Chapter 171: The Grace of a Meal and a Thousand Knives (5)
With a bang, Jiang Li violently broke free from the restraints and swept away the steel knives and clubs in front of him.
However, a flick of a finger, a long-planned stick, in order to prevent him from making any senseless resistance, once again launched a flanking attack from all sides, but in an instant it spread out like raindrops.
As he turned around, his worried eyes flew to the white bait again.
I saw an eyeless club, like a python quietly passing through her waist, striking hard behind her, I don't know if it was the unknown that caught her off guard, so that she didn't have time to guard, or she had no intention of resisting at all, her weak body was beaten to a sudden whirlwind, like a floating falling flower, in the air near the ground, fluttering up.
The wooden hairpin couldn't be restrained, and the three thousand green silks scattered in an instant, covering her pale face, and her weak body finally couldn't support it, and fell to the ground, like the wind sweeping the stump branches, startling the dust all over the ground.
Several refugees with sticks surrounded her, trying to step forward and restrain her.
"Don't touch herβ"
He had a hideous face, and suddenly let out a roar, and the cold west wind blew in gusts, blowing everyone's heart lake to a crumpled color, and every ripple born for this had a loud name, called panic.
Several refugees held the sticks in their hands, their movements were a little stiff, and their faces were full of nervousness, only to see that the green silk pressing on her body spread out like a waterfall, she slowly stood up, and stood up persistently in the eyes of everyone.
The people around her avoided her, fearing that in the next moment, this long-haired bewitching woman would do something unexpected.
She walked in silence, and no one knew what she wanted to do.
Unexpectedly, her footsteps suddenly stopped in front of a blind eldest sister.
This eldest sister who is on crutches, she said that when she was in Wuyi Lane before, everyone used to call her Mrs. Ma, because she was the wife of General Ma Ying Longma in Julong City, she originally had a delicate face, but there was a long scar on the side of her face at this time.
When she first met her, she said that she came by smelling the fragrance, and she also said that she had not smelled such an attractive fragrance for a long time, which reminded her of the special dish she must make every year on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in Mafu.
She remembered that her husband had once told her that on Chinese New Year's Eve, if there was no such hot hoof on the table that she had made herself, it would not be called Chinese New Year's Eve.
After tasting the wolf meat that she fed into her mouth, the corners of her mouth slowly drew a touching arc, and she couldn't help but praise it, she smiled so beautifully.
If she didn't have that scar, she would be a beauty in the city!
To her surprise, she said that the scar was drawn by herself with a hairpin.
She was puzzled, and then listened to her explain why.
She said that when Qin Huai was in turmoil, his husband was killed by the enemy during the defense of the city.
The husband did not return for three days and three nights, and she risked her death to go into the city to look for it, and she was bound to see people in life and corpses in death.
Indeed, on the way, she inquired about her husband's death, and when she was heartbroken, she was unfortunately targeted by several Mocang officers, who dragged her under the city wall, and tried to ravage her.
But she is a weak woman, how can she fight the evil wolf.
The short knife stabbed an officer in the kidney, the officer was furious, drew a scimitar, and hit her hard, and in the process of resisting, she was blinded by the scimitar, which forced the wind man back and kept her chastity.
In order not to let her face threaten her, she immediately pulled out the hairpin on her bun, cut the face of the city, and since then she has been crawling in the dark, relying on a cane, to hold on to the present.
After hearing what happened to her, her eyes were already wet with tears, but she smiled hard, and praised her roasted wolf meat, which she loved and thanked very much, and allowed her to relive the taste of home again.
When she saw Mrs. Ma again, her eyes were still beautiful, although they had lost their light.
"Mrs. Ma."
She stood in front of her, screaming softly, a smile on her lips and a warm light in her eyes.
Hearing a familiar voice, Sister Ma stretched out a hand and groped in front of her.
Bai Bait immediately shook her hand, "Mrs. Ma." β
Her hands were still so warm, just like her sister-in-law's.
Sister Ma suddenly shrank her hand, and her voice couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.
"I said, don't call me Madame."
She forgot again, this sentence, she had reminded her yesterday, because everything was gone, and she was no longer Madame Madame.
She nodded, sobbing into a smile, "Look, I forgot again, Sister Ma." β
"Don't call me Sister Ma too!"
Bai Bait's heart trembled, and a hint of gloom suddenly flashed in his smiling eyes.
She suddenly noticed that Sister Ma's face became very serious.
In fact, her face has never changed, it was she who understood too late.
Just as she was about to ask the reason, a shocking slap suddenly swept on her face, and a few strands of hair suddenly flew up, covering the shocking picture.
At that moment, whether it was the memory of Mrs. Ma or Sister Ma, it instantly condensed into ice cubes in her brain, and then with a "poof", it fell to the bottom of her heart and shattered!
When that face came into everyone's sight again, a cold smile gently scratched the corners of her mouth, a little crazy......
She propped herself up and walked on her own.
If the slap full of resentment brought her pain when it fell without warning, then after this slap, what brought her was cold, the coldness that invaded her whole body.
At this time, in front of her, there was a girl.
The girl wore two pigtails, which was strangely cute, but her two round faces were red from the cold.
She remembers that the girl was the second refugee to come and ask for wolf meat.
The girl did not have much impression on her, but the deepest impression was that the girl was a little introverted and spoke very little. But one thing she always remembers deeply is.
"Sister, can I ask for an extra piece of wolf meat, today is my mother's birthday, I want to hold the wolf meat to celebrate her birthday."
As her gentle eyes looked down at the face, her small body was suddenly pulled back by the person behind her.
Still, she wouldn't blame her, because she knew that the eyes of everyone around her were cold, but her eyes were full of sincerity and no fear.
She smiled at her and asked, "Little sister, do you believe in my sister?" β
Soon, the person behind her pulled her and reminded: "Xiaojin, she is a harmful spirit!" Don't believe her! β
Bai Bait's eyes widened, and his two fists clenched. 020 reading
After a while, he buried his head and yelled hysterically: "Shut up-"
Frightened by this sudden move, the person next to him hurriedly avoided his eyes, and his mouth was closed tightly, like an ant.
She straightened out the green silk that covered her eyes, and when she looked up at the girl again, her face was full of calm. She mustered up her courage, smiled faintly, and asked like the sun reflecting on the water.
"Xiaojin, tell my sister that you believe my sister, right?"
The girl stared at her for a long time, but her eyes were as clear as water.
After a long time, he finally spoke: "You go awayββ, it hurts people!" β
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, those eyes were filled with horror, and it was like she had a nightmare, waking up in the middle of the night, crying and shouting to find her mother.
And she is the monster who pushed her down the well in that nightmare.
No one knows how a child who is less than five years old feels when she says those three words to her.
Oh, how could those people possibly know?
In their hearts, there was only endless laughter.
When he got up again, his heart, which was originally full of holes, was now shattered.
The cold wind kept ruffling her long hair, and her vision began to blur.
It is no longer difficult for her to see others, just as others cannot see herself clearly.
In short, that pale face is lonelier than the frost and snow of thousands of years of glazed tiles.
When everyone's conscience is extinguished by the selfish desires in their hearts, a child less than five years old, her heart is still pure, no matter how big the disaster, she can't destroy that clean and pure heart.
She thought so, but only what she thought......
White Bait didn't go any further, and apparently, she had already got the answer.
Go back, it's time to go back.
Go back to fight side by side with Jiangli, and go back to have a head-to-head confrontation with the annihilated conscience.
Just as she was about to return the way she came, someone suddenly stopped her behind her.
"Girlβ"
She stopped and closed her eyes, at this moment, she could accept any abuse and reprimand, but she never wanted to see the faces that were even more hideous because of this.
A broken heart doesn't hurt.
"They don't believe you, but the old woman does!"
She could hardly believe what she was hearing was true!
"You are a bodhisattva of great compassion and compassion to save the suffering, not some kind of harmful spirit, don't listen to those wolf-hearted things and chew the root of your tongue!"
Less than five paces behind her, the old but powerful voice sounded again and again, and Bai Bait's whole body trembled, and tears couldn't stop sliding down.
"How much saliva is sprayed on my old woman, my old woman is not afraid of you!"
The old woman said excitedly against the cane.
No one dared to speak, silence, deathly silence.
Bai Bait still couldn't hold back after all, he quickly turned his head, and looked at the old woman's every expression when she was excited with tears in her eyes, only feeling that there was a yellow lotus in her mouth, and it was unspeakably painful. She gritted her teeth and nodded her head hard, and answered in a lost voice: "Good ......"
Tears fell heavily on the snow, leaving deep traces.
The old woman, who was close to the age of six, was the last refugee to come and beg for wolf meat.
She asked her why she came so late, and she said that she didn't like to eat fatty meat, which was left for the other refugees, and she only ate the leftovers, the bones, and she liked to eat the leftovers.
She only sighed, and the rest was cold. So, I had the heart to help her make a fire and heat it up.
But the old woman immediately took her hand and said lightly, "Don't bother, cold is always better than hot!" β
Let those pictures wet with tears, and those beautiful memories, stay in your mind for the time being, and then remember them for a lifetime.
She turned around and set out on the way back again, her whole body cold, as if there were signs of melting.
"White baitβ"
Jiang Li rushed up and grabbed her hand, and when he looked at her, his eyes were red, as if he had been pricked by a needle, "white bait......"
She smiled and shook her head at him, her face quickly calming down.
The strong man glanced at the two of them coldly, and stepped forward to ask Elder Tang: "Elder Tang, the treasure temple is the biggest sufferer in this serial case, and the final result, I'm afraid, still needs to be decided by you!" β
After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "All the blessings and misfortunes of the big guy depend on you!" β
Seeing what Elder Tang wanted to say, Elder Sun immediately said worriedly, "Elder Tang, I think this matter is not trivial, it has reached the point where it is difficult for you and me to control. Instead, ask the abbot! β
His cautious gaze lifted, and his face revealed a hint of helplessness.
Elder Tang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered something, and said lightly: "It has been two days since the abbot went down the mountain to help the refugees, and he has not yet returned. At this time, where to find it? The tone was full of concern.
"Wouldn't it? I think I've seen him earlier! Elder Sun's eyes showed a little surprise, and he immediately called the little monk beside him, "Quick, go quickly, look for it in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, and tell him if you find it, Elder Tang has something to tell you." β
"Yes......" The little monk answered, quickly turned around, and went straight in one direction.
"The two donors, this case is widely implicated in the two, and there is still a life in our temple that is still uncertain. I am afraid that this case will not be broken for a while, and I also ask the two donors to stay in our temple temporarily, and when the abbot returns, I will give the two an explanation. β
Elder Tang said slowly towards the two of them.
Hearing this, my mind settled for the time being. The strong man straightened his waist, his eyes narrowed, and he pouted and raised his hand to call people: "A few of you, tie up the two of them and bring them into the temple immediately!" β
Several strong men took away their knives and sticks, hurriedly took out a string of hemp rope from their arms, and stepped forward to tie up the two.
"Wait." Bai Bait suddenly raised his head and said coldly.
