Chapter 32: The Wakos
The tassel spear was still nailed diagonally to the ground, and the face-down wolf had been dead for an unknown amount of time, and the blood on the ground was almost exhausted, and the nose was full of annoying fishy smell.
Kohachiro's bravery has long since disappeared, sitting on the stump holding his arms and shaking his lips with fright, his eyes have been staring blankly at the corpse of the widow who keeps kneeling to death, and his whole body is like a small sieve.
Chen Mu was half-squatting next to him and holding Xiao Hachiro's shoulder, his sad face became more and more annoyed, he opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything, his own worldview was still struggling with a wild world, how to comfort the children who killed people in their teens?
Could it be that he should say that this kid did the right thing?
He wanted to say it, he knew it was right, but he couldn't.
Following Wei Balang's gaze to the widow who was kneeling on the ground, Chen Mu was extremely irritable, waved his hand to call Shao Tingda, pointed to the corpse and said, "Throw it in the ditch, look troublesome!" ”
Shao Tingda was very powerful, pulled out the tassel spear and danced in a circle in his hand, inserted it on the ground casually, lifted the widow's leg and walked away two steps before placing it on the side of the road, kicking it over and letting the corpse turn around a few times and turn it under the ridge next to the road. He didn't throw it into the ditch along Chen Muzhen, the ditches on the side of the road are all canals, which are used to irrigate the farmland, but they can't be stained with the bad luck of the corpse.
Let alone...... This corpse is all money, Shao Tingda is willing to let the water blister. When his brother's mind turns, he will take the corpse out of the ground and send it to the guard!
After two more heavy pats on Wei Balang's shoulder, Chen Mu got up and walked two steps behind his back, and then turned around and asked the widow who was kneeling on the ground and being tied up by five flowers: "You said that your name is Qi Zhengyan, five years ago, when my father was still Xiaoqi, you became a fugitive from his command and wanted to go to Zhejiang to join General Qi." Since Mangzi said that you knew him, Chen should know him first. ”
Chen Mu wasn't sure that he had this memory in his head, but Shao Tingda knew this bald and shirtless Chinese speaker, so Chen Mu let go of this way first, and then asked: "What is the name of the fugitive who was with you five years ago, and where did he go?" ”
Qi Zhengyan, who looked like a widow, was tied with his hands and feet, and seemed to be frightened by Wei Balang's previous killing of his accomplices without saying a word, and he couldn't stop kowtowing and breaking his head, at this time, seeing that Chen Muwen seemed to see the hope of life again, he hurriedly swallowed his saliva and replied quickly: "His name is Xie Ping, he died, three years ago in Xinghua Pinghaiwei, he was stabbed to death by the Qi family's army. ”
The big iron bamboo in the mouth of the Japanese should be the wolf of the Qi family's army in the southeast.
The time can be right, five years ago, the Qi family army recruited troops in Zhejiang, and the military salary was generous, and many people in the guard house were fluctuating as fugitives to recruit as soldiers, and Chen Mu remembered this. And the occupation of Pinghaiwei by the Japanese three years ago can also be corroborated with memory.
But here's the problem.
Chen Mu suddenly wanted to laugh, stood in front of Qi Zhengyan and asked condescendingly: "You went to Zhejiang to join the Qi family's army, how did you throw in the radish head and shave your baldness, and finally died at the hands of the Qi family's army." Did you want to be a Japanese from the beginning, so you voted for a Japanese and then you were killed, huh? ”
"Xiaoqi this, it's not as good as a military household to be a widow, where will we defect to the widows, this is true, let me explain!" Qi Zhengyan kowtowed repeatedly, and saw that Chen Mu had no intention of killing him for the time being, so he hurriedly said: "I waited for Qingyuan, day and night, and went out of a lot of hardships before entering Zhejiang, but I met the people who were killed by the Japanese and fled, so I had to run with the crowd, and I was caught up with a few rough men in the countryside who fought with the Japanese in the past. ”
"Full of nonsense, the widow is vicious by nature, and he can still leave you with his life?" Shao Tingda took two steps forward with his sword, rolled up his sleeves and turned to Chen Mu and said, "My brother told me to kill these two widows, the province's intentions are ill-intentioned!" ”
"It's true! They took women captive, got impatient and put them back, but only stole a life, and were laughed at by the villagers all their lives; If the men are old and weak, they will be killed, and when they are strong, they will shave their hair and become a widow like us, and every time they fight, they will throw a knife at our and other positions, and the officers and soldiers only need to receive a reward at the head of the widow, and the people will be killed and have dysentery on weekdays. ”
"I'm waiting to be shaved off, and I know I'm going to die." Speaking of this, Qi Zhengyan's voice was slightly weaker, and he glanced up at Chen Mu before he said weakly: "Just rely on the situation, you can survive for a few days......"
No one has ever said these things to Chen Mu, and now he is not in a hurry, he sat on the side of the road and nodded: "Later, continue to say." ”
Later, later, later the Japanese invaders were all over the country, plundered gold, silver and grain, heard that the imperial army was coming, so they taught the Japanese to scatter the utensils with the coastal people, changed them into silk, and robbed the ships to return to their own countries, and some people were driven away on the shore, and we knew some martial arts, so we were brought back to Japan to be called slaves. was shaved and barefoot, the same as the country, given knives and guns, taught to jump war, after a year and a half of water and soil uniforms, speaking Japanese words is no different from the real Japanese. ”
Chen Mu interrupted and asked, "What do you call your Japanese robbers in Japan?" ”
Qi Zhengyan was stunned for a moment before he continued: "Some people call it the Tango Pirates, and some people say that it is the Qiyin Water Army, and the leader is called the Japanese ......."
Chen Mu waved his hand, he was not interested in listening to it anymore, what Danhou Pirates Qi Yin Water Army were all small characters he had never heard of, and it didn't matter. Standing up and moving his muscles and bones, he first pointed to the two Ming people, and then pointed to the corpses under the ridges, and said, "Your name is Qi Zhengyan, and you are a fugitive; His name is Long Junxiong, a Fujian Haimin; The one who died was the real Wa, the people of the Wa Kingdom, he could bring Chen Mu thirty taels of silver - the two of you, one tael of silver is not worth it, give Chen a certain one, and the reason not to kill you. ”
From the widow, is it pitiful? Wretched.
But should they be killed? Damn it!
Qi Zhengyan thought that Chen Mu was already willing to let them go, but he couldn't imagine that he would still kill them in the end, so he hurriedly said: "We were forced to be helpless, so we specially ran back to Xiaoqi......
"Don't talk about those useless, you came back because General Qi won a big victory in the southeast and drove him here. Chen Mu's face was very calm, there was a difference between killing or not killing, but if he didn't kill, he would have to take the responsibility of restraining them, it was nothing more than the price, "What will you do, what can you bring to Chen?" ”
Besides, harboring the Wokos? Chen Mu didn't have this plan.
"I can jump in battle, make a sword, I have studied for four years, I can speak Japanese, and I can kill people for Xiaoqi! Toshio has been in Japan for six years, and he can also jump into the war and sail a boat! Xiaoqi left me two lives, I can wait to be a cow or a horse, don't kill it! ”
Chen Mu raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and was about to make a decision, when Shi Qi stepped forward and said to Chen Mu: "Xiaoqi, take a step to speak." ”
When the two servants were worried, they didn't know what Shi Qi said on the side, and when Chen Mu came again, he waved to Shao Tingda and said, "Mangzi shaved their heads and kept them!" ”
