Chapter 13: Old Wounds

After Old Man Zheng learned of the tragic situation of those villains, he did not rush to save them, but calmed down and began to think about countermeasures.

Actually, I don't understand it.

This old man is also from Mao'er Village, and his education and living environment are similar to those of other villagers, why does he have such an awareness?

I'd rather help the villains than stand on the side of my own village...... What the hell did he think?

Of course, I'm not saying that his decision was wrong, just a little .....

A little surprised!

"Lao Zheng, do you think it's worth it for these villains?" The old man also seemed to think of going with me, and asked cautiously, "These villains have such a deep relationship with you?" ”

"Nope." Old man Zheng said very directly: "But I must save them." ”

"Why?" The old man was stunned.

"My father said that the inhabitants of Lilliputians are very simple, they don't know what bad is, and they have never seen real bad." Old man Zheng said this, his expression was very serious, as if he had returned to listening to his father's lecture when he was a child, and said seriously: "I don't want them to think that all the people in this world are bad people, and I don't want to follow Zheng Laosan and them as beasts...... I'm human! ”

As soon as the words fell, Old Man Zheng became excited, pointed at himself, and looked at us suspiciously.

"As a normal person, shouldn't you choose to save them??"

"If this were the case, would your choice be different from mine?"

Old man Zheng looked at us with a very complicated look, as if he was a little desperate and puzzled, and he didn't expect that we would ask him these questions.

"Don't get excited, we're just curious, because in this day and age, there aren't many good people like you......"

Hearing my words, Old Man Zheng calmed down a little.

Now I can understand his feelings, really, in the eyes of those villagers, he is like me in the eyes of outsiders, he is an alien.

I can play for the villagers of Wangshan Village, and he can also play for the villains who have never met.

At this point, I do have a feeling of sympathy for him.

"How did you get them out?" The old man asked.

"In the few days when they were captured back to the village, I was very stoppable, I didn't dare to startle the snakes, and I didn't even dare to .......show my head," Old man Zheng sighed deeply: "I waited for half a month before I found a chance to get close to the shed." ”

"The shed?"

"It's a shed for raising villains." Old man Zheng explained: "That shed, at first, it was used to raise chickens and ducks, but then the chickens and ducks all got sick and died, and it remained empty until the villains were caught in it......."

I have to say that Old Man Zheng is indeed a tough guy, and his next story made the old man look down on him.

It all started that night 10 years ago.

After making sufficient preparations, Old Man Zheng did not hesitate, even though he knew that he was old and his body was not as good as that of a young man, but he still resolutely went to the human shed, intending to rescue the villains.

Those villagers in Mao'er Village, since they have eaten the flesh of villains, their brains are not getting better day by day, and animal nature seems to occupy their brains.

Short-tempered, impulsive and irritable, these are all the sequelae of eating villain flesh.

Unlike the side effects of increased strength, there is no way to resolve these sequelae, that is.......

"The little human flesh turned them into beasts step by step." Old man Zheng said word by word, with an inexplicable sadness in his eyes: "I can't change it back in this life." ”

That night, when Old Man Zheng rushed to the shed, most of the people in the village were asleep, and there was a loud snoring sound coming from every house.

Hearing these voices, Old Man Zheng dared to breathe a sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in his heart was also slightly released.

"From my house to the shed, I didn't find eyeliner all the way, maybe they were too relieved, after all, the village is in the barren mountains and mountains, where will there be thieves to steal?"

"Sir, are the people in your village not good at their heads?" Qibao took the initiative to hand him a cigarette, and asked with a puzzled face: "If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, don't people in the village have two hearts?" Who didn't think about stealing a villain to eat? ”

"Nope." Old man Zheng said with certainty: "No one thinks, no one dares, the village chief's words are bigger than anyone else, he said that he wants to keep the points, then no one dares to move." ”

"Aren't they worried about you stealing?" The old man asked.

"People have become beasts, how can you think so much?" Old man Zheng smiled bitterly.

According to him, it all went well until he rushed to the shed and opened the iron cage where the villain was kept.

There was no accident, no accident, and no one saw it.

"I know that if those villains run away, I must be the first to be suspected." Old man Zheng smiled: "Even if the people in the village are stupid, they can think of it, so I don't plan to stay in the village, I took my luggage that night, and planned to run into the mountain from the human shed, and then walk all the way out of the mountain......."

"Sounds ..... You're going well......." The old man looked at him suspiciously: "After that, you ran into the city?" Started to show up in the rivers and lakes? ”

Old man Zheng was silent for a while, shook his head, and said no.

"Those villains seem to be able to distinguish between good and evil, and know who is good for them and who wants to be bad for them." Old man Zheng smiled a little bitterly, and there was a sense of embarrassment on his face: "When I released them, none of them ran, they all cheered around me, laughing and dancing...... It's more festive than the New Year! ”

Old man Zheng said that a villain's voice is small, but what if it is a group of villains?

Their laughter was already a little shrill and shrill when mixed together, and it became as abrupt as it could in the middle of the night.

Old man Zheng is not stupid, when he saw this situation, he didn't even dare to think about it, and beckoned these villains to run with his luggage.

"The closest to the shed is Zheng Laosan's house, and it was Zheng Laosan who ate the most villain meat during that time, and it was also Zheng Laosan's ......."

"When he ran towards me on all fours, his eyes were shining, like a wild wolf in the mountains, and the green light looked particularly terrifying......"

Speaking of this, Old Man Zheng paused and sighed again.

"As soon as those villains saw the third child coming, they ran away without saying a word, and the brute, who didn't pay attention to me, scratched my paw casually, turned around and went to catch the villain......."

"He doesn't care about you??" Qibao was stunned: "You are the real murderer, how can he ignore you?" ”

"A hungry mad dog will only go to grab food and save food, where is there me in his eyes?" Old man Zheng smiled bitterly and continued to talk to us.

was caught by Zheng Laosan's brute, Zheng Laotou must also be afraid, saying that he is not afraid of death must be false, if he is caught back like this, he will have to be buried in the mountains and fill in the soil.

"Those villains ran so scattered, I could barely save a dozen ......."

Old man Zheng said, his face full of guilt.

"From Mao'er Village to the outside of the mountain, I walked for a full day, probably because of illness, a group of villains died first, this is ......also normal," Old Man Zheng said as if talking to himself: "They were injured before they were put in the iron cage, and the sequelae of smoke have always been there, and they cough almost every once in a while, and they all cough up blood in the end......."

Hearing this, almost everyone here understood.

"Only the two of them survived in the end? Everything else is dead? The old man asked.

Old man Zheng snorted and didn't speak.

"Lao Zheng, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if you are willing to ......."

The old man smiled, with a little doubt in his eyes, looked at Old Man Zheng and asked him, "You said that you were scratched by Zheng Laosan, how ruthless is that?" ”

"The skin was opened, and two of my ribs were broken."

"Can you show me?" The old man asked again.

Old man Zheng seemed to know what he was thinking, smiled and didn't speak, and simply lifted his clothes, exposing the wound on his ribs to the air.

It was a very obvious scratch, five in all, which must have been scratched by someone's hand.

Even after all these years, these scars have no intention of disappearing, and each one is like a worm on the skin, protruding a part of it, and it looks extremely dazzling.

The most difficult thing for us to ignore is the slightly concave ribs of Old Man Zheng.

The bones should be almost healed, but there is a good chance that they are crooked.......

"Don't go." The old man said.

"What?" Old man Zheng was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react a little: "Didn't you just let me go?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to hurt you."

The old man smiled and patted him on the shoulder seriously.

"You're a man, so this bone ..... I've got to get you right! ”
