Chapter 156: Help
Seeing that Xiyuan and Xiangyi had stopped, but Pingqi didn't know what Xiyuan was thinking, and the corner of the robe in his hand didn't let go for a moment, but said slowly: "Because of our remote location, we don't interact with the outside world, and we have always been quiet and peaceful, but more than fifty years ago, I don't know where a weasel with cultivation came out. At first, he just stole food from the villagers, but then it became more and more excessive, and from time to time someone went up the mountain and never came down. There are even children who often disappear inexplicably, but what can we do, we can't fight him, so we can only endure it silently. ”
"But at this time, a family surnamed Tu moved to our Pingjiaao. Although most of us in Pingjiaao have the surname Ping and are relatives of each other, we are not xenophobic. But at that time, we really didn't want the family to be involved in it. But none of us expected that the family would go up the mountain on the first day they came. The mountain behind Pingjiaao has been a forbidden place since the weasel came, and when we heard that the slaughterer had gone up the mountain, we were worried. But the results were all unexpected. The father and son of the Tu family came down from the mountain safely. ”
"When the old village chief was still alive, he was very curious, didn't they meet the weasel? What they didn't expect was that after the Tu family father and son went down the mountain, they went to the village chief's house and told the village chief that when they were hunting, they saw a big weasel in the back mountain, and at first they wanted to attack them, but then he shot an arrow and fled. On weekdays, don't go up the mountain casually, even if you want to go up the mountain, you have to go together, he said that the weasel seems to be about to cultivate to become a refinement! The old village chief was very excited when he heard that, and in front of the slaughtering brother, he didn't say anything, but after the slaughtering brother left, he gathered a few of us together and discussed telling the slaughtering brother about the weasel who had become a fine being, since he could hurt the weasel once, he could hurt him a second time, and maybe he could get rid of the chaotic weasel in one fell swoop. ”
"The matter was settled, and the old village chief and we went to the butcher's house with some gifts. Brother Tu's daughter-in-law was shocked when she saw us and insisted on not accepting our gifts, but we insisted on keeping the things. We said that we were begging the butcher brother, and these things were deserved by the butcher brother, but the butcher brother's daughter-in-law still refused with a smile. We told the Tu family brother what happened, and the Tu family brother looked ugly after hearing it. Just when we thought he was going to refuse, he suddenly said, "This matter can't be delayed any longer, and that beast can't be allowed to come out and make trouble anymore." "That's all said and done, we naturally know that the Tu family brother agreed. Later, a few good people and the butcher brother set a trap on the mountain, and things seemed to be very smooth, the weasel fell into the trap, and was stopped by the butcher brother and slashed at the waist, but after all, it was a weasel who had cultivated to perfection! Although there were many of us, we still let the weasel escape. ”
"But the weasel was so seriously injured, we all thought that he would definitely die, although the old brother of the Tu family was still not at ease, saying that he would search the mountain, and he would not see the corpse of the beast, he was not at ease, but the old village chief did not think so, and persuaded the old brother of the Tu family to go down the mountain, and originally prepared a celebration banquet. But after a busy day, everyone was tired and panicked, so they postponed this matter, what they didn't expect was that the weasel was still alive, and the thing that had been cultivated into essence was really not easy to deal with. He was very angry, and went down the mountain to warn the old village chief that if he did not kill the people of the Tujia family within two days, he would kill all the people of Pingjiaao. ”
"So in order to survive, you killed the innocent butcher's people?" Xiangyi glanced at Ping Qi, frowned and said, she hates the person who takes revenge the most, no wonder those two children would say something like that night, if those two children were indeed the children of the slaughter family, it was indeed expected that they would say something like that, but more than fifty years have passed, why are they still children? What happened in this?
Xiangyi's words made Ping Qi feel guilty, for more than 50 years, he had been living in guilt, it was they who begged the Tu family to go up the mountain to hunt the weasel, but after the matter failed, they turned around and killed the people of the Tu family, and they didn't want to! But at that time, what could be done, if they didn't kill the four members of the Tu family, the entire Ping family would die! But it was all retribution, and most of the people who participated in that incident died early except for him. And he suffers from the torment of conscience, and there is not a day to suffer, but who is to blame for this?
After a pause, Ping Qicai continued: "The old village chief didn't expect things to turn out like this, he didn't want to kill the people of the Tu family, but he didn't want the people of the Ping family to die. And we are also greedy for life and afraid of death, so a terrible thought arises. In the end, we decided to sacrifice the slaughterer to save ourselves. The feast was held the next day, and our plan was to get the Tu family and his wife drunk, and then throw them into the river, pretending that they were drunk, and then fell into the river and drowned. Things went very smoothly, and we were all relieved that the Tu family and his wife were dealt with by us, but the Tu family still had two children. This time we really can't do it, one is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the other is only ** years old, they have done nothing wrong, but they have to bear this, which should not have been borne by them. But thinking of the words of the weasel, we covered the two children with a quilt while they were asleep. At this point, Ping Qi couldn't cry anymore.
"Haven't you thought that even if you kill the slaughterer, that weasel will not let you go? He is just afraid of the slaughterer's people, so he will threaten you to kill the slaughterer!" Xiangyi looked at Pingqi who was kneeling on the ground and asked, Pingqi did not answer, Xiangyi continued: "How innocent they are, but you killed their family, you really deserve it!"
Ping Qi, who had been silent, suddenly said excitedly: "We deserve it, it's all our fault, but the people in Pingjiaao are innocent, please save them!
Although he felt that the person in front of him was not ordinary stupid, he still asked: "So after you killed the slaughterer, the weasel came to clean you up immediately, but how did you escape that catastrophe, could it be that the immortal of Tianmen Mountain in your mouth saved you?"
