Chapter 973 Exercise Begins (1)
"But mother..." Ji Xiao was stunned, and Aunt Li raised her hand to stop her. "I know you are afraid that they will blame you, but we have experienced war before. You don't know the chaos at that time. There were fires and wailing everywhere. At that time, your uncle Li took me to hide and escape all the way. I still remember the helplessness and despair at that time."
"Mom." Aunt Ji grabbed Aunt Li's hand and comforted her.
"Girl, it is precisely because of my experience that I support you. If this thing succeeds, you will not know how much it will help them! The benefits will last a lifetime!" Aunt Li said seriously, "I wish what I experienced was just an exercise, not real."
"Mom, I understand." After hearing what Aunt Li said, Ji Xiaomu nodded slightly.
"Whatever happens, don't worry about us old bones! We can take care of ourselves!" Aunt Li smiled at Ji Xiaomu, "You must be careful not to hurt the baby in your belly."
"I will." Ji Xiaowu nodded.
Aunt Li patted Aunt Ji's hand, then turned and left.
After a few days of uneventful life, the war cry suddenly sounded in Heyang City. A group of bandits broke down the city gate in the middle of the night and began to plunder as soon as they entered the city. They beat anyone they saw and robbed any woman they saw. They plundered non-stop and broke into every house.
For a while, the whole Heyang City was filled with screams, but the screams could not save them. Instead, they attracted more robbers.
The girls were locked together, crying helplessly and protecting each other.
They saw their family members being beaten and saw countless bandits entering the city along the way. They did not dare to resist at all and could only allow themselves to be captured and locked up here.
Some elderly people who had experienced the war would take their families to hide in the cellars of their homes or go directly up the mountain and hide in caves as soon as they heard the war cry.
"I advise you to be sensible and not seek death. The knife in my hand will show no mercy! Hand over the food and women in your house to me..." Several robbers with red cloth tied around their bodies rushed into a house and shouted at the head of the family.
"Sir, I'll give you the food. Please let my wife and daughter go..." The men all wanted to hand over the food, but their wives and daughters refused.
Several people came forward and dragged the man outside. The man's wife and daughter were taken away by several other robbers. Along the way, the two could only cry helplessly and dared not resist.
"You are dead. Stay here and don't move. Do you understand?" When the man was taken to the corner outside the house, the robber said fiercely to him, then took out a red pen and wrote the word "death" on the man's forehead.
"Sir..." The man looked at the robber in astonishment, confused by his actions.
"This is an exercise arranged by the general. It is to let you experience what will happen in the war in advance. Don't worry, your wife and daughter are fine, but now please cooperate. Because you chose to accept your fate, you will be 'dead' and your wife and daughter have been captured. Do you understand?" The robber said to the man.
The man's heart sank. He nodded, then lay down on the ground obediently, not moving.
After the robbers left, the man lay on the ground, thinking about his actions and digesting what the adult had just said.
If it were really bandits attacking, what he would have done just now would have been to hand over his wife and daughter to them, and he would have been killed by the bandits.
