Chapter Seventy-Three: The Village (26)
Fortunately, when Kong Heren couldn't help but almost tell the truth, the four of Kong Yan had already come over.
When the two groups get together, they don't care about anything else.
When Mrs. Kong heard what his granddaughter had learned, it was similar to what he had guessed, and he took a deep breath, "How many people are missing?" ”
Jiang Cheng glanced at it, "There are more than ten prisoners, and the servants are not here." ”
Mrs. Kong nodded, "Then let's wait, Dong Chatou and they shouldn't have an accident." ”
All of them can escape, let alone them.
Sure enough, within two quarters of an hour, the village was on fire, first one family, then another, one after another, and it could not have been the villagers themselves, but only their people.
Everyone returned to the village together, and finally met with Dong Guan and them, and for the rest of their lives, Dong Guan's cold face also had a smile.
It's just that in the end, there are still five prisoners missing, and the servants have lost one.
"Those villagers are hiding now, and they can't just be left behind." Dong Guan pursed his lips, "They are all hiding in the house, and these houses are connected together, so I took someone to simply burn the house to the ground." ”
He pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall, "We just need to go there and guard them, and kill them all." ”
This time Dong Guan also killed the red eye, without discussing with the old lady Kong, he did the matter, he took the messenger to the ancestral hall, the white fog around the village has dissipated, the whole village is strangely hidden in the mountains, the tall ancestral hall is more and more weird.
Everyone flocked to the outside of the ancestral hall, and the door of the ancestral hall was closed, but a white mist could be seen through the cracks.
Mo Minzhong thought of what Kong Yan said, and reminded everyone, "These white mist may be related to snakes, everyone be careful." ”
As soon as they heard the snake, everyone instinctively stepped back, even Dong Guan stood in front and hesitated, and also took two steps back, with a pair of eyes still staring at the door of the ancestral hall.
The white mist gushing out of it seemed to be thicker, Dong Guan sneered, and shouted loudly, "Listen to the people inside, it's okay if you don't come out, then you will all wait to be smoked to death inside." ”
As soon as he waved his hand, those servants immediately stepped forward with torches, and they were about to strike at the ancestral hall of Heimu, and with a bang, the door was pushed open from the inside, and Village Chief He stood in the ancestral hall alone.
Village Chief He was still facing everyone with an old dragon bell, "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, why do you have to do such a desperate job?" ”
Without giving Dong Guan a chance to speak, Village Chief He slowly stepped forward, stopped at the threshold, and gently stroked the ancestral hall with his hand, as if he was caressing his beloved, with memories in his eyes.
"If I hadn't had someone come and sweep the snake powder around the ancestral hall that night, do you think you would have survived until now?" As soon as his voice fell, everyone was stunned.
They thought about many possibilities, who was behind them to help them, but they didn't expect that it would be the village chief.
Old Lady Kong stepped forward, "What is the village chief so unspeakable?" ”
Village Chief He rubbed his eyes, and when he raised his head, he had a warm smile on his face, "After the fall of the Song Dynasty two hundred years ago, the heirs of the royal family hid in this deep mountain and waited for the day when the Song Dynasty could be rebuilt. It's a pity that two hundred years have passed, but the people of the royal family have suffered from strange diseases one after another, and the remaining people don't want to say that they built a dynasty, but they are all extravagant hopes to survive. From the moment I was born, I was responsible for the continuation of the bloodline of the Song dynasty, but in the end, I watched the younger generations leave one by one, but there was no way at all. ”
It turned out to be the remnants of the Song Dynasty of the previous dynasty here, and everyone never expected that the people of their village would still have such an identity.
More than 200 years ago, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty and built the Great Zhou, after the war, now people live and work in peace and contentment, the Great Zhou Dynasty was also established for nearly 200 years, and four emperors have been replaced, and the Song Dynasty has long been forgotten by people.
If it weren't for Village Chief He mentioning it, everyone wouldn't want to go together at all, and would only think that it was a village that practiced witchcraft.
Mrs. Kong stroked her beard slowly, "The fall of the Song Dynasty is related to the marriage of their royal blood relatives. As for the strange diseases mentioned by the village chief, it has long been recorded in medical books that children born of close relatives who marry often have fetal diseases, and even mutate not like human shapes. When you kill innocent people for your own selfishness, God is punishing you. ”
In the end, Mrs. Kong didn't say that those meat balls were human.
Village Chief He laughed, the laughter went from light to loud, echoing in the darkness, and it took him a long time to stop laughing, "Yes, it's a pity that we are just courtiers, and the blood of the royal family must be pure, but it's a pity that I have lived in this village for a hundred years, and there are fewer and fewer people in the royal family, so I can't care about anything else." ”
The tone was a little gloomy here, but after a turn, he regained the peace he had just now, "Maybe it's the will of heaven, in the past few decades, there has never been a mistake, but I don't want your arrival to ruin all this." Maybe.... This is providence. ”
Village Chief He let out a long sigh, as if he had exhaled all the emotion that had been suppressed in his heart for all these years, his eyes fell on the people outside the ancestral hall, and his hand patted the ancestral hall, "Here are enshrined ancestors, for the sake of the face that I saved you once, let it go." ”
"Spare it? If we hadn't been vigilant, we would have died at your hands. Dong Guan sneered.
Village Chief He was not annoyed, and still said slowly, "Li Zhuang reminded you, I also asked him to go, and he also gave his life for this, aren't these low enough?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, since it is a remnant of the previous dynasty, we can't let it go when we encounter it." Such a good opportunity for meritorious service, how could Dong Guan let it go.
The atmosphere became tense again, Dong Guandao pointed at Village Chief He, "You can be captured obediently, and you can spare your life, after all, you are just a slave, if you resist, don't let my sword be blind." ”
Village Chief He smiled, "Don't resist being captured by you and sent to receive a reward?" I just thought that you were innocent people and wanted to let you go, and now it seems that God wants to take your life, and you can't blame me. ”
After speaking, I saw that Village Chief He took out a dagger from his sleeve and slashed it at his wrist, and black blood instantly gushed out, with a foul smell.
As early as when Village Chief He looked up to the sky and laughed, Kong Yan felt bad, Village Chief He dared to stand here and talk to everyone about the conditions, there must be something to rely on, she pulled the family back early, her grandfather was in front, Kong Heren was still a little dissatisfied, and was glared at by the Li family, so he obediently retreated.
As for Mo Minzhong, when he saw Kong Yan's actions, he also told his parents to step back, Kong and Mo were already the backbone of everyone, and the actions of the two families fell in the eyes of the prisoners, and the prisoners also retreated, so that only the servants and Mrs. Kong were left in front.
Kong Heren was about to step forward, but was stopped by the Li family, "Father is not a reckless person, you don't have to worry. ”
As for her grandfather, Kong Yan was not worried.
