"Give them, give them!" As soon as the old man's words fell, a thin young man opened his eyes in horror and shouted: "I give them my daughter-in-law, we can't afford to offend the bandits......"

"Shut up!" Before the man's words fell, Liu Wei, who was standing next to Erhanniang, glared at him hatefully.

"You're still not a man?" angrily reprimanded the man who took two steps back timidly, Liu Wei squatted in front of Erhanniang, who was crying loudly, reached out to hold the spear that pierced through the skull, pulled out the spear, stood up, held the spear high, turned around in place facing the villagers, the facial muscles twitched violently a few times, and shouted to the villagers: "Folks, this spear is a murder weapon pierced through Erhan's head, when you see it, do you just think of tolerating and letting the bandits bully and slaughter?" ”

In the face of Liu Wei's questioning, all the villagers looked miserable, only Yuan Fu raised his face, and his expression faintly revealed something different from others.

"Good, good!" Seeing the sadness on the faces of the villagers, but no one answered his words, Liu Wei slowly put down the hand holding the spear, turned his head and pointed at Er Han Niang, who was holding the bloody head, and shouted to the villagers: "Er Han is such an honest and honest person!" Yesterday he also gave me two eggs, and I still keep them, and I don't want to eat them. Today, his body is in a different place, and he can't even find his body! Do you think that these bandits have lost their conscience and killed even people like him? ”

"But they are bandits...... as soon as Liu Wei's words fell, an old man in the village responded tremblingly: "We are all village husbands, how can we get them ......?"

"Then we're going to straighten our heads and have them cut off?" Before the old man's words fell, Liu Wei opened his eyes and said with a little annoyance in his tone: "They are a group of bandits with no humanity, they want more than just money!" It's not just food! It's not just women! They want the lives of all of us! ”

"My life was picked up from the field by the villagers!" Looking at the villagers who were speechless by him, Liu Wei clenched the hand holding the spear tightly, and then said: "I watched the villagers drive away a group of hungry wolves, and there is no shortage of bloody men who are so brave that even hungry wolves can drive away, why don't they dare to take up arms to defend their homes, relatives and neighbors when they are bullied by bandits?" ”

Liu Wei's words aroused the blood in the chests of most of the young villagers who lived by hunting on weekdays, and many young men raised their heads and looked at him without blinking.

"They want twenty young girls and ten carts of grain and grass today, and tomorrow they will want fifty girls and a hundred carts of grain and grass!" Holding the spear stained with Erhan's blood in his hand, Liu Wei looked around at the villagers standing around, and shouted angrily: "Maybe some people think that women are used for sacrifice, but I want to tell you today, no!" The women in the village are our siblings! They work hard every day, doing laundry, cooking, carrying water and chopping wood for you, and giving birth to children for the men! Each of us is born and raised by a woman! When the crisis is imminent, we have to sacrifice them to please the bandits, and let them be bullied by the bandits, are we still men? Even if we send it this time, what about next time? And next time? How many girls in the village can send them over? How much ration can be used to feed the bandits? ”

When Liu Wei said this, Tao Huanniang behind Tao Hu looked at him, and her tearful eyes once again flashed with obsession.

The status of women in this world is very low, and many times men will sacrifice women for their own interests, and she has never heard similar words from any man to Liu Wei, which moved her to tears. And most of the other women around me are the same.

"Sibling sisters", these four words seem ordinary, but in the ears of women, they contain a strong warmth.

"In the face of bandits whose desires are difficult to fill, weakness will only make us suffer from their bullying, and sooner or later we will be driven to a dead end!" Liu Wei looked around at the villagers and said to them: "I know that everyone wants to be stable, they all want to live well, as long as they can barely survive, they are not willing to resist." But others have put the knife on our necks, so should we still have illusions about them, and expect their conscience to be discovered? ”

"These thieves have come to bully us in order to live a free life, to have food, drink and women! If you have a herd of pigs that won't resist, will you not kill them when you're hungry? They just treat us as pigs in captivity, and if we don't resist, we will be killed by them sooner or later! ”

Seeing that everyone's emotions were finally stirred, Liu Wei raised the hand holding the spear, and then pointed the spear to the ground, taking advantage of the situation and shouting loudly: "However, as long as we dare to resist, we will have the advantage of victory-because the opponent never expected us to dare to resist, and this is an area that everyone is familiar with hunting on weekdays, and the time, place and people are on our side." As long as we dare to resist, as long as we secretly find a place for them to rest, as long as we plan a sneak attack, just like hunting, and see the enemy as a pack of hungry wolves, then with the strong skills of our brothers in hunting, can't we eliminate the down-and-out bandits who fled to us in embarrassment? ”

"Sir is right!" At this point, Yuan Fu squeezed out from behind everyone and shouted to the villagers: "Enough seeds, copy the guys with me, find that nest of thieves and kill them!" If you are willing to be a pig, go to the house and go to the nest! ”

"Fight!" The men in the village are all bloody men who hunt in the mountains all year round, where can they stand being slaughtered like pigs? Except for the man who had just said that he was going to give his daughter-in-law to the bandits, who was hunched over and hid aside, the young men all raised their arms high and shouted loudly.

In the face of the rising fighting spirit of the men, the old people in the village did not say anything to stop it.

A waterwheel irrigated the land of the whole village, which was equivalent to saving the whole village, young and old, in the minds of the villagers, Liu Wei at this time was already like a god-like existence. And what he said was not wrong with reason, so naturally no one came out to oppose it.

"Sir, take a step to speak." The third uncle standing in the crowd lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then exchanged glances with several old men, and then walked up to Liu Wei, lowered his voice and invited him to the side to speak.

followed the third uncle to the side, and before Liu Wei could ask why he was carrying someone else, the third uncle said to him: "Little Lao'er has been in the village for decades, and I have never heard of a bandit nearby. It's just that the gentleman is just a newcomer, but how do you know that they have just escaped to this neighborhood......

"It's easy to judge." Liu Wei nodded and said to the third uncle: "These bandits are passing by. If they are bandits who rob here all year round, they must rely on the nearby villages to feed them, and they will definitely not kill people easily, nor will they rob the women in the nearby villages. The group of bandits who killed Erhan either didn't plan to stay here permanently, or they simply passed by from here and robbed the account. ”

"Sir is really discerning, but I don't know what Mr. plans to do this time to fight with the bandits?" After listening to Liu Wei's analysis, the third uncle's admiration for him deepened, and he believed more and more that he could lead the young people in the village to defeat the thieves this time, and hurriedly asked about his plan.

"I also have to bother the third uncle, and find the leader who goes out hunting on weekdays in the village." Liu Wei's eyelids squinted slightly, and then he raised his eyes to look at the third uncle and said: "If you fight hard, the villagers have never fought after all, I am worried that even if there are many people, they may not be able to beat the bandits who make a living by looting. ”

Looking at Liu Wei standing in front of him, the third uncle at this time had a feeling that he had lived in vain for decades, an old man like him with decades of life experience was now so ignorant in front of a big child who looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old at most.

Erhan Niang has been carried by several women to pick up the head and go home, Liu Wei and the third uncle walked side by side in front of the villagers, before the third uncle spoke, he first said to the villagers: "Don't hide it from the villagers, this time you have to fight with the bandits, there will inevitably be some casualties, who is the only son in the family, go home first, don't cut off the incense at home." If there are many brothers, go back to one. ”

None of the men around moved, and everyone turned their attention to Liu Wei.

"The only son in the family, each of them went home. If there are many brothers, go home alone! Seeing that no one moved, Liu Wei repeated what he had just said.

This time, several men stood up and stood in front of Liu Bian, and one of them raised his head and said loudly: "We are all only sons, but we are also bloody men, won't we go home to be pigs to be slaughtered?" I can't wait! Except for going home, everything else is at the mercy of the gentleman! ”

Several men were resolute, and from their expressions, Liu Wei could see that they would never go back, so they had to nod and say, "Okay, once the fight starts, be careful!" ”

"Those who lead the way when they go into the mountains to hunt come to the gentleman, and the gentleman has something to command." The third uncle on the side waited for Liu Wei to finish speaking, and shouted at the group of men.

More than a dozen men immediately stood up, and under the leadership of Yuan Fu, they arched their hands towards Liu Weiyi, and said in unison: "Sir, but there is an order, I will not give up until I die!" ”

Liu Wei didn't speak, just waved his hand at Yuanfu and the others, and went straight out of the village with the horseshoe prints they left when they entered the village along the bandits.

The horseshoe prints disappeared by the river, squatting next to a few horseshoe prints on the edge of the riverbed, Liu Wei reached out and pulled out a piece of fresh soil from one of the hoof prints, and twisted it with his hand to look at the opposite side of the riverbank.

"How many villages are there around here, and how far is the nearest one from here?" Rubbing the dirt in his hand, Liu Wei asked the people behind him.

"The nearest village is more than twenty miles away." When Liu Wei asked about the nearby villages, Tao Hu hurriedly replied: "The villages in the mountains are far away, and most of the two villages are dozens of miles away. ”

"They're not far from here. If I were to rob, I wouldn't go far and go to a village dozens of miles away. After looking at the other side for a while, Liu Wei shook off the soil in his hand, stood up and said to Yuanfu: "Brother Yuanfu, do you think if we can find them if we cross the river?" ”

"It's hard! If they burrow into the mountains, there is no way to find them. After Liu Wei asked this sentence, Yuan Fu lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said to Liu Wei: "The mountain is too big, and there are many plants and trees in the mountains, even if you can find the horseshoe prints outside the mountain, the fallen leaves in the mountains and forests will help them cover up the hoof prints, and it is not so easy to find them." ”
