Chapter 6: Unexpected Betrayal
Vicford looked at the little girl stupidly, then realized that he was out of shape, and coughed lightly, "Little girl, could it be that you are ...... The village chief's daughter? ā
"Didn't you just say that I'm the village chief. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info," the little girl said.
"Don't joke with adults." Vicford frowned, impatient.
"Don't judge people by their appearance, knight." The corners of the little girl's mouth curled, and her cute and pretty appearance made her look proud, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the other villagers." ā
Vicford looked at the villagers around him, the villagers looked away, he hesitated for a while, but decided to believe his common sense, "Little girl, before I get angry, I will ask again, where is the village chief?" ā
āā¦ā¦ Alas, retarded. ā
"What!?"
Vicford looked at the little girl in disbelief, his face flushed and bruised, and his whole body trembled, and anyone could tell that he was in a state of annoyance.
He clenched his fists and raised them slightly.
There was a middle-aged man among the villagers standing in front of the square, and seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly ran to the little girl, as if to protect her, in front of Victor.
"Yes, I'm sorry, sir. The child is the granddaughter of the village chief, and his mouth is a little stinky. A few days ago, the village chief was sick, we saw that she was very sensible, so we asked her to help instead of the village chief, saying that it was the nominal village chief, the child is still young, and sometimes he will learn to swear with adults. ā
Vicfort squinted his eyes and lowered his fist, he also seemed to feel a bit of a loss of face to lash out at a young girl, he took a deep breath and asked, "Tell me where the village chief is." ā
"I'm the village chief, I've said it 3 times, you guys are really wise...... Not. The little girl was about to say something when she was covered by a middle-aged man on the side.
"If you want to find the village chief." The middle-aged man turned his head to the room where the little girl came out and raised his chin, "He's in there now, he should be sleeping now, if you have anything important......"
Wickford sneered, and pointed to one of the people in the team, then to the room, "Go inside and have a look." ā
"Yes."
A volunteer soldier walked into the house.
Then there was a voice in the room.
"Report to the captain, an old man has been found in the house."
"It seems to be true." Vicford nodded.
"Grandpa is sleeping, don't wake him up." The little girl said with a frown.
Vicforti ignored her, but stared at the middle-aged man tightly and said: "You can take care of things here, go and wake up the village chief, let him tell the whole village, our volunteer revolutionary army will not let go of any evil, you village that is in the company of bandits, obediently accept the sanctions!" ā
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
However, Wickford didn't bother to pay attention to him, he turned to look at the rest of the team and said, "According to the old rules, let's get started." ā
"Yes!"
Except for Xia Di, who was stunned, the people around all saluted.
The old rules?
Xia Di looked at the scene in front of him inexplicably.
In his opinion, the development of all this is unexpected, what is it like to be in the company of bandits? Victor is trying to say that the people of this village were responsible for the attack on the army yesterday? How did he see it?
Just as Xia Di was about to step forward to ask, his clothes were ripped off.
When I turned my head, it was Roddy.
"Hey, let's go." Roddy said.
"What?" Xia Di was confused.
"Oh, I forgot, you newcomer doesn't know, you follow me, just watch me do it."
"Wait, what did the captain say just now, what happened to the collusion between the village and the bandits?"
"You come over first."
After Luo Di finished speaking, he immediately greeted two or three soldiers who seemed to have a good relationship, and walked to the left side of the square, a smaller house, Xia Di followed with a puzzled face, only to see Luo Di knock on the door like Victor and said, "We are volunteers, open the door quickly!" ā
What the hell is this?
Xia Di had a bad premonition, but he didn't know the reason.
He watched Roddy knock on the door impatiently, and after a few seconds, seeing that there was no response from inside the room, Roddy sighed.
"Come here and help." Roddy said to the other two, who nodded and followed Roddy to the door, and they bent down together, slamming their shoulders against the door.
Boom!
As the door was slammed open by a joint force, there was a mournful sound in the house, Xia Di looked through the open wooden door, and saw that in the small room, on a wooden bed, a middle-aged woman was sitting on the edge of the bed with a 2 or 3-year-old child, looking at it with a frightened face.
"Oh? I said there must be someone in there. ā
"Don't your ears be good, you don't know how to open the door after knocking for so long?"
Roddy and the other two complained as they swaggered into the house.
As if frightened by the sound of the door just banging, the child cried in fright.
The woman hurriedly hugged the child and asked tremblingly, "You, who are you?" Why did you break into my house? ā
"Didn't you just say that we are volunteers." Roddy said, looking around the room, "We are revolutionaries, heroes fighting against the evil King's army. ā
"Volunteers...... Isn't it a rebel? What do you want to do? That's my husband's stuff! ā
"Shut up!"
Roddy glared at her and slammed into the table beside him.
The table flew out and slammed into the wall with a loud bang.
Roddy snorted lightly, pulled out the sword on his waist and gestured in front of her eyes, "You'd better know each other and don't resist." Also, the child's voice is too loud, tell him to be quiet. ā
The woman nodded stiffly and covered the child's mouth.
After confirming that the other party had no intention of resisting, Roddy had to pick up the bag that was placed in the cabinet and pour out the contents.
"20 copper coins, it's really a poor family." With that, he slipped the coins into his pocket.
"What do you think of this thing?" One asked, pointing to the silver lampstand hanging from the wall.
"It doesn't seem to be worth much." The other replied.
"That's right, don't forget the most important thing, find and move the food."
As if they were sifting through the goods, the three of them stuffed the contents of the house into pre-prepared bags or held them directly in their hands.
The women on the side had anxiety in their eyes and could only look stupidly from the side.
Xia Di looked at all this dumbfounded, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
How can this group of people break into other people's doors at will, take other people's things like raiding their homes?
Isn't this a virtue with a robber!
"What are you doing?" Xia Di frowned and asked.
"Still don't understand? Confiscation of supplies. Luo Di replied while he was busy, and he didn't even look at Xia Di.
"Is this a task assigned by the captain?"
"Nonsense, otherwise where would we get our dinner? Ah, you wait and help me get this bag of wheat out. Roddy put a bag of marijuana in front of Xia Di. Just put it in the middle of the square, and the cavalry guys will watch it for us. ā
Xia Di didn't take the sack, he stared at the three people present and asked, "...... I don't understand, aren't we a revolutionary army fighting for the people, how can we just grab the people's things. ā
"Huh? You're mistaken. The person next to him snorted, "They're not people, they're just bandits." And it's not robbery, it's confiscation. ā
"yes, what's wrong with a bandit's thing." Roddy should be reconciled.
Xia Di looked at the house, the dilapidated furniture, the charred crockpots and ovens, and the rusty farm tools, this is the home of the bandits? Are you kidding. This is how to believe.
Xia Di's common sense told him that there was definitely something wrong in this.
"I wanted to ask just now, how did you tell that they were bandits?"
"The captain said that the people of this village are in collusion with the bandits. That's right. Roddy waved his hand impatiently: "The captain must have come to a conclusion after deep consideration, we don't need to doubt it." Moreover, it is actually very easy to judge whether they are bandits, we are volunteers, and it is natural for us to provide supplies, if they refuse to provide us with things, they must be bandits, or they are lackeys of the king's army. ā
