Chapter 41: Purgatory on Earth
"Poof, poofใใใใใใ" The sound of steel knives entering the body sounded, and the three of Qin Forget and the three enemies on the opposite side all fell to the ground. Each had the other's steel knives stuck deep in their bodies. Six people lay in a ball, and the enemies who fought to the death were inseparable from each other at this moment.
Qin Wang's three finally exhausted all their strength. After fighting for so long and shedding so much blood, no matter how strong the will to survive is, they can't save them. At this moment, they can only quietly watch the blood flowing cleanly on their bodies, and slowly experience the feeling of life flowing from their bodies.
Deputy Sect Leader Xue walked over slowly with a knife in his backhand, and the tip of the knife rubbed against the bluestone slab, drawing out a fire snake. He walked up to Qin Wang, lowered his head, and stared at Qin Wang's eyes viciously, "I have to admit that you are very strong!" You can kill a dozen of me like this, but unfortunately, you're going to die. โ
He slowly raised his knife, still staring at Qin Wang's eyes, hoping to see even a trace of fear and begging in those bright, cold eyes. Conquering the strong has always been his favorite thing to do.
But he was doomed to be disappointed, and all he saw was infinite ridicule and disdain, "You're still so verbose." Qin Forget gave the other party a big smile.
"Die!" Deputy Sect Leader Xue was annoyed and angry, and with a roar, the long knife raised in high fell heavily.
Everyone stared at the rapidly slashing long knife, and the few remaining strong men showed a relieved look in their eyes.
"Stop, kill me!" Su Dingnan shouted.
"Don't kill my host!" Ding Chen also shouted angrily.
"Poof!" The long knife slashed down, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Quick! Come on! Dong Zhuang kept pumping his beloved war horse, the war horse was galloping, and the county soldiers were chasing wildly.
It took a whole cup of tea for Dong Zhuang to clean up the chaotic people on the street, and rushed to Wang's mansion in a hurry.
"It's here, it's almost there!" Dong Zhuang finally saw the gate of Wang's house.
The broken gates, chaotic sounds, and terrible screams all indicated that the Wang family had been broken, which made him red-eyed in an instant.
"Kill it, and leave no one behind!" He pointed forward with his long knife and rushed into Wang's mansion first.
The influx of 200 county soldiers made the Wang family's compound even more crowded, and the red-eyed county soldiers were killed indiscriminately, killing the chaotic people when they saw them, and cutting down the living people when they saw them. From the front yard to the back yard, the rioters lay on the ground like bundled crops.
Dong Zhuang didn't care about those chaotic people, and rushed to the backyard of Wang's house with a knife, and Wang Ping hurriedly led people to catch up with him.
Dong Zhuang kicked open the door of the backyard and was stunned for a moment. He looked at Wang Chen's embroidery building in surprise, and a cool breath rushed from the soles of his feet to his scalp. There were corpses everywhere, and there was not even a place to put your feet on the ground. The blood had long since cooled, congealing into a large slush on the ground, which looked like a scarlet carpet from a distance. In the entire courtyard, there were only four strong men standing dumbfounded, and they did not react to the large number of county soldiers who rushed in.
It's quiet, it's too quiet.
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in amazement, their faces full of disbelief.
Deputy Sect Leader Xue was still standing straight, and the long knife in his hand fell on a finger's height on Qin Wang's head. Unfortunately, he could no longer split half a point downward.
He stared at his lower abdomen in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief that there was a dagger no more than a foot long, and it didn't cut in.
The surroundings were eerie, except for the sound of blood flowing down the blood trough.
"As I said, you're too long-winded." Qin Forget drew the short knife fiercely, and the blood immediately sprayed him.
Deputy Sect Leader Xue staggered back a few steps, making a few "cooing" sounds in his throat, and finally fell down unwillingly. The round eyes were full of regret, and he knew why he had to talk so much, so that his brothers would turn out how good this kid was.
It's really unwilling, I finally got into the position of deputy sect leader, and I haven't enjoyed a good life, so I was planted in the hands of this kid.
It's a pity that there is no regret in the world to take medicine, he feels that his eyes are getting darker and darker, and in the end there is no light.
And Qin Forget also used up all the strength in his body, and the hunting knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "dang bang", and then fainted decisively.
When the first rays of the morning sun reached Akagi, everything was finally settled.
It is rare that it is a sunny day, and under the bright sunshine, every corner of sincerity is delicately revealed.
After the turmoil, Akagi was devastated and littered with corpses, including men, women, the elderly, and children. Lying down, lying on his stomach, kneeling are all sorts of weird. Fear, pleading, anger, all sorts. The blood everywhere seemed to be silently telling the people what had happened in the past night. Houses that had been set on fire by the rioters were still emitting curling green smoke, and only a pile of ashes remained of the thatched hut that had barely sheltered from the wind and rain. The pungent smell of blood and the aroma of barbecue are intertwined.
The whole Akagi is ghostly, and I don't know how many survivors are hiding in the corners that they think are safe. No one dared to make any sound, as if the slightest movement would bring death to themselves.
"The county magistrate ordered all the people to go out of their homes, bury the bodies, and clean up the county seat!" Groups of county soldiers shuttled back and forth through the streets and alleys, breaking the tranquility of the early morning in Chicheng County. The officers of last night's battle were almost completely lost, and such miscellaneous matters inevitably fell on the heads of the county soldiers.
The shouting became farther and farther away, and finally someone dared to walk out of the house and began to clean up the rubble in front of the door and the corpses of relatives and friends.
An old man walked tremblingly in the courtyard, looking blankly at his dilapidated home. Despair had numbed him, and he trembled as he touched his dead son, then swayed to clothe his ruined daughter-in-law, and finally picked up his grandson, who had fallen to his death. Seeing that his grandson, who was lively and lovely yesterday, has now turned into a cold corpse, old tears finally flowed out of his eyes.
"Hey, die well, don't suffer when you die, hehe, die well, die well, hahaใใใใใใใ" The old man suddenly threw down the child and clapped his hands and shouted "good death", and he went crazy.
A woman, ragged and half-naked, with a mess underneath. Not far away was his man, who was dead, but still looking at the woman with wide eyes, full of anger and humiliation. He endured the greatest humiliation as a man, watching his mother-in-law being ruined but unable to do anything.
"Daddy, daddy, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you." The woman crawled up to the man, shook his body, and cried.
"You wait for me, wait for me." The woman suddenly got up and hurried to the wall beside her.
"Bang!" Her brain burst, and she fell to the ground.
A little girl timidly crawled out of a broken vat, "Mother? Mother! She looked at her mother lying on her back on the kang and stumbled over. Mother, what's wrong with you? Wake up! The little girl was too young to know what was wrong with her mother, crying and shaking her mother's body in a milky voice.
ใใใใใใใ
Such scenes can be seen everywhere, and everywhere are figures holding their relatives and crying loudly, calling for heaven and earth. There are not a few people who cut themselves off on the spot. There are dead people in every house, every household hears the cry, and the entire Akagi is ten rooms and nine empty, which is unbearable to see, it is simply purgatory on earth.
This turmoil was not only suffered by these ordinary people, but also the rich and noble families were slaughtered, the worst of which was the Li family and Wang Liang's Wang family. These two families are really unkind to the rich and lose their conscience, and instead of giving relief to those refugees, as long as the refugees collide with them at all, they will be beaten violently, and at worst, they will take the lives of the refugees. The two families also made a fortune and sold many children of refugees, especially young and beautiful girls, who were sold to brothels by no less than hundreds, all of which aroused great indignation among the refugees.
With the turmoil, the refugees' anger against the two families was completely ignited, and without the instigation of the Blood Lotus Sect, the refugees attacked the two families like crazy. Although there were hundreds of families in both families, they still did not hold on, and they were still attacked by refugees. Only two heads of the two families and a small number of family members survived, and the others were killed, and their belongings were robbed.
The county riots were suppressed by 500 county soldiers and went quickly. In this turmoil of less than a night, nearly 2,000 people of Chicheng were directly killed, and the county officials and the armed men of the major families were almost swept away. Hundreds of houses were burned down, and countless belongings were looted and damaged. At least 1,000 people were killed and more than 2,000 arrested, and for a time, the prisons were overcrowded.
After such a riot, Akagi County can no longer stay. Many people began to pack up and flee here with their families and belongings. Since early in the morning, there has been an endless stream of people fleeing, and in just one morning, one-third of the people's families have already gone to the empty building.
That's right, these ordinary people are afraid, and a riot destroys not only people's bodies, but also people's courage to stay.
The four families of Huang Yin, Wang and Li in the county town were all destroyed to varying degrees, but fortunately, the family lords of this era all had the habit of raising private soldiers, and although the chaos was huge, except for the Li and Wang families, the Huang and Yin families were almost unharmed.
