What does it mean to be better when you are pregnant
These five simple words directly ignited Chen Tang's anger.
The woman was so frightened that she lost her soul and her expression was dazed. She lost her balance during the dragging process. She had no strength to break free and could only rely on her instinct to support her belly with both hands instead of one hand, curling up like a hedgehog.
It’s a pity that she has no thorns on her back.
The defensive action actually pleased her captor.
"Ha ha ha ha-"
"What are you afraid of, young lady? The brothers will take good care of you for your man, remember to serve him well, you don't want your man to be beaten, right?" The man who was dragging the woman by her hair squatted down, the woman was so scared that her lips turned pale, and she couldn't say a word. The woman's husband was kicked away, and he crawled back with his hands and feet, tears and snot, begging the soldiers to be kind.
Seeing this, the leader waved his hand.
He laughed and said, "Drag them both away."
Hearing this, several people smiled in a way that could only be understood but not expressed in words.
It was not the first time that violence was committed in front of the male kiss of the woman. The woman would often give up struggling by threatening with the kiss of the man, thus saving trouble. She could also listen to the man's painful roar, begging for mercy, and cursing, which was very exciting.
The refugees nearby dared not speak out.
Some people were angry and wanted to stand up, but they were pulled back by their companions, for fear of getting into trouble. The refugees who were traveling with female refugees hunched their shoulders, or used their bodies to block the female refugees, or pulled the female refugees and walked quickly, for fear that they would be the next to suffer...
Similar situations have become commonplace these past two days.
The older refugees looked numb and kept moving forward.
"Save the children—please save the children—"
Just as several soldiers were pulling the woman away by her hands and legs, as if they were catching a New Year pig, the woman began to frantically kick her hands and feet, turning her head to ask other refugees for help. Her eyes were filled with tears of despair, but there was hope in her despair.
However, the refugees in her sight simply turned their backs.
No one turned to look at her.
As the voices of the woman and the man faded away, it was as if nothing had happened. The refugees just wanted to escape as fast as possible, praying in their hearts that they would never run into these damned bandits again! However, their ears could no longer hear the pleas for mercy and screams, could their hearts
A dozen soldiers took the couple to a secluded place.
As soon as he let go, the husband went to protect the woman.
The outstretched hand was kicked away before it could touch him.
"If you still want to live, don't seek death. It's not like I won't return a woman to you. I'll borrow her for a while and return her to you when I'm done." The leading soldier sneered and reached out to loosen his belt. The other soldiers either laughed or raised their hands to control the woman's hands and feet, saying extremely obscene words to her. The man was forced to kneel on the ground, his hands were tied behind his back, and his neck was pressed against the ground with his cheek pressed against the ground. When he struggled, his cheek would be drawn by the pebbles and blood would flow. He could no longer hear the woman's voice.
At this moment, the hatred in his heart had reached its peak.
He wanted to die with these people, but the reality was that they were outnumbered and any struggle he made was in vain! At this moment, the force pressing on his neck suddenly loosened. Blood-red rain appeared in his sight, and the raindrops splashed on his face with the temperature still lingering. The man was dumbfounded, and his furious mind was completely unable to react until a head was kicked over.
The eyes in the head were wide open.
He also has a very familiar face.
Isn’t this the face of the leading bandit
When the man stood up, what caught his eyes were corpses lying in all directions, heads rolling all over the ground, and steaming blood gathering in pits. There were more than a dozen bandits, and all of them had been torn apart. He was stunned for a moment, thinking of the woman. Although his strong emotions and struggles made him weak, he ignored the stones on the ground and crawled to the woman's side.
It took the woman who survived the disaster a while to come to her senses.
Then she hugged the man.
The man asked: "What just happened?"
The woman said palely, "No, I don't know."
Her hands and feet were pressed to the ground, and the leading bandit tried to tear off her clothes. She was filled with despair and helplessly waited for death. Unexpectedly, the man's head suddenly broke away from his neck, and under the force of the blood column, flew to her face. Before it hit her face, it flew in the opposite direction, splashing blood all over her face. Even the headless corpse that was supposed to fall on her flew to the side and rolled dozens of times before stopping.
Blood covered her eyelids and the woman was forced to close her eyes.
Her taut abdomen inexplicably gave rise to a warm feeling, as if something warm flowed in from her belly. When she wiped the blood from her eyelids with her freed hands and opened her eyes again, she saw heads flying high in the sky in strange postures, and then falling to the ground with a plop.
Then, a bloody rain began to fall.
The man panted heavily, his head in disarray, unable to make sense of his thoughts. He didn't know if God heard his prayers and made the animals die suddenly, or if some righteous people secretly helped them... No matter which one it was, his wife was saved. The man knelt on the ground and bowed several times in all directions, and the woman also bent down. The man knew that he couldn't stay there any longer, so he helped the woman away.
Not long after the two left, the bodies and heads on the ground exploded with a few bangs, and blood flowers appeared on the spot. When the blood mist dissipated, not to mention identifying their identities through the clothes on the bodies, there was not even a piece of intact meat or bone to be found...
"The water has been pumped back."
Shen Tang came back carrying a bunch of bamboo tubes.
Seeing that his lord looked okay, Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are they?"
Chen Tang stopped drinking water and snorted, "He got a one-way ticket to the underworld! Such a beast deserves death!"
She was responsible for the killing, while Wei Shou was secretly responsible for destroying the bodies.
A group of people were missing for no reason, so it was impossible not to investigate. Chen Tang didn't want to bring disaster to these refugees, so she told Wei Shou to clean up the bodies. After drinking the water, the anger in her chest calmed down a little, and her brows relaxed a little.
Ning Yan on the side secretly clenched her fists.
She thought of herself for no reason.
If she didn't have this opportunity, and encountered war and escape, the same experience might have happened to her. Even if she was lucky enough to escape the disaster, could her daughter have such good luck? Ning Yan pursed her lips and suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart.
She said: "It's just a pity that these people can't be killed..."
Chen Tang said: "Of course I know I can't kill them all..."
"We can't kill them all, but those who are caught by us won't survive!"
The three of them continued to walk with the refugee group, because the refugees had no means of transportation - even if the wealthy families could use donkey carts or ox carts for transportation, they had been robbed long ago, and at most they could only leave a wheelbarrow - the group moved slowly, and from a high altitude it looked like a long worm moving. In less than a quarter of an hour, they encountered another group of robbers, and this time they targeted Chen Tang.
Chen Tang: “…???”
Jiang Sheng: “…”
Is this a death warrant sent to them by the King of Hell himself
Seeking death so precisely
Because Ning Yan was dressed up as a hunchbacked middle-aged woman, and Chen Tang's figure did not have obvious ups and downs, and her face was covered with makeup, and only her eyes were attractive, so this group of people did not covet her beauty.
They are here to ask for money.
Why did you focus on these three at first sight
Because the three people's hands have delicate skin, few calluses on their hands, and two rows of clean and neat teeth, how can they be raised if they are not wealthy? As soon as they came up, they showed their weapons and threatened: "If you don't want to die, hand over all the money you have."
A knife was placed on Jiang Sheng's neck: "Quick!"
It was not easy to kill people in public, and it was easy to expose his identity. Jiang Sheng had no choice but to feel around in his arms and took out a few pieces of silver to send them away. But the group was not satisfied. The silver was too little, and Jiang Sheng's group had only three people, which was not enough!
Jiang Sheng imitated the refugees and "begged" them.
It's not that Jiang Sheng didn't want to spend more money to get rid of the disaster, it's just because he really only had this little money left. He followed the army to fight, and he ate and lived in the barracks. What's the point of bringing money? There's no place to spend it! But the other party refused to give in.
One of them looked towards Shen Tang.
Among the three, Chen Tang is the shortest.
Guessing that these three people were a couple with a son, a clever guy put a knife on Shen Tang's neck.
Threat: "Do you still want your son's life?"
Chen Tang was silent for a moment, and Ning Yan and the others' faces twitched slightly. Jiang Sheng took a deep breath secretly: "Soldier, I really have no money! Please give me some convenience, I will remember it for the rest of my life!"
When we got to a deserted place, we killed a few of them!
The other soldiers had all looted money, but they didn't expect that they would run into a poor guy. How could the soldier give up? He immediately wanted to chop off one of Shen Tang's arms to teach Jiang Sheng a lesson. However, before he cut the knife, some evil thoughts emerged in his mind.
"What do I need you to remember? How about this, kneel down and kowtow to me! Kowtow ten times and call me 'Uncle' a few more times, and I'll let your family go, how about that?"
Jiang Sheng and Ning Yan's faces darkened at the same time. They were about to use the Word Spirit Lake to do something, but the soldier with a knife said to Chen Tang, "Yes, you kneel down and kowtow loudly, otherwise I won't be happy and you won't be happy either."
Chen Tang looked at them calmly: "You want me to kneel?"
The soldier's face was gloomy, and his smile was full of malice: "Humph, yes, it's you! I was going to make your parents kneel, but don't you scholars talk about 'filial piety'? We won't make things difficult for them. As a son, you should kneel on behalf of your parents."
They have done a lot of things to make fun of refugees.
Just kneeling down, kowtowing and calling someone "uncle" is not a big deal. Some people will even make others walk around on their knees, bark like a dog, and lick their feet.
No one would disagree, including this time.
"What do you think—"
The soldier was about to smile smugly. He was going to wait until the man really knelt down, and then crawl under his crotch. But... Hey, why does my neck feel a little cold? Why did my sight suddenly rise? Why did it suddenly go down
The last thing he saw was a foot kicking him in the face.
Chen Tang retracted his foot, and the tip of Jiang Sheng's sword was still dripping with blood.
As the headless corpse fell to the ground, the nearby soldiers noticed the movement and those closest to it drew their weapons and attacked.
Jiang Sheng and Ning Yan, each of them left a bloody mark with their sword.
Strangely, none of the refugees noticed this. Those who were running away continued to run, and those who were begging for mercy continued to beg for mercy. Only the soldiers continued to gather here. Jiang Sheng and the two scholars were okay against ordinary soldiers, but there were several low-level warriors among them.
They exploded on the spot before they got a few steps closer to Shen Tang.
Chen Tang lowered his eyes and looked coldly at the corpse on the ground.
Jiang Sheng shook off the blood on the blade of the sword and sheathed it.
He said coldly: "You are looking for death!"
If they were just asked to kneel, Jiang Sheng could still use the Word Spirit Lake to play with it and then kill them, but this thing chose the lord. Even if it was just the lord's illusion, they could not kneel to anyone, let alone accept the slightest humiliation!
The master humiliates the minister and he dies!
If this really happened, he could only draw his sword and commit suicide to apologize.
After a while, Wei Shou's Wuqi soldiers came out and removed all the bodies. Jiang Sheng then removed the illusion, leaving only a large pool of blood. The nearby refugees were frightened, but they did not dare to cause trouble, so they had to speed up their pace and leave, but they secretly paid attention to the three people.
Chen Tang said, “Let’s check which one it is.”
If there is a chance, I will give priority to that one!
"Remember to deal with the blood as well."
These two sentences were said to Wei Shou in secret.
Wei Shou grinned and resigned himself to his fate, going to capture the man alive and interrogate him.
Jiang Sheng said: "It is not advisable to stay here for long."
Speed up your pace and cross the river to Chaoli Pass as soon as possible to avoid more trouble. Chen Tang nodded: "Okay."
In just half a day, they encountered five groups of people.
The sky was getting dark. Chen Tang sat on a rock, pounding her sore thigh muscles. After a day of traveling, her straw sandals were torn. If she hadn't had the protection of her civil and military spirits, she would have had a few blisters on her soles. Jiang Sheng came back with firewood.
"How is it going?"
Ning Yan went to inquire about the news.
She sighed and shook her head: "It's a mess, a complete mess."
As the day went by, the number of refugees on the road increased instead of decreasing, with new refugees joining every moment. These refugees came from nearby counties, and some were from the same village. In just one day, seven or eight people were missing. It was really shocking.
"Ah... Zheng Qiao has a pretty good eye for people." Chen Tang looked at the bonfire, the orange-red light dancing in her eyes. She couldn't tell for a moment whether it was the bonfire or the anger in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "He died happily, but I don't know how many people will have to pay for this... These common people, how innocent are they?"
Ning Yan: "The human heart is like this, human nature is like this."
As long as there is a dispute over interests, there will inevitably be war.
It is precisely because of this that the lord is so precious.
Thinking of what she had seen and heard in the past few days, Ning Yan was about to say something to comfort Chen Tang, but she heard footsteps approaching and immediately shut her mouth. A figure fell down, followed by a male voice: "It's cold at night... Can you lend me a light?"
Ning Yan looked up at the man, a middle-aged scholar with a shabby appearance.
The bag I was carrying was deflated.
I don't know how many rounds of looting he has suffered in the past few days.
Seeing his huddled and pitiful appearance, Shen Tang nodded in agreement.
The middle-aged scholar hurriedly thanked: "Thank you very much, thank you very much."
He found a place to sit down by the bonfire and put his cold hands on the fire to warm them for a while. Soon, his hands felt warm. The middle-aged scholar sighed comfortably. Jiang Sheng added firewood to the bonfire and secretly looked at the scholar.
"Are you cold?"
The scholar said, "My clothes were stolen."
Jiang Sheng asked him, "Then you still have the fan with you?"
