Volume 1 Death and Life Chapter 52 A sword is drawn in anger
The wrath of the Son of Heaven, millions of floating corpses, bleeding thousands of miles. The anger of the cloth clothes, the five steps of bleeding, the world is vegetarian.
Wu Aniu's struggling and painful face calmed down, and even his clenched hands slowly relaxed.
He has already passed the age of establishment, and young people of his age in the village have already started a family with a little ability, and children can help make soy sauce. Before he got married, he basically announced that he had no chance of marriage, and there was no shortage of lonely old men in the village.
Wu Aniu never thought that he could have a good marriage, living in a poor family where matchmakers would not come to the door, and finding a virtuous lady like a flower would only hurt others to suffer with him. But this does not prevent Wu Aniu from having someone he likes.
It was a girl who could even smile with her eyes.
She always likes to wear a white-washed cloth shirt, with a homemade delicate wooden hairpin on her head, and never applies grease powder, and is busy in front of the house. Wu Aniu has never seen her rest, she seems to be a machine that doesn't need to stop, taking advantage of the time she is alive to be busy for her family. Laundry, cooking, cleaning and repairing, drying and harvesting grain, tirelessly.
Her life shouldn't be easy.
Who in the world will have an easy life?
In the face of hard life, she always likes to smile. That kind, warm, pure and kind smile awakened Wu Aniu's yearning and desire for all the beauty in the world. A girl can deal with a bleak life so cheerfully, what does he have to feel sorry for himself as a man.
Cao Xiaoling's life is actually not bleak. In recent years, the matchmakers who said they were close to each other had almost leveled the threshold of her family. As she grew up, people were surprised to find that hidden in that cheap decoration was actually a beautiful girl who captivated the city and the country. The white and tender skin that does not tan, the bright eyes and bright teeth that can't be hidden, and the clear and pure smile that often appears at that time. The pearl is dusty and will always be found by everyone. The Cao family gave birth to a good daughter, which may be the experience of a fairy descending to earth.
Cao Xiaoling disdains the proposal of those landlords, and the person she likes is the honest young man who often deliberately passes by her door and secretly looks at her in a daze. That guy was so poor that he couldn't even afford a pair of shoes, and there was no trace of shame on his face, he stood so straight, and his face was so calm. It seemed as if he would never be crushed by the weight of life, and his straight waist stood tall above the sky.
It's just that he seems to be very shy, never greets her, and even looks at each other and smiles and bows his head to avoid it. Cao Xiaoling was a little anxious, because her parents had already begun to urge her for her life's events.
Old man Cao and his wife worked hard all their lives, but they failed to give birth to a son. The seven daughters only supported three, and the first two were married well, leaving only the youngest daughter under her knees to be worried. This little daughter is very picky, and even the only seedling son of the rich man Huang's family can't look down on her, and she has always refused the matchmaker who came to the door. The old couple also wanted to open, they don't have much time left, there is no need to let such a well-behaved little daughter be wronged, she just picks what she likes. It's just that she always pays attention to the news of the most bitter family in the village, intentionally or unintentionally, which makes the old couple a little stunned. She shouldn't like Wu Aniu who can't even make a muffled snort with a stick, right?
After Wu Aniu finished selling the fish, he got some loose copper coins, and was about to go home after a day's hard work. Li Xiaoer of the Groove Gang suddenly found him and said that Zhu Sanye, the eldest brother of the Groove Gang, was actually going to Caojia Village on a business trip and asked Wu Aniu, who lived in Caojia Village, to lead the way. Wu Aniu thought that he was just going by the way, and he couldn't delay any effort, so he naturally didn't allow it.
Zhu Sanye is just a housekeeper, the housekeeper and most cronie of Zhu Tao, the second head of the trough gang. The purpose of his trip was to send a dowry to Caojia Village, because Zhu Tao's son, Zhu Wuyong, fell in love with a girl in the village, who is said to be famous in this neighborhood because of her appearance and outstanding character.
What Wu Aniu didn't expect was that he led the way by the way, which actually brought great disasters to Old Man Cao's family.
What kind of character is Zhu Wuyong, he is well-known far and near. bullying men and women, doing all kinds of evil, he is also prodigal, lingering in the land of fireworks, contaminated with a poisonous disease, and relying on drugs to hang his life all year round. Let's ask how Old Man Cao is willing to marry his baby daughter.
"I'm not here to consult with you, I'm just here to inform you." Zhu Sanye said coldly, "My lord has chosen an auspicious day for his son, and he will come to pick him up at that time." ”
"Nonsense, our family doesn't agree, can you still rob people?" Old man Cao trembled with anger and scolded angrily. In fact, he knew in his heart that the Groove Gang could really do this kind of thing, and they did a lot.
"If you don't agree, then call until you agree." Zhu Sanye's tone was even more gloomy, he had even thought of beating the old man and old lady to death, tying Cao Xiaoling, and stuffing it directly into the son's bed, why bother.
Zhu Sanye is not such a patient person, what he said represents what Zhu Tao said. Who is Zhu Tao? That's more than 10,000 people under one person in the trough gang. What does the Groove Gang do? The goods transported by the great rivers from the south to the north, even if they are supplied to the emperor Lao'er, must be given a piece of the pie first. Its oil and water are so large and its power can be imagined.
Without saying a word, Zhu Sanye's subordinates really rushed up to beat people. Old man Cao and his wife are old and frail, where is this kind of brave opponent, they were knocked to the ground in three or two strokes, and their heads were broken and bleeding.
Cao Xiaoling weakly pushed and covered the second elder, took the time to look at Wu Aniu who was standing next to him, and saw sparks in his eyes, a fierce and struggling look on his face, and green tendons on his fists. Knowing that he was about to be impatient and desperate with others, if he made a move, others would not spare a little hand like dealing with old and young women and children, I am afraid that he would lose his life.
"Catch her." Zhu Sanye pointed at Cao Xiaoling.
Zhu Sanye still wanted to give orders, but he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth. There was a harpoon stuck in his throat, and the cold sensation spread from his throat to his whole body.
Zhu Sanye turned his head in shock, and actually saw that it was the honest young man holding the harpoon. The young man's eyes burned with anger, but his face was so flat, and his hands were so steady, as if he were hunting fish, not human life.
"Murder!" Li Xiaoer shouted in horror, and was the first to run away.
If Wu Aniu was a little flustered, the people of the Groove Gang would definitely rush up and hold him. But his face was so indifferent, the intertwined muscles on his arms were terrifying, and at this time he seemed to be incarnated as a murderous Jiangyang thief, and his momentum was extremely vicious.
The members of the Groove Gang collapsed and fled in an instant, and some of them left cruel words: "You wait, the Groove Gang will not let you go!" ”
Zhu Sanye watched his panicked subordinates disappear, closed his eyes in despair, and never moved again.
Wu Aniu coldly glanced at the crowd of onlookers, people were forced by his momentum, and hurriedly retreated far away, not expecting that such an honest person would kill people without even blinking his eyes. It is said that it was the dangerous people in the trough gang who were killed, and they didn't run for their lives quickly, so they didn't panic here.
Cao Xiaoling was so shocked that her mouth opened, and her eyes were full of tears. She had seen Wu Aniu being scolded and scolded by others, and he was provocative, but he didn't say a word, turned around and walked away. At this time, for her, she was able to do murderous deeds.
It's all in plain sight.
"Hurry up and go home and clean up and get out of the limelight." Cao Xiaoling came back to her senses, stuffed all the fine soft silver coins on her body into Wu Aniu's arms, and urged him anxiously.
Wu Aniu grinned, he felt Cao Xiaoling's care for him, then this life was enough.
The sky exploded with an arrow.
Then came the sound of horses galloping.
Someone went to look at it and said, "Oh no! The Groove Gang has surrounded our village! ”
The crowd was in a hurry, and the villagers panicked and talked about it.
"The Groove Gang won't anger us, will they? It is said that they kill people and set fires, and they do everything they can. ”
"There have been a few villages where people offended the trough gang and were wiped out by them."
"Then what Wu Aniu did alone, how can it be counted on the head of our Caojia Village."
"The Groove Gang won't care about you, they are important people in the gang who died, so many people are dispatched at the moment, is it to see the excitement?"
"How's that for good? I need to get home and pack up and hide. ”
"People are surrounding the village, where can you hide? You should go home and cut down your mother-in-law, at least you can keep a clean slate. ”
"Why didn't you cut your mother-in-law?"
"Nonsense, can my mother-in-law see it? Besides, I can't cut her. ”
People are talking about it, and the culprits are the old man Cao's family and Wu Aniu, and they should be captured and sent to the trough gang to ask for guilt, so as to get a trace of life.
The young people of the village were united, and instead of fighting the trough gang, they surrounded Wu Ah Niu in the middle, and the axes and sickles flashed with a terrifying light.
Even more terrifying is naturally the human heart.
"Is it useful for us to have infighting here? You have the strength to come together and think about how to fight the troughs. Cao Xiaoling showed her wisdom and courage at this time, and shouted loudly.
"It's useless. Let me borrow your heads, and appease their anger. The axe bearer in the crowd felt a little confident and said bravely.
Wu Aniu's palms began to sweat, and he didn't expect that he didn't die in the hands of the trough gang, but would be planted in the hands of his fellow villagers.
"Let's go." A faint voice came from the crowd. Immediately, the crowd was separated, and a thin and tall figure walked over slowly, wasn't that the disabled teenager of the Wu family? How did he heal his hands and feet?
Wu Xiaomei followed behind Xiao Xiao, facing the villagers who were eyeing her, she felt frightened, and clenched the corners of Xiao Xiao's clothes tightly.
"What now?"
"Are two more afraid of them? Take! ”
The villagers rushed up.
"Your wooden hairpin is good, can you lend it to me." Xiao Xiao said to Cao Xiaoling with a smile.
Before Cao Xiaoling could speak, the man actually reached out and took off his hairpin. I didn't feel a little angry at his rudeness, this was all hit in front of me, what kind of girl's hairpin are you playing?
In the blink of an eye, there was a whoop in the crowd.
Cao Xiaoling and the three of them only saw Xiao Xiao's clothes flying, leaving a few afterimages in the crowd, and then returned to the same place and stood faintly, as if he had never moved.
The villagers' injuries were not serious, but there was an extra blood hole in the tiger's mouth on the hand holding the weapon, which was a small punishment left by Xiao Xiao.
The sickle and axe fell to the ground, and the villagers covered their wounds and looked at each other, no matter how ignorant they were, they also knew that Xiao Xiao was not an ordinary person, and with this kind of means, they should be able to touch the groove gang.
"Give it back to you." Xiao Xiao handed the wooden hairpin back to Cao Xiaoling.
Cao Xiaoling decisively withdrew her hand, meaning that the wooden hairpin was stained with blood and dirty, how could she use it. She suddenly blushed, peeked at Wu Aniu, and said wryly, "Give it to him." ”
Wu Aniu took the wooden hairpin in a daze, scratched his head, suddenly understood something, and grinned happily.
"I also have hairpins, why use her?" Wu Xiaomei didn't agree, and said with a small mouth.
"Do you have that too?" Xiao Xiao asked awkwardly.
"Isn't it? Here you go. Wu Xiaomei took out a copper hairpin from her arms and handed it to Xiao Xiao.
"Thank you." Xiao Xiao took it and said.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like raindrops, and the members of the brigade came from far and near. In just a moment's effort, the trough gang actually gathered nearly a thousand people and horses, and under the leadership of the third gear head, they rushed in.
"Kill them all!" He rode on a horse and carried a broadsword, like a general on the battlefield, and shouted at his men.
What a feeling of yearning for conquest, he yearns for the iron blood of the battlefield, but he is afraid of his own bloodshed, so he can only find his satisfaction by killing the villagers who have no ability to resist. But it's impossible for the Groove Gang to kill people and destroy the village when nothing happens, so he doesn't have many opportunities, and he feels that he has to cherish this opportunity and have a good time.
The villagers of Caojia Village wailed and fled, and in the face of the trough gang with big knives and decisive killing, they could not even raise the courage to resist. At this time, they realized that someone was actually swimming against the current and blocking in front of them.
The disabled boy who can hurt people with a wooden hairpin, one person and one hairpin, is resisting thousands of troops.
The villagers are kind by nature, although they are a little narrow-minded and selfish, but they are also full of compassion, and some of them even close their eyes, not wanting to see the boy being trampled into pulp by thousands of horses.
