Chapter 131: The Truth in the Back Mountain
The crowd, which had been a little noisy just now, suddenly quieted down.
The old man, who was hunched on his waist, raised his head in shock, and his dim eyes collapsed wide. The old man, who had been coughing, was so frightened that the coughing stopped. More old men looked at the soldier's head with blank and apprehensive faces.
A moment of tranquility.
"I'm sorry, fathers and elders, we are just acting on orders, and we are really helpless. There are unjust debtors and owners, and I hope that when you get to the underworld, you will go to Lord Yama to ask for clarification, don't rely on me and wait. The soldier sighed and looked away, unwilling to look at the old people's momentarily frozen expressions.
Everyone is raised by their parents, and everyone has elderly people in their families. They couldn't bear it either. But they are soldiers, and their duty is to carry out orders, no matter how unreasonable they may be.
What's more, they can't resist, and if they do, they will end up like this group of innocent old people.
Where is the government having so much surplus food for this group of old people who have lost their labor force? He thought, adults, it should be helpless.
The other soldiers were silent, silently exhaling turbidity.
They did this kind of thing every day, and at the beginning, they had a troubled conscience and woke up in the middle of the night. Later, I could only continue to numb my numb mind. Every time I started, I comforted myself repeatedly with the silent excuse in my heart.
Anyway, under this disaster, even if these old people don't come here, they still won't be able to live, they won't have anything to eat, and they won't starve to death. They sent them on the road as soon as possible, but the long pain is better than the short pain, and it can be regarded as a good thing.
The group of old men were stunned for a long time before they finally seemed to react to what the soldiers were saying, and suddenly their faces turned gray, their legs weakened, and they fell to the ground.
Some people began to scold the government for losing their conscience and not dying well.
Some people have dull eyes and look like they are resigned to their fate.
Someone wept silently.
Others tried to run back.
Hao Se and the two of them, who were hidden in the nearby bushes, thought that the soldiers would attack the escapees, and were thinking about how to save everyone without exposing them.
However, to the surprise of the two, those soldiers did not care about the people who wanted to run at all, and did not chase them, but just looked at them with compassion in their eyes.
Before Hao Se could understand the plot, something even more shocking happened.
The old men, whether they were fleeing or resigned to their fate, suddenly began to bleed from all their orifices, and before they could even speak, they fell down one after another.
The sound of falling to the ground with a thud resounded through the woods.
In an instant, Lin Zi fell to the ground with corpses all over the ground, all bleeding, with bruised faces and black nails.
Hao Se's gaze swept over the corpses, and his heart was depressed.
She understood why the officers and soldiers didn't chase after those who were trying to escape. Because, these people were poisoned on the road. The black steamed buns that were distributed halfway were poisoned.
And the black steamed bun they ate at noon, before eating, the two of them had tested it, it was an ordinary black flour steamed bun, and it was not poisoned. Because of this, the two ignored the black steamed buns distributed on the road.
Jing Yi pulled Hao Se down and motioned her to continue observing with his eyes.
Hauser nodded.
Originally, I was going to save people. But now, all the people are dead, and they can't be saved if they want to. Naturally, there is no need to go out, and I plan to continue to observe.
When the soldiers saw that all the men had fallen, they resigned themselves to their fate and began to drag them to the middle of the woods, where there was a large pit.
It took a long day for a team of men to drag everyone into the pit and start digging for the landfill.
"Hey, although it can be directly violent in the wilderness. But still, bury it, accumulate some virtue. "A soldier dug up a shovel of dirt.
"yes, it's a little unbearable to think that they might be eaten by wild dogs and vultures." A soldier sighed and dug silently.
"Just accumulate virtue. We have done too much for our lack of virtue, and we are really afraid of retribution in the future. Some people spoke in a deep tone and were full of helplessness.
The moonlight shone dimly into the forest, and the crows perched on the trees made a wow-wr
The wind blew in gusts, and the temperature in the forest seemed to cool down all of a sudden.
The soldiers digging in the soil couldn't help but shiver a little.
"No, my legs are weak." A soldier begins to fight with his teeth, and all kinds of legends of going to hell after death begin to bubble up in his head.
"Phew, we are just acting under orders, and we want retribution, and we are also retribution to those who give orders." Some people are very restrained, and use the raised volume to hide their already panicked hearts.
"Do you know who gave the order?" One of the soldiers stopped his movements and looked at the others.
"I want to know, I'm still going to do something unethical here?" The man next to him took a sip and continued to dig hard.
“……”
A few soldiers muttered and kept talking, as if only by talking could they ignore the fear and guilt in their hearts.
Hao Se and Jing Yi waited until the group of soldiers was done and left, and then walked out from behind the bushes.
Hauser walked to the front of the burial place, knelt down and kowtowed.
The moonlight shone through the forest and hit her cold white face, only to see that the bottom of her eyes was red, but her eyes were as resolute as stone.
Tonight's events were too cruel and bottomless, and once again shocked her strongly.
Abandoning the old, weak, sick and disabled, and burying the so-called useless people alive is beyond the bottom line of being a human being. As a modern person, respect for life has been carved into my bones. She couldn't accept such a thing.
Today, she can't rescue them, and one day, she will find out who is behind the scenes and give them justice.
Jing Yi's slender figure sprinkled the moonlight, but the killing intent in his eyes was awe-inspiring, and the two sword eyebrows flew obliquely, like a cold sword out of its sheath.
In the past, he was treated indifferently, and he was also indifferent to the world, not caring whether others lived or died.
Everything he did was just to protect himself, just to take revenge on the people who had bullied him, just to repay the warmth of his father's maybe just unintentional words.
He doesn't take the initiative to harm people, but he doesn't do it indiscriminately to save people.
However, since he met the dog, he has begun to change some of his minds.
On the way to Shangzhou, the dog told him a lot, her ideals, her ambitions, and the world she longed for.
He felt that the world described by the dog, when he thought about it, was really beautiful.
It turns out that the world can be very warm and desirable.
It's good to have ideals, he laughed.
Since then, he has said to himself that her ideals are his ideals.
Since the dog is as evil as an enemy, since the dog longs for the peace of the country and the people, Kyushu is stable.
Then he will help her achieve what she wants.
Sometimes, he even felt that when the dog said those words, that expression, that tone, was faintly familiar.
It seems that somebody, too, said something like that to him.
It seems that once upon a time, he had also changed.
Jing Yi took a deep breath and pulled Hao Se up: "Let's go, go back and stare at the transfer of the disaster victims early tomorrow morning." ”
Hao Se collected the pain in his eyes, nodded, let him pull it, and walked back.
"Jing Yi, I always feel that the displaced victims are also the same as these old people, and they are more auspicious." Hao Se said abruptly.
What we saw and heard today shows that the people behind the scenes deliberately sent all the victims to Wangjia Village. And those old, weak, sick and disabled, it is estimated that they do not meet a certain need, and all of them are killed in a centralized manner.
Perhaps the motivation is simple: to save food and, at the same time, to make disaster relief work look good.
And those young people, she didn't believe that they were really digging for the project.
So, young man, where did he go?
What kind of experience will you encounter?
"Dog, do you remember the incident of the Xiangquan Courtyard?" Jing Yi shook her somewhat chilled palm.
"Hmm."
"This matter should be the same person behind the incident in the Xiangquan Courtyard, or it has an inextricable relationship." Jing Yi's eyes were slightly dark.
Hao Se nodded, remembering the inhumane scene he saw in the underground cave of the Xiangquan Courtyard, and his heart felt cold.
Will it?
Will this be a replica of what happened here?
Suddenly, I remembered the matter of Die'er Fei and Shuiyue'an that I met on the way, and my heart began to freeze directly.
"Jing Yi, you said, will the matter between Die'er Fei and the nunnery be related to this matter?" Hao Se stuffed his hand into Jing Yi's hand, absorbing the warmth of his big hand, "Xia Feng and Xiu'er, will they be in danger?" ”
Jing Yi directly grabbed her hand and wrapped her hands: "Yes, there must be a relationship." Rest assured, Xiu'er will not be in danger. Xia Feng, that kid, will have a way to protect her. ”
"Jing Yi, you said, why did that mysterious person only leave a message to guide us to pay attention to the back mountain." Hao Se was slightly puzzled.
She was sure that those young people were the point.
But why, the mysterious man who seems to know everything only mentions the back mountain.
"I'm confused, too." Jing Yi said lightly, "Maybe the mysterious person himself doesn't know." Maybe he thinks that as long as he looks at the things in the back mountain, he can notice other things, or maybe there are other reasons. ”
The two no longer dwell on this issue.
An hour later, the two returned to the village and continued to lurk.
The night was uneventful.
Jing Yi reassured Hao Se to sleep on him, and he kept vigil. Hao Se didn't shirk either, and fell asleep leaning on him. Well, men, they always have better physical strength, so she's welcome.
Jing Yi looked at her who was falling asleep quickly, smiled, took off her coat, put it on her, hugged her again, and began to nap herself.
He is not afraid of any danger, as a person who practices martial arts, he will have a strong premonition and prediction of danger. As long as there is any movement, he can react immediately.
When it was dark, a group of people came from the end of the village, ordered a group of refugees in order, and set off with them.
Although the refugees who were selected were all dressed with dishes, everyone was excited and happy. It was as if they would be greeted by a beautiful paradise.
Jing Yi took Hao Se with him, avoiding everyone's sight and quietly following.
