Chapter Forty-Three: Blood Rain in a Small Village!
The sun rises and the moon sets, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
In the valley, the originally quiet mountain village is extremely dull, and many people are standing quietly at the head of the village, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves.
Treading ...... Pedal Pedal ......!
A moment later, smoke and dust rose from the mountain road facing the head of the village, followed by a large banner with Li characters handwritten, and then everyone in the village saw a dozen horsemen galloping towards him, and he looked like a general.
"Drive, drive, drive......!"
"Woo ——!" As the people above the dozen riders grabbed the horse ropes, the dozen riders all stopped.
At this time, Guo's father took the lead, led everyone in the village to salute the leading general, and said, "I don't know if this general comes to my village, what can we serve!"
In response to Guo's father's polite inquiry, the general was arrogant and dismissive, while the arrogant cavalry behind him shouted heavily: "What nonsense, hurry up and hand over all the grain in your village!"
"What!"
"What's the difference between this and robbery! Are you a military master or a robber?"
"That's it, that's it, we're going to call out all the food, how are you going to let us live from now on!" ......
When the villagers heard this, they were naturally extremely angry and asked them to hand over all the grain in the village.
Facing the angry eyes of the villagers, the dozen or so horsemen were sneering, still the cavalry behind the general, and said disdainfully again: "You Diao people, the imperial court is fighting with the rebels, you dare not pay the grain! It is equivalent to rebellion, Your Majesty has issued a decree, whoever dares to rebel will be punished by the nine clans!"
"Kill Kill Kill ——!"
For a while, more than a dozen horsemen held spears and shouted to kill, and a wave of murderous aura also dispersed with everyone. This made the already angry villagers even angrier.
"Fight with them!"
"Yes, why does the imperial court want to expropriate all our grain, and do we want to live!"
"Fight! Fight......"
The emotional villagers kept shouting, but at this moment, Guo's father yelled at everyone: "Everyone, listen to me!"
"It's all quiet!"
Boom——!
Father Guo's majesty was second only to Old Daddy in the entire village, so as Father Guo shouted, everyone stopped.
"General, I can tell you unequivocally that it is impossible for us to hand over all the food!
As soon as Guo's father finished speaking, another cavalryman said impatiently: "Damn, what are you talking about with them, you can grab it directly, the general is still waiting for us to go and restore our lives!"
"Yes, general, if we can't collect all the grain and grass in these few days, I'm afraid we will be scolded to death by the general when we go back!"
"Give you another chance, hand over the things, and avoid death! If you don't hand them over, you won't be killed!" At this time, the leading general had already moved with killing intent.
But even so, most of the people in the village still didn't want to hand over all the food, so just after the leading general finished speaking, the villagers in the village had already surrounded the dozen or so horsemen.
It's just that although there are only a dozen horsemen on the other side, all of them are in hard armor and holding spears, while on the other hand, there are only a few people on the villagers' side who are holding kitchen knives, and some others are holding hoes and steel forks, and carrying bows and arrows.
"Do you want to make ...... Is it the other way around?"
"If you dare to rebel, the court will definitely punish you nine clans! No!
"You pariahs, you still want to resist, give me death!"
Poof——!
One of the soldiers shot a villager in the chest.
Although the villagers in the village are all untrained farmers, most of them are hunters, and they are naturally agile, and they dodged the shot in an instant, but the steel fork in the villager's hand stabbed out, and the brush stabbed the other party's shoulder.
There was a scream, and the soldier fell from his horse in pain.
"Ah, you untouchables, how dare you kill soldiers! Kill me, kill ——!."
"Guys, fight with them!
For a while, the whole village became chaotic, and both sides were killing very fiercely, screams, fights, and cries were mixed together, making this originally quiet small mountain village no longer quiet.
The battle lasted for half an hour, but in the end, the dozen or so horsemen had the upper hand, although there were more than thirty people on the villagers' side, but after all, they were only hunters, and they could not compare to the army that had fought on the battlefield.
Soon, more than a dozen villagers were lying on the ground, but on the other hand, only a few people fell from their horses. Seeing this, Guo's father was very anxious, although those villagers were not dead, but their bodies were scarred, and if they were not treated, they were afraid that their lives would not be saved.
And the fight at the head of the village also worried the women, old people and children who stayed at home and closed the door to hide, and there was a sigh from the old daddy's house in the nearest village.
It's not that the old dad doesn't want to go, but he has no strength to go again. As for the reason, it has to start with a day after Xuanyuan Gu disappeared.
It is said that when Guo's father came back, he saw that Xuanyuan Gu had not returned on the second day, so he took a few people up the mountain to look for him, but there was no trace of Xuanyuan Gu.
Then on the second day, the old father went up the mountain to collect medicine, but accidentally broke his leg, and finally Guo's father led someone to carry the old father back.
This is really a leaky overnight rain, because when the old father was injured and could only lie on the bed, Guo's father received news that a group of cavalry was coming towards the village, and this is why the villagers would gather at the head of the village and wait for the other party to arrive.
"Kill—kill......"
The tragic battle at the head of the village lasted for half an hour, at this time, the villagers' side had already shown defeat, more than 20 villagers lay on the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead, only Guo's father was holding a steel fork, holding on, and the other party was not comfortable, more than a dozen horsemen were injured by seven or eight horsemen, and the leading general looked very angry.
"Kill me! Kill these untouchables, and leave not a single one behind! I will reward you with all the women in the village, and then burn the village to vent my hatred!"
"Puff puff ......!"
But as soon as the general finished speaking, dozens of sword qi flew in, and almost in an instant, the seven or eight horsemen who had not yet dismounted all fell off their horses inexplicably, and died like this, and they were still dead and could not die again.
At this time, all the crazy villagers who were fighting saw this strange scene, but they did not delve into it, but immediately ran to the villagers who were lying on the ground and were in pain, and quickly carried them towards the old father's house at the head of the village, they understood that if they were not treated, their lives would really be lost.
However, even so, five or six villagers died, and the villagers had to carry them to their respective homes under the leadership of Guo's father
