Chapter 20 Return

The walls of Qingya County after the war were dark and the gates were broken. There were traces of smoke everywhere, and corpses could be seen everywhere. Vultures eating corpses could be seen everywhere on the treetops and the city walls. These fierce birds were no longer afraid of people after eating human corpses. They squatted in the corners of the walls and looked at the victims below with their scarlet eyes. Their eyes were like examining food, and they made "cackles" from time to time, which made people panic.

Chen Luo came back at night.

After his strength broke through to the bone forging level, it became very easy to sneak back to Qingya County again.

Maybe it was because the "bandit suppression" had ended, and the soldiers who sealed the card were no longer as vigilant as at the beginning, and they did not encounter any trouble during the return process.

Under the cover of night, Chen Luo hid in a corner looking for an opportunity to sneak into the city.

Soldiers were patrolling on the newly repaired city walls. Because the war had just ended and there was no final conclusion, Qingya County was still under military control.

"It's almost time to change shifts."

Chen Luo counted silently in his heart.

He had been observing here for so long not to watch the show, but to observe the pattern of soldiers changing shifts.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the soldiers who were changing shifts arrived. While the two were chatting, Chen Luo's figure flashed and quickly sneaked under the city wall. This was the gap where they escaped that day. After Qingya County was captured, there were more damaged places on the city wall. Such a gap was not conspicuous at all in Qingya County at present.

Maybe these soldiers also knew what business they were doing. They looked relaxed throughout the whole process, and their vigilance was just a show, allowing Chen Luo to easily sneak into the city.

As soon as he entered the gap, the stench hit him.

Several charred corpses lay in it with hideous faces. They were the beggars they met when they fled. It's just that they were still alive that day, but now they have all become corpses.

From their charred, tight and stiff arms, it can be seen that they must have suffered great torture before death.

"Goodbye."

Chen Luo said silently in his heart.

He bypassed several charred corpses, and then turned over and sneaked into the city.

The defense of the inner city was even more lax, and few people could be seen on the streets.

Compared with the former Qingya County, the current Qingya County was like a dead place, with withered everywhere. At a glance, there were few lights. Next to some burned houses, there were some homeless people crying.

After the war, the people suffered.

Chen Luo thought he was not a good person, but he couldn't help but get angry when he saw this scene.

Can you still be considered a human being if you massacre unarmed people?

Suppressing his anger, Chen Luo rushed to the entrance of the alley according to his memory.

He planned to go back and take a look first. He left in a hurry that day. After he and his third uncle dealt with the body of Eunuch Wei, the two of them packed up and ran away. Now he went back to take a look, and he could also know if anyone came to the door afterwards. If someone has been there, it means that the matter is not over yet, and he should be more careful in the future. If no one comes to the door, it means that the matter is over, and he can do what he wants with confidence.

For example, he took off the head of the magistrate of Qingya County!

The power of the Bone Forging Realm gave him the confidence. As the saying goes, when you have a sharp weapon, you will naturally want to kill!

Chen Luo wanted to kill people now.

As he walked along, Chen Luo saw corpses at the door of several houses. There were men and women, but more were old people and children. Not to mention the houses, many of which were burned down by the fire. A large part of the black smoke he and his uncle saw in the Tiger Village before was from the burning of civilian houses.

"Why are you crying! You stinky bitch dare to resist, do you want to be a rebel?"

A voice suddenly came.

Looking from a distance, I saw two drunk soldiers pulling a girl in a burned civilian house. The girl looked about twelve or thirteen years old. Under the pulling of the big-headed soldier, her young face was full of panic. Her hands held the door tightly, and tears kept flowing down.

The faces of the civilians around were almost all filled with fear.

No one dared to stand up and speak. Those who dared to stand up and speak at the beginning are now dead.

It became the merit of these soldiers.

That is, the "rebels".

"Why are you wasting time? If it were you, I would just kill this bitch on the street." Another soldier was a little impatient and took two steps forward.

"That's good! Do it on the street."

The two guys who were already drunk showed obscene expressions on their faces at the same time, and one of them even untied his belt. The other took two steps forward to hold down the girl and began to tear her clothes.

Bang! !

A black brick flew over from behind. The soldier who was holding the girl's hands and feet had not reacted yet, and saw a brick hitting from the side.

The brick mixed with internal energy was like a locomotive. It directly knocked off half of this guy's head, his brain burst, and blood splattered everywhere.

The remaining corpse flew backwards on the spot and hit the wall behind.

After kicking his legs twice, he died.

Chen Luo couldn't help himself. He thought that if this beast lived one more second, it would be a blasphemy to the world. After making sure that there were no other enemies on this street, he picked up a brick from the broken wall next to him and hit the guy in the face.

He didn't even use martial arts.

Using martial arts would kill or insult this guy, so bricks would be just right.

"Who!!"

The soldier who untied his belt was startled, and the drunkenness disappeared. He subconsciously grabbed the weapon beside him and turned around. But before he could turn around, the blood-stained brick hit him again. The light dimmed, and then he felt a buzzing in his head, and then he lost consciousness.

The second body rolled out and hit the back wall, splashing a pile of red and white. It couldn't be deader.

With Chen Luo's current strength, killing these two big-headed soldiers is like crushing ants. There is no possibility of failure.

"Close the door and leave the city after dawn. There is a gap in the west of the city. You should know where it is."

Chen Luo glanced at the girl who was already scared silly, left a word, and turned away. In the room next to him, some people who were peeking at the situation all shrank back after noticing his gaze, hiding in the house and trembling.

Chen Luo didn't care about these people, and he couldn't care.

Soon he came to the entrance of the alley.

This is where Uncle San's house is located. In the past, at this time, Old Liu had already opened his stall, but now the place has been burned down. Old Liu's noodle stall cart has been dismantled, and several unattended bodies fell inside the noodle stall shelf, emitting a strong stench.

Walking into the alley, Chen Luo saw a familiar face in a few steps.

A hunchbacked old man was burning paper there, and a person was lying on the straw mat in front.

These two people were the old Liu and his wife who had set up a stall at the entrance of the alley before. The one burning paper was Old Liu. His leg was lame, and he had a simple bandage. The wound had scabbed and turned black.

Lying on the mat was Old Liu's wife, Aunt Wang, who sold breakfast at the entrance of the alley. Every time Chen Luo went to buy soy milk buns, Aunt Wang would give him one, saying that he looked like her son.

"Chunhua, I'm useless, I'm a coward, I can't bear the pain you've endured all your life with me, and I haven't had a good day."

Old Liu didn't notice someone coming from behind, and he was still talking in front of the corpse.

The old man's energy seemed to be drained away, and he looked much older all of a sudden.

If he didn't have a woman to take care of, he would probably have gone with his wife.
