Chapter 16: Tragedy, Murder

He remembered that in the original plot, Wumei Shitai did not pay attention to the thieves of the Great Sacred Peak, and in the end, it was Yan Wing Chun who severely injured the flying monkey Yuan Jie in order to protect a pretty widow named Wan Yanniang, and then led to the flying orangutan Yuan Lie, which set off the plot of the three battles of the flying orangutan in Wing Chun.

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Tianlai roughly guessed the reason for this change. In the original plot, there was only one disciple of Yan Wing Chun, and it was inconvenient for him to make a move for some reasons, even if he had the intention to kill the thief, he was powerless. And now that she has her own existence, she estimated that she and Yim Wing Chun's brothers and sisters should have a good chance of winning, so she made this decision.

The division must obey the order, not to mention that Yu Tianlai had already prepared for this matter, and now it is just a few years in advance. At that moment, he and Yim Wing Chun bid farewell to their master, and then each packed up their weapons and went down the mountain with Yan Er.

The three of them returned all the way back to Bauhinia Village, and as soon as they arrived at the door of Yan's tofu workshop, Yan Fanggu and Yan Yongqiu had already greeted them together. Yan Fanggu, who has no heart and lungs for a long time, has a rare ugly face, and the timid Yan Yongqiu is even more frightened like a frightened quail.

Yu Tianlai stepped forward and asked, "Sister Fang, but something happened again?"

Yan Fanggu nodded, and suddenly scolded: "Those bandits who should kill a thousand knives are simply inhumane, they ...... They actually slaughtered Whitewater Village!"

"Be careful when you speak!" Yan Er suddenly whispered, "Do you want to cause trouble for our family?

Facing the brother with a straight face, Yan Fanggu, who has always been spicy, only lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, so she had to honestly shut up and enter the store with everyone.

Because the entire Bauhinia Village is panicked, there is not a single customer in the store. Seeing this, Yan Er simply asked everyone to go to the door panel together and temporarily close down. After sitting in the backyard, Yan Er asked Yan Fanggu to tell the details of what he knew about Baishui Village.

It turned out that after Yan Er left, the residents of Bauhinia Village were also discussing whether they wanted the bandits to submit to Nagong. Then a piece of news came that made everyone collectively silent. Baishui Village, which is only 20 miles away from Bauhinia Village, is a small village inhabited by Yi people, although the population is not large, but the men in the village all live by hunting, and the folk customs are extremely fierce. The bandits of Dashengzhai also demanded that the hunters in the village hand over 30% of their prey as "peace money", but the villagers of Baishui Village refused on the spot. A group of bandits led by the "flying monkey" Yuan Jie actually broke out and slaughtered more than 70 people in the village, and many women were even humiliated before they died.

"Damn, these thieves really don't have any humanity!" Yan Wing Chun was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this, his starry eyes were cold, his face was murderous, and he turned to Yu Tian and asked, "Senior brother, what do you say?"

Yu Tianlai's face has lost his usual lazy smile, but his expression is still calm. He didn't answer Yan Yongchun's question, and instead asked Yan Er: "Uncle, more than 70 lives are definitely a shocking case, will the government ask about this matter?"

Yan Er smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's difficult! Those officials and masters are all bent on taking power and making money, who would care about the lives of the grass people? Not to mention that those few people in the county who can only bully the weak and fear the hard will never dare to go to the Great Sage Peak to die." If this matter is directly stabbed to the yamen of the government, the government may send troops to suppress the bandits. But as the saying goes, 'bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates', and when those soldiers urge food and wages, it can't be said that they still fall on the heads of the villagers. If there are more soldiers and ruffians who harass the people, the result may not be good for the villagers, and maybe it will be worse. ”

Yu Tianlai pondered for a while, and then said to Yan Yongchun: "Senior sister, I want to go to Baishui Village to have a look first, and then take advantage of the night to explore the reality of the bandits." I'll decide what we're going to do when I'm back. ”

Yan Wing Chun hurriedly said: "I'll go with my senior brother." ”

Yu Tianlai shook his head and said: "Although those bandits may not be able to attack Bauhinia Village, we also have to just in case, junior sister, you still stay and protect the family." ”

Yim Wing Chun knew that although he usually spoiled himself, he was very decisive in major matters, and he was deeply confident in his strength, so he didn't insist anymore.

Yu Tianlai left Bauhinia Village and rushed to the direction of Baishui Village. He walked very fast, twenty miles in a moment's time.

Baishui Village, a small village in a remote mountain col, has been transformed into a ghost domain. Intimidated by the obscenity of the Dashengfeng bandits, although the nearby villages heard about the tragedy in Baishui Village, no one dared to come and collect the bodies of the villagers who were brutally killed. Therefore, when Yu Tianlai walked into Baishui Village in the afterglow of the sunset that seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood, what he saw was the most real tragedy left after a massacre.

More than 20 young villagers lay dead at the entrance of the village, all of them holding crude weapons such as hunting forks, simple knives, and bamboo bows in their hands, and their bodies were covered with terrible wounds, apparently killed by the enemy after a fierce battle. Walking into the village, I saw the corpses of old people and children lying on the doorstep of every house. In the yards of many homes, there are still inch-sized corpses of women.

Yu Tianlai's footsteps stopped outside the fence wall of a family woven of bamboo, and his eyes fell on the body of a baby who was hanging from a sharpened bamboo branch through his body.

The baby was not yet a year old, wearing only a red cloth on his belly, and his little face, which should have been innocent, was bruised, and his eyes, which should have been pure and clear, were round and bulging, like the eyes of a dead fish.

Yu Tianlai's calm face changed suddenly, and he suddenly fled dozens of steps to the side, squatting in a corner in embarrassment and vomiting wildly. It wasn't until he vomited up the contents of his stomach that he slowly stood up, his face had regained his calm, but his eyes had burned with an unprecedented murderous intent.

In the plot in his memory in his previous life, those Dashengfeng thieves who are villains really don't have a bit of viciousness, and under the righteous iron fist of the heroine Yim Wing Chun, they look cute and stupid to the point of being almost pitiful and cute. But the tragic scene in front of him made him soberly realize that this is an extremely real world, not a movie for entertainment and laughter in his previous life. In this world, the bandit is not a poor worm who allows the heroine to bully wantonly, but a real outlaw who can kill people and oversell goods, and his hands are full of blood.

"Perhaps, the sooner I saw the reality, I could have done more, and this tragic scene might have been avoided......"

This thought came to Yu Tianlai's mind, but he immediately threw it away. After all, he is no longer a young man full of passion and enthusiasm psychologically, and he has long lost the consciousness of acting as a savior.

As soon as the thought disappeared, another even more determined thought emerged: "However, trying to do what you can may not make the world better, but at least it will not be worse!"
