, but you still care about others?"
Just then, a voice came from behind Hou Xiaoliu.
Hou Xiaoliu was so frightened that he stuck his whole body against the wall, because he just turned around to make sure there was no one behind, and the sound came like a ghost.
Taking a closer look, the person who came was dressed in rough and linen clothes, with a straight back.
He recognized this person, it was the expert who held a big iron pot back then and forcibly divided half of his money when they met.
"Master, I...I didn't steal the silver." Hou Xiaoliu said instinctively, he didn't dare to run away, because this man was elusive.
"I don't want your money, I just met, I want to chat with you." Qin He folded his hands on his chest, and asked carefully, "Who is that little girl to you?"
"That's my benefactor's daughter. A few days ago, my family was attacked by rebels. The whole family died, so she escaped." Hou Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment, then said.
"Benefactor?" Qin He was puzzled.
"Once I was about to starve to death, it was her mother who gave me a bowl of rice and saved my life." Hou Xiaoliu said.
"So you're paying a debt of gratitude?"
"Yes."
"You can't protect yourself, can you take care of it?"
"I...I don't know." Hou Xiaoliu shook his head, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Qin He was speechless, and said: "You are a beggar, penniless but still want to help others, are you stupid?"
Hou Xiaoliu didn't speak.
"Then you are either beaten or run away every day. It's hard to live up to now. Do you hate this world?" Qin He looked at the old and new wounds piled up all over Hou Xiaoliu's body, and asked again.
Hou Xiaoliu nodded blankly, paused, then shook his head again.
"How to say?"
Hou Xiaoliu lowered his head and whispered, "I am a thief, and it is only natural for a thief to be beaten."
Qin He looked up at the sky, let out a sigh of relief, waved his hands and said, "Okay, you can go."
Hou Xiaoliu was amnesty, and after confirming that Qin He was not looking for money from him, he walked away in three steps.
Qin He watched him go away, stretched out his finger and was about to point it out, but suddenly stopped.
After hesitating for a long time, he put down his hand and turned to leave.
