Although Zhou Anan was extremely reluctant to part with Zhou Pingping, it was ultimately due to Zhou Pingping's own willfulness. It was unfair to let Su Man sacrifice herself for her.
Zhou Anan raised his head with red eyes. Even though it was extremely difficult, he still said, "Aunt, let's go. We don't want Pingping anymore."
Hearing this, Su Man was shocked for a moment.
She knew how important Zhou Pingping was to Zhou Anan. Su Man was surprised and touched that Zhou Anan could say such words.
Su Man's brows softened, and she lowered her head and hugged Zhou An'an tightly, "Don't worry, An'an, auntie will come back."
"Aunt..."
"Don't worry, little brother Zhou, I'll go with Aunt Zhou!" Wang Tiedan's voice was extremely clear and full of the passion of a young man.
Su Man thought Wang Tiedan was joking. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old. How could he have the courage to break into a bandit's lair?
But Wang Tiedan was actually serious, "Aunt Zhou, I learned Kung Fu from the master, I will definitely be able to help."
"this..."
Su Man hesitated. Wang Tiedan's father, Wang the Blacksmith, also stepped forward, holding an axe. "We'll go with you, so we can look after you."
Su Man had heard before that Wang the blacksmith's wife and daughter were abducted by bandits, so he must have hated bandits extremely.
Wang the Blacksmith saw that Su Man didn't want to take them, and said calmly, "Even if you don't take us, we will go anyway."
When Su Man heard "OK", she thought to herself, why should she continue to insist? She packed up and set off.
Before leaving, Zhou Anan took off a small gourd from her neck and said, "Aunt, this is what my father left for me. He said that this gourd can protect me. You take it with you and make sure you come back safely!"
Su Man lowered her head and let Zhou An'an hang the gourd around her neck. She held the small gourd and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back."
-
At this moment, it was completely dark, with only the village lights on.
Next to the campfire, the bandits grabbed the villagers one by one and threw them on the ground like chicks.
"Damn it! I actually stole it from a bandit."
Aunt Wang Liu's family was the first to be discovered because when she was hiding, she still remembered to hold the rice bag, and the rice bag had a broken corner, which was basically pointing the way to the bandits.
The terrified Aunt Wang Liu held her head and trembled like a sieve, "Please... please let us go, sir, we won't dare to do it again..."
"Okay."
The bandit smiled cruelly, "I'll let you go if you can just cut off your arms and legs."
"What!"
Aunt Wang Liu was frightened. Wang Fu, who was standing by, was so frightened by the blood-stained scimitar that he thought the bandits were going to kill him, so he pushed the people around him away and ran away.
"I won't stay here anymore. I don't want to die. I don't want to die!"
How could the bandits tolerate Wang Fu escaping under their noses? They grabbed him by the back of his collar and killed him without hesitation.
Wang Fu fell to the ground without even having a chance to struggle.
"Fuer!"
Aunt Wang Liu screamed at the top of her lungs. She rushed forward to fight the bandits, but was frightened back by the bandits' sharp knives.
"If you keep yelling, I'll kill your whole family."
"Fu'er..."
Aunt Wang Liu beat her chest and cried bitterly. She had already lost Fu'er and could not lose the eldest brother again.
To save her life, she knelt before the bandits and said, "Master, please let my family go. I can tell you where the others are hiding."
Before the bandits could ask, Aunt Wang Liu spoke up, "There's someone on that tree over there, and also in the firewood pile over there!"
Some bandits responded and went to look for him, and sure enough, they found the person.
The villagers who were caught were furious. "Aunt Wang Liu, you evil-hearted woman, you will die a miserable death!"
At this critical moment of life and death, Aunt Wang Liu didn't care anymore. "Why are we being caught while you can hide safely? I will expose you!"
Seeing them fighting each other, the bandit leader actually saw some fun in it and put away his machete.
Aunt Wang Liu thought she had a chance of survival, so she confessed everything, including the people from Wangjia Village who had escaped. "We are from the same village. There are still many people in the village. They took the things and ran away first. They have women, cattle, and food. Uncle, go and catch them. You will definitely be able to bring them back!"
When the bandit heard this, his eyes popped up, "How many people are there?"
"There are at least fifty or sixty people!" Aunt Wang Liu told everything she knew, wishing she could say everyone's name.
The bandit leader hesitated for a moment and said, "Send a few people to check it out. If you find their whereabouts, come back and tell me immediately."
"What about these people?" asked the younger brother.
Aunt Wang Liu trembled and dared not speak, her eyes rolling around in a gurgling manner.
The bandit pointed at Aunt Wang Liu and said, "They are a family."
Aunt Wang Liu's heart was pounding. Was he going to let them go?
Of course she did. After saying so much, the bandits would definitely remember her contribution.
But the next second, the bandit's words made her feel like she was in an ice cellar, "Kill the whole family."
"What!"
Aunt Wang Liu collapsed. "Grandpa, I've told you everything I can. You can't do this. You can't... uh..."
The sound stopped abruptly, and Aunt Wang Liu fell to the ground with blood gushing from her chest.
It is no exaggeration to say that the following scene was hell on earth. Villagers were killed or injured, and the sounds of screams, cries, and hideous laughter were heard everywhere.
...
Zhou Pingping, hiding in the livestock shed, bit her fist and cried silently, her tears and snot mixed into a ball.
At this moment, she finally understood what true evil was.
It was bloody and extremely cruel, and you would never forget it after just one look.
