Chapter 6 Cutting Weeds and Exterminating Roots and Weeping
The shuttle...the crossbow arrow leaves the string.
Big Scar has been thinking about how his brother died. At this moment, he understood, but the price is that he needs to experience it personally.
Looking at the crossbow arrow piercing his heart.
Only a small end remained outside, while more parts of the crossbow penetrated his body.
The tip of the arrow stained red with blood was exposed from the back.
A wall is indeed a separation between yin and yang, and when Big Scar stepped through this wall, he and his brother came to the same destination and embarked on the same road.
As expected of brothers, Big Scar and Little Scar ended their lives in the same way.
It wasn't until this moment that Qin Qi'er breathed a sigh of relief.
Once Big Scar dies, the danger alert is lifted.
Being able to kill Big Scar like this was entirely a dangerous undertaking.
Just bet that Big Scar didn't expect that he would dare to open the door to meet the enemy, and bet that the rogue would cooperate.
There was an error in this process. Once he failed to kill Big Scar immediately and was approached by Big Scar, the person lying on the ground would be himself.
Once Big Scar dies, only the scoundrels will be left.
The remaining scoundrels posed no threat. They were trembling and standing aside in fear.
Even Big Scar is dead, and they don't even have their only backbone.
Then I thought about it, it was a good thing for me that Scar was dead.
"Qin Qi'er, it's him, he forced us, and Li Goucheng, it was he who gave us the ecstasy soup. They all deserve to die. We are all innocent. You can't do anything to us."
The scoundrel thought he saw a chance to survive.
In order to survive, Geng's knees softened and he knelt down towards Qin Qi'er.
In the face of life, dignity is worthless.
Big and small scars were dead, and so was Li Gou Sheng. Seeing the scoundrel begging for mercy, Qin Qi'er was shaken.
She is not an executioner who specializes in killing people, and the remaining scoundrels cannot harm her.
No matter what, we are all from Nanshan Village. I really want to kill them all. I can't bear it.
Just when Qin Qier hesitated, one hand took the crossbow from her hand.
It's Pei Yun.
Pei Yun took the crossbow, pointed it at a scoundrel, and pulled the trigger.
The crossbow arrows were fired, and the scoundrel opened his mouth in disbelief.
Phew.
The crossbow arrow shot right into the mouth, moving forward and then out.
It was really unexpected. No one expected that Pei Yun would take the crossbow and kill people.
Even Qin Qi'er didn't react, let alone the rogue.
There were still two scoundrels left. Seeing Pei Yun continue to cock the arrow and pull the string, he realized that they were going to kill them all.
They cursed in their hearts and immediately moved their feet, trying to escape.
Shuttle...then let out a scream.
A scoundrel who moved slowly was pierced by a crossbow arrow just as he had time to run.
There was only one scoundrel left running away, quite quickly.
Just as he was about to run out of the yard, he heard the sound of an arrow being stringed behind him.
Just like the sound of calling for life, the scoundrel who had already run to the gate tripped his left foot and fell down.
This is panic.
Originally, he had enough time to run, but when he fell down and tried to stand up again, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind.
Pei Yun didn't give him any extra chance.
The arrow left the string and hit his head.
For a moment, red and white things splashed everywhere.
At this point, all the intruders were dead.
Standing in the yard, looking at the corpses lying there, especially the last one whose head was shot, Pei Yun couldn't hold it back any longer and started retching.
Fortunately, the food eaten in the morning has been digested long ago, otherwise the image would be even more embarrassing.
"Sir, are you okay?" Qin Qier ran over and asked with concern.
Pei Yun shook his hand and said, "It's okay, just take it slow."
There was a sigh in my heart. As a man, I am not as good as Qin Qi'er when it comes to killing people.
Qin Qi'er blamed himself: "The slave family is not good. They shouldn't be unable to take action. It is the slave family who should kill them."
Pei Yun smiled and rubbed her hair with his hand, "Don't do this. It's already hard enough for you. Killing them will make you struggle in your heart. Just leave things like this to me."
It's a good idea to cut the grass and get rid of the roots. So many people have died, so I don't mind a few more.
If you let the person leave, he might hold a grudge and continue to cause trouble.
All the intruders died.
On the other side, the black smoke in the sky is getting worse and worse.
It can be known that the situation in Nanshan Village is getting worse and worse.
A worried look appeared on Qin Qier's face.
The villagers who used to come and go frequently were experiencing unexpected events, which made her unable to remain indifferent.
"Sir, I want to visit Murakami."
Qin Qier wants to do something, after all, she is capable of doing something.
She is a hunter with a crossbow in her hand. In terms of strength, no one in the entire Nanshan Village can beat her.
There was a request in his tone.
In Qin Qi'er's heart, she regards the young master as her savior. Therefore, her life belongs to the young master. What she wants to do will risk her own life, so she needs to ask the young master.
"Then go ahead and remember, your own safety is the most important thing." Pei Yundao said.
"Yes." Qin Qier nodded vigorously. From these words, one could hear the concern for herself.
It feels good to have someone who cares about you.
The entry of the tile bandits into the village caused a devastating disaster to Nanshan Village. Many houses were burned down and many people died, most of them men.
In the eyes of the bandits, only men can cause trouble for them. As soon as they enter the village, they point their swords at the men. As long as there are no men, Nanshan Village will be at their mercy.
If it weren't for Qin Qier's arrival, this would indeed be the case.
With his own efforts, Qin Qier changed the situation.
With one shot and one crossbow, she was able to repel the bandits, leaving several corpses behind.
It was Qin Qi'er who prevented things from developing into a worse direction.
Before, in the eyes of the villagers, Qin Qier was a hunter.
But now, Qin Qier is the hero of the villagers.
There is an extra hero in the village. This is something that should be happy, but no one can be happy.
The bandits ran away, but Nanshan Village was also devastated, and was filled with wails and cries everywhere.
Sun Yaozu looked at his village sadly.
As he got older, a lot of white hair suddenly appeared on his head, making him look older.
His body was already on the thin side, and now he was swaying and might fall down at any time.
But he can't fall.
He is going to fall, what should Nanshan Village do?
His heart was like that of howling and crying, but he couldn't howl and cry.
He knew that Nanshan Village was miserable now, but he couldn't be immersed in the present. He needed to think about the next way forward.
Many people died, twenty or thirty, mostly men.
This was enough to crush Nanshan Village.
But at least, this kind of problem won't break out immediately. The lack of men will only make life difficult in the future.
In front of Sun Yaozu is a warehouse, which is used to save grain and pay land taxes.
The black smoke has dispersed and the fire that burned the warehouse has been put out, but nothing has changed.
The food was first looted by bandits and then set on fire.
The food that was originally stored...is gone.
This is used to pay land tax.
Even if the food is gone, land tax will still have to be paid.
Those people don't care if they encounter bandits, no matter how difficult they are, as long as the time comes, they will collect land tax.
Land tax must be paid, but since the warehouse is gone, there is only one way to get enough food from the villagers.
However, the villagers only have so much food, which is enough to fill their stomachs.
If you really want to collect enough food from the villagers, there will be only one result: the villagers will starve to death.
But will those people take care of this? No, they won't.
In their eyes, people like themselves are worthless, and they will die if they die.
Thinking of this, Sun Yaozu couldn't hold it back and his eyes turned red.
Land tax is right in front of you, and this is a dead end. What can you do?
Someone is coming this way.
Sun Yaozu lowered his head and wiped the moisture from his eyes, and then he saw the person clearly.
This person is the hero of Nanshan Village, she is Qin Qier.
Sun Yaozu's face showed kindness, "It's Miss Qin. I'm lucky to have you this time. It was you who saved Nanshan Village. I would like to thank you on behalf of everyone."
"What did the village chief say? I can't bear your thanks, so I just did what I should do. Besides, what I did was not enough."
Qin Qier looked at the burned warehouse and sighed.
She knew what it meant when a warehouse burned down.
She also saw the tears in Sun Yaozu's eyes just now.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. In order to lighten the atmosphere, Sun Yaozu showed a relieved smile and said: "God will never give up, everything will be fine."
These words are obviously of a comforting nature, but besides these words, what else can be said, as long as the burden only weighs one person.
If you don't give people hope, even if this hope is illusory, then people who have no hope will immediately collapse.
"Instead of placing your hopes on the unrealistic God, it is better to rely on yourself."
Someone said, it was Pei Yun.
Sun Yaozu was attracted to Pei Yun.
He had heard the villagers talk about Qin Qi'er having an extra man, but this was the first time he had truly seen it.
When he first saw Pei Yun, Sun Yaozu had an idea in his mind. This man was too unconventional. What was unconventional was that people like him should not be in such an environment.
It must be said that as an old man and a village chief, Sun Yaozu has experience that others do not have.
First I was attracted by Pei Yun, and then by what he said.
"You said you don't rely on God, but rely on yourself. Do you have any insights?"
This is not a denial, but a question.
From this we can know that Sun Yaozu is a very good talker.
Negating people will only make people feel rude.
Even if you don't agree with what he said, you can still show an attitude of inquiry.
Yes.
Sun Yaozu did not agree with Pei Yun's words.
Don’t rely on God, rely on yourself.
As for today's Nanshan Village, who has the right to say this?
