Chapter 105: Divine General? Scourge?
Lai Xing'er shot again with lightning speed, completely shattering the thieves' courage, and everyone muttered in their hearts: Look at this little lieutenant is only sixteen years old, he has just become an adult, and he usually doesn't have anything extraordinary. I can't afford to look for a guy who is bad luck under his sword and loses his neck to eat.
"General Mingjian, the general spares his life. The two of them were the only ones who started the killing, and we just stood on the sidelines and watched the fun. In the future, we will not dare to do anything wrong, but we will ask the general to spare our lives. ”
The sergeants scrambled to say goodbye to Lai Xing'er.
"The last general has no way to govern the army, and he is really ashamed and unbearable to suffer this catastrophe for Uncle Ding's family, and he is willing to cut off his finger and make amends to Uncle Ding's family."
Lai Xing'er glared at the sergeants in disgust, turned around and swung his sword to cut off the little finger of his left hand.
"The general must not accept it on behalf of others." The two elderly villagers rushed over with a scream, blocking Lai Xing'er's sword with their bodies.
"We are originally small people in the mountains and wilderness, and we have lived a handful of years, and we have never seen much of the world." One of the white-bearded villagers dragged Lai Xing'er's sword-raising arm and begged with tears in his eyes, "The general is willing to uphold justice for our small people in the mountains and fields, and personally killed the perpetrators, how can we disregard our conscience and force the general to take responsibility for his crimes?" Son, I have thanked the general for his great kindness for the honest family."
Lai Xing'er can't tell what kind of feeling is in his heart at the moment. The magnanimity and reasonableness of the villagers made him feel extremely disgusted with the officers and soldiers to whom he had joined.
"A few of you, go and help the elders in the village to find a suitable place to bury Uncle Ding's family properly." Lai Xing'er picked up the two elderly villagers and ordered the sergeants behind him in a deep voice, "Tonight, all those who stand aside and watch the two of them kill will all kneel in front of the grave of Uncle Ding's family to guard their filial piety and make amends, and they will not be allowed to sleep." ”
More than a dozen sergeants rushed forward as if they had been granted amnesty, and they were about to move the corpses of the Din's family.
"Wait." The white-bearded villager got up and stopped in front of them, "The villagers will take care of the aftermath of the honest family, so they won't have to work hard for the military masters." If it's convenient for the general, let's take these military masters and leave our Songtai Village as soon as possible. ”
Lai Xing'er knew that in the eyes of the villagers, these soldiers were no different from bandits, and the villagers no longer wanted to mess with them, so he instructed them: "Since the villagers don't want you to stay in the village any longer, you should immediately get out of the village and wait at the foot of the mountain." When the matter in my village is over, I will deal with you. ”
The sergeants were eager to leave this small mountain village that frightened them a moment earlier, and when they heard that Lai Xing'er had this order, they all hurriedly turned over their horses, and several of them did not forget to take the bodies of the two sergeants who were killed by Lai Xing'er with them, and the group fled from Songtai Village in disgrace under the angry gaze of the villagers.
"General, this is your mount. The eldest brother of the Ding family accidentally injured it before he died, and we can't compensate you on his behalf. ”
A sturdy young descendant led the little white dragon, approached Lai Xing'er, and said to him a little shyly.
Lai Xing'er had heard the sergeants say that Xiao Bailong was injured, but he didn't care about it because of the tragic killing of Ding Laoshi's family. At this time, seeing the young descendant leading the little white dragon in front of him, he couldn't help but reach out and stroke its long mane lovingly, and got closer to observe the injuries on its body, and vaguely saw that the little white dragon's lower abdomen was speckled with blood. Lai Xing'er's heart tightened, and he quickly reached out a hand, carefully touching the abdomen of the little white dragon, trying to find the wound, but the tentacles only felt that the blood oozing out had congealed into lumps, and only found a shallow wound near the front leg, so he knew that it was not seriously injured, so he put his heart down.
The folk customs here are so simple that they apologize to themselves for the innocent villagers who were killed! Lai Xing'er's eyes were hot, and two tears quietly flowed down her cheeks.
"I'll help my fathers take care of the aftermath of Uncle Ding's family." Lai Xing'er pleaded earnestly with the white-bearded villagers.
"Alas, it's hard for the general to have such a heart for the honest family." The villager sighed, pointed at the young descendant with his hand, and instructed, "Xiaoshi, usually belongs to you and the hometown family is the closest, so you will take the descendants of the village to build the spiritual shed first, and our old brother will give up his longevity, and the honest family will not be wronged after death." If the general is interested, after the mourning shed is erected, he only needs to burn a pillar of incense in front of the spirit of the honest family, and the memorial service is enough. ”
He seemed to have some status in the village, and the young descendant whom he called Little Stone listened to his words, waved his hand, and began to get busy with seven or eight young villagers.
Lai Xing'er bent down and prepared to work with the villagers to move the remains of Ding Laoshi's family to be buried, but was stopped by the villagers with hundreds of beards.
"Uncle, the death of Uncle Ding's family is all caused by the failure of the last general to restrain his subordinates, so let me take a little bit of my heart." Lai Xing'er didn't stop, and he and a villager picked up Ding Laoshi's body and was about to leave.
The elderly villager was so panicked that he waved his hand at Xing'er and said, "This is absolutely unacceptable. General, can you take a step to speak, I have something to ask for, old man. ”
Seeing that he said solemnly, Lai Xing'er couldn't help but wonder in his heart, so he handed over Ding Laoshi's body to another villager, followed him a few steps away, and asked, "Uncle, is there anyone else who killed the murderer?" Don't be afraid, but if you say it, I will never spare him. ”
"The general misunderstood." The white-bearded villager shook his head and replied, "The murderer was just disposed of by the general's thunderbolt, and I only saw this, so I dared to beg the general to take Xiaoshi to serve as a soldier." ”
Lai Xing'er had a good impression of Xiaoshi, but he didn't understand why the old man in front of him suddenly proposed to take Xiaoshi away as a soldier at this time, so he didn't immediately agree, and asked with curiosity: "Uncle, why did you remember to say this, who is Xiaoshi?" ”
The white-bearded villager turned his head to look around to make sure that there was no one nearby, then he lowered his voice and replied mysteriously: "Don't tell the general, that this baby Xiaoshi has only come to our village for less than a month, and it has caused such a big disaster in our village. Lao'er, I look at the general's appearance and skills, it is clear that the heavenly soldiers and gods will descend to the mortal world, and I only hope that you can bring down this calamity, so that our whole village will no longer have to be affected by him. Therefore, he begged the general to take him away as soon as possible, so that he would not be left in the village and cause more harm to more people. (To be continued.) )
