Chapter 126 They've all gone mad
Just as the group was happily preparing to visit the supply and marketing cooperative, a commotion suddenly broke out on the street, followed by various cries and curses.
Upon hearing this, Lin Guangsheng quickly picked up his daughter, Song Feng instinctively pulled his son over, and the others acted just as swiftly. Then, the group found a secluded spot and retreated.
Not long after, a large group came over.
"They are not good people, they deserve to be scorned. Today, we brought them here so that everyone can condemn them! Those who go against the will of the people are not good people. Look, their fate is the punishment for betraying us. You should condemn them and not let them feel any warmth. They do not deserve warmth!"
"Yes, yell at them!"
"Their very existence is an insult to us!"
"Hit him! Hit him!"
...
Song Feng looked at Lin Guangsheng: "Shall we go back first?"
"There are too many people, we can't leave for now." Lin Guangsheng lowered his eyes. He disliked this kind of scene, and he especially disliked his daughter being in this situation, but now that people were packed together, they simply couldn't get out. Moreover, no one knew what kind of accident might happen when they tried to squeeze through, after all, the situation was too chaotic.
"We just didn't arrive in time," someone sighed.
"Who knew we'd run into each other by such a coincidence?" someone added.
A rare moment of silence fell over the crowd.
Everyone knew what had happened; they had heard rumors of chaos in the city, but this was the first time they had faced it head-on.
While similar incidents might occur in their town, they were minor and unregulated. The atmosphere there was conducive to such activities; everyone had their own lives, and these kinds of actions were merely a formality, punishing only those with questionable behavior. But the kind of indiscriminate, arbitrary accusations in the city, where people are simply judged as such, and the chaos is so dramatic, is something they genuinely don't understand, yet they can't do anything about it.
You can't fight city hall, especially since they're not even arms.
Little Peach Blossom hid in her father's arms, surrounded by increasingly loud scolding. Although Lin Guangsheng covered his daughter's ears, she could still hear the curses.
She wanted to see it, but how could Lin Guangsheng let his daughter see such a mess?
"dad……"
"Mmm." Lin Guangsheng squatted down and hugged his daughter.
"What's going on outside? Why are there so many shouts?" The little baby voice was confused and didn't understand anything.
Lin Guangsheng paused for a moment and then explained to his daughter, "Because they are all sick."
"Are you both sick? Do you need Little Peach Blossom to give you acupuncture?"
"No, they are seriously ill. Acupuncture cannot cure them, and no one can cure them."
"Is it that serious? Little Peach Blossom can give it a try."
"But they themselves have given up on treatment."
"I see. Then I won't get treatment."
"Okay, let's wait a little longer. We'll go back when there are fewer people."
"Mmm." Little Peach Blossom grabbed Lin Guangsheng's clothes.
Actually, she was a little scared; this was the first time Xiao Taohua had experienced so many insults all at once.
Lin Guangsheng sensed it and regretted bringing his daughter along. He wished he had come alone. He could only keep patting his daughter's back and saying, "Daddy's here, Little Peach Blossom isn't afraid."
"Mmm." Little Peach Blossom snuggled against Lin Guangsheng's chest, then snuggled against him again.
Lin Guangsheng's eyes were only for his daughter; he didn't care what was happening outside.
Just then, the crowd suddenly became noisy again.
"You've all gone mad! You'll be punished by heaven for this!"
"Tie him up for me!"
"Let me go!"
"You've got some nerve causing trouble at a time like this, kid!"
"Let me go!"
"Let him go? Since he dared to come, let's all go together. Take him with us, all of us!"
"You will all die a horrible death! You heartless bastards!"
"Go ahead and say it, keep going if you dare, let's see who dies faster, you or us. Oh, you'll definitely die faster. Haha!"
The man who was tied up was in tears, and he was trembling with anger as he looked at the staggering old man in the crowd.
But there was nothing he could do but keep cursing.
The old man's numb eyes were filled with deep despair. Why did I come? Why did I come?
However, it was all too late to undo the damage.
"Haha, come on, all you dissatisfied people, come on, let's go together, haha! Anyone dissatisfied, come on!" The man's arrogant voice was so clear in the crowd that some people couldn't bear to look away, while others sang along with him, their faces full of excitement.
Crazy, everyone is crazy.
Even if someone stands up to uphold justice, no one will listen.
Because most people think this concept of justice is a joke, nonsense.
"Looks like no one's here. Since no one's here, let's continue! Hurry up! Are you about to die? You have no strength left!" The man pushed the old man and saw the angry face of the one who had been picking a fight earlier. He was delighted and continued pushing. Seeing the old man fall down again and again, the man became even more excited, his eyes turning red.
"You are sinners, and we are the fair judges. These people are all guilty! Do not show fearless sympathy to sinners! Treat sinners as you would your most ruthless enemies!"
"Yes, they are all sinners! Sinners!"
“Serves you right!”
"Ah!" The person who started the trouble finally found an opportunity to pounce on the laughing person, opened his mouth, and bit the person hard!
"Ah! Let go! Let go of me! Someone come quick! Pull this person away! Pull him away!"
"Captain Lu, Captain Lu, what's wrong with you? Let go!" Everyone rushed forward, and seeing that the man was biting tightly, some people started hitting him, hitting his head and body. Soon the man was covered in blood, but he was still biting the so-called Captain Lu tightly!
The man who bit him had bloodshot eyes and was covered in blood. He stared intently at Captain Lu. Captain Lu was afraid for a moment, but then he was furious. This thing had actually hurt him. It was unforgivable. "Beat him! Beat him to death! Ah! Quickly, help me get him off the hook!"
"Captain Lu, this kid's got a tight grip!"
"beat!"
"Yes, yes, keep hitting!"
Some people in the crowd couldn't bear to watch any longer. The old man, seeing his grandson being beaten again and again, finally couldn't hold back any longer and lunged forward: "I'm not going to live anyway, I'll fight you all today!" His only remaining family was his grandson; if his grandson was beaten to death, what hope would he have left?!
If we have nothing left, then we'll try to pull one person out of the rest.
The weak and submissive began to rebel, and after the first one, a second one followed. Then, everyone who had been tied up and dragged into the street began to rebel, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.
After all, these people were all going all in; they didn't expect to survive from the start.
Besides, they didn't want to live anymore.
Why continue living like this?
