Chapter 6, Can you fulfill my wish?
No matter how calm he seemed, Ming Hai was just a nine-year-old child after all. After hearing the words "soldier, killing, and burial", the blood on his face faded away.
After personally burying his grandmother and setting up a tomb for his parents, he understood what death was better than other children.
Assassination is far away, but death is very close.
Minghai opened his mouth, but not a word came out.
The village chief knew that he was frightened. This was something that a nine-year-old child should not bear. But now that there was no one in the Ming family, he could only tell the complete information that he knew and confirmed no matter how much he couldn't bear it.
Minghai.
"At that time, two colleagues from Hujia Village in Pingnan County and Zhangjia Village in Zhenchuan County were among those who killed the Wu thieves with your parents."
"Now the two comrades' family, totaling ten people including young and old, have all suffered."
"The people in Hujia Village, Pingnan County, suffered the disaster half a month ago, and the people in Zhangjia Village, Zhenchuan County, suffered the disaster five days ago."
"When something happened to the first family, the local government had no clue because the killing method was clean and very professional. It seemed that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended. But the family was old and young and they usually didn't even leave the village.
Where can I mess with the wrong people?"
"It wasn't until the news came that the comrade was killed in battle that the government wondered whether it might be related to the Wu thief."
It was actually more than a month ago when Minghai's parents and the two comrades died in the battle.
Because of the tight war situation, shortage of personnel, and slow work in all aspects, Minghai did not receive the news that his father and mother were killed in the war until ten days ago.
"Five days ago, something happened to the family in Zhangjia Village, Zhenchuan County. The killing method was exactly the same as that in Hujia Village, Pingnan County. The government checked the list of those killed in battle and their military exploits, and then determined that the deaths of these two families were related to the Wu thief general."
"The Zhenchuan County Magistrate quickly sent someone to inform our Lord County Magistrate, and then we learned the news."
I don't know if it was because he stood in the wind for a long time, but Minghai's face became paler.
He clenched his fists and said in a dry voice, "Village chief, can I send my younger brothers and sisters away?"
He is the eldest son and the head of the family, so let him bear the responsibility alone.
The village chief had a sore nose, "After General Wu learned about the death of his only son, he tortured the prisoners severely, and he had already found out clearly the situation in your parents' home."
"You want to use your own life to kill the hatred of the Wu thief general, but I'm afraid it won't work."
Minghai felt a wave of despair in his heart. Within ten days, both his parents and grandmother were dead, and there was only a little food left in the family. He still didn’t know how to survive the winter. Finally, his sickly sister got better, but now the whole family was facing a tragic death.
desperate situation.
He, the eldest brother, the head of the family, could not do anything.
"Don't worry too much. The county magistrate has arranged for four police officers to patrol here from time to time." The village chief comforted him against his will.
He knew very well in his heart that since the Wu thief general wanted to bury the Ming family members who killed his only son, the soldiers he sent to die were by no means ordinary people.
Even if the four police officers lived in Minghai's house, they would not be able to save the four Minghai brothers and sisters if dead men came to visit, let alone just patrolling.
But there are only twelve police officers in the county government, and they only send four to one village. The county magistrate already takes them very seriously, but the disparity in strength is too big.
"I wrote a letter to the former commander of Shangfeng to see if he could send two people over." The village chief added.
When the village chief retired from the battlefield, he was a centurion and had a good relationship with the commander. He had never asked the commander for anything. If it was an ordinary matter, he believed that the commander would definitely help, but this matter was extraordinary.
The main reason is that the dead soldiers are not ordinary people. They will not give up until they achieve their goals. Unless the captain takes action personally, there may be a chance to protect the four brothers and sisters of Minghai. However, the battle on the front line is tight, where can the captain get out?
The village chief knew that this was probably a dead end, but he just wrote the letter with the idea of treating a dead horse as a living horse, telling Minghai that he just wanted to comfort him.
Minghai was really comforted. After all, he was just a nine-year-old child who had never been to a town.
Minghai's father and mother are very powerful. The village chief and Grandma Luo are the only centurions in several nearby villages. Minghai thinks that his father and mother are the most powerful. The village chief is more powerful than his father and mother, and the chief of thousands is more powerful than the village chief. The chief of thousands is more powerful than the village chief.
The person sent by the chief must be an extremely powerful person.
The fear and despair in his heart did not dissipate, but he finally felt like he saw a glimmer of light.
The village chief added: "I will tell Grandpa Mute and ask him to go to your house more."
Grandpa Mute is a mute. He is sixty years old. He is one of the rare people who has returned from the battlefield in good health. He is not a local. He was a comrade-in-arms with Grandma Luo at first, and later he became a comrade-in-arms with the village chief.
In the battle where the village chief lost his right arm, it was Grandpa Mute who desperately carried him out, allowing the village chief to save his life but lose one arm.
Grandpa Mute had no relatives, so the village chief was grateful to him for protecting him with his life and said that he would provide for him until he died. So Grandpa Mute came here and built a thatched house at the head of the village.
"Thank you, Mr. Village Chief." Minghai bowed deeply, "I will definitely protect my brothers and sisters."
"I can't help much either." The village chief's throat tightened, "Go back."
His abilities are limited, and he has done everything he can say and do. As for the outcome, it can only depend on God's will.
——
Luo Shitou was forced by the village chief to apologize to Mingying. He sobbed and reluctantly walked up to Mingying. The two brothers Mingtao and Mingze stared at him eagerly.
"Mingying, yes..."
Mingying suddenly interrupted him, "Luo Xiaopang, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Luo Shitou was wary, "I'm going to apologize to you, what else do you want to say?"
"If you come here with me, I won't ask you to apologize." Ming Ying said.
Luo Shitou hesitated for a moment. He was a man, and he was apologizing to a little girl who was about to die. This was so shameless, with so many people watching!
"Then you must keep your word!"
Ming Ying said: "It's the puppy that doesn't count!"
The children took their oaths very seriously. Luo Shitou felt relieved and asked, "Where are you going?"
Mingying asked two brothers, Mingtao and Mingze, to wait for her here, "I'll go under the tree over there and have a few words with Luo Xiaopang alone, okay?"
She just asked in a normal tone, but her voice was soft and thin, sounding like she was being coquettish.
The two brothers couldn't resist, they showed exactly the same silly smiles, like chickens pecking at rice, "Okay, let's wait for my sister here."
Luo Shitou followed Mingying to the tree, "Luo Xiaopang, do you have a silver collar or a longevity lock?" Mingying asked.
Luo Shitou's eyes widened, "What are you planning!? That will be left to my son when I marry a wife and have a son!"
That’s it!
After understanding the urinary properties of the touch system, Mingying thought about where to touch some valuable things and accumulate enough points to unlock the system's functions.
After walking around the village, she found that adults and children were all wearing patched clothes. Mingying thought that even if she touched them all, she would probably be able to accumulate dozens of points.
After Luo Shitou appeared, Mingying suddenly had an idea.
Generally speaking, the village chief's family must be the richest in the village. Grandma Luo had a silver bracelet. Mingying wondered if Luo Shitou had any necklaces or longevity locks made of silver? That's why they have it.
Just asked a question.
Luo Shitou was as excited as a little rooster who only wanted to fight, "I will not marry you! You are so ugly, I will never marry you even if I die! You can't even think of trying to trick me!"
This little fat guy is really weak!
Mingying gritted her teeth. As a killer in modern times, she also has her own principles for killing people, such as not killing the elderly and children.
Now she had the urge to kill Luo Shitou.
"Luo Xiaofat," Mingying lowered her head and pretended to be pitiful, "you said I was going to die. I have never touched anything made of silver in my whole life. Can you let me touch your silver collar?"
