Chapter 19: The Rainstorm Arrives

"Ready-to-go!" The flag in the commander's hand fell, and six brand-new heavy cannons about thirty paces away from the left of his body opened fire one after another, and the chaotic fireballs reflected the white sky like a sunset, sending fear and death to the enemy in the distance.

The fireball fell on the flat ground to the east, and then exploded one after another with a loud earth-shattering sound, encircling an array of infantry troops that were advancing forward.

Although only one shot of the fireball falling from the sky hit the target, it was enough for a cavalry unit on the battlefield that was hiding in the grove and waiting for its moment.

Looking at the chaotic infantry array in the distance and the warlords in the rear, the commander of the cavalry unit gently lowered his cherished telescope. After carefully wiping the coarse cloth handkerchief in his pocket, he turned his head to look at the cavalry behind him, who was already ready to attack.

These cavalry were wearing the same blue Kawa military uniforms as the infantry arrays in the distance, but unlike the infantry troops, the cavalry had a gray-white strip of cloth wrapped around their left arm.

The commander drew his saber and pointed at the Kawa Nation officers and soldiers outside the forest. He shouted to his subordinates: "After leaving the forest, form a queue and charge!" Today, we will lay a solid nail in the western part of Gyeonggi! ”

……

Seven days have passed since the villagers of the small fishing village found the wounded soldiers unconscious.

The wounded soldier was reluctant to reveal his name to the public. After thanking Shi Cheng and others for their kindness in rescuing him, the young wounded soldier left after only three nights of recuperation in the small fishing village.

Shi Cheng and Jika persuaded the wounded soldier countless times, but the wounded soldier did not waver and insisted on leaving. In desperation, everyone finally had to agree.

Before leaving the village, the wounded soldier left a silver-encrusted cigarette case with the village chief, Jika, who exchanged the seemingly expensive box for a thin little donkey, some water and food, and then fled away from the small fishing village towards the northeast of the village.

The beautifully decorated cigarette box on the wounded soldier's body surprised Shi Cheng and Jika, and Shi Cheng secretly had a guess in his heart: if this cigarette case was not taken by the wounded soldier from someone else, then the background and background of this wounded soldier may not be as simple as he thought before.

If it is said that people from such wealthy families have not escaped the arrest of strong men, then it is conceivable how much the situation facing the official army of Kawa has deteriorated.

Either way, now is no longer the time to guess the identity of the wounded.

In the days after the wounded soldier left, Jika's house was like an unquenchable fire, and everyone was in a panic, and the servants employed by his family were keenly aware of the mood of the lord's house, and inevitably brought this panic to the outside of the village chief's house.

Rumors are growing in the village. Of course, all this is not only due to the leaked news from the village chief's family, but another more important reason is that there are more and more uninvited guests in the village and strange things happening inside and outside the village.

All the villagers who came back from outside said that they saw soldiers running in the wilderness, some of them were wearing brand new uniforms, some of them were covered in blood, and of course, many more people did not have military uniforms at all, and if they had not seen the wooden guns and sabers in their hands, the villagers would definitely think of them as travelers in the wilderness.

In addition, the forest rangers, who often come to the outside of the village on weekdays to take a look, and sometimes ask the villagers for things, are nowhere to be found. Outside the village, there are now more probes, who sometimes quietly stuff a piece of bark with something written on it in the hands of the villagers who pass by, sometimes stop some villagers who look very poor, enthusiastically advertise something to them, and stuff them with a small coarse bread when they leave.

However, most of the villagers could not read, and they did not know what was written on the papyrus, and the villagers who had spoken to the mysterious outsiders were silent when they returned, but most of them had a strange light in their eyes.

……

On the second day after the cavalry troops ended the battle, Wu Neng, who had risen in the morning to practice, found a line of powerful slogans painted with white paint on a huge abandoned wooden shack at the entrance of the village: "The vicious king is about to fall, your liberation has come, there are thousands of beautiful fields, why are there no poor people?" We are in charge of our destiny, defeat the femme fatales inside and outside! ”

The appearance of the slogan shook the entire small fishing village.

Soon, the village chief's family, who heard the news, hurried to the entrance of the village.

Jika's family did not leave the small fishing village in such a hurry as the wounded soldiers. After hearing the thunderbolt news of the defeat of the officers and soldiers from the mouths of the wounded soldiers, Jika's heart actually struggled, he had a reason to flee the village, after all, his sister was one of the wives and concubines of the king of Kawa.

But Jika is a family lover after all, after thinking about it, he really can't give up his property in the village, and he still has some illusions in his heart, after all, after the cataclysm caused by the corpse demons, the rule of the bachelor has been firmly existing in Kawa for more than twenty years, how can it be said that it was overthrown and overthrown? In the past, there was not a lot of chaos in the country, but in the end, didn't they all calm down under the iron-fisted suppression of the bachelor?

Under the influence of various factors, Jika eventually stayed in the village.

But today, his already fragile nerves have been hit by another major irritation.

Jika, who had already heard the specific news from the domestic servant who reported the news, had a gloomy face, and he walked quickly in front of the domestic servants, pushing away the villagers in front of him and standing in front of the wooden board painted with slogans.

The tobacco-like skin on the fat village chief's face kept shaking, and his two beards were dangling with it, giving people the feeling of two clowns who kept shaking their bodies because of mistakes on the rope.

He became hysterical again, and while hammering the ground with the crutch in his hand, he shouted: "Who! Who did this! Get the hell out of here! Get the hell out of here! ”

No one of the villagers spoke, but in Jika's eyes, all the villagers had a hint of disdain and mockery in their eyes.

"Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll call the people from the government and send all of you thieves to the guillotines one by one!" ”

He grew angrier, and the lava roared and rushed through the mountain, about to burst out.

As Gika's gaze swept over Akars, the "volcano" finally erupted.

Maybe it's because Aqas owes the village chief the most money on weekdays, or maybe it's because Akars is one of the poorest people in the village, all in all, at this moment, Akars is the person the village chief looks down on the most.

"Akas, get out of here! What are you still looking at here? Don't hurry up and drag that puppy out of here! I see, O Holy Venerable, it must be you, these crazy words must have been painted here by you! Right? Gika shouted on tiptoe.

The family members who had come with Jika reacted, and everyone dragged Akars out of the crowd and pressed him in front of the village chief.

"You...... What are you doing, what nonsense, what am I doing? Akars struggled desperately, and the patched old clothes on his body were ripped out of a new mark.

"If you hadn't done it, which mongrel would have made it?" Jika slapped Akas hard without saying anything, "Little puppy, I can see for a long time, during the worship last month, your family looked at me differently!" ”

In the eyes of others, Akas's expression and eyes are actually normal, but in Jika's eyes, every slight change in the muscles and muscles on Akas's face has a strong mockery and malice.

"Son of a bitch, bastard, I kindly rented my field to you, and you will repay me like that? The white-eyed wolf who grew up eating ......" The murmur in Jika's mouth grew louder and louder, and the servant, who no longer knew how to read words, now knew what to do, and several people punched and kicked him, and in a few breaths beat the short and thin Aqas to the ground and beg for mercy.

"Master, how about we just tie him up and send him directly to the official?" A rather sensible servant asked before the others.

The surrounding villagers took a breath in their hearts, the name of the person who spoke was Aden, although Aden and Akars usually had a general relationship, but Aden was not taken care of by Akars's father when he was a child, and today he was the first to jump out and shout that the government would punish Akars, which frightened many people.

But no matter what, at this moment, one of the spectators in the crowd couldn't help it.

"Enough, enough! What are you doing! Wu Neng parted the crowd in front of him, strode up, and pushed away the few family members who were punching and kicking Akars.

Seeing Wu Neng come out to stop him, Jika's face was like a pig's liver sausage, as if he had just drunk a drink, and his whole face seemed to be bigger and became red.

For a while, the memory of being robbed of business by Shi Cheng and the three of them poured back into his mind, and with the anger of being blocked by Wu Neng in front of everyone today, a sky-high fire was formed in Jika's head, but there was still a top cover above this fire, which was struggling to suppress the sea of fire under him, which was the last trace of reason in Jika's heart.

Wu Neng looked at the village chief who was trembling all over, panting like an old bull, and knew in his heart that he still couldn't talk too much, he calmed his head and persuaded: "Village chief, even I, an outsider, know that there are a lot of unknown strangers coming from outside the village now, if you really want to find out who wrote these things on the board, then it is better to contact the government to check the identity of those strangers, what is the use of you wasting your time on an unrelated villager?" Don't let your misjudgment delay you in finding out the ins and outs. ”

Wu Neng's dry persuasion still had some effect, and Jika's reason finally prevailed, he took a few deep breaths, and then snorted angrily on the ground and smacked the crutch in his hand, "Hmph! Today, for the sake of Wu Neng Immortals, I won't worry much about you! You, and you, have been polishing your eyes all this time, and when you see those sneaky guys, you hurried to inform me, do you hear? His second words were addressed to Akars and the other villagers present.

After saying this, Jika turned around and walked away quickly, as if he was in a hurry to go home and discuss things with his family.

Akars was helped up by Wu Neng, and the thin man softly thanked Wu Neng in a deep tone.

Although his tone was low, Wu Neng could still see the raging anger in Akars's eyes, full of hatred.
