Chapter Twenty-Six: Desperate Survival
The short man looked in the direction of Lin Fan's finger and saw the three soldiers of the Inspection Division who were injured and fell to the ground, and were still struggling and wailing on the ground.
At the same time, the sergeants also stared at the short and stout man, and whether they were dead or alive next was between the words of the bandit.
There is no one in this world who is not afraid of death, and no one wants to die. Although Lin Fan is their boss, they haven't been together for a long time, even though they don't have a long sense of Lin Fan, but they don't have the consciousness to die with Lin Fan yet!
They stared at the stout man with pleading eyes, nervous. Their breathing began to become rapid, for fear that they would lose their lives because of their slightest negligence, and even the screams were stifled!
The short man never took these people to heart, his target was only Lin Fan, so he didn't care about the life or death of these people.
But they deserve to be unlucky when this happens, who let them catch up! This interception and killing of court officials is not trivial, and the court's retaliation is not a joke, and it is impossible to leave a living mouth, so it should be solved by the way!
He treated a few people as air, ignoring the few people who begged for his eyes. He just shook his head at Lin Fan and said, "No, you and they both have to die!"
When several sergeants heard this, their eyes went dark, and they almost fainted, as if they had fallen into an abyss; Stunned, stunned, frozen on the spot.
Their original expressions of pleading and hope turned into astonishment, and then into deep fear and despair!
They collapsed all at once, and between life and death, they could no longer care about face and dignity. Enduring the pain caused by the injuries on his body, he got up and knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing, one after another, until finally his forehead began to bleed.
They begged bitterly: "I am old and young, I beg the good man to spare his life!" Heroes spare their lives! ”
The short man was unmoved, they had seen this kind of scene a lot before, and they would encounter it almost every time they went down the mountain.
The bandits laughed and pointed, just taking them as a joke. They laugh uncontrollably, disregard the lives of others, and take pleasure in it.
The laughter deeply stimulated Lin Fan, in the eyes of this group of thieves, taking people's lives was like child's play, and there was almost no humanity at all.
Lin Fan stared at the group of bandits coldly, and loudly scolded several sergeants: "What are you afraid of for me?" Dead is dead! Look at the way you look at your, what good are you doing except to be looked down upon? Even if we want to die, we have to die a dignified death and leave some dignity for ourselves! ”
Several people raised their heads in confusion, looked at the murderous bandits, and understood that they would not have the slightest soft-heartedness, and they and others would definitely die.
looked at Lin Fan again, looking at his composure and calmness, he also began to be infected by him.
If it weren't for Lin Fan's words here, they might not have the courage to resist. Many times, people in the world will be lucky and will wait to die; In fact, when someone takes the lead, things are different.
One of them stood up tremblingly, and although he was still afraid, he said in a trembling voice: "What the adults said is reasonable, they will die anyway, fuck it, and die if they die!" We are not afraid, not afraid! Fight with them! ”
Hearing this, the other two also supported each other and stood up with difficulty.
Lin Fan clenched the sword in his hand and stood in front of the three of them with the sword, protecting them behind him.
He sneered at the bandits, "What are you waiting for? Do it! ”
The stocky man was not in the least impressed by this scene, and he raised his right hand over his shoulder with a blank expression.
At this time, all the bandits quieted down, aimed the weapons in their hands at Lin Fan and the others, looking at the short and strong man, as long as he waved his hand down, Lin Fan and the others would immediately turn into a few hedgehogs and die on the spot!
"Ahh Yes! Yes! The screams sounded one after another, but they were not from Lin Fan and a few people, but from behind the bandits. This was followed by an overwhelming shout of killing, and arrows shot from behind the bandits, and the bandits behind fell to the ground one by one.
Lin Fan didn't look back, and said to the few people behind him who hadn't reacted yet, "What are you still doing?" Wait for death! Don't hurry up yet! ”
After saying that, he ignored them, took a few steps forward, used his sword to block the arrows that were fired, cut down several bandits in front of him, and cooperated with the reinforcements behind him to kill the battle group. The next few people woke up like a big dream, pulled out the matching knife from their waists, and followed Lin Fan forward to kill.
Lin Fan and a few people were surrounded by bandits in the center, and the periphery was surrounded by later generations, it was really you and me, and I had you; In the middle of the fight, you come and go, swords and swords, and the whole scene is a mess.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, the bandits were unguarded, and when they heard the shouts of killing, coming from all directions, as if there were enemies everywhere, they panicked at once, and did not know what to do.
The short man was also surprised, but after all, he was the leader of the bandits, and he could still maintain the most basic calm.
He tried his best to maintain order, pacify the bandits, and direct the resistance. However, after all, the bandits had not undergone systematic training, and they were suddenly attacked, and their positions were in chaos, and they only thought about escaping for their lives, and there was no way to dispatch them at all. He could only forcibly suppress the scene by shouting, punching and kicking.
However, although this can calm the people under him, it is tantamount to pointing out the goal and direction for others.
The short man naturally became the key target of the officers and soldiers, and many arrows were shot in his direction, intentionally or unintentionally, and the officers and soldiers also surrounded him.
At this time, I only heard a "whoosh", and the sound of breaking wind sounded, and I don't know where it came from, an arrow broke through the air.
The short man had no way to avoid it, so he could only tilt his head in a hurry, but he was still shot in the right arm, and the arrow fell backwards on his back.
The leader was wounded, the dragons were leaderless, and the bandits, who had finally stabilized initially, lost their command and were in chaos again. Unable to organize any more resistance, the defense line collapsed, and the bandits began to flee into the mountains in a swarm.
The short and stout man was seriously injured, and he was supported by others, and he barely stood up again, looking at his subordinates who fell to the ground with many dead and wounded, and at the rest of the bandits who fled in all directions, scattering birds and beasts, he was helpless, and he couldn't help but feel sad!
In the past few years, there have been frequent disasters and wars in his hometown, and corrupt officials have levied and extorted money in a tyrannical manner, persecuted and killed the common people who could not pay taxes. As a result, everyone's family is ruined and their wives are separated, so they can only leave their hometown and flee all the way south.
On the way to escape, one after another people fell, and they never got up again, and all the way down, there were only so many dozens of people left.
Everyone has relied on each other and supported each other to get to where we are today, and some people have even re-pulled them out of the pile of dead people by themselves.
He knew every single one of them, the pillars, the dogs, and the most dishonest skinny monkey, and many, many others.
I took these people from Zhongyuan Road all the way to Huainan Road, and arrived in Yongyang County, Anzhou. Everyone is so hungry that they can't walk! If you go any further, you can only starve to death, and you have no choice but to burrow into this deep mountain and old forest.
He took it for granted that since everyone became bandits! In order to survive, in order to be able to fill your stomach, you can naturally burn, kill, loot and do anything! Aren't all the legendary bandits in those stories doing that?
Over time, after a long time, in addition to his own rotten life, he doesn't take other people's lives very seriously.
After going up the mountain, they killed a lot of people, whether it was a passing merchant or a local villager, they did not let go, including many old and young women and children.
In his heart, he didn't think that he was really wrong by doing this, he just wanted to lead everyone to live. Why are we born to starve to death, while those damned officials and men are all big fish, big meat, spending all day drinking, and living freely?
He hates, he doesn't want to die, he also wants everyone to live, he is unwilling! He also wants those evil court and evil dog officials to pay the price!
And if he wants to do this, he must first pay the price for his choice, and his price is that he doesn't know when he has slowly become accustomed to it, accustomed to blood, and even more accustomed to killing!
From the initial fear, to the gradual numbness, to the habitual, to now even began to enjoy the pleasure of being above others, being able to trample on and deprive others of their lives, whenever he saw the blood bloom in front of his eyes, he had an indescribable excitement.
Occasionally, he would wake up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, sit up from his bed, look at his hands, and wonder when they had become stained with the blood of innocent people. The answer he didn't know!
Oh, yes! When did he become the same as the court dog official that everyone hated? He occupies the mountains as the king, for the sake of gold, silver and money, he treats the lives of others like ants, killing and taking them!
even took out some of the stolen money and gave it to those sanctimonious dog officials, cooperated with them, exchanged news, just to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, and even helped them get rid of political enemies for this purpose!
The past is vivid, like a horse watching flowers, one by one in front of his eyes. In order to be able to live, they do all kinds of evil. Unexpectedly, after so long, so many brothers still lost their lives here!
He saw with his own eyes that the thin monkeys and dogs were falling in front of him one by one in order to protect themselves, but he couldn't do anything.
He was saddened by the death of so many people, but he was not surprised, and he was ready from the first day he went up the mountain!
For such a long time, everyone has killed so many people, naturally there will be retribution, sooner or later there will be such a day, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, so early!
In fact, he may have sighed, but he has never regretted his original choice, even if God can give him a chance to do it again, he will still walk on this road without hesitation.
Anyway, it's all death, rather than quietly freezing and starving to death, becoming a pile of nameless dry bones on the side of the road; It's better to do him vigorously, even if he becomes a robber and thief that everyone spurns and avoids, what can he do?
He has never had the ambition and pride to help the world, nor does he want to rob the rich and help the poor, and help the poor.
In his opinion, a thief is a thief, a thief is a bandit, and since he has done it, there is no high-sounding reason and excuse.
They were originally all ordinary people who kept to themselves, and they were easily satisfied, they just wanted to live, even if they could only live humbly!
The reason why they became what they are today is also because they were forced, and no one in the world was born to be extremely vicious. A few years ago, I would never have imagined that my people would have come to this point.
Since this world has now become a luxury to even let them live humbly; Then they can choose not to let themselves die a humble death.
After thinking about it so much, I still have to come back to reality. The stout man knew that this time they had really planted it. After breaking so many brothers, if you don't leave, I'm afraid you will have to explain it all here. And even if you want to escape now, it's still unknown whether you can escape.
Now, he looked up to the sky and sighed, there is no other way, how much can he escape and leave it to fate!
He could only flee in panic under the escort of a few loyal men, and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest in the blink of an eye. Only a trail of scarlet blood was left in its place, stretching into the distance, proving that someone was injured here.
