Chapter 9: It's Time to Kill
The green tendons on Pei Chen's forehead were beating, someone wanted their own life, of course they couldn't let it be slaughtered.
Taking a deep breath, he had already made a decision in his heart, and the whole person was quiet.
When he came to the back wall, he picked up the small bench on the ground, opened the window, threw the small bench out of the window, and shouted, "Run." ”
After doing all this, he quickly rolled over and returned to the doorway.
As expected, after throwing out the small bench and shouting to run, the two murderers in the yard immediately moved.
"Fuck, chase after it."
Two figures ran towards the main hall.
At this moment, a crack opened in the door of the main hall.
A flash of cold light.
With a shuttle, an arrow was fired.
The murderer outside the door didn't expect such a scene, and he ran in a hurry, and it was too late to react.
Flutter.
With screams, the figure running at the front fell in a pool of blood.
This arrow is a clever shot, but it is also a part of the calculation.
In this way, the lethal arrow pierced the heart and plunged deep into the dirt of the courtyard.
A murderer fell.
The other thug stood stunned, unable to understand what was happening in front of him.
With a snap, the door to the main hall opened.
In the moonlight, I saw a solemn-looking man holding a strange weapon in both hands aimed at him.
The murderer realized it afterwards and knew that he had been plotted.
Realizing this, the assailant became angry and shouted, "I'll kill you." ”
Waving the knife in his hand, the murderer pounced on Pei Chen.
As a murderer who regards human life as a mustard, his momentum is very ferocious.
In this regard, Pei Chen pulled the cold trigger.
It turns out that the mechanical one is not comparable to the human one.
The murderer's knife was only halfway swung, and the arrow was already in front of the murderer.
A moving person is not the same as a fixed target.
It was aimed at the heart, and the last shot was the right shoulder.
With a bang, the knife in the murderer's hand fell to the ground.
Sweat slid down his forehead, and he couldn't hold back his screams, and the murderer turned around and ran.
After seeing the lethality of the bow and crossbow, the murderer was frightened.
The knife fell to the ground, which made him lose the courage to fight back.
Since he made a move, it was impossible to let the tiger return to the mountain, so Pei Chen reloaded the bow and crossbow.
Hearing the strange noise behind him, the fleeing murderer's face turned pale.
Just in time for another thunderclap.
One of the assailants stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Don't, let me go, I don't want to die......"
The assailant begged for mercy, but before he could finish speaking, an arrow pierced his back......
…… The rain was falling, and in the courtyard, the blood of the two murderers flowed with the rain.
The rain was blowing in the wind, drenching the man standing in the doorway.
Only then did Pei Chen relax the tight strings and muttered to himself: "I'm still nervous, and I didn't leave a living mouth." ”
What it's like to kill someone for the first time.
Pei Chen was unfazed.
If others want to kill themselves, they must resist if they want to live.
That's the way things should be, and there's nothing unacceptable.
After a while, there was a voice in the room.
"Husband......
"Come out and put it all out."
A man came, looking at the two corpses in the courtyard, and his teeth couldn't stop chattering.
Pei Chen said indifferently: "I killed someone, what do you think." ”
What do you think when the person standing in front of you is a murderer.
I guess I'm scared.
As for Qin Mi'er's reaction, Pei Chen was not surprised.
But Pei Chen was still surprised.
She held herself from behind, one hand over the crossbow she had just killed.
"My husband taught me archery, and he said that I killed these two people."
Pei Chen was amused, "What do you think, this is legitimate defense, report to the official, it will be fine." ”
Who could have expected in advance that the two murderers came to the door to commit murder, but they ended up being killed by Pei Chen unharmed.
The village chief's house.
"I think it's almost going to come to fruition, if you want to blame it, you can't blame your bad life, but you can't blame me." Cao Wen said.
"Will there be any accidents?" Li Ergou said.
"What can be any accidents, the two people who came this time are all good men with one enemy and ten, they have seen blood and killed people."
"Then I'll go find out the news now."
Following.
At the entrance of the village, the villagers watched.
On the ground were two corpses.
No one has ever seen a dead person, but the two corpses on the ground are still terrifying.
"This was killed by Pei Chen?"
"Two murderers entered the door to commit murder, and finally were killed? How do you think it's storytelling. ”
"The facts are right in front of you, and who's to say it's not."
"This is a bandit, when did Pei Chen become so powerful."
"You don't believe it, Pei Chen is not injured."
"Is this still the Pei Chen I know?"
"It's hard to say, after all, it's someone who died once."
"In broad daylight, can you not be scary."
After last night's rain, today is a sunny day, and in such weather, Cao Wenxin's face is cloudy.
Self-righteous strategizing, and it turned out to be a joke.
He didn't understand how this was done.
But as the villagers said, the facts are in front of them.
Two heroes came out of Motuo Village to help him, but he was killed, how to deal with this matter.
originally wanted Pei Chen's life, but it made Pei Chen cheaper.
The government has a wanted notice, and you can receive a reward for killing bandits.
As the stronghold of the strongest bandits in the radius, the bounty of Motuo Village is not low.
Damn it.
There's always a feeling of shooting yourself in the foot.
Li Ergou wanted to speak and stopped, "This ...... This person is dead, will Motuozhai come to the door to retaliate? ”
Cao Wenxin's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think that it would be good to come to the door to retaliate." ”
Li Ergou was puzzled, Motuo Village is all murderous without blinking, if you really want to find revenge, the entire Lanshan Village will not be at peace.
Cao Wenxin touched his mustache and said, "Do you know what it means to kill, this matter should be publicized well, so that everyone knows that he is a hero." ”
When the matter reached Pei Chen's ears, Pei Chen thought about where he had offended the village chief and why he had to kill himself.
He became famous and praised like a hero.
Obviously, there are more villagers passing by their doors.
"Husband is not happy?" Qin Mi'er felt his emotions.
"Killing two bandits with or without intention seems to be remarkable, but if there are too many bandits and they are prepared, what will be the end?" Pei Chen expressed the worry in his heart.
Things changed again the next day.
The original heroic deeds became the scolding of the villagers.
The reason is that Pei Chen killed the bandits, and I don't know where the news came from that Motuo Village wanted to avenge the two heroes who died.
For a while, the villagers were afraid that the matter would affect them, and they all thought that it was Pei Chen's fault.
Whether it is praising or scolding, there is a hand behind it, like a net wrapping up.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
Pei Chen is not a person who sits still.
On this day, the reward announcement about himself eliminating harm for the people and killing two bandits came.
The bounty was five taels of silver.
That's a lot of money.
Based on the price of rice, five taels of silver is about ten stones.
One stone of rice is enough to feed yourself for two months.
Qin Mi'er eats a little less.
According to himself and Qin Mi'er, with five taels of silver, there is no need to worry about starvation within a year.
The bounty is not directly distributed, and it needs to be collected at the county office.
The closest to Lanshan Village is Dingyuan County, which takes a day to walk.
Pei Chen decided to go to Dingyuan County, in addition to receiving the bounty, he also had another purpose.
"The road is not easy, please be careful on the road." Qin Mi'er sorted out her baggage.
"If it goes well, you will be back in three days, and if you are scared alone, go back to your mother's house." Pei Chen said.
Just happened to the bandits, leaving her at home is inevitably worrying.
Qin Mi'er shook her head, "If your husband is not there, you will leave your home alone, what is the difference between this and a rootless person, I will take care of my home and wait for my husband to come back." ”
Pei Chen didn't force it, these days, she made a bow and crossbow again, if something really happens, she also has the ability to protect herself.
"This is a coil, and the husband has put it away." Qin Mi'er said.
There is about half a piece of money, which is earned by reselling millet and polishing rice these days.
"You don't leave any left." Pei Chen said.
"There is still food at home, and when the husband is away, he can't do without money."
Having said so, Pei Chen did not shirk it, this time it was indeed necessary to use money to go to the county seat, and it was naturally good to bring more money.
"Do you have anything you want, come back and buy you some."
Compared with Lanshan Village, Dingyuan County is prosperous, one is in the countryside and the other is in the city, and the countryside people are eager for the things in the city.
Qin Mi'er's eyes lit up, and then she shook her head, "Mi'er doesn't lack anything, she just asks her husband to go early and return early." ”
"Okay, then I'll go."
Before leaving, Pei Chen kissed her on the forehead, which made her blush with shame.
That night, nothing was really done.
These days, Pei Chen has been thinking about things, and he is in no mood to do anything.
But after that night, the relationship between them was obviously different.
Naturally, Pei Chen would make some intimate movements towards her.
This is too bold for ancient women, even wives, and it always makes her blush.
…………
Dingyuan County.
The tall gates of the city were full of people.
A street runs east-west.
On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops......
There are small vendors setting up stalls in the open space.
Pedestrians are constant, some are carrying burdens and hurrying to catch up with goods and carts, and there are also some neatly dressed dignitaries.
In proportion, there is no one in ten.
The vast majority of the world's wealth is in the hands of a tiny few.
Wealth does not mean a fixed meaning, it can be money, power, learning......
Here's an example.
The people who can become students are one in a thousand.
The poor can't even eat enough, let alone inquire.
Only rich and noble families are qualified to become students, and to become a student, you have to pay attention to qualifications.
In this era, the world is more ignorant, and more people live by the experience left by their ancestors.
In their opinion, their ancestors did this before, and they can do it themselves in the future.
The imperial court was also happy to see this.
The foolish people are the easiest to control, as long as no one comes forward to take the lead, the people will endure the oppression of the world even if they die.
Dingyuan County is prosperous, but the pursuit of its foundation is only based on blood and sweat.
Take these people who are carrying burdens and hurrying to catch up with goods and pull carts, their hard work in a day is more in exchange for three meals.
This is not an era where you can work and have enough to eat.
There are heavy taxes on the heads of the people...... If there is a war and chaos, floods and snowstorms again...... Illness is like a nightmare, you can only carry it, and if you can't carry it, you will die......
