Chapter 170: A Thousand Knives for the Grace of One Meal (4)
Everyone was already sighing, and the dirty water in their mouths was flying all over the sky.
Listening to the sneering laughter in her ears, Bai Bait's heartbeat was almost static for a few moments, and the fire-like heat burned from her cheeks to the roots of her ears, and then rushed to the blood, but her eyes and heart were cold to the freezing point.
"The fact that the Buddha has done such unclean things is a great disrespect to my Buddha!"
The serious trial in front of the Buddha Gate has become his trick of jumping off the beam clown!
Elder Tang quickly flicked the Buddha beads in front of him, his eyes full of anger.
"It is you who have wronged good people, and it is you who want us to prove ourselves, and at this moment you say that we have done wrong, is your Buddhism a place where there is no distinction between black and white and the world is turned upside down?"
I was really a little displeased by these dead bald donkeys, and tightened my fists behind me, broke free from the shackles of the hemp rope, and rejuvenated my hands, with a look of indifference on my face.
"You-"
Dirty the pure land, and slander the Buddha!
Elder Tang immediately trembled with anger, and his entire body suddenly retreated half a step.
Elder Sun immediately held him up, and at the same time, he raised a stern gaze and shouted outward.
"Don't catch him yet!"
Jiang Lizheng wanted to loosen the tie for the white bait, and the few people who grabbed them immediately rushed up, shocked by his eyes, but a little afraid to move forward.
Elder Tang breathed a few sighs of relief, stood up, and slowly spoke: "Since it is difficult for Buddhism to judge the affairs of the world, then there are only people who ask the instructor's mansion. ”
Then, summoning someone, "Hurry up and invite the royal soldiers ten miles away from Jinming Temple." ”
Hearing this, Bai Bait's heart couldn't help but be shocked.
Now that the wind people are raging everywhere, this government has long been unable to distinguish whether it is the wind people or the enemy, if this matter reaches the ears of the wind people, the only way to solve this matter is to cut it in two.
When the time comes, it will not only be them who will die, but also other refugees who will make trouble, and the last place for thousands of people in Qinhuai, Jinming Temple, will also be trampled by the wind people.
What's more, she and Jiangli were originally fugitives, if this matter gets bigger and bigger, once the identities of the two are exposed, I'm afraid it's not as simple as death!
This point seemed to be foreseen in advance, and he immediately shouted: "Wait—"
"Now, can't you restore my innocence?"
Hearing this, Elder Sun couldn't help but sneer, and then cut at him.
"Innocence? What innocence do you have? One or two foul words and want to ask for innocence? Are you not able to do it when my temple is the hook under the mountain? Putting aside the case of incense money for the time being, the theft of the backyard is probably ironclad evidence now! ”
"Donor, where did you get your innocence!"
The last sentence is ironic.
"You-"
Jiang Li suddenly became furious, and the voice of gritting teeth hissed.
is a bald donkey with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and he is still saying the word "generosity" in a high-sounding manner, but at this moment he is like that rural villager, extremely bitter and mean!
Bai Bait pushed Jiang Li away, took a step forward, and said to Elder Tang.
"No need to invite officers and soldiers! This has come to light. The spices in the backyard were stolen by us, and we thought that the incense money was someone else, maybe it was an inner ghost, maybe someone else was present! How to punish stealing the backyard, Elder Tang just speaks, and the two of us have no complaints! ”
Her resolute words immediately stirred people's hearts, and all the monks, including Elder Sun, as well as the refugees present, began to become unstable.
"There's an inner ghost? Could it be that the thief really has someone else? ”
"It's not them, who else will it be, if you continue to investigate like this, when will you be able to catch the murderer, if you can't catch the murderer, Jinming Temple will refuse to open the granary, and everyone will starve to death if you don't open the granary!"
"That's right, if you don't give porridge, everyone will starve to death."
Seeing this, some people were completely impatient and coaxed.
"I don't think I'll check it, there are no other clues at the moment, there are hundreds of people present, hundreds of mouths, thousands of ears, if there were really other clues, the murderer would have come out a long time ago. At present, only the two of them are the most suspicious, and I think they can be punished as soon as possible! ”
"That's right! Elder, arrest them and punish them, you don't have that much time to wait any longer! Punish it! ”
Half of the people cried out, begging for the case to be decided.
Bai Bait was suddenly a little frightened, as the saying goes, the body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, afraid of this leisurely mouth! Even if she can prove herself with all her might, how can she be worth the money of everyone!
She turned her head and slowly looked back at the entire crowd, feeling for the first time that people's hearts were so ugly, in order to let the temple open a warehouse and release grain earlier, she did not hesitate to treat the two of them as real murderers! In the face of disaster, everyone seeks self-preservation, and their selfishness is exposed in great detail!
What's the use of complaining about their ruthlessness and their ugliness?
Has she seen less such things?
But I have to admit that it is the first time she has seen such a vast scene!
She hated, hated only the wind people who cornered their enemies one by one, and in the end they could only kill each other!
"Shut up, shut up......"
The scene was chaotic for a while, and it was no longer something that could be controlled with a single glance, let alone something that he could solve with a single fist.
It's just that it's unimaginable that a person who has always been calm and calm, in this case, his emotions are out of control.
Her helpless gaze slowly swept through the crowd, and her heart tightened, and she felt a little painful!
Her eyes glazed over!
It's not that she can't bear the wrongs of everyone and can't help herself, there is something even more terrifying, in an instant, like a knife, poked into her heart!
She found that among the people who were in the crowd, there were many refugees who had shared wolf meat with her yesterday!
At first, it was two! And then -
Three, four, five... Eight!
Fifteen... Twenty-one......
She tensed her nerves and counted silently, her heart had already cut a long hole, and blood began to flow slowly out of it.
Why is this happening? She questioned inwardly, over and over again.
Elder Tang's contemplative gaze was raised, and he sighed secretly, thinking that things had developed to this point, it was really a little difficult, if the two of them were easily released, it would be difficult to convince the public, and there would be no clues in this case; If they are easily condemned, they will be wronged and innocent.
Just as he was spinning, a scream suddenly came from the crowd!
Fierce shouts fell intermittently, and small fragments floated up.
"What's wrong? What's wrong..."
White Bait took a deep breath of cold air and looked up to follow the voice. Starting point Chinese
"Bao'er——, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you! ”
A yellow, thin-faced woman fell to her knees, picked up the fainting child from the ground, shook the child's body, and asked in a panic.
The child's face was pale, his eyes were a little unable to open, and he seemed extremely weak in any movement. The chapped lips were torn apart with difficulty, and a few words flowed out, like lips.
"A-Niang, my stomach hurts, it hurts......"
"Why does it hurt to have a stomach?" The woman looked at the child in her arms who was struggling in pain, and screamed like crazy: "Help—"
Douda's tears couldn't stop falling from her eyes, and the mournful screams echoed in the sky like a chime bell that rang loudly, shocking!
Bai Bait, like everyone else, approached with his heart, that kid is too familiar!
"Oh, Aunt Song! Did your little Bao'er also eat the wolf meat of that pair of men and women yesterday! I'll just say that the wolf meat was poisoned by them! You still don't believe it! ”
The person who spoke was a sharp-mouthed woman who looked worried, pulled the people around her, and vigorously exposed the femme fatale of the two of them.
No, it's not.
Bai Bait wanted to step forward and say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something for a while, and her voice was weak, probably because the claws of fear strangled her vocal cords!
"That wolf meat is really poisonous! Oh, my God! ”
The scene was suddenly chaotic, and the monks in the temple rushed down one after another to rescue, and the people who were vying to watch were crowded more fiercely than one another, and there were words in their mouths.
I just felt that my palms suddenly tightened! She turned her head in a panic, and her eager eyes suddenly met the hesitation in her eyes—
"Come with me!"
They don't have time to get bogged down in such unhelpful disputes!
They've got to leave!
Bai Bait shook his head, his face a little ugly.
She is not even afraid of death, how can she be afraid of gossip all over the city?
She just wants to get the truth, to get an answer, an answer that goes straight to the heart!
"Can't go!"
Thousands of eyes, jealous and hateful, like a sharp knife light, quietly swept by—
"Catch the murderer! Catch the thief! Don't let them run! ”
With just one or two flicks of their fingers, the two of them were surrounded by water, and the knives and sticks fell together, blocking them with nowhere to escape!
The refugees retreated, making way for help, and the children who had passed out were carried into the temple by the monks as quickly as possible.
The figures were swaying, and the two of them couldn't even see the child's face clearly.
In their bewildered eyes, the child's mother suddenly passed by them, stopped and pointed at the noses of the two of them, and scolded them with their heads and faces.
"If my Bao'er has three long and two short, I will definitely kill you!"
The saliva in his mouth had just flown down, and in an instant, tears fell like rain.
I saw her pounce on the two elders like a madman, ripping off the monk's robes, and begging bitterly.
"Elder, you must be the master of my child!"
After a ghost cry and a beating of his chest, he followed the steps of the monk and rushed into the temple. "Boa—"
"Ladies and gentlemen, now these two people have not only stolen Jinming Temple, but also poisoned wolf meat in an attempt to poison us! We must not let them go! ”
Someone rushed out of the crowd and shouted hoarsely.
That man was no stranger, the same person who shared wolf meat with him yesterday!
His name is Zhou Jishan, and he walks with a little lameness, because, he said, not long ago, he was bitten on the hind leg by the werewolf's wolf rider, and he also said that his old mother died under the werewolf's knife in order to cover himself from the werewolf's tracking, and he was forced to go up the mountain.
Bai Bait remembers, she remembers his face, every refugee who shared wolf meat with her yesterday, she remembers it clearly!
Although she didn't know what the names of some of them were, she remembered what they looked like, because they looked very kind at that time, just like family, and she felt sad and sympathetic to what each of them had suffered.
The joy of sharing hardships made her feel that the situation in front of her was not bitter at all, but sweet, just like the piece of wolf meat handed over to them, it was really sweet.
"They must not be spared! Evil spirits—"
"The evil spirit of the human face and the heart of the beast! Dare to be a thief who doesn't dare to admit it! ”
Gritting her teeth, she suddenly rushed away from the sticks that pressed on her, raised her head high, and shouted: "I said——, wolf meat is not poisonous!" ”
The sudden tearing sound was like a bolt of lightning, piercing the sky.
What followed was rolling thunder.
"If it's not poisonous, how can a well-behaved child suddenly faint!"
"yes—"
"It's their poison! They are wolves in wolf's clothing! ”
"Bad spirits—"
... ...
In this world, there are thousands of ways to kill people, and there are thousands of reasons for killing people, and if they are bent on killing you, they will not tell you any reason.
She threw away the hemp rope that had been broken from her hand, and took a few steps forward in a daze, her eyes persistent and her goal clear, but there was no expression on her face.
"Hugh will act rashly!"
The knife-wielding refugee yelled behind her, warning her not to go any further.
"White bait!"
He called softly, and in a pair of worried eyes, her back looked very lonely, and she didn't know what she was going to do. Although he couldn't see her face clearly at the moment, he could imagine that it must be a face as jealous and hateful as an iceberg.
He screamed as hard as he could, and was about to break free from the restraints around his neck, when she suddenly stretched half her hand back.
In the silence, as if reminding himself, don't resist, don't approach.
Someone is shouting in her ears, hurry up and catch her, otherwise, she will run away, she will rush out and endanger the others!
Repeated warnings were useless, and she couldn't go down unscrupulously, and several refugees with knives suddenly rushed forward—
The shiny steel knife slashed through the arc of lightning in the gray sky, and the elite edge was approaching her inch by inch!
"White bait, be careful—"
