Chapter 18 eighteen

The general got worried and didn't want to fight anymore, so the general let his horse ride him up the hill. The general thought of the girl.Now that her brother is dead, isn't she lonely?Who is going to protect her?Didn't she have no one else in the family except her brother?Thinking of this, the general seemed to have seen this helpless young girl being protected in his arms.The general felt lucky that the warrior died in battle.At this time, General Hua Jingding was completely selfish. He forgot his former reputation for bravery, his own discipline, and even the fact that he was now at war.

The general was content to turn his horse's head and go back to the village, but he didn't feel that there was a Tubo general who recognized him following him. The Tubo general's broadsword had already slashed at the general's neck from his horse. As a result, the head of General Hua Jingding, known as the fierce general of Chengdu, was caught in the hands of a Tubo general in this way. But, did the general fall from his horse?No!The general did not feel that his head had been chopped off by the enemy.Glancing at the Tubo general who was slashing at him with a sharp knife, the general immediately became murderous.The general also threw the sword over the horse, and the head of the Tubo general fell to the ground.Therefore, the matter is just as coincidental as it is arranged in the legendary novel. It is not wrong to say that the general killed the Tubo general and the Tubo general killed the general at the same time.During this period, the difference is that the Tubo general grabbed the general's head and immediately fell off his horse, while the general lost his head, but he still died.The general's will is so strong, the general is thinking about going back to the village, why did he think that his head would be cut off?So after the general killed the Tubo general, he touched Victory's head from the ground, and ran towards the town, still holding his magnificent Dawan horse.

The fierce battle has lasted for more than two hours, but there is still no victory or defeat. People in the town are still hiding in their houses and dare not come out.The headless General Hua got on his horse and carried him along the bank of the stream, because he was in the dense forest, and the frontier guards wandering on the other side of the stream did not see him.The general suddenly felt stuffy for some reason, why couldn't he see anything in front of him?I have fought wars before, but I have no such experience.The general felt blood all over his body, so how could he meet that beautiful and gentle girl?Thinking of this, the general thought it was necessary to find a shallow bank to wash in the stream.

The general dismounted on the bank of a beach and approached the stream.The general wondered why the water was so muddy that he couldn't see his own shadow at all?But at this time, the one who was washing the dishes on the water steps on the opposite bank was the girl whom the general was thinking about.She raised her head by chance and saw a headless warrior standing upright on the opposite bank with a human head in her hand. She was startled at first.But she still watched and stopped washing.She saw the general squatting down and groping for the stream, as if he wanted to wash his hands.She couldn't help but laugh:

Hello!Did you lose the battle?The head was also cut off, so what else is there to wash?If you're not going to die soon, what do you want to do?Does the headless ghost still want to be a human being, bah! The general was heartbroken, and he could clearly hear whose accent it was.For a moment, the general remembered the prophecy about the head, and compared to her current indifferent and teasing attitude, the general suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.The general grabbed the space with his bottom hand, and then fell down. At this time, the Tubo man in the general's hand showed a smile.

At the same time, in the distance, the general's head held by the fallen Tubo man was crying. (Recorded from "Novel Monthly", Volume 21, Issue 10, October 10, 1930)
