Chapter Forty-Six: The Excuse for Cowardice
When the wolf arrived at the ancestral hall, these people were loading the carts, and the young and vigorous male villagers carried bags of grain, vegetables and fruits on horseback and tied them to the horses. Helian Xiaojiang, who was unconscious, was dragged by four people and was stuffed into a big carriage.
Under the rage, the blue wolf was as cold as the ice release knife in his hand.
The anger in his heart rose at the same time as the internal force also rose, his dark green eyes were dyed inky black, and every step he took left deep footprints on the ground. The coercion unleashed by the high-ranking ones suppressed everyone present. The villagers fell first, and the thieves grabbed their weapons alertly but found that they couldn't move at all. The No. 1 Hunter in Kyushu was furious, and the place where the Ice Release Knife reached was a blur of flesh and blood.
The thieves were so vulnerable that they didn't even have time to scream and let out all the light of death, including the big brother of the ringleader. The eldest brother was sitting in the carriage with his stomach covered, and Helian Xiaojiang was lying next to him who was unconscious. The first time I raised my eyes and saw the blue wolf, I knew that something was wrong, and I messed with someone I shouldn't have provoked. But it's too late to regret it, and it doesn't have time to react at all.
There are people outside the world, and the eldest brother knows his own pounds and the little brother around him. Knowing that you can bully some people, you know that you can't fight against people who are higher than them. So the remote place he chose bullied the weak. But I never thought that there would suddenly be such a powerful person in my territory. He couldn't regret it, so he went down to the underworld.
The angry blue wolf involved several innocent villagers, but if you dig into whether they are innocent or not, they may not be so innocent.
The entrance of the ancestral hall was full of blood, and the sunset was still red.
About five years ago, the eldest brother came to the village with heavily armed men, and without saying a word, he killed the entire family of the former village chief, shocked the villagers with naked violence and blood, and set up rules. Then, year after year, the thieves came to the village again to collect protection money, and although their numbers were getting smaller and smaller, the villagers still had no idea of resisting.
Just like this time, the eldest brother brought about a dozen people, and there were about fifty adult men in this small village alone. With such a high proportion and such an advantageous situation, no one wants to fight back. The villagers just trembled and endured it, offering the fruits of their hard work and even their own daughters.
It is also a sin to be weak to a certain extent.
Just when the village chief thought that all of them were going to be affected and become the souls of the sword, the blue wolf collected his murderous aura and put away the knife. He pushed away the corpse of the "big brother" who fell next to him, picked up the unconscious Helian Xiaojiang, ignored the others around him and turned to leave.
"I'm sorry," the village chief whispered behind him, "but there's no way around it...... We are in a situation where we do not have a choice. ”
The village chief didn't know why he had to explain it to the blue wolf. Explain to the wolf why they did what they did, and explain the plight the village faced. Explain that pushing Helian Xiaojiang out is a last resort. Explain that they are not bad people.
They're not bad guys......
The blue wolf stood with his back to them. The village chief plucked up the courage to continue to explain the words carefully, trying not to provoke the other party, and the next moment he raised a knife and killed them all.
"She, Helian Xiaojiang, has entered our village. She is part of this big family. We are sincerely good to her, helping each other, loving and helping each other, so that she can enjoy the warmth of the family. These are from the bottom of my heart. So on the contrary, when the family encounters difficulties and needs the people in the family to sacrifice, she should also sacrifice herself. It's a reciprocal relationship. We are not your blue wolves, we are just a group of ordinary farmers who face the loess and work honestly with their backs to the sky. In the face of such oppression, we have no other way but to endure it. ”
This is also the reason why there are almost no elderly people in the village, and in order to ensure that there is enough "protection money" every quarter, these elderly people who have lost their ability to work are willing to "sacrifice themselves". The few remaining are the more respected ones in the village. These things are never brought to the table, and the people in the village rarely talk about them, perhaps because they are too sad or because they are too guilty.
A strong smell of blood lingered over the village, and the women who had hidden in their houses stepped out of the house, standing under the thatched eaves and craned their necks to watch nervously. Some of the girls in the ancestral hall fainted in fright.
The blue wolf didn't speak, didn't even look back.
At this time, a black shadow at the entrance of the village moved to this side like a whirlwind, and walked into the mount Qiji. Its strong four hooves landed on the ground with a loud sound, and Qi Ji ran to the blue wolf and stopped, stretched out his head and rubbed the blue wolf and Helian Xiaojiang in his arms. The blue wolf hugged Helian Xiaojiang up, and jumped on Qiji himself.
Before leaving, he left behind a sentence: "A family, a man is the backbone and the pillar." The elderly, the children, and the wives will depend on you. And you allow outsiders to trample on your home and bully your family. also made excuses for his cowardice, and even passed on his cowardly character to his children and grandchildren. Such families are doomed to perish. I said, you men might as well find a place to clean yourself up and don't drag down your family. ”
Helian Xiaojiang was woken up, and in a haze, he felt that the whole person was constantly tossing up and down, much more violent than the gentle shaking that he had used to take a small boat on the lake.
The body wakes up before the brain. When she opened her eyes, the leaves on both sides and the clouds in the sky were moving rapidly backwards, and the stomach acid in her stomach rose and fell. Dizziness and nausea hit her head at the same time, and she twisted her head and poked out her mouth to open her mouth to "wow" and vomited. The blue wolf hurriedly grabbed Helian Xiaojiang's waist to prevent him from sliding off the horse.
Finding a series of movements of the two people on his back, although there was no instruction from his master, Qi Ji took the initiative to stop running. Standing under a small sapling and kicking his legs, his expression was very innocent. Helian Xiaojiang stumbled and jumped off Qiji's back, and as soon as his feet landed, he covered his mouth and trotted into the bushes, bending down and spitting out "wow". She was in a state of collapse while throwing up, and she did her best to make him feel comfortable while he was unconscious. Now it's better to do the other way around, and she is still bumpy on Qiji's back.
It's all upside down.
When the remnants of his stomach were vomited clean, Helian Xiaojiang wiped his face and walked out of the bushes, and saw the blue wolf and Qi Ji standing together, with almost synchronous innocent expressions on their faces.
"Forget it, next time I have trouble in a coma, just put me on the ground, don't rush on the back of the throwing Qiji. I can't bear it. ”
They were now quite far from the village, surrounded by sparse grass and low trees. But because of the rain for several days, the heavens and the earth were completely washed.
The air was unusually light and translucent, the leaves and grass were green, and the sky was a clear blue.
