Chapter 32: Retribution
In July of the first year of Shengong, Huishan Village.
Qingjun has been here for two or three days.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the village, it is particularly quiet. At this time, it was the busy season for farming, but when I looked all over the wilderness, I never saw the villagers farming.
The rice seedlings were swayed by the wind, and there were bursts of cries beside the rice paddies, but this cry was quickly muffled and gradually became weaker and weaker. Several Qing soldiers dug a dirt pit casually, threw the corpses piled up next to them into the dirt pit to bury them, and then covered the soil.
Lao Luo squatted in the corner, although he was a commander in the official position, no one took him seriously. One is that he has not been here for a long time, and besides, the people here are all subject to the arrangement of the Great Offering.
There are now not many real villagers left in the village.
In his opinion, all the people here have fallen into a kind of frenzy. They took sin as a mercy and slaughtered unarmed people indiscriminately.
The more arrogant the army, the faster it will die.
In the Northern Wilderness, many of them had some brutal armies, raising some Central Plains people and calling them "two-legged sheep". When there is no food in the army, they will live by the love of people.
This may produce strong combat effectiveness for a while, but such an army is often the first to die. Neither the Great Zhou nor the Northern Wilderness would allow such an army to exist.
Lao Luo's thoughts in his heart did not show it.
For him, these people, although brutal, were advantageous to the general. It is better to let a murderous force fight the court and lose both than to raise a smart guy to wait for the opportunity.
When he came to Qingjun, he thought it was a simple undercover mission. But he didn't expect that the once powerful Qing Dynasty would be so unbearable for his descendants.
These people worship a god called "Haci", which is a god from a foreign land. Either from the west, or from the north, anyway, such an evil god, the Central Plains will not have the soil for his survival.
It is rumored that "Haci" has no body, only a soul. If a person is condemned as an evil person, the believers will put that person alive in a clay sculpture to usher in the advent of "Haci".
The Great Offering is also the Great Witch Blessing of this sect, he always wears a mask, and no one knows his true face. However, what surprised Lao Luo was that it was this guy who hid his head and tail to make this group of stragglers almost fanatically believe in it.
They worship every day, and Lao Luo will also go as usual. He followed the movements of those people and worshipped in front of the strange idols.
When he knelt down, Lao Luo was in a trance and felt a figure floating nearby. But when he searched again, he found that the figure had disappeared.
It was as if a ghost was staring at him.
Lao Luo doesn't believe in any gods, and he also scoffs at ghosts and gods. He killed so many people in the Northern Wilderness, and he didn't see anyone turn into a ghost and ask for his life. But the strange face of the idol made him feel fear.
The strange thing began when they killed the newborn child.
Lao Luo is a person, and the wolf hunter guard makes him ruthless, but soldiers are also people, and he has emotions. A living child died before his eyes, it was not an enemy, it was just an innocent life.
Lao Luo found the steel needle.
He took advantage of the darkness to touch the two Qingjun houses where the child was grabbed. He stabbed the steel needle on their acupuncture points, and the two of them were immediately paralyzed and unable to move.
Lao Luo gagged their mouths with a cloth and slowly cut off their legs with a knife, leaving blood in the ground. This is a wilderness and a place where the corpses of the villagers are hidden.
It's a bit like Ling Chi, but Lao Luo doesn't have such a good knife, so he cut more than 30 knives, and the two of them died.
Excessive bleeding is one thing, but more of it is frightening to death.
Lao Luo took off the armor of the two, found a small river in the mountains and threw them away, and then buried the two in the soil.
The next day, Lao Luo waited for the news of the disappearance of the two.
Everything was expected, and the commander approached him and asked if he had seen anyone missing.
Last night, a total of ten people disappeared.
There are no bones left of these ten people.
Some people suspected that it was Lao Luo, but this suspicion was quickly overturned. Last night, Lao Luo went out under the pretext of relieving himself, but the time was very short, and it was impossible to kill ten people at the same time.
"Someone killed eight other people." Tang Yun said in a condensed voice.
Lao Luo smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was stunned, forgetting that I was a newcomer, and if someone died, then I would be the first to suspect." But fortunately, eight people died that night, covering up the people I had killed. ”
After that day, Lao Luo was closely monitored.
Yet every day passes, and there are still people dying.
The death of these men was miserable, their bellies were cut open, as if they had been eaten by wild beasts.
The news spread, and everyone in the village was in danger. Those invincible Qing soldiers also began to panic at this moment.
"They wanted to save their lives, so they huddled in a room and took turns going out to keep vigil at night. But it didn't work, someone would still die the next day as usual. ”
"Later, in order to maintain his strength, Da Wuzhu transferred all the Qing troops who were originally stationed in the village to the mountains to guard the armory, and the original village had already changed a group of people."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went into the mountains, and there were only a few exits. As long as you guard the entrance, no one will come looking for you. ”
Speaking of this, Lao Luo suddenly chuckled.
Tang Yun remained silent, and Lao Luo's expression was actually a little often. Sometimes panicked, sometimes calm, like a madman.
Tang Yun never asked Lao Luo how he escaped from the ambush of Helian Movement back then, and why he was never found. However, since Lao Luo was reluctant to take the initiative to say, Tang Yun was not ready to ask, everyone had secrets in their hearts and didn't want to talk to others.
Latent is the most tormenting of the mind.
Tang Yun first experienced that he and Lao Luo pretended to be the envoys of the Emperor of the Northern Wilderness, went to the Northern Wilderness military camp to eat and drink, and ordered other people's grain and grass warehouses before leaving.
Sounds legendary.
But if they are discovered, their fate is estimated to be quite miserable.
Lao Luo's appearance now is like he has been under pressure for a long time, and his whole person is a little mentally abnormal.
"I don't think those people escaped death." Tang Yun said.
Lao Luo looked at the dome of the stone house and said with a wry smile: "Yes, no one can escape, no one can escape!" ”
"On the first night, everyone was staring at the exit, no one was passing by, but the next day there were still dead people."
They thought I had done it, so they ...... Bundle me up and throw me into this empty stone house. Their rope broke in a few strokes, but I wasn't ready to go out. I found an exit by the wall from which I could climb out. It's safe here, at least for now. ”
"I spent the night in this stone house."
"Day three." Lao Luo's words paused.
Tang Yun said: "Dead again? ”
The corners of Lao Luo's mouth gradually hooked.
That is, this morning.
I pushed open the stone door and saw dead bodies all over the ground.
I saw a figure, lying on the ground, gnawing on a flat corpse.
The figure seemed to sense my presence, and he turned his head to look at me.
He still has a piece of internal organs in his mouth.
I recognized him.
He is the man who was sent by the worship to have his limbs broken and sealed in a clay sculpture.
His children were killed, and his wife went insane.
He's here for revenge!
