Chapter 166: Seeing blood before leaving
It's time to return tomorrow morning, and when I come back, I'll set up a night stand, so everyone will have a break early.
Everyone knows that it is over, so those who are resting are sleeping very hard. The tension and fatigue of these days have been relaxed, and the snoring sounds are coming one after another. The people on duty are also chatting quietly, imagining the days in the future. This time, everyone's income can be bought with a small family business, and it is not a problem to live in food and clothing.
When the day was later, Zhu Da found that the person who was most excited and nervous was himself. This time, he originally wanted to seize the opportunity to do a speculative and profitable business, but he never thought of washing the thief's nest halfway, and then he had such a treasure digging harvest in Zhengjiaji. The income was far more than the estimate. Then the next plan had to be adjusted accordingly. Thinking about the dangers that might arise in the future, Zhu Da also felt that his family was too dark. The experience and memory of more than 20 years of life were difficult to make people have positive emotions. In addition, Yuan Biao and Qin Chuan taught in recent years, which led to Zhu Da's thinking logic always thinking about the bottom line, and always thinking that with such a large amount of money in his hand, will the people outside and the people around him have any bad intentions.
I was just thinking in a daze until Zhou Qingyun changed shifts with him. That night was Zhu Da's turn in the second half of the night. When everyone was about to set off the next day, they could see that Zhu Da's eyes were black, and it was obvious that they didn't sleep well that night.
Just now, the fire was started to make food, but I heard a commotion outside the yard, and the noise was coming to this side. Everyone was busy stopped moving. A hired worker lay on the wall and looked out, and turned around and shouted, "Master, many people are coming to us."
It was said that it was just dawn at this time, and it was still dark in the west. It was just when we could just use the skylight to move. It was easy to get into chaos and something was easy to get into chaos when we heard the hired worker shouting. Zhu Da, a little listless, moved quickly to the ground behind the wall, climbed the wall and looked out. Nearly 100 people were rushing over with swords, guns and sticks. Others were not very familiar with each other. One of them had seen him yesterday, and was Zhao Sheng who led the way.
The caravans of other courtyards were also ready to set off at this time. The gates of the courtyards were already open, but seeing this, they quickly closed the doors and sent people to guard the walls. I believe the guards and other caravans had already taken out their weapons.
"Dear young and old who come and go, the boy from Huairen County stole our wealth and goods and wanted to run away. He has a wrongdoing and has a debt. Don't worry about the irrelevant ones. Let's get the things back and leave!"
"A boy named Zhu, hand over the things, the villagers in the village can spare your life. If you don't know how to live or die, you won't be able to leave. Grandpas are not afraid of officials who are killing people here."
After seeing Zhao Sheng, Zhu Da probably guessed that the other party came for him. After hearing this call, he became even more certain. He wanted to say that the gang that occupied Zheng Jiaji had some rules. When the caravan encountered bandits outside, it was easy to share the same hatred for the enemy. The gang pointed out the target first. After confirming that it was only targeted at one place, the others would also sweep the snow in front of the door.
"Don't swear. We didn't get anything last night. You thieves just like us who make money in business and want to make money and kill us!" Zhu Da shouted back loudly on the wall.
If you have no evidence, why make people greedy? If you shout back like this, at least you will have the right to be righteous. As for the truth, everyone is shouting, no one will know, and no one will care.
"Put the cart across the wall and find something to cushion, and those who can get up!" Zhu Da shouted.
Although there were many people outside and shouting and making noise, the employees were not very panicked. They followed Zhu Da's instructions to put the cart across the wall, and then found wooden boards, haystacks and even firewood in the yard to put it on the cart, so that people could step on it. In this kind of yard outside the enclosure, the courtyard walls were often very high because they also had the effect of thief-proof fortifications. There were also dirt platforms behind the walls, which facilitated people to defend against foreign enemies. Eleven or two hired workers quickly went up.
The group of people outside were already shouting that they were about to hit the door, and some people were holding grass handles and the like above their heads, and there were even two door panels. Last night, I saw Zhou Qingyun shooting an arrow, and the afternoon before yesterday, I saw Zhu Da's team throwing spears. I still have this sense of defense.
"I saw that there was no one below, so I stared at one and threw the wooden gun in my hand hard. I didn't care whether it could be hit or not. I picked up the next one and then threw it. I felt that my arm was sore and I had a rest. I started to shoot now!" Zhu Da didn't have the momentum of starting the battle, but instead said it in detail.
However, such detailed instructions have made the hired workers more adaptable. Their experience is less than half a month. Only by explaining it in detail can we not deviate from it too much when we execute it.
"Don't be stunned. Do you think people outside will be kind-hearted when they come in? Can they spare your life or be your ancestor?" Zhu Da shouted.
Anyone can figure this out, but many people can't imagine it if they don't say it out. As soon as they shouted out, the slightly hesitant employees shouted and waved the spear thrower and shot the wooden gun down.
The door panel can block the wooden gun. No matter how the tip of the wooden gun is handled, it is still brittle. The two door panels have large targets. Several wooden guns have been broken and the tips have been broken. However, two of them are nailed to the door panel. It can be seen how powerful the wooden gun projected from a high spear is. However, the person holding the door panel cannot see it, and others do not care about looking up and observing.
When one was dropped, the second one immediately followed, just to put the wooden gun on the spear thrower and wave his arms hard, but there were only two door panels, and the grass handles and the like could not be blocked. The wooden gun that was thrown for the second time avoided the door panel, and the wooden gun penetrated the human body from top to bottom.
Some wooden guns were lost, but as long as they were stabbed, they would be killed and seriously injured. When many hired workers raised their fourth wooden gun, more than twenty people had fallen down below, and the others scattered. The corpses were everywhere in front of the courtyard gate, and blood had soaked the land in black and purple. As for the few people holding the door panel, they threw down the door panel that covered them and ran away.
Zhu Da stood on one side, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, scanning every corner below. Zhu Da just watched from beginning to end. This scene was not worth his attack. Zhu Da also had to guard against the enemy's means, such as a archer, while Zhou Qingyun led the people to guard against the other side. The enemy was not a fool, and might rush over from the back door.
But when the momentum comes, the fallen flowers and waters escape, the mob should be like this. If these people are not so aggressive, they should have set fires at night last night and wait for the caravan to leave the yard during the day before rushing forward. At that time, the confidence of success will be greater.
In this situation, it was obvious that I suffered a loss last night, and I thought that Zhu Da and the others had indeed dug up their treasures. I was afraid that they would not be able to hold back this night, for fear that this bet of money would fly, so they rushed over at dawn. The standard for evaluating the strength of this group of people is probably that there are too many people. I think that if the number of people is advantageous to a certain extent, they can overweight the strength, and the result is to die.
This gang was originally very well-organized. After occupying Zheng Jiaji, he wanted to rely on the remaining facilities to do a long-term business, but he did not suppress his greed in the face of temptation and suffered heavy losses. Maybe there will be internal strife and other things in the future, but these causes and effects have nothing to do with Zhu Da and the others.
When it was clear that the enemy would not come back from fleeing, Zhu Da was really concerned about the workers. The workers were very excited after they repelled the enemy, but their emotions were only excited. No one was disgusted by the corpses and blood below, and no one lost control of their emotions. The workers were gradually accustomed to killing. The blood and death seen in the past few days have made them adapt a lot.
After defeating the enemy, Zhu Da did not rush to go out, but instead continued to make fire and make food, asking the hired workers to clean up carefully, not to leave anything behind, and even moved the outside door panels in. These two large boards have many uses.
After dinner, they cleaned up and opened the gate of the yard, and four large chariots came out in a row. The bodies in front of the door were killed and injured. Just cleaned up. Just don’t block the cart. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were riding horses in front, and they were also very relaxed, and there was no team to take care of each other.
"I thought this place was completely finished, but now it seems that it's okay. If later people can clean up, they can recover a little." Zhu Da sighed to Zhou Qingyun. No matter what the purpose of the later people, timely restraining and burning of bodies was equivalent to protecting the water and soil here, and the possibility of later people getting sick is much less.
They were walking in the courtyard with swaggers. The other caravans who were about to go out kept their doors closed. These bystanders were already frightened. Now they were not guarding against the thieves from Zheng Jiaji, but were careful of the team of more than 20 people. This group of people looked like tigers, wolfs and evil beasts.
As for the local gang of Zheng Jiaji, after the escape, there were still people who were unwilling to accept it. They just looked around from afar, but never had the courage to get closer. Zhu Da actually saw Zhao Sheng again. This person was indeed as slippery as he remembered. His companions died in front, but his family escaped several times, which was also a skill.
After leaving the Zheng family for a few miles, Zhu Da asked the team to stop. Everyone thought there was something abnormal, but they did not expect that they arranged for everyone to clean up the blood stains in the car and take off the heads hanging. When they said this arrangement, everyone immediately implemented it, fetched water nearby and rubbed the blood stains with hay. When they were busy at first, everyone was talking and laughing, and gradually became silent. The matter of cleaning up the blood stains made everyone realize that they were going to return to Huairen County this time.
Killing people and being killed outside the city is lawless. As long as you are stronger than others and can kill others, everything is reasonable. But when you return to the city, there is a law of kings. Life these days will be completely different from what you have to live after returning to the city. I remember that I was just coming into contact with this cruel and bloody a few days ago. Everyone was thinking about a peaceful day, but the peaceful day was right in front of me, and everyone’s thoughts were not the same as they were back then.
