Chapter 153 Shocking change in the middle of the night
After he left, Tang Shijin spent a minute persuading Brother Lei to use the big-bellied porcelain with her, and Brother Lei agreed obediently.
So she excitedly finished all the drawings, then yawned and blew out the lamp.
Not long after I lay down, I suddenly heard a scream, and then another one, the sound was extremely shrill.
Tang Shijin had just started to feel sleepy, but he was so frightened that he woke up immediately.
Not long after, Yan Baiwei's voice came from outside: "Jin'er?"
"I'm fine!" Tang Shijin quickly put on his clothes and went out: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"I don't know," Yan Baiwei looked outside. Someone in the village had been alerted and came out with torches. Yan Baiwei said, "I'm going out to have a look. Don't go, go back!"
Tang Shijin hummed.
Yan Baiwei went over to take a look, and everyone talked and ran to the house of "Widow Cui". Yan Baiwei heard that she was a widow, so she didn't come close. She listened behind and then came back and said to Tang Shijin: "It seems to be...
I met some strongman and said that half of the wall had collapsed, there was blood on the ground, and there was no one there."
Tang Shijin said: "What kind of strong man can break down a wall?"
"I don't know," Yan Baiwei said, "I can't take a closer look."
Tang Shijin said: "But have you already escaped in such a short time?"
She hesitated for a moment, then told Brother Lei through the door, and went over with Yan Baiwei again.
Before I arrived, I heard everyone exclaiming in surprise.
Tang Shijin found a familiar person and asked, "Uncle He, what's wrong?"
That man was also a hunter, so he turned around and said, "Maybe we encountered a blind bear."
Tang Shijin was surprised: "Bear?"
It's only the beginning of March, are there any bears?
Everyone had already lit all the torches. Tang Shijin followed suit and lit a torch. The two of them went over there and took a look. The room was not messy, but there was a large pool of blood on the ground, and some things that looked like minced meat. The blood stains
There were some signs of suspected struggle all around, which was shocking.
There was another trail of blood, and a large group of people followed the blood trail and chased it for three or four miles before they saw a human leg, half-covered in the snow pit. Judging from the clothes, it must be Widow Cui.
It was really frightening to see this situation in the middle of the night.
Tang Shijin clutched Yan Baiwei's hand tightly, her whole body trembling. As a person who grew up in a city in the 20th century, she had never seen anything terrible! She was almost scared to tears.
Yan Baiwei held his hand with one hand and gently patted her back with the other, his expression serious.
No one dared to stay longer and walked back quickly.
When we returned to the village, it was almost dawn, and everyone had stayed up all night, but there was no sleepiness at all.
The head of the He family called everyone over and said solemnly: "Our ancestors said that man-eating tigers cannot be left alive. Everyone knows this."
Even in modern times, many people know this statement.
The strength of human beings lies in their minds, but humans do not have sharp claws and fangs, and their physical strength has never been their strong point.
Most wild beasts are actually afraid of humans, but once a wild beast eats a human, they must be killed at all costs.
Because it has tasted the deliciousness of human flesh and knows the harmlessness of humans, it will never forget it.
Eating human flesh is addictive.
From then on, in the heart of this beast, humans have become prey, which is very terrifying, and it will try to taste this delicious food again at all costs.
Uncle He said: "Count me in."
Others also responded one after another.
Yan Baiwei said in a deep voice: "I'll go there too."
The head of the He family stood up and bowed to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone." He immediately announced: "Let's make preparations first. Bring everything with you. Those who go up the mountain should seize the time to sleep. It's 9 o'clock at the beginning of the month.
) set off, right in front of Cui’s house.”
Everyone responded with a roar, and then dispersed.
In the Tang Dynasty, Jin was speechless for a long time.
She was born at the bottom of society and was used to seeing the dark side of human nature, so she was used to controlling interests and using interests to influence people's hearts... But when it came to a critical moment of life and death, she suddenly felt that these people were also flesh and blood, with feelings and love.
.
You know, these days are not like modern times. Bear skins can't even be shot through by bows and arrows. It's very scary. This is really risking your life.
Maybe everyone is trying to protect themselves, but if you can stand up at this time, you are a hero.
Tang Shijin said: "I want to go too."
"Don't go," Yan Baiwei said, "Don't worry, no matter what, I will have no problem protecting myself."
But are you a person who only wants to protect yourself?
She said nothing.
Yang Pengxiao was driving a carriage outside to go to the county town to buy bows and arrows. She followed him directly and bought ten broadswords and ten long bows. She came back and divided them among them. Then she gave the two stone bows to Yan Baiwei. The largest bow that can be bought here is
Two stones.
At the beginning of the year, people gradually gathered together.
Tang Shijin found that the three sons of the patriarch were all there, and He Shiba and He Yuanxiao were also there. Most of the families only had their eldest son or youngest son left, and several other sons were left behind.
Tang Shijin's eye sockets felt sore as he looked at it, and he tried not to speak.
Then these people discussed for a while, and finally took the lead, Uncle He, who had spoken before.
Then someone asked: "Hey? Where's He Da? He's also a good hunter."
It was okay not to ask, but after asking, He Da's wife couldn't hold it anymore: "Our head and Dalang have been in the mountains for four days, you go out... at least look for our head, and I don't know him.
how's it going……"
Everyone's expressions darkened.
Then the old patriarch shouted: "Okay, stop crying! Hurry up!"
Wife He Wu tried her best to hold back her tears.
Everyone looked at each other for a few times, quickly gathered themselves together, and headed into the mountains.
Tang Shijin looked at a large group of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, who all went to comfort the eldest daughter-in-law, but did not go there.
She felt empty in her heart.
She thought she would like this... how should I put it? The feeling of being protected from behind when charging, but in fact, she felt extremely uncomfortable and uneasy.
She and Brother Lei returned home and walked around the room several times, but still felt uneasy.
She stood up suddenly, took out all the banknotes, and gave them to Brother Lei: "I have to go, Lei'er, you can take these."
Brother Lei burst into tears and hugged her: "Sister, please don't go, please, please! Please don't go... you can't leave me!"
Tang Shijin touched his head and said seriously: "Lei'er, I practice martial arts. Although my ability is not as good as Yan Baiwei, I can at least be worth two or three Yuanxiao festivals, so I am better than many people in the village, and
,The key thing is, I have an ominous premonition, I am not at ease, I am not at ease with Yan Baiwei."
Brother Lei cried: "Sister, if you don't worry about Brother Yan, can you trust me?"
"I'm not worried either," Tang Shijin said sternly: "But brother Lei, conscience is like a soft knife that sharpens people. I won't go today. It's okay if Yan Baiwei is fine. If something happens to him, I will be in trouble for the rest of my life for decades."
, will be tortured by this matter, so saving people is not for others, but precisely for my peace of mind, do you understand?"
