Chapter 88 088: Take it with you? [Requesting monthly tickets]
Shen Tang asked: "What are you vomiting for?"
Zhai Le had a handsome face and explained in a low voice: "I'm afraid that when you bury the body, there are people nearby watching. Here we are. So, you just walked away with your front foot, and came over with your back foot to dig out the body..."
Because he was drunk, Shen Tang didn't think clearly for a moment.
“What are you going to do with these?”
Zhai Le changed from his usual relaxed mood. Even his peach blossom eyes, which were always smiling, turned gloomy. There was sadness at the end of his eyes, but what he said made people shudder: "I'm so hungry. What else do you think you can do?"
< br>He pointed it out directly, and Shen Tang suddenly opened his eyes wide.
I didn’t say anything for a long time.
"But, but that's a human..." Shen Tang looked at a loss and confused at this time. She hesitated unconsciously and murmured softly, "How can a human...can't! That's... People are of the same kind, and they are buried in the ground..."
Qi Shan took Shen Tang all the way to Xiaocheng. In order to endure less hardship and find out more information, the route was not remote, and they were separated by one or two days. You can encounter villages and towns every day. People's lives are very difficult. They can only make do and stick to the most basic bottom line.
Shen Tang knew that such a thing existed, but had never seen it.
Zhai Le is different.
Zhai Le and his cousin Zhai Huan set out from the southeast. Relying on their good skills and tacit understanding of cooperation, the two dared to dig into any place. They passed several bandit dens along the road and killed several groups of extremely vicious people. , as Zhai Le said, act chivalrously and fight against injustice.
The villain is easy to kill but hard to fill his stomach.
He and his brother once passed through a village. There were only thirty-six households in the village, most of whom were old, weak, women and children. The young and middle-aged were all drafted off to fight.
That day, an old man in the village passed away. He and his brother stayed in one of the farmhouses. As night fell, they heard conversations coming from outside the courtyard. Curious, he looked out through the window and saw the skinny Muramasa delivering bowls of broth from door to door.
With my good eyesight, I also saw the peasant woman’s expression was bitter.
There are not many edible tree roots nearby.
Zhai Le didn’t know what kind of soup it was at first, so he curiously told his brother about it. To this day, he still remembers his expression at that time. Half of his face was dyed reddish by the candlelight, and the other half was slightly red. The face was hidden in the shadows, and the shadows appeared and disappeared with the faint flames.
He even had a terrifying delusion - a ferocious giant beast covered in blood was lurking in the dark. It would jump out and eat him up until his brother opened his mouth, chewing him into mincemeat.
The oil lamp beeped.
Brother said with an indifferent expression: [The living are always more important than the dead. The dead are dead, but the living must still live. 】
Zhai Le still didn’t understand the meaning of these words, until the day he left the village, another family held a funeral.
Zhai Le rode away and turned around unintentionally to see the relatives of the deceased crying and burying the body into a grave made in advance. But before the coffin could be sealed, Muramasa brought someone over to negotiate.
The distance was too far and Zhai Le couldn't hear what they said, but judging from their excited exchange that almost turned into a physical conflict, both parties were unhappy, and in the end the body was moved out.
Suddenly——
Brother’s words lingered in his mind.
Only then did he truly understand what happened.
Zhai Le, who kills people without blinking an eye, almost fell off his horse that day and vomited out all the dry food he had eaten yesterday.
【Ah, brother...】
[Similar things have never happened. ]
Zhai Le: [But...]
Zhai Huan looked indifferent: [Before you are unable to help them stay away from hunger, never criticize their behavior or interfere. Unless - you have the sacrifice courage of Buddha to cut off your flesh and feed it to the eagles, and sacrifice yourself for it. Xiaofang, they have to live...]
Zhai Huan's voice was as gentle as ever, and it also made Zhai Le feel helpless as never before. It was the despair that his cousin, who he had regarded as a role model since childhood, was helpless.
Zhai Le said in a low mood: "My brother said that these people want to live more than anyone else, but the world wants them to die more than anyone else. The injury is not a living person, just a corpse. What qualifications do outsiders have? You can't say that they are cruel and inhumane..."
After hearing this, Shen Tang stood still and looked at the three severely rotted and mutilated corpses at his feet. He was stunned for a long time and could not recover. After a long while——
She said: "That's right, Guan Yiwu said, 'If you have a solid warehouse, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.' But these people should not say, 'A solid warehouse will have enough food and clothing.'" Their five internal organs The temples are empty, and a few members of the family can’t even afford to wear clothes. How can we talk about etiquette, honor, and disgrace?”
In this case, wouldn’t it be the greatest thing to use etiquette, honor, disgrace, and ethics to comment on their behavior? arrogant?
Seeing that something was wrong with Shen Tang's expression, Zhai Le raised his hand and pushed her arm, trying to shake Shen Tang awake as if she was trapped in a nightmare.
Shen Tang took a deep breath, waved his hands and said: "I'm fine."
"Brother Shen, how to deal with them? All..."
Zhai Le looked at the trembling gangsters, Raise your hand, extend your thumb, and make a neat horizontal stroke on your neck.
When several of the gangsters saw this scene, they vaguely guessed their fate, and knelt down with a thump, banging their heads on the ground with a thud that made people feel phantom pain in their skulls. He was so panicked that his two legs trembled, with tears and runny nose running down his face: "Hero, please spare your life!"
There are also those who do not believe in evil, such as the strong man at the head.
He didn't think that Shen and Tang had the courage to kill him knowing that his backer was the second master of the bandit nest. As for Shen Tang's choice of the bandit nest, he didn't think that the two of them could do it.
He knew how big the bandit den was.
Shen Tang said: "I want to kill them."
Zhai Le raised his hand and formed a knife. As soon as Shen Tang gave the order, he raised the knife and chopped up these gangsters. Cutting vegetables.
Shen Tang added: "But it would be a pity to kill them all."
Zhai Le: "What a pity?"
Shen Tang sneered: "What else can you do while alive? After death, you can only bury yourself in the fertile soil. However, I feel uncomfortable letting this group of people live. Xiaofang, How are you going to deal with it?"
Zhai Le: "Kill him, but you can't take him with you."
It's not only the two of them who offended this gang of gangsters today, but also the white-haired old man who stood up, and those watching the fun The spectators were barely included. This time, the two of them were fine when the tiger returned to the mountain, but those ordinary people suffered.
Shen Tang said: "You said... take it with you? How to take it with you?"
Zhai Le had other understandings.
Surprised: "Brother Shen, are you going to recruit them?"
Kill them everywhere and bury them all, and the cost is almost zero, but recruiting them is different, it is a huge trouble.
Shen Tang: "..."
When did she say that? ? ?
Zhai Le looked embarrassed: "I'm not deliberately poking Brother Shen's pain, but one person has one mouth. There are twenty or thirty people here, that means twenty or thirty mouths. How much are the daily expenses? Even if Brother Shen is kind enough to recruit them, they Are you willing to be loyal? "
Brother Shen himself is extremely poor.
You are so poor that you have to sell your liquor as a pawn!
What can be done to recruit and support these gangsters?
Shen Tang is still confused.
She didn't know how the topic jumped to the point of recruiting gangsters. She just followed Zhai Le's topic and was curious about how to "take it with him."
"You, wait, let me think about it again."
Before he could figure out the reason, the strong man at the head sneered and spat, saying: "You want me to do this for you." The pretty boy is working hard and dreaming! When Brother finds out, all of you will——"
Poof——
|ω｀) I was so busy chatting with Tanzi that I forgot about the update.
PS: I feel that there is no need to worry about Qi Shashan.
