Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 36 The Curtain Opens (I)
Jiang Yuyan was standing on the top of a bamboo building at this time, looking at what was happening in the open space of the bamboo building of the owner of the village, Ah Tian stood behind him, his face was full of worry: "This Luchuan soldier actually wants to kill Xi'er to avenge his child, what should I do, this is an unexpected thing." ”
"We're ready, those villagers have all arranged." Jiang Yu's eyes were not without nervousness, but they were quite calm.
"Hmm." Ah Tian nodded, but her hands trembled slightly because of her apprehension.
Looking at the worried Ah Tian, Jiang Yuyan comforted again: "The other Luchuan soldiers won't let him really do it, they just use Xi'er to find Auma first." ”
When Ah Tian heard this, he suddenly realized something, and exclaimed: "If you don't arrange for someone to intercept and kill the people sent by the young village master to take away Aouma, and the Luchuan soldiers can't wait for Auma in the end, wouldn't Xi'er be in danger?" ”
"So recklessness is a huge obstacle, in every sense of the word." Jiang Yu rubbed the bird gun in his hand: "We can't keep him." ”
…………………
Xi'er, who was tied to the totem stake in front of the bamboo building of the village owner, had already swollen her eyes from crying, and she had no strength to struggle, but kept shouting softly: "Uncle Yu, Daddy, come to save me, Uncle Yu, Daddy......"
The atmosphere on Luchuan's side was also tense, while controlling the anger of the old Luchuan soldier's eagerness to avenge the child, while anxiously waiting for Aouma's arrival.
They weren't sure they could go deep into the cottage and catch Aumma, as they might put themselves in danger, as they didn't know if Aummah had any other plans than handing out weapons.
There are hundreds of people in this village, although the vast majority of people don't have the courage to oppose them, but Aouma, the former number one warrior of Nansang Village, is still worthy of vigilance, once he entangles the manpower to ambush them, it will be a big deal. So, using his daughter as bait to lure him over, this is the best way to go.
Just when their patience was on the verge of the limit, they couldn't suppress the old Luchuan soldiers, thinking that if they couldn't find Aouma, they might as well kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and use Xi'er's things to deter the people in this cottage, with a commotion, the crowd began to disperse, and a figure appeared from the passage formed by the crowd dispersed, it was Aouma.
After the wounds he suffered in the first battle between Nansangzhai and the Luchuan Army healed, he survived malaria with the treatment of Jiang Yugang and his party, recovered for more than a month, and almost regained his former strong physique.
Auma held the family heirloom long knife in his hand, and looked at the Luchuan soldiers in front of him with a cold face: "I issued the knife in the stockade, and your child was killed by me in the battle, something is coming at me, Xi'er is just a doll who doesn't understand anything, don't touch her." ”
In the crowd on the side, the young village master Mang Ge saw Auma appear, but he was a little impatient: "Impossible, I have already sent someone to stop him, why is he still here?" ”
"Reckless, don't be impatient." The old man beside him comforted, "The matter has come to this point, and we can only adapt to the situation." ”
"But, that's the Luchuan soldiers! In the Luchuan Mengyang area, there are more than 100,000 people in total, and there is no good end for them to fight against them! His eyes widened.
Auma looked around at the villagers, but what he saw was fear, confusion and indifference, as if the people standing in front of him were not the enemy Luchuan soldiers from Nansang Village, but the jugglers from the Ava country, who gathered here just to watch the play.
He held the knife tighter, chuckled helplessly, and rushed towards a dozen Luchuan soldiers alone with the knife.
The Luchuan soldiers didn't want to kill him directly, but wanted to control him and interrogate the news from him, so they only sent two people to catch Aouma's attack.
Unexpectedly, Aouma's blade was extremely fast, and he cut down a person in the blink of an eye, and the Luchuan soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and immediately surrounded several people, attacking its vital points everywhere, Aouma's body was besieged, and his clothes were quickly scratched to tatters, and several wounds appeared where his clothes were torn, and blood began to flow out.
Auma was in pain, and he didn't hold the handle of the knife for a while, and a Luchuan soldier used enough brute force to knock his knife away, and with a crisp sound, Aouma's knife flew to the stone a few meters away, and was bounced away again.
And Aouma, who was bare-handed, was directly kicked to the ground by another soldier while leaning over to avoid the sword light of a Luchuan soldier, stepping on his back and pressing on the ground, unable to move.
"Daddy!" Seeing this, Xi'er let out a terrible scream.
…………………………
"What now?" Ah Tian anxiously pushed Jiang Yuyan again: "None of the villagers took the initiative to take action, Awuma is in danger now!" ”
"That's a bit too ruthless." Jiang Yu touched his chin. Using the model drawings he provided, the razor that Lu Chong made for him with his own hands was still a little difficult to use, and the feeling of stubble pricking his hands made him calmer a little calmer.
The villagers of Nansangzhai who gathered in the open space in front of the house of the owner of the village had more than 200 people, and he also issued more than 200 hunting knives to the villagers this month, which were not worse than the quality used by the Luchuan soldiers.
He remembered many stories from later generations, about apathy, about awakening. However, Jiang Yugang's most profound understanding at this time is about groups - when an individual forms a group of people, the attributes of the individual change.
One person can shout, and a group of people is left with silence. A person will struggle with a question, and a group of people may come up with an answer very simply, this is the power of the group, which can move forward the fastest, or it can go down the wrong path and never return.
The fear of the Luchuan soldiers and the blindness of the authority of the owner of the village made the villagers of Nansangzhai choose to be silent, silent again and again, and the end of this silence is that they don't even know what they are, why they live and why they die.
Nansangzhai is like a microcosm of civilization, slowly dying out in silence. Whether it is war or hunger, it is an external manifestation of this process of extinction, and the people in Nansang Village died one after another in this silence.
He glanced at the villagers with indifferent expressions for a long time, and his eyes were full of primitive human interest and curiosity, sighed silently, lit the rope of the bird's gun, and aimed at the soldiers of the Luchuan Army.
"I'll do it." Jiang Yu said softly.
When Ah Tian heard Jiang Yugang say this, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he couldn't stand firmly on the ground. She didn't know why she trusted Jiang Yuyan so much, as if as long as he made a move, all problems could be solved.
However, in fact, Jiang Yuyan knows why, because his consistent style of doing things is that if he can't guarantee to find the answer to a question, he always goes to do a question that he will do. After two months of planning in Nansangzhai, it finally came to this moment of outbreak.
I have come to free you from your silence. Jiang Yu said in his heart.
