Chapter 3, Section 34, The Devil Killer
Thirty-four: The devil killer
Wang Mingming followed the devil's team slowly from a distance. She hadn't gone far when she saw a gate on the side of the street, and two devils were standing guard in front of it. The sentry saw the patrol team returning and saluted them with their guns. The team of devils walked into the compound in unison.
The hard work paid off, Wang Mingming finally found the den of this gang of robbers, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and secretly scolded: "Damn devils, I finally found your nest." Wait, for the sake of my dead compatriots, I will clean you up one by one, and your time of death will come. ”
In order not to attract the attention of the devil, she walked slowly across the street, she looked carefully into the yard, the patrol team had been disbanded, and the devils in the yard were still exercising. There was a truck parked on the edge of the playground. The courtyard is very high-walled, with several bungalows and two wolf dogs tethered in front of the door. There is no special place anymore. Across the street in front of the gate is a vegetable patch. On the side of the vegetable patch is a dirt road leading to an alley at both ends.
Wang Mingming is no stranger to Xiaozhuang, she and her classmates have come here to play. And adults also came here to catch the fair, rushed to the temple fair. He was familiar with the main streets here, but she was not familiar with the potholes, cramps, and rivers here, and she had to find out the topography of the place if she wanted to kill devils here. Not at all.
She walked further forward and was a crossroads. The street at one end leads to the road, and at the other end to the fields, which are not far from the hillside. She turned the corner into an alley into the street that led to the hillside, and she saw the devil's yard. There is no back door in the yard, and farmland is outside the wall. She figured out all the front and back of the devil's compound, she figured out the location of her action in the vegetable field, the time of her action was in the second half of the night, and the target of the attack was the devil's sentry.
She looked at the direction and path of entry, the route to exit and where to retreat in case of unexpected situations. She was very happy with her plan.
She went out into the street and bought a black dress, a black cloth, light shoes and other things. The sun was setting in the west before she returned to the mountains. She watered the vegetable patch, took her bow and arrow, and examined it carefully, before she slept beautifully.
She woke up in the night, and it was overcast. The wind blowing from the river was strong, and the wind roared through the woods, sometimes with a piercing scream. She was happy with the weather. Looking up at the night sky, he said, "God help me." She moved her shin a bit, and every day at this time she was in a particularly high spirit. She knew she was going to be a different person by this point. This is because in the most painful days, she relied on climbing cliffs and trees to vent her anger in her heart, and she unknowingly became another person. Not only does she walk like flying, but the darker it gets, the brighter her eyes and the clearer she sees. The most incomprehensible thing is that when she runs, her legs seem to be the same length.
She spread out the hair that was coiled at the back of her head, covered her eyes with a black cloth, and pierced the back of her head along with the hair. She put on her night gown and fastened her belt. Tighten the cuffs and trouser legs. With a bow and arrow on his back, a gust of wind descended the mountain. She hid in the vegetable patch opposite the devil's compound according to the situation she had explored during the day.
The gate of the courtyard was closed, and in front of the door there was a lantern that swayed in the wind. Two devils standing guard walked back and forth with guns in hand. There are no wolfdogs in front of the door. She thought that if there was a wolfdog in front of the gate, she would shoot the wolfdog first.
She looked around and saw no movement. Look at the two devils carefully with confidence, the devils slowly walk face to face with the muzzle of the gun, and after passing by, they become back-to-back.
She took her bow and arrows and waited for the devil to move back to back. She gritted her teeth, thinking to herself that this would be an extraordinary night, a night when the devils were paying the price for their sins. It was the night when he declared war on the devils. From now on, the devil will live in fear like years.
She had never thought about it like this when she was hunting. At this time, her reason made her nervous, what if her arrow didn't turn out to be a devil. She gasped.
To calm herself, she turned to look at the fields on the other side of the vegetable patch, which looked at her quietly under the gloomy sky at night. As if to say don't think so much, tonight is the same as usual, there is nothing special. Seize the opportunity and act fast.
Her mood calmed down. She complained that she had waited a long time for the day of killing devils. How panicked when it came to revenge. It was the opportunity to kill the devil that came too suddenly, and the excessive excitement caused the tension. I still can't believe in my archery, and I'm afraid of missing it. Maybe both. She encouraged herself not to be afraid, to believe in herself, and to be firm in her beliefs. It is necessary to condense the hatred of the devil on the arrow.
She resolutely turned around and saw that the devil was passing by, and when the opportunity came, she suddenly entered the state and saw that the devil's neck was as thick as a cow's neck. She quickly drew her bow with an arrow and shot at the devil standing guard with the ability to shoot the flying pheasant and the running rabbit. Only an arrow was heard swishing through the devil's throat, and he fell. The other devil heard the noise and turned to see his companion lying on the ground, and before he could react to what was going on, Wang Mingming's arrow went into his throat. He shook his body and did not fall immediately.
Wang Mingming took an arrow and was about to shoot him, when the devil fell. The two devils didn't say a word and died. Wang Mingming looked around, but there was no movement. She cleverly ran across the street to see that the devil was dead, she pulled out the arrow on the devil's throat, took out charcoal from her arms and wrote a few big words on the snow-white wall: "The daughter of Jinling, the devil killer." ”
She breathed a sigh of relief when she finished writing and saw that there was no movement around her, and she looked at the big words on the wall, every word was full of accusations of blood and tears. All are burning with the flames of anger. The wolfdogs in the yard barked fiercely. She knew that the wolfdog must have smelled the blood of the dead and the smell of the living. She didn't leave the vegetable field according to her plan, she was afraid that the wolfdog of the devil would come after her smell. She ran through the street as fast as she could. There was a peasant straw dog lying on its stomach on the street, and when it saw a black shadow speeding past it, leaving it with a gust of wind, it was so frightened that it went into the alley with its tail between its legs.
A hurried whistle sounded behind Wang Mingming. The whistle showed that the devil was messed up, which made her very excited. She ran to the end of the street and ran along the track into a river that was only a foot deep, and the river flowed south along the mountain, and she ran a few miles south with the water in the river, and she thought that the wolf dog could no longer smell her, so she ran out of the river and ran down the ridge to the northwest.
She went up the hill and saw devils in the distance with flashlights, some on the street, some scurrying around in the fields. The shouts of the devils and the barking of the wolfdogs were chaotic. A team of devils, led by wolfdogs, chased her along the route of her escape. The wolfdog reached the river and rushed desperately across the river. For a moment the wolfdog lost its bearings. Spinning around with devils.
Wang Ming smiled at the devil with contempt and said, "Damn devil, your good days are ahead, wait." Jinling's daughters will send you to the west one by one. ”
She returned to the mountain and hid her bow and arrows and nightwalking clothes in a small hole in a cliff. She walked back to the courtyard, closed the door, and slept beautifully.
The next day, Boss Li and they came, and they came with three carts and seven people. They brought their tools and got to work with great fanfare.
Boss Li strode over and said, "On the way we came, we repaired the road up the mountain by the way." We brought rice, meat and wine, with your vegetables, without you cooking, and the old master cooked the rice. ”
Wang Mingming said: "Okay, I'm worried about how so many people can eat." You tell them to get some vegetables in the field first, wash them in the pond, and bring them over. Next time you come and bring me some more rice, oil, salt and matches, it's cold, I'll prepare some. In the future, you will often come and go, bringing inconvenience. ”
Boss Li said: "Boss, I have brought it to you today, which is enough for you to use for a few months." ”
