Chapter 244 Family
Under the wooden wall, the crowd was in an uproar, with expressions of amazement, fear, and anger everywhere.
These five men fought against nearly a hundred people, including one guard captain, which made an indescribable momentum spread, making people's hearts tremble and unable to calm down.
Among the crowd, of course, there were also the parents of the dead guards. A few pairs of them knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, but they were in a dilemma. Their sons were their own flesh and blood, but to most people, Shuqiuhu was someone who had saved their lives and provided them with food.
Being stuck in the middle, they didn't know what to do. They could only look at the leader who gave the order and ask, "Do gods really exist?"
"Chief, please say something. If God exists, please ask him to show up!"
The middle-aged man had a gloomy face and glanced at them coldly. If it wasn't for the need to reassure these residents, he would have implemented that backup plan long ago. But he didn't expect these people to trust that Hiiragi Qiuhu so much. In that case, he broke this situation.
"Hiroshige Qiuhu, your parents died when you were five years old, and it was the food of Feng Village that raised you up. Am I right?"
"Yes!" Shu Qiuhu dodged a knife and swept an axe across, but was dodged by the captain of the guard. The two began a new round of confrontation.
"When you came of age, you joined the guards and relied on your extraordinary bravery to become the captain of the guards. Did Fengcun deduct your wheat fields?"
"No!" Shu Qiuhu responded, and fought with the captain of the guard several times with his sharp blades, even knocking out a few fireworks.
"Then what are you doing now? Killing Fengcun's guards, ignoring their families, and then, are you going to kill me?!" the middle-aged man shouted angrily.
"So what if I kill you!" Hiiragi Qiuhu roared in response.
"You, you!" The middle-aged man pointed at the flashing figure of Shu Qiuhu, who was fighting with others, and asked again: "I will ask you one last time, put down your weapons, apologize to the gods, and everything will be fine, isn't it good?"
Shu Qiuhu did not respond, but chopped off his opponent's head with an axe. Mo Ran, who had just finished the fight, kicked the head.
The blood from the head dripped in the air, causing the group of young and vigorous people to look at Shu Qiuhu and his group with more and more admiration in their eyes.
The final destination of the head was under the door of the wooden wall. When the middle-aged man saw the head, his face became extremely gloomy. Zhen, who was tied with a rope, saw a head not far away and his face was terrified, but he couldn't shout out.
This appearance made the young men and boys who were not used to the leader's behavior, and even the women with great ambitions, hate this leader even more.
If he hadn't wanted to force the marriage, none of this would have happened today. If it weren't for the strength of Shu Qiuhu and his group, five people who truly wanted to do good for the village would have died today.
A fire was quietly lit among the crowd. The fire burned very brightly, like the only light under the dark clouds, making people want to get closer. The name of this fire is resistance.
The middle-aged man whispered a few words to the guards beside him, then looked at the five people who had already been covered in blood and made way for them. They approached step by step. Behind them, there were also residents following them. As they approached the wooden wall, the team became larger and larger.
"Hiroshige Kotobuki, since you won't surrender, be prepared to pay the price!"
"Of course I have to take responsibility for what I did!" Shu Qiuhu swung his axe in the air and roared, "I know what you did. You captured my wife and children and wanted to threaten me, right?"
"Now that you know, why don't you drop your weapons and surrender with your men?"
"Impossible! I came here just to chop you into minced meat! If anything happens to my wife and children, I will go down to accompany them after I kill you!"
Shu Qiuhu grabbed a handful of sand on the ground, then loosened his five fingers and let the sand flow down. When his hands were empty, he clenched his palms again and glared at the middle-aged man holding the hemp rope under the wooden door.
This glance made the middle-aged man's heart tremble, but only for a moment. He then looked at the kidnapped woman and child with a cruel smile.
"Hiroshige, you can let your own wife and children die peacefully and bury them with you, but what about your other brothers' children? Will you let them die too?"
"Old bastard!" Kujo Takeshun roared. He knew that his wife and children had also been arrested, but knowing and seeing it with one's own eyes were different things.
Shenli Sangxi frowned as he looked at his wife, whom he was going to marry in a few days, falling to the ground. The two looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with sadness.
"You bastard, you old fool! Ahhh!" The young man cursed angrily, but there were tears in his eyes. He looked at his beloved wife being held at knifepoint, but he was powerless. There was nothing he could do.
Mo Ran was still roaring, blood was rolling down, the sound was like bursts of muffled thunder, it seemed as if the spirits in heaven were aware of it and summoned a black cloud to gather quickly.
Ying was also tied up, with her mouth stuffed with a cloth. Her eyes were full of helplessness, like a powerless girl.
"Hahaha, what have you thought about? Shu Qiuhu, who do you think I should kill first?" The middle-aged man walked over with the rope, tapped Shu Yingxiu's face with the blade of the knife, then pointed at the child and scared him.
Shuqiuhu's eyes were bloodshot and he felt unbearable pain in his heart, but if he surrendered, not only would all his efforts be in vain, but more similar things would happen. He opened his mouth and moved it three times, but no sound came out.
In the distance, under the eyes of Qiu Yingxiu, which were full of fear, there was a hint of determination, as if he had the courage to not fear life and death. He silently said in his heart: "Qiu Hujun, I know what you are talking about. There is no need to be like this. We have always been a family, always."
"So, you don't have to feel sorry because of me. It's just... our son, Shuu Buwang, will be implicated because of us. I'm sorry, kid. I want to say sorry to you on behalf of your father and myself!"
The middle-aged man looked into the distance. Under the wooden wall, every tree and grass looked like an enemy. All the guards were guarding inside the gate. In total, there were only more than twenty people. Compared with the people outside the gate, they were just endless grass and growing saplings.
In this unfavorable situation, the middle-aged man's mind raced. He looked at the girl he was holding, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Girl, your brother is also outside. If a fight breaks out, I can't guarantee his safety."
"So, no matter what, he has to become a family member. How about Miss Zhen go and call him in?"
A drop of crystal blood really slid down the corner of her eye, and her gentle look made me feel pity for her, but the firm and unwavering gaze that followed was something that ordinary people could hardly match.
"Even if I die, I will never let you harm my brother!" This extremely gentle girl finally exploded under the relentless pressure of the evil man.
At this moment, she was not the Thunder God Baal, but just an ordinary girl.
"Then what about your sister?" The middle-aged man pointed the finger at Ying. He knew where this girl's weakness was. As long as he could grasp it well, she would be a surprise weapon.
Zhen looked at his sister with deep reluctance in his eyes, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Ying, we had agreed to take you and your brother with us, and the three of us would live happily together until we grow old."
"Now it seems that I may have to break my promise. My brother is a very strong man outside and has a lot of weight, so I'm sorry, I can't call him or disturb him."
"You remember it, right?" Zhen smiled. Although she was not extremely beautiful or had a stunning appearance at this moment, it was hard for people to look away.
"My brother actually cares about us a lot, but for some reasons, he can't say it. However, I think Ying can feel it from his actions. We are a family and will be a family for the rest of our lives."
"But it seems that because of this, Ying was harmed by my brother and me. So, if you hate us, in your next life, you will become the oldest among the three of us and teach us a lesson, haha!"
A truly beautiful smile is more beautiful than a hundred flowers, but the tears in the corners of the eyes can't help but flow down. Half of the smile is as beautiful as a flower, and half of the tears stain the clothes. What kind of happiness and suffering can create such a relationship?
"Woo woo!" Ying's mouth was blocked and she couldn't utter anything, but tears welled up in her eyes and finally fell down.
rustle……
The rain poured down in torrents, washing away the blood stains on everyone's bodies and trying to wash away the filth from the entire earth.
A sudden thunderclap sounded, illuminating the whole world for a moment. The middle-aged man who had been listening to the two sisters' conversation for a long time swung his knife, which gleamed with a cold light and was chilling.
"It's so noisy! They keep talking about family and family. How is it possible that someone is willing to die for his family?"
"Guards! Leave ten people to defend, and the rest, go out and kill all the residents!" The middle-aged man roared loudly, his voice becoming the only human voice in the rain.
The guards immediately took action and rushed out with swords drawn.
The five people including Shu Qiuhu naturally would not let this happen. They were about to step forward with their weapons raised, but were stopped by a shout.
"Whoever of you five dares to stop me, I will kill his family. Let's see who you want to protect! Hahahaha..."
The middle-aged man laughed out loud. Abandoned by his family since childhood, he liked to see others suffer because of their family, and then be destroyed by him bit by bit until they died.
The residents were startled at first, and some were ready to flee, but the shouts of some young people made them stay.
"What are you afraid of? We have more than 200 people, and their guard team only has a dozen!"
"Let them be drowned by a mouthful of spit from each of them!"
"Captain Hiiragi, you guys step back, it's our turn to fight now!"
They picked up straight knives on the ground, or took machetes for cutting wheat at other people's doorsteps, or kicked down fences and drying racks and took down wooden sticks.
The residents, who were just a mob in the middle-aged man's eyes, now rose up in resistance, which shocked him again. He shouted, "Why, why are you all against me!"
"Kill them, kill them! Kill them all!"
In the battle between a dozen people and more than two hundred people, the result was known without even thinking. In the surging crowd, the guards were completely wiped out without a sound.
However, the effect of this dying counterattack was also significant. Dozens of residents who had never experienced fighting were killed, but these dead people awakened the souls of the living.
At this moment, we must fight bloody battles, bathe in the blood of our comrades, the blood of our enemies, and our own blood, and we will fight to the end.
"Rebellion, rebellion!" the middle-aged man roared angrily. He turned around and saw that four people including Shu Qiuhu had climbed over the wall at some point and rescued the hostages.
The fighting among the residents had already spread to the door. The middle-aged man pulled the rope, put the knife on the neck of the last hostage, and slowly backed away.
The two carefully trained warriors still loyally guarded the middle-aged man, but they could not resist the people for long against their overwhelming force.
In the battle near the door, a girl of only fifteen years old, holding a straight knife, with blood dripping from the knife, was a heroine, but bravery could not replenish strength.
When she was fighting with a guard, she fell into a disadvantage and was about to die. Several people she knew also tried to rescue her, but their actions were a little slow.
A bloody knife was stabbed into the guard's heart, and then he was kicked away. Accompanied by roars, Mo Ran's double knives chopped at the next target.
The girl was left standing there in a daze. After a while, she looked at Mo Ran who had hacked all the enemies to death and whispered, "Thank you."
The middle-aged man cowered against the wall, his arrogance gone. He threatened, "Don't come over, or I'll kill her with a knife, and you won't be able to have a good life!"
puff!puff!
Mo Ran roared and killed two assassins with two swords. His bloodthirsty and red eyes stared at the middle-aged man like a monster in human skin.
He approached the middle-aged man step by step, and the thunder in the sky became more and more dazzling and deafening.
“Stop!” the middle-aged man shouted, and the knife cut Zhen’s neck, drawing scarlet blood. He roared, “Back off, everyone, back off! Otherwise, I’ll kill her first!”
Mo Ran, who was closest to him, looked at his sister deeply, growled, and slowly moved back, one step at a time...
The middle-aged man was delighted, thinking it was very effective, and decided to use it as a threat. After all, he was alone now, and there was nothing he was afraid of except death.
"Brother, and Ying, goodbye!" This gentle girl seemed to have chosen to commit suicide in order to prevent the evildoers from surviving.
As soon as she moved her neck, the sharp blade cut her throat, and scarlet blood spurted out. Her eyes, which were always very gentle, gradually blurred, and she could no longer see the appearance of her family members...
