Chapter 790 Sad reminder of the control group(1/2)
Xu Zongsheng frowned even more, and he always felt something was wrong with Taohua Village.
He is the head of the Xu family generation, and his abilities are naturally outstanding. Otherwise, he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the family. He didn't feel anything else when he was outside the village, but after entering the village, he felt that everything was inappropriate, but if he really wanted to say something was wrong, he couldn't say it.
After hearing his daughter's words, he pondered for a moment and said, "There is something wrong here, be careful."
However, Xu Guifen said indifferently: "Dad, look at what you said, what's wrong here? I have lived here for seven years. Who are there in Taohua Village? No one knows better than me. They are all untouchables. If they are hit by this Soul-Snatching Sphere, they will be scattered and will never be reborn. What are you worried about?"
What Xu Guifen said is not without reason, but Xu Zongsheng still felt that it was a bit inappropriate. He was cautious. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's okay to be careful. It's always good to pay more attention. If you capsize in the gutter, you will laugh out loud."
Seeing Xu Zongsheng so cautious, Xu Guifen felt a little bored, but she didn't say anything, but nodded and agreed to show that she understood.
"Okay, dad, don't worry, I will be careful."
Seeing this, Xu Zongsheng nodded and the father and daughter walked forward side by side.
The guards behind them were holding torches stained with pine oil in their hands. The orange-red fire illuminated the area around them, but it was easier to be shrouded in darkness. The dilapidated huts were hidden in the darkness, and shadows were connected in a panic. At first glance, they looked a bit like the spine of a monster.
The poison of Soul-Devouring Sphere is extremely domineering. As long as you have drunk water, whether it is a human or an animal, it will die immediately. Although the poison is in the well of the Qi family, the groundwater veins in Taohua Village are connected together. This area, including the places where the water veins pass, will be toxic and infected.
The people and beasts in the village should have all died, which makes this originally lively village look like a cemetery.
After walking for a while, Xu Guifen suddenly stopped, and Xu Zongsheng, who was standing next to her, also stopped. He turned his head and looked at Xu Guifen and asked, "Fen'er, why did you stop suddenly?"
Xu Guifen raised his finger and made a swearing move. Seeing this, Xu Zongsheng did not speak anymore.
The torches made a slight crackling sound when they burned. After the sound of their footsteps, the surroundings became quieter. In this deadly silence, they suddenly heard a slight cry coming from the room not far away.
The crying sound was a little hoarse, as if it was because of the long crying, and the crying sound gradually became weaker and finally became as if it would disappear at any time.
Several sons under Xu Zongsheng's knees already had grandchildren, and he was still very familiar with the crying of the children, which clearly belonged to the baby.
There are actually fish that have escaped the net in this village.
Xu Guifen's brows frowned even more. She turned around and looked at the guards behind her and said, "Go and carry that child out."
When the guard heard this, he obeyed the order, and then held the torch into the room where the sound was not far away. In a short while, he carried a baby wrapped in a red swaddle out of it.
The baby hadn't known how long he had cried, and his little face turned red. Perhaps because he was picked up, his crying gradually became smaller. At this time, he was opening his big black eyes and looking at the person holding him curiously.
Even though the guard in black was as hard as iron, the little baby looked at it with these innocent eyes, his heart couldn't help but soften. His movements of holding the child were softer. Although his feet were moving quickly, the child in his arms did not bump at all.
After taking the child back, Xu Guifen reached out to him and said, "Give me the child."
The guard handed the child to Xu Guifen. He thought that Xu Guifen chose to empathize with other children after losing his two sons and wanted to put the maternal love that had nowhere to rest on this child.
However, he did not expect that after Xu Guifen took the child, he spoke, "Get a bucket of water from the well for me."
The guard was stunned for a moment and felt a bad feeling in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey orders, so he could only go into the yard obediently, drew a bucket of water from the well, and then brought it to Xu Guifen.
He had a little hope before, thinking that Xu Guifen would not be so ruthless, but what he didn't expect was that his premonition was right.
Xu Guifen dipped some water with a handkerchief and wanted to send it into the baby's mouth.
There is Soul-Slaying Sphere in this water. This baby looks only two months old at most. How could Xu Guifen be so vicious?
He is still a child!
Seeing Xu Guifen was about to send the veil to the baby's mouth, the guard ignored his identity and said, "Miss, this child is still young, you..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Guifen: "I want you to teach me how to do things?"
After saying this, she directly lie on the well-stained water and stuffed it into the baby's mouth, making her move so fast that she couldn't stop her.
The child didn't know how long he had been hungry. After the handkerchief was stuffed into his mouth, his mouth began to wrap around greedily.
Seeing his eagerness to die, Xu Guifen couldn't help but smile: "The untouchables are indeed untouchables, so they are rushing to seek death..."
After saying this, she was too lazy to continue holding the child and handed it over to the guards behind her, asking them to throw the child aside.
The guard who had just brought the child over his eyes turned red. He endured it and endured it. After all, he couldn't help it. He said angrily: "Miss, he is just a child. Don't you think this is too much?"
The child was only two months old and didn't know anything. Even if the lady had a grudge against the people in Taohua Village, she shouldn't have killed the child with such viciousness.
After Xu Guifen became the Miss Xu again, her whole body became more domineering than before. She seemed to be venting all the grievances of these years, as if the higher the pronunciation, the more she could cover up her incompetence and grievances of those years.
"Xu Liu, you dare to commit the crime. Who gives you the courage? You are just a lowly person who lives in a badminton. You dare to blame me for him. Have you forgotten your identity?"
Xu Liu's body trembled for a moment, and his face turned pale in an instant, but he didn't think he had done something wrong and stubbornly refused to beg for mercy.
Although he is loyal to the Xu family, it does not mean that he does not have his own thoughts, and it is fine if anything else is done. However, what Xu Guifen did really broke through his cognition and bottom line, and Xu Liu felt that he could not accept it.
Seeing that Xu Liu did not kneel down and beg for mercy, Xu Guifen's face slowly became gloomy.
Xu Zongsheng naturally couldn't bear to have his daughter be wronged. To him, Xu Liu was just a watchdog. Now that this dog is disobedient and dares to disobey his master, it would be impossible to keep it.
"Xu Liu, since you dare to disobey, don't blame me for being ruthless. Xu Qi and Xu Ba, pour this bucket of water on Xu Liu. If he can survive, I will forgive him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the guards present changed instantly.
No one knows better than them what is in the well water. No one knows how domineering the poison of Soul Devouring Sphere is. Xu Zongsheng said it well. As long as Xu Liu drank a bucket of water, he would let him go. But who doesn’t know that as long as he drinks Soul Devouring Sphere, no matter how high or low his skills are, he will end up scattering and never reborn.
Although Xu Liu is a guard, he has been with Xu Zongsheng for thirty years. Even if he has no credit, he will work hard. Xu Zongsheng clearly doesn't care about his love for so many years.
Seeing that the two guards who were named did not move, Xu Zongsheng was extremely angry and shouted loudly: "Xu Qi and Xu Ba, why don't you go quickly? Do you want to commit the same as Xu Liu?"
Thinking of Xu Liu's fate, Xu Qi and Xu Ba did not dare to say anything, so he hurried forward and wanted to pour the water in the bucket into Xu Liu.
Xu Liu was not the one who was waiting to die. He knew that if the bucket of water was poured into it, his life would be gone, and he would not even have the chance of reincarnation. He struggled hard, but his fists were hard to beat four hands. He was finally pressed to the ground. Xu Qi cut his arms around, and Xu Ba carried the bucket and was about to pour it into his mouth.
Knowing that he could not escape, Xu Liu shouted angrily: "Xu Zongsheng, Xu Guifen, you two are so crazy, you will definitely be punished by God!"
Xu Zongsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He was just a dying person, so why bother to worry about these things with him?
"Fill me."
After pouring a bucket of water, Xu Liu fell to the ground instantly, and severe pain spread from his internal organs. He was so painful that he trembled all over, but he was unwilling to show a embarrassed look in front of the person who had harmed him. He endured it until he completely lost consciousness.
Xu Zongsheng did not leave with his daughter and others, but stood quietly in the same place, allowing everyone to see Xu Liu's fate.
Although he did not say anything, Xu Liu's tragic situation reminded the other guards that their power of life and death was in the hands of Xu Zongsheng. If he did not want to be scattered and never be reborn, it would be best to obey the orders honestly.
These guards who followed Xu Zongsheng grew up together. Seeing Xu Liu's appearance, everyone could not help but feel sad when they died.
Xu Liu is the most loyal, but because he thinks Xu Guifen is doing something wrong, he ends up like this...
At this moment, the guards thought a lot about Xing, but they didn't dare to say anything because of the Xu family's status and Xu Zongsheng's ruthless methods.
Seeing that Xu Liu was dead, Xu Zongsheng ordered everyone to set off. On the way forward, he kept comforting Xu Guifen, as if Xu Liu's death was just a trivial matter. Seeing this, these guards felt a chill in their hearts, and their loyalty to Xu Zongsheng was reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Xu Zongsheng did not think that these guards could make a difference. In fact, in his mind, these guards were not even humans, so how could they care about them?
"Fen'er, don't feel bad. Dad said that if you have your father to support you, you will never be wronged in the future."
Xu Guifen was so grateful that she gently put her head on Xu Zongsheng's shoulder and said with gratitude: "Dad, my daughter knows that you love me the most."
Xu Zongsheng touched her head, and his voice was a little gentler than before: "Be good, dad loves you the most."
After the group left, Xu Liu's body was slowly swallowed by the ground, but in a few breaths, it disappeared, and the cradle thrown beside him slowly disappeared as he disappeared.
Xu Liu thought he was dead, but he didn't expect that he would open his eyes. The pain on his body had disappeared at some point. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a wooden bed.
Haven't he been killed by the Soul-Slaying Sphere? Why is he here?
Xu Liu didn't know what happened, but the vigilance he had developed over the years still made him turn over and sit up as soon as possible.
"You woke up earlier than I expected."
After hearing this sound, Xu Liu suddenly looked up and saw a middle-aged man in coarse cloth standing not far away.
The man was tall, because he was standing with a light on his back, Xu Liu couldn't see his expression clearly, and only felt that this man was unfathomable and seemed to be an extremely powerful person.
Xu Liu felt that he, who was bound to die, would have nothing to do with the person in front of him.
He did not think deeply about the other person's identity, and turned over with neat moves, and then knelt down for the other person.
"Thank you, sir, I can't repay you for saving my life. As long as you speak, Xu Liu will definitely go through fire and water, and he will never refuse."
This is completely from the heart. Without any reluctance, he had escaped from death. If the other party saves him, he will be his reborn parents, so he will naturally repay the other party.
The man did not make a sound and slowly walked towards Xu Liu, his face exposed to the candlelight.
It was a face that was not handsome, and it seemed to have a little honest look on its face, but those eyes were as deep as an ancient well.
After only one look, Xu Liu lowered his head and did not look any further.
Although he didn't know what happened, the fact that this man was able to remove the poison of the Soul-Devouring Powder had proved his strength.
It is not an exaggeration to respect such a powerful boss.
"You saved yourself, it has nothing to do with me."
The man standing here is naturally Qi Wang. He did not take credit, but told the situation truthfully.
He is not a bloodthirsty person. The scene just now was just a test for this group of people. If they have a little kindness, like Xu Liu, Qi Wang would not kill them.
But unfortunately, this group of people obviously did not have any kindness. No one except Xu Liu extended a helping hand to the baby.
Xu Liu was slightly stunned, and in a flash he thought through the cause and effect - was it all a game?
Qi Wang waved his hand and signaled Xu Liu to stand up. Xu Liu didn't say much, and stood up obediently. He stood by his hands hanging down, with a hint of cramping expression on his face.
Seeing him like this, Qi Wang slowly spoke, "Why be nervous? Since I let you go, I have no intention of doing anything to you. If you want to repay the life-saving grace and exchange it for news, we will be even."
Xu Liu's expression was roused and said quickly: "Sir, don't know what you want to know?"
To be continued...
