Volume 2, Chapter 30: Getting Beaten
From Rongchuan's mouth, he learned that those kidnappers mainly abducted or kidnapped the children of disaster victims, either selling them for money or using them as food to satisfy their hunger.
These extremely vicious people must be eliminated, firstly to eliminate future troubles for their own group, and secondly, to eliminate harm for the people.
Dongming Ziyu did not bring anyone with him. There were officers and soldiers patrolling the city wall to guard against the victims. If there were too many people and the fighting made too much noise, officers and soldiers would be recruited.
But Shuan Zhu was hiding behind a tree at the edge of the woods. When he saw Dongming Ziyu coming, he stuck his head out and greeted in a low voice: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, here!"
Dongming Ziyu strode over and said, "You are here to show off for me, and whistle when officers and soldiers come."
Shuan Zhu took out the hatchet from his waist and said, "I'll help you! There are many of them. Don't worry, my mother is watching. If the city gate opens, she will wake up Dalang and the others and whistle to warn them."
Dongming Ziyu could only nod, "Then be careful, it's important to save your life!"
Shuan Zhu chuckled and said: "Don't worry, fourth brother, my mother is my only relative. Although I am a fool, I do things in a measured way and will not cause death."
What he said was somewhat meaningful, and he should be explaining that he did not kill his employer when he went to grab food.
Dongming Ziyu looked at him deeply, nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and strode into the woods.
Shuan Zhu's legs trembled at his sharp glance, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He hurriedly raised his feet and followed him. He could see that this Dong Youfu was not a thing in the pond, and he would not suffer any loss if he followed him.
He took two steps to catch up and gave directions in a low voice, "They are over there."
Dongming Ziyu saw a dozen people coming out from the depths of the woods. The leader was the gangsters with sly eyebrows.
They also cursed and cursed, "Damn it, I have to chop all those people to death to get rid of this bad breath in my chest."
"That little brat, he knocked out his elder brother and ran away. If he is caught, he must be taught a lesson!"
"That little guy looks good, let me play with him first!"
“Then bake it!”
"Hahaha...uh!"
Seeing someone blocking their way, their voices paused, "Who?!"
Because neither party lit a torch, it was difficult to see each other's face clearly in the dark woods.
Shuan Zhu chuckled and said, "Aren't you going to hack us to death? How can you hack us if you don't even know them?"
Someone in the opponent's camp lit the fire, and in the faint light it could be seen that only Dongming Ziyu and Shuan Zhu were on the opposite side.
The man with the sinister eyebrows and rat eyes who took the lead looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Hahaha, they are bringing us meat to eat! Hahaha... poof!"
His body was split open in the middle, split in two, and fell to the ground.
Shuan Zhu guessed that Dongming Ziyu would strike first, thinking that it would be like last time and just cut off the opponent's head. Unexpectedly, this time it would be even more terrifying.
"Ah!" More than a dozen people on the other side were frightened.
Dongming Ziyu didn't wait for them to react, and he went up with a hatchet. It was like the god of death coming, with murderous intent like a rainbow, unstoppable, and several of them fell down in an instant.
Someone on the other side came to their senses, turned around and ran away with an 'oooh' sound.
Shuan Zhu also came to his senses, brandished a hatchet and rushed forward.
The opponents were also desperadoes and had no shortage of food and drink. Originally, Shuan Zhu could not defeat any of them. But they were frightened by Dongming Ziyu, and in panic, Shuan Zhu killed them.
They were so frightened that they just wanted to run for their lives and beg for mercy.
"Spare us!" Someone knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
How could Dongming Ziyu leave evidence of his murder? He gave him a quick blow with a knife.
After a while, more than a dozen gangsters were eliminated by the two of them.
Shuan Zhu slumped to the ground, gasping for air. Although he had seen many dead bodies on the road and had killed people, more than two hundred people were all together. This was the most dangerous and exciting one.
Dongming Ziyu stabbed him with a hatchet and said, "Get up, dig a hole and bury the person. Also, search their finances, be careful!"
Shuan Zhu held on to the tree and tried to get up, but he had tried too hard and lost all strength, so he sat down again.
At this time, there were footsteps approaching from far away.
Both of them were startled and looked around to decide which direction to run.
"Fourth brother! "Fourth uncle!" "Fourth brother!"
Following the footsteps came the voices of Dong Youliang, Dalang, Zhou Laicai and others calling with their breaths.
Shuan Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered back, "We are here!"
The footsteps of several people quickened, and a dozen figures appeared in the woods.
Dong Youliang saw the intact Dongming Ziyu and scolded him: "Why are you so brave and taking risks by yourself! There are so many people on the other side, what if something happens to him?!
Don’t you know how worried Mom was when she opened her eyes and didn’t see you? When my four siblings told me where you were going, my parents would be so anxious!”
Dongming Ziyu said humbly: "Second brother, I thought it was wrong. It's not appropriate to say more now. Dig a hole quickly and bury these people. Before burying them, search their bodies. They rely on robbing women and children from the victims.
If a child is sold for money, he must have financial resources."
Shuan Zhu said: "We have helped many people on the road, and we have no regrets in taking these ill-gotten gains."
"Yes, yes." Everyone began to work together, digging holes, searching people, moving corpses, burying them, dealing with blood stains, and dealing with blood stains...
Not to mention, a lot of financial items were actually found, including silver, gold, banknotes, jewelry, etc.
Everyone consciously gave the things they found to Dongming Ziyu.
Dongming Ziyu said to Dong Youliang: "You take it and go back to Uncle Chunlei and let him make an account. As soon as daybreak, we will leave here and go to the next town to buy food."
As soon as they heard that they wanted to buy food, everyone got excited.
When they came out of the woods, they saw Mr. Dong, Mr. Qian and some people looking secretly at this side, with anxious looks on their faces.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw a lot of them coming back.
Rong Chuan looked up at Dongming Ziyu with burning eyes, "Uncle, have all those people been removed?"
Dongming Ziyu nodded, "Don't worry, they are all dead."
Rong Chuan breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes were moist, and he choked with sobs: "Thank you so much, uncle!"
Dongming Ziyu rubbed his head with his big hand, "It's okay."
Mr. Qian came up, punched Dongming Ziyu on the back several times, choked with sobs and said harshly: "Show off again! Go on adventures alone again! You deserve a beating! You deserve a beating! You are such a careless thing!"
Dongming Ziyu smiled and accepted, "I know I was wrong, mother. I won't dare to do it next time. I won't do anything I'm not sure about."
Dong Youliang gave Dong Chunlei the tattered clothes containing his finances and whispered what Dong Ming Ziyu said.
Dong Chunlei was so frightened that he went to Dongming Ziyu to discuss: "Don't wait until dawn, let's leave now! What if they have accomplices? We also know to leave someone to look at things.
If the people they left behind don’t go back until they can wait for those people, and if they cause trouble, the officers and soldiers in the county will be alerted!"
