Qinqin covered her mouth in surprise, she couldn't believe it, so Qinqin quickly reached out to pat the other three people, only to find that they were all the same.
Qinqin still didn't believe it, so she squatted directly on the ground, touched the ground, and found that she seemed to be a spirit body now and could not make any intervention at this time.
Qinqin soon understood that she had to be a spectator here, so Qinqin followed these four people silently.
The four people occasionally turned around alertly, but they could not see Qinqin.
Although Qinqin couldn't touch them and couldn't speak, it didn't affect Qinqin's ability to hear what they said.
After walking for a while, Qinqin realized that these four people were all from the same village, but because their village was located in a place where two countries were at war, the nearby villages were in dire straits. They all regard them as the other party's people, so every time there is an alternation of attack and defense, these villages will inevitably be looted.
At the beginning, the two countries only levied some grain, fodder, etc. from these villages. However, as the war lasted, these villages were already overwhelmed with care for themselves. How could there be any excess grain to hand over to them.
Later, these two countries began to recruit young and strong men from various villages to fight on the front line.
But everyone knows that this is almost a narrow escape from death.
Moreover, the number of young people in these villages is limited.
Later, these two countries intensified their efforts and began to forcibly recruit some women, elderly people, and children in the village.
Although these people had no combat effectiveness, the armies of these two countries asked them to act as death squads in front to clear the way for their troops. Soon, all the people in the surrounding villages were dead.
Because the battlefield is often here, Qinqin can see so many corpses of civilians around, including men, women, old and children.
Qinqin couldn't help but frown. She thought in her heart how cruel the people in these two countries were to come up with such a vicious idea and let these innocent people act as scapegoats.
However, while Qinqin was thinking, she heard the shouting in front of her.
It turned out that these four men were discovered by the patrol. Fortunately, the patrol here only had three people, and it didn't look like a regular army, but a temporary militia.
At this time, the four people fell to their knees and began to beg for mercy, saying good things.
Three militiamen came up with weapons in hand. One of them had his weapon on his back and a thick rope in his hand, trying to tie them up.
At this moment, all four men stood up and took out the sickles, hammers and short hoes carried on their backs. Kill him directly.
The militiaman with the rope in his hand was the closest and did not have a weapon in his hand. By the time he tried to retreat, it was too late to throw away the rope and grab a weapon.
His body was directly hooked by the sickle, and then two other men hit him directly on the head with a hammer and a short hoe.
"Poof!" With a sound, the militiaman's head was smashed open like a big watermelon. The whole person fell directly to the ground.
Qinqin was shocked when she saw this scene, but she couldn't shout out at all. She could only watch this scene with her eyes wide open in horror.
The other two militiamen were relatively far away. Seeing this situation, they immediately drew their weapons and attacked.
The six people fought together, but it was difficult for them to defeat the four with their fists. These two were just militiamen, not a regular army, and they had not received any military training. As they were fighting, they started to panic, and the result was not a while. At that time, the two militiamen were also killed by these four people.
However, these four people did not escape unscathed. Instead, two of them were injured. One of them was slightly injured and only had a cut. The other person was more seriously injured. He was killed by one of them. The militiaman was stabbed in the back, but his limbs were not injured and he was still able to walk.
After the four people eliminated the three militiamen, they began to fumble around on their bodies. They found that apart from some rations, they had nothing of value on them, so the four people took the weapons of these three people and continued to move forward. .
Because one person's back was seriously injured, he didn't carry anything after being bandaged. Qinqin also followed them. Now Qinqin was also a little curious about where these four people were going.
After walking for a while, the four people felt a little hungry, and they had just experienced a fight, so the four people leaned under a tree on the roadside and prepared to eat something. They each carried rations, and they had just Some food was also obtained from the three dead militiamen.
So the two uninjured people helped the man with a serious back injury sit down, and the four of them began to eat, and they all had their own water bags.
But while eating, one of the uninjured people seemed to be thinking about something thoughtfully. And he kept looking at the other three people with his eyes.
After he finished eating, he stood up and asked another person who was not injured to go with him on the grounds that he wanted to go for convenience, saying that it would be safer.
So the two of them walked into the wheat field. Qinqin didn't want to follow them at first, but she had a strong feeling in her heart that told herself that this person must be thinking about something, and going to convenience was just an excuse.
So Qinqin followed her bravely. It didn't matter if she was wrong, she would just come back.
The result was just as Qinqin expected. The man following behind said: "Hey, hurry up if it's convenient... Why are you walking so far... There's no one around here... What are you afraid of..."
As a result, the person walking at the front stopped and turned around and said, "It's convenient, that's just an excuse. I just have something to say to you... so I just called you out alone..."
"What? Talk to me alone?? What do you want to say?? Say it quickly... We have to go back in a while. Both of them are injured, and one of them is seriously injured, so as not to be in danger ." The man replied.
The person in the lead said: "What I want to tell you is about him... I have an idea..."
"Ideas?? What thoughts??" Another person asked confused.
At this time, the leader couldn't help showing a trace of cruelty and said: "I want to kill him!"
After hearing this, another person gasped and whispered: "Are you crazy?! What did you say?? The four of us have been friends since childhood. How could you say such a thing? Come..."
After hearing what his companion said, the leader said unhappily: "Stupid! What do you know! Yes, there are four of us now, but he has been injured. Although he still has mobility, his physical strength is gone. It’s not as good as before. Carrying him is a complete burden! Think about it... What if we encounter a patrol again?? What if we encounter a regular army again?? Can you save him?? Wouldn’t he still die the same way? ???”
After hearing what the leader said, the other person suddenly became a little hesitant and said: "What you said... does make some sense... but... why did you kill him??"
The leader looked like he hated iron and shook his head.
