The road up the mountain was a bit too short, and Ma Xingkong didn't even think clearly about what Wang Tianzong would do to him? Will he wear flowers? Or wear armor?
Stepping into the Juyi Hall, Wang Tianzong sat on the big chair facing the door. Standing beside him was the old master, and on the left and right were the stewards from all over the village, all with stern expressions. There were also a dozen tall and round minions.
At the door, he was holding a machete in his hand, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. There was no laughter and laughter in the past, and he was so serious that it made people feel a little panicked.
Before Wang Tianzong could speak, Ma Xingkong said first: "Master, tell me how you want to deal with it. Anyway, I have already done the job, and there is no regret medicine. Whether you kill me or behead me, Ma Xingkong accepts it!"
"Hahaha..." Wang Tianzong laughed loudly and extended his thumb: "Brother Ma is indeed a man. In this case, I won't say anything more, just tie him up!"
Without saying a word, the minions at the door came over, tied Ma Xingkong into a rice dumpling, and knelt down on the ground. Wang Tianzong said loudly: "Ma Xingkong did not respect the order and acted without permission. According to the rules left by the ancestor, he pushed him out...
…”
"The big boss! The big boss!" Heiwa and Shitou outside the door of Juyi Hall yelled and squeezed in. Seven or eight big men tried hard to stop them. Shitou rushed over with a few hurried hands and caught several minions.
, separated everyone, rushed to Ma Xingkong, and started to stand up: "Whoever wants to touch my brother today must get through me first!" Wang Tianzong had never seen Shitou use force, and he was surprised when he saw it today. He thought that Shitou was nothing but
He is just a mason, but he is still an expert.
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned, Hei Wa also ran to Ma Xingkong and said to Wang Tianzong: "Master, what did my brother do wrong and I need to be tied up?"
The new gunner who just took office said: "Ma Xingkong disobeys orders and acts privately. If he doesn't comply with the 'eight rewards and eight cuts', shouldn't he be executed?"
Hei Wa said: "Yes, among the eight rewards, there are indeed those who resist orders and disobey. Among the eight rewards, there are rewards for those who are loyal to the mountain affairs, rewards for those who resist the enemy officers and soldiers, and rewards for those who bravely strive to be the first. I
Although I didn’t obey the orders of the master, all I did was for Woniu Mountain, are these three things not worth the sin of disobeying orders?”
Everyone was surprised. Wang Tianzong had nothing to say. Hei Wa continued: "I don't understand. It's all for the good of the village. How come you only remember the one about disobeying orders and haven't seen the other benefits of my brother?
"
There was silence during the inquiry, and the big butter lamp crackled. Heiwa and Shitou helped Ma Xingkong up and untied the rope that bound him. The old master coughed softly: "Ahem! Mr. Master, I think this time it will be fine.
Come on! Brother Ma has made great contributions to Woniu Mountain since he came up the mountain. This time it’s not a big deal, why not..."
"Hmph!" Wang Tianzong snorted coldly: "Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be forgiven. Come on, take me out and give you twenty lashes!"
Hei Wa wanted to say more, but Ma Xingkong stopped him with his eyes. In the square outside the cave, more than one meter apart, stood two wooden stakes. Someone tied Ma Xingkong's hands to the wooden stakes on both sides.
.The specialized executioner took out the water-soaked soft cowhide whip from the bucket, flipped his wrist, and turned the whip handle above his head. "Bang!" After a crisp sound, a faint mist fell from the sky, refracting the sun's rays.
Beautiful color.
He was seven or eight steps away from Ma Xingkong, and the whip was just able to hit Ma Xingkong's back. The executioner waved his whip, and the snake-like whip cut through the air, carrying a whistle, and stabbed Ma Xingkong's back.
The clothes on his back had a long cut, and his bronze skin was completely exposed.
"Pa!" The sound was not loud, and the whip pulled out a series of tiny gashes on Ma Xingkong's back. Bright red blood immediately flowed out, flowing down his back and staining the clothes around his waist red.
Ma Xingkong didn't say a word, gritted his teeth and received twenty lashes. There was no complete piece of skin on his back, and the wounds were slightly open like a child's mouth, and the exposed flesh was very scary. Even
This group of bandits with blood on their swords had to admire Ma Xingkong's perseverance.
Heiwa and Shitou hurried over and untied Ma Xingkong.
"Brother! Are you okay?" Hei Wa's voice was filled with tears, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Shitou carried Ma Xingkong on his back, and the three of them hurriedly walked down the mountain. Mouse came over and handed a small bottle of knife wound medicine into Hei Wa's hand. Hei Wa glared at him, shook off Mouse and followed Shitou.
That night, Ma Xingkong didn't have enough water, and he developed a high fever in the middle of the night. His whole body was hot, his cheeks were flushed, and he kept talking unclear nonsense. Heiwa and Shitou were running around anxiously, but it was Liu Wu who let Liu Wu do it.
Get cold water and wipe Ma Xingkong's body with a towel, hoping that this method can lower the temperature.
The whole night, the lights were on in the shack at Shankou, and he had no intention of sleeping. The sky was already bright, and Ma Xingkong's high fever showed no sign of going away. Hei Wa said anxiously: "Fifth brother, what should I do? I
Brother, this, this, why don’t you retreat?”
Liu Wu thought for a while: "It's not an option to continue like this. We have to call a doctor quickly. We have nothing here. It's not a joke to delay Brother Ma."
"I'll go!" Shitou jumped down from the kang: "Heizi, where did you say the doctor is?"
"It turns out there is a man on the back of the cow. Since the last time the police went to grab food, I haven't seen him again. Now I don't know there is a doctor there!"
Liu Wu suddenly said: "There must be one in Huangzhuang!"
"Huangzhuang?" Everyone was shocked: "There is a battalion of 'Lengzi' living there, hundreds of people!"
Liu Wudao: "I'm talking about the military camp. Think about it, these soldiers are fighting and killing all day long. If they have a gunshot wound or something, they don't need anyone to treat them. There must be a doctor in the military camp!"
"I'll go right away!" Shitou said nothing and walked out the door. Heiwa grabbed him and said, "You are looking for death. Go to the military camp to find the doctor! Don't forget that we are incompatible with them.
Two groups!”
"Then what do you think we should do? We can't watch our brothers being burned alive, right?" Shitou slammed the door hard, making a "bang" sound.
Liu Wudao: "It's not impossible. Let's do it. Heizi, you can ride a fast horse to Laojiashan Mountain to ask Sister Huo for help. We'll wait for you at Sanchakou. Hurry!"
Hei Wa agreed and rushed out. Liu Wu asked Shi Shi to find Hei Long and made an appointment at the mountain fork before leaving. Liu Wu Wu sent two brothers to continue applying cold compresses to Ma Xingkong. He warned the two minions that if they were not there,
Before coming back, he must try his best to protect Ma Xingkong. After arranging these things, Liu Wu picked up Ma Xingkong's gun and called a few people down the mountain.
The sky has brightened, and a layer of morning mist has risen in the mountains. Winter is coming, and the heavy rain last night knocked off all the remaining leaves on the book. The bare poplar trunks are like spears piercing the sky.
As Liu Wu walked, he was thinking about how to get a doctor from the military camp.
