Forty-eight between hope and despair
A voice said: "The courage to sit here and eat steadily at this life-and-death juncture is really admirable." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info don't worry, wait for him to eat slowly. A man said slowly, his voice full of kindness and indifference.
I looked through the gap in the counter, and saw a smiling white man sitting on a stool, his face pale mixed with yellow, as if he had just had a serious illness and had not yet recovered. The bandit soldier who was called Seventh Brother just now had already stood up at this time, and I saw his legs trembling uncontrollably. I wondered in my heart, when he saw the seventh brother with a scar on his face, he was still shouting happily, how could he see this polite man, but he was so abnormal. The bandit soldier timidly called out "Brother Bai Yu" and stood there without making a sound. ”
"I told you to go and find another way out, did you find it? The one named Bai Yuge said softly, his voice was full of kindness.
"A few of us went to ask, but the people of the village, when they saw that we were coming, all hid far away, and when we saw that there was an inn here, we wanted to come and ask the innkeeper, who must know where there is a path to the outside." The bandit said.
"Uncle, tell me, when he entered your inn just now, what was the first thing he did?" The kind-faced white man called Brother Bai Yu finished speaking and looked at my grandfather.
My grandfather looked at the bandit. Through the crack, I saw the crotch of the bandit's pants, which was already wet, and his whole body was shaking.
The one named Bai Yuge, seeing that his grandfather looked at the bandit hesitantly, smiled and continued: "Uncle, don't lie, the one who lies, Lord Yama, can smell the smell of his body." ”
"This, this soldier, is probably hungry, after entering the door, he only ate a few bites of food after entering the door." Grandpa said hesitantly as if he knew what was going to happen.
The bandit soldier suddenly knelt on his knees and kowtowed in front of the white jade brother, and he didn't even say a word. I was curious at the time, how could such a kind-faced Bai Yu brother suddenly make this bandit so frightened that he peed his pants and kowtowed?
Suddenly, I felt a flash of white light in front of me, and then, a stream of blood spurted out with the flash of white light. I couldn't help but let out a soft "ah". I saw my grandfather's body shake a little. Later, when I grew up, I realized that my grandfather was shaking because he heard my soft "ah" sound.
As if they knew what was going to happen, they didn't feel a hint of suddenness in front of them. It's just that the other bandits who came in first with the killed bandits, their legs were weak, and they all knelt on the ground, like chickens pecking at rice grains, and they couldn't stop kowtowing to Brother Bai Yu.
"Rise up, all of you, and see if everyone has no little fingers on their hands. The white jade brother said softly. His voice made everyone present at the time feel cold in their hearts.
The few people who couldn't stop kowtowing, listening to him, were stunned at first, and then, as if overjoyed, turned around, pulled out their waist knives, and cut off their left little finger without hesitation. I saw that their faces were pale with pain, but their faces were as relieved as if they had been granted amnesty.
"Uncle, is there a path here?" That Bai Yu brother no longer looked at those people, turned his face, and asked grandpa with a smile.
"No, there is no path, a small land, just the wooden bridge three miles away." Grandpa hesitated and said.
"Oh! Old man, Lord Yama can smell the smell of a liar. That Bai Yu brother said.
"Here, there is indeed only that bridge, if you don't believe it, you soldiers can go and ask the people in the village." Grandpa said.
"The people in the village say, you have a grandson, and he looks very cute." That Bai Yu brother suddenly smiled and asked this irrelevant sentence.
I was secretly curious at the time, I don't look like people, what does he matter. I saw my grandfather's hair turn gray in that instant.
After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly stopped squeaking, stretched out his hand, and wiped the corners of his eyes.
In the lobby, it was so quiet that you could almost hear each other's breathing. Everyone was secretly thinking: I don't know how many times more tense the atmosphere at that time was than now.
"To the west of the shop, about five miles of road, there is a small road that leads to the southwest, which only a few people in the village know. If you go out from here, no one else should know. My grandfather said.
I don't know when, the old man had an extra dry cigarette in his hand, leaned over the fire and lit it, and took a deep breath. The wrinkles on the face, as if, are much deeper.
"I wonder if my husband can take us to that path?" That white jade brother said.
"That road is not clean, military masters, let's find another way." Grandpa's voice trembled a little.
"What could be anything unclean, in broad daylight, of so many of us. I'm afraid that your old man doesn't want to take us there, right? There was already a hint of impatience in Brother Bai Yu's voice. With a gloomy face, he continued, "The people in your village say that only you have walked that road, your son has walked, and your daughter-in-law has also walked. Why do you say that the road is not clean, when your family has walked it? You old thing, I don't know what to do, are you deliberately delaying Lao Tzu's time here? Take us quickly, or I'll kill you three with one sword." ”
When I saw him finish speaking, he kicked my grandfather to the ground, and I couldn't be afraid anymore and rushed out from behind the counter. For a moment, I saw the desperate eyes of my grandmother and my grandfather who had fallen to the ground. Grandma just wanted to come over and hug me, but was held tightly by two bandits. I rushed towards the white jade brother who kicked down my grandfather. I heard my grandfather and grandmother calling me by my nickname in despair.
Before I could reach him, he had already kicked me to the ground, and as I fell to the ground, I heard the sound of his knife being slashed off the bandit's head. Suddenly, a body pounced on my head, protecting my head, hugging my waist, and then another pair of hands tightly wrapped around my legs.
"If you want to kill, you should kill our old couple first, you killed my grandson, what is the meaning of our life!! Without him, we would have long since ceased to live, and without him, we would not be as good as dead. Grandma hugged and protected my legs, screaming and crying.
"I have lost my son and daughter-in-law, if it weren't for my grandson who supported our hopes, we would have rotted bones more than ten years ago, if you want to kill, you should kill me first." If you kill my grandson, I will never lead the way for you, even if I bite my tongue and die, I will never lead the way, without my guidance, you will never want to get out of that 'road of no return'. "Grandpa protected me, and his voice was already full of grief and despair.
"Old thing, do you think we can't go that way without you leading the way? I'll slaughter a few of you first, so that you can have a companion on the Huangquan Road together. The demon called Brother Bai Yu said coldly, and with a knife, I was lying on the bottom of my grandfather's body, and I could also hear the wind brought by the long knife being chopped down.
