The words were divided into two parts. Just when Wei Kui borrowed ferocious weapons and weapons from the Nameless Temple to show off his power, Lu Zhiying returned to Lu'er Village to find out the "traitor" who had informed Wei Kui.
As soon as he entered Lu'er Village, Lu Zhiying was so angry that more than twenty young and middle-aged men from Weijia Village were all missing. On his way back to the village, he saw no trace of these people. They must have taken a detour long ago.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhiying knew that most of the plan he had laid out for a long time had been ruined. He was so angry that he went straight to Lu Ning's house to find her and ask her what happened.
When Lu Ning met Lu Zhiying, although she was a little timid, she still answered fluently. She only said that she had been chatting with Wei Kui to hold him back, but a young man from Weijia Village came over and whispered a few words to him in a hurry, and Wei Kui left. No matter what she said, he could not stay. After a while, those people The young men in Weijiacun also left one after another.
This argument is reasonable, but Lu Zhiying can be regarded as one of the few educated people in more than a dozen villages in the mountain, and he has been hanging out with bandits all the time. He is no longer the poor scholar who is ignorant of the world. He was originally He was doubtful, but before leaving Lu Ning's house, he suddenly found out——
"Lu Ning, let me ask you, where is your donkey?" Lu Zhiying asked after seeing the empty millstone in Lu Ning's yard. In the past, Lu Ning's family would have a black donkey come to grind some coarse grains every day, but today there was no sign of the donkey. Could it be that... Lu Zhiying had already made a guess in his mind.
"...It was borrowed from Liu's mother's house, what's wrong?" Lu Ning was silent for a while and replied. She lied without changing her face or heart. Mother Liu was a woman from the same village. She lived on the other side of the village, some distance away from Lu Ning's home. If Lu Zhiying went to Mother Liu's house to inquire about the situation, she would have time to hide.
Lu Zhiying nodded and was about to turn around but raised his right hand. The two bandits following him immediately rushed forward and slashed Lu Ning on the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious. His body suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground.
"Hmph... Your black donkey is the only one in the village with leprosy. Do you think I can't recognize it? It was obviously you who tipped Wei Kui off, and he rode your black donkey back to Weijia Village." Lu Zhiying said bitterly, this little girl ruined his plan, how could he not let her suffer and pay a price? He ordered his men to throw the fainted Lu Ning on their horses and take him with them, and together they left the village towards the bandit village.
In Weijia Village on the other side, the villagers struggled to support themselves and got into a fight with the bandits. All the old and young in the village were killed and injured, and the bandits were not having a good time here either. The situation reversed when the two brothers Wei Gong and Wei Cheng returned in a hurry with the young men from Weijia Village. These men had been running around for more than two hours and were already tired and exhausted, but they were thinking about Wei in their hearts. Seeing that the bandits had the upper hand, the men, women, old and young, relatives and friends in the village immediately cheered up and forgot about their physical and mental fatigue. They swarmed up and attacked from the outside of the bandits' encirclement, waving farm tools.
The leader of the bandits commanded a large group of troops to hunt down Wei Kui. He led a small group of confidants to transport the looted property back to the mountain stronghold first, while military advisor Lu Zhiying also took advantage of the chaos and returned to Lu'er Village - what was left here There are only some crooked gangsters who are not even ranked among the bandits who are doing the final elimination. How can these people become the climate? Beating up women, the elderly and children was quite exciting, and following a large army with flags and cheers was okay, but facing a group of angry young men, they were no match at all. They were quickly defeated by the "rescue team" led by brothers Wei Gong and Wei Cheng. They were captured one by one and retreated, leaving only a few remaining soldiers who were defeated and escaped in the chaos.
"Dad! Uncle Wei Tao! Are you okay?" Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Wei Gong squeezed into the crowd to look for his father.
Wei Tiezhu was sitting on the ground holding his thigh, "I'm fine, I'm fine... Go and see how your third grandfather is doing!" Wei Tiezhu's injury was not serious, but his leg was injured when the bandits charged on horseback. ; Wei Tao is not seriously injured, with only a few skin wounds from weapons on his naked upper body; it’s just Grandpa Wei San...
Wei Gong walked through the crowd and came to Grandpa Wei San, and found that Grandpa Wei San was lying on the ground without breathing... Grandpa Wei San was already old and his body was weak and could not bear the torment. He was also excited and angry because of Lu Zhiying's betrayal. He passed out under the attack of his heart, and was injured by a bandit who had killed a thousand swords in the chaos just now. He was already heading west.
"Third Grandpa!" Wei Gong immediately cried heartbreakingly. His younger brother Wei Cheng, who was standing next to him, was also sobbing on top of Third Grandpa. Although the men, women, and children around him were in shock, they could not help but cry. All were sad and shed tears. Although Old Village Chief Wei San is good at wine and good-looking on weekdays, he has always been a fair man. Whenever there is a quarrel or dispute between any family in the village, he will calm it down with a bowl of water. On weekdays, he leads the villagers like an old naughty boy. Children play. It was really infuriating that such a kind and kind elder was killed by a traitor. For a while, mournful cries broke out one after another, not only for the third grandfather and other fellow villagers who died and were injured under the iron heel of the bandits, but also for Weijia Village. Crying when misfortune comes. Weijiacun was eager to help, and Grandpa Wei San was sincere to each other. Why did he suffer this disaster? God is so disgusted.
Everyone was tired of crying and their voices gradually became quieter, but Wei Cheng suddenly got up from the body of Grandpa Wei San, his eyes were red and his fists were clenched. He said loudly to the villagers: "I want to do it for Grandpa Wei San." Ask for justice with the villagers! Whoever wants to go to the Bandit Village with me to take revenge should come with me!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed. His eldest brother Wei Gong said quickly: "It's okay for us to be able to barely protect ourselves. How can we attack the bandit's stronghold? Let's clean up the mess first and think about it in the long run!" His father Wei Tiezhu also dissuaded him: "You Wei Kui The eldest brother just led a large number of bandits out of the village. At this time, his life and death are uncertain, good or bad... What if..." Wei Tiezhu did not dare to say any more. He was not cursing his nephew, but the bandits were really There is strength in numbers, and Wei Kui has not come back yet - Wei Kui is the backbone of the young people in Weijia Village, and it is absolutely necessary to be without him.
Unexpectedly, Wei Cheng argued with reason: "Brother Wei Kui is certainly the leader, but we can't rely on him all our lives. There are still a few horses in the village at this time, and we young men are riding on them. Two routes - one to follow the footprints to find Brother Wei Gui, and the other to gather some heroes who are not afraid of death in the surrounding villages - these bandits have done many evil things, and all the surrounding villages are not immune to persecution, so there must be strong-willed men to respond. , if Big Brother Wei Kui’s fortune shines brightly, we will have a big boost and our chances of winning will be even higher.”
Wei Cheng's face turned red with anger, he gasped a few times and then said: "The bandits returned with a full load today. I'm afraid they had already held a celebration banquet. They would never have thought that we would have the courage to counterattack. This time they have tasted the sweetness. , after a period of time, they will definitely kill us again after we have rested - we are closed today and cowed tomorrow, when will we be the end? In the final analysis, we are just killed by them once, or we are killed by them again and again. Just die! Besides, we may not be able to bite off a piece of meat from their bodies to make them afraid of us from now on!"
Frankly speaking, although Wei Cheng's words made some sense, they were very irrational. Fighting villagers against bandits was undoubtedly a way to die. At this time, he was also overwhelmed by anger and grief. However, this impassioned speech aroused the enthusiasm of the men in Weijia Village. Weijia Village has always been known for being strong and brave, both men and women are no exception. At this time, the young people were all moved by Wei Cheng's words. Full of enthusiasm, they raised their arms and responded.
The elders of Weijiacun, such as Wei Tao and Wei Tiezhu, who were also famous men when they were young, saw that their nephew, who was only seventeen years old, was so heroic, and gave up the idea of persuading him to join. At this time, Weijiacun was filled with mourners. Generally speaking, Wei Cheng's words are undoubtedly inspiring. No matter how irrational he is, one of his words is quite correct - resisting or not resisting is just a matter of being killed by bandits once, or being killed again and again. I was killed by them once.
The houses of several men were closest to where the villagers gathered. They took out wine jars from their houses and poured a bowl of wine for all the men, women, old and young in the village. After the bandits looted, almost half of the wine jars and bowls were broken, but at this time, the fifteen-year-old villagers, both men and women, picked up the broken cups in front of them - the village was broken, the bowl was broken, but the fierce If the wine does not sap, the human heart will not sap.
Wei Cheng was a child who did not drink alcohol before. Even Wei Tiezhu strictly prohibited him from drinking the contents of the cup at yesterday's banquet. At this time, a bowl of strong wine entered his throat and abdomen, and he couldn't help but feel hot and dizzy. He threw the bowl in his hand to the ground with all his strength, picked up the knife dropped by the bandit at hand, raised it high above his head, and shouted angrily: "The hatred of the villagers must be paid with blood!"
The villagers were also infected by his ambition. They threw their bowls on the ground and shouted with Wei Cheng: "Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
Slogans were shouted and emotions were expressed, but the anger had not yet poured out. The more seriously injured men stayed in the village to rest and clean up the mess together with the women and the elderly. After the less injured people were hastily bandaged, they slowly picked up weapons and farm tools. They gathered at the entrance of the village to wait for departure; and the healthy young people rode several horses and divided into several groups to go according to Wei Cheng's idea; Wei Cheng and Wei Gong brothers each tied several knives with cloth on their bodies, holding them in each hand. The man carrying the pitchfork and the rake walked at the head of the procession. At a glance, there are only a few dozen men in this team, and there are faint traces of blood seeping through the cloth strips on their bodies and heads. They look like stragglers and remnants of soldiers, but they are as powerful as a vast crowd. .
After leaving today, I don’t know when or how many people will be able to return it. I can only fight against the man and go through the misfortune together.
Weijia Village was united, but the atmosphere there was very subtle - at this time, Wei Kui and Lu Zhiying were facing each other with a distance of about ten feet.
Wei Kui originally killed the bandits at the Nameless Temple and wanted to return to the village to support the villagers. However, on the way, he saw three people and three horses carrying a woman lying on the horse up the mountain. Wei Kui couldn't see the woman's face clearly and couldn't recognize it as Lu Ning, but he knew his enemy Lu Zhiying even after he turned into ashes. He was eager to pursue revenge and chased the three of them up the mountain. Although the black donkey-looking unicorn under his crotch is an exotic BMW, it only revolves around a millstone all year round, and has developed a lot of laziness to drive along the road. It is not much faster than ordinary horses, until The three people in front of me slowed down on the dangerous cliff edge and caught up with them.
At this time, Lu Zhiying took the bandit's knife and held it in his hand, put it against Lu Ning's throat, who had already woken up, and said viciously: "If you dare to take a step forward again, I will stab this little girl to death! You You don’t want to see her die, right…?”
Wei Kui narrowed his red phoenix eyes and looked as if he wanted to eat someone, but he just held his two halberds at an angle and faced Lu Zhiying, not knowing what he was thinking.
