Chapter 2 Haoyue was caught

In the blink of an eye, the group of police officers arrived at Xujia Village, but to Longyue's surprise, the bamboo baskets carried by the farmers were not filled with requisitioned grain, but children of five or six years old.

The children were standing on the edge of the basket crying with frightened eyes. A man wearing a crest and a toga with a shoehorn face sat on a horse and scolded the crying children in the basket to shut up.

Longyue thought to herself, what is going on? The government has started selling children?

Feeling something was wrong, while the guards were still far away, Haoyue took her brother and ran home. After entering the house, she immediately locked the door latch, then hid under the window sill, pricking up her ears and listening to the goings on in the village.

As soon as the policemen entered the village, they knocked on the door. When the villagers saw the policemen coming from a distance, they were afraid that they were here to collect food taxes again, so they closed their doors early and pretended that no one was at home, but the tax collectors had already collected experienced policemen.

, then choose to smash the door directly.

"Open the door!" The guard banged the wooden door of Ogyue's house, causing the earthen wall to rustle with dust.

Haoyue in the room tightly covered the idiot brother's mouth, telling him not to make any sound.

A sharp-eyed guard saw a figure moving in the house through the gap in the wooden door, and immediately shouted: "Everyone is hiding in the house! Break the door open!"

Several officers heard the news and stepped forward to kick it. The loose wooden door could not withstand the tossing. Before Ogyue could react, the wooden door was kicked open. After entering the house, the officers walked around and found that there was no adult at home, so they casually kicked the door open.

He put some of the hanging animal skins into his arms.

Just when Ogyue's idiot brother was about to rush out to stop him, Ogyue's quick eyesight and quick hands hurriedly pulled him back.

The king of hell wants to invite a little devil to deal with. There are many people on the opposite side, and his parents are not here at the moment. It is not worth getting into a conflict over a few pairs of wild animal skins.

The officers got the benefit and did not take action against the Ogyue brothers and sisters. They just took them to the wheat field in the village.

In the village, more and more villagers were picked out by the guards, and then they were pushed and pushed to the wheat field. Those who walked slowly were beaten with sticks, and there was a sudden wailing in the field.

The old village chief leaned on crutches and said to Cha head: "Master Cha, what are you doing? Our village just paid the food tax two days ago."

"We are not here to collect taxes this time." The chief held a knife in his hand and signaled the villagers to be quiet. Then he pointed to the shoehorned man sitting on the horse and said, "This man is the chief steward of our Duke of Yu.

, I’m here to do something in your village today.”

When they heard that they were from the Duke's Mansion, the place fell silent. The villagers looked at each other and thought, why would this man from the Duke's Mansion come to this rural place like ours?

The shoehorned man sitting high on the horse raised his hands and said: "There is a severe drought in northern Henan. Our Duke of Henan is concerned about the people's livelihood and has invited a priest with great supernatural powers. In three days, he will offer sacrifices at the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain. We will need many priests at that time."

Boys and girls are used as sacrifices, so today we came to the village to select children, and the chosen family can receive a consistent amount of money."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of everyone in the village who had children were in their throats. Who would want to let their children die?

When Ogyue heard that human sacrifice was going to be held, she was also very surprised. She had only seen such things as child sacrifice in TV series and novels before, but she never thought that one day it would happen to her.

"Bring all the children in the village and let the chief steward take a look." the chief ordered the officers.

After receiving the order, the policemen began to snatch the children from the villagers. Some villagers who held the children and refused to let go were beaten with sticks by the policemen. Several women took advantage of the chaos and ran out with their children. As a result, they were beaten on the head by the policemen with bright swords on the way.

Forced back.

Ogyue and her brother were also dragged out of the crowd by the guards. Her idiot brother didn't know what was going on and even made faces at his sister with a cheerful look on his face.

The children in the village were all driven to the open space of the rice field. The chief steward of the Yu State Government looked over one by one. Most of the children in the village were sallow and skinny due to hunger. There were also a few children who looked sick.

Look.

The head butler shook his head when he saw it, and few could stand it.

When he saw Wuyue, the big housekeeper's eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed at Wuyue and said, "This girl is a good-looking girl. It's her. Take her away." The big housekeeper sentenced Wuyue in one sentence.

of death penalty.

Seeing that the one who was picked was not their own child, the villagers at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

The winning bidder, Longyue, was also speechless, blinking her big innocent eyes: "What? Why should you be sacrificed to heaven if you are good-looking?"

Without waiting for Haoyue's reaction, the servant reached out and picked her up like a chicken.

Seeing that his sister was about to be taken away, Haoyue's slow-witted idiot brother finally realized that something was wrong. Then without saying a word, he used his brute strength to hit the guard like a calf, and the guard who was holding Haoyue was forcibly killed.

He was knocked back more than ten meters.

In the process of being knocked away, Haoyue was caught by her brother, and then he was caught in his arms.

When Chao saw someone dared to resist, he immediately felt that his majesty was being challenged. There were people from the Duke's Mansion watching nearby, so he cursed in a violent voice: "How dare you attack an official? This is a rebellion! Give him to me.

Take it!"

After giving the order, several guards armed with sticks surrounded the brother and sister. Upon seeing this, the young man picked up his sister with one hand and held her tightly in his arms. He bared his teeth at the surrounding guards and looked fiercely like a wolf.

.

The armed officers took advantage of the large number of people and rushed forward, and they were bound to take the two people away.

Facing the ferocious police officer, Haoyue was firmly protected in her arms by her brother, and she couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart.

Haoyue's idiot brother protected his sister while fighting with everyone, but he didn't lose at all.

But soon, the cunning police officer saw that the fool's weakness was the little girl in his arms, so they all attacked Ogyue in his arms instead.

When Haoyue saw this, she cursed in her heart. These bullies were so shameless. So many people surrounded a fool and a six-year-old girl.

In order to prevent the sister in his arms from being hurt, the idiot brother who was restrained could only dodge with all his strength. If he couldn't dodge, he could only use his body to resist.

Heavy sticks fell like raindrops, hitting the fool's head, shoulders, waist, and legs with a crackling sound.

Blood gradually overflowed from his forehead and corners of his mouth, but this idiot brother remained silent and protected his sister in his arms like a lone wolf protecting its cubs.

Haoyue felt distressed for a while when she saw it, the kind of pain in her heart.

"Brother, you will be beaten to death if you continue like this. Let me go down and I will go with them. Nothing will happen to me." Haoyue couldn't bear to let her idiot brother get hurt again.

Haoyue looked around. All the surrounding villagers had dispersed. It seemed that no one would care about them. She felt a little chilled for a moment. This was just about sweeping the snow in front of the door and not caring about the frost on other people's tiles.

My parents haven't come back yet, so the best way now is to go with them first and then find a way to escape.

"Brother, let me go, I'll be fine." Haoyue said, hugging her brother's neck.

However, the young man supported his shaky body, and then gently shook his head towards his sister. The originally cloudy and dull eyes in his eyes became extremely firm.

What he meant was that nothing but death could separate him from his sister today.

A police officer took advantage of the gap between the brother and sister's conversation, walked around behind the two of them, and struck the brother's leg with a heavy stick.

The weakest joint in the leg was hit hard, and my brother was beaten to the point where he fell to his knees. Before he fell, he did not forget to protect Haoyue in his arms.

"Brother!" A crying Ogyue exclaimed, and was so sad that she couldn't speak. No one had ever protected her so desperately.

After Brother Ogyue fell down, he was immediately thrown to the ground by a group of police officers with sticks, and then tied up with ropes. The officers stepped forward and caught Ogyue.

The red-eyed Ogyue, like an angry little rabbit, took a bite of the officer's arm. The officer felt pain in his hand and threw Ogyue away.

Haoyue fell to the ground and splashed dust all over the ground. Her originally white and tender face turned gray, and tears welled up in her eyes. At this moment, she was only angry that she was too weak and could not be as powerful as A Niang.

Haoyue wiped away her tears unconvinced. The tears on her face were mixed with dust, and she suddenly turned into a little cat.

The little tabby cat Ogyue stared at the officer with her big eyes, as if she could make two holes in him in the next second.

If Shen Yinxing had seen this stubborn and pitiful look, he would probably have lost his temper and picked up a kitchen knife and struck down the entire audience one by one.

The guards didn't pay attention to the hostility of a six-year-old girl at all. They dragged Ogyue's idiot brother to the ground with a rope and walked in front of him in a showy manner, leaving a shocking blood trail on the ground.

When the victorious officers were about to leave the village, they were blocked by a group of villagers holding hoes and harpoons at the entrance of the village. Even the old village chief with a gray beard raised his crutch in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Ogyue's eyes were a little moist. It turned out that everyone didn't ignore them, but went back to the house to get weapons.

Just, why didn't you come earlier?

"Put down our Xujiacun doll!" The old village chief put the crutch in his hand on Cha Tou's nose.

"Yes! Put it down!" A group of villagers holding hoes echoed.

The police officer yelled angrily: "What? Are your entire Xujia Village going to rebel?" Upon seeing this, the police officers drew their knives one after another, with a cold chill exuding from the shining blades.
