Chapter 22: Let Whom Live

The six thieves rushed up head-on, Liu Wei glanced at Zhou Cang, and whispered very quickly: "As long as you live!" ”

Zhou Cang nodded, and rushed forward with Liu Wei to meet the thief.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the bandit who rushed to the front picked up a single knife and slashed towards the top of Liu Wei's head.

Liu Bian's body twisted, and the thief who raised the knife to slash at the top of his head staggered, just when the thief wanted to stop his steps and pounce on Liu Bian again, a knife light flashed in front of his eyes, and then he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and one hand was actually slashed off by Liu Bian.

Zhou Cang on the other side did not rely on lightness to win like Liu Wei, and rushed to the front of the bandit, he roared, the single knife in his hand turned around, his body was short, and the back of the knife slashed towards the thigh of a bandit.

The steel knife slashed into the thief's thigh with a strong wind, and Liu Wei, who was a few steps away, even heard the crisp sound of the thief's leg bone splitting.

The leg bones were broken violently, and the bandit couldn't bear the pain in his heart, so he howled miserably, and rolled to the ground with his hands on his thighs.

Before the villagers who were running towards this side rushed closer, Liu Wei and Zhou Cang had already subdued the six bandits.

The bandit who had his wrist cut off by Liu Wei endured the pain in his heart and staggered towards the mountains and forests not far away.

Zhou Canghe and the villagers who had already rushed to the front were about to chase after him, but Liu Wei opened his hands and stopped everyone, saying to everyone: "He can't run." ”

Before he could finish his words, the woods where the bandits had run were lit up with a fire that was beating at more than ten o'clock.

More than a dozen flaming arrows streaked through the night like meteors, drawing tails with brilliant lights and shadows in the night, and flew towards the bandit.

The raging bandit was startled by the rockets that suddenly flew towards him, and he was so stunned that he forgot to dodge and was shot right by the oncoming arrows.

The arrows were all villagers with rich hunting experience, and the escaped bandits were already very close to the mountains and forests, and none of the more than a dozen arrows missed, all of them pierced his body.

Covered with flaming arrows, the bandit fell straight down, looking like a burning bonfire in the night.

The five bandits, who were still alive, stopped rolling, were pushed to the ground by the villagers, and tied up with ropes.

"Sir, what are you going to do with these people?" After tying up the bandits, a villager asked Liu a question.

"Let Tao Hu and them come over." Glancing at the bandits who were tied up, Liu Wei explained to the villagers who asked him.

The villager answered, and quickly ran towards the mountain forest where Tao Hu and the others were hiding, and when he was about to run to the corpse that was still burning with sparkling, he stopped, waved his arms and shouted into the jungle: "Tao Hu, Mr. let you come." ”

In the open mountains, as long as someone shouts, the sound can be heard far away. Tao Hu and the others saw someone running towards them, and once again put the arrow on the bowstring, and when they heard the words of the villagers who ran to them, they put down the bow and arrow and walked out of the mountain forest.

When Tao Hu and the others arrived, Liu Wei asked the five thieves who had lost the strength to scream in pain, but couldn't stop snorting, to help them up and make them kneel on the ground.

"Kill them." Holding a bloodstained single knife in his hand, Liu Wei turned his back to the villagers and dropped a sentence lightly.

All the villagers looked at him in amazement, and no one stepped forward to attack the bandits. In the face of living people, most of them could not lift the firewood knife in their hands and chop down.

"Still not doing it?" The villagers were still standing there in a daze, Liu Wei seemed to be waiting a little impatiently, turned around and frowned slightly, and urged again.

"Sir, they have already ......" Looking at the few thieves who were kneeling on the ground and snorting miserably, a villager said half a sentence in embarrassment, and after seeing Liu Biantieqing's face, the second half of the words were swallowed by him hard.

"Kill a few bandits who are no longer able to fight back, you may think I am cruel." Liu Wei turned around, furrowed his brows and said to the villagers around him: "But have you ever thought that if you let them go, maybe they will bring new bandits, and the village will be unpeaceful!" When they killed Erhan, did they ever have a little softness? Between thieves and loved ones, who will you choose to let die? ”

The men were stunned by Liu Wei's words, everyone clenched the firewood knives in their hands, and two of them even took a step forward towards the bandits.

But they only took one step, allowing them to shoot the bandits from a distance, not seeing the blood splashing, and still being able to do it. But they can cut and kill the living at close range, and these simple villagers really can't lift the butcher's knife.

"You came out today to fight the bandits, but look at what you look like now!" With a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei pursed his lips, and said with a little disdain in his tone: "It seems that I only took Brother Zhou Cang to attack the bandits, which is indeed the right choice." You can't even kill the bandits who are kneeling in front of you and are no longer able to fight back, if you charge with you, it will only be a waste of your lives! ”

The villagers who followed Liu Wei and others here were also bloody men, and they didn't dare to do it, but because they hadn't killed anyone, it was difficult to cross the hurdle in their hearts.

"I'll kill!" The men were still hesitating, Tao Hu held a firewood knife, walked out with his feet raised, and walked straight to the bandit who was kneeling on the ground.

Standing in front of the bandits, Tao Hu held the firewood knife in both hands and held it high, and the muscles on his face trembled nervously.

The words have already been spoken, if this knife is not cut, it will definitely be laughed at by Liu Wei. Tao Hu closed his eyes, roared, and the firewood knife in his hand slammed into the cranial cavity of the thief kneeling in front of him.

The firewood knife was deeply embedded in the thief's skull, and a stream of blood and brains splashed out, splashing onto the placket of Tao Hu's chest, and the rich fishy smell suddenly spread.

A few thieves kneeling on the side saw that Tao Hu had opened the killing ring, knowing that they would die today, and with a hint of luck, they hurriedly howled and shouted for mercy.

Liu Wei didn't speak with a cold face, his eyes just roamed over the villagers, and when Tao Hu pulled out the firewood knife from the head of the slashed bandit, he said coldly: "Didn't anyone else dare to do it?" ”

The bloody stimulation, coupled with Liu Wei's pressing step by step, the villagers gathered in front of the four bandits only felt that their hearts were about to be suppressed and exploded.

"Kill!" Finally, the second villager after Tao Hu went crazy, he picked up his firewood knife and slashed at a bandit who was still shouting and begging Liu Wei to spare his life.

Madness can sometimes infect the people around him like an infectious disease, Liu Wei's urging made the bottom line of this group of men's hearts unwilling to kill completely collapsed, and when the second villager swung a knife and slashed at the bandits, everyone raised the firewood knife in their hands.

Watching the villagers slash at the four thieves who had been hacked to death like crazy, even though Liu Wei had seen countless blood, he couldn't help but turn his head to the side, and squeezed his eyes twice with palpitations.

It's brutal! A group of people who were originally reluctant to kill, once they raised their butcher knives, the scene was bloody, and even he, a veteran with blood on his hands, couldn't bear to look at it more.

"Dig some pits and bury the bodies. Bury the corpse and bring back the grass and horses! Finally, the villagers were tired of chopping, and Liu Wei glanced at the puddles of minced meat on the ground that had been cut and could no longer distinguish what they were, and beckoned to everyone.

Killing people in the mountains, even if the corpse is not buried, wild wolves and jackals will drag the corpse away and eat it. The reason why Liu Wei asked the villagers to dig pits and bury their bodies was precisely because they had just killed someone, and if they didn't find something to distract them, many people would still be psychologically unbearable, and it was very likely that they would leave an indelible shadow in their hearts.

On the way back to the village, except for Liu Wei and Zhou Cang, who occasionally said a few words to each other, even Tao Hu, who talked the most on weekdays, remained silent. All the people had blood on their hands, and although they had already killed people, the strong sense of oppression brought to them by the first killing had not been completely shaken off.

The morning light drove away the dark night, the rising sun hung in the eastern sky, the sun gently caressed the earth, bringing a little warmth to Liu Wei and others, Liu Wei and others who had been tossing in the mountains for almost a night, finally returned to the village entrance when dawn came.

No one came out to greet them, and the whole village seemed to be completely emptied, without even the slightest smell of people.

When they arrived at the open space in the village, Liu Wei raised his hand to stop everyone's advance, and his eyes wandered around the houses in the village. When the villagers who followed him saw his appearance, everyone felt very nervous, and the hands holding the knife couldn't help but clench a little.

Liu Wei's eyes stopped on the pile of dry firewood next to a private house, looking at the pile of dry firewood, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shouted at the pile of dry firewood: "Don't hide, it's us back." The bandits have all been annihilated by us, and no one will come to harm the villagers again! ”

"Yes, the gentleman is back!" Hearing Liu Bian's shout, the three men hiding in the dry firewood exchanged glances with each other, pushed away the dry firewood, and ran towards Liu Bian and the others.

Immediately afterwards, many young men poured out from all corners of the village, and the men cheered and rushed to Liu Bian, and the two people in the front couldn't help but say, stepped forward to lift Liu Bian, and then everyone shouted loudly.

The cries of long live rose higher and higher, and as the cries drifted away, a group of old people, women, and children also ran out of their hideouts at the back of the village, and flocked to Liu Wei and the others.

The men who surrounded and suppressed the bandits with Liu Wei were also surrounded by their respective families to ask questions, and the haze planted in their hearts by the first murder was quickly dispelled, and they also talked to the relatives around them about the process of killing the bandits.

Knowing that Liu Wei and the others had annihilated all the bandits, all the old and young in the village cheered excitedly, and a group of young men lifted Liu Wei high, threw him into the air, and then caught him steadily.

Liu Bian, who was thrown high by the villagers, was very puzzled, and when these villagers expressed their inner joy, they shouted the words "long live".
