Chapter X
After reading the number, there was no movement from the captives below, and none of them walked out of the ranks.
Qiu Shi looked at the soldiers on the side and said, "Take the booklet, go down and arrest me." ”
"Yes," said the soldier, who ran towards the captive line with several other soldiers.
"Please, it's not me, it's not me, I'm not running away, please don't catch me......" a shout.
"Don't catch me, I'm capable, I'm very capable, I can dig ten carts a day, no, no, no, I can dig twenty carts, I can dig ...... at night without resting" another shout.
"My day your grandmother, you group of black-skinned dogs, this group of brutes, you wait, one day our warriors on the grassland will definitely avenge us and kill all your brutes......" This man was a little bloody, did not beg for mercy, and scolded this group of soldiers.
The ranks of the captives resounded with shouts and begs for mercy and curses. All those who read the number were escorted to the feet of the Qiu Stone at the front.
Qiu Shi looked at the captives with wide eyes, holding a scimitar in his hand, and a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, one of the captives kneeling on the ground cried out, "You are mistaken, you are mistaken, I am number twenty-four, I am number twenty-four, there should be me, there should not be me, there is one more number." I am wronged, I am wronged. ”
Hearing this, all the captives looked up at the kneeling man in front of them, and there was indeed one more. Qiu Shi also glanced at the number with his gaze, and when he noticed that there was one more person, his eyes stopped on the soldier holding the booklet. The soldier hurriedly lowered his head. Qiu Shi turned to the captive and said loudly, "Lao Tzu can kill as many as he wants, I don't see more or less, just right." Someone, first straighten this crying one for me, and just use him to feed my knife. ”
With that, several soldiers rushed forward and tied the captive to the head, hands and feet with ropes, and the five men pulled hard in five directions. The captive was pulled into the air, and his neck was stretched to the point of suffocation.
Just when the captive was about to suffocate and not suffocate, Qiu Shi took an arrow step, and at the same time took out a scimitar with one hand and raised it above his head, at this time he held the handle of the knife with both hands and raised it to the highest, and the whole person was like a bow at this time, this process took less than a second, and the knife fell in an instant, and the waist was cut off. The five men who were tightening the rope suddenly lost their center of gravity and fell backwards, and the crowd gasped and roared. Everyone around them was splattered with blood, and some of the captives kneeling beside them fainted in fright.
Qiu Shi took the towel and wiped the blood on his face, laughed and turned to leave, leaving a few words "Kill them all!"
Then this bloody and brutal scene both shocked and irritated all the captives. Huai'an watched all this happen with tears on his face, and the seeds of hatred planted deeper and deeper. Back at the wooden house, Huai'an was still deeply trapped in what had just happened and couldn't extricate himself, but in just a few hours, it seemed like many years had passed in Huai'an's heart, and Huai'an's mind was also rapidly transforming in this hellish torture.
At night, Huai'an could neither fall asleep nor settle down to enter the cultivation state. The scene of blood flowing all over the ground during the day reminded Huai'an of the scene when A-Niang was killed, and that scene always lurked in Huai'an's heart, bringing great fear and pain to Huai'an. Every night when I fall asleep, the scene of A-Niang's killing in my dream will be clearly reproduced, so since Huai'an found out that he could practice without sleeping, Huai'an has been practicing every night. When Huai'an was just able to get out of his fear and pain, what happened today aroused the long-hidden demon in Huai'an's heart. Huai'an hugged his knees and sat curled up on the bed. The chest was tightly held by the big hand of grief, and the pain swept through the body. Tears come out from time to time, and all night is like this, sleepless.
On the second day, Huai'an saw the old man with a pipe, and a stream of heat welled up in his heart, and his eyes were red and moist.
The old man with a pipe saw that Huai'an's eyes were red and swollen, and his eyes were full of exhaustion, as if he understood something, so he asked Huai'an to sit down first and said, "If there is anything on your mind to talk to your father-in-law." ”
Huai'an hugged the pipe, and the old man cried bitterly, "I miss A-Niang, I miss A-Niang...... I think A-Niang ......" Huai'an couldn't cry silently, and kept shouting the same sentence in his mouth.
The old man with the pipe didn't know what to say, so he could only hug Huai'an tightly and let Huai'an cry loudly.
I don't know how long I cried, Huai'an fainted, and the old man knew that it was because of excessive grief and that his body was too overdrawn. He helped Huai'an to the ground, fed Huai'an some water, and covered Huai'an with his own clothes. Then he closed his eyes and sat on the side and entered the cultivation state.
Huai'an woke up in the afternoon, at this time Huai'an felt all the fatigue in his body, the exhaustion was swept away, and at the same time he felt that his lower abdomen was hot, which turned out to be the vitality that the old man of the pipe gave to Huai'an after Huai'an fell asleep.
Although his body had recovered, he still felt a faint pain in his heart, and the old man with a pipe looked at Huai'an and said, "Don't practice these days, let's rest and rest." With that, the old man of the pipe walked out with Huai'an.
In the past few days without cultivation, Huai'an's spirit has been in a trance, and he repeats it mechanically like a walking corpse. A person's words broke Huai'an's trance.
While Huai'an was repeating the movements in his hand like a machine, a black and strong man came to the side, this man named Shi Tao, with dark skin and thick arms. Shi Tao walked to Huai'an's side and whispered, "Didn't you go to cultivate your abilities today?"
Hearing this, Huai An was stunned, "God knows about following my father-in-law's cultivation ability, except for me and my father-in-law, there is no third person who knows, and my father-in-law will not casually tell others such an important thing, how does this person know? Or is he testing me?"
"What ability?" asked Huai'an, a little nervous.
"Hehe, I know everything, don't hide it. Shi Tao said in a low voice.
"Mining every day, what is there to hide. Huai'an quickened the movement in his hand.
"Oh, what are you doing all afternoon?"
"I finished digging in the morning, and I went to find a place to rest in the afternoon, what do you care about me. ”
"It's not an easy place for you to rest. Shi Tao said with a sly smile.
"If you have nothing to do, go and rest, don't disturb my work. Huai'an said impatiently.
"It seems that you have a hard mouth, I have been observing you for a long time, and others are not in a hurry to finish the work, but you are rushing to finish it in the morning, and you are missing in the afternoon. I've followed you many times, and every time I walk to a place, you suddenly disappear, at first I thought I was lost, but then I figured out that there should be an energy barrier in that place, not for ordinary people like me to enter. This kind of thing must be done by people with special abilities, and I'm going to report you now. Saying that, Shi Tao turned around and was about to walk out of the cave.
