This is often the case when dealing with evil people. If one person takes the lead, the group may not necessarily respond, but if there is a certain inducement, it may instantly arouse everyone's emotions.
This inducement may be a certain atmosphere, it may be a small thing, or it may be a certain person... In short, when this opportunity comes, under the huge psychological impact, people's fear of evil forces will not be so deep.
This kind of thing will multiply. Once more people respond, under the stimulation of huge irrational hormones, it will be easy to turn into a group carnival.
When an individual faces evil forces, it is inevitable to be weak, but a group of people is not afraid. Even if something bad happens, there will always be someone to support them.
Isn't there a saying that "the law does not punish everyone"? What's more, everyone is not breaking the law, but is engaged in a just cause.
Finally, as the old doctor followed my instructions and gave my father-in-law a gentle blow with his fist at his Dantian, the old man's eyelids, which had been in a state of suspended animation for a long time, began to shake violently, and he was about to wake up.
At this time, the leader, who noticed something was wrong behind him, quickly turned around and happened to see this scene.
"No! It's impossible! How can you wake up, how can you survive at this time! Go to hell! If you don't die, I will die!"
The leader was about to collapse at this time, as if the old man's recovery was an unacceptable horror event for him, and he was no longer as calm and vicious as he was a moment ago.
He no longer cared to check whether the injuries of those strong men were real, and at this time, regardless of whether they were injured or not, he ran towards the old man like crazy.
However, there was no joy at all on his face, instead it was filled with a ferocious look, as if he wanted to eat the old man alive.
Suddenly, someone from the crowd of onlookers stretched out a foot, easily tripping the irrational leader to the ground, and accidentally landed in front of the old man who was about to wake up.
At this time, the old man's eyelids were shaking to the extreme. Finally, amidst the expectations of everyone and the panic of the leader of the troublemakers, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Baby, do you really want to die for your father?" The old man murmured in pain, and two tears fell down his eyes before he opened them.
"No -" Faced with the old man's culture, the leader could no longer listen. He waved his fists and desperately wanted to get up and beat the old man violently.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd roared one after another.
"Beat him to death! Beat him to death! This unfilial son, beat him to death!"
"What did he say before that as long as the person can't come back to life, today's matter will not be settled, right? But now that the person has come back to life, he wants to beat the old man to death with his own hands. This is obviously harming people's lives!"
"More than that, it's just crazy! Didn't you hear that the old man called himself father? He is trying to kill his father!"
"He wanted to kill his own father and put the blame on Dr. Cao. How could this man have such a dark heart..."
"Beat him to death! Beat him to death!"
For a moment, everyone was talking around, and all kinds of scoldings were mixed together. I don’t know who was the leader. Suddenly, a rotten egg was thrown into the face of the leader, causing his body to freeze when he had just climbed up.
.
He was about to yell, but before he had time to react, he felt that his sky was already darkening.
The angry people seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding at this moment, and they all took a step to surround him and started the beating mode.
At this moment, everyone thinks that they are righteous and what they do is just, so they act without any scruples.
In particular, this kind of group behavior can easily lead to loss of control. At the beginning, the leader's miserable howl could be heard, but soon there was no sound anymore.
I didn't choose to stop the violent scene that happened in front of me. If he hadn't gone too far, everything would not have ended like this.
At the same time, if I hadn't happened to meet him today, I'm afraid such a scene would never have happened, and the unlucky ones would only be Dr. Cao and other good people.
I have my own understanding of the cowardice and bravery of groups. Whether it is the various experiences in the real world or the various stories I heard from the castle master in the dream world, they all have striking similarities.
It seems that human nature is the same no matter what world it is in. When scattered, it can silence a person until death, and when gathered, the power it unleashes is equally destructive.
Therefore, I decided to follow my own code of conduct and do what I thought was right.
Seeing that the crowd's emotions were on the verge of breaking out, the group of people wearing sackcloth and mourning who had followed the leader took off their sackcloth one after another, threw it on the ground, blended in with the crowd, and fled without looking back.
Even those big men who were howling in agony were taken away by other accomplices. With their strong bodies and powerful strength, no one could stop them.
I also didn't choose to stop them. I guess today's events have taught them enough lessons. After all, it's never easy to be promoted to Innate.
There is no intention of capturing them, so it is better to let them bring people back to serve as a warning to others.
"Okay, don't fight anymore. If you fight again, someone will die."
"It's enough for everyone to vent their anger. Let's send them to the Yamen."
"Under state laws, he should be severely punished! Everyone is optimistic about what happened today. It is not unfilial, but deliberate murder."
Suddenly, several young Confucian scholars spoke up and took action to pull away the angry crowd.
"Our Confucian sect is the most fair in dealing with matters. A few people will help him out and we will go to the Yamen together! Don't worry, with us here, this case will not go astray."
This was the first time I met Confucian scholars, and their influence was indeed powerful. Soon many people listened to their words and came forward to pick up the unconscious leader.
There were even more people who were willing to be witnesses. Following them, a large group of people walked towards the city with cheers and cheers, and there was no breeze.
During the entire incident, the old doctor remained silent. He was rare and did not insist on saving people, such as checking the leader's injuries.
And just as silent as him was the old man who had just woken up.
From the first time he saw his rebellious son after waking up, watching him reprimanding himself, jumping up to murder him, and finally being beaten by the crowd, until now being taken to the Yamen by the angry people, he didn't say anything
One sentence.
He just stared at all this blankly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Old man, I think you are definitely not an ordinary person. I just don't know what you did before? How could such a rebellious son do such an unfilial thing?" Doctor Cao asked.
"I am the richest man in Xihong City!" the old man said numbly. (To be continued)
