The light of the sun shone on the fields, steaming hot, and the young man wantonly shouted and humiliated the Wangjia village opposite, and then burst into laughter.

At this time, Xie Yan ran out of the entrance of the village, he drank wine, his face was full of blood, his eyes were a little straight, and he ran over and shouted loudly: "Kill it!" Not one is allowed to stay! There is only one man left who is not a hero of the Xie family! You go with me, kill all those dogs, and don't leave any of them. ”

The morale of the young people was mobilized by him, and they responded loudly, and some people praised the squint eyes It is really a righteous man, Xie Yan was even more excited, his bare and emaciated upper body, green tendons and strips appeared, and the hook and sickle more than four feet long in his hand swirled faster in mid-air.

Everyone was excited, but no one took Xie Yan's words seriously, not that they didn't dare to fight with him, but without the permission of the elders in the clan, no one dared to act privately.

In this way, Xie Yan was left alone to yell and scream for a long time, and everyone just echoed loudly, so angry that Xie Yan pointed at them and scolded them.

"Who's the seed?" A young man was not happy, "The patriarch told him not to act rashly, why are you drunk?" Do you dare to listen? ”

"Coward."

Xie Yan was about to continue scolding, when suddenly the drums in the village sounded fiercely again, making the big guys look at each other, and I don't know who shouted, and a group of people ran towards the village.

The entire Xiejia Village was boiling, and the tide of people was endless, rushing towards the ancestral hall in chaos. The number of people has become more than in the morning, and the surname Xie and those people from other villages, long-term and short-term workers, etc., are almost in a hurry, and their popularity is also more irritable, and they have the momentum of not stepping on Wangjia Village.

The birds in the trees fluttered their wings in fright, the dogs scurried in fright, and the second drum beat sounded faintly in the deep tense atmosphere.

Rumble! It was like a thunderbolt in the flatland, and the people who arrived were completely enraged and yelled wildly.

Many women stood quietly in the side hall of the ancestral hall, some sighing. Some wept, some trembled with anger, and in front of them was the body of Ying Fang's daughter-in-law who jumped into a well and died. Her body was bigger than usual, her hair was scattered and hardened by the sludge, her face was blurry and full of scars, her eyes were open and closed, and what was especially terrifying was her big belly, her mouth open and her snow-white teeth were exposed, and she looked miserable and unblind.

The men were furious, and soon the drum beat of the third pass. The patriarch and the chief of the village, the elders of the clan, the landlords and squires and other heads and faces all appeared on the stage.

The eyes of the big guy were focused on the person who was following the patriarch, it was Xie Qibo, the steward of the ancestral hall, and he saw that his expression was extremely angry and extremely miserable, and one hand was bleeding uncontrollably.

The atmosphere, which had gradually reached the critical point, exploded with such ferocity that even the mildest men were furious.

The patriarch also swept away his former calmness, and said angrily: "Look, the seventh went over to deliver the book. The people of Wangjia Village not only did not admit their mistakes, but tore up the book, and said that the women in our village are only worthy of being prostitutes. What's the point of having a good time? Is this human talk? The seventh was very angry at that time, and when they debated with them, they actually cut off all five of the seven fingers. ”

"Kill it!" A furious Xie Yan interrupted the patriarch's words and shouted desperately.

"Kill it! Kill the fucking one clean! Kill! "The people who were boiling to the extreme finally couldn't bear it anymore.

At this time. The half-white patriarch did not look like an old man at all, reproducing the majesty and majesty of his youth when he fought Tartars, and his eyes flashed with fire. With his hands on his waist, his voice was deep and loud.

"Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated, we can't help but fight to the death! All the men obey my orders, and those who are in charge of guarding the fort and training tonight must be more careful, and I have my own plan for coming here on the fourth watch. Go ahead and get your guys ready. ”

When the patriarch was young, he had accumulated merit as a hundred households, and killed many Tartars with his own hands, followed by Xu Da, the first general in the world at that time, and commanded the battle without a defeat, so his prestige was unmatched in Xiejia Village, and everyone in Xiejia Village practiced martial arts.

The order to fight was finally given, and the boiling atmosphere suddenly took a sharp turn, and the furious people had been trained for many years, and their literacy was almost the same as that of soldiers.

The patriarch and the elders looked stern, they knew that this battle was not easy to fight, and the surname Wang was the largest clan in the local area, and there were many people, so they were arrogant and domineering. However, Wangjia Village rarely provokes a slightly smaller number of people, but it is no less than Xiejia Village surnamed Wang, but I didn't expect this day to finally come.

Looking at Lao Qi, who lost his five fingers, obviously this feud cannot be solved, if it is only the death of Ying Fang's daughter-in-law, he can order Wang Gui to pay for his life through the Guò County Ya, but Lao Qi represents the face of the entire Xie family, if he does not return a tooth for a tooth, the surname Xie will not have to be a person from now on.

The patriarch felt unreasonable about the Wang family over there, and didn't understand why he was so unreasonable? Probably because of the recent fight for water, it is said that there have been several armed fights between the people of Wangjia Village and several nearby villages, resulting in some deaths and injuries.

They were unwilling to listen to Xu Sanye's mediation and arrangement, but Xie Jiacun was very dissatisfied with the Xu family's worship of the gods, and they were often dissatisfied with this.

The patriarch who led the soldiers knew very well the severity of this matter, death and injury were inevitable, and innocent people would be affected, and the government would not care about it afterwards.

The patriarch thought for a long time, and explained almost to his son unhurriedly, and the two sons took the order and left.

The richest second child of the Xie family, the patriarch's younger brother, also said to his son, "You also go and fetch two thousand taels of silver and carry it out." ”

The patriarch and everyone were surprised, how could the stingy second child be abnormal? The patriarch said, "Why bother? I do things by myself. ”

"Brother, don't say it." Xie Lao Er looked at the seventh brother's severed hand, "I feel sorry for the silver, and no one will borrow money, but the seventh brother is my brother, and it is a matter of great enmity for our whole clan. ”

"Good!" The patriarch was in high spirits, "The Xie family has no bad seeds, and the bad seeds are not worthy of being born in the Xie family!" ”

That night, because they were worried that Wangjia Village would attack first when they learned about it, the patriarch and others patrolled around and reminded the men to be on guard.

In the early morning of the next day, the slight glow of Shuxing has not been extinguished, and there are swords and guns in front of the ancestral hall, and there is a solemn atmosphere.

The patriarch sat on a large tiger skin chair in the center of the stage. The older generation sat on both sides like goose wings, and everyone was expressionless. Under the platform, there are four or five boxes full of dazzling white flowers, which are the silver used for settling in and the aftermath.

At this juncture, no one cares about personal safety, in case someone is unlucky enough to be killed, according to the rules of the village, parents and children will be properly taken care of by the clan, and no one has the slightest doubt about this, which is also the cohesion of the Xie family's thousand-year-old clan. Otherwise, it would have been torn apart long ago.

The patriarch didn't say anything, and directly read the team number during the exercises of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, and issued the order, and someone waved the flag with white cloth and red edges, and slowly shook it.

No one in the vicinity would have thought that Xiejia Village would make a big move, and the means of counterattack would be so reckless, it was completely a matter of not fighting, and the spirit of the village would be destroyed if it was hit.

A team of thirty people from the village set out. The women waited anxiously, but no one dared to say anything, nor did they dare to run to the entrance of the village to look.

The patriarch and other elders seem to be calm, but in fact, everyone's hearts are very nervous. The last time the whole village was mobilized to fight, I vaguely remember that it was a matter of Hongwu for ten years, and the reason was similar to this incident, anyway, the fourth, fifth, and sixth members of the patriarch's family were all dead.

Of course, that battle brought out the prestige of the Xie clan. For so many years, no one dared to come to Dase, and Wangjiacun actually forgot about it.

In front of the ancestral hall. Before the wine that the patriarch had prepared for the victory and triumph had cooled, two villagers hurriedly walked in carrying Xie Yan, and the women covered their mouths with panicked expressions.

Xie Yan should be in the team responsible for the response, today he is extremely passionate and brave, and he wants to be the vanguard of the first team, before leaving, his face is full of the spirit of not avenging this and swearing to return, holding his extremely sharp hook sickle.

This hooked sickle is famous, and his grandfather used it to cut the legs of more than a dozen Tartar horses, and was later killed in the battle to recover the capital of Yuan.

His father inherited Xiaoqi's official position, and a few years ago he was executed for killing his boss while drunk, and his military position was also abolished, and Xie Yan's family has been in a slump since then.

No one knew that Xie Yan blamed the misfortune of the family on the woman in Wangjia Village, thinking that it was her curse that led to the death of her father, so he hid the idea of revenge in his heart.

At this moment, Xie Yan was lying on the wooden frame, his eyes closed, he had lost his previous appearance, panting with difficulty, most of his yellowish teeth were exposed outside his miserable white lips, his legs were straight, the famous hook and sickle was no longer in his hand, a pair of arms hung down weakly, and bright red blood kept flowing from his ribs, dripping densely on the ground, shocking.

Wangjiacun was really prepared, and although the patriarch was experienced in a hundred battles when he was young, he couldn't help but panic a little at the moment, and asked, "Isn't the form good?" ”

"Very good, very good!" The two villagers excitedly replied in unison, "Everyone is brave, and the team that responds has also played a miraculous role, attracting the main force of Wangjia Village to the past and falling into our ambush." Squint was the first to enter the village, but he ran too fast and forgot the rules of the drill, and one person exchanged hands with more than a dozen people on the other side, killing the enemy with their heads and rats. Alas, I didn't want him to catch up, so I fell into an ambush hiding in the alley and was shot in the ribs. ”

"Hmm." The patriarch frowned and walked around Xie Yan's side.

Lang Zhong in the village touched Xie Yan's nose and chest with his fingernail-long hand, checked his pulse, hesitated for a moment, took out a handful of dried herbs, and stuffed them into the wound.

Xie Yan, who was lying stiff, shook and breathed very hard, and the second child frowned and asked, "Isn't it?" ”

Lang Zhong said: "He is young and strong, and when he is brought back, stop the bleeding first, and see if he can survive it." ”

"It's fighting, it's fighting." The women suddenly shouted loudly.

"Shut up!" The patriarch's eyes were fierce, and the women were so frightened that they quickly covered their mouths one by one.

The chaotic shouts of killing and the sound of iron weapons clashing kept drifting over, and the patriarch calmly listened to judge the form of the battlefield.

Instead of taking command himself, he gave command to his two sons as a way to establish the prestige of the future patriarch.

If he loses this time, he glanced at the second brother who was slightly nervous, and secretly said that it was true that he was fighting the tiger brothers, and the nephews were all in front, but the position of the future patriarch was afraid that he would have to hand it over.
