Chapter 4: Villain Quartz
4
I have to say that even God is helping Li Zixiao tonight, and after nightfall, the moon is obscured by clouds, so that the sky and the earth are shrouded in darkness.
Although it doesn't reach the point where you can't see your fingers, you can't see things too far.
Moreover, the poor people in the late Ming Dynasty were basically malnourished, and many of them had night blindness, and they could not see anything clearly at night.
Under such circumstances, the people in Zhuangzi could not have imagined that there was a group of bandits planning to attack Liujiazhuang at night.
Li Zixiao took more than 20 young and middle-aged men and walked out of the ditch far away from Liujiazhuang silently, led by Li Zixiao himself, led one by one, lined up in a long line, and silently touched towards Liujiazhuang.
What Li Zixiao couldn't have imagined was that most of the people under him also had symptoms of night blindness, as long as he took the lead himself.
He didn't have symptoms of night blindness, and now Li Zixiao knew that it was really a bit difficult for them to sneak attack at night.
In the end, Li Zixiao had to come up with the stupidest way, let them line up one by one, and the people in the back held the sleeves of the people in front of them, and he led them one by one, so that they could act at night and not get lost.
At this time, everyone in the whole team, including Li Zixiao himself, also felt both excited and a little nervous.
The reason why they were excited was because what they were going to do tonight was something they hadn't even dared to think about, let alone do something big.
They were only about two dozen people, and they were going to attack a Zhuangzi that hundreds of bandits had not been able to capture.
If they get away with it, they won't have to worry about going hungry for a long time afterward, and they may even be able to grab a lot of money.
What made them nervous was that they were too bold to do so, and although there were not many Zhuang in the Zhuangzi who were in charge of security, they still far outnumbered them.
Moreover, there are hundreds of tenants in Zhuangzi, they are all tenants of Liu Laocai, and if this group of people is organized, it will be a terrible enemy.
If there is a slight deviation in the action tonight, then the fate that awaits each of them will be very miserable, and the treatment of bandits in these years is very cruel.
But they have no choice at the moment, because their big boss Li Zixiao has decided to fight here, they can choose to leave, but they have no way to live after leaving.
Although everyone is a little afraid, when they see that Li Zixiao's big boss is on the field in person, what else do they have to care about.
In these days, the lives of poor people like them are really worthless, and the number of poor people who starve to death on the roadside every day cannot be counted, and if they leave, sooner or later they will die.
In the end, they all chose to stay and do this vote, and they all held the idea of 'people hanging to the sky and not dying for thousands of years', and they quietly approached Liujiazhuang under the cover of night.
Dong Zhuang was very familiar with this area, and took Li Zixiao and others to the remote route that was most difficult to be discovered by Zhuang Ding on the earthen wall of Liujiazhuang, and soon arrived at the reserved location.
At this time, Dong Zhuang walked up to Li Zixiao and said, "Big boss, I'll send a signal to let my brother know that we have arrived." ”
"Yes. Be careful. ”
At this time, Li Zixiao and the others, under the leadership of Dong Zhuang, went around to a small dirt bag on the northeast side of Liujiazhuang, and they couldn't continue to get closer.
Because there are several oil lamps on the earthen wall of Liujiazhuang Zhuangmen, although the light is very dim, but more than 20 of them are close to the Zhuangmen, and such a big movement can still be seen clearly.
Now Li Zixiao pins all his hopes on Dong Zhuo, as long as he can really let his brothers in the village turn against the water and open the door of the village for them, then tonight's action will be half.
Meow Meow ......
Dong Zhuang didn't dare to get too close to Zhuangmen, he crawled on the ground and slowly crawled towards Zhuangmen, and at a distance of thirty or forty meters from Zhuangmen, he pinched his nose and learned a few cat meows, which was a signal that he had discussed with Quartz.
"It's a miracle that there are wild cats outside on this big night, why haven't they been caught and eaten by those poor ghosts outside!" Leaning against the earthen wall of the village gate, Zhang Tao, who was even in a daze, heard the cat's meow from outside, and whispered to himself.
And the tall man Quartz, who was standing not far from him, heard these cat meows at this time, and suddenly an ugly smile appeared on Mu Na's hideous face, and a trace of fierce light flashed in his dim eyes, like a sleeping tiger waking up.
He turned his head to look outside the village, and saw Dong Zhuang waving his arms at him, and after seeing this scene, Quartz directly lifted his dark spear and walked towards Zhang Tao, who was snoring.
"En......, stupid big man, why don't you stand guard, stand in front of me, scare me, hurry back to your position, stand guard, otherwise tomorrow's breakfast will not be yours."
Zhang Tao was woken up by the movement of Quartz coming over, startled, and when he saw that Quartz was standing in front of him, he was in a bad mood and said threateningly.
"Hey, hey!"
Quartz stood motionless in front of Zhang Tao, but an ugly smile appeared on the ugly and hideous ugly face, and he smiled at Zhang Tao.
Quartz's smile, especially the backdrop of the night, was really scary like a ghost, and directly lost the last bit of sleepiness of Zhang Tao.
"Hey, stupid big one, you...... What are you doing? ”
Zhang Tao looked at the quartz at this time and the usual Mu Na, honest, no matter how much he bullied the stupid big man who didn't say a word, that pair of eyes seemed to be about to eat people, was frightened, and said in a trembling voice.
On weekdays, Quartz is really very honest in the village, he rarely talks to others except Dong Zhuang, although he eats a lot, but almost all the heavy work in the village is done by him.
Coupled with his extremely ugly face, no one really wants to get too close to him, causing everyone's disgust and bullying him from time to time.
But Dong Zhuang was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he kept telling him to endure it, otherwise he would be expelled.
For his brother and sister-in-law, as well as the lovely little niece's family, can live in the village, Quartz listens to Dong Zhuang's words, works hard, eats less and does more, and never complains.
However, when he left Liujiazhuang with a convoy that went out to buy goods, Dong Zhuang was expelled from Liujiazhuang because he offended Steward Han.
When Quartz returned to the village, Dong Zhuang's family had been driven out of Zhuangzi for more than half a month, and Quartz began to frantically look for Dong Zhuang, but did not find Dong Zhuang, but learned from some beggars that Dong Zhuang's family had all starved to death.
At that time, Quartz was really crazy, he felt that his chest was about to explode, and there was a fierce tiger lurking in his body, and he wanted to rush out and eat people at this time.
He remembered that Dong Zhuang, his sister-in-law had been good to her since she was a child, and that cute little niece, who did not dislike his ugly uncle, and liked to ride on his neck to play every day.
His three closest relatives in the world were gone, never to be seen again, and from that day on, the honest quartz died.
At that time, Quartz had only one thought in his heart, and that was to take revenge, kill Steward Han, and avenge his eldest brother's family.
However, that Steward Han seemed to be wary of Quartz as soon as he returned to the village, and it was obvious that Steward Han also knew the relationship between Quartz and Dong Zhuang's family, and was afraid that Quartz would retaliate.
In fact, Steward Han also wanted to drive Quartz away, but he was persuaded by several family members, asking them to observe and observe secretly, and if they found that Quartz was really out of line, they would drive him away when the time came.
The reason why those family members protected the quartz was not out of good intentions, they were worried that Steward Han would drive the quartz away, and no one would do all the dirty work and tiring work in the village for them in the future.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
In this way, Quartz was able to continue to stay in Liujiazhuang, don't look at Quartz looking stupid and Mu Na's appearance, in fact, he was very careful, and knew that Steward Han had been on guard against him at this time, and it was not the time to start.
All of that continued, as usual, what he had to do, even more honestly, harder than before, and even fearful of everyone.
It was to dispel Steward Han's vigilance, so that he could slowly find an opportunity to make a move.
Soon, Steward Han did quickly dispel his original worries because of Quartz's performance, and no longer mentioned the issue of driving Quartz out of the village.
And at that time, Quartz also began to prepare for revenge on Steward Han.
Just when Quartz had figured out some of the rules of Steward Han's life and was about to start, Dong Zhuang, who was rescued by Wang Zirui Cottage, came back to him secretly.
When he saw the eldest brother he missed reappearing in front of him, Quartz cried like a child.
Next, Dong Zhuang talked to Quartz about letting him act as an inside line and open the door of the village for Wang Zirui's bandits, and Quartz immediately agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Quartz has no feelings for everyone in the village except for Dong Zhuang's family, although Dong Zhuang did not die, so his beloved sister-in-law died, and his lovely little niece also died.
He still wants to avenge this revenge, but he just listened to Dong Zhuang's words and changed his ways.
At this time, Quartz looked at Zhang Tao, who was leaning against the wall and looking at him with a fearful expression, an ugly grin on his ugly face, his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty killing intent, and the spear in his hand instantly stabbed out, steadily and fiercely into Zhang Tao's chest.
The spear that was poured into the huge force of quartz easily stabbed into Zhang Tao's chest, without the slightest hindrance, the spear pierced Zhang Tao's chest, splashing a stream of bloody arrows, splashing on the face of the ugly man Quartz, making him look even more hideous.
"You...... You ......"
Zhang Tao was suddenly stabbed into his chest with a spear that took away all his life, he felt that all his strength was slowly dissipating, and he looked at the quartz in front of him in disbelief.
He raised his hand with difficulty, pointed at the quartz, and wanted to speak, but because of the large amount of blood foaming out of his mouth, he couldn't speak clearly.
Seeing Zhang Tao die, Quartz's ugly face did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation, and he walked down the stairs of the earthen wall with a black spear.
There are mainly five people in charge of standing guard at the village gate late at night in Liujiazhuang, two on the earthen wall, and three near the village gate under the earth wall.
