Chapter 13: Death to Atone
The leader sneered: "It doesn't matter, the father and daughter have to pay for the debt, and they have to pay for it with her life." ”
Ye Xiaoqi was furious when he heard him so unreasonable, and was about to argue with him, but he suddenly heard Chen Nian, who was sitting on the side, ask the leader in a cold voice: "If you want Xiaoliu to pay for her life, then what did I do to save her life just now?"
The leader choked up at her question, and defended himself: "These are two different things. ”
Chen Nian sneered and said, "It turns out that you also know what two different things are. You only remember Wen Fengming's harm to others, have you forgotten that night it was Xiaoliu who fled back to the village to report the news that night, and if it weren't for Xiaoliu's righteous murder, you might have seen through Wen Fengming's mask, and you wouldn't have been able to serve him as a big boss now. ”
On the night of August 15, Wen Fengming incited the villagers to kill Zhang Kuisu, and many people were fooled at that time, and this leader was one of them, and he also moved against Zhang Kuisu with Shan Likun and others. Now that Chen Nian is squeezed by Chen Nian with words, the leader's face is red and white, and he can't even speak in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Jiang Yingchen hurriedly came out to play a round and said, "What the girl said is reasonable, we are all seven-foot men, and we should have clear grievances." Wen Fengming is guilty, but Xiaoliu is not wrong, today it was all up to her to deceive Wen Fengming, let's thank this girl who understands righteousness. ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, Zhang Kuisu and Lu Rongfeng just got the news and rushed over, glanced at Wen Fengming's corpse, came over to look at Chen Nian, and said, "Good girl, let you suffer." ”
The sparrow that came with his father stepped forward, and knelt down for Chen Nian without saying a word, Chen Nian was in a hurry for a while, and hurriedly shouted: "Sparrow, get up quickly, what is this doing." The sparrow didn't say a word, but only bent down to kowtow to Chennian. Chen Nian wanted to help her, but he couldn't move his arms for the time being, and hurriedly said to Lu Xiao beside him: "Lu Xiao, go and help her up." ”
Lu Xiao also felt that the girl who kowtowed when she came up was too strange, and stretched out her hand to drag the spirit sparrow, but she threw it away at once. In the end, the spirit bird kowtowed to Chen Nian three times, and then said in a deep voice: "Chen Nian, my three heads are for my father, thank you for clearing his suspicion." As for me, this life was originally saved by you, and the word thank you is too false. I only want to say one sentence: Heaven and earth are the proof, but in the future, if you can use me, no matter the sword, the mountain and the sea of fire, I will never say anything. ”
Her words were crisp and neat, and her face was also very resolute, Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows unconsciously, and asked her, "Seriously,"
Hearing this, Lingque raised his eyes to look at him, and said, "Don't really talk about it," her tone was not good, but Lu Xiao didn't care about her, and even smiled at her with the corners of his mouth, and said, "You can't get up, when are you going to kneel?"
Only then did the sparrow stand up, but stood next to Chennian. Over there, Jiang Yingchen and the others saw that everyone was almost gathered, so they discussed with everyone to inform the whole village of Wen Fengming's matter, so that everyone could know who the traitor was. Everyone was discussing, and Xiaoliu in the distance woke up in Ye Xiaoqi's arms, stunned for a moment, and then remembered what happened before, and was anxious to ask Ye Xiaoqi's father and Chen Nian, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his throat.
Ye Xiaoqi saw that she was in such a hurry, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Xiaoliu didn't know that her father was dead, her throat was injured, and she couldn't make a sound, so she could only ask with difficulty: "What about my father and Chennian?"
Ye Xiaoqi didn't know how to answer her for a while, and she was silent for a while, and Xiaoliu immediately sensed that something was wrong, and struggled to get up to see. How dare Xiao Qi call her over, he hurriedly grabbed her, reached out to cover Xiao Liu's eyes in a panic, and said urgently: "Xiao Liu, don't go over, don't look." ”
Xiao Liu saw Wen Fengming lying on the ground in the distance at a glance, and under the horror, his weak body suddenly burst out with great strength, pushing Ye Xiaoqi to the side, and rushing towards Wen Fengming's corpse.
Wen Fengming's neck was cut off by Lu Xiao, and the head rolled out far away, Jiang Yingchen and the others would not go to find it for him, Xiao Liu rolled and crawled to pick up the head back, trying to connect with the body, but how could the broken neck be connected, after trying a few times, Xiao Liu finally despaired, and fell on his father and cried.
No matter how despicable and vicious things he did, no matter how he used her life to threaten others before, he was her father, a father who loved her for more than ten years and raised her alone.
Xiao Liu cried heartbreakingly, but he couldn't make a sound, this silent picture came into the eyes of everyone, it was the person who hated Wen Fengming no matter how much he saw it, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw it.
Zhang Kuisu was stunned, and in a trance he saw the old and young corpses that could not be seen at a glance in the flying dragon that day, the stumps and broken arms that were dragged by the beasts and could not be recovered, and saw the skyrocketing fire on the day of the broken village, the fighting of the brothers in the village, and the blood sprinkled everywhere like rain. Everything is just from his greed, thinking that he can recast the glory of his ancestors, and thinking that he can make Qingfeng Village the world's largest "righteous village".
The more Zhang Kuisu thought about it, the more guilty he blamed himself, his mind was in turmoil, and he was discouraged, he didn't know whether he was sighing Wen Fengming or sighing himself, he shook his head again and again and sighed: "I knew this was the case, why bother at the beginning, why bother at the beginning." After speaking, he raised his hand and slapped it at his Tailing Gai. His internal strength was already deep, and this palm was infused with all his power to shoot it, and it immediately shattered the Heavenly Spirit Cover, and the person also fell to the ground.
Jiang Yingchen and the others next to him were all attracted to Xiaoliu's attention before, and when they saw Zhang Kuisu suddenly raise his palm and slap at him, they were frightened and rushed forward to save him, but where was it still in time, Liu and Zhao The two leaders were close to Zhang Kuisu, and they rushed over to catch Zhang Kuisu, and shouted bitterly: "Brother Zhang." Why are you so troubled? ”
Zhang Kuisu's breath was weak, his eyes were scattered and he looked at the night sky, and said in a trembling voice: "I am??" The sinners of Qingfeng Village are not sorry to die. After I die?? Hang the corpse on?? Exposed to the sun?? For three days, everyone spat and pointed out. ”
Leader Liu and Zhang Kuisu had the deepest relationship, and they suddenly cried silently when they heard the words.
Zhang Kuisu's skull was cracked, and it was the end of the crossbow until this moment, and his eyes were no longer able to see, and he grabbed two handfuls in the air indiscriminately before he grabbed Leader Liu's arm, and hissed with all his strength: "If you still think that I am the eldest brother, just follow what I say." ”
Leader Liu had no choice but to nod and cry: "Yes." I follow what my eldest brother said. ”
Zhang Kuisu showed a smile on his face, and said with great difficulty: "Bury me, bury me,"
But before he could finish this sentence, the person was already angry and died in the arms of Leader Liu. Leader Liu and Leader Zhao and several other brothers who were close to Zhang Kuisu couldn't help but cry bitterly, and Jiang Yingchen and many villagers couldn't help but think of Zhang Kuisu's benefits on weekdays, and they wept one after another.
Chen Nian had been sitting on the stone stupidly, and she didn't react for a long time, she never imagined that Zhang Kuisu would suddenly commit suicide at this moment. Although Zhang Kuisu had said in front of everyone that he was shameless to live in this world, she thought that it was just an exaggeration by him to show his guilt, just to fool the villagers for a while, but she didn't want him to really commit suicide. Just when Wen Fengming had already been pulled out and most of the guilt could be washed away, Zhang Kuisu slapped himself to death.
Lu Xiao sighed in a low voice on the side: "No matter what this person's character is, he is really a man." ”
Chen Nian was in a state of confusion, sitting there watching everyone carry Zhang Kuisu's body away, watching Xiao Liu crouch on Wen Fengming's body and crying and fainting, watching Ye Xiaoqi carefully pick up Xiao Liu and leave without looking at her.
Jiang Yingchen walked over to her, and said with concern in his eyes: "Chennian girl, you are injured, go back and rest for a while, many things will not be dealt with until tomorrow and tomorrow." ”
Chen Nian was in a trance, and wanted to stand up in response, only to find that his legs were too weak to stand up, and he tried twice, but he couldn't stand up. The spirit sparrow beside her was busy trying to reach out to help her, but suddenly remembered that Chen Nian's arms were injured and couldn't be touched. As soon as she hesitated, Lu Xiao on the other side had already stretched out his hand to support Chen Nian's waist and lifted her up.
Lu Xiao asked Chen Nian, "How are you?"
Chen Nian shook his head and said softly: "You let go, I can go by myself." ”
Lu Xiao frowned slightly, but he explained to Lingque: "You come to help her." ”
Lingque hurriedly walked around to him, and held Chen Nian's waist with both hands like him, Lu Xiao let go of his hand, took two steps back, and said, "Help her go back." ”
Chen Nian didn't speak, and with the spirit bird back to the residence, she helped clean the blood stains on her body, and then she fell asleep, but it was a sleepless night. At dawn, the spirit bird brought food over, Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask her, "How are Ye Xiaoqi and Xiaoliu?"
The spirit sparrow paused for a moment, and then replied to her: "It's still in the village." ”
Chen Nian noticed the difference in the spirit sparrow, so he asked again: "Spirit sparrow, what happened to the two of them, is there something wrong?"
Lingque knew that he couldn't hide this from Chennian, so instead of telling her to be suspicious, he told her clearly. Lingque thought about it, simply put down the rice bowl in his hand, and said to Chen Nian: "The two of them are fine, Jiang Da said that although Wen Fengming is guilty, Xiaoliu is innocent, although Ye Xiaoqi came forward to help Wen Fengming testify against Zhang Da that day, it is indeed the truth, and it is not wrong." ”
Chen Nian relieved himself a little and responded: "It should be so, Jiang Da is a person who understands." ”
Lingque hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "It's just that Wen Fengming is deeply guilty, and so many innocent old and young people in the village died tragically, all because of him. Though others are dead, they still can't appease the wrath of the people. A person like Zhang Da's family committed suicide to apologize, and asked someone to hang his body at the gate of the village to show the public, and Wen Fengming was not exempt. After discussing with the leaders, the head of Jiang Da also hung Wen Fengming's body at the gate of the village. ”
Chen Nian heard this, and immediately asked, "What about Xiaoliu,"
