The expression on the village chief's face suddenly became a little panicked. Fortunately, it was not easily seen in the darkness. He quickly calmed down and immediately pointed the finger at Lin Kun, "Boy, don't slander me. You will bring shame to our entire village."
I lost my life, and now you want to frame me again. I am the head of a village, how can I allow you to slander me!"
The other people in the village also gathered around at this time, and the guns originally carried on their backs were pointed at Lin Kun and the three of them.
Without giving Lin Kun a chance to speak, the village chief immediately issued an order, "They are the ones who ruined our family, and now they are slandering me. We have been kind enough and did not attack them when we were in the village. Since they are so ignorant,
Then we will kill them now and avenge our dead relatives!"
With the village chief's encouragement, the angry expressions on everyone's faces turned into a look of violence.
"Don't be impulsive!"
Ah Wu quickly stood in front of Lin Kun and shouted to a group of people and villagers around him.
"Mr. Lin and his friends are the saviors of our whole village. They saved us from Nguyen Thong Agu's dark rule. We cannot be ungrateful and repay kindness with evil. The deaths of people in our village are all caused by Nguyen Thong Agu.
Because we can’t wrongly accuse a good person, let alone forget who saved us.”
"fart!"
The village chief scolded Awu, "I think you are confused. We have lost so many people. If he hadn't insisted on going against Ruan Tong Agu, would our family members have died? Our Qinghe Village would have only
Are these people left now?"
As he spoke, the village chief's old face shed tears sadly, "Our ancestors have lived in the mountains for generations. It is not easy for Qinghe Village to develop to this day. In the end, the foundation of a village lies in its people. Now that there are no people left, what else can we talk about?"
What’s the use?”
The village chief burst into tears, which made everyone around him feel sad. Especially when they thought of their family members who died tragically, they could no longer hold back the tears in their eyes.
"Kill, kill them!"
"Yes, we would rather suffer torture in Nguyen Thong Agu's village than watch our family members die tragically!"
"We will have no home in the future, no more!"
"It's all their fault!"
…
The crowd became excited. Ah Wu opened his hand to stop several villagers who were about to force Lin Kun and the others. "Calm down, everyone. When we wanted to resist Ruan Tong Agu together before, we all signed a blood letter. Why now?"
Do you think it’s fair to put all the responsibility on Mr. Lin and others?”
"You kid, get out of my way!"
The village chief pulled Awu aside. He looked old and thin, but his hands were strong. Awu staggered directly because of him. At the same time, he took out his pistol and was about to attack Lin Kun.
On the forehead, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Boy, go to hell!"
Lin Kun, who had not said a word for a long time, suddenly raised his hand, clasped the village chief's wrist in his hand, and raised it in the air. At this time, there was a "bang" gunshot.
Eight Fingers and Long Daxiang immediately became angry and took out their guns to blow the village chief's head.
"Old immortal, you are really an ungrateful bastard. Our brothers should not have rescued you from Nguyen Thong Agu's village in the first place!" Eight Fingers scolded.
"I will destroy you!" Long Daxiang said angrily.
Lin Kun raised his hand to stop the two of them, and then looked at the surrounding villagers who raised their guns. He said quietly: "Everyone, please be quiet. The truth will eventually come true. With people like us now, and
When people from Sijiacun fight, I think you should know in your heart that you have no chance of winning.
Perhaps, you can rely on your determination for revenge to fight to the death and die together with the entire Sijia Village, but have you considered it? Do your dead relatives want you to do this? Did you pay the blood for the so-called revenge, but did you kill the real enemy?
"
A group of villagers looked at each other, and then looked at the village chief.
"Everyone……"
The village chief wanted to speak, but the double-row short-barreled shotgun in his eight-fingered hand was pressed against his forehead. The village chief immediately did not dare to speak and looked at Lin Kun with resentful eyes.
Lin Kun gestured with his eight fingers to take away the gun, and said to the village chief: "Just say what you want to say." (One Zero)
The village chief said: "Everyone..."
Lin Kun interrupted him, "Let me ask you a question first. After we left yesterday, why did you summon the villagers to the ancestral hall to pay homage in the middle of the night?" (Zero One)
The village chief held his head high and said: "This has been a custom in our village for many years. We pray for those who go to war, hoping to receive the blessings of our ancestors and return victoriously."
Lin Kun said: "The food everyone ate and the water they drank last night were poisoned. Why did you agree to Elder Dongxi? What benefits did they give you?"
The village chief immediately denied it, "I don't understand what you are talking about at all. Elder, please don't slander me here. I didn't know there was something wrong with the food and water."
Lin Kun said: "Everyone in the village, as long as they went to the ancestral hall to eat, were poisoned. The poison was not fatal, but it made people deeply comatose, so there was no trace of fighting or resistance in the village. As for the
Those villagers who escaped with you probably didn't go to the ancestral hall last night."
As soon as Lin Kun said these words, there were women and children who escaped with the village chief last night. Everyone looked at them. Several women and children looked at each other, and a little boy looked at another little boy.
The boy spoke first.
"I didn't go to the ancestral hall last night because I had a stomachache, and my mother didn't go either. How about you?"
"I went to the field to catch pupae last night, but I came back late. My mother was waiting for me at home and she didn't go."
"I didn't go either..."
"Me too!"
…
A simple confirmation proved that what Lin Kun said was true. Everyone had begun to believe Lin Kun. Lin Kun continued to press the village chief, "The people in the village are like your relatives. They respect your village."
Chief, how could you do this?"
"I-I didn't!"
"Then why among those who went to the ancestral hall last night, why were you the only one who survived?"
"I, I was woken up by the sound of your wolf banging on the door, otherwise I would have been killed too. Yes, I also ate and drank, and I was also unconscious. It was your wolf that woke me up."
The village chief was so nervous that he spoke incoherently, and there was already a layer of sweat on his forehead.
"My wolf must have crashed into someone else's door. Why was it that only you woke up and the others didn't? There are only two possibilities. You took the antidote in advance, or you didn't eat or drink at all." Lin Kun
His tone was cold and authentic, and his eyes were even colder, piercing the village chief's eyes like two fists coming together.
"I, I ate, I also ate and drank yesterday, I ate and drank with everyone..."
"Then you take the antidote in advance!"
"I……"
"There's no need to deny it. Tell me, what benefits did they promise you so that you could be so cruel as to ignore the whole village? Wouldn't your conscience hurt?"
