Chapter 185: The Orphan Girl Counterattacks Bo Qinglang (3)
July naturally knew what was going on, but she didn't say much, just quietly followed the two of them and hid in the grass.
Mother Xu and Sister Xu Gui were lying in the grass, and the more they listened to the sound in the distance, the more they trembled, and they also knew in their hearts that the people in the village must be more than lucky, and they couldn't help but cluck their frightened teeth against each other, and they had no time to pay attention to the situation in July, but they just watched the fire in the distance, and their hearts were terrified.
The fire burned for a day and was later extinguished by a rain. But after the rain stopped, Xu Mu did not dare to approach the village, for fear that there would be bandits who had not left and killed her. But she was thinking about her own things again, and at this time she finally remembered that July, who had been forgotten by her because of her fear, came, and even yelled and scolded July to go into the village to check.
July did not argue, and without saying a word, he walked towards the village in the distance, where the fire had been extinguished.
The village was burned like this, naturally there could be no bandits, and the village was very messy after the fire, and there were many black logs that were still smoking in it. The reason why July was willing to come was because yesterday she heard from Xu's mother that she was going to the mountains, so she stole a lot of silver from a big family in the village at night, and what made July happy was that there was also a silver ticket for one white tael. In the past, such a large amount of money would have been searched, but now the whole village has been slaughtered, and no one knows about the money stolen in July.
July of the silver ticket was brought with him, but the silver July was buried under the stone mill in the center of the threshing floor in the village.
July walked cautiously in the short direction of the threshing floor, keeping an eye out for any burning pillars that would fall.
The village is not big. It didn't take long for July to arrive at the threshing floor. Seeing the scene of the threshing floor, even July was well-informed, but the tragic scene in front of him still surprised July. Hundreds of corpses lay on the open ground of the threshing floor. The deaths were all very miserable, and because of the burning of the fire, some of the corpses were so affected that they were already charred. July thinks that the reason why so many people are here may be because the bandits gathered all the villagers here and killed them together.
July could only endure the discomfort and step on the corpse towards the millstone, and the stumps under his feet were everywhere, as if he had returned to the end times.
Because of the mediocrity of the imperial court now, such bandits have appeared everywhere. Although they are under the banner of an uprising, they dare to attack the county seat on a large scale, but this kind of guy can only attack some remote villages. Said to be a rebel army. But it's not a word at all, it's just a nice name. They were afraid that their deeds would be spread out, so they would slaughter the village after each robbery. Although the government always talks about purging down, it is only thunder and rain. The oil and water that can be fished are cleaned. When the time comes, it's just a show.
July dug hard for a while in the place in his memory, and finally dug up a dozen taels of silver that he had hidden in the soil. These silver and the silver ticket in July's arms are nothing in the prosperous place outside, but in this place where the ordinary farmer has never even seen the silver, it is the savings of the rich family.
July put the money away, retreated back the way he came, and when he went out, he saw the mother and daughter who were anxiously looking towards the village.
Naturally, they were not worried about July, but they were eager to know the situation in the village, and they were lucky in their hearts, hoping that the place they saw was such an unbearable scene. And the village is still intact. Or if there are some villagers alive, everyone will also take care of them.
I saw July come out unhurriedly. Mother Xu's eyebrows rose, and she scolded, "I went for so long, I thought you died inside, you can eat everything and grab it, let you do some work until you are tight, I really owe you this lazy tendon." ”
Mother Xu scolded incomprehensibly, picked up a branch on the ground to save July and pulled it over, but she didn't expect July not to suffer as before, but grabbed the branch, changed her previous low-eyed appearance, and sneered at the corner of her mouth, directly grabbed the branch, and hit Xu's mother in the face.
Mother Xu really didn't expect that the woman in front of her, who had always been submissive, suddenly fought back, and she was defenseless, and the branch was pumped in her face, and Mother Xu said "oops" in pain, and then scolded, "You are crazy, even your mother-in-law dares to beat, see that I don't look for the patriarch to tie up your little prostitute." ”
"If you dare to beat my mother, I will fight with you. Sister Xu Gui was also stunned by July's return hand, but then she was shocked by Xu's mother's scolding, and a hand also scratched towards July.
During this period of July, she was very aggrieved, and now her health is basically better, and she will practice martial arts when she finds time, although she still can't practice anything, but her body is also much stronger, and it is more than enough to fight the two of them.
July picked up her skirt and kicked it on Sister Xu Gui's stomach, and Sister Xu Gui fell backwards with a sigh. He reached out again and grabbed Xu's mother's hair, and fell sideways and threw it next to Sister Xu Gui. Seeing the two of them plopping together, they were originally dumb, but now they can't get up after struggling for a long time, they can't help but feel good, clapping their hands and laughing and saying, "Are you looking for the group of dead ghosts in the village to get me?" ”
July's appearance was too relaxed, not at all like the appearance of a dead person who had just been seen, let alone seen one by one. Mother Xu felt that July was just scaring them, she didn't believe what she said at all, and scolded in her mouth, but the lesson just now made her dare not do it, so she made up her mind to go to the village to find someone to get July, her son will be a big official in the future, and the people in the village have all flattered her in recent years.
She finally got up, jumped to her feet and pointed at July and scolded, "You little slut, dare to beat and scold your mother-in-law, just wait to be sunk in the pond." I don't know where the truth came from, didn't your dead ghost father teach you? The white-eyed wolf who killed a thousand knives, if it wasn't for our family to take you in, you would have sold broken shoes in the kiln a long time ago, and now you are playing tricks with the old lady, you wait for the old lady, I can't clean you up, someone has cleaned you up. ”
Sister Xu Gui has always been a bully and afraid of the hard, she was beaten just now, and now she doesn't dare to say much, she just gritted her teeth and looked at July, and saw that July led the branch to walk a few steps towards them, and suddenly pulled Xu's mother in fright and ran in the direction of the village, and the July laughed when she saw it.
July is in a good mood now, and most of the sullen air that has been oppressed by these two people has been stretched out during this time. I didn't eat for a day yesterday, and I just worked hard for half a day, and I felt that the hunger in my stomach was unbearable, and the newly beaten food in the village had been robbed, and even the leftovers had been burned. July thought that there were still some walnuts in the box, so he carried the basket on his back and headed for a ruined temple not too far from the village.
