Not only the villagers and their families came to see the excitement, but the old and weak women and children among the refugees also came around, Zhu Da was very strict with the refugee men Ding Qingzhuang, and they were relatively relaxed, and everyone gradually got used to it, and even liked this kind of relaxation, of course, this is also closely related to food and clothing.

When Zhu Da came to the empty field, there were already a lot of people around the empty field, according to the rules, a large number of bonfires were lit in the four corners, looking at the meaning of the New Year's Festival, the villagers and the families of the refugees were elated, but several family leaders were very nervous, they had been looking at Zhu Da's expression, and Li He, who was qualified to speak, also came over and asked, "Big brother, do you want to disperse irrelevant people, etc."

"No, the more people watching, the better." Zhu Da said coldly.

Zhu Da glanced around and found that the Dong brothers had actually come over, crowded into the crowd of people in the village and looked curiously.

"Today, the village will deal with it, and the people who have escaped will stand up." Juda took a step forward and said loudly.

As soon as he said this, all the family, messengers, and refugees in the queue suddenly fell silent, and their sudden silence made the people watching the excitement also quiet, thinking that something had happened, and the audience was silent.

Among the eighteen people led by Ji Xiaodong and Zhang Jinbei, the twelve people who escaped looked at each other with a dirty face, and looked at Zhu Da with a straight face under the firelight, all of them walked out of the queue dejectedly, after they came out of the ranks, these people suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, each of them bowed their heads deeply, if it wasn't for the fact that the ground was frozen hard, they all wanted to bury themselves, and Zhu Da shouted "Escape from the battle", everyone looked at them with disdain, which made them have a fever on their faces and no place to be ashamed.

"The escape from the battle violated the rules, according to the rules, did not cause death or injury to his companions, did not cause damage to the Grange, each man was given ten lashes, he was not allowed to eat for two days, he was trained and forced to do as usual, and he was executed." Zhu Da said coldly.

After Zhu Da finished speaking, the team that answered them came out of the ranks, and someone went to the nearby treasury to get buckets and whips, as usual they always had to be washed in water several times, and then changed to salt water and pumped, among the twelve people there were five young poor people, seven refugees, the refugees took off their shirts with sad faces, and the crying sounded in the crowd of onlookers, and quickly stopped, presumably someone covered their mouths, and the five young poor people were unconvinced, one of them stiffened his neck and said: "Why beat us, we are not from this Zhuangzi!" ”

"Can't I fight?" Zhu Da looked at him coldly and asked indifferently.

The young man who was holding his neck was looked at by Zhu Da, and the whole person immediately froze still, swallowed saliva there, was stunned for a moment, and was pushed down by his companion before he hurriedly replied: "I can fight, I can fight." ”

"You are the people in this village, and you must follow the rules here." Juda said again.

I don't know why, after Zhu Da said this, the young poor people who were going to be beaten suddenly became less resistant and aggrieved, and there were still people in the queue of young poor people on the side who mocked with contempt: "A bad seed without eggs deserves to be pumped." ”

The twelve shirtless men all knelt down, and the cleaned whips were already soaked in salt water, and the young men with the whips stood behind one of them, and three more family members stood near the executioner, who were the ones who monitored the execution, so that no one would accept it and get away with it.

Zhu Da raised his arm and slashed down, and with his gesture, the whip soaked in salt water also pulled down fiercely, and with a "snap", everyone on the lookers trembled and gasped, as if the whip was drawn on his own body, and there were children outside who were so frightened that they cried, and this time no one covered his mouth.

The whip that has eaten the salt water is aggravated, and the skin will inevitably break and bleed on the body, and the salt water will stimulate the wound, plus this is a cold and windy winter night, and the person who is whipped is really in pain, not to mention that he has to whip ten whips, it is really worse than death, and the screams are one after another, and they resound.

When the third whip was drawn, except for the sound of the whip flying and the screams of the people being whipped, the whole empty field was silent, and the villagers didn't dare to look at it, but no one dared to leave, and the Dong brothers were even more pale, thinking about what a disaster they had done.

When the sixth whip was drawn, several people who couldn't bear it were already hoarse in pain, and even the executioner's movements were hesitant, and they continued to do it under Zhu Da's unmoved expression, and everyone's faces had unbearable looks.

After the execution, the twelve people who were pumped could not stand up, or the young people helped the people up, and wrapped them in clean old clothes boiled in boiling water first, and then put on their outer clothes, this is to avoid wound infection, the twelve people who were pumped were all pale, trembling, and could not stand steadily, which is also the benefit of whipping, although the pain is incomparable, but it is not very good to hurt the muscles and bones, and because there is bleeding from the wound, it will not become an internal injury, as long as you pay attention to the wound not to get dirty.

Zhu Da's face was unmoved, he glanced at the quiet and depressing scene, and said loudly: "Ji Xiaodong and Zhang Jinbei are out of the queue." ”

Everyone who heard this was a little confused, and they didn't know why they wanted to shout these two people out, but being shouted out at this time didn't seem like a good thing, but the two of them didn't make any mistakes, and they didn't flee from the battle, and it is said that they rushed up with everyone, so they shouldn't be punished, right?

"The two of you, as the leaders, let your subordinates flee, and you should be punished, receive five lashes, and be executed." Zhu Da said coldly.

The originally quiet scene was suddenly in an uproar, and the onlookers, and even the young men in the queue were full of puzzlement, saying that these two had not made any mistakes, why should they be whipped, and what did the fault of those people below him have to do with him?

Zhu Da looked around, and the place where he could see was immediately quiet, and after the audience was silent, Zhu Da gestured to that side, this time it was Fu Yu and Meng Tian who were executed, and Zhu Da personally stared at it, and they didn't dare to play any tricks, and the five whips were drawn firmly.

Ji Xiaodong and Zhang Jinbei were much stronger than the twelve people who were whipped before, no matter how painful it was, they only snorted and didn't scream, but after five whips, they stood up and trembled with pain, and their faces were pale.

After the execution was over, everyone in the middle and outside the field looked at Zhu Da, looking at this sturdy young man in the light of the fire, and thought, no one will be caught and whipped again, right?

Zhu Da took a few steps forward, found a slightly higher place and stood up, before he could speak, two people rushed out of the crowd next to him, and before someone went to stop them, they knelt down from a distance, and they saw that it was the Dong family brothers.

Kneeling more than 20 steps away, of course there was no way to communicate, Zhu Da arranged for someone to bring the Dong brothers to him, before and after, the Dong brothers still didn't dare to stand, they were still busy kneeling, the two brothers were full of frightened looks, and couldn't stop looking at the fourteen people who were whipped by the whip, the younger brother Dong Bao kowtowed and said: "Master, all the mistakes are the fault of the little brother, it shouldn't involve so many people to suffer, the little brother should also be whipped, please punish the master." ”

The scene was a little noisy, and many people present knew the ins and outs of what happened outside the village in the afternoon, and when they saw these two come out, they knew that they were the "culprits", and many people looked at them with bad eyes.

"It has nothing to do with you, tomorrow you are the people of this Zhuangzi, if you are already my family, and suddenly run out to disturb during the execution, I will be executed and dealt with now, stand back." Zhu Da said solemnly.

The Dong brothers didn't expect to be scolded like this, and for a while they had great awe of the "rules" that Zhu Da said, and after they returned to the team, Zhu Da raised his voice and said: "Do you think I'm making a fuss, no one is hurt, why do you want to be punished, have you thought about it, what if it's a thief?" Their escape from the battle will make this Zhuangzi be broken by thieves, and all the people in this Zhuangzi will suffer because of their cowardice, or even die, won't this kind of mischief be dealt with? ”

“...... If you are not punished for escaping this time, you will not learn a lesson, and you will do it next time, this time you didn't kill your companions, what about next time? This time I came to defect, but what about next time? ......”

“...... Everyone in this Zhuangzi to endure hardships and training, work hard to eat food, earn a food and clothing for themselves and their families, for themselves, for their families not to freeze and starve to death in this ice and snow, to eat and dress warmly, and to protect the food and clothing of your family. Do you want to kill yourself, kill everyone here? ......”

Zhu Da's words are actually not very clear in logic, but what he said is to put himself in his shoes, everyone who hears these words has a feeling, think about the hunger and cold when he was wandering, think about the despair and fear of freezing and starving to death at that time, and then think about the current life, you can see the smiles of your family and companions every day, you can eat and dress warmly, although the tricks practiced every day are a little strange, but these inexplicable tricks make people feel decent, people habitually don't think too far, everyone is used to this kind of life, and thought it would last for a long time, but after experiencing the incident in the afternoon, after hearing Zhu Da's words, everyone suddenly realized that all this is so fragile, and everyone needs to do their best to maintain and protect it, and everyone's cowardice and cowering will make it all disappear......

After thinking about all this, everyone suddenly realized that the cruel punishment in front of them did not have nothing to do with their own family, these poor people are not worthy of pity, because their cowardice and escape from the battle will make everything in front of them come to naught, where is such a person worthy of pity, it is obviously hateful, everyone looks at the past differently, not to mention that it is a refugee, even the original residents of the grange are resentful, and among the families of the refugees, some people scolded loudly: "Kuroko, you beast who doesn't know what to do, The master saved our whole family, gave us food, gave us a place to live, you are such a bad seed, what a shame for our Zhao family! ”
