Chapter 56 Are you scared?

Xie Yuan gritted his teeth in hatred and stared straight at the dead body on the ground, his face pale.

"It's okay...it's okay, it's just a cut." Shen Liuzhen's tone trembled, "Ayuan, you are too courageous. What if it gets stuck in? Someone will die!"

As he said this, he was about to tear off the fabric of his inner garment and bandage it for Xie Yuan, but he couldn't tear it apart after a long time, so the soldiers next to him came to help him tear it open.

"It's a joke. If I could fall into the hands of such a person, I would be sorry for the suffering I suffer every day!"

Xie Yuan had a tough talk, but the slightly panicked look in her eyes betrayed her. After all, she was a teenager, so it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid at all.

Suddenly there was an urgent cry outside, the voice was as high as a pig about to be bled:

"I surrender, I surrender!... Here are the sons of Xie Yun, the governor of this county, and the son of General Shen Qingzhi!"

Xie Yuan hurriedly opened the crack in the door and looked outside. He saw a man in blue and gray kneeling near the Beiyi cavalry with his back to them, pointing behind him and shouting loudly. The moment he turned his head, Xie Yuan could see clearly. He is one of Zhou Tuozi's subordinates.

Xie Yuan cursed his mother in his heart, turned around and said bitterly: "If I had known, I should have killed all these people!"

Such harsh words coming from the mouth of one of her children really shocked everyone and silenced them for an instant.

"Brother Xie..." In the stagnant atmosphere, a girl surrounding Guan Yifei called her timidly. In the dim light, Xie Yuan thought he saw Xunya's bright and shy eyes.

It's a pity that it's not, Xunya...

Xie Yuan's eyebrows became sad, disappeared fiercely, and pursed his lips.

More and more people went out to surrender, and then more people took the initiative to testify that Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen were together with a group of street children.

And those people, who used to be very grateful to Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen, now behave in such despicable ways.

Xie Yuan, who was still angry at being betrayed just now, was looking outside with disappointment on his face.

Shen Liuzhen tied the wound around Xie Yuan's waist. He paused for a moment when he heard the movement outside, but soon he was relieved. He carefully tied a knot in the cloth and said:

"We are all ordinary people. When faced with a life or death crisis, how can we not be selfish? It's just human nature."

It seemed like he was speaking to himself.

"Then what should we do?" Guan Yifei covered the children around him and asked nervously.

The three soldiers of the Shen family looked at each other and looked at each other with frowns on their faces.

Shen Liuzhen said at this time: "Yifei, take them out first. The teacher once said that although the Northern Yi Xianbei are barbarians, they have been learning from the Han people to implement benevolent governance. They will not kill prisoners without reason, let alone A group of refugees who have nothing to gain from killing them should not engage in such a loss-making business that wastes arrows."

Guan Yifei was silent for a while. He couldn't tell whether Shen Liuzhen's judgment was correct or not. He only knew that his parents died in the war between the two sides, or after the war where the winner was decided.

In war, human life is like a piece of grass. If you die, you will die. It is like gasping for breath, just like those people who just fell outside.

He didn't want to go out and take the risk. He felt that this small, boxy house was the last layer of protection. It was better than nothing.

So he asked after a while: "What about you?"

Shen Liuzhen seemed to see the reason for his hesitation and said seriously:

"It's not safe for you to be with us... Xie Yuanhui and I are being used as hostages in the city. I'm afraid this place has been revealed by those outside. Sooner or later they will come to search. You go out first, and we will also find another place to hide. You can delay it for a while and see if there is any improvement. If the Beiyi people ask you about our whereabouts, tell the truth. They can only come in and search anyway."

Only then did Guan Yifei react. Yes, they will be searched sooner or later. The people from Beiyi just said that if they don't go out, they will be killed...

He stood and hesitated for a while. More and more people were leaving outside, and they were kneeling in a dark place. Voices of begging and begging for mercy kept coming and going, and the crowd was noisy.

"Go out, Shen Liuzhen is right." Xie Yuan came to a conclusion.

Guan Yifei finally stopped hesitating and took the children, leaning against the wall and bypassing Baldy's body on the ground, opening the door and going out one by one.

When a child passed by the door, he looked up and asked Xie Yuan with tears in his eyes: "Brother Xie, I'm afraid, won't you come with us?"

Xie Yuan pursed his lips, tears welling up in his eyes. He loosened his hand on the sword at his waist, touched his head and said, "I'll protect you from behind, so go ahead."

Guan Yifei and the others cautiously moved forward among the refugees who were leaving, and soon they could no longer see their backs.

Xie Yuan, Shen Liuzhen and three soldiers also hurried out and went deeper, hiding in an empty house.

After the door was closed, Shen Liuzhen leaned against the wall and gasped because he was too scared and had poor physical strength.

Liu Qinbing was hit by an arrow in his arm, and he lost so much blood that he couldn't even breathe hard.

Xie Yuan was speechless and said: "Do you still remember that Master said that if you are lazy and don't practice running, you will not be able to escape if there is a war? What did you say at that time?"

Shen Liuzhen took another breath and said, "I said I would be able to run by then..." He wiped the sweat from his head, "Actually, I am mainly scared, not tired."

Xie Yuan, speaking from his own experience, mocked him and said: "If you had practiced more and become more capable, you wouldn't be afraid of being like this now."

Xie Yuan stood on the crack of the door and looked outside, rolling his eyes at him with red phoenix eyes.

Afraid?

Fear……

In particular, Shen Liuzhen had a rich imagination. He was terrified at the thought of being placed in front of the two armies, and then being killed by his father, and being shot into a sieve by a hail of bows and arrows with just a wave of his hand.

It's really chilling, freezing cold.

Shen Liuzhen glanced at Xie Yuan and saw that she was still energetic and motivated, so she asked:

"Aren't you afraid?... We are only eleven years old. No, today is your birthday and I am not eleven yet. If they catch me later, you will most likely die first and I will have to be taken away. Go to my father and die..."

Xie Yuan's red eyes turned white due to the light from the crack of the door. She frowned, and her already powerful eyebrows immediately became sharp, and she glared at him sideways. Her childish voice was lowered and she said:

"Do you know that if you disturb the morale of the army by calling the enemy a big enemy, you will be beheaded if you are in the army?"

Shen Liuzhen's heart trembled, and he felt that Xie Yuan's current appearance was very scary... Of course, he also felt guilty, and then he said pitifully:

"A Yuan...I, am I afraid? I just make a joke to embolden myself."

"Humph." Xie Yuan rolled his eyes at him with disgust.
