Chapter 25 Injury
"Hey! Why are you cutting our crops for no reason? You haven't stopped yet!" Chen Mo brought Ah-Dai and the others closer. Looking at the group of neat men cutting the crops, he raised the stick in his hand and shouted.
"..."
The man in the field just glanced this way and saw a group of children and ignored them.
"Brother Ergou, what...what should I do?" Dui held the stick and was a little scared, but this was his family's crop, and he felt very anxious when he saw these people harvesting it unscrupulously.
Chen Mo turned around and looked around. Everyone was a little scared and didn't dare to step forward. Not to mention them, Chen Mo himself was also a little scared. After thinking about it, he said: "Don't be afraid, look at me!"
After saying that, he took off the short bow on his back and pulled out a wooden arrow. After estimating the distance, he pointed the wooden arrow directly upward, bent the bow and set the arrow, pulled the bow string to the maximum and let go.
"Whoops~" The wooden arrow roared over a dozen steps and landed on a man's hip.
"Ouch~" The wooden arrows shot by this kind of short bow actually don't have much power after more than ten steps, but they can still break the defense of people. The man was caught off guard and was shot by an arrow.
My butt hurt, and when I reached out and touched a handful of blood, I jumped up with a cry, and looked at the group of children with an unkind look on my face.
"Who shot it?" The man came out of the field and looked at everyone with an unkind expression. His gloomy face made him look like he wanted to eat someone.
A group of children couldn't help but take a few steps back and looked at Chen Mo.
"..."
Chen Mo put the bow on his back, held the stick and said, "It's me, who are you, and why are you here to cut our crops!"
"Have you ever heard of the Taiping Sect?" The man said something he didn't quite understand, but Chen Mo had heard too many words about the Taiping Sect during this period.
"Brother Ergou, my mother said that these Taiping Sect people are not easy to mess with." Gou Sheng came to Chen Mo and whispered.
"That has to be reasonable!" Chen Mo took a few deep breaths and summoned up the courage to say: "We have already agreed that we will give you food after the autumn harvest. Now that you have harvested our crops, what will happen then?"
The man kicked Chen Mo irritably: "What nonsense, I'm going to cut it off today, what are you going to do?"
Chen Mo was startled when he saw this, and was suffocated by the opponent's momentum, and instinctively hid back.
"Baby, how dare you hide?" The man was angry at Chen Mo for shooting him in the butt. Seeing Chen Mo resisting him like this, he felt angry and took a step forward to catch Chen Mo.
"Why don't you dare!?" Chen Mo was scared and hit him with the stick in his hand.
"Pa~" The man stretched out his hand and the stick hit him, but nothing happened. Instead, he snatched the stick away with his backhand. Although Chen Mo practiced stick skills well, he suffered the disadvantage of his young age and his strength was too weak.
The stick didn't hurt or itch, but the opponent took the stick away from him.
"Run!" Chen Mo was startled and shouted. When he turned around to look, he saw a group of friends had already scattered and ran away. His chest suddenly stagnated and he rolled and crawled back.
"Run!" The man laughed ferociously and strode towards Chen Mo.
Chen Mo gritted his teeth, took off his short bow while running, pulled out a wooden arrow from his quiver, turned around and shot.
In panic, Chen Mo never thought that the arrow would hit. He just wanted to scare the other party, but unexpectedly, the wooden arrow accurately hit the other party's eyeball.
Phew~
"Ah~my eyes~"
With a muffled sound, Chen Mo ran away, but the man's shrill screams came from behind. When he looked back, he saw the man covering his eyes with one hand, and blood kept pouring out from between his fingers. He looked particularly terrifying.
.
Killed someone?
Chen Mo looked at the man rolling on the ground, a little confused, and sat down on the ground, his head was buzzing, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Third brother!" The man who was cutting crops over there rushed out when he heard the noise. Looking at the men rolling around on the ground, their expressions changed drastically.
"Brother Ergou, run!" Dui dragged the stick to Chen Mo, pulled Chen Mo up whose legs were weak, turned around and ran away.
"What a little beast, how dare you hurt someone!?" A man with an unusually strong physique saved the injured man and examined him. He became furious and rushed towards Chen Mo with a sickle in his hand: "Pay for my brother's life!"
"It's you who are being unreasonable and stealing our crops!" Chen Mo also came to his senses at this time and retorted loudly, but his whole body felt weak and his voice was trembling. He didn't sound very impressive, and even felt more like the party who was in the wrong.
The big man obviously wasn't prepared to reason with Chen Mo. He took a few steps forward and wanted to make a move.
"Hey~"
There was a scream in the air, and a sharp arrow was shot less than five steps in front of the man, followed by many people running towards this side. The leader was another younger hunter. Just now
The arrow was obviously shot by him.
"Uncle Yang!" Ah-Dai shouted excitedly when he saw the person coming. Several hunters in the village were good friends and were close to each other. Ah-Dai was more familiar with these hunters.
"Who are you from?" Uncle Yang rushed over first and looked at these people with a frown. He heard someone coming to steal crops before and thought they were from a nearby farm, but now he saw some unfamiliar faces and couldn't help but frown.
.
"What does it have to do with you? Your people shot my brother's eyes out!" The burly man saw a group of people coming, but he was not afraid and took a step forward and said fiercely.
"They came to steal my crops. Brother Ergou told them not to listen. He shot an arrow. The man came and beat Brother Ergou. He also took Brother Ergou's stick and was shot by Brother Ergou with an arrow.
Eyes." Seeing the villagers coming, a group of children suddenly became more courageous and shouted loudly one by one.
"Foreigners, it's you who are at fault first." Uncle Yang frowned and said, "Leave quickly."
"Hey, how do you count children's words?" The man sneered and said, "We were just passing by!"
"Then what's going on with those crops? Do you think I'm blind?" Uncle Zhang and others who followed behind each carried farm tools and looked at this group of people with unkind expressions.
"Who knows?" The strong man smiled disdainfully: "Anyway, you hurt my brother today. It's not okay if you don't give me an explanation."
"Then go see the official." Li Zheng, leaning on a cane and panting, came out of the crowd, looked at the sickles in those people's hands, then looked at Chen Mo, and said lightly: "I don't think you, a strong man, have been raped.
If anyone believes that a child was shot and injured, then it is true. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, anyone under the age of eight will not be convicted, and the government will not accept the case."
"This kid is so tall, you said he is less than eight years old?" The strong man glanced at Chen Mo and said angrily.
"Yes, everyone here can testify!" Satomasa said calmly: "Also, judging from your accent, you should be from the Jiangdong area. Do you have any paperwork to do here?"
When the strong man heard this, his face turned a little dark: "We are all Taiping believers, and we are here on the orders of the great sage and good master."
"What a coincidence. I have some friendship with the great virtuous master's disciple Lei Gong, and I have agreed to give him a sum of grain as a gift after the autumn harvest. Why are you here to grab the crops at this time?" Li Zheng leaned on crutches and looked at him.
These are humane.
Lei Gong is well-known in this area and is one of the disciples of the great virtuous master. The strong man obviously knew this and became a little weak after hearing this: "But how do you count the things you hurt people?"
"It's just an accidental injury. Or you can go with me to the Xiaqiu County Government Office to see the official and see how the Xiaqiu Order will be judged?" Li Zheng asked unhurriedly: "Of course, I can give you some coins, because
He heals wounds."
"Brother, what should I do?" A group of men were a little panicked. They didn't have any paperwork and were not justified. If they were to go before the judge, they would be sent back no matter what the sentence was.
"It's important, let's go." The strong man glared at Chen Mo fiercely, asked someone to help the injured man, turned around and left.
