Chapter 272: Outsmarting Black Three
Hei San ran over and shook Hei Si gently, but saw that he didn't respond and his eyes were closed.
He gently felt the other person's breath and found that there was still a faint breath. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But he soon realized the seriousness of the problem. Hei Si would definitely not be able to walk like this. How could he send the child away by himself?
Hei San angrily kicked Hei Si who was lying on the ground, "Tell me, have you sworn too many poisonous oaths? Even a thunderbolt from the sky can strike you. If I hadn't seen a strange phenomenon in the sky, these little bastards would have really gotten away."
Although Hei Si was unconscious, he was still conscious. After being kicked by Hei San, he grunted but could not move.
At the same time, people in the county town were already feeling uneasy.
As the saying goes, when there is thunder in winter, nine out of ten fences are empty.
The thunder struck without any warning, and the noise was so loud, and the astronomical phenomenon was very unusual.
In the past, even if there was thunder, it would always be accompanied by rain and snow. It had never been like this time. When the sky was clear, it was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Moreover, the lightning obviously fell in one place. After a few strikes, the clouds cleared and the sun came out.
"It's not a good sign that something strange is happening today." An elderly man walked out of the door with a cane and started talking to his neighbors.
"I have never seen such a situation. Do you have any explanation for this, Auntie?" The other woman was younger and also had an expression of surprise on her face.
"I have only seen thunder in winter once when I was a child. That year, almost all the cattle on our border were dying because of rinderpest. Cows died every day, and we were not allowed to eat the dead bodies. They were burned on the spot immediately. I still remember that there were two cows in our village at that time, and the smell of the roasted meat made me cry." The old woman, leaning on her crutches, was lost in deep memories.
"Aunt, you don't mean that there will be another outbreak of rinderpest, do you?" The woman looked terrified. Her family had just bought a cow. If it got infected with rinderpest, wouldn't that be a waste of ten taels of silver?
The old woman shook her head. "It's hard to say. I remember that year there was no snow in the whole winter. When it thundered that day, it rained heavily, followed by lightning and thunder. It was like God was angry. After the rain stopped, cattle plague broke out. The old people said that the rain must have brought the plague from somewhere else."
The young woman looked up at the sky and saw that it was still sunny and there was no sign of rain.
"Aunt, do you think this thunder will strike bad people? Those who swear to be struck by five thunderbolts, do you think this is a special punishment for them?"
The old woman smiled and waved her hands. "It would be great if it were true. God has punished the bad guys without bringing the plague."
Regardless of the situation, this strange phenomenon has attracted discussion and attention from people all over the county. Some curious people have already run towards the abandoned house to take a look at the excitement.
Wan Laoer also saw the direction where the lightning struck. He felt that this strange phenomenon must be related to Xiao Fubao. He couldn't help but quicken his pace. Maybe his daughter was trapped there.
At this time, the beggar was frightened and pointed in the direction of the thunder and said, "The place where the lightning struck just now is the direction of the abandoned house."
"Hurry, that trafficker is bound to be exposed now, go and stop him before they move to another location."
The beggar also quickened his pace and took a few people to run towards the abandoned house in twists and turns.
At this time Heisan also realized the seriousness of the problem. If he didn't move quickly, this place would soon be surrounded by people, and he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
When Hei San thought of this, he no longer cared about Hei Si. He walked a few steps to the group of children, wanting to load them all on the carriage and prepare to return to the previous house. Anyway, the old man had been killed and he had no relatives. No one should find the place for a while. As long as he was not exposed, Hei Si would be safe. It would be the same after he settled these kids and then came to pick up Hei Si.
Thinking of this, Heisan no longer hesitated and prepared to jump over Wanhu to catch the little boy behind him.
The little boy has discovered that the Wanhu seems to be the largest here, and Wanhu is also protecting them at this time. The little boy has just been thrown to the ground and has not recovered yet, so he quickly shrinks behind Wanhu.
Wan Hu also subconsciously protected the little boy. He spread his arms and stood in front, but he kept muttering in his heart: Grandma said that if I protect my sister well, he will be fine. Grandma said that if I protect my sister well, he will be fine.
Wan Hu repeated it several times, as if he was brainwashing himself, but it did have a great effect. At least he was not so scared psychologically, and it seemed that the man in front of him was not invincible. Just now he thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that the bad guy who wanted to kill them would be struck by thunder.
At this time, Wan Hu felt that this bad guy would definitely not have a good ending.
He raised his little head firmly and looked at Heisan.
Heisan grabbed Wanhu and threw him to the ground. Wanhu's hands were immediately covered in blood.
"You little brat, don't you know your own weight? You are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, do you know that?"
When Heisan saw Wanhu trying to get up from the ground, he turned around and kicked Wanhu hard in the butt. Wanhu screamed in pain.
Little Fubao rushed over again like a small cannonball. With the experience from last time, this time Little Fubao directly grabbed Heisan's hand hanging by his side and bit it.
This time, Xiao Fubao used all his strength and treated Heisan's hand as braised pork. He bit and tore it, and even bitten it until it bled.
Hei San wanted to get rid of Xiao Fubao, but Xiao Fubao had learned his lesson this time. He held onto one of Hei San's legs tightly like an octopus, and used his little body as a weight to push his little butt down hard. Hei San failed to throw him off in one go.
Wan Hu also struggled to get up from the ground. Seeing his sister trying so hard to save him, he bent down and picked up the dagger that was struck by lightning in Hei Si's hand. He gritted his teeth and ran over, stabbing Hei San's other leg. Wan Hu immediately pulled out the dagger, and blood splashed all over his face. He was also shocked, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Heisan screamed in pain, and Wanhu panicked and quickly took Xiao Fubao and ran to the side. The children huddled together again. Everyone was a little afraid of Heisan at this time. They knew that they were definitely not strong enough to defeat Heisan.
"Everyone, run quickly. Spread out and run all over the yard. Don't let him catch you. I'll open the door in a moment. Everyone, run out if you can."
While Heisan was limping towards him, Wanhu quickly used a dagger to help untie the children. The dagger that had been struck by lightning seemed to be even sharper. Wanhu only needed to cut with force and the rope broke.
Soon the children scattered and ran around in the yard. Although they were all young, there were two older children, about the same age as Wan Hu, and they were able to reach the bolt of the gate.
Heisan's current goal is to capture Wanhu and Xiaofubao, brother and sister, so the other children have a chance to escape.
Little Fubao was too young and chubby, and he was wearing thick clothes, so he couldn't move his short legs at all. Before he could run a few steps, Heisan grabbed him by the collar from behind and lifted him up by his feet.
Wan Hu was furious when he saw this, and was about to charge forward with the dagger in hand. Hei San immediately put his hand on Xiao Fubao's neck and threatened Wan Hu: "Give me the dagger right now, and I will let your sister live, otherwise I will strangle her to death."
Wan Hu hesitated for a moment, and saw that Heisan's hands had already started to exert force. Xiao Fubao's face had begun to turn red, and his two little feet, wearing a pair of tiger-head shoes, were kicking wildly in the air.
Wan Hu was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe and quickly threw the dagger far away.
"I'm throwing away the dagger now, please let my sister go."
Wan Hu was quite smart. He did not give the dagger to Hei San, but threw the dagger far away so that the other party could not hurt him with the dagger.
