Origin Chapter 183: In hindsight

Seeing Jiang Baili retreat, Wu Zhongyuan did not draw his bow again. The giant eagle that Jiang Baili transformed into was already flying high and could not shoot.

Wu Qin didn't chase after him in the air either. When his manpower was poor, he was able to persevere until now, all relying on Niulongmae to provide him with a steady stream of spiritual energy. In fact, his physical strength has already been severely overdrawn. If he puts down Niulongmae at this time, I'm afraid it will collapse instantly.

When the cattle people retreated into the forest in the west, Wu Qin turned to look at Wu Zhongyuan who was standing beside him.

Knowing that Wu Qin was looking at him, Wu Zhongyuan also turned to look at Wu Qin. Wu Qin's expression at this time was very complicated. There were some relief after the war, and some incredible surprises, but more of it was the catastrophe of the tribe. Pity and remorse.

After staring directly at him for several seconds, Wu Qin sighed, turned and walked east. As he walked past Wu Zhongyuan, he raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Presiding over the aftermath."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Seeing Wu Qin sighing continuously while walking, he said to him, "Sir, you have done your best."

This is a comforting word, but also a big truth. As the person in charge of Daqiu, Wu Qin has done his best. In order to protect the thousands of people in Daqiu, he did not hesitate to hand over the Niulong. Mace. After Jiang Baili reneged on his promise, he fought back against a strong enemy with one enemy and four, and what he did was called his best efforts.

But this sentence obviously didn't have the effect of comforting. Wu Qin didn't answer, and didn't even nod his head. He just sighed again and went away in frustration.

Wu Qin was in a low mood for no reason. The huge city was now in ruins, with broken walls and corpses everywhere. Looking around, there were no living people on the street.

After Wu Qin walked away, Wu Zhongyuan walked north. As soon as he took a step, he felt a pain like a needle in the soles of his feet. He looked down and found that the soles of his shoes had long since been worn out. blood bubbles.

At this time, there is no rubber sole, beef tendon sole, and the sole is just several layers of tanned cowhide, which is not resistant to wear and tear. Too nervous to pay attention.

My residence has been burned down, and I have no shoes to change. I can only take off a pair from the corpses of the tribesmen who died on the roadside, sit on the ground, and wear them tied up.

Just as he was putting on his shoes, an elderly woman came out of the ruins to the north, picked up the cloak he had torn off and abandoned by Jiang Baili, held it in both hands, and came over and presented it to him.

Seeing the old woman's sad eyes and humble attitude, Wu Zhongyuan finally understood Wu Qin's mood at the moment. As a bear warrior, while enjoying the privileges of the nobles and the support of the clan, he also shoulders the obligation to protect the clan. For whatever reason, as long as the clansmen are hurt, it is their dereliction of duty.

Wu Zhongyuan took the cape and nodded at the old woman, who bent over at him and staggered back.

Wu Zhongyuan tied his shoelaces, got up and put on a cloak, and stood at a high place, wanting to raise his breath and make a sound to inform the tribe that the enemy had retreated, but he stood for a long time and didn't know how to speak.

In the end, he still bite the bullet and shouted, "The enemy has been repelled, and Lord Jushan has an order to clean up and treat the aftermath."

Shout once, pause for three seconds, then shout again, until exhausted and out of breath, before stopping.

Hearing his cry, the surviving clansmen gradually came out of their hiding places. He was slightly relieved that there were more surviving people than he had expected. Visually, there were seven or eight hundred people, most of them old, young, women and children. , When the war happened, they all hid, and there were not many strong men left, and apart from Wu Qin and Wu Dalie, he was the only warrior left, and all the rest were killed in battle.

Everyone is watching him at this point, waiting for him to give orders.

After thinking about it, Wu Zhongyuan issued a series of orders to arrange and bury the bodies of the tribesmen, and send the bodies of the warriors to the morning meeting hall for parking. Build temporary shelter as soon as possible and collect rice grains. Send someone to the city where they belong to report the letter, and ask them to send a doctor to treat the wounded, and at the same time deliver rice and grain to relieve the urgent need.

The horses in the stables were also burned to death. Only the white nose, which was run by others, survived. It was disliked by others before, and it came in handy at this time. Chuyi City for help.

Instructed to do a good job, Wu Zhongyuan went to Wu Qin's residence and informed Wu Qin of the current situation in the city and how to make arrangements.

Wu Qin closed his eyes and listened to Wu Zhongyuan's report. After nodding his head, he said, "Tell the capital of the accident in Daqiu."

"There are no more letter birds flying to the capital," Wu Zhongyuan said, "but I released one last night. If they see letter birds, the reinforcements they will send should be here soon."

Wu Qin opened his eyes when he heard the sound, frowned and glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, he could see what he wanted to say, but in the end he didn't say anything, just raised his hand, "Da Lie was seriously injured, he was already collapsed and unconscious, I have to work hard for you. ."

Wu Zhongyuan returned to the matter within the sentence, then said goodbye and left.

At this time, Daqiu can only be described as devastated and shrouded in gloomy clouds. The damage to Daqiu from the war last night was almost devastating. Most of the houses in the city were burned down, including warehouses and granaries. Livestock pens were not spared either.

Before taking A Luo back, Wu Zhongyuan ordered her grandmother's body to be buried. He didn't want A Luo to see the horrible corpse burned by the fire, just like he didn't want to enter A Tong's room last night It is a truth, whether it is the sights you see, the sounds you hear, or the things that happen, they will leave an imprint in people's memory. Negative things can be avoided as much as possible. No good effect.

Aluo was still where he was, and when he saw Wu Zhongyuan approaching from a distance, he greeted him from a distance without waiting for him to approach.

Wu Zhongyuan squeezed a smile at him, then turned around and walked first, followed by Ah Luo.

He didn't hold A Luo's hand because she was still young. Ever since he knew A Luo was a girl, he began to avoid suspicion. There is a difference between men and women, not to mention that they are only masters and servants, even if they are biological parents, Necessary measures and distances must also be maintained with children of the opposite **** over the age of ten.

When there were still a few hundred meters from the city, Wu Zhongyuan found that there were people coming from the east. Due to the distance, he could not see the appearance of the people who came, but it was not difficult to see through the way and speed of their movement that these people came They are all masters of purple energy who can fly across the sky.

When the other party approached, Wu Zhongyuan looked again. There was no doubt that these people were masters of purple qi. There were five people in total, and one of them did not use volley to fly, but sat on the back of a huge bird.

Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly to himself when he saw the people coming. These people reminded him of the police officers in Hong Kong and Taiwan films, who only came after the fight was over.

The visitor saw the tragic scene in the city and rushed to the place near the morning meeting hall.

Wu Zhongyuan did not take A Luo back to his original residence, but took him to A Tong's residence. No matter what is good or bad.

The body in the house had been removed before. Wu Zhongyuan settled A Luo, left the stone house, and cleaned up the ruins of the fire with the clan.

Warriors don't need to do this. His move is suspected of being a show, but at this time there is no such thing as a show, and the clansmen don't have the concept of a show in their minds. They just feel that he shouldn't do such dirty things.

Actually, Wu Zhongyuan didn't really want to do it. He was tired and sleepy right now. He wanted to lie in bed for three days and three nights. Among the five people is a cave warrior in his sixties. This person is likely to recognize his father. For the sake of safety, try not to let the other party see his true appearance.

Actually, what he did was completely unnecessary. If there was a mirror, he would have found himself unremarkable. In order to rescue Arlo, his face was blackened by the fire.

Not long after, Wu Qin's eldest daughter came over from a distance, "Zhongyuan, my father called you."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know what they were called until now. Hearing her call, he put down his work and went east with her.

At this time, there is no delicate woman. This woman is reserved, but she still praises him for his bravery. Wu Zhongyuan responds embarrassingly. Other men are eager to have beautiful women, but he is afraid The other person likes himself.

Wu Zhongyuan's embarrassment and unnaturalness were misunderstood by the other party as embarrassment, "Did my father tell you?"

"Ah? Well, who are those people here?" Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly changed the subject.

"As the wizards and warriors from the capital." The other party replied.

"Oh, oh, what are they doing to me?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Not sure."

"Let's go quickly, don't keep them waiting." Wu Zhongyuan found an excuse to stop talking to the other party.

Wu Qin's residence is very close to the morning meeting hall. At this time, all the visitors are at Wu Qin's house. The huge bird fell on the square in the east. This is a giant bird that has long been extinct in modern times. , White feathers and red heads, like a crane but not, when it is an ibis.

Bring Wu Zhongyuan into the yard, Wu Qin's eldest daughter went elsewhere. At this time, the door of the main hall was open, and he could see the scene inside. Wu Qin did not take the seat, but sat on the left side. , There are five people sitting on the right side, the one headed is a male wizard of about forty years old, tall and thin, the wizard's costume is somewhat similar to that of the warrior, but there are cloud patterns and bear head embroidery on the back.

This wizard's cloak is purple, indicating that he has a cultivation base of Dongyuan, and below him is the short old man in his sixties, who is also a cultivation base of purple energy.

This person's next head is a tall and strong man of thirty-five or six years old, with a lavender cultivation base.

The next one is a young female warrior, whose cultivation is also lavender.

The male warrior at the bottom is about forty-five or six years old.

Before entering the room, Wu Zhongyuan noticed that the atmosphere was different. Everyone, including Wu Qin, had very serious expressions.

When Wu Zhongyuan entered the door, Wu Qin opened his mouth to introduce everyone to him, "Wu Rong in Dongyuan, Wu Tong in Dongyuan, Songshi in Jushan, Fenghua in Jushan, Wu Zhou in Jushan."

At this time, the spiritual qi cultivation base is the official rank of a warrior. Wu Qin introduced them one by one, and Wu Zhongyuan greeted them one by one. The gesture of greeting is very similar to the clasped fists of later generations of warriors.

Wu Zhongyuan's greeting was not exchanged for everyone's return. Only the head wizard Wu Rong and the last one Wu Zhou nodded, and the three people in the middle sat still.

"Wu Zhongyuan." Wu Qin finally reported Wu Zhongyuan's name, and then pointed at Wu Zhongyuan to the next seat, motioning him to sit.

Wu Zhongyuan thanked him but didn't sit down. Wu Qin's first seat was a wooden chair with a backrest.

After a brief silence, Wu Rong took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve and asked in a deep voice, "Did you draw the three crosses on this cloth..."
