It's a pity that although Zhu Ba had been a bandit for several years, he didn't have extraordinary martial arts skills. He only became the bandit leader because of his tall stature and brute strength. His joining did not change the battle situation too much.

Everyone in the Qianji Camp is a person with high martial arts skills. The big man opposite is already a master, but he is still unbeatable, let alone the unknown Zhu Ba.

After a few moves, Zhu Ba's body was already stained, blood was flowing down his chest, and his arms had been scratched.

As for the big men in coarse cloth, only two of them were struggling to support themselves.

The ground where the battle was taking place was now completely covered with wine. The strong smell of wine and blood entered Zhu Ba's nose. He accidentally slipped and fell to the ground.

"Hmph! You still want to be a hero when you have no ability! You're looking for death!"

A man from Qianjiying shouted, raised his knife and struck Zhu Bat on the head.

Just when Zhu Ba thought his life was over today.

It's too late, it's too soon——

One of the two remaining men in coarse cloth jumped up suddenly and blocked the sword for Zhu Ba!

The cold long knife struck his chest, and the tip of the knife broke out of his body. The man's blood spattered out, falling like raindrops on Zhu Ba's pale face.

The blood was warm, but Zhu Ba's heart felt as cold as the bottom.

The big man didn't die just yet. He said angrily: "Okay... good brother, you are good. You really deserve... you really deserve..."

Before he finished speaking, he tilted his head and died.

The big man in coarse cloth behind him saw this and his eyes were about to burst. He kicked the table legs violently, then raised the table and threw it at several people in Qianji Camp.

Several people from Qianji Camp hurriedly jumped away. The man was extremely powerful and picked up tables one after another and threw them at them.

In the midst of the chaos, a wooden box fell to the ground with a bang, and the objects inside rolled to the ground, but no one noticed it at this time.

After several tables were thrown out, the man's strength seemed to be exhausted. He was holding the big knife tiredly, panting...

The same thing happened to the people from Qianji Camp. They gasped and said: "Huh, mantis is blocking the car! You still want to stop us from doing things!"

"I'll send you to see the King of Hell now!"

Zhu Ba, who was covered under the table, was pale at the moment. The severe pain made him tremble all over. He was bleeding a lot, and he felt that his fingertips were starting to get cold.

He was stabbed several times, and a chill spread across his body.

At this critical moment of life and death, a fragment suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was a picture of him, his brother, and his mother sitting around the stove many years ago before he left home. There was a hodgepodge of various vegetables on the fire. His mother would always put it next to the fire. One or two sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes taste very fragrant when roasted. It has a burnt aroma but tastes sweet.

Every time, he and his brother would eat one by one and enjoy the meal, but his mother would always stir it up and down in the pot with a big spoon, and at the same time say slightly reproachfully: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, It’s so hot and your mouth is blistering that you can’t stand it anymore.”

Now that I think about it, it is really a beautiful thing to sit around the stove with my family in the winter, eating hot meals and having a warm fire.

Yes, it needs fire!

At this point, only fire can kill these sons of bitches! !

The next moment, Zhu Ba tremblingly took out the fire seal from his arms and blew in a few breaths.

There was only a "pop" sound, and a cluster of sparks lit up.

Although Zhu Ba's body was also full of strong alcohol, he had already made a decision!

Without any hesitation, he pulled off a piece of cloth and lit it.

"puff".

The cluster of sparks ignited the cloth, and the fire from the cloth ignited the high-strength alcohol all over the floor, and this flame ignited the wood chips scattered on the ground.

Then, a violent tongue of fire broke out in the store.

Under the fierce flames, everyone was surrounded by flames, and screams suddenly sounded.

The big man in coarse cloth was also surrounded by flames. He was already injured. He couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground in front of Zhu Ba.

He said angrily: "Uncle Zhu... Zhu Ba, if I get to know you soon, I, Li Hai, will definitely become brothers with you and take you into the Crimson Tide Alliance to achieve great... great things."

"well done!"

Zhu Ba's whole body was filled with fire at the moment, and he had no time to listen to a word. He was pressed by the table, and he couldn't help twisting his body, desperately fighting the flames on his body.

He didn't want to die so early, he hadn't gone home yet.

Although the Qianji Camp people were covered in flames, they had already begun to run outside...

but--

Right at this moment.

There was a loud "bang"!

But the objects that fell from the wooden box were ignited by the flames, and then exploded!

Countless pieces of iron were sprayed out, and the blast swept through the entire store. Everyone was overturned, and the few people in Qianji Camp were hit against the wall.

The aftermath of the explosion also caused the flames to slowly extinguish...

-

The broken table was pushed away, and Zhu Ba came out tremblingly. His face was pale, blood was constantly seeping from the corners of his mouth, and his hair was burnt black.

He walked slowly toward the outside of the store. The road was not long, but he walked for a long time.

After leaving the shop, he tremblingly untied the horse's rope, then gritted his teeth, swallowed the blood in his throat, and got on the horse.

But at this time, he could no longer sit up. He could only lie on the horse's back, gently pat the horse's body, and uttered incomprehensible words. Blood flowed from his mouth, and the horse's body was already covered in blood.

"Old man, go back...home..."

The black horse lowered his head and walked forward step by step.

After walking a few steps, the black horse suddenly stopped and its path was blocked.

In front, the old woman walked towards it with a cane, tapping the ground again and again.

With a "bang" sound, Zhu Ba finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell from his horse.

He groaned softly in his mouth, and blood was pouring out. Zhu Ba turned his head with difficulty and looked forward.

At this glance, his already darkening eyes suddenly shrank.

The old woman who came over had her old face, even though it was full of wrinkles, even though her head was full of white hair, even though her eyes were white and blind.

But he never forgot this face.

That was his mother, Sun Xiuying, who was from Sunjiakou in Jun'an County!

Zhu Ba turned around and crawled towards her. Tears mixed with blood fell from his eyes. He wanted to shout out, but he couldn't. His body was getting cold.

He could only shout in his heart.

"Mom! I've only been away for eight years. Why... why are you blind and hunched? How come you've aged like this?"

"It turns out that my mother moved here, and my home is right in front. It's so close. This is my home..."

The old woman banged her stick and came closer and closer.

A faint smile appeared on Zhu Ba's pale face, but the smile quickly disappeared.

He couldn't feel much pain, but he felt that breathing was getting harder and harder, and his vision gradually began to blur. He began to lose sight of the mother he thought about day and night.

Zhu Ba lay down helplessly, already knowing in his heart that he was going to die.

He contracted his nostrils, opened his mouth, and began to suck in air with the last bit of his strength.

"hiss--"

A large mouthful of fresh air poured into his throat from his nose and mouth, and was then sucked into his ruptured lungs. His heart, which was already beating slower and slower, began to pump blood faster, and every trace of strength returned to his body.

My eyes are no longer blurry and my hands have strength.

Zhu Ba put his hands on the ground, raised his head hard, and looked at the old woman who was still a few steps away. Blood and tears continued to fall from his eyes.

He moved his throat and used the last bit of his strength to shout.

"Mom! I'm home!"

This sound was very loud. It was simply the loudest sound Zhu Ba had ever shouted in his life. It exhausted all his strength and the last trace of his life force.

There was a "bang" sound.

With a peaceful smile on his face, Zhu Ba fell to the ground——

The old woman's cane stopped abruptly, and she uttered a hoarse voice: "Dog?"

A man who looked somewhat similar to Zhu Ba ran over quickly and shouted: "Mom! Why did you come out! There's a fight happening here, it's very dangerous!"

The old woman raised her head, "I just...just heard the dog's voice. Is he back?"

Dog is Zhu Ba’s nickname.

The middle-aged man pulled his mother and wanted to leave. His eyes accidentally glanced at Zhu Ba's face, and he was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, he walked quickly to Zhu Ba. He stretched out his hand to feel his breath, and then suddenly retracted his hand. At this moment, his breathing was almost stagnant.

His mouth was open, his eyes began to turn red, and his body was shaking.

The old woman was still asking: "Son, is your brother back? I just heard his voice."

The man took a few deep breaths, but he couldn't stop the tears from coming to his eyes. He walked to his mother and shouted into her ear:

"Mom! Brother is not back!"

"He's teaching abroad! He can't get away! He's very busy!"

There was a disappointed expression on the old woman's face. She turned around, started walking home with her crutches, but kept mumbling:

"It's been eight years, and I'm so busy... I'm still so busy..."

"Can't you go home more often..."

Behind her, the middle-aged man threw himself on Zhu Ba, already crying loudly...

-

On this day, a fierce battle took place in this unknown place, and no one survived.

The unknown Zhu Ba, whom no one knows, misses the reunion day at the beginning of winter on the eleventh day.

That is, in the evening of November 19th, he returned to his long-awaited home.

-

Similarly, on this day, Qin Ze received a second letter. This letter came from the capital. It also had a plum blossom logo on it, and it was urgently sent from eight hundred miles away.

At this time, there were only three days left before the army left Beiliang.

And Qin Ze's points have also arrived——

Seventy million.

PS: Yesterday, some people said they were envious of the cold weather and wanted to see it snow.

???

It's freezing to death, okay! It's so cold! You have to muster up the courage to even go to the toilet (? _ ?)

It turns out that even covering myself with a quilt doesn't work. Last night I woke up from the cold in the middle of the night. I ran to find an electric blanket before I could fall asleep. I cried to death.

Good night(???`?)
