Chapter 44: The Cocktail Party
I saw the tall and thin soldier shouting, "Come and help a few brothers, how can you chirp like a young marshal adjutant?" Let's practice for Adjutant Xue! ”
Before Xue Gou could react to the meaning of these words, he was held up by two soldiers behind him, Xue Gou was not as strong as these veterans, so he could only struggle and reprimand at the moment, but no one listened to him.
Immediately afterwards, the tall and thin soldier picked up the bayonet and stuffed it into the struggling Xue Gou's hand, and then grabbed Xue Gou's hand along with the bayonet with both hands to prevent him from breaking free.
Two more soldiers set up the desperate and overwhelmed teenager in front of them and rushed towards the tip of Xue Go's outstretched bayonet.
Burst......
The bayonet pierced the young man's body, and blood splattered Xue Gou's face.
Xue Yan looked at everything in front of him like ashes, why? They are just ordinary people, they did not participate in the war and did not hurt anyone, why treat them like this?
Not to mention that there are women, children and children, and these soldiers have no conscience?
However, he did not remember that their soldiers had been more murderous than this......
Xue Gou only felt that his mind was "buzzing", his own reprimands, the young man's cries of pain, and the soldiers' laughter were no longer audible, and the world seemed to have turned bloody.
Xue Gou stopped struggling, numb as he watched the Imperial Boy being pierced again and again by the knife in his hand, watching the boy go from shouting to convulsions, and finally to silence......
The soldiers finally found it boring and let go of Xue Gou, and went to have fun with each other.
……
Sitting on the ground, Xue Gou came back to his senses for a long time, looking at the bloody hell in front of him, his heart seemed to have been stabbed by someone, he wanted to cry loudly, but he couldn't, he could only suppress it again and again.
At this time, the "battlefield" was almost cleaned, but a few useful things were found and placed in front of the tall and thin soldiers.
The tall and lanky soldier looked at it a few times, most of them were just pocket watch jewelry, but they were worth a few dollars.
However, the tall and thin soldier did not care, but noticed that there was a small notebook in the "trophies", and a pencil was in it.
When I opened the small book, although it was mostly stained with blood, the handwriting was still clear, and on it was a filthy Chinese language that the tall and thin soldiers knew but could not understand.
Flipping through it at random, there was a date at the top of each page, and the tall and thin soldier had also heard that cultural people liked to keep notes, as if they were called diaries.
He casually put the diary in his pocket, and ordered the rest to be handed over to Xue Gou, after all, Xue Gou was the person with the biggest official position in name.
And Xue Gou looked at the expensive jewelry and watch in front of him, which was obviously not something that a refugee could have.
Xue Gou carefully looked at these corpses with suspicion, and found that their blood-stained clothes were made of more luxurious materials and were made exquisitely, and the conjecture in his heart confirmed that these people were not only refugees, but could even be said to be relatively wealthy.
But the question is, why did they become bandits? Take 10,000 steps back, find a random county town to pawn these watches and jewelry, and it is enough to return to China or live for a period of time.
Xue Gou fell into deep thought, and finally only got a barely reasonable answer.
These people don't know why they wandered here, but here are poor mountains and bad waters, the people are fierce, and the people's hatred of the Dahe people is deep in their bones, and they can't communicate at all.
And here is surrounded by mountains, the road is difficult and dangerous, it is difficult to get out without a guide, and it is besieged here, and it has no choice but to become a bandit......
Courageously walking towards the corpses of his compatriots, Xue Gou found that a man was still holding a brown and yellow object in his hand, which was the same food he had observed them eating earlier.
Xue Gou took it out, gently broke it open, and found that it was a ball of leaves and weeds, kneaded together, the outside was slightly roasted with fire, and the inside was still very tender.
Xue Gou guessed that he might not dare to bake it to prevent it from burning to ashes, it was tender and difficult to eat, so he could only bake the outermost layer at a time, and bake a little bit to eat a little.
If it's really a bandit, you won't eat this at all......
Xue Gou didn't dare to look at it anymore and didn't dare to think about it anymore, he still had a task to do for them, and he didn't dare to expose it, so he could only leave in infinite self-blame and grief......
……
It was already afternoon when I returned to Liuzhou City.
Xue Gou came to Shefu's study and reported to She Bao, but She Bao ignored his tired spirit and arranged a bunch of work.
And after Xue Gou took the order to leave, the tall and thin soldier appeared in She Bao's office.
He is one of She Leopard's or the most loyal henchmen of the original body.
She Bao took the initiative to speak: "How?" ”
The tall and thin soldier said respectfully: "Adjutant Xue was reluctant to do anything, and his face was also disgusted, but in the end he was forced to kill a person, and after the killing, his eyes were bloodshot and red, and he seemed to be in pain, but after he recovered, he suddenly calmed down......"
Saying that, the tall and thin soldier took out the diary and handed it to She Bao: "I cleaned up the trophies and found this, it seems to be a diary, I was afraid that I would find something, I withheld it privately." ”
"Well done!" After that, She Leopard took out a small yellow fish from the desk drawer and pushed it in front of the tall and thin soldier: "Take it, the previous reward remains the same, this is another reward for you." ”
The thin and tall soldier's eyes lit up, and he also knew She Leopard's temper, so he didn't refuse and put it away directly, and finally retreated after showing his loyalty.
She Bao picked up the diary and put it in the drawer.
He could probably guess what the diary contained, but the cause and effect he had arranged it single-handedly, and the tall and thin soldier led the execution, and the diary was meaningless to him.
However, it may be left to Xue Gou someday in the future......
……
Xue Gou, who had been busy all afternoon, thought he could rest, but unexpectedly, She Bao asked him to follow him to the drinking party.
The organizer of the reception was the wealthy businessman Xiao Jia......
Xue Gou also received the news that there will be action tonight, and it is naturally more convenient to act by himself.
But he still felt a little shameless in the face of Xiao Qian.
After all, even if there is no such relationship between men and women, they are still brothers and sisters for nearly ten years.
And Xiao Qian is cruel for a girl to make that kind of sacrifice, she impulsively drilled into the horns of the cow and didn't say anything, and she also hurt her verbally, now that I think about it, I really shouldn't be.
In the end, Xue Gou decided that if he had the opportunity to see Xiao Qian alone tonight, he would put down his man's face and apologize to her, and promised to marry her after the She family fell.
Xue Gou, who had thought of the rhetoric, quickly followed She Bao to the Xiao family.
It was the first time for the two of them to come here in a real sense, and Xue Gou only found out that tonight was Xiao Qian's birthday party!
When he heard it, he only thought that his birthday was an excuse for the holding of the cocktail party, but when he thought of today's date, he realized that it was really Xiao Qian's birthday, and it was also the day he confessed to Xiao Qian......
Thinking of the past few years, Xiao Qian's birthday was usually celebrated by the teacher and their brothers and sisters, and there was never an outsider, and only then did he dare to send blessings to Xiao Qian in front of the master and express his affection openly.
Xue Gou had always thought that Xiao Qian would be his, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and it was still such a meaningful day......
She Bao and the others were led to the Xiao family hall by the waiter, and at this moment, the already golden hall was decorated with many bouquets of light colors, which really added a bit of festivity and girlishness.
