Chapter 18: The Dong family is destroyed
Jingxian's thirty-fourth year, April 15th, three or four o'clock in the morning.
Xi Xingchen and Dong Liangce were very sleepy after working hard all night and driving all night. After returning to Dong's house, they simply washed up and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
Dong Liangce's home is a small farmhouse, with two side rooms on each side of the main house. An open space in front of the house is enclosed by a wall, where he grows some vegetables and fruits. Although his life is not rich, it is somewhat unique.
Xi Xingchen was placed in the west wing. After returning to the room, Xi Xingchen felt inexplicably flustered. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
"Is it because I'm too nervous?" Xi Xingchen thought to himself and rubbed his temples vigorously. He felt that his brain was still dizzy, which was a sign of physical exhaustion.
Xi Xingchen looked around the room, hesitated for a moment, and then made a small mechanism on the door and window of the room before getting dressed and getting into bed.
It's not that Xi Xingchen doesn't trust Dong Liangce, but that Xi Xingchen maintains a small habit when living in a strange environment.
This is a little trick Ximen Zhaixing, the chief of Nanmo, taught Xi Xingchen about traveling in the world. Ximen Zhaixing told him that a good habit is the first condition for a person to live a long life.
Xi Xingchen blew out the oil lamp and lay on the bed, reviewing what happened today in his mind, trying to find out what made him feel uneasy. However, he was too tired today. As soon as he touched the bed, he felt like there were mountains of weight on his eyelids, and he fell asleep not long after.
Probably stimulated by what he saw and heard today, Xi Xingchen didn't sleep very peacefully. He always felt like he was still sitting in a carriage, bumping up and down on his way to the county town...
Not knowing how long he had slept, Xi Xingchen woke up with a sudden shock.
As soon as Xi Xingchen opened his eyes, he saw a masked man standing in front of the bed with a steel knife, preparing to wipe his neck.
With almost no hesitation, Xi Xingchen turned over and grabbed the masked man's wrist with his right hand.
The masked man didn't expect that Xi Xingchen, who had been sleeping like a dead pig a moment ago, would suddenly attack him. He was stunned, and his movements slowed down for a moment, and the steel knife in his hand was suppressed by Xi Xingchen. But the masked man was also clever. He took advantage of Xi Xingchen's opportunity to grab the knife, broke away from Xi Xingchen's grasp, broke the window and jumped into the yard.
Xi Xingchen chased him out, only to find that there were three masked men in black clothes holding steel knives and full of evil spirits in the yard.
"Oops!" Seeing these three masked men, Xi Xingchen couldn't help but scream in his heart.
When the masked man broke the window and escaped just now, there was so much noise that the main house where Dong Liangce lived didn't respond at all. Xi Xingchen's heart sank.
Only then did Xi Xingchen realize that the steel knives in the hands of the three masked men in the yard were dripping with blood. The night wind blew and a strong smell of blood came from the direction of the main house. Xi Xingchen's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Seeing such a scene, Xi Xingchen immediately understood that Dong Liangce's family was most likely to be in trouble.
When he thought that Dong Liangce's family might be wiped out under his own eyes, Xi Xingchen's eyes suddenly turned red, he yelled, and he killed the four of them.
"Kill him!" Seeing Xi Xingchen taking the initiative to attack, the leading masked man waved his hand and led the other three masked men to slash at Xi Xingchen.
Seeing the menacing attack of the four men, Xi Xingchen was not afraid at all. He exerted force on his feet, and the speed of his forward speed increased again. The steel knife in his hand turned into a streak and went straight towards the masked man in the lead.
The masked man at the head did not expect Xi Xingchen's attack to be so swift and violent, so he quickly raised his knife to block it.
"Bang!"
The two steel knives collided violently in mid-air, causing sparks to fly.
The leading masked man felt a huge force coming from the sword, and with a light hand, a piece of steel sword flew into the sky.
It turns out that Xi Xingchen's sword strike at the leading masked man seemed to be unorganized, but in fact the angle was very tricky and his speed was faster than that of the masked man. Therefore, when the two swords intersected, the blade hit the masked man's sword. In front of him, he forcibly split the masked man's steel knife into two pieces.
The strong masked man in the lead was shocked when he saw his knife was cut off, and tried to retreat, but it was too late.
The steel knife in Xi Xingchen's hand was moved forward, and it penetrated into the heart of the leading masked man like a hot knife cutting butter, and emerged from the back.
Xi Xingchen kicked the masked man headed by the general to the masked man next to him. The masked man who came after him found that his boss suddenly hit him. His feet were obviously stagnant, and the steel knife in his hand instinctively moved towards him. After taking it back, I felt the world spin for a while, and finally I saw blood gushing out like a spring from the neck of a headless body, which was more than two feet high.
After knocking down two people in a row, Xi Xingchen's momentum surged, he shouted angrily, and pounced on the third masked man like lightning.
The third masked man was quite impressive. He actually swung his knife and started to fight with Xi Xingchen. Unexpectedly, Xi Xingchen was so powerful at this time. After the two of them slashed at each other three times, Xi Xingchen opened the middle door with a knife, and then With one knife, it was split into two pieces from the shoulder to the waist, and the intestines flowed all over the floor.
The fourth masked man, the one who escaped from Xi Xingchen's room, saw Xi Xingchen chopping up three people like melons and vegetables. He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
Xi Xingchen snorted coldly and kicked a steel knife on the ground. The steel knife shot into the back of the fourth masked man like it had eyes, nailing him to the wall of the courtyard.
After killing four people in a row, the bad breath in Xi Xingchen's chest was relieved, and his eyes gradually became clear.
Xi Xingchen was worried about Dong Liangce's family and hurried to the main house.
Pushing open the door of the main room, although Xi Xingchen was prepared, when he saw all four members of Dong Liangce's family lying in a pool of blood with their heads dismembered, he was still shocked by the tragic scene in front of him.
Xi Xingchen hurriedly ran to the east wing where Dong Liangce's parents lived, and also saw two old people lying on the bed with their heads missing.
Seeing the tragic situation of Dong Liangce's family, Xi Xingchen felt his legs become weak and fell to the ground.
When Xi Xingchen first came to Wan County, he stayed at Dong Liangce's house for one night and met Dong Liangce's children. The son is eight years old and the daughter is six years old. They are pink, very polite and very lovable.
Xi Xingchen clearly remembered that when he took out two copper coins and gave them to the two children as a greeting gift, the two children bowed to him gracefully and called him uncle affectionately.
The child's voice is tender, soft and waxy, and lingers in the ears for a long time.
Although Dong Liangce's wife is not a lady, she does not look like a vulgar woman. She doesn't speak much, but when she looks at Dong Liangce's inadvertent tenderness, the two are so deeply in love that they have never even held a girl's hand. Xi Xingchen has been envious of him for a long time.
Dong Liangce's parents are also two kind, hospitable old people. When they learned that Xi Xingchen was Dong Liangce's friend, they specially cooked a table of delicious dishes for Xi Xingchen that night. After three rounds of wine, Dong's father smiled brightly. Mother Dong's inquiries and advice made Xi Xingchen, a wanderer who traveled far away, briefly feel the warmth of returning home.
Such a good and kind family all died under the knife of gangsters overnight.
