Chapter 40 (4) The Red Lotus Flourishes
The man was foaming at the mouth of the man, and he kept blowing the conch silently, which made Shi Suo a little bored to hear it, and he said to Dafeng: "Didn't you say that you want to kill someone?" What is old Rory doing in a rambling manner. He turned his head and asked Duan Laosan, "Old Duan, they want to kill people in a while, can we save them?" ”
Duan Laosan whispered, "Let's take a look first." If these people are just bragging and pretending to be ghosts, we don't have to pay attention to it. If it is really indiscriminate killing of innocents, you can't see death without saving. ”
The man with the knife on his back nagged for a while, walked off the stage, and two middle-aged people came up, one of them was fat and holding a piece of paper, and said: "The Southern Demon Immortal Society, the scourge of the common people, and the demons confuse the public, I will read the ten major crimes of this demon society ......to everyone" He began to read out the "Ten Sins of the Immortal Society" according to the paper, Shi Suo and Dafeng became more and more tired of listening, Ding Changyou shook his head, and whispered: "Old Duan, it's not right." ”
"I don't think it's right either." Duan Laosan said.
At this time, the fat man on the stage finished reciting the "Ten Deadly Sins of the Demon Society", and the thin man next to him said: "Old and young masters, this so-called Immortal Society is purely a pit and abduction, who wants to believe their words, what will happen?" The fat man said: "Needless to say, it must be full of demonic spirits, and it is difficult to save your life." The thin man said: "What should we do with the people of the Demon Society...... On the stage, this fat and thin person is like talking about cross talk, singing and harmonizing, Rory is verbose and says words to slander the Immortal Society over and over again, but there is nothing new in it, and the stone lock is tired of listening, "Isn't it to kill people?" Why don't you hurry up, what kind of grinding on the stage. ”
"Shi Suo, look at these people in the courtyard," Ding Changyou said softly: "Today's situation is completely wrong, ordinary gangs organize incense halls, where is this?" They had neither a ritual nor a specific purpose, and only scolded the Immortal Society for a long time under the guise of 'killing people', which was wrong. ”
When Shi Suo heard this, he felt reasonable, and quietly looked at the people in the courtyard, and sure enough, in addition to the ordinary people who came to see the excitement, there were some strong men in the crowd, scattered in all directions of the courtyard, forming a "big surrounding" posture, and some people did not listen to the people on the stage, but looked left and right intentionally or unintentionally, and looked really suspicious.
One fat and one thin got off the stage, and the man with the big knife on his back came up again and said loudly: "Now, the auspicious time has come, stand on the ground to kill the demon, and bring the demon to the stage." ”
The people in the courtyard were excited, today's most "exciting" show was finally going to be staged, and everyone stretched their necks and watched forward. At this time, two men in red scarves came out of the house, carrying a short man, who came to the stage with his arms tied behind his back and a black mask on his head, so that he could not see his true face. was dragged by two men, one left and one right, and dragged and brought to the stage.
After all, killing people in public is too important, in the past, when the official family killed criminals, they had to find an execution ground and send someone to suppress the scene.
"Oh my God, they're going to kill." Mrs. Ji's eyes widened as well.
The man on the stage took the big knife off his back, raised it into the air, and said loudly: "Demon, where are you fleeing?" ”
Ding Changyou, Duan Laosan and others, watching the man's movements, remained silent, Shi Suo was a little anxious, and whispered, "I'll go on stage." ”
"Not busy," Duan Laosan stopped him, "You see, he doesn't seem to want to kill." ”
The man was holding a knife and was about to cut off the prisoner with his head covered, but his eyes were rolling around, looking at the crowd in the audience. In the audience, people exclaimed softly, and some turned their faces away, not daring to look again.
Dafeng was a little anxious, and pulled Duan Laosan by the hand, Duan Laosan was staring closely at the tied "prisoner" on the stage, he turned his head and said: "Don't worry, you see, that prisoner has nothing to say that he is afraid, besides, his hood is a layer of tulle, outsiders can't see the face clearly, but he can see outside, there must be ghosts here." ”
"The red lotus is prosperous, and the demon is the head." The man with the knife shouted loudly, seeing that the knife was about to fall.
The people in the audience were in a panic, some people covered their eyes, and suddenly a scorching smell spread in the courtyard, and the pyre, green smoke and flames came out, and the fireworks were blown by the wind, and instantly jumped several feet high.
At the same time, two figures jumped on the stage, one of them flew up and kicked the man with the knife, and the other went straight to the kidnapped prisoner. The person who shouted was the strong man who had been caught by the stone lock.
At this time, there was a great chaos in the courtyard, and the smoke and fire were accompanied by the appearance of assassins, and countless people screamed, shouting and wanting to run out, but several people wearing red turbans, I don't know when, were already guarding the gate, holding a bright big knife in their hands, gesturing and scolding, not allowing people to run out, some people were in a hurry, and went to break through the gate, and some people climbed to the wall.
Mrs. Ji and the others turned around and ran out, and at the gate, two men with knives shouted, "No one is allowed to leave." "People were yelling and pulling and pulling at the doorman. One of the men in the red turban took a knife and shouted, "Whoever dares to run again will be killed with one sword." ”
As soon as his words came out, suddenly his right arm was numb, and he was pinched, and the big knife fell to the ground, almost hitting the surface of his foot, and then he was pulled by someone, and his body staggered and crooked to the side.
The person who pulled him was Mr. Ji, this wilted man moved his hands, but it was as fast as lightning, and he dragged the doorman down, and then broke out, Mrs. Ji and others followed closely behind him, and suddenly the knife flashed in front of him, and the other two people wearing red turbans slashed at each other with knives.
The people who rushed to the door, seeing that the guards were really slashing with knives, were so frightened that they hid back, Mr. Ji rushed up with the knife, and slashed his arms left and right, and the person holding the knife pounced forward and fell backwards, and they were all knocked to the ground by Mr. Ji.
"Okay," Shi Suo couldn't help but cheer.
Mr. Ji knocked down the doorman and rushed out with everyone, and when Mrs. Ji walked through the door, she also kicked the guard who was knocked down by her husband and let out a "puff". Behind him, the panicked people poured out of the gate.
Duan Laosan and the others didn't run away in a hurry, shrank back, looked at the fight on the stage, and saw that the platform had become a fighting field, and the two people who rushed to the high platform to rescue the prisoner had been besieged at this time. Nearby, the executioner with a knife was kicked down by the Assassin who suddenly burst onto the stage, but he got up and continued the fight. (To be continued.) )
