Song Che found a stone in the pigsty and secretly polished it into a "blade" to prepare for his escape at night.
Of course, he desperately hoped that in this long day, some Miao people would wake up.
But it didn't.
Only then did he understand that the conflicts between the ethnic groups had reached a dire straits and one party had to pay a bloody price to resolve them.
This side will definitely be Miao territory.
It's a pity and pitiful.
gradually,
Slope westward day by day.
After unremitting efforts, Song Che finally sharpened a "stone knife" that was sharp enough to cut the rope.
Song Che hid the stone knife in his sleeve.
"Time is up!"
Two Miao men came to the door of the pig pen with a bundle of hemp rope.
"The time has indeed come."
Song Che stood up calmly and took the initiative to pass his hands over.
The Miao people tied his hands and pushed him all the way to the entrance of the Miao village like a prisoner.
An "altar" was built with dry firewood at the entrance of the village. Five to six hundred Miao people from the whole village gathered under the stage, glaring at Song Che with angry eyes, raising their arms and shouting in Miao language, as if to say "Burn" Kill him, burn him..."
Burn me to death? Song Che dismissed it and walked through the crowd with his head held high.
Song Che was brought to the altar, and Yun Ga personally tied him to a wooden stake and asked in a mocking tone: "Are you afraid?"
Song Che said, "I personally suggest that you move the altar to the Miao village, find a favorable location, and send more militiamen to guard the entrance of the village. Otherwise, once Wujiazhuang's cavalry attacks, you will have nowhere to escape." .”
Yun Ga hummed: "You are still talking empty words when death is imminent. I just don't know if you can be so calm when the fire starts."
"Jiang Xiaoli." Song Che suddenly spat out.
"What?" Yun Ga frowned.
The corner of Song Che's mouth raised slightly, and he said in a playful tone: "I have always wanted to taste Miao Mei. One day I will carry her to the bed and kiss her."
"I beat you to death!"
Yun Ga punched Song Che in the face.
Seeing his angry look, Song Che felt refreshed. He spat a mouthful of blood on his face and mocked with a smile: "You kicked me three times and punched me again. All your recklessness and stupidity will be wiped out." It will bring disaster to the village."
He looked at the Miao people in the audience again and couldn't help but sigh: "What an innocent group of people!"
"It's better than your pity. Soon, your screams will resound throughout the Miao village, and everyone will cheer for you!"
Yunga walked off the altar.
After a while, the Miao people escorted Jiang Xiaoli to the altar and tied her to Song Che. Dressed in red, her silver ornaments jingled in the wind, and her face stained with tears looked so beautiful.
"Brother Song, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have saved you..." Her eyes were filled with guilt.
Is it wrong to save people with good intentions? What a world this is.
Song Che smiled at her and reassured her, "Don't be afraid." Then he took out the stone piece hidden in his sleeve and cut the rope bit by bit.
Two Miao men stood on the left and right sides holding torches. The leader of the village walked up to the altar and gave a passionate speech in Hakka, as if he was passing sentence on Song Che and Jiang Xiaoli, which attracted a response from the people in the audience.
"ignition!"
After the leader of the village stepped down from the altar, two men from the Miao family holding torches lit the firewood. "Crackling..." The firewood continued to burn, and smoke billowed out. Song Che felt a wave of heat coming towards his face. .
In fear, Jiang Xiaoli cried and shouted: "Brother, daddy, brother, daddy..."
Seeing that the smoke had thickened, Song Che pulled hard with both hands and broke away from the restraints. He quickly moved behind Jiang Xiaoli and quickly cut the hemp rope on her body with a stone chip.
"That Liang man is going to run away!"
Someone noticed Song Che's actions, but by then the altar was on fire.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Yun Ga pulled out his Miao Dao and rushed to the altar to kill Song Che, regardless of the danger of the fire.
"Mei, let me save you!"
Taji also drew his sword and jumped onto the altar, blocking Yunga's attack.
"Taji, how dare you betray the Miao village!"
"Yunga, I wanted to marry my sister to you before, but now it seems that you are not worthy at all! If you want to hurt her, you must get through me first!"
"Then I will reunite you brothers and sisters!"
Two men from the Miao family fought with swords on the burning altar.
Song Che successfully cut off Jiang Xiaoli's hemp rope, but at this time, the altar was already like a cage of flames. The raging flames and heat waves created a dilemma.
Jiang Xiaoli fell into Song Che's arms and cried uncontrollably: "In my next life, I will be a pig or a dog, and I will not be a woman of the Miao family..."
at this time,
Sudden!
"Whoosh whoosh..."
In the night sky disturbed by thick smoke, a hail of arrows flew down, killing the Miao people under the altar indiscriminately.
"Da da da……"
The thunderous sound of horse hooves.
Then, I heard people raising their arms and shouting:
"The Miao bandits who stole silver must be punished for their crimes. They will destroy the entire clan and leave no one behind!"
"Kill!"
A hundred or so fast horses, led by three to five hundred militiamen, charged into the crowd in one fell swoop. Regardless of men, women, old or young, they cut down the Miao people they saw.
Cheering one moment, screaming the next!
Yunga and Taji also stopped fighting on the altar.
Yun Ga looked at Song Che with wide eyes, and then he suddenly realized that his arrogance and stubbornness were gone, leaving only annoyance and regret.
Song Che shook his head and returned a pitiful look.
It is indeed pitiful not to listen to good people.
Yun Ga gritted his teeth and jumped off the altar. Although he was extreme, he was a warrior.
Song Che took off his coat, wrapped it around Jiang Xiaoli's body, took a few big steps back, then took a sudden run, and jumped off the ring hand in hand.
Several places burned on his body, and he quickly put out the fire.
At this time, the Miao village fell into complete chaos, with fighting, wailing, roaring, crying, fire, and smoke. No one knew what would happen next moment.
Song Che is like a headless fly, not knowing where to fly. At this moment, a big hand pressed his shoulder. When he turned around, he realized that it was Taji whose face was covered in blood.
"follow me!"
Tajizhao used his knife to open a path in front, while leading Song Che and the others towards the village.
The village became even more chaotic. All the houses were set on fire by rockets. The fires, thick smoke and corpses everywhere were like a purgatory on earth.
Taji was familiar with the road. He turned a few turns and went down a few alleys before finally breaking out of the flame cage and arriving at the foot of a cliff outside the village.
Taji took out a hemp rope from the grass on the edge of the cliff, handed it to Song Che, and warned: "You go down from the mouth of this cliff. I have hidden a bamboo raft in a grass cage by the river ditch. My sister's surname is Song. I will hand it over to you." Here it is, you must protect her from now on!"
Song Che nodded in understanding and couldn't help but persuade: "The Miao village is hopeless, come with us."
Taji looked back at the Miao village in flames and said resolutely: "This is my home. Even if I die, I must protect it!"
"Brother! Don't go! Don't go!"
Jiang Xiaoli wanted to pull Taji back, but Taji pushed her away, turned around with tears in her eyes, and ran towards the Miao Village!
"Brother! Brother..."
The sad cry echoed in the valley.
