Chapter 285: Sober
The small mountain village is built on the mountain, even if dozens of people surround the mountain village, but they cannot enclose all the mountain villages, because behind the mountain village is the big mountain, and the mountain village occupies the advantage of the terrain.
People outside don't know that in order to escape the war, or to deal with some emergencies, the whole village can smoothly leave the mountain village through a secret passage and enter a hidden place in the back mountain.
That hidden cave, as long as you are not from this village, it is difficult to find.
And the area in the cave is very large, which can accommodate the old and young of the mountain village at the same time, as long as enough food is prepared, in the cave, the villagers are enough to live for a month or two.
Of course, this secret can't be hidden from the middle-aged woman, and the only place Xiaozhu can escape from is here.
The middle-aged woman was very confident, she decided that Xiaozhu and the three of them must go to the cave for refuge, and that Agui couldn't move yet, so he could only sit in a wheelchair, and they couldn't go to a place that was too steep!
The leader, with five capable men, followed the middle-aged woman from behind the largest ancestral hall in the mountain village, into a hidden cave. Through the cave, they went around to the back of the mountain.
Then, along a non-obvious mountain road, she walked on, and finally, after a quarter of an hour, the middle-aged woman stopped, pointed to the mouth of a cave in front of her, which was covered with wild grass, and said, "My lord, this is it!"
The leader hesitated for a moment, and sent two of his men in to investigate.
Soon, one of his subordinates came out to report that the situation was true, and that it was indeed a very large area, and it was a place of refuge in a mountain village.
And the chief led the men in.
In addition to the lack of food in the cave, everything else is needed, and there are more than a dozen small caves of large and small sizes, which are connected to each other.
The place of refuge was not fake, but later, the leader led people to search around, but they did not find any trace of Xiaozhu and the three people.
"Are you sure they escaped here?" the leader looked coldly at the middle-aged woman.
"It's true, the only way we can go down the mountain in our mountain village is this road!" said the middle-aged woman with certainty.
"What about the man?"
The middle-aged woman was speechless.
She knew that she couldn't find anyone, and she couldn't get the reward, so she kept looking for it just now, but there was no trace of the three people here.
"You're lying to me, playing tricks on me, deliberately luring us here so they have plenty of time to escape, right?" the leader sneered.
"My lord, I swear to God, what I say is true, or I will be damned!" said the middle-aged woman in alarm.
"Then tell me, what about the people?" said the chief, "I can't even see a figure in the cave, and you tell me that you are in the cave, are you really my fool?"
"My lord, allow me to spare some time, and I'll look for it again. ”
"Okay, I'll give you a quarter of an hour!"
The middle-aged woman hurriedly searched around, and the leader was not idle, and carefully investigated the cave again, not letting go of any clues.
But a quarter of an hour later, they were disappointed.
There were no people, the cave was closed, and there was no second passage except the exit that came in.
In other words, it is impossible for people to come in, and if they do, it is impossible not to find them!
The middle-aged woman's face turned green with fright, she couldn't imagine that there would be no one inside.
Xiaozhu is an orphan and a widow, and they are still pushing a wheelchair, if they don't escape here, where else can they go? In other places, the mountains are steep, and wheelchairs can't walk at all.
She also wanted to beg the leader to give him time, but this time the leader was disappointed in her.
"Hmph, take it!" the leader commanded his men.
Two of his men stepped forward and grabbed the middle-aged woman, who instantly became a prisoner.
"My lord, spare my life, spare my life!" The middle-aged woman was so frightened that she almost didn't pull over, her legs and stomach were weak, and she couldn't stand steadily.
"Take it back!"
The group returned to the small square of the mountain village along the same road.
Seeing the middle-aged woman being escorted back, the villagers were in a commotion. The old village chief smelled something unpleasant, and his face showed a look of worry.
The leader returned to the stage, and there was a noticeable change in attitude.
"This woman is deliberately delaying time, she is simply accomplicing the murderer, giving them a chance to escape, I will never tolerate it!" The leader changed his previous gentle side, and the whole person became extremely vicious, "Come on, behead this woman in public, to set an example!"
The audience was in chaos, the middle-aged woman was so frightened that she immediately collapsed to the ground, and her husband desperately rushed to the stone platform.
The Liang family's guards were strong, how could they let the husband break into the stone platform, and put the husband to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and tied him up with a rope.
"Little Red, Little Red, ......"
The husband's beaten mouth was bloody, and he still called his wife's name loudly. The middle-aged woman also found her conscience and struggled desperately, shouting her husband's name.
The villagers didn't do it, and rushed up, trying to break away from the guards and snatch the middle-aged woman Xiaohong back.
It's just that the guards are far stronger than they imagined, and the villagers rushed several times, but still couldn't break out of the defense line, and the first one who took the lead was beaten by the Liang family's guards and was bleeding from the head, and he was covered in injuries.
"This woman has no credibility at all, shouldn't she be punished? These are all her own faults!" the leader said coldly: "Come on, behead!"
The leader's move is Liwei, and he must use strong means to suppress the resistance of the villagers.
The old village chief stepped forward to plead, and the leader sneered: "You are an exception, I forgive you this time, if anyone is pleading, I will never spare him!"
Even the old village chief was blasted aside by the chief's men.
In front of the villagers in the mountain village, the middle-aged woman was directly beheaded.
Compared with the joy of killing Master Jia just now, the killing of the middle-aged woman this time made the atmosphere of the audience extremely depressing, and the villagers began to realize that they had lost their most basic freedom and became meat on the plan board.
The husband had already fainted in pain, and their child under the age of ten was crying, which was chilling to hear.
"Don't cry, slap your mouth!" the chief, now that he was ready to harden, he no longer had any worries.
broke out two big men, dragged the child out, and after a few slaps, the child was beaten with blood all over his mouth, and the person was also beaten stupid.
The villagers have not seen the true faces of these people until now, where they are good men and women, they are simply a group of wolves in human skin.
It's just that the law of the jungle eats the strong, strength is king, and they dare not speak out, because they have no ability to resist, so they can only choose to submit.
"Does anyone know the whereabouts of those murderers? just lead us to them, and your bounty will not change!" the leader raised his money bag high, and the coins shook as he shook them.
There was silence off the field.
Who would dare? If you don't do it, you will be beheaded again, and the most important thing is to save your life compared to money. Besides, even if they brought someone to find Xiaozhu and them, they didn't necessarily be able to spend the money.
These people turned their faces and refused to admit it, and they had no place to judge.
