Under the sky

Chapter 136 Self-Immolation

Wu En looked Yang Yan up and down. Although Yang Yan had taken off the coat, Wu En still asked: "Where is your coat? Bears can freeze to death on the mountains in April. Where is your coat?"

Yang Yan said: "I was injured on the mountain. I tore up the wound and bandaged it and threw it on the mountain."

Wu En was doubtful and reached out to touch Yang Yan's clothes.Rubbing his fingertips twice, his eyes suddenly turned angry.He roared: "This is not our fabric." He roared and punched Yang Yan on the cheek.Yang Yan was already prepared and blocked with his left elbow.His boxing and kicking skills were taught by the third master himself, the EMI Fist, which was the most mysterious. Old Beggar Peng also taught him the proper principles of boxing and kicking, so he could attack while defending, and hit Wu En on the head with a single blow.Wu En didn't expect his fists and kicks to be so sharp. After receiving such a heavy blow, his nose began to bleed. Yang Yan took the opportunity to swing his knife to restrain the leader.

Wu En can become the leader of the refugees, how can his subordinates be confused?Although he was struck first, when he saw Yang Yan coming at him with his sword, he immediately drew out his machete to block.When the refugees saw that their leader was being attacked, they rushed forward on their horses and shouted loudly. The first few people slashed at Yang Yan with their swords.

Yang Yan made two quick attacks. Although Wu En was forced to scramble, blocking left and right, he still managed to hold on.Yang Yan was about to attack again, but the long sword was already close to him. Yang Yan blocked it with his sword. The opponent was outnumbered, and he was on horseback. He used the long sword to strike short. Yang Yan rolled over to avoid the attack, and then rushed towards Wu En. go.

Wu En took a breath and was already prepared, slashing at Yang Yan with his sword.After all, the Wuhu Gate-breaking Sword is a top-notch sword technique. Yang Yan has already mastered the essence, and Wu En can't get close to it.

Immediately, the refugees came slashing at him with their swords. Yang Yan knew that he had to fight quickly and tried to catch Wu En, but the horses were moving in front of him, and several long knives kept coming at him. With the swords and swords flashing, it was already difficult to stand up, let alone attack.

He was about to take a look, endure two knives, and let Zonghengtian go down to catch Wu En, when he suddenly heard a scream, and turned around, Wang Hong had been caught, and two long knives were placed on her neck.

Yang Yan was anxious, but Wu En came close to him, deflected Wild Fire with his machete, and punched Yang Yan in the stomach.Yang Yan was not willing to suffer, but he was not afraid of the pain. He turned his head and hit Wu En with a headbutt, which made Wu En dizzy.Just as he was about to go in again, he received a heavy blow on his back. Yang Yan's center of gravity tilted, and a dozen long knives were held against him.

Wu En stepped forward and took the wild fire from his hand, but Yang Yan refused to let go.Wu En suddenly punched Yang Yan in the face. Yang Yan turned his head and said loudly: "If you have the ability, don't defeat the small with more! If you are a good man, go one on one!"

"One-on-one is the honor of a warrior, and a thief is not worthy!" Wu En said, "Take his knife away from me!"

Several strong men pushed Yang Yan to the ground, stepped on his arm, pulled his fingers, and finally captured Ye Huo.

"Turn him over!" shouted Unn.Several strong men turned Yang Yan over again.Wu En lowered his body, took out a strip of cloth from his arms, and compared it with the clothes of Yang Yan and Wang Hong: "This kind of cloth is very similar to what you are wearing! You are the only one who has it around here."

"You not only laughed at Wu En, you also made a fool of Wu En! You liar!" Wu En kicked Yang Yan in the face.

"Beast, liar, blind man!" Wu En spat on Yang Yan's head and turned to look at Wang Hong.

"It has nothing to do with her!" Yang Yan yelled, "It's because I don't understand the rules! I insulted you and it has nothing to do with her!"

"Who is she to you?" Wu En asked.

At this point, Wang Hong could only try her best to lie and said: "I am Gultha's subordinate. He is the son of God Sa who was specially retrieved by Gultha from outside the customs! Gultha said... He said God Sa It is decreed that the Son of God is born in the pass, and people must be sent to pick him up! So many people have been sent to take the path of heroes just to enter the pass to welcome the son of God Sa!"

Wang Hong pointed at Yang Yan and said, "Look at his eyes, they are the eyes of God Sa!"

Wu En was startled and looked at Yang Yan. He saw Yang Yan's eyes were red and was shocked.Wang Hong continued: "I am really from Gulthas! Take us back to Nabu Batu, Gulthas will forgive your sins and let you return to the embrace of God Sa!"

Yang Yan heard what Wang Hong said and said quickly: "Wu En, if you dare to be disrespectful to me, God Sa will not forgive you! You will suffer endless suffering in the ice prison!" He added, "If you are respectful to me, I should forgive you, forgive your sins, and let you return to Batu and the embrace of God Sa!"

Unen laughed loudly and said: "Who are you lying to! God Sa has never had a son! Sa Hajin deceived the tribe, Gulthas wants to cheat again?"

Wang Hong was surprised: "Are you a refugee from Suma Batu?"

Wu En said angrily: "Tie him up!"

A group of people tied up Wang Hong and Yang Yan tightly. Yang Yan couldn't stop yelling and cursing, and Wang Hong begged to go back to Batu.Wu En ignored the two of them, led them behind the horse, and drove slowly westward.The two of them were dragged by the horse, so they inevitably stumbled and fell several times. Yang Yan gritted his teeth to hold on.

When they arrived at an open space, seeing that the sky was getting dark, the refugees threw the two of them aside.Yang Yan saw that Wang Hong was dejected, and that she was covered in dust. She didn't know how many times she fell, and her knees and calves were worn out. She couldn't help but blame herself, and asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt?"

Wang Hong sobbed: "Can you stop asking nonsense questions?"

Yang Yanzhi knew that she had always had a fierce temper, but to be so helpless at the moment, she must be extremely desperate, and she didn't know how to comfort her.I saw people setting up campfires to barbecue, and some people cooking.In the past few days, Yang Yan was so hungry that he was extremely hungry. He was stubborn and refused to beg for food from the enemy. But seeing Wang Hong's crying look, he thought she must be hungry and scared, so he shouted: "How many days do we have?" If you haven’t eaten well, can you give me something to eat?”

Wu En winked, and a strong man stepped forward and slapped Yang Yan hard.Yang Yan raised his head and said: "I stole the things, I left the money, it has nothing to do with this girl, come at me if you want to kill me, don't torture a girl!"

A strong man said something in Wu En's ear, and Wu En nodded.The strong man was carrying a pot of food, poured it on Yang Yan's face, and shouted: "Eat!"

It was millet. Yang Yan's face was red and swollen from being burned, but he didn't expect the other party to give him so much food. Although it was scattered all over the floor, he hurriedly asked Wang Hong to come and eat.Wang Hong was so hungry that she bent over and ate without caring about the dirt.The millet was in piles and lumps, so Yang Yan asked Wang Hong to eat first. He thought he had to eat enough before he could find a way to escape, so he picked out the scattered millet and ate it. He licked it with his tongue when it was out of reach with his teeth, until his mouth was filled with loess and gravel.

After a while, someone threw another large piece of meat of unknown origin and hit Yang Yan on the head, shouting: "Eat as much as you can for this reward!" Yang Yan held the piece of meat in his mouth, put it in front of Wang Hong, and said: "You can eat it." Wang Hong was not polite and immediately gobbled it up.

A man stepped forward and grabbed Wang Hong by the collar, shouting: "It's not for you!"

Yang Yan scolded: "Isn't it very impressive to be cruel to a woman?"

The man kicked Yang Yan, glanced at Wang Hong, walked over to Wu En and asked a few words, Wu En nodded.The man came over again, grabbed Wang Hong by the rope and dragged her into the tent.

Wang Hong knew what he wanted to do, struggled hard, and shouted in a panic: "Don't arrest me, I have nothing to do with him! This kid doesn't understand the rules, you... don't... don't!..."

When Yang Yan saw that the man was about to take Wang Hong away, he knew it. He let out a tiger's roar, and regardless of the ropes tied to his body, he jumped up and bumped into the man, knocking him staggering a few steps.The man kicked Yang Yan away. Yang Yan opened his mouth and bit him. No matter how hard the man beat him, Yang Yan would not let go.Several people rushed to hold him down. Yang Yan struggled and writhed, staring at the man with wide eyes. Four or five people could not hold him down.His lower mouth was really cruel, and he bit down tightly, biting off a piece of meat, and blood immediately flowed out like a fountain.

The man covered his legs and screamed loudly. Yang Yan's mouth was full of blood, and he became evil and swallowed the meat.With great difficulty, a group of people pinned him to the ground unable to move.The man was furious and raised his knife to kill Yang Yan, but the people around him rushed to stop him.

Yang Yan shouted sternly: "If you dare to touch her, I will chop you into pieces!"

The man found a piece of cloth and bandaged the calf wound, grabbed Wang Hong and dragged her into the tent. Wang Hong struggled desperately, but how could she get away?He shouted loudly: "No! I'm still a virgin and I can get a good price, so don't do it!..."

"Stop!" Wu En stood up suddenly, walked to Wang Hong, bent down and asked, "Are you still a virgin?"

Wang Hong lowered her head and said, "Yes..."

Wu En said: "You are a liar, I don't believe you!"

Wang Hong said loudly: "It's true! It's true! If you sell me, you can get two horses, or at least one!" Wu En pinched her cheeks and looked around, and touched her twice, like... He looked at the goods and said after a while: "Keep it."

The man looked unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to leave bitterly.

Wang Hong was frightened, exhausted, and sat down on the ground.Yang Yan comforted him in a low voice: "It's okay."

Wang Hong raised her head and glared at Yang Yan, her face full of anger.Yang Yan knew that she hated him, so he lowered his head and said, "I will find a way to save you." Wang Hong turned her head and just ignored her.

After nightfall, the guards on Yang Yan and Wang Hong did not relax at all, and four people were surrounding them at all times.Wang Hong had already fallen asleep from exhaustion. Yang Yan stayed up half the night and fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Early the next morning, the refugees kicked Yang Yan awake and led him all the way.Yang Yan didn't know what their plan was. Why didn't they kill him and waste precious food on him?
Wang Hong seemed to have lost all hope and just lowered her head. Yang Yan called her gently, but Wang Hong ignored him.

After walking for two days, the refugees didn't bother them anymore. They were insulted but not missing two meals a day.There was a refugee named Huck who was very polite to Yang Yan and kept talking to Yang Yan, but Yang Yan didn't pay much attention to him.

On the morning of the third day, they came to camp in front of a pond.The pond was very small, only a few dozen feet wide from side to side, and surrounded by seven or eight rare tall trees.When the refugees saw the pond, they cheered loudly, filled their water bottles, and drank happily. Some of them took off their clothes and took a bath.

A man came to pull Wang Hong, and Yang Yan cursed angrily: "What do you want to do again?" The man ignored him, took Wang Hong to the pond, and said a few words. Wang Hong just shook his head and faced Wu En's The direction shouted.

Wu En came over and started a fierce argument with Wang Hong.In the end, Wu En compromised and asked someone to set up a tent by the pond. One person untied Wang Hong's rope, let Wang Hong in, and asked the refugees to make space near the tent.Yang Yan didn't think they were doing anything bad, so he didn't know why.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Wang Hong walked out of the tent and changed into coarse linen clothes, which were only as short as her knees. She put on the leather jacket she brought down from the mountain. Her hair was disheveled. It turned out that she was taking a bath inside.Wang Hong said a few more words to Wu En. Wu En shook her head. Wang Hong was very disappointed. Then someone tied her hands and placed her waiting by the pond.

In the past two days, Wang Hong didn't say a word to Yang Yan. Whenever their eyes met, Yang Yan could feel Wang Hong's hateful and angry eyes, and knew that Wang Hong blamed herself for harming her.

As the day progresses, Yang Yan gradually feels his mouth is dry and his tongue is dry.Huck came to Yang Yan. He often talked to Yang Yan and was quite polite to Yang Yan, but Yang Yan didn't pay much attention to him.Yang Yan asked him: "What are you going to do with this girl?"

"Sold. A virgin is very valuable. You can at least exchange it for a horse or two women." Huck replied, "In the refugee tribe, horses and women are the most valuable."

"Why!" Yang Yan was furious.

Huck said: "You insulted Unen, and Unen exacted revenge. You are looted goods and can be disposed of as you wish."

"She is a human!" Yang Yan yelled.

"Are you really from Guannai?" Huck suddenly changed the subject.Yang Yan nodded and asked, "Is there any way you can save her?"

Huck shook his head: "I can't help it."

"I order you as the son of God Sa!" Yang Yan growled, "Save her! If not, I will punish you group of refugees! You will not have a good death, let alone a good life!"

Out of desperation, Yang Yan had no other choice. He knew that instead of reasoning, it would be better to use Sa Shen to scare the opponent.There was fear in Huck's eyes, but he still said: "Uen doesn't believe in the son of God Sa, so I can't help you..."

"Do you believe it?" Yang Yan stared at Huck with wide red eyes.Huck lowered his head and said: "I don't know whether I should believe it..."

Yang Yan asked: "How can you believe it?"

"A miracle!" Huck said, "If you show a miracle, I will believe it!"

Yang Yan asked: "What miracle?"

Huck shook his head and said: "I don't know... If you die in the bet with Ademu, then you are not the son of Sa Shen."

Yang Yan was confused: "What bet?"

Suddenly someone shouted: "Huck, where are the tent ropes?"

Huck responded: "Coming!"

Yang Yan remembered something and asked, "You just said that women and horses are the most important in the Liu tribe. Why can one virgin be exchanged for two women?"

Huck said: "Virgins are dedicated to God."

Yang Yan was taken aback, and when he was about to ask again, Huck had already left.

Not long after, Yang Yan saw another team gradually approaching from the distance. It seemed to be a larger team, with at least a hundred people.They left in no hurry, and they were expected to be the Ademu refugees that Huck had mentioned.

Seeing the Ademu refugees, Wu En's people mounted their horses one after another, led by Wu En, and lined up in front of the pond.Dozens of horses ran out of the Ademu refugee team. As they approached, Unn waved his hand, and his men surrounded the pond in a radius of thirty to forty feet, running to the left.

The running was not random, but orderly. They kept a certain distance and formed a circle, just like they did when they captured Yang Yan. They kept making weird chirping sounds, like bird calls and horse neighing. .

The first batch of Ademu refugees to arrive joined this team. They surrounded the horse team of the Wuen refugees and ran in the opposite direction to the Wuen refugees, spinning in a way that dazzled Yang Yan.

Not long after, a large force from the Ademu tribe arrived. They joined the original team and ran in the opposite direction to Wu En's team.Except for their leader—their leader should be named Ademu, right?Yang Yan thought to himself.

The ceremony lasted for about half an hour, with the shouts getting louder and louder, and the circling speed getting faster and faster.The two sides seemed to be competing to see whose morale was higher. They kept making strange noises, and the sound of horse hooves was like a wave. For a moment, Yang Yan felt like he was on the battlefield in a panic like when he kidnapped Yan Xuting.

As the pace of the horses gradually slowed down and the sound of hoofbeats gradually stopped, Wu En's riders filed back to the edge of the pond and stopped to line up behind Wu En. Ademu's men also gradually retreated behind Ademu. Only then did Yang Yan See clearly the appearance of the leader of this refugee group.

Ademu has light yellow blond hair, which is the first time Yang Yan has seen such hair color. He has a wrinkled face like orange peel, a flat nose and several conspicuous scars on his face.He is slender and rides a strong brown horse. The horse has a thin scimitar similar to that of Unn, and a long knife hangs on the side of the horse.He looks a bit old, no less than fifty, and Yang Yan would believe him if he said he was seventy.In comparison, Wu En, who is in his prime, looks strong and strong.

There were many people following behind the Ade Trojan team. Like Yang Yan, they were all led away by ropes. There seemed to be a few unkempt women among them.

Both groups of refugees have one thing in common, which is a totem the size of a thumb and with hexagonal shapes like snowflakes tattooed on their faces.That is the mark of the refugees.
