Chapter 12: The Dawn of the Edge
"The ten taels of silver were hidden in the jar of water." Ye Xu pointed to his vat of hemp boiling soup and said.
"Go, fish it out and give it to me!" The dwarf pushed Ye Xu to the place of the water tank, and used a firewood knife to stand behind Ye Xu at any time to prevent Ye Xu from taking the opportunity to escape.
"Bang!"
Ye Xu came to the side of the water tank to find an opportunity, and directly scooped out a scoop of water and sprinkled it in the eyes of the short man!
"Damn, you fucking grandma's daring!"
The dwarf took a few steps back, calmed down, roared angrily, and swung the firewood knife in his hand towards Ye Xu with teeth and claws.
At this time, Ye Xu had already obtained the fish crossbow and set up the bow and arrow while the dwarf had just calmed down.
"Search!"
The bolt pierced the dwarf's head, and the dwarf shook his whole body a few times, and then fell to the ground and did not move.
Seeing the dwarf die in front of him, Ye Xu's body went limp, spread out on the bed, and his head was buzzing.
Seeing the dwarf lying in a pool of blood, Ye Xu reacted.
Kill yourself!
Kill yourself!
"Brother, are you okay?" Ye Xuan looked at the pale Ye Xu and reached out to wipe the cold sweat from Ye Xu's head.
"Brother Xu, what can I do about this? If we kill someone, will the government arrest me? Ju'er was also scared.
"Don't be afraid." Ye Xu gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it, he said, "You two go out and shout a few times, it's a robber, call the villagers over." ”
"Brother Xu, aren't we going to run?"
Ju'er was stunned for a moment, and she didn't understand Ye Xu's approach.
In the Daxuan Dynasty, the sentence for homicide was very heavy, and basically being caught was a life for a life.
"It's fine." Ye Xu looked confident: "When the time comes, if the government asks, let's say that the two of them will fight unevenly, and in the end, they both return to the west, and the official uniform will not do anything to us without evidence." ”
Ye Xu is not worried about being exchanged for a life, he once saved the son of the county order, if the county commander wants to live for his own son, as long as the reason he gives is acceptable, the county order will definitely not investigate this matter.
"Good!" Ye Xuan and Ju Er looked at each other, then they both ran out of the door and shouted at the top of their voices.
"Help! Help me! The robbers are coming! ”
After a while, many villagers came to Ye Xu's house with torches.
"Ye Xu, what's going on?" The village chief looked at the two corpses on the ground with a slight solemnity on his face.
"Village chief, Zhao Hansan and this dwarf came to rob me of my money, and the two behind them shared the spoils unevenly, and they fought....they all died in the end." Ye Xu said.
"Hmm...."The village chief nodded thoughtfully, waved his hand, beckoned a few young people and said, "You guys, take advantage of the fact that it's dark now, carry these two guys out, find a place to bury them quickly." ”
"Village chief, don't we report to the official?"
Ye Xu looked at the village chief with a stunned expression.
Hearing this, the village chief shook his head, pointed to the dwarf next to him and said: "If you kill this Zhao Hansan because of excessive defense, when you get to the Yamen, we will have a good relationship at that time, and you can still save this life, but this guy is the third leader of the Pirate Gang." ”
"If you let the Pirate Gang know that the three of them have been cut down by us, our whole village will have to bury you at that time!"
Others don't know these three masters, but the village chief can know, a few years ago, he and Ye Xu's parents went out to sea to fish, a group of eighteen people, and was killed by a group of pirates, leaving him alone.
The faces of those pirates, he will never forget in his life.
In other words, if Ye Xu killed these three masters today, he can be regarded as avenging his parents and the lives of those who died tragically in the village back then.
"And!" The village chief said sharply: "Tonight's matter, I hope everyone keeps it a secret!" Don't let anyone outside the village know! Because this is not only related to Ye Xu, but also related to the survival of our small fishing village! Got it? ”
"Don't worry, the village chief, we will definitely not say it!"
"Yes, yes, Ye Xu is the big hero of our village! We will protect him even if we die! ”
Everyone agreed.
The villagers present are not stupid, if they say it, they will kill the pirate gang, and I am afraid that when the time comes, they will not even let go of a chicken in their own house.
Soon, with the help of everyone, the two corpses were quickly disposed of.
After dealing with it, everyone left, Ye Xu and the three of them were in shock, and they fell asleep in a trance until dawn.
Today's incident shocked Ye Xu's heart greatly.
Although in his previous life, he also saw many robbers killing people and robbing money for a few taels of silver in many costume TV series.
But that's a TV series after all, Ye Xu, who has lived in a peaceful society since he was a child, doesn't say that he killed people, and he has never been punched by others until he graduated with a doctorate.
Now that this kind of murder and wealth has happened to him, Ye Xu understands how dead he is.
I can't always run into a bandit with a bad head like a short man.
Only by making yourself strong can you gain a foothold in this world!
The three of them fell asleep in a daze, and at almost noon, a child's sudden shouting woke Ye Xu.
"Brother Ye family, you ran away quickly! Someone from the village is coming to arrest you! A child about ten years old ran in and shook Ye Xu vigorously.
"Who?" Ye Xu asked
"I don't know, there are a lot of people here, all riding horses and carrying knives, the village chief asked me to come over and tell you quickly, let the three of you run quickly!" The child gasped and said.
"No! We can't bother everyone! Ye Xu picked up the fish crossbow, and there was a hint of chill in his expression.
If a pirate comes today, kill one by yourself to return to your capital, and kill two to earn! It's time to do the right thing for heaven!
Anyway, I'm a person who died once.
It's a pity that his sister Ye Xuan still has the girl Ju'er who just talked to him.....
"Brother, I'm going with you!"
"Brother Xu, I'll go with you too! Without you, Ju'er would have died a long time ago! Ju'er also agreed on the side.
"No way!" Ye Xu shook his head very firmly, and said to the child beside him: "You hurry up and take the two of them away, I will meet those people at the entrance of the village!" ”
After saying that, he ran out directly with the fish crossbow.
Seeing Ye Xu's stomach running out, Ye Xuan was so angry that she stomped her feet, tears rolling in her eyes.
"I don't care, if something happens to my brother, Xuan'er won't be alive!"
Ye Xu trotted all the way to the entrance of the village, and saw thirty or forty horseback riders confronting the villagers from a distance.
The one in the front was riding a woman. has this long dark blue hair, has fairy-like facial features, a concave and convex figure, and skin that can be blown and broken, and has an insurmountable noble temperament.
"Could this be the pirate's Lady of the Fortress?" Ye Xu felt a little strange: "Or is this pirate leader a woman?" ”
