The Man Who Lives in Trouble Chapter 10 Opening the Altar and Offering Sacrifices to the Heavens
At the end of March, spring is at its most beautiful. Flowers bloom all over the mountains, brilliant colors with charming fragrance sweep the whole county, and some paper kites float in the sky, which are children playing in the wind.
Ye Hongfeng stood in a room, surrounded by officials, and the neighbors gathered outside to talk to each other. Sunlight poured in through the window and shone into the damp room. The woman who was rescued in the downtown a few days ago, the woman who was lying in the corner of the wall and peeking at Ye Hongfeng in recent days, was lying on the bed at the moment, her clothes were disheveled, and her breath was gone. Her face was full of horror and anger, and her hands were clenched into fists until death, as if she were about to make a final struggle.
Her life seems to have just lit up a glimmer of light, but it has been ruthlessly extinguished. She died in such a hurry before she even had time to tell herself her name. Ye Hongfeng closed his eyes, unwilling to look at all this. At this moment, that desperate feeling of powerlessness hit him again, he was still the powerless child, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change anything, even if he became a county magistrate and became an official.
"Bury her...... Remember to find someone to change her clothes and wipe her body clean......" Ye Hongfeng clenched his fists hard, he really didn't expect that the Taoist priests of Dongguan would treat human life like a mustard and ravage it wantonly.
Chen Hu's expression was gloomy, and he silently did what he was told. No one bothered Ye Hongfeng, he just stood quietly until his teeth bit his lips and bleed.
That day, he sat alone at the woman's grave, and poured jugs of wine into them until he was unconscious.
......
"Bang, bang!!" Chen Hu slapped the door panel vigorously, and the wooden door creaked and creaked, as if it would fall apart at any moment.
Ye Hongfeng opened the door, his hair was unkempt, and his eyes were bloodshot. It had been days since the woman had been buried, and all these days he had been in his room, and his mind was always recalling that image, that human tragedy. Heifeng Village has not replied to the letter so far, those bandits are Ye Hongfeng's last reliance, and they have been fighting with Dongguan for several years.
He wanted to kill the beasts in Dongguan, but he also knew that he couldn't do it alone.
So he's waiting.
Chen Hu stood at the door, not saying a word. Ye Hongfeng asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong?"
Chen Hu hesitated for a while, a little unbearable, and finally said: "My lord, the master of the winter view is opening the altar to worship the sky, and in addition to pigs and sheep, there are ...... sacrifices."
"Say!" Ye Hongfeng said coldly.
"And a little girl......"
Ye Hongfeng smiled miserably, there are such people in this world who destroy human nature. Immediately, he clenched his fists and walked out of the yamen with Chen Hu and the other officials.
The viewer did not shy away from it, and directly erected a high platform in the downtown area to worship the sky. The little girl with her pigtails was now tied to a pillar with some dry wood piled up underneath. A woman collapsed under the dry wood, covered in blood, and the little girl was now in a coma, with tears remaining in the corners of her eyes.
The people lined up in a long line, and under the supervision of the Taoist priests, one by one threw silver taels and jewelry into a huge box. Those who do not throw it or throw it little will be brought up by the Taoist priest and whipped in public.
Ye Hongfeng kicked away the Taoist priest who was pumping people, and the officials stood separately, faintly trying to surround the high platform. They had all been to the dead woman's house, and they all knew about the beastly behavior of the Dongguan Taoist priests, so they no longer chose to retreat, even if they died, they had to bite into this group of Taoist priests, so that they could also taste the pain.
Ye Hongfeng stared coldly at the Guan Master and said, "Let them go." ”
The Lord condescendingly said, "Why do you want me to do this? I'm here, and you have the ability to kill me." ”
Ye Hongfeng stopped talking, took out a knife from the waist of the official beside him and walked towards the high platform. He'd never killed anyone, but today he wanted to try.
The Taoist priests looked at his sword-wielding figure, laughing while talking, this mortal who had not opened the sea of qi also wanted to oppose the Guanzhu? The officials followed him, but were stopped by the Taoist priests.
Suddenly, a Taoist priest on the stone steps shouted at him: "Lord County Commander, I see that your knife doesn't seem to be moving, why don't I hold it for you?" hahahaha...... Haha......" Before he finished speaking, Ye Hongfeng raised his hand and cut off his arm with a knife, and blood shot out. This Taoist priest fell to the ground with a shocked face, covering his wounds and wailing, he still couldn't believe that Ye Hongfeng really dared to hurt people, in front of the Lord!
Everyone was stunned, the scene was extremely silent, and no one dared to speak out for a while.
The Spectator suddenly burst into a rage, and he screamed, "How dare you hurt someone, how dare you hurt my people in front of me?"
"Beasts are not as good as beasts, they should be killed. Ye Hongfeng just replied lightly, dragging the knife and slashing towards the viewer. The viewer didn't even dodge, with a move of his hand, the spiritual power overflowed from the sea of qi and wrapped around the knife. With just a slight pull, the knife came out of Ye Hongfeng's hand and fell under the stone steps. The viewer stretched out a hand and slapped it on Ye Hongfeng's chest in the shape of a palm, and suddenly he flew out like a kite with a broken string, sliding down the stone steps, hitting his head on the ground, and his black hair revealed some red.
He was so weak that he didn't eat or drink in the house these days, and he was shaky even just standing.
Guan Zhu walked to the pillar, hooked his hand on the little girl's chin, turned his head to look at Ye Hongfeng, and said, "Do you want to save her? Do you still want to save everyone here? Do you really think that you are an immortal? You still want to be a hero when you are so weak? I want to see how you save her." The viewer stretched out a finger, and a flame lingered on the finger. I saw that with a flick of his finger, the wood burned.
The Taoist priests under the high platform urged the people to continue throwing gold, silver and jewelry into the boxes, and the officials fell to the ground, they were only mortals after all. No one resisted again, everyone just silently lined up and threw their savings into the box.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it looked like it was about to burn to the little girl. Ye Hongfeng picked up the knife and rushed to the high platform again and again, but he was always easily knocked down by the viewer. The injuries are getting worse and worse, the clothes are full of tears, and the stone steps are covered with blood marks, Ye Hongfeng is about to be unable to hold on, even standing with a knife is an extremely difficult thing.
"I know you, my mother told me that you are a great prefectural magistrate. ”
"For you, this sugar gourd is sweet and delicious. ”
No! she can't give up yet! she's still saved!!!!
Ye Hongfeng squeezed out all the strength of his body and rushed forward again, and the viewer still removed his knife, but that palm was in vain. When the viewer turned around, Ye Hongfeng was in the fire, throwing away the burning wood with his flesh and blood to extinguish the fire.
Some of the people clenched their fists, some bit their lips, but after all, no one came out.
Suddenly, a gust of wind mixed with some water vapor blew through the fire, and the fire was extinguished.
The Lord looked solemnly and looked at the side where the wind was blowing. A sloppy handsome young man put his hand on the shoulder of a strong man and said with a smile: "Luo Mang, your trick is much stronger than that bullshit badger pig, just blow the fire and extinguish it." ”
Luo Mang raised his hand and touched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Boss Su, it's the viewer, not the badger pig." ”
Su Shili waved his hand and shouted towards the high platform: "Hey, what kind of badger pig, look at the little people I brought, is it enough to beat you?"
The viewer's face darkened, he gritted his teeth, and left the downtown with all the Taoist priests. This bandit leader surnamed Su is bringing a little bit of people, and the entire Black Wind Village is here.
Ye Hongfeng hugged the little girl and looked in the direction where the viewer left, with awe-inspiring murderous intent.
