Chapter 55: Deserving of Death
Qingjun, Northern Expedition Village.
Thirty miles further north of the village is the village of Pimple. For the people of the Northern Expedition Village, a few words with the pimple village on weekdays can bring a sense of superiority.
It's your pimple village that hits, this is a sentence that the villagers of the Northern Expedition Village hang on their lips every day. Legend has it that Emperor Taizu thought about losing his land in Beiding, and when he was looking for a micro-service, he passed by such a place where rabbits don't, and casually called the Northern Expedition, of course, this is just to forcibly attach to the ancestors, and put some gold on his face, thinking of going out and boasting to people about how many generations he has passed, and the ancestors of our family have also seen the emperor. It's hard to count.
The name of the Northern Expedition Village, the most well-documented record, is more than two hundred years ago, there was a person in the village who read and read and became a stupid showman, failed the imperial examination three times in a row, and had to talk about what the examiner did not understand the article. At that time, the village chief was also illiterate, and felt that the Northern Expedition Village sounded so imposing, and patted his head and made it a certainty, from which the Northern Expedition Village got its name.
But apart from bickering, there seems to be nothing else to show off. They are all facing the loess with their backs to the sky, the poor jingle sound, and the family smashes pots and sells iron, and they can't make up a few dollars of silver.
Now when every family is busy with farming, they are farming in the fields, and they let their five or six-year-old dolls walk blindly on the dirt road, if they can go to other people's houses and eat a meal or two steamed buns, it will be more worry-free. Anyway, don't worry about what happens, you are used to being wild outside, and you are not afraid to run outside the village, where to go to beg for a bowl of water, no one can bear to refuse a half-grown child, and if you have a good heart, you will give a few fruits. When you are tired of playing, you go back to your own field to pick a few buds and ears of rice, even if you go back and be scolded, you can't take care of it.
Compared with those sixteen or seventeen-year-old children who began to take care of household affairs, these are really the most innocent age, and they don't even understand vanity and the sorrows of life, looking at the clouds in the sky that look like yellow dogs raised at home, they can giggle for a long time.
The pond at the entrance of the village, now the weather is a little cold, but a few children are half naked, not too cold, just playing and chasing each other, the little fat man in the back because of his clumsy body, can not catch up with the front of the few, is humming and panting, and then secretly glanced at the inconspicuous tea stall at the head of the village.
The owner of that was Wang Shouyi, who used to help in a large family in the county, got a leprosy because he was a serious illness when he was a child, and everyone called him Wang Bald, and he was not angry, and he only knew that he was smirking and working hard every day. A few days ago, I didn't know what kind of good luck I had handed over, and I suddenly had extra money in my hand, and I repaired the dilapidated house at home that didn't shelter from the rain, and I had to send the matchmaker to talk about the widow named Xiu'er in the village. That lady really has a bit of a posture, every time the little fat man sees it, he lowers his head, his face is red and his heart beats hard, but he is a hundred times more beautiful, compared with the two girls in today's tea stall, it is also the sun and the moon compared to cow dung, no, even cow dung is not as good.
"Miss Qin, Miss Wu, sit. Wang Shouyi beckoned, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, he just blindly looked down at the surface of his feet and said, the snow-white cloth towel wiped the stool coated with red oil and wiped it again, and almost wiped off a layer of red oil, which was really clumsy and cramped.
Wu Muxin smiled and said a word of annoyance, and then sat down.
"I'm afraid my sister has never been to this kind of mountain village, but the spring water here is very sweet, the most suitable for sencha, the shopkeeper Wang Shouyi has come to the boat to beg for a living, there is not much dexterity, fortunately, people are willing to work hard, so they kept it at that time. It was also discovered by chance that this person's sencha craftsmanship was passed down from generation to generation, and it was quite desirable. Now that I have opened a new tea stall, I want to bring my sister over to try it. Qin Ru said sweetly, the breeze was blowing, and his hair, which was only roughly tied with a red hairband, fluttered wantonly, and his skirt was much more plain than usual.
Miss Wu just looked a little confused, looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers in the distance. Wang Shouyi hurriedly fried tea on the side, the more busy he was, the more accidents happened, the boiling mountain spring water splashed on the surface of his feet, and he didn't dare to make a sound when he hurt his teeth, it seemed that he just took a second look, and he regarded it as blaspheming the innocence of the two girls and dirtying people's Luo skirts.
The little fat man still didn't blink with his small eyes, and muttered to himself while snorting snot bubbles: "Mother, you look so good, this must be a fairy descending to earth." Then he whispered to the left and right: "Come and see, everyone, it is designated as the fairy daughter of the Queen Mother of Heaven who has descended to earth, you see, she will laugh." ”
Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves not far behind, and thought it was the adults in the village shouting for them to go home for dinner, and the little fat man was laughing and looking back, but he was suddenly stunned there, and the fat that had eaten most of his own oil and water was trembling wildly.
Twenty or thirty fierce men, riding lame old horses, came loosely towards this side, tall, short, fat and thin, except for the bloodthirstiness and ferocity in their eyes.
The leader of a scarred face, looking at this dilapidated village that is so poor that chickens can't nest, said impatiently: "Damn, how much oil and water can there be in such a village, I finally picked up a life in front, and came here in a circle, and I was confused, fourth, tell me the fuck, where is this place?"
The thin man next to him, said to be a man, with a tendon and a head, got rid of a sick ghost, if it weren't for the two mouths of air in his mouth, he was afraid that he would be buried alive lying on the side of the road in the middle of the night, and then took out a map full of blood, looked at it and said: "Big brother, we should have entered the boundary of Qingjun, and then go a hundred miles ahead, it is the capital of Qingjun, we can't afford to provoke the people there, what to do, do you want to take a detour elsewhere." The thin man cautiously suggested.
The man glanced at him, so that the thin man's neck shrank, and he almost fell off the horse, and then said fiercely: "Where is this talking about, the brothers have walked back and forth in the water and fire so many times, and they have survived several near-deaths. Robbed this village first, I will rest here tonight, and then go elsewhere tomorrow, I don't believe that such a big place as Dongzhao can't accommodate a few of us to beg for food. ”
Another sturdy man echoed in the back: "Big brother is right, we are desperate in front, but they are living leisurely in the back, and it is really angry to watch." We don't fight for anger, and we don't allow others to live in peace, we have a muddy nightmare of today and no tomorrow, and we don't allow others to have tomorrow. ”
These words are imposing, and they have the appetite of these soldiers and bandits, so they all respond.
"After all, I read a few days when I was young, and I said that I have more aura than us. ”
"That is, where is the fat of this body white. The fat man was even more noisy, and he was thinking about finding something to fill his stomach, when he happened to see the little chubby dun squatting in the pond at the entrance of the village.
"Yo he, I'm still a fat baby like Lao Tzu, just rush to this, just give this baby a happy one, Lao Tzu has seen the first red today. ”
The people in the back don't care, and you come to talk about this kind of rough work, let's go to the village to find a few girls to have fun first, that's really red, this kind of obvious meat and fishy words are obviously more in line with their appetite, and it's messy for a while, and there are jokes. As for the six or seven-year-old little fat man, he had already fallen to the ground and was trembling, and he was cowardly by nature, and he couldn't even remember running away at this time.
The thin man wanted to say something on the side, opened his mouth, but finally swallowed it and didn't say anything, watching the fat man rush up, pull out a large knife, and raise it above his head, under the white sun, the flower man's eyes.
However, at this moment, a sound of breaking wind suddenly exploded in his ears.
The fat man has been on the battlefield in the end, the greasy body does not affect dexterity at all, the wind suddenly sounded, he subconsciously flashed to the side, but the inferior horse under his feet is really not angry, suddenly the legs are weak, one sideways, even the horse and the people all fell on the road, on the horse's legs, there are two small blood holes, it seems to be broken.
He touched the root of his ear, and the pain was scorching, and then he looked at the ground, and at his feet was a small piece of angular stone, with a little fresh flesh that had just been scraped off his body, which was a hard stubble, the fat man thought.
But the more than 20 brothers behind him are not in a position, a group of outlaws who have long looked down on life and death, licking blood from the knife edge, that is, there is a martial artist with a lower realm standing in front of them, they are really anxious, and they dare to urge the horse to rush up and kill. So I still looked around, I didn't see anything else, but in the tea stall 100 meters ahead, one red and one white were conspicuous, and the fat man only glanced at it and couldn't take his eyes off it.
Money, women, since ancient times are the two treasures that can best give birth to the desire of men's hearts, and they have been on the battlefield for a few months, they are really sows racing sables, not to mention such a beauty, the fat man took a deep breath, and felt that the air with a smell of earth and fishy smell became sweet at this time.
If it is left in normal times, the fat man knows what kind of cheap he is, and even if he dies, he can't exchange the favor of such a girl. But now it's different, such a broken place can't be in front of the village and no store in the back, the people behind him rushed up together, burned and looted, and then slapped his ass and left, yes, there is still a master hidden here, but why hide his head and dare not come forward, it's not that his own strength is not enough, if he can wipe out his gang in a snap of his fingers, why do you need to play mysterious.
So the fat man waved his big hand behind him, and he didn't even need to say hello, and all the men were like hungry wolves who had been hungry in the winter snow for ten days and half a month, their eyes glowed one by one, and they lined up in a row, and then the leader of Scarface whistled, and everyone whipped their whips at the horse's buttocks. More than 20 bandits who had abandoned their beliefs on the battlefield shouted unintelligible trumpets in their mouths, kicked horses' hooves, neighed, and rolled up a cloud of smoke and dust.
Wang Shouyi's legs and feet were already weak, and he felt that he was going to stay here today, but the two girls in front of him seemed to be fine, especially Miss Wu, who was dressed in white, elegant as sitting cross-legged Guanyin, which was the ancestral hall dedicated to the Bodhisattva in the middle of the village, and the ladies in it had never sat so beautifully. Thinking that even if he is throwing his legs now, he can't outrun the four-legged war horse, this shop cost him half of his silver, and he sees it more important than his own net worth and life, so as soon as he gritted his teeth, he simply didn't run, and it was a big deal to fight with them. If there were two fairies on Huangquan Road as companions, he would follow them from a distance, and no matter how many bowls of Meng Po soup he drank, he would never forget it.
Qin Ru smiled skillfully, and said in a voice that was even more disastrous to the country and the people: "Sister, don't believe it, my sister really knows how to look at her appearance, just now looking at my sister's appearance, she must be a rich and noble dragon who can marry a dragon among people, it is really a blessing to have a good life, there is no woman in the world who can be like her sister." ”
"Two aunts and grandmothers, stop talking, those people are already going to kill them. Wang Shouyi said with a sad face on the side, it was just a blink of an eye, the distance of 100 meters was instantaneous, and when Wang Shouyi looked up again, he could already see the beard on the chin of the scarred man in the lead.
Scarface's mouth is a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and before the person looks at his face, Wang Shouyi can already smell a rotten fishy smell, which makes people sick to their stomachs.
Scarface pulled out a circle of the big knife in his hand, and stabbed Wang Shouyi, who was short in front of him. Wang Shouyi could only put his hand on the top of his head to parry, and his eyes were closed in fright.
"It's a pity that I didn't marry Xiu'er. This was the last thought in Wang Shouyi's heart.
The tea shop was suddenly quiet, and after a while, the pain that Wang Shouyi expected did not come, but a drop of cool things dropped on his head, touched it, put it under his nose and smelled it, this smell made Wang Shouyi inexplicably reminded him of the blood sprayed on his face by the black-haired pig when he watched the villagers kill pigs when he was a child.
Courageously put his hand down, looking at the hideous scar in front of him, as if he had been immobilized, the big knife in his hand was only a few inches away from slashing at the top of his head, but he didn't move, and he didn't even blink the eyelids on his face.
Wang Shouyi threw a punch and hit Scar's waist, not too hard, but under this punch, the seven-foot-long man fell straight down at the door of his tea shop, there was no breath, and his eyes were wide when he died, his face was full of disbelief, and he was really dead.
At this time, Wang Shouyi, who came back to his senses, realized that it was a chopstick inserted into the center of Scarface's eyebrows, and the wound did not flow out of the blood, and when he looked back, Miss Qin still whispered to Miss Wu about the woman's own words, and Miss Wu occasionally raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she didn't know why, and didn't seem to agree.
The group of soldiers and bandits following behind Scarface were obviously stunned, and then exploded in an instant, especially the greasy fat man, who screamed one by one, how heartbreaking. ,
"Grandma's, Lao Tzu slaughtered you. The fat man snorted and cried, took the lead, and waved the big knife that had already cut the blade on the front line, and beckoned to Wang Shouyi's head.
Where has Wang Shouyi seen this battle, he almost peed his pants when he stood still, but seeing that the white light on the blade was becoming more and more dazzling, he suddenly pulled him by the neck and collar behind him, and threw him directly behind, and Wang Shouyi, who fell under the table, lay under the table and grabbed the table leg and looked out, dumbfounded.
In his heart, the girl Wu, who had a good temper and couldn't even blush, grabbed the neck of the fat man who looked like he was at least more than 200 pounds, and lifted the person from the ground alive. This is not the end, the fat man's face is covered in white sweat, the expression on his face is distorted to the extreme, and he still maintains the posture of holding a knife, but the big knife in his hand can't be wielded.
I saw that Miss Wu's jade hand was slightly forced, and the fat man's legs and feet were suspended in the air for a while, and then his whole body suddenly twitched, and there was no sound. Miss Wu threw the corpse out in disgust, and the remaining twenty or so were like a goose whose neck was pinched, each with its neck stretched out, but no one made a sound.
The tense and frightened atmosphere scurried back and forth among the men, and even the war horses under their buttocks kept snorting, and the horses' hooves were uneasy to dig the ground. A woman is in front, and no one of the more than 20 big men who have lives in their hands dares to take a step forward, if it weren't for what he saw with his own eyes today, Wang Shouyi would not believe it anyway, especially the woman, Wu Muxin, who is still famous in Qingjun.
There was a burly man in the middle of the team who couldn't stand this formation, and shouted, "Our brothers have all arrived in such a field today, as long as the government finds a trace, they will all die." Don't forget the things you've done along the way, you, you, you, who doesn't have blood on their knives, if you don't work together to take down this little girl's skin, none of us will survive today. ”
With this person's appearance, the rest of the people finally regained their courage, and one by one they looked hideous, shouting and rushing straight towards Wu Muxin. However, although these people are all veterans who died on the battlefield and survived, there is not even a single martial artist who has quenched his body. Wu Muxin didn't keep his hand at all, Wang Shouyi's legs trembled and he barely stood up on the pillar in the shop, and finally saw what it means to wear flowers and butterflies, Wu Muxin is like a fairy in the Moon Palace with long sleeves and good at dancing, but every time he slaps it, there will be a big man who flies out directly, and then he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, but it seems that the bones of his whole body are broken, and he is dead.
More than 20 soldiers and bandits were killed at the hands of Wu Muxin one after another, and in the end, only the thin man who was hiding at the back of the team remained, and he still did not escape, and knelt on the ground in resignation, closed his eyes, and said nothing.
Wu Muxin glanced down at this guy's ugly face, suddenly turned his head, and looked at Qin Rushi, who had always been watching the play in his seat, in a soft tone, and asked with a smile, "Since my sister is the best at looking, then come and see this, what kind of fate will he be." ”
Qin Ru leaned closer, glanced at it lightly, and then leaned into Wu Muxin's ear, first blowing lightly on her earlobe, and only after the white and tender earlobe was slightly red, did she say something with a hippie smile.
"His countenance, he deserves to die. ”
Wu Muxin stretched out his right hand, and the stone in his hand flicked his fingers, straight into the thin man's eyebrows, looked at him silently, and then said flatly: "I think, too." ”
