Chapter 50: The Catastrophe of Zhushi Town
Changes start five years later.
During these five years, wars and sub-theory in the world have not stopped. As long as there is no strong ruler in this world and no common ruler appears, the melee between warlords and princes will never end and will never end. As a paradise, Zhu Shizhen has been independent for more than twelve years, and will eventually be broken.
One night five years after he came down from the giant tree, Lu Lie was sleeping soundly on his bed. Suddenly, his sharp facial features heard the sound of horse hooves from the distance of Zhu Shizhen from the ground, the sound of swords being unstoppable and the roars of countless hoarse voices. The sound was like a wave, constantly moving towards Zhu Shizhen unstoppable.
Lu Lie suddenly woke up from his dream. He thought he was dreaming, just like a nightmare about a giant tree. For the past five years, he had been entangling him in countless late nights, making him unable to sleep or eat for a moment. But when Lu Lie got off his bed, the rumbling vibration that came through the earth still did not disappear. On the contrary, it became even more intense.
At this moment, Zhushi Town was still calm and every household was asleep. But from Lu Lie's perspective, thousands of troops were already moving towards Zhushi Town.
"Ayun...Ayun! Ayun!" Lu Lie shook the bell beside the bed and woke up the sleeping maid in the lower room.
"Young Master...what's happened?" The two maids in Lu Lie's mansion were still unable to wake up from their sleep. When they heard the ringtone in Lu Lie's room, they forced their sleepy eyes and walked over shakingly.
"What happened!" Lu Lie sternly, "dress me immediately and prepare horses. I'm going to go to Xue's mansion to see Mr. Xue!"
"But at this time, the county magistrate has fallen asleep... Young Master, you know Mr. Xue's temper. If someone dares to quarrel about his sleep, no matter who it is, he will not be able to get a good face..." The two maids were still timid, wanting to persuade the young master to dispel this absurd idea.
Listening to the sound of horse hooves in the distance, Lu Lie felt as if countless war drums were hammering wildly in his heart. There was no time and there was no time to explain to these two girls. He just rushed to the street in loose pajamas.
"If you don't wake up Mr. Xue now, you will not have the chance to wake anyone up again!"
After the two maids reacted, their young master had already passed by them like lightning and disappeared at the door of the mansion. The speed was so fast that it was not as fast as a human could achieve.
"But young master, how can you get out when you dress like this?" The two maids did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and still stretched out their hands in vain to stop Lu Lie from leaving.
Running wildly on the street where no one was, the rumbling horse hooves in Lu Lie's ears became louder and louder, getting closer and closer to Zhushi Town. Could it be that what he had been worried about for a long time finally happened? Lu Lie, who was running wildly on the road, thought nervously, if that day really came, where would he and the entire Zhushi Town go? Sure enough, in this chaotic world, there is no paradise that is truly uncontested.
When he rushed to the Xue Mansion, it was still too late. No matter how fast he ran too fast, even if he did it again, he would never catch up with death and cause and effect. Lu Lie stood at the door of the Xue Mansion, staring blankly at the huge Xue Mansion that had been engulfed by the sea of fire and burned into a piece. There were countless crying sounds of children and women in the mansion, trapped in the sudden fire, and could not escape for a while. He could only watch the fire scene bit by bit, and everything was swallowed until death.
There are also some people who were burned to death by the fire in their sleep, which, for them, they lacked a lot of pain before death.
The entire Zhushi Town was awakened, but no one rushed into the Xue Mansion to save people. Because the rain-like flame arrows shot from the hillside opposite Zhushi Town, igniting the entire Zhushi Town into a fire scene. Under the dark night sky, countless people let out sad and painful wailings, running in the fire scene, saving themselves.
"Who is it, who is it?..."
"Why, we are all civilians... We have never been loyal to anyone, nor have any idea of competing for the world..."
"Why do we have to massacre us... Why do we treat us like this..."
Zhushi Town, which has not been warned for a century, once it encounters a built-in army, it is like a lamb that has lost the sheep pen protection and is bitten by the hungry wolf and has no power to fight back.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Lu Lie's eyes were bloody. He rushed into the fire scene where the Xue Mansion was getting more and more arrogant. He raised a whole pillar hanging down to the ground with one hand, rushed into a room engulfed by the flames with the source of sound, and snatched out the two crying babies.
A woman's lower body was overwhelmed by the rotten wood and could not move. But when she saw that her child was finally broken in and rescued, she nodded to the other party with a smile.
The fire spread and soon engulfed the nameless woman in it.
Lu Lie rushed out of the fire with two babies crying. In the huge Xue Mansion, more people were roaring and wailing, waiting for Lu Lie to save them. But what could Lu Lie do? The fire in the Xue Mansion became increasingly bigger and dark, and the sky had been brightened for a long time. The fire in Zhushi Town was getting bigger and bigger, and it was almost burning to the end of the sky. Countless families were trapped in it, and everyone was wailing, waiting for Lu Lie to rescue them, but how many could Lu Lie save? What could he do?
The fire was rising and the ship was rising, and everything around was wrapped in black smoke. Standing in the middle of the fire, Lu Lie felt that his breathing was starting to have problems. After all, he was also a human being, not a god. In this situation, he could no longer save more people.
He hugged the two babies in his arms and rushed out of the fire.
Standing at the edge of Zhushi Town, Lu Lie raised his head and looked at this town that had a special meaning to him. What he saw was the fire that soared into the sky, countless sad faces, and the refraction of cold bow beds and metal helmets opposite the mountain under the moonlight. Lu Lie turned around and looked at the giant tree for the last time. Facing the tragedy of humanity under his feet, it still penetrated deep into the sky and was unattainable.
Before the cavalry rushed into Zhushi Town to burn, kill and rob, Lu Lie left the town like the wind.
He remembered the appearance of these cavalrymen who broke into Zhushi Town.
That purple "Guo" flag.
