Chapter 49: The Smoke of Gunpowder
Gu San showed the knife, and her eyes were like eagles staring at the person standing in front of her. Those housekeepers rushed towards Murong Yuhua with sticks in their hands, and were directly slashed on the arm by Gu San, and they saw red.
Mrs. Zhou stood there, and when she saw this, she shouted, "What are you doing here?" β
Gu Sanhu was in front of Murong Yuhua, she was holding a short knife in her hand, and the attack and defense just now made those family members stunned, and they didn't know what to do for a while. She didn't look anxious, in fact, this should be expected - under the heavy reward, what can the so-called mother and daughter do? Moreover, for Mrs. Zhou, what she did did did not hurt her daughter in the first place.
She was still standing there with confusion, holding a handkerchief in her hand, "You protect him, do you really want to be a concubine for the bandits?" He's a murderer! How can you be innocent with him? β
Gu San took a deep breath and said, "Mrs. Zhou, Li Handong was killed by me, and it has nothing to do with others." The bandit wasn't even there when I killed him. Instead, he was implicated by me. β
"You...... You are the daughter of my Zhou family, you can't be a murderer, understand? β
Mrs. Zhou also had such a pair of small feet, she was held by the grandmother beside her, and approached her in small steps, "I finally made everyone believe it, and you have to believe it too." β
"You could have run away first."
"We can't escape, won't we be weak if we escape? Hui'er, even if you really killed someone, why do you refuse now that someone has given you a guilt? As long as we tie him up and send him to the Li family's mansion, you will be safe and sound. Mrs. Zhou was afraid that she would not know what was at stake, so she persuaded bitterly, "I have earned enough tears for everyone to get them to stand on our side." Now that you're back, if they see you wronged like this, they'll feel even more sorry for you. β
"But I killed the man. I slit his throat with a knife that night and watched him die. I snatched his gun and killed the Li family's housekeeper in the broken temple. β
"Silly daughter, the key is not how they died. It's what others listen to and believe what we say after they die. Mrs. Zhou approached little by little, and trembling her hand asked Gu San to put down the knife. But Gu San just stood in front of Murong Yuhua and took a step back. She looked at the disappointment in Mrs. Zhou's eyes clearly.
Gu Sandao: "Are you afraid of them? β
"Aren't you afraid? Who is not afraid of them in this land? Hui'er, forget if you hate them, you can't involve all of us in order to vent your anger. Don't you want to ask why we don't run away and stay? This is the way I found you to survive, why can't you understand it? Mrs. Zhou pointed in the direction of the Li Mansion, "If we admit that you committed the bloody crime in the Li Mansion that day, we will have to die with you!" Wouldn't it be nice to be like that now? You hand over all the bandits, and we will sit down on the execution ground. They cut off their heads, and our lives went smoothly. As long as the gun isn't pointed at us, whatever! β
As she spoke, she took a step closer to her, and Gu San stepped back again, this time aiming the blade directly at her, "But this is called betrayal." β
"What is a betrayal! Are you really on the side of the bandits? This is a business, a business that we only make money and don't lose money. β
Gu San understood, "You actually don't want to see me kill Commander Li, do you?" β
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said, "The mistakes you made, now my mother has made up for you." β
"You think I killed him to cause trouble for the family, you don't want to run away, you just want to find a scapegoat. Is that right? β
"I'm doing all this for you, why are you still complaining about me in this tone?" Mrs. Zhou finally stopped stepping forward, and seemed to have given up on pulling Gu San back into her camp, she frowned, and her words were filled with crying - crying, the most common weapon used by women for thousands of years, "No matter how much you resent, if a woman gets married and marries, it will be fate." At that time, you were relieved to marry Commander Li as his fifteenth aunt's wife, and try your best to please him and get some money from him to supplement the family. β
She looked so distressed and sorrowful.
"But you don't believe in fate. If you don't believe in fate, forget it, you want to take your man's life, I can't follow you and send a large family to death, right? This is also my mother's good intentions, Hui'er! β
Gu San was like an ice sculpture, looking at her mother's cry with an expressionless face, she was not her daughter, and she was in a different era, so it was naturally difficult to understand these pains.
"You just want to exonerate yourself from being implicated, turning a blind eye to the real evil deeds and standing firmly on their side." After Gu San said this, he retreated back to the door step by step, "If there are greater benefits waiting for you, does it mean that I am also something you can betray?" β
Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, and she inexplicably showed a hint of embarrassment, "What are you talking nonsense?" You are my child, can I betray you? It's not that if you are found out, then you will be implicated along with me. So we just have to arrest the guy behind you. If he dies, you will live. β
Then Leng Buding heard a gunshot, and Gu San completely relied on the instinct cultivated on the battlefield for many years, pulled Murong Yuhua sideways to dodge the bullet, and dragged the person who rushed first in front of him.
Mrs. Zhou's hand holding the gun was still trembling, and a wisp of green smoke rose from the barrel of the gun. It was obviously the first time she had fired a gun, and she wasn't used to it at all. The shot she had just fired wasn't actually aimed at Murong Yuhua's head, Gu San looked back at the bullet marks on the wall, and according to that trajectory, she was actually aiming at herself.
How could Gu San forget, if Murong Yuhua's bounty was fifty taels, then he would only be more and not less as the real murderer.
Mrs. Zhou let out a long sigh, even if it was a woman in the old era, the moment she held the gun, it was as if she had regained control of fate that had been lost for many years, she raised her head, no longer the sad appearance she had before, but with a faint disappointment and gave her daughter an ultimatum, "It's still too late for you to change your mind now." With you, this lie can be completely rounded. Our Zhou family can also get out of this chaos and continue to enjoy glory and wealth. You've already made a mistake, don't keep getting wrong. What woman can choose her own marriage? Do you think I wanted to marry someone like your father? I've looked at your dad all these years, don't I want him to die? But everyone still has to live, you can't do this, understand? This is the truth that your mother has given you to be a man. β
"Your reasoning is nothing more than your own interests."
"Then you didn't kill Commander Li for your own benefit? You have become a murderer, but you want to choose a noble path to exonerate yourself? No matter how bad he is, he is also your husband! It's also you who Ming Media is marrying. No matter how much you hate your mother, your mother is also looking for a way to live for you. How could you be so stupid, Hui'er? β
Gu San actually gradually realized something. The moment she killed Li Handong, it was equivalent to opening a new feast. A party of singing and dancing, everyone will find their own food on the table. They will whitewash, disguise themselves, and get everyone to agree with their choice. It's but it's also reasonable, very, very normal.
All people will eventually become maggots on the bodies of the wicked.
gnawing at his flesh and becoming like him.
Mrs. Zhou held the gun, and although her shot did not hit the bull's-eye, she quickly found a rhythm in it. Even though Gu San had already taken hostages, she still unhurriedly pointed the muzzle of the gun at her again, "Obedient, daughter." I just need this bandit behind you. If you are still obsessed with it, your mother can only exchange it for the one hundred taels of gold herself. β
It's a pity that before her gunshots rang out again, Gu San rushed directly in front of her with the person in front of her. Mrs. Zhou pulled the trigger again, but the bullet was bitten on the shoulder.
Gu San took advantage of her stunned moment and quickly snatched the gun from her hand. She turned her head directly to the calf and pulled the trigger, and the people who were about to catch up all fell to their knees, wailing.
Her speed was so fast that the people around her didn't react at all, and the situation was reversed by him again.
Mrs. Zhou's face was also splashed with blood, and she screamed, "Are you possessed by evil spirits and want to kill us all!" β
Gu San stood in front of her with her gun, "Mrs. Zhou, it's not that I'm possessed by evil spirits, I'm just doing something that many people want to do but don't dare to do." β
"They have guns in their hands, can you beat them!"
"How do you know if you don't try? If you were scared just because you had a gun, it wouldn't have happened in the first place. Gu San turned around and gave Murong Yuhua a look, and the two of them also took out the gun that was originally hidden in the middle of the bag. The wind blows in late spring and carries a hint of coolness.
Gu San turned around and walked towards the back door. Xiao Yanagi hid to the side as soon as they started fighting, trembling and not daring to move, and then saw her walk back, stood up, and took the initiative to open the door rafters for her.
She looked back at the Zhou family's mansion again, and said to Mrs. Zhou, "It's not too early, I will tell you what I said before." First, my name is not Zhou Hui'er, my name is Gu San. Secondβ"
As soon as the door opened, Gu San relied on his night vision ability to shoot and destroy the soldiers guarding outside.
"If you're afraid, just pack your things and go, run as far as you want."
As the shots rang out, all the soldiers patrolling the streets rushed to this direction. Murong Yuhua took out a match and lit it directly, and threw it out.
The stone pavement outside suddenly burst into flames, and the flames swooped towards the group of soldiers like a python.
They stay in Qingping County from day to night, but they don't just walk around.
As the flames soared into the air, explosions rang out on both sides of the street, and Murong Yuhua and Gu San walked side by side, facing the firelight, and took the first step forward.
