Chapter 2: Struggling to Live in Sin
The stone sat on a dirt bag, chewing a dry weed in its mouth, and looked into the distance. There is a thick smoke and dust in the distance www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion, which makes the sun in the sky blurred, a scene without any life, such a scene will be barren after a long time.
"Brother Shi, what are you thinking?" Er Ya walked over and sat next to him.
"I want to be a bandit. ”
"Bandits? I heard that bandits robbed money and killed people. ”
"I want to be a good bandit, rob the rich and give it to the poor, and kill the wicked, especially the wicked such as the Heavenly Master and the Divine Servant. "Uncle Youliang's dead stone is firmly in my heart.
"No matter what you are, you are my brother and will never change. ”
"Well, let's go, go home. The stone spat out the chewy hay in his mouth, shook the dust off his body, and walked home.
As soon as Shi and Erya walked to the head of the village, they ran into Blackface and a group of children wandering around the village. As soon as Erya saw the black face, she hid behind the stone, and the stone held Erya's hand and signaled her not to be afraid.
"Who is this, no father and no mother?" said the black face in a loud voice, and then a group of people blocked the road.
"I'm holding a hatchet. Stone glared at the black face.
The black face shrank back slightly, and raised his neck again and said, "You still dare to cut me? You have already killed her father, you can cut me again!"
"Don't think I don't dare. The stone took out the knife pinned to his waist.
"Second uncle, someone wants to cut me!" Black Face immediately shouted at his throat.
The black-faced second uncle immediately walked out of the alley on the side, and said as he walked: "Whose kid is this, so cross-sided, and he still cuts people casually?"
The stone stared at the black-faced second uncle, clutching the firewood knife in his hand.
The black-faced second uncle didn't talk nonsense, he came up with a slap, and the stone wanted to hide but couldn't. Shi Shi was just an eight-year-old child, no longer as tall as an adult's legs, and was slapped by the black-faced second uncle and flew out.
"This slap is to educate and educate you for your father, and it will be too late for you to kill. ”
"Brother Stone. "Er Ya has no choice but to cry.
Half of the stone was numb, his eyes were even more sore, and his nose was bleeding all over his face. He endured it and didn't dare to blink, afraid that tears would fall if he blinked, and the second uncle, who was staring at the black face, stood up with difficulty with a firewood knife. Stone was furious, and if he could, he would have hacked the blackface family to death.
Crazy people are crazy in their bones, and ordinary people can't learn it anymore, but Stone is a crazy person.
"It's tough. An adult's feet are the size of a child's chest, and the black-faced second uncle kicked the stone without hesitation. If someone hadn't come from afar, the black-faced second uncle would have kicked a few more times, and the black-faced second uncle said coldly: "Little bastard, have a longer memory." ”
Blackface followed behind his second uncle, kicked the stone several times before leaving, and said viciously when he left: "You can't survive tonight!"
Erya could only lie on the body of the stone and cry.
"Erya, don't cry, I'm fine, let's go home. The stone stood up tremblingly against the wall.
......
At dusk, the wind blows, leaving only sand where there is not a single grass, and after this wind the village is dyed an earthy yellow. Soon, the wind became stronger, and there were not only yellow sand, but also small pebbles, and the tiles that hit them made a loud sound, and it hurt to hit people's bodies, and no one wanted to come out in such weather, except for bandits.
On the high slope outside the village, thirty fast horses and thirty fast knives.
The neighing of men swept into the sand, and thirty fast horses rushed into the village.
Bandits not only robbed but also killed.
Killing does not obtain treasure, but killing has a kind of pleasure, the pleasure of complete depravity, and such chaotic years can only live comfortably by forgetting that you are still a person.
All the people in Blackface's family were waiting at the head of the village, and Blackface's father knew that bandits were coming, so he gave the bandits money, so that his family could survive, and he gave the bandits some money, so some designated people in the village would definitely be killed by the bandits.
The strong horses directly slammed into the door of the stone house, and the shiny swords danced several knife flowers in the air, and three bandits with sabers broke into the stone house.
Shi and Erya were hidden in the cellar, but my father and mother were not hidden, and there must be someone in the house, otherwise the bandits would not leave. No one will go out in such weather, and only when they find someone will the bandits give up.
"Your child's name is Stone?" the bandit questioned Father Stone with a knife.
"We don't have any children. Daddy Stone said.
"No children, why are there four pairs of chopsticks at home?" the bandit sneered.
Father Shi pushed his wife behind him and shouted, "Stone, run away with Erya!" Before the bandits could react, he was already blocking the door with a firewood knife in his hand.
"It's his family, kill them all!" the scar-faced bandit said immediately.
As soon as Shi heard his father's words, he immediately pulled Erya out of the cellar and ran out without looking back. Stone took Erya and ran all the way to the entrance of the village to avoid the bandits, and almost bumped into the blackface family waiting here. Shi hurriedly pulled Erya to the side and hid, the place where they were hiding happened to be downwind, and the words of the black-faced family and the bandits could be heard.
"Wang Youcai, you want a lot of heads. The bandit said to his father with a black face.
"Brother Shan, I gave a lot of money. ”
"That's not a lot of money in a year like this. ”
"How much more does Big Brother Shan want?"
"I wonder how many you have in your house?" the bandit leader laughed.
Wang Youcai really sweated, and Wang Youcai was also afraid that he would be killed by bandits and rob all his property.
"Brother Shan, Zhang Tianshi has collected all the money, and there is really not much money left below. "Wang Youcai is not stupid, and he took out Zhang Tianshi as a shield.
"You say, is this Heavenly Master made of human flesh?" said the bandit leader, looking at the saber.
"Zhang Tianshi was also born to his father, but Zhang Tianshi bathed in holy light and was blessed by heaven. ”
"Then you say, can Zhang Tianshi withstand the knife cut?" the bandit leader licked the blade with his tongue.
Wang Youcai's sweat immediately flowed, and the words of the bandit leader were really obvious, obviously he wanted to kill himself. Wang Youcai now had two choices: one was to continue to take out Zhang Tianshi to make the bandits a little more fearful, and the second was to immediately take out all his treasures. Greed always makes people lose their minds, and Wang Youcai still chose the first path.
"Zhang Tianshi is a person chosen by heaven and is not bound by mortals......"
Before Wang Youcai could finish speaking, the bandit leader's face changed, and without the slightest hesitation, he slashed down, and Wang Youcai's head was immediately cut off, and blood splattered all over the ground.
"I don't know if Zhang Tianshi can withstand the cut, I thought that you might be able to withstand the cut like Zhang Tianshi, but I didn't expect that you are also made of meat, if you don't cut it, you can't even carry a knife. The bandit leader said lightly. "I've said so much, why don't you understand it? Zhang Tianshi, who is still strong, Zhang Tianshi, do you think you are Zhang Tianshi? You believe in Zhang Tianshi, but I don't believe in anything, I only believe in the knife in my hand. Aren't you looking for your own death?"
The black-faced family was so frightened that they immediately knelt down, no one dared to go forward and hug Wang Youcai's body and cry bitterly, everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to cry.
"You, come out and get money at home, or you all have to be like him. The bandit leader pointed to Wang Youcai's body.
The black-faced second uncle immediately ran out, and the bandit leader took a look, and the two bandits followed, dragging the body of the black-faced second uncle when they came back.
"Big brother, he still wants to run. ”
The bandit leader immediately burst out laughing, and suddenly stopped laughing and said, "Kill them all, burn the village." ”
"Big brother, Wang Youcai's wife is good. One of the bandits said.
"Haha, leave it to you, and kill it when you're done. ”
"Brother Xie. ”
All the bandits brandished their sabers rushed to each house.
The stone covered Erya's mouth tightly, Erya was already trembling with fright, if it wasn't for the stone covering Erya's mouth, Erya must have howled and cried.
......
At night, the wind howled in the alley, and the smell of blood and the smell of burning things intertwined and spread around.
I didn't dare to move for too long, the body of the stone and the second girl was already stiff, if it wasn't for the fire and the stone gritted his teeth and stood up, they would have been burned to death by the fire. Stone forced himself to wake up, took Erya to the outside of the village, told Erya to stay where he was and not walk around, and then went home to find his father. He still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that his father and mother are still alive.
The wind at night was originally very cold, but the scorching fire in the village had become very warm and comfortable to blow on people. Er Ya didn't feel any comfort, only fear, especially after Brother Shi left, Er Ya was even more frightened, and unconsciously walked towards the sea of fire.
It took a long time for the stone to come out of the village, but he found that Er Ya was no longer in place.
"Erya!Erya......" Stone shouted and searched.
......
It was very late in the morning, the stone hugged Erya tightly, Erya's body was trembling all the time, and those bloody pictures had been playing repeatedly in her mind, a child could not bear this fear at all, and would even be scared into a fool.
After Er Ya opened his eyes, he kept staring at the stone until the stone also woke up, and Er Ya asked, "Brother Shi, do you really want to be a bandit?"
"I don't know. ”
"Brother Shi, don't be a bandit. ”
"Hmm. ”
......
The smell of burnt meat attracted wild dogs and crows, which were fattened by the dead men.
The stone did not find his father, but only caught a glimpse of his father's head in the firelight, and at that moment he collapsed, fell to his knees, and could not even cry, but could only roar like a wild beast, until he had no strength and collapsed to the ground. It was a long time before he remembered Erya, and if he hadn't had to take care of Erya, he would have stayed in the fire.
A lonely person can't live, only nostalgia and concern can give people the strength to continue to live.
There are still survivors in the village, and Shi took Erya to look for food in the village, but the people they met were no longer called people, they were eating dead people like wild dogs.
In order to survive, what is the point of cannibalism?
Not just the dead, but even the living are killed and eaten. In the first few days, those survivors who ate human flesh were still afraid of being seen, but then they were no longer afraid of being seen by others, and then the eyes of those people looking at the stone and the second girl changed, it was completely the eyes of the wolf when they saw the meat, after all, tender meat is better than old meat.
The stone carried a firewood knife with him, and the second girl followed the stone step by step.
A pair of withered hands mixed with blood and char grabbed the second girl behind the stone, and the other man with a cloak also pounced on the stone.
"Brother Shi!" Erya was dragged away before he could finish shouting.
The stone instantly pulled out the firewood knife pinned to his waist, and without hesitation, slashed at the thigh of the person who came to grab him, and suddenly blood gushed out, the person fell to the ground with a wail, and the stone immediately ran to chase Erya.
......
Shi took some dry food he had picked up in the ruins and walked towards the east with Erya facing the rising sun. There is no place to be nostalgic in the village, and the only option to stay in the village is to starve to death or be eaten, and the only option is to leave.
Shi killed the person after catching up with the person who dragged Erya away, and he didn't know where he got the strength to actually kill an adult.
The light of the morning sun shone brightly on the blade of the firewood knife, as if you could still see yesterday's blood.
Two children, one older and one younger, slowly walked through the wilderness until they disappeared to the end.
