Chapter 8: Obliteration
This topic is too exciting, and it is even more shocking than the truth that Lin Xiangwan expected to know. Lin Xiangwan was stunned for a long time, and his throat was slightly dry, only to realize that his mouth kept opening and forgot to close it.
"You...... Xu Yunqi, did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong?"
"You heard me right, I killed my wife, I killed it with my own hands. Xu Yunqi's expression was very calm, as if what they were talking about now was just the most ordinary thing, what you had eaten today, or what movie you watched at night.
Lin Xiangwan withdrew his hand and hugged his arm, "I can't accept this kind of thing." Why?"
"I couldn't accept it, but that's how it happened. Xu Yunqi said, "Why don't I continue to talk about it, and when I get to that paragraph, you will naturally understand why." ”
"Where am I talking? Yes, getting married...... Now I always like to say a sentence in TV dramas, we don't understand love when we are young, in fact, I don't think it's right, it's because we are young, so we understand love, and it is precisely because of youth that love is more sincere, and when people are older and have experienced more things, their hearts are not so real, two people are together, and they can't just rely on a passion, they will consider a lot of things, family background, money, and many others. But when you are young, people are so stupid, stupidly in love, and then you can't see anything else. ”
"At that time, Landuo's conditions were much better than mine, at least she grew up in the village, which not only has her family's ancestral house, but also two acres of land, but because she is a girl's family, she has no strength to plant, so she let them be deserted. Actually, she can marry someone much better than me, her brother is just not very good at brains, but he is very well-behaved, he doesn't cause trouble, and he will help the family when he is fine. But Landuo followed me without hesitation, our wedding was still done with the help of the villagers, I didn't even have the money to buy her a decent ring, but she didn't care at all, she said that she fancy me as a person, whether she has money or not, she doesn't care. ”
"Stupid girl, isn't it?" Xu Yunqi said as if talking to himself.
Lin Xiangwan did not answer. Because I don't know what to say.
A figure seemed to come to mind, the plainly dressed, but sweetly smiling Thai girl, surrounded by mountains and mountains, smiling quietly and sweetly at her.
"What happened next?"
"Later, ......" Xu Yunqi mentioned these two words, and his brows began to tighten, this should be the beginning of that unpleasant memory, because such a beginning led to the final tragic ending. "Later, when Lan Duo and I were in the mountains to herb medicine, we found a person under the cliff, that person was seriously injured, I saw that he had a gun pinned to his waist, so I asked Lan Duo not to save him, but Lan Duo said that if the old medicine master didn't save me, there would be no us now, so she insisted on bringing him back to the village. ”
"The man was one of the thorns, and he was wounded by the enemy in the line of duty, so he fell off the cliff, but because there were many thick rattans growing on the cliff, he saved his life. We took him home and helped him heal his wounds, and when he was healed, we asked me if I would like to go back with him to the army. ”
"I know that Landuo actually doesn't want me to go, being a mercenary may make some money, but it's a bloody business, I don't know when I'll die, Landuo doesn't want me to have an accident. But I'm a man, and if I'm a man, I should support my family and let my wife live a hard life every day, which is not what I want to see, so we had a fight, and then I left the house with my bags. ”
It has been nearly three years, and there is no telephone in the small village, let alone the Internet, and the only contact is to ask people to bring letters home, but it will take months to come and go, and the news has become old news. Lan Duo is no longer angry with Xu Yunqi, originally, how can husband and wife have an overnight feud, after the impulse, all that is left is bitter thoughts. Even if it is a letter, it is not possible to send it every day, once a month, the road into the village is not easy to walk, the postman is not happy to come, so it is only up to the people in the village to go out and get the letter.
If you miss it, you'll have to wait for the next one.
Every day when he took the letter, Lan Duo would take his younger brother to guard the entrance of the village stupidly, for fear that he would miss any letter about Xu Yunqi.
For her, the days of waiting are torment, but for Xu Yunqi, every day of life is torment.
From the first time he shot and killed, to the numb ability to break other people's ribs and pierce other people's calves, watching that person howl in a pool of blood without frowning, his heart is like being poured with a layer of hot molten iron, and when the molten iron is cold, it will naturally form a thick hard shell.
He hid Landuo in his heart, in the softest place, and whenever he felt that endless killing and brutality were about to force himself from a man to a beast, he would secretly think of her.
Although his thoughts are painful, it keeps him to the last shred of sanity.
All the way to the fourth year. Xu Yunqi's military assassin received a fat job and went to rob and kill a caravan with the best old pit ice jade.
"The jade brought by the caravan is priceless, if I finish this transaction, I plan to stop doing it, go home with my savings, live a good life with Landuo, raise two children, raise a few chickens, and open up the original deserted land, I think so, I have been very lucky for so many years, I have done so much to sell and buy, and many of my companions in the military thorn are either dead or injured, but I survived, even if I was injured, it was only a minor injury. So I thought something would happen to me this time, but I didn't expect it to go wrong this time. No matter how good luck you are, there will be a time when you run out, and when you run out, all that is left is bad luck. ”
Doom, and nightmares.
"That caravan probably also has a sense of knowledge, so the route taken is very hidden, the Thai-Burmese border is mostly deep mountains and old forests, if a team of people wants to hide in it from being discovered, it is not a difficult thing. We lurked in the woods for nearly three months before we found their clues and caught up with them. ”
"And then there was the slaughter. As in every massacre, although those men had guns, their firepower was like a mantis arm in front of a professional army. We easily killed their bodyguards, and then killed all the merchants who disobeyed. However, in the shootout, there were still a few people running, and those people happened to be the ones with the goods. So after cleaning up the caravan, we began to track down the whereabouts of those people again...... And then ...... Follow the bloodstains in the woods...... I noticed that they were running towards a direction that I knew very well......"
Although he had not returned home for four years, everything about the village was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he immediately recognized the direction in which the merchants fled was the direction of the village, and he immediately thought of the simple villagers in the village, who would definitely take in these merchants, but when the military assassins found them, they would be ruthlessly erased from this world like those merchants.
The military assassin is a mercenary, although the mercenary is also an army, but it does not have the sense of honor and justice of the army, for them, the purpose of existence is to complete the sale, and then collect money. Everything that stands between them and their interests will be removed.
"Those people are very good at tracking, and I knew that they would definitely find the village, so I went to tell the captain the truth, hoping that he would send me back to the village so that I could communicate with the people in the village, and maybe they could hand over the merchants. The captain agreed, so we agreed that I would go back to the village the next day to negotiate. But the next day, when I woke up, I found myself tied to a tree, and my companion was long gone. ”
Lin Xiangwan's heart was pinched fiercely, she seemed to have expected what would happen in the following story, she wanted to block her ears with her hands, but her arms were stiff and she couldn't lift them.
"By the time I broke the rope and ran to the village, it was almost dusk. At this time of year, it is supposed to be the time when every household lights up the cooking smoke, but on that day, the village was very quiet, that is, there was no sound of mothers shouting for their children to come home to eat, and there was no green smoke floating from the rooftops. ”
He walked slowly into the village, the small village that had been full of life had become eeriely silent at the moment.
He walked along the only main road paved with bluestone slabs in the village towards the threshing floor in the middle of the village, and the closer he got to the threshing floor, the stronger the smell of blood in the air.
He continued to walk, and continued to walk, until the thick blood and the scene like the Shura field unfolded before his eyes.
He saw that all the people of the village, young and old, were present. Usually, if they gather in the threshing floor like this, it must be because there is something happy in the village, or when it is time for the summer festival, a high bonfire will be built in the barn, and everyone will sing and dance around the bonfire.
But today, there is no bonfire, no joy, only death coming with a scythe.
No one survived, a small village, more than 20 families, 60 people, no one survived.
He saw the familiar old faces of the village, their bodies covered with one or several holes, he knew the holes, which were the marks left by cannons of caliber of more than 20 millimeters, this weapon of mass destruction, which could knock down unarmed people like chopping melons and vegetables, and the power of the bullets would not stop until they had passed through several bodies.
Randot's silly brother slumped crookedly on top of something, his body twitching, blood soaking the ground beneath him black and purple.
He stepped forward, moved him away, and saw Randot.
His little wife, the bullet pierced her neck, her trachea, and her arteries, and the plasma shot out like a fountain, but she was not dead, she saw Xu Yunqi, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face.
