Chapter 477: Burning the Jellyfish Temple (Part II)
But it was said that Yang Mi and others fled in the forest and went straight to the jellyfish Niangniang Temple.
This temple is on a soil bag tens of meters high, which was built by the people for the wind and rain. There is no need for rain in autumn, the temple is deserted, and Yang Mi and others are just hiding.
Placing Yang's mother in the temple, the three of them moved stones to block the temple door, Zhong Ziang and Zhou Lun stood vigilantly in front of the window and looked down, but Yang Mi casually sharpened the waist knife snatched from Liu Jun's hand, and could not see a trace of nervousness.
The clouds of the river are rising and the sun is sinking, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.
Today's jellyfish Niangniang Temple oozes a trace of coldness, but it makes Yang Mi, who gritted his teeth and resisted, look extremely strong.
Looking at the retreating officers and soldiers, Yang Mi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped the sweat with his sleeve, and immediately his face was covered with blood, and he got rid of a bloody spirit.
Zhong Ziang and Zhou Lun didn't care about the mockery, and hurriedly carried the offering table to block the temple gate that was destroyed by the officers and soldiers, Zhou Lun still felt unreliable, picked up half of the door and blocked it horizontally, and used a big stone to top it in the back.
Yang Mi suddenly remembered something, he jumped out of the window violently, and jumped in from the window after a while, with two more waist knives in his hand.
He threw the knife to Zhong Ziang and Zhou Lun and said: "This is much easier to use than sticks and stones, and it is really a waste for the imperial court to allocate such a good knife to the officers and soldiers." The next time the officers and soldiers attack is still the old way, I will guard the window and you two guard the door, the officers and soldiers have no time to ask for help now, and we will take advantage of the night to escape until dark. It's a pity that the arrows run out, otherwise the officers and soldiers would be pheasants in my eyes, and one shot will be accurate! ”
"With the weapons at hand, I'm afraid of a bird officer and soldier! Now that three have died, and there are still five officers and soldiers, and two more will be killed in the next round, our brothers will go out directly and fight them alone, kill them all and get out of trouble calmly, so as not to be feared by these ghostly officers and soldiers. ”
Zhong Ziang's words were very uplifting, but Yang Mi knew that this was just to cheer up his own people, and now he was able to defend the temple gate by using the terrain, if he really faced the officers and soldiers, they would have been cut down.
In particular, the leading officers and soldiers were extremely clever, and he was dodged by shooting three arrows in a row, and only the first arrow knocked over one person. Now that the arrows have been fired, they can only use the narrow doors and windows to fight with the officers and soldiers, if the officers and soldiers enter the temple, these officers and soldiers who regard the people as grass mustard are absolutely ruthless, how can they have their lives.
At this time, the officers and soldiers each carried a large bundle of firewood, sneakily approaching the jellyfish Niangniang Temple, which was like carrying a shield to defend against arrows. Yang Mi didn't have time to think about the use of firewood, and reminded the other two in a loud voice: "The officers and soldiers are coming up again, brothers raise their spirits!" ”
Zhong Ziang's eyes widened and shouted: "When the officers and soldiers arrive at the door, see one cut one, see two cut a pair, let him have no return!" ”
Zhou Lun also raised his knife and shouted: "Killing one is enough, killing two earns one, come on, dog officers and soldiers!" ”
After a while, the five officers and soldiers approached the door and window, only to see two of them suddenly abandon the firewood, run to the side of the door and window respectively, and raise their waist knives high to make a downward chopping shape.
Obviously, if the people inside broke out, they would be cut in half, and then the other three people quickly erected themselves in front of the door and window with firewood.
Yang Mi and the others were still pondering the intentions of the officers and soldiers, and a thick black smoke accompanied by flames interrupted their thoughts, and even Yang Mu understood that the officers and soldiers used ruthless moves to destroy them.
The fire attack choked the lives of Yang Qi and others, making them like silkworms wrapped in cocoons, binding their hands and feet, unable to come out, and unable to come out.
Fire attack, capturing Yang Mi and others, is as easy as picking up a piece of grass on the ground, and only needs to bend down slightly.
Yang Mi and the others in the temple are really like ants in a hot pot, empty of blood but unable to exert their strength, they can only keep retreating, away from the deadly fire and smoke. Now their geographical advantage instantly turned into a disadvantage, blocked in the temple and watched as they were slowly enveloped in flames and gradually wrapped in smoke.
The Jellyfish Niangniang Temple is actually a larger house, a single temple built by the people in order to pray for rain, and there is no way out except for a single door and a single window, and now this way out has been blocked by them. The original fortifications were now an impenetrable wall of fire, blocking their only retreat.
"Jellyfish mother! Open your eyes and see, these days are going to burn my son! Please, rain quickly, save my son! ”
Yang's mother's heart-rending howl made Yang Mi cry silently, this son is really useless, not only failed to provide for his mother's old age, but also buried her in the fire.
He knelt down and hugged his thin mother and cried, "Mother! It is a child who is not filial, and he has not been filial in this life, and he will be your son and serve you in the next life! "Qiyin
After Yang Qi finished speaking, the mother and son hugged their heads and cried. Zhong Ziang and Zhou Lun also sat on the ground and wept lowly, and immediately the temple was filled with desperate grief, but tears could not extinguish the fire.
The fire broke the liver and intestines in the temple, and the heart outside the temple was full of joy, and it also pointed out the direction for Zhong Xiang who was looking for Yang Qi and others.
Zheng Ti Ha gloated as he watched the slowly intensifying fire, as if admiring a seductive dance, the flickering flames as charming as a dancer twisting her hips.
He was very relieved, and muttered hatefully in his heart: "Burn you dead thieves and prisoners, and avenge the three dead brothers!" ”
Two muffled snorts disturbed his good mood, and he turned his head to scold the two blind soldiers, only to see them fall to the ground and die, the arrow piercing through the back of the neck and the arrow still trembling.
He was taken aback, raised his knife and shouted, "What man? ”
Before the words fell, I saw dozens of men with knives and sticks, and surrounded them with arrows. Zheng Tizhi and the other three officers and soldiers were so frightened that they threw down their waist knives and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Good man, spare your life!" ”
The villagers couldn't help but say, and there was a burst of punches and kicks around them, and the three of them passed out after a while. Then everyone hurriedly began to extinguish the fire, then put out the fire and shouted the names of Zhong Ziang and others.
Since there was no water, they had to beat with branches, and the fire at the door quickly subsided. At this time, Yang Mi and the others inside were overjoyed when they heard it, Yang Mi carried his mother and Zhong Ziang and the three of them out of the temple gate in the smoke and fire, and then fell on the ground outside the temple, breathing the air greedily, looking like a cat carried out of the carbon pile, and the tired breathing revealed the joy of rebirth.
Everyone was relieved to see that the four of them were all fine. Mother Yang was very strong, she struggled to thank the villagers, and some villagers were afraid that the old man would fall again, so they were busy hugging Mother Yang.
Everyone was intoxicated with the waves of the rest of their lives, but Zheng Tisha, who didn't want to lie on the ground, woke up early, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw the opportunity to get up lightly and prepare to escape.
But he could hide the people who were standing with their backs to him, but he couldn't hide Yang Mi, who was also lying on the ground, and Yang Mi could see Zheng Tizhi's movements clearly.
At the moment when Zheng Tisha got up, Yang Mi let out a tiger roar, suddenly stood upright, and suddenly pounced on Zheng Tiha, knocking him over with just one punch.
Then riding on him, the two fists turned into countless raindrops and crackled and landed on Zheng Tisha's face. Zheng Tisha didn't even have time to say words to beg for mercy, and his face was smashed by the angry raindrops, like peach blossoms under the storm, the ground was red, and he couldn't die anymore.
At this time, the other two officers and soldiers also woke up from their vertigo, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously to beg for mercy.
Now everyone knows that today they are full of misfortunes, how can they spare these two officers and soldiers.
Zhong Xiang looked around and said, "Brothers say, what now?" ”
The gossip of the crowd was nothing more than the idea of killing the officers and soldiers and going home. However, Xia Cheng was calm, he knew that it was not a simple matter of killing officers and soldiers to go home to sleep, and he had to think about what to do in the future.
So he motioned for everyone to stop and said, "The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more." Brothers will listen to Brother Zhong in the future, what Brother Zhong says, brothers will do, from now on we will share life and death, blessings and misfortunes. ”
Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhong Xiang said: "That is the case, today our brothers will swear in front of the jellyfish mother, in the future, we will live and die together, and we will share blessings and misfortunes. ”
After saying that, he picked up the fishing fork and poked each of the two officers and soldiers, and then the rest of them recited the same oath, picked up the weapons in their hands and drew gourds in the same way, and in a burst of wailing, the two officers and soldiers almost became minced meat.
After the oath ended, Zhong Xiang knelt down and said: "The jellyfish mother is above, Zhong Xiang and the brothers offended the holy face today and begged for forgiveness." Another day, the temple should be rebuilt and the golden body will be reshaped. ”
Everyone knelt down and said: "I hope that the jellyfish mother will bless us and be healthy, and we will rebuild the temple for the mother and reshape the golden body." ”
After everyone got up, Zhong Xiang said: "Carry the corpses of officers and soldiers in, and add another fire!" ”
After a while, looking at the raging fire, Zhong Xiang said decisively: "Brothers, go home and pack up our belongings, it's time for us to move our nest, and we will have to change our way of living in the future." ”
