Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The fierce-looking man grabbed the young lady's thin body with both hands, and if he let go, the young lady's head might fall into the pot. If it was scalded by boiling water, the tragic scene would be unimaginable.

And the guy seemed to be a bit smart, Guo Shao couldn't fool him with a few words, so he said: "I have a suggestion, two horses for the life of the little lady. Let us brothers leave here with two of your men first, leaving two horses; you let the little lady go, and then ride away. If we come back and see the little lady is unharmed, we will let your people go. How about it?"

One of the people trapped by the knife hurriedly said: "Cousin, don't leave your brother behind!"

"Shut up!" The vicious man cursed immediately.

As soon as Guo Shao heard someone calling his cousin, his heart became clearer. Without waiting for the guy to answer, he greeted Luo and Yang and said, "Let's go first."

After finishing speaking, he escorted two refugees who were thieves out, and took away a fat horse.

Several people walked along the road behind the house for a while, Yang Biao said angrily: "Why do you still have these two burdens, cut them off first!"

The two thieves showed fear on their faces, Guo Shao stopped him and said: "Beware of that guy's deceit, these two people are a hole card, regardless of whether it is useful or not, save the necessary time to make a move."

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded from behind.

Guo Shao made a decisive decision: "Third brother, watch these two people leave last, and kill them if they move around! Second brother, you go to the house to check the situation and guard the door." After saying that, he got on his horse, rode the horse, picked up the bow and arrow, and ran back.

Rushing back to the thatched hut, I saw one rider jogging on the road; the other rider was not far away, and a man was lying on his back on the ground as if he had fallen half to death from his horse. The rider in front ran very slowly, because the downhill road was not easy to run, and if he was not careful, he would turn his back on his back.

The guy hadn't run a hundred paces, Guo Shao jumped off the horse, took a bow and set an arrow, and aimed at the guy's back, "Pa!" The guy screamed and fell off the horse.

Guo Shao saw that he was hit by a single blow, so he walked up to the half-dead man, grabbed his arm and dragged him back.

At this time, the old man brought the young lady to the gate of the courtyard, and the young lady walked behind. It seemed that there was nothing serious, so Guo Shao heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for this girl to be boiled at such a young age.

The old man pulled the little girl to kneel in front of Guo Shao: "The grass man and the little girl thank the military master for his great kindness!" After saying that, he pressed the back of the little girl's head and kowtowed.

Guo Shao went up to help them up. Hearing the old man say "little girl", Guo Shao was a little puzzled... This girl may look at most twelve or thirteen years old, is this old man her father? Taking a closer look, he found that the old man didn't seem to be very old, maybe around forty, but it seemed that he looked old because of the hard life.

At this time, the "old man" wiped the face of the little girl next to him with his sleeve. This action immediately attracted Guo Shao's attention, because he suddenly had a very strange feeling, as if the old man was wiping an object. Guo Shao glanced at the little girl, and couldn't help taking a second look, because she had a thin face like a melon seed, her skin was sallow, her lips were dry and peeling, her eyelashes were still wet from tears, her eye circles were red, and her big eyes looked innocent... The main reason was that Guo Shao felt that this little girl looked familiar, so he immediately thought of Yulian, especially the eyes.

At this moment, Luo Mengzi escorted two thieves with their heads down. Yang Biao was furious when he saw it, and he raised his knife and strode up. Yang Biao's appearance was originally fierce, but when he got angry, he was even more frightening. The two trembled in fright: "Don't...don't..."

Guo Shao hurriedly stepped forward, covering the little girl's eyes with his hands. After a while, there were two screams. Yang Biao's face was splattered with blood, which was even more frightening. He turned his head and stared at the remaining thief, who suddenly softened and fell to his knees.

The little girl stretched out her hand to grab Guo Shao's big hand, and Guo Shao held her shoulder and said, "You are too small to look at." After hearing this, her strength in holding Guo Shao's hand weakened, but the hand holding him did not move.

"Ah!" There was another scream, and Yang Biao chopped him down with a single knife.

The old man beside him also turned pale with fright.

Only then did Guo Shao let go of his hand, turned around to lead the horse, and the horse that had been ridden away came back by itself. Luo Mengzi said: "Hey, do you have water in your house? Fill the water bag for us and go."

The old man nodded hurriedly, took the water bag with both hands and ran into the house.

While the three of them were waiting, Guo Shao couldn't help but look at the little girl again, and the little girl also looked up at him, and the two of them, one tall and one short, looked at each other silently. Guo Shao asked, "What's your family name?"

"My surname is Dong." The little girl answered in a low voice.

Guo Shao said "oh", took the dry food bag from the horse and threw it at her. The little girl didn't catch it, picked it up from the ground, opened it and saw that it was a pancake, immediately took one out, turned her back, her thin shoulders trembled slightly, and made a rustling sound, like a rabbit eating.

The old man came out with the water bag in hand, stared at the young lady wide-eyed, and even swallowed hard in front of others.

Seeing this, Guo Shao gave another horse's grain bag to the old man, which contained some rice and was packed in a cloth bag.

Luo Mengzi said: "Brother, we can go now!"

Old man Dong suddenly said: "Master Jun, if you look at our third sister, why don't you buy it!"

Guo Shao touched his body: "Our brothers didn't bring any money."

Old man Dong turned his head to look at the fat and strong horse: "It's okay to exchange horses!"

Guo Shaodao: "This is a military horse. Are you afraid that the horse will be confiscated, and you will be accused of stealing a military horse by the government?"

"this……"

Guo Shao pondered for a moment: "Is there any other people in your family? Your place is so barren, there is constant war and famine, and sooner or later you will starve to death. Or you father and daughter will come with me, and you will feed the horses for me in the future. I will guarantee that you will have enough food every day, and there will be white flour to eat."

Old Han Dong was tempted immediately: "Eat white noodles every day? Master Jun means what he says?"

Guo Shao thought that once he returned to Beijing, he would at least be promoted to a command envoy. He had at least 500 soldiers, and he couldn't afford to support two people? He smiled: "Do you think I make you unable to eat white noodles?"

Old man Dong pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Succeed! There are only two people left in my family, and there are two brothers on the other side of the mountain, but they are separated...Mr. Jun, wait, I will go and talk to my brother's family first... Can you please take these corpses away and send them to the government?"

Guo Shao said: "Then you go quickly." After finishing speaking, he turned around and said: "Third brother, go into the house and look for it? With a shovel or something, let's dig a hole in the back mountain and help them bury it."

The little lady was still standing there eating, but old man Dong gave her a hand and took her away with her. Before the person had gone far, Yang Biao said in front of others: "There are troublemakers in the poor mountains and rivers. This guy looks pitiful and very cunning. I am afraid that the elder brother will just take the younger mother away."

Guo Shao said nothing. Yang Biao snorted again and said, "If we are that kind of people, we can just grab them and leave, what will happen to us? A villain is a villain!"

Luo Mengzi laughed and said, "Brother, don't you want to ask that young lady to be your wife?"

Yang Biao spat and scolded: "Stupid! Big brother will at least be promoted to a commander when he goes back, not to mention that he is well-matched. If he wants to pick a young woman from a common people, those women in Tokyo will be willing to let big brother choose? Why pick this girl from the mountains! Don't you look at how thin you are, so small, a bone wrapped in skin, is it interesting?"

The three of them scolded and chatted, while they went in together to find tools, Guo Shao unexpectedly observed the house with interest. The grass-roofed earth walls are very rough, and the lighting is surprisingly poor. There are two rooms without even a single window. What is even more surprising is that there is a wall made of bamboo strips pasted with mud.

Three strong men carried the dead man to the back mountain, and then began to dig a hole, sweating all over. They just wanted to beg for saliva, and they ended up making so much trouble, but no one complained. The old man came back with a few villagers who were also in rags, and they also helped dig the hole, and it took a long time to bury it.

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

The old man said he was going to pack up his things, Yang Biao was furious immediately: "What are you talking about, I set you on fire!" The old man trembled in fright, Yang Biao's appearance is really scary to ghosts!

Guo Shao said with a smile on his face, "Leave it to the brothers in the back mountain."

A group of five people left the mountain village under the watchful eyes of several villagers. The old man even looked back several times in a row. Guo Shao didn't shy away either, he directly held the little girl's slender waist, and carried her onto the horse's back. She quickly hugged the horse's neck, causing the war horse to snort out of its nose and shake the horse's head. Guo Shaorou said: "Don't be afraid, relax a bit, I'm holding the reins."

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

Guo Shao said with a smile: "General Shangfeng dares, but if I go to lead the horse for Shangfeng, the soldiers will not say that I am a flatterer?"

"Ha ha……"

The little lady lowered her head. Occasionally, when Guo Shao turned his head, he would find her looking at him quietly. Afraid of scaring her, Guo Shao asked as casually as possible: "What's your name?"

"Third sister."

Guo Shao asked again: "Are there older sisters and elder brothers? Where are they?"

The old man Dong rushed to answer: "Her eldest sister... is married, and she married far away. Her second brother went out to flee famine with others the year before last, and he hasn't come back yet. He doesn't know whether he is dead or alive."

Guo Shao turned around and asked, "Is she really married? Wasn't she sold by you?"

The old man Dong stared and said: "What are you talking about, if it wasn't for the famine, I wouldn't sell my children and daughters! At first, about the third sister... I think the military master is a good person, and I think it's better to be able to eat with the military master than to starve to death!"

Guo Shao stopped dwelling on this question and said, "You can call me Lord in the future, do you have a name?"

"My lord, my name is Dong Wajiang."

Guo Shao said casually: "There is no tile on the top of the bricklayer's head, but thatch."
