Chapter 49 The proceeds of the bandits were looted
Seeing hundreds of ordinary people kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and making gestures, and saying words of gratitude, Qiao Xiaojing and the others could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts, and they all shed tears.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Qiao Xiaojing led her teammates to help the fellow who was kneeling on the ground, she said with a crying voice, "Get up, don't do this again, how can we stand your actions like this?" We are originally the children of poor families, we are the team of ordinary people, and when the villagers are in trouble, we should lend a helping hand to help you get through the difficulties......
"Folks, get up!"
"That's what you should do, you don't have to do this to us. ”
"Get up, fellows, don't kneel anymore......"
Including Boss Wu and Lao Zhou, while supporting the villagers kneeling on the ground, they expressed their gratitude to the villagers.
"Since the villagers think that what we are doing has to be affirmed," Qiao Xiaojing said, "we have one thing to ask for, and we hope that the villagers can help us, what is it? Very simple, that is, to help us bury the bodies of the bandits." No matter what bad things they did in their lifetime, after all, they are all dead, and the dead must always be buried in peace, which is as it should be for anyone. ”
"Don't worry, we'll leave this matter to you, old man, and I'll promise you once again that we're going to bury those bandits. The old man said in front of the villagers.
"Yes......" the fellows all agreed with the old man's promise.
After Qiao Xiaojing's efforts, the villagers finally stood up, they smiled and applauded Qiao Xiaojing and them, and consciously separated, making a way in the middle of the road, allowing Qiao Xiaojing and their heroes to walk through it.
Qiao Xiaojing and the others kept waving to the crowd on both sides and thanked them.
When the team reached the middle of the crowd, suddenly someone behind them shouted: "That sack belongs to our family, it was robbed from our house, the bandit is dead, this thing should be returned to its original owner, it should be returned to us." ”
"The one on the horse's neck," someone shouted, "the black bag is our own, and the bag was a hundred meters from the south." In that case, then our family's belongings should also be returned to us. ”
"You have all said so," cried another another, "my wife's dowry has been robbed by the robbers, and now that the robbers are dead, and they have all taken everything, should my wife's gold and silver jewelry be returned to me?" ”
“......”
"Since the things are ours," someone shouted, "then we should divide them, and whoever owns them will take them, so that we will suffer less losses......
"It should be divided ......"
"Now that we've got everything back, we can't let anyone else take it anymore......"
"Everyone knows very well that life is quite difficult now, and soon everyone's mouth will be strangled on the belt of their trousers, since everything is back, whoever should be is who's who's, and we can't stop our things because who's good to us......"
"Uncle Wang is angry because the robbers robbed things......"
"The old man Mao in the west of the town was robbed by bandits, and he couldn't figure it out, so he hanged himself on the beams of the house......"
Although Dazhi and the big man repeatedly explained to the villagers, but there were many mouths, and their explanations were almost drowned in the noise of the people, and as the crowd shouted, more and more villagers rushed over, surrounding the three horses with things, and some people had even begun to reach out to thank the horses from their backs.
"Fellow villagers," shouted Dazhi, "these things have indeed been seized from the bandits' den, but they are trophies, they belong to the collective, and they can no longer be regarded as personal things, and no one can take them away. ”
"What loot?" someone retorted, "this is obviously our thing, the bandits snatched it from us, and then you got it, but it was just a twist of your hand, no matter how many people's hands are transferred, it is also our thing, this will not change at any time, it is our thing." ”
"Since it's ours," someone shouted, "then we should take it back, we can't let anyone else take it, let's grab it, let's grab each other's things......
The shouts became louder and louder, and the people became more and more impulsive, and the three horses in the hands of Dazhi and the big man were surrounded by the villagers and explained more and more, separating Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu, Ah Zi, and Boss Wu from Lao Zhou.
"Fellow villagers," Qiao Xiaojing said to the crowded crowd when she saw that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, "Fellow villagers, I know that each of your families has been robbed by those bandits, and you have suffered great losses, and many valuable things have been robbed by the bandits, and I deeply sympathize with you." But you can't touch these things, because they were captured in battle......"
At this moment, it seemed that all the fellow villagers couldn't hear Qiao Xiaojing's voice, although she tried to shout.
"Fellow villagers," Qiao Xiaojing reluctantly climbed onto the horse that Jade was riding, raised her voice and shouted, "Please listen to me! I know that many of these things were stolen by those robbers from the villagers' homes, and I am very sympathetic to the villagers for having such a plight, but I also hope that everyone can understand our difficulties, and we can't let your things go to you now." Please believe us, we will discuss it after we go back, and we will return it to everyone, but now I hope that everyone will not mess around, let alone rob, everything must be handled in a safe manner......"
But the villagers were all worried about grabbing things, and no one listened to Qiao Xiaojing's words at all, Qiao Xiaojing shook her head helplessly.
"Team Leader Qiao," Lao Zhou covered his mouth and shouted, "This is not the way, or we will shoot our guns, maybe this will make the people stop looting things." You say, shouldn't we fire guns to maintain order?"
"No!" Qiao Xiaojing's attitude was very resolute.
"That's not good," that Boss Wu really couldn't stand it, Dazhi and the big man had already drowned in the crowd, and the crowd was like a tide rushing towards the three horses carrying things, no one could see what the situation was in the crowd, even Qiao Xiaojing, who was standing on horseback, couldn't see the situation in the whirlpool of people, let alone Boss Wu, he said coldly, " When a common person sees someone robbing something, especially if he has the same identity as himself, and even his own neighbors, even if his own things are not robbed by bandits, he will definitely move the idea of robbing something, and the situation will definitely be chaotic......"
"Then what do you think?" Qiao Xiaojing asked without waiting for Boss Wu to finish speaking.
"Or," said Boss Wu, "or fire a warning gun and let the fellows put down their things, and whoever doesn't put down their things will be punished according to their fellow bandits......
"No!" Qiao Xiaojing's face changed when she heard the words "Punishment of Bandit Accomplices", and then said, "The fellow villagers are victims, and now that they see their own things in front of them, it is understandable that they are a little impulsive. If we shoot in order to prevent the villagers from stealing things, this is to scare the villagers, and it is to show off our power in front of the villagers, and we will make a mistake. No, absolutely not, no matter what, they are unarmed ordinary people and must not shoot at our people. ”
"To be honest," said Boss Wu, "we don't want to shoot and scare the people, but special treatment is given in special circumstances, and this situation is not something you and I can stop by shouting." What should we do? Do we just leave it alone and let them rob our belongings with impunity? No, all we can do is to fire a warning shot and make them stop. ”
"I've thought about it too," Qiao Xiaojing shook her head and said, "I've thought about firing a warning shot, really, but I don't think we can do that." If we shoot at the people, then aren't we just like the bandits who rob the people of their things? This is definitely not right, absolutely not, and we can't shoot at the people no matter what. I believe that the common people are just impulsive, they will not really take the things, they should know that now these things are no longer their own. ”
"Hmph......" Boss Wu shook his head, his lips moved, and he didn't make a sound in the end.
"Team Leader Qiao," that old Zhou really didn't want to go on like this, he said very sincerely, "You may not know the situation of the fellow villagers, they do appreciate your merits very much, and they are also very grateful, and some people will even set up an immortal card for you, put you and their ancestors together, and pay tribute to you in the morning and evening, but they will definitely not listen to your advice in the face of what is in front of them." You just don't hold on any longer, either shoot and stop it, or you just turn a blind eye and let them rob ......"
"Boss," Ah Zi squeezed through the crowd, and before Lao Zhou finished speaking, she raised her head and said, "Dazhi and the big man are still in the crowd, it's been so long, and I don't know what happened to them?
"I know this," Qiao Xiaojing frowned, scratched her ears and cheeks, looked anxious and unavoided, and said to herself, "I have to think about it, let me think about it, this matter can't be rash, can't be impulsive, can't be impulsive......"
"What should I do about this?" Ah Zi saw Qiao Xiaojing's expression, and was so anxious that she almost jumped up.
"Boss Wu," Ah Zi turned to Boss Wu and said, "What do you think we should do in the face of the current situation?"
"I ......" Boss Wu vaguely showed a complicated expression on his face, and said lightly, "I really don't know what to do, this is the first time I've seen this situation." ”
"Don't look at me," Lao Zhou saw Ah Zi turn his gaze to him, and waved his hand casually, "I don't know how to deal with this kind of thing, if you want me to say, let's listen to Team Leader Qiao, she is the boss of our team after all." She said that what we do, we will do it, and it can't be wrong. ”
"But ......," Ah Zi said anxiously, "But look, the fellows have already left the ...... with their things."
