"Sixth, fourth, did he tell the whereabouts of the Night Pearl?"

"Second brother, he won't speak. ”

Dig a hole in the middle of the head, pour oil, and then light the oil-soaked cotton rope, and when the victim hangs his head on the dying, the oil fire will slide into the pile of wood under his feet. The fire "Teng!" suddenly ignited. It's called lighting a sky lantern. The fourth child was tied to the stake with his head upright, and the red-hot soldering iron burned his tender skin, making a "squeak" sound, but the fourth child didn't even have the strength to scream, and the blood between his fingernails dripped to the ground along the bamboo sticks. The bright red wound on the flesh skin was opened by the leather whip, and blood was still oozing from the scab.

The fourth child couldn't stand it anymore, his head tilted, and the oil flowed out of the hole in his head, flowing to his face and hair, and caught fire. The second brother took out a scoop of oil from the wooden barrel and poured it on the fourth child's body, and the flames "soared" and burned even more vigorously, burning all over his oil-coated body.

When the smell of burnt corpses filled the cellar and it was difficult to breathe, the two murderers doused the carbon-black corpses with two barrels of water.

The eldest brother, who stood in the shadows, commanded: "Kill the whole city and take everything of value." ”

At this time, in the blockaded city, the sound of horses' hooves, fighting, and screaming began to sound. The robbers kicked open the wooden doors, waved their weapons at the hands of those who stood in their way, and the thieves with their hands and feet cut off a pair of noblewoman's ears with gold earrings and carried them into their bosoms. Or slash a few times in a row, so that the defenders have no power to restrain the chicken. Blood splattered the cheeks of the murderer's deceased. The stolen gold and silver jewellery was also stained with blood. Finish with a fire, destroy the evidence, and burn the people hiding in hidden corners.

Or someone tried and managed to climb the walls. There, the eldest brother ordered some of his men to guard the gates, and the defender cut off four of the climber's fingers with a knife, and the climber fell hard. The convulsive climber was eventually stopped by a few sharp arrows. Those running in the street were pierced through the chest and abdomen by a spear at an angle, and the footsteps and spears supported the bodies of the fleeers on the stone pavement where the leaves were swept away by the wind. A thief's finger is bitten off by a rebel, and a vengeful robber dismantles the rebel.

The robbers on horseback listened to the screams of the fire, and the ridges of the roof toppled in the fire. At this moment all the rooftops of the small city were ablaze, and the flames stained the night that was about to dawn red. Several wagons were already filled with chests of treasure. The eldest brother looked at his masterpiece and said, "The sun is coming out, let's go." ”

The carriage crushed over a dead body, and the sudden cry of a baby stopped the retreating robbers. In the arms of a woman's corpse was a baby waiting to be fed. Look at the robbers with a knife and cut down. Destroy the last poor voice in the city.

It was three years ago, and to this day in my dreams, I still dream of those scenes, and now I am a madman in the cottage. Live in the most dilapidated and remote thatched hut in the cottage. I bought a coffin to store the charred body of the fourth child, as well as the tablets of the dead brothers. The eldest and a few brothers knew that I was crazy, and no one wanted to come to me to see a bunch of dead people and a madman, so I lived well. Even though I know that the people in the cottage have died mysteriously one by one, I believe that as long as I continue to go crazy, I am the last one who will survive.

Just the night before, the sixth child died, and when the brothers found him, he was still dying, and the leader asked him, "Who is the murderer?" The sixth opened his big mouth, so that the brothers could see that there was no tongue in his bloody mouth. Then he died, and the sixth came to me for the last time, and asked me, "The eldest wants to divide the treasure and let the brothers go home." I want to ask you one last time, the whereabouts of the Pearl of the Night. ”

I hid in a corner in fear, pretending to say, "I don't know anything...... and giggled. I don't really know anything, all I know is that he's going to die too. I know the eldest brother, the eldest brother would rather die than take out the bright treasures in the cellar and distribute them to the brothers, the eldest brother just gathered the brothers in the lobby of the cottage before leaving, and made a few jars of good wine to treat the brothers.

The eldest brother first picked up a big bowl of wine and said earnestly: "Brothers, come back alive and have money to spend." ”

On the third day after the sixth child's death, the eldest brother gathered a group of robbers, and after the massacre and robbery, there were more than 130 people, and only 70 people remained. Three of the robbers who were seriously wounded were killed by their companions. For the Boss said, "The rest of the treasure is divided equally among the heads." ”

Sixty-seven robbers drove three wagons of treasure back to their cottage as they crossed the valley. A boulder tumbling down from a cliff smashed down to block the retreat.

Then the horses that had opened the way in front of them fell into a deep pit under the trap, which was covered with sharp bamboo thorns, and the robber fell from his horse, and his body was pierced by the bamboo thorns.

"There was an ambush. Quickly withdraw" The robber who turned his horse's head in front of him panicked. I don't know that there is no way back.

The robbers took up arms to resist the escape, and the stones fell one after another, crushing the whole horse under the stones, and the stomach was broken. The stoned robber fell to the ground, trampled into a bloody blur by the stones and footprints that continued to fall. The boulder smashed open the treasure chest, and one of the swift robbers grabbed a handful of jewels and stuffed them into his bosom, and decided to climb the boulder that had cut off the way and take the way. The eldest brother drew his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow through the chest of the fleeer. The survivor's horse leapt to its feet and stepped on the boulders. Some robbers had no choice but to abandon their horses and flee into the wilderness.

The panicked horses' hooves kicked up large clouds of dust. More than thirty horses, panting, galloped along a path and quickly burrowed into a wood.

The dense canopy of trees hides the scorching sun. A few rays of sunlight shone down in a few places, shadowing the leaves.

Unexpectedly, countless daggers-like daggers shot out from the gap between the leaves and the light, and the head of the short sword was tied to a thin metal wire, like a needle and a thread, the blade pierced the robber's chest, and the body was hoisted from the tree with the wire. Or shoot cross-shot into the trunk of the tree, forming a wire mesh in front of it, and a wounded robber, exhausted, hits the wire mesh and falls heavily from the horse's back, and the frightened horse steps over the owner's head and turns around and runs.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, I pretend to be crazy and stupidly eat wild fruits in the dark, watching the brothers die in danger, I know that there is a yellow finch hiding behind, and now every move of this cottage is being monitored, and the yellow finch knows that the night pearl is still in the cottage. There's a good chance I'll be the next one to die. I had to figure out a way to be safe.

I went into the cave, I built a secret passage in the cave that led directly to the cottage, so that I could be haunted and mingled in the rivers and lakes, and I couldn't survive without my own secrets, and there were two coffins in the grass hut, one of which was empty, and it was prepared for myself. Without anyone else noticing, I lay down in the coffin and closed the lid. In order to build a safe place for myself, I spent three years of my madness designing more classified mechanisms. Store food and explosives in caves in case of danger.

I was in the cave, and I could clearly hear the hoofs of horses galloping back breathlessly. When they returned to the village, it was noon, and at this time, I always jumped into the lobby every day to have a cottage meal.

"Big brother has a sip of wine first. The eighth brother handed the wine bowl to the eldest brother and said, "Big brother, just like that, we have given away the treasure we have obtained for nothing." ”

"Old man, you take a few people and go back immediately. Let's take a look at who is scheming us. Under the disparity in strength, don't force it. ”

"Brother Qi is injured, so I'll take a few people with me. "The eighth has a big scar on his face, which distorts the whole face. This scar is the result of burning and looting.

"Then you go and come back quickly. The eldest brother took a sip of wine and looked at me.

I lowered my head, filled the meat on the plate into my mouth, and finally raised my head, sprayed the meat scraps in my mouth, and said to my eldest brother with a grin, "Big brother eats meat." ”

"Big brother, could it be our own people?" interjected the second brother, who had a long beard and a bald head. The shrewdness and calculation in his head killed many of his brothers. Now he's putting his damn mouth to his big brother's ear again.

Hearing the whispering of the eldest brother and the second brother, the seventh brother sitting next to him closed his right eye tightly, and a stream of blood flowed from his eye. Lao Qi said: "It seems that my eyes are going blind, maybe when I die, I will be even worse than the fourth brother and the fifth brother." ”

"If the fourth child didn't want to swallow the night pearl alone and kill the fifth, he wouldn't have been tortured to death by the sixth. The eldest brother sighed. He should feel the deepest guilt for the fourth brother in his heart, the fourth brother blocked an arrow for him and saved his life. Otherwise he would have died long ago.

"Fourth, I'd rather die than tell the whereabouts of the Night Pearl. can't blame Lao Liu's ruthlessness. ”

"The second brother and the fourth brother's tongues have been cut off, and I can't say it if I want to say it. The fifth child's head is gone. No one saw with their own eyes that the fifth brother was killed by the fourth brother. ”

"What did you say, the seventh, the fourth's tongue fell out?" the eldest brother pressed his throat, and a layer of fine sweat secreted from his face.

"Big brother, after the fourth brother died, I carefully examined his body. I found out. ”

Back then, the eight of us swore brothers, and set up camp on the mountain with a group of bandits and robbers, saying that we would be blessed and share hardships, but we were secretly blinded by the treasure. After the fifth child accidentally obtained a night pearl, his head disappeared, and in the face of the headless corpse, the second brother speculated that it was the fourth brother who killed the fifth brother, and the sixth and fifth were twin brothers, and they misheard the words of the second brother and killed the fourth brother. Actually, I know where the night pearl is, but I don't know who killed the fifth brother, and who instigated the second brother to frame the fourth brother.

At night, only the second brother led a few brothers in the cottage to patrol over and over again, these days, the brothers in the cottage all died strangely, eight or nine brothers were pierced by the short sword with wire in the throat, hanging on the beams of the house, they were quite quiet before they died, without any clues, the sound told the living brothers to come to the rescue. The second brother took a few brothers on patrol for a night, thinking that they would be safe, but when the meal was opened in the early morning, he found a few boiled heads in a few iron pots where meat was boiled, and the head with a scar on his face belonged to the eighth child.

Fear spread throughout the cottage at once, and I even heard several brothers secretly colluding to escape from the cottage together. In fact, before this, there were a few people who tried to escape, but they were all killed on the way. It was the eldest brother who sent someone to hunt him down. But in the end, there was one thing that made the surviving brothers all escapees. Early that morning, a few brothers who woke up first went to the well to get water, and someone threw poison into the well, resulting in the poisoning of more than 20 people. The second brother also seemed to realize the uneasiness, and he took the lead in leading a group of brothers to rebel, and they smashed open the cellar vault of the eldest brother in an attempt to rob it.

They did not know that the brothers who wanted their lives had already ridden their horses and fled, and only their brothers who did not want to die would open the treasury of treasures for them under the cheerful coping of the eldest brother, and they would lose their minds like madmen in front of the golden treasures, and keep taking the treasures into their arms. While these people were all immersed in the joy of greed, the eldest brother calmly pulled his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow through the second brother's head.

After that, the eldest brother closed the stone door of the vault outside the vault. Trapped those people inside, no one wanted to come out again.

After fleeing, the entire cottage was empty, and only the eldest brother, me, the seventh brother, the eldest brother and the seventh brother were holding a big knife and drinking a big bowl of wine. I sat down quietly, opened a jar of wine, and poured it down with my neck up.

"Third brother, you're not crazy, are you?" the eldest brother asked me.

"I've been crazy since the day our brothers killed each other. I replied to my eldest brother, and there were tears in my eyes.

"Come, eldest brother, third brother, let's do it. Don't say anything, it's all in the wine. The seventh brother raised the bowl, and we drank together.

What should come is always coming, countless short swords tied with wire pierce through all the thin crevices of this wooden cottage building. It is like sewing a garment with a needle and thread, interspersed in all corners of the stockade, hanging, and knotting. The eldest brother and the fifth brother brandished their broadswords to knock out the oncoming swords, and I simply put down a few tables to block the direction of the sword. The fifth brother was injured in the right eye, and several short swords from the right pierced his chest neatly, and then the steel wire hung him alive on the beam, and the fifth brother hung in the air and swayed, spitting out a mouthful of blood and sliding down to my face, and said to me with a smile: "I died a good death." ”

The eldest brother was also injured, and he knelt on one knee, his right hand supporting himself with a large knife to prevent him from falling, and his left hand holding the wires inserted into his body. said fiercely: "Even if I die, I also want to see in whose hands I died?"

The wire that held the sword to it began to taut, squeezing away everything loose in the stockade until the sword was fixed in all its fixed positions. The corpse of the fifth brother twisted and squeezed into the gaps in the wooden frame of the beams with the tightened wire, and the eldest brother was dragged and knocked over several tables and a row of wine jars. Eventually, his neck was choked, and the body was stuck in a mess of wooden furniture.

In contrast to sewing clothes, this threaded design shattered the wooden cottage building under several shakes. The fallen pillar buried me underneath.

In the dust and mist, I quickly ducked into a dark tunnel and escaped from the buried ruins. I lit the torch to see in the dark who was the murderer who had hunted us.

When the dust settled, nine masked men in black stood under the rubble. The man in the center began to lift the black veil from his face. I could see the man clearly through the moonlight, it was him.

Luckily, I had been prepared for the fact that I had built underground tunnels in this cottage a few years ago, and in order to wait for this day, I had planted enough explosives to destroy the cottage. I lit the fuse in the cave, then slung my coffin over my shoulders and swaggered out. I think it's time to figure these things out.

"Fifth brother, are you back?" I walked over.

When his subordinates saw me coming over and hiding murderous intentions, he waved his hand and signaled not to do it yet: "Third brother, are you not crazy?"

"No, Old Five, what the hell is going on? ”

"I'm the fifth, the headless corpse is fake, our brothers colluded to swallow the night pearl privately, the night pearl is not one, it's three, I gave one of them to the fourth brother, and then leaked the only night pearl in my hands, and then everyone thought I was dead, the second brother saw the night pearl in the fourth brother, and naturally suspected that the fourth brother killed me. However, the second brother is playing the sign of revenge, but he actually wants to take the night pearl for himself. The sixth brother was afraid that the fourth brother would say it, so he cut off the fourth brother's tongue during the execution. But I know you know where the pearl of the night is?"

"Why did you kill your own brother? You are brothers. ”

"Third brother, my brother actually forced you to tell you the whereabouts of the Night Pearl that day, and I was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so I killed him. Now third brother, as long as you tell the whereabouts of that night pearl, you can survive. ”

I put down the coffin on my shoulder, then stripped off all my clothes and threw them all to him: "The beads are in the clothes, and if I can have a coffin, I will be content." ”

Seeing the people tearing and tossing my already tattered clothes little by little, I slowly removed the lid of the coffin and lay down on myself, a soft light shining through my belly, in fact, the pearl of the night was in my belly.

I closed my eyes and waited for a loud "boom!" to shatter the so-called dream.
