Chapter 8 The Man Who Is Not Afraid of Death
"I am the county commander of the Han Dynasty, although my official position is humble, but after all, I am the court official of the Han Dynasty. It's not a pawn under your Huns' account, although this official was accidentally taken by you for a while. But the official authority of the Han cannot be lost, and the integrity of the Han cannot be lost. You want me to open the treasury for you, in the next life! ”
When the county magistrate saw Amu and the others eating dog meat, the expression on his face was full of contempt. Barbarians are barbarians, and they can't even use chopsticks.
"You, say, so much, nonsense. If you don't open the treasury, I'll kill you. Amu pulled out the mountain knife that was cut on the bookcase, and stared at the county order.
"People are here, and now they will kill or chop you up. But I want the official to open the treasury for you, dreaming! Although this county order was accidentally exploited by the Huns for a while, the national righteousness has not been lost for the official integrity.
"You ......" Amu picked up the knife and walked towards the county order step by step. He wanted to see if this Han man was really not afraid or was holding on to it.
The knife light burst out with blood, and the county order covered his left hand with an "ah". Drops of blood "ticked" and "ticked" on the ground, and there were four more fingers on the bluestone-paved ground.
"Open, treasury, or cut off thy hand, one by one, and one by one." Amu stared at the eyes of the county commander, hoping to see fear and submission inside.
"Life is difficult, only death, this official is not even afraid of death, what are you afraid of." The county commander held his bloody hand, and his face turned from pale to sallow. A fine layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"You, really. Don't be afraid? Amu was amazed at the strength of the person in front of him, and he met many Han people. But in the face of the butcher's knife, there is no such person. He didn't believe that there were people in this world who were not afraid of death, but the person in front of him seemed to be really not afraid of death.
"Huh" Kaishan Dadao slashed at the county order with the sound of the wind, and the county order just closed his eyes leisurely. It seems to be waiting for death to come. The Kaishan knife stopped at the neck of the prefectural order, and the blade cut through the skin of the prefectural order. A stream of blood flowed down the blade, and Amu stopped the knife at the critical moment. So that the mountain knife only made a cut in the neck of the county order, and it was not fatal.
He was somewhat convinced now, and the guy in front of him really didn't seem to be afraid of death. Could it be that there are really people in this world who are not afraid of death? This Han county official somewhat subverted Amu's worldview.
He has always thought that the Han people are cowardly. Yellow-bellied. But this Han man in front of him. Let him know that there is also an invincible force among the Han people.
There was a sudden scream of the lady and the cry of the child, and the county magistrate, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were wide, and even the corners of his eyes were a little cracked.
Amu suddenly had a thought, he wanted to see how dignified this Han man was. Turning to Qi Lie, he said, "Houya must have his wife and children living there." Bring it here. Find a few more people to dig a hole in the yard. I'm going to see. Is this Han really not afraid of death? ”
Qi Lie got Amu's order. With two Hun men, he ran to the back house. Not long after, Qi Lie returned with several Hun men. The two Hun men each held a doll in front of them, one of whom was about four or five years old. The other one is larger. About seven or eight years old.
Qi Lie's hand grasped a Han woman in tattered clothes, who looked very iconic. Looking like he is in his twenties, although his figure is not plump, he is better than fair skin. Such women will not be brought back to the grassland, because they will not be able to experience the wind and snow of the grassland.
Most of the time they are humiliated and then killed as playthings. There is no need for people to eat idle meals on the steppe, and the Huns are more pragmatic for women.
When the unclothed woman saw the county order, she screamed and was about to pounce. But she was slammed to the ground by Qi Lie, and she couldn't move by stepping on her hair with her feet. The woman struggled violently, and with each struggle, a strand of bloody hair was torn off.
"Let her go!" The county commander roared angrily, and his already pale face was as red as Guan Gong.
"Let her go." Amu waved his hand at Qi Lie, and Qi Lie raised his foot. The woman rushed to the prefectural magistrate like a frightened cat, nestled in the prefectural magistrate's arms and cried "whining".
The two children were already stupid with fright, like little beasts, and their two little hands scratched in the void and cried hoarsely.
"You, yes, kid?" Amu pointed to the two children and said.
"Humph! If you want to kill or come at me, don't you have children? Beast! ”
Amu didn't know what a beast meant, but he knew it wasn't a good thing to look at the appearance of this county order. However, he did not scold the prefectural order, but just sat back on the chair of the prefectural order. Leisurely closing his eyes, he had time to play the game. He wanted to know if this Han official would be stubborn to the end.
After about a stick of incense, a Hun man walked in and reported: "Master Qianqi, the pit has been dug." It's six feet deep, can you see it? ”
"Well, that's enough! Push these Han people out and throw them in the pit. ”
With a wave of his hand, the Hun man, who was like a wolf and a tiger, pushed the county order family out, and the two adults kicked into the pit one by one. The two dolls were also thrown in, and the husband and wife hurriedly hugged one child each. He raised his head and looked at the people standing by the pit, including Huns and Han Chinese who had been captured to work.
The eyes of the Huns were full of banter, as if they were watching monkeys. And the eyes of the Han people are full of reluctance, this county order is indeed a good official. At least it was much better than the officials who worked for the Huns.
"You, no, open, treasury. Just, will, you, the whole family, be buried alive. Amu's syllables were still very strangely broken, but the words he spoke were so cold and ruthless.
"Hahaha, it's just death. It is better to die for the officials of the Han Dynasty than to live for the villain. Come on, frowning and frowning, the official has taken on the teachings of Mr., and he is not a student of Tsinghua University. ”
"Buried!" Amu looked at the firm eyes of the county commander, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
The Huns next to them immediately urged the captured men to work, and a Han man who was unwilling to bury people struggled a few times. was cut off with a knife, and the blood that came out of his neck spurted high.
The rest of the Han people had tears in their eyes and shovels and shovels of earth were swept downward. The Huns laughed happily, as if it was a very happy thing to see these people in front of them being buried alive.
A spade of soil fell on the body of the county commander, and he turned around and protected the child with his body. The frozen soil in the middle of winter does not hit the child's body, but there is still some floating soil sprinkled on the child's face and obscures the child's eyes.
The four- or five-year-old doll cried and said, "Daddy, Lost Eyes!" ”
"Kid, hold on for a while. I won't be confused for a while. The tears of the prefectural order flowed like a spring. His wife and older children threw their arms around their shoulders and shrugged and sobbed.
"I'm dead! infatuated with retribution, foolish to the enemy; Fight for seven feet for a long time, and no longer worry about it. He did not flee for his life, nor did he surrender to the enemy for the sake of reluctance, and wanted to return to the court with his life, not to cry for his wife.
The family is far away, the road is poor, the body is not iron, and there is only a life. Thunder and rain and dew, it is not the grace of heaven, benevolence and righteousness, died in Shuo County, it is difficult to say that there is no place to die. What a pity? Why complain?
But I, as a Hanchen, have been ordered by the king. Confucius Ziyun: "The way of a gentleman is not to be taken away when the festival is approaching!" With this thought, look up to the sky and hold the earth. The world is forever gone. Laugh, laugh, laugh! What can I do with the sword cutting the east wind? ”
The Han people who filled in the soil threw away their shovels one after another, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to a family of four who were half-buried in the pit. The Hun men wielded the blades in their hands and slashed and killed those who disobeyed.
The pit was finally filled, and the raw earth on the ground was still arching upwards. The Huns threw away their shovels and stepped on them with felt boots. Around the pit were the corpses of dozens of Han Chinese who were reluctant to fill the pit, and the blood stained the unmelted snow red, making it look unusually demonic in the sun.
Suddenly, a spring breeze blew, and the plum slices on the trees fell. Amu looked at the petals floating in the wind and was silent, it turned out that there are really Han people in this world who are not afraid of death. (To be continued......)
