Back Off, Let Me Come

Shen Tang asked: "What are you vomiting for?"

Zhai Le put on a handsome face and explained in a low voice: "I'm afraid that when you buried the body, people nearby saw it. So, just as you walked away with your front foot, you came over with your back foot to dig out the body..."

Because he was drunk, Shen Tang didn't think clearly for a moment.

"What are you going to do with these?"

Zhai Le changed from his usual relaxed mood. Even his peach blossom eyes, which were always smiling, turned gloomy. There was sadness at the end of his eyes, but what he said made people shudder: "I'm so hungry, what else do you think you can do?"

He pointed it out directly, and Shen Tang suddenly opened his eyes.

He didn't say anything for a long time.

"But, but that's a human..." At this moment, Shen Tang looked helpless and confused. She hesitated unconsciously and murmured softly, "How could a human... not! That's a human, the same kind, or... Buried in the ground..."

Qishan took Shen Tang all the way to Xiaocheng. In order to avoid suffering and inquire more about news, the route was not remote, and he could meet villages and towns every one or two days. The life of the common people is very difficult. It can only be said that they can barely make do with it and keep the most basic bottom line.

Shen Tang knew that such a thing existed, but had never seen it.

But Zhai Le is different.

Zhai Le and his cousin Zhai Huan set out from the southeast. Relying on their good skills and tacit understanding, the two of them dared to get into any place. They passed several bandit dens along the way and killed several groups of extremely vicious people. Just as Zhai Le said , act righteously and fight against injustice.

Villains are easy to kill but hard to fill.

He and his elder brother once passed through a village. There were only 36 households in the village.

An old man in the village died that day. He and his elder brother lived in one of the farmhouses. As night fell, they heard conversations outside the courtyard. Curious, he looked out through the window and saw the skinny villager delivering bowls of broth from door to door.

Thanks to her good eyesight, she also saw the bitter expression on the peasant woman's face.

There are not many edible roots nearby.

Zhai Le didn't know what kind of soup it was at first, so he told his brother out of curiosity. To this day, he still remembers his expression at that time. Half of his face was dyed reddish by the candlelight, and the other half was hidden in the shadows. , The shadow appears and disappears with the faint flame.

He even had a terrifying delusion - a ferocious giant beast covered in blood was lurking in the dark. It would jump out and eat him up until his brother opened his mouth, chewing him into mincemeat.

The oil lamp beeped.

Elder brother said indifferently: 【The living are always more important than the dead. The dead are already dead, but the living still have to live. 】

Zhai Le still didn't understand the meaning of these words, until the day he left the village, another family had a funeral.

Zhai Le left on horseback, turned his head inadvertently, and saw the relatives of the deceased crying and burying the body in the grave prepared in advance. But before the coffin could be sealed, Muramasa brought people over to negotiate.

The distance was too far for Zhai Le to hear what they said, but judging from their excited exchange that almost turned into a physical conflict, both parties were unhappy, and the body was eventually moved out.

Suddenly——

Brother's words lingered in his mind.

Only then did he really understand what had happened.

Zhai Le, who killed people without blinking an eye, almost fell off his horse that day and vomited out all the dry food he ate yesterday.

【Ah, brother...】

[Similar things have never happened. 】

Zhai Le: 【But...】

Zhai Huan looked indifferent: [Before you are unable to help them avoid hunger, never criticize their behavior, and don't interfere. Unless——you have the sacrifice courage of the Buddha to cut meat and feed the eagle, and replace it with your body. Xiaofang, they have to live...]

Zhai Huan's voice was as gentle as ever, and it also made Zhai Le feel helpless as never before. It was the despair that his cousin, who he had regarded as a role model since childhood, was helpless.

Zhai Le said in a low mood: "My brother said that these people want to live more than anyone else, but the world wants them to die more than anyone else. The injury is not a living person, just a corpse, so what right do outsiders have to say they are cruel and inhumane?" ?can not say……"

Hearing this, Shen Tang stood there, looking at the three severely decomposed and incomplete corpses under his feet, he was stunned for a long time and couldn't recover.

For a long time——

She said: "That's right, Guan Yiwu said, 'If you have enough warehouses, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.' But these people don't say, 'If you have enough warehouses, you will have enough food and clothing.' Their temples for the five internal organs are all empty, and several members of the family can't even get one together." Decent clothes, what etiquette and honor are you talking about?"

Under such circumstances, isn't it the greatest arrogance to comment on their behavior with etiquette, honor and disgrace, and ethics?

Zhai Le saw that there was something wrong with Shen Tang's expression, so he raised his hand and pushed her arm, trying to shake Shen Tang who seemed to be stricken awake.

Shen Tang took a deep breath, waved his hands and said, "I'm fine."

"Brother Shen, how do you deal with them? All..."

Zhai Le looked at the trembling gangsters, raised his hand and stretched out his thumb, and made a neat stroke on the neck.

Several of the gangsters saw this scene and vaguely guessed their fate. They knelt down with a thump and banged their heads, causing phantom pain in their skulls. Panicked, the two twitched, with tears and snot streaming down their noses: "The hero, the hero, spare me!"

There are also those who do not believe in evil, such as the head of a strong man.

He didn't think that Shen and Tang had the courage to kill him knowing that his backer was the bandit's nest. As for Shen Tang's choice of bandit nest, he didn't think that the two of them could do it.

He knew how big the bandit den was.

Shen Tang said: "I want to kill."

Zhai Leyang drew out a knife, and when Shen Tang gave an order, he raised the knife and chopped these gangsters into melons and vegetables.

Shen Tang added: "But it would be a pity to kill them all."

Zhai Le: "What a pity?"

Shen Tang sneered: "What else can you do while alive? After death, you can only bury yourself in the fertile soil. However, I feel uncomfortable letting this group of people live. Xiaofang, what are you going to do?"

Zhai Le: "I'll kill him, but I can't take him with me."

It wasn't just the two of them who offended this group of gangsters today, but also the white-haired old man who stood up, and those spectators who watched the fun were barely counted. This time the tiger returned to the mountain, the two of them were fine, but those ordinary people would suffer.

Shen Tang said: "You said... bring it? Why?"

Zhai Le had other understandings.

Surprised: "Brother Shen, are you planning to recruit them?"

Kill it and bury it anywhere, once it’s done, the cost is almost zero, but it’s different when it’s incorporated, it’s a super big trouble.

Shen Tang: "..."

When did she say that? ? ?

Zhai Le looked embarrassed: "I'm not deliberately poking Brother Shen's pain, but one person has one mouth. There are twenty or thirty people here, that means twenty or thirty mouths. How much are the daily expenses? Even if Brother Shen is kind enough to recruit them, they Are you willing to be loyal?"

Brother Shen himself is extremely poor.

So poor that he sells wine for nothing!

What can we do to recruit and support these gangsters?

Shen Tang was still confused.

She didn't know how the topic jumped to the point of recruiting gangsters, she just followed Zhai Le's topic and was curious about how to "carry".

"You, wait, let me think about it again."

Before he could figure out the reason, the strong man at the head sneered and spat, saying: "You want me to work hard for the pretty boy and dream about it! When brother finds out, you will all—"

puff--

|ω｀) I was so excited to chat with Tanzi that I forgot there was an update.

PS: I feel that there is no need to worry about whether Qi is good or not.
