Chapter 215 Unexpected Encounter 3

Qian E looked at her daughter in her arms with heartache. The little girl had a pale face, purple lips, and her body kept shaking, as if she would freeze to death at any moment.

"Mother...lengleng..." the little girl in her arms murmured in a daze. The weak voice made Qian E's heart hurt.

Qian E hugged her daughter tightly, trying to bring her some warmth with her body temperature, but this was obviously of no avail.

Qian'e's eyes were empty, and her thoughts drifted back to three days ago, when the three of them were not in such a miserable state.

At that time, a group of bandits suddenly attacked them. Qian E fled desperately with her two young children and finally escaped into the forest.

However, they did not gain safety because the bandits did not give up hunting them down.

For the next three days, Qian E took the children and hid deep in the mountains and forests, not daring to show up easily.

Their only food was a few sweet potatoes, which were quickly eaten by the two younger children.

Qian E herself only ate some sweet potato peels to sustain her life.

During these three days, they did not dare to go down the mountain because the bodies of the refugees who returned home with them were scattered on the roadside at the foot of the mountain.

She was horrified to see the bodies lying there naked.

Because she didn't dare to go down the mountain, Qian E could only rely on drinking water from the mountain streams to get through the difficult days.

At night, wild animals in the mountains would come to the roadside to eat the corpses. The horrific scene made Qian E unable to sleep all night.

By this day, Qian E felt that she really couldn't bear it any longer.

Her physical condition was very bad, and her mental and physical strength had reached the limit, but these were not what worried her most.

What really made her anxious was that her daughter, who was only three years old, had a high fever, and her son was staggering when he walked because of hunger.

Qian E knew that they had to find food and doctors to treat the children as soon as possible, so she gritted her teeth and decided to risk going down the mountain to seek help.

"Girl! Don't scare me! I'll find a doctor for you right away!"

Qian E hugged her daughter tightly, who was wrapped in a torn cotton-padded jacket, with a look of determination in her eyes. Although she herself was in great pain, her motherly love prevented her from giving up.

Following closely behind her was her son, who was so hungry that his steps were weak and his expression was listless. The two, one adult and two children, went down the mountain desperately. They had only one goal in mind: to find food and a doctor to save their children.

However, they did not encounter the bandits they were worried about along the way. When they finally reached a place not far from the official road, they heard a burst of hurried horse hooves coming from behind.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer, accompanied by a man's hoarse roar: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Qian E was already so hungry that her steps were a little unsteady. After being suddenly frightened, her legs went weak and she fell directly to the side of the road.

The son behind her also fell to the ground because he was holding on to his mother's worn-out cotton-padded coat. Qian Yue'e hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, and used her other hand to pull her son who was falling behind her over.

Just as he pulled his son to the side of the road, the sound of horse hooves came closer to them. "Da da da", six or seven war horses carrying several dusty soldiers galloped past them.

"Ah!" A scream came from Qian E's mouth. It turned out that she had desperately dragged her daughter and son to the roadside, but forgot to take care of herself and was still slumped on the roadside.

When Qian E finally pulled the two children behind her and made sure they were temporarily safe, she felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and she even lost the ability to move.

At this moment, the last war horse happened to pass by her, however, fate played a cruel joke on her - the war horse's hoof ruthlessly stepped on her right tibia.

In an instant, Qian E heard a crisp "click" sound, followed by an unbearable pain coming from her calf.

The pain surged into her heart like a tide, causing her to scream uncontrollably.

"Mom! Mom! What's wrong with you?" The little boy was still immersed in fear, but when he heard his mother's scream, he suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly crawled to his mother and asked with concern.

However, due to the extreme pain and physical weakness at this time, Qian'e's consciousness gradually became blurred under the double blow, and she eventually fell into a coma.

The little boy called out to his mother anxiously, but no matter how he called, his mother didn't respond.

What horrified him even more was that he saw his mother's bloody shin bone twisted and deformed. This scene made his face turn pale as paper in an instant.

She just kept crying and shaking her mother desperately, "Mom, don't scare me! Mom, wake up soon!"

The little boy shook his mother for a long time, but there was no response from her. All he was left with was endless confusion and fear in his heart.

The miserable cries of the young children spread far and wide on this seldom-traveled road. If it were not for the continued drought and war that caused the people to lose their crops and become homeless, this road would not have been so sparsely populated.

But now, there are bandits and robbers everywhere. They burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil, making ordinary people dare not show up here easily.

The little boy's crying became quieter and quieter, mixed with the murmurs of the little girl in the woman's arms. It seemed as if this evil God wanted to completely destroy this miserable family and put them into despair.

"Boom!" Just as the boy's voice became weaker and weaker, as if he had stopped crying, the roar of a motor came from a distance.

However, the little boy was already shrouded in pain and despair at this moment and had no intention of observing all this.

"Captain, there are several people lying down in front! There are children among them!" A soldier shouted from the roof of the car.

In fact, such human tragedies were not uncommon for these soldiers of the 78th Army. The same thing happened in the north a few years ago.

Such tragedies are common throughout China. Now that Shanxi Province and North China have been liberated, the entire 78th Army hopes that such tragedies will disappear from the land of China.

But after arriving in the Central Plains Province, they realized how severely the natural disasters and wars and man-made disasters in recent years had devastated this ancient land.

"Send someone to check. If he's still alive, rescue him! If he's not, bury him properly!"

Regiment commander Shi Zhihua shook his head helplessly. He really didn't like such a scene. He would rather fight a bloody battle with the enemy than see such a human tragedy happen in front of him.

This time he was transferred from the 1st Armored Division to the newly formed 8th Armored Division as a colonel commander, which made Shi Zhihua, who had always been fighting on the front line, very uncomfortable.

He was already somewhat resistant to begin with, and all he encountered along the way were human tragedies that made him feel very uncomfortable, and he felt even more depressed.

In addition, when he passed a small hill just now, he saw the human bodies that were torn into pieces by wild beasts, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

The twenty-odd armored vehicles and tanks bypassed the three men, leaving behind one armored vehicle to see the situation.
