Chapter 284: Promoted to Chieftain (2)
That night, Xiao Mo took advantage of the chaos to escape from the crowd, first hid in the mountains and forests for a night, and when the sky was just dawning, he found that Kui Liqi had mobilized his people to start searching the mountains, knowing that Baima Qiang Village could not stay. In desperation, she turned round the ridge to the road, and ran along the road, suffering from the lack of horses, and she was tired and anxious, thirsty and hungry. When she was embarrassed, she was facing two fast horses running over, and it was Shu Yan and Zhixin who came all the way to find her.
When the three of them met, it was really sad and joyful. Shu Yan and Zhixin took Xiao Mo to a safe place, and while comforting her, they took out water for her to drink.
Xiao Mo tried his best to fulfill Shu Yan and Zhixin, thinking that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and the two should accept their arrangements with peace of mind, but they didn't expect them to come all the way to find themselves!
But at this time, she didn't care about this, and told the two about what happened to them. Although he is safe, his parents and the innocent man and woman Duba and Kangma are still under the clutches of Quirich, and their lives cannot be saved, so they must find a way to save them. At this time, Xiao Mo was like having a backbone, but even with Shu Yan, only three people couldn't fight Kui Rich after all. Xiao Mo suddenly remembered the relationship between Shu Yan and He Hao, and wanted Shu Yan to beg He Hao and ask the county soldiers to exterminate Kui Liqi. Shu Yan thinks it's inappropriate, because if today's chaos is like, Di Qiang's mood is in a sensitive period, if the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are involved in the internal affairs of Qiang Village at this time, although the starting point is to eliminate harm for the clansmen, it is very easy to be labeled by people with ulterior motives to suppress the Qiang people. It is better for the Qiang people to solve the affairs of the Qiang people internally. Xiao Mo was right to think about it, and the three of them continued to discuss countermeasures to save people. The reason why the people obeyed Queritch's orders so much was because they were still in the dark. In order to defeat Quirich, the people must be awakened. At this time, the clansmen were so convinced that Quirich could not wake up the clansmen just by saying that they had to have evidence. Xiao Mo recalled the scene of the second exploration of the cave, and his eyes lit up, and the three of them planned this method of using the hands of the clan to obtain the most critical evidence.
Now that this most crucial piece of evidence has been obtained, it is time to obtain another key piece of evidence, which is the scar on Quirich's arm.
Right now, the awakened clansmen followed Xiao Mo and the three of them back to the watchtower. Xiao Mo saw his parents tied up on the tree, exhausted, tears suddenly burst out of his eyes, gritted his teeth and cried: "Father, Mother, Duba, Kangma, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!" ”
Xiao Mo's parents were tied up for a day and a night, and they were already weak, when they suddenly heard a shout, raised their eyes and saw that it was their daughter, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Daughter, why are you so stupid, you have escaped from the clutches of the devil, why did you come back to die by yourself!" ”
"I'm not sending you to death, I'm here to save you, you will suffer for a while!"
Kui Ridge had already found Xiao Mo in the watchtower and immediately rushed downstairs. At this time, his subordinates had already surrounded Xiao Mo. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, his method really succeeded in attracting Xiao Mo. But before he could rejoice, he found that Xiao Mo did not come alone, but came with all the clansmen, and the expressions of the clansmen seemed to be very different from the past. He didn't know why, but he didn't have any scruples, and still shouted arrogantly: "I was worried that I had nowhere to find you, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door yourself, so don't blame me for being unkind." Come on, tie up this scum who blasphemes the sheep god and endangers the clansmen and hangs him on a tree! ”
When his men heard the order, four or five people immediately rushed over and were about to do it. However, at this time, although the clansmen present could not trust Xiao Mo very much, at least they were not so devout to Quiri, so they spontaneously stepped forward to surround Xiao Mo.
These ordinary people didn't say a word, but the situation in front of them already made Quirich feel that something was wrong. He rolled his eyes and smiled to himself: "My people, I heard that you went to hunt for treasure today, have you caught any good treasures?" ”
"Humph!" Xiao Mo gritted his teeth, "Of course I got a good baby, and I came to dedicate it to you!" ”
The crowd flickered, and several young men carried the girl's body in front of Quirich.
When Quirich saw it, he was shocked, "This ......"
"How's that, frightened or not? Not surprised? ”
Quirich was cunning and cunning, but he panicked for a moment, and immediately calmed down. He didn't take the initiative to speak, just waiting to listen to what others asked and how to deal with it himself.
Before Xiao Mo could speak, the girl's parents asked Kui Rich angrily: "Evil witch, why did you kill my daughter, why did you sink her in the water?" They were so grief-stricken that they were going to pull Quiric desperately as they spoke.
"Bold! Dare to slander Ben Wuzhu. Your daughter was chosen to sacrifice to the sheep god, but you two were willing to send her to the cave of the gods at the beginning, and now you want to regret it? Originally, the sheep god thanked you for your piety, and wanted to have a special favor for your family and bless your descendants forever. But if you do this, not only will the sheep god not bless you, but you will be punished, you know? ”
The two of them were already afraid of Quirich, but they were even more in awe of the sheep god, and they were frightened by this remark.
Quirich's rhetoric can deceive others, but she can't deceive Xiao Mo, she glared: "Until now, you are still so quibbling, and you still want to continue to deceive the clansmen!" Let me ask you, do you say that the girl was chosen to be sacrificed to the sheep god, was she sacrificed alive or died? ”
"Uh-" Quirich didn't know what Xiao Mo meant, so he said casually, "Yes...... Living sacrifice. ”
"If it's a living sacrifice, why is there a heavy strangulation mark on her neck? Also, the place of sacrifice is in what you call the Divine Cave, but why was she sunk to the bottom? ”
Quirich was forced to ask by Xiao Mo, and his face became sallow, but he was still tired of coping, "It's the request of the sheep god......"
"Haha, it's a ridiculous joke. I have only heard that when the river god is sacrificed, the sacrifice is thrown into the water, and the sheep live in the mountains, so how can the sheep god ask for the sacrifice to be thrown into the water? ”
Under this question, Quirich couldn't answer it right at all, so he could only throw the pot out: "I don't know, it's all done by the sheep god, and everything has nothing to do with me." ”
"Humph! You are full of evil, and you can't justify yourself, so you blame everything on the sheep god! Xiao Mo glared at Kui Rich angrily, and then bowed to the heavens, "If there really is a sheep god, please open the eyes of the sheep god - the existing evil witch of my own clan, Kui Rich, has used your name to do evil and evil things, ruining your reputation, shouldn't you get rid of him!" ”
Quirich was forced by Xiao Mo to be angry, and he had no choice but to suppress it by force, so he pulled out his waist knife and yelled at his subordinates: "This evil woman is unreasonable, don't take her down quickly!" As he spoke, he took the lead and raised his knife to pounce on Xiao Mo. 33
Regarding the verbal confrontation between Xiao Mo and Quirich, Shu Yan just watched from the sidelines and did not intervene because he was a foreigner. But at this moment, Quirich wanted to have murderous intent, of course he couldn't sit idly by, and instantly drew his sword, flicked the opponent's waist knife, and then pushed forward with his backhand, and the tip of the sword was against Quirich's throat. Under his leadership, the clansmen who stood on Xiao Mo's side also took action and controlled several of Quirich's men.
Xiao Mo bowed in a circle to the surrounding crowd, and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Kui Richie raped and murdered the girl in the name of sacrificing to the sheep god. This is what I saw with my own eyes with Duba and Kangma, and Duba injured his left arm in the struggle. Now the time has come to witness right and wrong, and if Quirich's left arm is not wounded, it proves that I am lying, and I am willing to listen to all my people without complaint; If, on the other hand, his left arm is really injured, then it proves that Quirich is lying, and he must pay for it with blood, what do you think? ”
The people raised their arms and shouted in agreement.
Quirich knew that the general trend was gone, and he was powerless, he looked at Shu Yan, and after laughing wildly, he gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Mo: "That's right, I controlled the clan in the name of the sheep god, and the girl was killed by me, and the sheep god was also pretended by me." If it weren't for today's accident, the next step would be to be the chief to control the whole clan, but I didn't expect to be defeated in the hands of you, a girl. Now you have replaced me as the only one in your clan who can answer every call. I can see that your people are very supportive of you. I have been a sorcerer all my life, and I have spoken empty words all my life in the name of the sheep god, but I make a responsible prophecy to you today: Don't look at your appearance as smart and capable, but the root of your heart is not in yourself, but in others, you can't stay in Qiangzhai in the end, you Chinese seed! Wild woman! ”
"You don't have to worry about my business!" Xiao Mo's face turned red with anger, and he walked up to Quirich angrily, ripped off his neckline, and a scar on his left arm that had not yet scabbed appeared in front of the clansmen.
The truth is revealed. Everyone present was resentful. These simple and ignorant people, they can suffer for Quirich, they can die, but they can't accept being deceived, let alone the blasphemy of the holy sheep god. There is no concept of trial, conviction, or beheading, and it is simply resolved on the spot.
The father of the murdered girl was the first to rush forward and knock Quirich to the ground, and the people swarmed up, and in a matter of moments, Quirich was killed on the spot.
Xiao Mo, of course, did not participate in the killing of Quirich, she ran to the big locust tree to save her parents, only to find that Zhixin had untied her parents and was feeding them water. Several of the young men climbed the tree and rescued Duba and Kangma from the high branches.
Fearless of hardships and dangers, he rescued the innocent girl and eliminated a major scourge for the clan, and Xiao Mo's move was supported by all the clansmen. At this time, an elder of the clan proposed: "After the death of the old chief, there is no one to take the position of chief in our clan, and the old man wants to nominate the little aunt to take over the position of chieftain, can the clan agree?" ”
The crowd cheered and agreed.
This sudden move confused Xiao Mo: "No, no." Don't do this, I just want to eliminate harm for my people, and I haven't thought about being a chief! ”
"The little aunt has no selfish thoughts, and she is capable and responsible, so she is perfect for being a chief."
"But I'm just a woman, and my father is Chinese, so there's never been a precedent for a woman to be a chief in my clan."
"Although my little aunt is a woman and my father is Chinese, you have grown up in Qiang Village since you were a child, and you are regarded as the same as my people. As long as you can be good to the people, there is no distinction between Qiang people, Chinese, men and women. Quirich is the real White Horseman, but so what? Moreover, the position of chief in our clan has always been hereditary. The little aunt is the only descendant of the old chief, and you should inherit the chieftaincy. ”
"But ......"
"Little aunt, don't shirk anymore, are you really as Kui Ritchie said-rooted in others, and you won't stay in Qiang Village in the end?"
Xiao Mo suddenly remembered what Kui Ritch said, and sighed, is the root of his heart really in someone else? She subconsciously turned her head to look around, and the person was staring at her, indifferent but resolute, and she was standing side by side with him just right. Although the two of them kept their distance, the natural harmony was exposed.
"Well, I promise you."
Some people died, but not completely......
