Chapter 69: The Strict Commandments
As for what Ge Hu was going to say next, Wu Zhizai had already guessed that the murderer was not Ge Changgui.
"You may not know, but in fact, after we wolf spirits come to the city, we are not allowed to kill people. If anyone kills someone, even if they are safe and sound, they will return to the clan, and they will be enforced by the clan law, and one life will be exchanged for one life. ”
Wu Zhizai was surprised, in such a world, it was unthinkable that there was a group that was hunted down and killed to keep such a precept. The Qiyang Dynasty also had such a law, but this law was used to bind the poor. If a rich person kills someone, with their connections and financial resources, it can be solved in minutes.
Ge Hu continued: "Whether it is the son of the patriarch, or the son of the elder, or whether it is an ordinary clansman. If you kill someone, you will most likely pay for a life. ”
"Why? When the spirits of nature saw you, they were going to kill you indiscriminately, and you still uphold such morals. If those people want to kill you, won't you defend yourselves? Will you also pay for your life if you defend yourself?"
Ge Hu said: "Not necessarily, we will all go to the city to find out." We are doing this to protect our wolf spirits. It's very simple, if we go to the city and kill someone. At first, one or two didn't matter, but after a long time, more and more people would be killed by the wolf spirits. The people are afraid in their hearts, so the court will not let it go, in order to calm the people's hearts, the court will definitely send troops out to kill our wolf spirits. When the time comes, even if we hide in the forest, it won't help. ”
Wu Zhizai said: "But when the natural spirit sees you, they will still kill you, isn't this result the same?"
Ge Hu shook his head, "It's different. If we don't kill them, their lives won't be threatened, and naturally they won't come to encircle us. Moreover, the people and the court have other things to do on a daily basis, as long as we do not provoke them, they will not send a large army to encircle us, at most some brave hunters will take risks to hunt us. The people and the court knew that instead of coming to encircle and suppress us, it was better to do what they should do. We are the same, instead of provoking the spirits of nature, we should live our own lives. ”
"You steal so often, won't they be angry with you?"
Ge Hu asked rhetorically, "Do you think some herbs are valuable, or are human lives valuable?"
Wu Zhizai replied without thinking about it, "Nature is human life." ”
"That's it, just stealing something, although the pharmacy keeper will be angry. But afterwards they will admit that they are unlucky, and they will feel lucky. Glad we were just here to steal and not hurt their lives. So, we stole things from the people in the city, and the people in the city saw it except for the anger at the beginning. ”
Wu Zhizai asked, "Then how do you know if your people killed people when they went to the city?
Ge Hu said: "We will have a special person to investigate the situation in the city, in order to avoid someone covering favoritism, the patriarch sent two different groups of people to investigate the situation." The so-called group is a small family. Like your clan, there are many people in one surname. ”
Wu Zhizai said: "I understand this. But if you go to the city to check the news, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the people in the city?"
"We take advantage of the darkness of the night to stealthily and, in general, few people can spot us. ”
Wu Zhizai asked, "You live in the forest, and the hunters go up to the mountains to hunt in the world, aren't you afraid that they will find you?"
Ge Hu shook his head, "Our camp is patrolled every day, and around the camp, we have also made a cover-up, so we can't enter it at all. Even if they do, then they can only blame the bad luck of those hunters. ”
Katsugo made a neck-slitting motion and had to kill someone in order to survive. Because if they don't kill them, then the hunters will bring the news out, and then the wolf spirit clan will be in danger.
Wu Zhizai remembered that Su Xiaowen also said this before, in order to survive, the people of the Dharma Protector Temple must be killed.
It's normal in this world, the strong are respected, the weak eat the strong, and people only follow the laws of nature.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and it was dark and silent outside. Wu Zhizai didn't dare to speak loudly, Ge Hu was a wolf spirit, and he had long formed the habit of speaking in a low voice. There was Su Xiaowen watching outside, and Wu Zhizai thought that it was impossible for the female boss and the shopkeeper to hear it.
Wu Zhizai listened to Ge Hu talk about the wolf spirit, and the more he listened, the more energetic he became, and he didn't want to sleep at all.
"What happened later? I guess it was definitely not Ge Changgui who killed the scholar's family?"
Ge Hu said: "After we heard that the scholars in the city were alive and dead, the patriarch ordered Ge Changgui to be arrested. At the same time, they sent people into the city to investigate what was really going on.
"After the clansmen entered the city, they went to Yizhuang to inspect the corpses of the scholar's family. It was found that most of the wounds on their bodies were wounded by sharp blades, and in the situation at that time, Ge Changgui was injured and full of escape, and it was impossible to have extra time to kill. And when we wolf spirits become wolves, we have a natural advantage, and we don't need to use sharp blades to kill people in one fell swoop. ”
Although Wu Zhizai decided that Ge Changgui would not kill, he still had some doubts, "Is it possible that he was full of hatred for the scholar's family and deliberately killed them all with a sharp blade, creating this illusion so that the clansmen would not suspect him." ”
Ge Hu nodded, "The clansmen also took this into account at the time. Combined with the knife wounds of everyone in the scholar's mansion, as well as the traces of the woman's lower body being defiled, the clansmen believed that it was committed by bandits. went to the government to investigate, and it was said that the official was held hostage. It turned out that the government had long known that this was the so-called thief, but they couldn't catch the bandits, and they knew that the scholar had imprisoned a wolf spirit, so they planted all this on the wolf spirit. ”
"What about the bandits, and what happened in the end?"
Ge Go's voice was cold and hateful, even though this story was two hundred years ago, but now that he thought about it, he still hated it in his heart.
"When the bandits left the city, they hid in the forest, and like us, they were easy to hide and difficult to trace. The forest is our territory, and the people soon discovered them. Our people asked the scholar family if they had killed him, and they admitted that they had done it. In the end, our clan killed all the bandits, and whoever told them to let us take the blame can be regarded as avenging the scholar's family. ”
Wu Zhizai never imagined that the ending would be like this. He was glad that in that matter, the wolf spirit Ge Chang was still alive, alive to return to his own people.
After that incident, although the wolf spirit was charged with one more crime. But it is a happy ending, which confirms the saying, evil is rewarded.
The scholar imprisoned Ge Changgui and wanted his skin, but after Ge Changgui escaped, the family was killed and plundered by bandits. The heavens have eyes and see all this. Therefore, this kind of thing that happened to the scholar's family is also the best arrangement of God. After Ge Changgui escaped, the robbers killed the scholar's family and robbed the scholar's family of property. And the bandits were in the forest, and they were killed by the wolf spirits. Invisibly, while avenging the scholar's family, the wolf spirit clan also did a good deed. When the bandits died, they could no longer harm anyone else.
Wu Zhizai poured a glass of water from the tea table and fed Ge Hu to drink. After Ge Hu told this story, he felt that his relationship with Ge Hu had become closer, but he still didn't dare to let go of Ge Go. The book said that the wolf spirit was cunning and treacherous, although Wu Zhizai sneered a few times when he saw this word at that time, saying that the wolf spirit was cunning and treacherous, as if the natural spirit was a little white rabbit with a pure and harmless character.
But when it comes to the real face of the wolf spirit, the heart of defense cannot be relaxed at all.
Fortunately, Ge Hu didn't ask him to let him go. If Ge Hu opened his mouth and let him go, Wu Zhizai was afraid that he would be soft-hearted and let Ge Hu go.
Wu Zhizai's small body still can't withstand the biological clock of nature after all. An Youming whispered: "Wu Zhizai, if you are tired, go to sleep." This wolf spirit, I'll help you watch, don't worry. ”
