The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 373 The Girls Return to the Village

The three brothers Lin Kang, Lin Ping and Lin An had known about Lin Xi's arrangements for a long time. They knew that Lin Xi had a boundary bead on him, which he could hide in when in danger, so they were not very worried.

Before leaving, they looked at Lin Xi, without any further ado, and silently followed everyone away.

Soon General Cao and others arrived at the place where they had been hiding before.

Inside the cave, the guard heard faint voices coming from the top of the cliff. He quietly left the cave and looked towards the top of the cliff.

When he heard the familiar voice, he flew up excitedly and saw General Cao and others.

"My subordinates pay their respects to the general!"

The guards quickly bowed to General Cao.

"No need to be so polite, Lin Kang, you two should go down together and bring those women up so that we can take them back to the barracks as soon as possible!"

General Cao looked at Lin Kang and the other kids and said, then he winked at Lin Kang.

His guards didn't know about the existence of the divine beast, so he couldn't make it public. He had to ask Lin Kang to quietly find the little turtle and have it return to Lin Xi to help her.

"Okay, let's go down now!"

Lin Kang understood and waved to the kids. They all jumped down the cliff and entered the cave.

"Aunts, the Jin soldiers have been completely wiped out. There is no need for you to hide. Let's go out now and follow General Cao back to the barracks first!"

Lin Kang walked into the cave first and said to the women with a smile.

"Woo woo woo! Great! Those beasts are finally dead!"

"My dear father, rest in peace. Our soldiers of Daxia have avenged you!"

"My poor grandson, those demons that ate you are finally dead, finally dead!"

.......

The women started crying while laughing, and their hearts were broken when they thought of their dead relatives.

They didn't want to go anywhere and just wanted to go back to the village and spend the rest of their lives in their house.

After being taken to the cliff and seeing General Cao, Grandma Xinghua trembled and knelt in front of General Cao, her face full of tears, and she choked and said, "Thank you soldiers for avenging us. We will not disturb the soldiers in the barracks anymore. Now we just want to go back to the village. I hope the general will grant us this!"

"Okay, we'll take you back to the village!"

"Thank you, General, and thank you, young warriors!"

The women knelt down and bowed to General Cao and others with tears of gratitude!

The kids rushed forward and helped them up.

"What's going on with her?"

Looking at Yingxiang with her hands tied, General Cao asked the guard who stayed in the cave.

The guard quickly told Yingxiang what she had done and her experience.

General Cao looked at Yingxiang for a long time without saying anything. Grandma Pangya sighed, walked up to General Cao and pleaded for Yingxiang: "General, this child has a miserable life. I hope you can show some leniency and forgive her this time!"

"Your name is Yingxiang, right? Since this auntie has pleaded for you, this general will not pursue you. We will take you down the mountain in a while, and you can leave on your own!"

General Cao looked at Yingxiang, who lowered her head and remained silent, and said lightly.

Yingxiang didn't say anything either, just nodded woodenly.

"Little Turtle, where are you?"

Inside the cave, after everyone went up, Lin Kang began to look for the little turtle.

"I'm here!"

The little turtle's body suddenly grew bigger, and it flew in front of Lin Kang and said.

"Little Turtle, hurry back to Xi'er now. She is staying on the battlefield waiting for the Jin Kingdom's Imperial Master!"

Lin Kang looked at the little turtle and said anxiously.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

After hearing what Lin Kang said, the little turtle became a little anxious. He stopped wasting time, turned into the size of a bird, and flew quickly away.

Lin Kang watched the little turtle disappear into the darkness and fly up the cliff. He nodded quietly to General Cao.

General Cao saw this and said to everyone, "Okay, let's get down the mountain quickly!"

A group of people walked quickly down the mountain.

After sending the women back to the small mountain village, General Cao and others returned to the military camp.

Xinghua and others who were brought back to the military camp by the guards heard that their mothers had returned to the mountain village, and they all asked General Cao to let them go back to the village. They waited for their benefactor in the village.

General Cao knew that they were worried about their families, so he ordered the guards to send them back to the village and gave them a lot of food and other supplies.

"Brothers, just send us here, and go back and have a rest. Thank you for your hard work!"

When they arrived at the entrance of the small mountain village, Xinghua and others were led off their horses by a group of guards. Xinghua squatted down and saluted to thank the guards, and asked everyone to stop.

They had already arrived at the village and could go in on their own. The guards had fought the Jin soldiers for a whole day and were very tired. They felt embarrassed to trouble them to make this trip.

Originally, Xinghua and the others didn't want to let the guards escort them, but General Cao wouldn't agree. Firstly, he was afraid that it would be unsafe for girls like them to travel in the dark, and secondly, he had promised Lin Xi to make good arrangements for them, so he naturally had to make sure they returned to the village safely.

"Girl, you don't have to be polite. Since we're here, we don't mind the journey. We'll take you home and then go back! Let's go. We still have food and other things. How can you little girls carry them?"

The leading guard gave her a handful of apricot blossoms to help her stand up, then looked at her and spoke gently.

These little girls are so pitiful. They have been abused by the Jin soldiers at such a young age. Any help they can provide is appreciated!

He felt sorry for these girls and admired them very much. After experiencing all these things, they did not give up on themselves. Instead, they were strong enough to learn skills from Miss Lin and did their best to help everyone make poison and destroy the Jin soldiers!

After thinking about it, he waved to his men behind him, led the horse and walked towards the village first.

Seeing this, Xinghua and others hurriedly followed.

The moon is very round tonight. The bright moonlight covers the entire village, and everyone can clearly see the situation in the village.

At this time, the whole village was quiet and lifeless, without any life at all!

The first place they arrived at was Xinghua's house.

Xinghua stared at the peach tree in front of her house in a daze. The scene of her younger brothers chasing each other, laughing and playing with the dog in the past appeared before her eyes.

A cool breeze blew and Xinghua woke up in shock. Her younger brothers and the cute little dog suddenly disappeared!

Tears covered her eyes, she would never see her brothers again!

She tried hard to control her tears, took a deep breath, raised her hand and pushed open the shaky and dilapidated gate.

With a creak, the door opened!

Xinghua walked into the yard, walked to the bamboo chair under the phoenix tree and stopped, stroking the back of the chair with trembling hands. In the past, grandpa loved to sit under this phoenix tree and weave bamboo baskets.

"Grandpa, please make more bamboo baskets and sell them in the county town, and then I'll buy a red hairband for our Xinghua!"

She touched her head and remembered the day when the Jin soldiers entered the village. Her grandfather touched her head and said that he would buy her a red hairband. He also said that when he saved more copper coins, he would buy her some cloth and ask her mother to make her new clothes. She would dress up beautifully and be a good family!

She could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, which dripped onto the bamboo chair.

Reluctantly letting go of the bamboo chair, she saw the hoe lying in the yard. She walked to the hoe with a pale face, squatted down and grasped the wooden handle of the hoe tightly!

When the Jin soldiers rushed in that day, Daddy used this hoe to fight them desperately and protected her behind him. It seems that the wooden handle still has Daddy's body temperature!

She will never see her grandpa, daddy and brother again!

A huge sadness swept over her, and Xinghua could no longer bear it. She hugged the hoe tightly in her arms, and the tears in her eyes kept falling like beads from a broken string!

The yard was silent, with only her suppressed sobs!

"Wow! Grandpa, Xinghua can no longer wait for your red hairband!"

"Daddy, no one will ever protect their daughter like you do!"

"Brother, please come back. I'll pick out bird eggs and fish for you. Don't you like eating the bird eggs and fish I cook the most?"

The other girls outside the door listened to Xinghua's sad sobs and looked at the familiar environment around them. The scenes of them working in the fields together and chatting about family matters seemed like they happened just yesterday!

Thinking about the fact that they would never see those familiar faces again and that their loved ones would never come back, they were overwhelmed with sadness, tears streaming down their faces, and their suppressed sobbing was heartbreaking to hear!

The guards stood outside the door, fists clenched tightly, quietly guarding the girls. At this moment, they didn't know how to comfort these children who had lost their loved ones!

If they could have repelled the Jin soldiers earlier, would these girls have not had to endure the pain of separation between life and death!

They couldn't bear to look at the pale, crying girls, so they lowered their heads, their eyes reddened, and blamed themselves secretly.

After an unknown amount of time, Xinghua in the yard, perhaps because she was tired of crying or remembered something, raised her head, looked at Pang Ya and others standing outside the door with her red and swollen eyes, and slowly stood up!

Because she squatted for too long, she felt dizzy, her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground!

Xinghua held her forehead and waited until the dizziness faded away before she staggered out of the yard. Her right hand was still tightly gripping the hoe, not letting go.

"Brother Guard, I'm sorry for delaying your return to the camp. My grandmother and mother haven't returned home yet. Let's go look for them in the village!"

Xinghua walked up to the guards and spoke apologetically. Her voice was a little hoarse because she had been crying for so long that everyone who heard it felt their throats were tight and uncomfortable.

Looking at Xinghua, whose face was pale, the leader of the guards asked in a worried voice, "Miss Xinghua, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Can you please accompany us to the village again, brothers?"

Xinghua tried hard to force a smile towards the guards.

"If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh. There's no need to be so polite to us. Let's go!"

Looking at the smile on Xinghua's face that was uglier than crying, the guard leader's eyes flashed with heartache, and he sighed and said.
