After receiving Li Mao's order, Mo Qi's divine power threw away his hand and stepped aside, but his eyes were still murderous. As the head of the pro-army, such a thing happened under his nose, and Mo Qi's supernatural power was a little angry. Under the command of Chang Heqing, the medical officer of the team and a disciple of Ge Rixiu, the accompanying escort set up a windshield screen, and Su Qing's nurse Meng Shi took hay on the spot and boiled a pot of hot water, carried water into the screen, and washed the blood on Su Qing's face.

When entering the screen, Su Qing repeatedly begged Li Mao not to embarrass He Sancai and others, because seeing Li Mao's perfunctory intentions, Su Qing's eyes were filled with a layer of sadness, and he refused to leave again. In front of Li Mao, Su Qing has always shown the image of a strong woman, even if she laughs in the boudoir, she is often aggressive, because she wants to intercede for a few thieves who have hurt her, and she shows a childlike attitude, which is beyond Li Mao's expectations. Li Mao promised to interrogate this group of thieves first, and if there was no other fault, he would let them live, which coaxed Su Qing into the fence for treatment.

Li Mao squatted down and looked at the eight trembling thieves, his eyes were as cold as icicles: "How many lives have you killed on this road?" Everyone gossiped: "We are all hunters in the neighborhood, dare to kill birds and beasts, how dare we kill people?" We were so hungry that we couldn't help it, so we came out to find something to eat. ”

Li Mao said: "There is work in Gushan Town, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is no reason why you can't eat, I think you are addicted to being a thief, and you just want to do business without capital." "Eight people kowtow like pounding garlic, up and down. Li Mao shouted: "Say, how many lives have you killed here?" After a loud shout, a snowy horizontal knife was added to the necks of the eight people at the same time, and there was blood in the eyes of the Mo Qi Divine Force, and he wanted to kill the eight people quickly. Eight men trembled, their faces like dust.

He Sancai glared at Li Mao, and suddenly said fiercely: "Left and right is death, Lao Tzu dares to do it." Yes, we have killed people, and there is more than one, but all those who pass through this road, as long as we can do it, we have never been soft-hearted, robbing money, killing people, cutting human flesh, cooking children, and we have done everything that is capable, so what! God doesn't open his eyes, the government is violent, and the rich are unkind, there is no way for the small people in this world to live, it is better for you to die than to starve to death and freeze to death! Rabbits are in a hurry and want to bite, let alone people?! ”

He Sancai's face was red, and his eyes showed a fierce light, like a beast that had lost its humanity. Li Mao couldn't help but be frightened, judging from the weathered faces of these people, they should have been simple and flat-headed people before, what forced them to become murderous and cannibalistic demons, natural disasters? Man-made disaster? Or is it human nature?

In Li Mao's hand is a sharp horizontal knife, Mo Qi Shentong and his guards also have sharp knives in their hands, a good knife that will be cut in half when the hair falls on the edge of the blade, it should be effortless to cut off these eight heads, they all have a reason to die, killing them is legal, reasonable, and reasonable. But Li Mao finally put away his knife, not because of Su Qing's sad gaze, but because he really couldn't find a reason to kill them. In the year of the Great Famine, people competed to eat each other. This is a phrase that can only be read in history books, but it is vividly placed in front of me at the moment. Li Mao looked at the lead-gray sky, and his mind went blank.

Su Qing's injury was not serious, Chang Heqing's medical skills were deeply inherited by Mrs. Ge, the wound was cleaned, the medicine was applied, and there was no major problem after bandaging. Su Qing was afraid that Li Mao would embarrass the eight thieves, and as soon as the wound was treated, she hurried over, seeing that the eight people were safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and asked the nurse Meng Shi to bring a pocket of money, each of them grabbed a handful, and the eight people looked at each other, held the money given by Su Qing in the palm of their hands, and offered it to their foreheads, their faces were full of tears. Su Qing helped He Sancai up, beckoned everyone to get up, and said: "In the famine year, it is helpless to be a thief, I will not pursue it, go to Gushan Town to earn food, and when the famine year passes, you can no longer be a thief." ”

Everyone thanked them with tears, one by one reciting that Su Qing was the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva, and a thin man with thick eyebrows and big eyes put the money in his pocket, wiped his tears, put his little finger in his mouth and bit it off, pinched the severed finger and swore sharply: "I He Sancai will never do a bad thing in my life, if I violate this oath, the sky will thunder." Seeing this, the other seven men followed suit, put their little fingers in their mouths and bit them off, and made the same vow. The oath was completed, and the eight people bowed to Su Qing together, and turned around and went in the direction of Gushan Town.

As soon as the eight of them left, Mo Qi's magic power suddenly drew a knife and broke the little finger of his left hand, and suddenly the blood flowed, Li Mao said angrily: "What are you crazy about? Mo Qi Shentong gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, and said: "As a personal guard, he can't protect the main general, and his crime deserves death. Li Mao drank the medical officer Chang Heqing's treatment, and shouted: "No one is wrong, but he can change it, and he is very good, so why harm himself." When Meng Shi saw the blood on Mo Qi's divine hand, he trembled with fright, and rushed over and shouted: "Child, it was my wife who hurt you, I don't take you away, how can you make a mistake?" ”

Wow! Seeing Mo Qi's severed finger, Xiao Ru, who had just returned from Liujiazhuang, vomited as soon as she got off the horse, and Qingmo hurriedly persuaded her to step aside. At the beginning, Qingmo said that the intention of going to Liujiazhuang to buy water chestnuts was just to support Xiaoru, but Xiaoru, who was stimulated, took it seriously, and really urged Qingmo to go to the nearby Liujiazhuang, and when she really arrived in Zhuangzi, she began to sleepwalk again, and rushed back after buying a basket of random things.

Su Qing saw that the two people in his house were crying and vomiting, and he was immediately furious, and scolded sharply: "What kind of system, others haven't killed yet, and their own family will collapse first." Although it is not advisable to have divine powers, but the courage is commendable, what are you two doing with it? Stand down! With this drink, Meng Shi and Xiaoru immediately shut up, and they didn't dare to take a sip.

Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Li Mao was unwilling to stay any longer, and it happened that at this time, the carriage had been prepared again. After asking if Mo Qi's injuries were okay, he ordered to get on the car and continue on his way.

Xiao Ru still rode with Qingmo, hugging his waist, his face against his back and motionless, and Meng Shi served Mo Qi Shentong all the way and did not get into the car. Su Qing was alone and sulky, lifted the curtain, and coughed. Li Mao got off the horse and got into the carriage and sat down next to her, and a hand swam behind her back and wrapped his arms around her waist. Su Qing fell into his arms and said coquettishly: "Don't laugh at me." Li Mao said: "I didn't expect you to have such a bodhisattva heart. Su Qing dragged Li Mao's arm to lie on his stomach as a pillow, and said leisurely: "I am also accumulating virtue for you by doing this." ”

Li Mao said: "There are many thieves in the place, and it is me, the guard, who is derelict in his duties. It's not that my knife is not fast enough, it's indeed a year of catastrophe......" Su Qing said: "You don't have to explain, the current situation is too chaotic, what to do is wrong, drag it until the spring of next year to see, if the weather improves, the local government will raise some good seeds, plough cattle to make the people return to their hometowns to farm, there is a way to live, the people will naturally return to their hometowns, and then send troops to recruit at that time will not accidentally hurt good people." Li Mao said seriously: "Su Qing is really not long-sighted when she is reincarnated as a woman, tsk, how many people can match such a man with eyebrows?" ”

Su Qing said proudly: "That is, if it weren't for your face, I would be able to clean up all of your people." Su Qing was still a little resentful of Mo Qi's supernatural power for not obeying his orders. Li Mao knew her thoughts, and he didn't match her, but patted her thigh and sang an excerpt from the Henan opera "Mulan":

"Brother Liu's speech is too biased,

Who says women enjoy leisure?

Men fight to the border,

Women spinning in the homeland.

Go to the farm during the day,

Come and spin at night,

Work hard day and night,

Only the soldiers can have this food and clothing.

If you don't believe it,

Look at the body,

Our shoes and socks,

And clothes and shirts

These thousands of stitches are all where they are. ”

Su Qing covered his ears and screamed unpleasantly, Li Mao smiled embarrassedly: "The song is a good song, but I can't sing it, and I am embarrassed to the predecessors of Henan Opera." Okay, I'll sing you another Huangmei opera "Husband and Wife Return Home". Ahem, the birds on the trees ......" The sound is like a blunt knife cracking, sharp and piercing, but the lyrics and songs are very appropriate, Su Qing is happy, and he also hums.

The couple entertained themselves, singing happily, only suffering a group of entourage, Qingmo asked Xiaoru for a handkerchief, hissed and ripped off a piece, and then hissed into two small balls and stuffed it into his ears, and gave the rest to Mo Qi's magical power, Xiaoru saw that his beloved handkerchief was divided by five horses, tears shook in the circles of his eyes, and heard the laughter of Li Mao and Su Qing in the carriage, and couldn't help crying.
