Chapter 157: The Battle of the Ox (1)
A weak voice rang out in the crowd: "Wrong... It's none of our business, heroine! The man who slew your brother was Uda, and we handed him over to you, and you have not gouged out his eyes and heart? He, his daughter-in-law, and son are all dead, so let the hero let us go......"
Hong Sanniang laughed on her back and pointed at the group of people: "Whose business is it?" Look, such a high wall," she pointed to the high wall of dirt lumps beside the road, "which family can build it without the strong labor?" ”
She paced two steps, waved the boy's body in her hand, and said, "My brother fell off this wall and broke his head!" Tell me, which one has anything to do with it?! ”
The villagers lowered their eyes and did not dare to look at her. Just now, she forced them to hand over the "murderer" - Urizheng's family. Then in front of the whole village, Wu Lizheng's son, daughter-in-law and grandson were brutally killed, leaving only the old Li Zheng.
They were just scared, and they didn't feel uneasy or guilty. For it was indeed Uri who was leading them up a wall and striking at the intruders with stones. If it weren't for Uri's promise that as long as everyone was united, they would be able to drive out these thieves, causing them to be angry and passionate, how could they do such a stupid thing?
Now that Uri is ruined, the revenge of this group of people has been avenged, and everything has been robbed, shouldn't he leave here?
"Everyone here is going to die. It happens that two things are done at the same time—that is, to sacrifice your brother who has died unjustly, and it is also a ceremony to say goodbye to my homeland. Hong Sanniang suddenly said in a dark voice.
The crowd was stunned for a moment and fried the pot.
Someone shouted: "Fight! ”
Before he could finish speaking, the man was pierced in the chest with a spear by the bandits behind him, held it high, and walked slowly around the crowd. The man was not dead for a while, and he wailed miserably, and blood was spilled. The bandits beat the gongs and drums.
The crowd was silenced, and someone peed their pants.
Hong Sanniang waved her hand in time: "No, no, not all of them have to die." In each family, I will keep one person to remember the kindness of my red mother. Consult among yourselves, and decide which one you want to keep, and stand by the well. She gestured to a dry well next to her.
"Those who survived, remember it firmly for me! Originally, your family would not have died. It was your Li Zheng who killed them, because he led you to do stupid things and wanted to deal with me, Hong Sanniang! ”
Seeing that the crowd did not move, she closed her eyes: "I counted to one, and no one passed, so I killed them all." ”
She finished. Leave a messy time for the panicked crowd.
"Abba and Grandma, I won't leave......"
"Be obedient!"
"You can live for a few more years, let me!"
"Since childhood, you have all been eccentric!"
"Nope! I don't want to die! ”
The voices of the people boiled, and the chaos became a pot of porridge.
Finally, Hong Sanniang's voice sounded coldly again-
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, one!"
The crowd screamed, some rushed to the dry well with trembling legs, and others were pushed out by their families.
After a burst of chickens and dogs, Hong Sanniang slapped her face: "It's time to buy it and leave!" ”
Looking at the well, there were about thirty people huddled in one place, all children and young men, and no women.
"Throw it down." Hong Sanniang said coldly.
Receiving the order, dozens of bandits stepped forward and pushed those people down the well.
The turn of events came suddenly. Before anyone could react, the thirty or so people had already been thrown into the well.
"Cheap—people! I'm fighting with you! A woman saw her son screaming and falling into the well, and screamed and pounced on Hong Sanniang in a hurry.
Just now, she and her husband worked together to drive their son over, thinking that sacrificing themselves would give her son a chance to live, but she didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, her son died tragically in front of him.
Hong Sanniang slapped the woman so much that blood spurted from her mouth and nose.
"I'm doing this for your own good! You don't know how to be grateful! You don't even want your own life for the sake of others, you are good people! Good people don't damn! Damn the bad guys! Look at those selfish guys, they only cared about their lives and ran away, they abandoned you, they are wolf-hearted bad people! They don't deserve to live! She pointed to the dry well and walked around irritably.
When she counted down, she jumped directly from "four" to "one", and some people didn't have time to run over, and when they were sweating in a hurry, they saw such a change in the field, and they didn't know whether they were sad or happy for a while.
They were originally simple farmers, and all their lives, the troubles they could encounter were difficulties in paying rent, poor harvests, and their sons not being able to marry their daughters-in-law.
Hong Sanniang admired the expressions on everyone's faces with satisfaction.
She clapped her hands: "Okay, since the most precious person in every family is gone......"
She looked at the dry well: "Fill it with stones." ”
The villagers stared blankly. They have been subdued, have lost all their blood and dignity, and handed over the Uri family to survive. But Hong Sanniang did not let them go because of their tameness, she forced them to part with their relatives and die, forced them to sacrifice themselves, and changed the way of life for the closest people.
When they held the belief that they would die and left their hope of life to their relatives, Hong Sanniang extinguished the small flame they lit on the spot.
This change happened so suddenly, except for the woman who had lost her big teeth, the rest of the people did not come to their senses at all, there was no anger, just a blank. even had a secret thought in the bottom of my heart: Is it not that I have lost the person I cherish the most, even if I have given it all? Even so, they did not protest loudly, can the bandits know their sincerity? Will the suffering end? Is it possible to live and be a walking corpse from now on?
However, this most humble wish was also shattered - Hong Sanniang had no intention of letting them go at all!
Hong Sanniang turned her head with a cruel smile: "Then, it's not interesting for you to live, isn't it?" I will do a good job in the end, and send you to the past for a family reunion. ”
The crowd erupted.
They finally woke up to the fact that she had been toying with them from the very beginning! From the very beginning, she was going to kill everyone! Whether they are obedient or disobedient, whether they hand over their food, whether they hand over their Uri Zheng family or not, whether they hand over their own blood and dignity.
They saw through it, and their eyes finally burst out with determination and courage.
Fight with this woman!
However, even then, the first person to rush forward did not appear. They were all waiting—waiting for the person next to them to take the lead; Wait for the conscience of the female bandit leader to find out; Wait for the heroes to fall from the sky......
……
In short, it's definitely not waiting for these two weird-looking, conjoined babies, riding on the back of a cow.
The woman on the back of the cow looked angry, very angry. But the villagers knew that anger was completely useless.
They were also angry, and the result?
But a secret joy also rises in their hearts - distracted by these two strange people, maybe the bandit will forget them.
