Kong Zhongwu was in a daze, as if he was in a dream. He didn't know where he was. He was surrounded by darkness. Tiredness and pain hit his heart. Kong Zhongwu groaned in a low voice, but there was no sound in his ears. He could only hear his heartbeat.
He took a few deep breaths. The air was turbid and choked his nose. It was full of the smell of rot and dirt. It seemed to be a vegetable cellar.
After he came to his senses, there was a burst of pain in the back of his head. His early experience in the streets told him that he seemed to have been hit by a stick … Then he remembered that not long ago, he decided to take action with his companions to take the fainted farmer away. Then his memory was broken. When he opened his eyes again, he was already hanging here.
It was really retribution … He thought.
Yesterday, in order to seize the He Family's inherited martial arts, he had secretly kidnapped the He Family's Patriarch, hung him up, and tortured him. Who would have thought that one day later, he would suffer retribution. But who was the person who had captured him?
In an instant, his heart was cold. He thought of the most terrible possibility, and a strong sense of regret came to his mind. It was really a trap!
What was waiting for him …
"Excellent, excellent."
At this moment, a complacent voice suddenly sounded in the darkness. "Although I didn't catch the culprit, there's a pleasant surprise … Hahahaha, when I was the number one fishing king at dawn, the number of electricity thieves that I killed could fill up the four courtyards of Linyi. Today, I'm just showing off my skills. I set up a small trap and caught two stupid thieves. It's clear that the people of Lu Town are very simple …"
The fire lit up, illuminating a smiling face. Kong Zhongwu saw it and was relieved. It was the man who set up the arena in Lu Town and took Fourth Sister-in-law Dan away. If it was him, then at least …
As soon as this idea came to his mind, he saw the man in front of him waving his hand, "Well, the one on the left, take ten pounds of meat and cut it carefully to make mincemeat. Don't leave any fat in it. The one on the right, take ten pounds of meat and cut it carefully to make mincemeat. Don't leave any fat in it.
After you're done, remember to hang the rest on the tree. I want to feed Brother Triangle. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman appeared behind him. She was tall and had a heroic appearance. She held a boning knife in her hand. Narrowing her eyes slightly, Kong Zhongwu felt a terrifying cold murderous intent rush towards him, as if he was being stared at by a cruel and vicious wolf. This was a shiver that came from the depths of his soul. As a cultivator, his Divine Sense told him that this was a powerful enemy that he could not face.
Kong Zhongwu was just about to speak when a deafening shout came from the side, "Spare me, hero!
Spare my life, hero!
My meat doesn't taste good! "
So it was Xie Agui. He had also woken up and tactfully begged for mercy loudly. Sun Lang smiled as he took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "You called me a hero, but you must be cursing me as a grandson in your heart. Speak, who is the grandson?"
Xie Agui was skinny, and his small eyes were shining brightly. When he heard Sun Lang's words, he was slightly startled at first, but then he immediately put on a smiling face. "Grandpa, grandpa, I'm Sun Tzu, I'm Zongzhi, Zongzhi, okay?"
Sun Lang nodded: "Well, you're the first person to belittle yourself. Apart from belittling yourself, you're the first. Isn't the champion also the first?
Is that what you think? "
Xie Agui opened his mouth wide: "You … you …"
Sun Lang ignored him and sized up the two of them. He smiled and said, "Do the two of you recognize me?
I've been looking for you for a long time … "
Kong Zhongwu was not a scoundrel. Now that Sister-in-law Dan and Runtu were here, it was meaningless to desperately deny his identity. On the contrary, he would be looked down upon by them. He sighed deeply: "I'm Kong Zhongwu, and this is … Young Hero Zhou?
Now that we've fallen into your hands, we've accepted it. You can kill us or torture us as you wish. Just ask for instructions. "
Sun Lang nodded: "You two are in Lu Town, and the people are boiling with resentment. When people talk about you, they are willing to eat your flesh … I'm thinking, in fact, there's no need to torture you. I only need to abolish your martial arts, and then throw you on the street. Can you imagine what will happen?"
Not to mention Xie Agui, even Kong Zhongwu, who was quite shrewd, could not help but slightly change his expression.
They used to be at the bottom of the society. They were used to being looked down upon and bullied, and they also knew how terrible the malice of the weak was. Therefore, once they gained power, they naturally retaliated even more fiercely against those who used to bully them … But all this was based on the foundation they had now — powerful martial arts.
Then, if they suddenly lost all this, it would be like waking up from a beautiful dream, and they fell into the quagmire again. How would those who used to flatter and revere them treat them?
When they thought of such a scene, they could not help but shiver fiercely. Fear and resistance flashed in their eyes. They turned their heads and looked at each other. They saw bitterness and determination in each other's eyes — they would rather commit suicide than go back to the days when they were better off dead, even if it meant that they had become slaves to power.
Sun Lang clapped his hands and nodded: "I can see that you're afraid, because your martial arts is the foundation of your life. It's the source of all your achievements and self-confidence. Such a thing as power is really the most wonderful thing in the world … But once you lose it, what do you have?
I'm afraid only crazy revenge. Those who have been bullied and hurt by you will pay back everything you've done to them in double … "
His tone was faint, deep and low. He said lightly: "So, if you were given another chance, would you still hurt the people of Lu Town?"
This question stunned the two at the same time. Kong Zhongwu and Xie Agui looked at each other again. They saw the surprise and faint … disdain in each other's eyes.
Kong Zhongwu did not speak much, but his mind turned very quickly. The key to this question was not to say the answer in his heart, but to say the answer that the other party wanted to hear … Listening to his tone, he was just standing on the moral high ground with the strength of a victor. He was preaching some useless and meaningless principles to satisfy his own moral vanity. In short, he hoped that he could "repent". So, the correct answer should be …
He raised his head. Sorrow, regret, and guilt appeared on his face. Obviously, as an actor, he was successful. Tears gradually appeared in his eyes. He said softly: "I …"
"Of course I will!"
Such a loud and clear voice shouted out, but it did not come from his mouth. Kong Zhongwu was shocked for a moment. Then, he suddenly turned around with an expression that said: "Are you a f * cking idiot?"
Xie Agui gasped for breath. His eyes flashed with the madness and determination of a gambler. Facing Sun Lang's unfathomable gaze, he said fiercely: "If I were to do it again, I would also show off in front of them like this!
Show off in front of them!
Show off what they don't have!
Steal what they have!
Those people, who are they? What kind of good people are they?
Wrong, wrong, most of them are not good people. The reason why they appear kind and friendly in front of you is because they don't have the power to do evil!
Their malice will only be directed at people who are weaker than them!
For example, me in the past, for example, him in the past! "
He twisted his body so hard that his hanging body was constantly swaying in the air. Xie A 'Gui stared at Sun Lang and said sternly, "If you kill us today, the people of Lu Town will of course clap their hands and celebrate!
But what do you think it is?
Is it because Lu Town got rid of two scourges?
No, no, what they are happy about is that people who have more power, money, and ability than them have suffered!
When the Lu Family collapsed, they were also happy!
Today we died, they will also be happy!
Tomorrow, when the He Family and Liang Family die, they will also be happy!
They are just watching the show, a group of people who are numb like pigs and dogs! "
As if he was venting the dissatisfaction that had accumulated in his heart for decades, he roared crazily: "What a laughable group of stupid pigs!
After I took down Zhao Si, they all went from being disdainful in the past to welcoming me with smiles. Hahahaha, what were they expecting?
Expecting me to be one of those heroes in the dramas?
Dividing the land and wealth of the landlords and village tyrants equally to the poor villagers?
Fuck your mother!
You were the one who bullied me!
You were the one who laughed at me!
You were not the one who helped you take down Zhao Si!
But in the end, you were the one who gathered together to share the benefits!
Who the fuck do you think you are!?
If you want land, if you want money, why don't you go steal it yourself!
Why don't you go get it yourself?
Waiting for the charity of the strong for a lifetime, waiting for the so-called hero for a lifetime, this kind of guy deserves to be stepped on in the mud for a lifetime! "
After he finished speaking, he gasped for breath. This sudden outburst made Kong Zhongwu tongue-tied and speechless.
After a short silence, Sun Lang clapped his hands: "What you said is reasonable, you clearly explained the limitations of the peasant class in the old era and the advanced revolutionary program in the new era. The proletariat needs to break its own shackles and be its own master. It needs to unite and work together. It can't rely on the compromise of the old forces. This kind of appeasement policy is absolutely unacceptable.
I didn't expect Comrade Xie, as a ruffian, to be able to see this matter so clearly. This fully proves that ruffians are the most determined revolutionaries … Uh, okay, pretend I didn't say that, pretend I didn't say that. "
"But you are very lucky, because you said the truth." Sun Lang's expression became very sincere, "You made the right bet, very good."
Xie Agui's expression was very complicated. It was a mixture of joy and fear … Although the desperate gamble had given him hope of survival, it had also confirmed his guess.
This person was indeed a temperamental, unfathomable, and extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, he had a different view of right and wrong than ordinary people!
Sun Lang's gaze fell on Kong Zhongwu, who was just about to speak, and said lightly: "You … are also very lucky.
Although you wanted to speak, you were interrupted by your companion's brave action, which indirectly saved your life … Because I have seen your superb acting skills, I can also guess what you want to say. I'm sorry, because of my past experience, I am not interested in love, justice, forgiveness, and other such chicken soup for the soul. After all, my three views are crooked, so I can foresee that if you want to say those words, I will most likely … Well, you don't want to know. "
Sun Lang stood in front of Kong Zhongwu, rambling on and on, but the murderous intent in his words was faintly discernible, constantly attacking Kong Zhongwu's psychological defense line.
Kong Zhongwu's heart was pounding, and he didn't even dare to look directly into the eyes of the young man in front of him. Dealing with a temperamental madman was really too much for his heart to bear. There was both the joy of surviving a disaster and the fear of not seeing the future.
"But … there is also a bad point."
Sun Lang took two steps back and said with a smile, "Although you survived, the question just now was answered by your friend, so my next question should naturally be answered by you … This question is very difficult, because the key of the question is not what I want to hear, but whether you want to say it …"
Kong Zhongwu suddenly thought of something, and fear and panic appeared on his pale face.
Xie Agui's expression also changed slightly.
But Sun Lang didn't give the two of them a chance to connect. He waved his hand and said, "Throw this friend Xie out."
Zhao Yunlong responded and moved. First, he waved his hand, and a sharp force broke through the air and cut off Xie Agui's rope. Then, a pitchfork pierced through the air and stabbed at Xie Agui's armpits. General Zhao Yunlong expressionlessly held Xie Agui and walked toward the passage of the cellar.
Xie Agui was just about to say something, but Sun Lang added, "If he wants to escape, talk, look around, shout, or even do anything suspicious or unpleasant to your eyes …"
The ranger thought for a moment and said to General Zhao, "Then we'll saw his testicles."
Although Xie Agui didn't know what "saw his testicles" was, his male instinct still made him feel his little brother shrink back. He couldn't help but clamp his legs together and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Soon, only Sun Lang and Kong Zhongwu were left in this cold and damp cellar.
Kong Zhongwu's entire body was soaked in cold sweat. After being inexplicably captured, his mood had gone through several ups and downs. The despair of having his life in the hands of someone else, the lingering fear of walking in a circle between life and death … The man in front of him was not only strong, but also deep in his schemes and cruel in his methods. In just a short conversation, he had forced his psychological defenses to collapse again and again. Now that Xie Agui had left, he was left alone to face the temperamental man … He already understood in his heart that he couldn't tell any lies or hide anything from now on.
Because fear had already taken root in his heart, constantly reminding him who the person who held the power of life and death was at this moment.
He glanced at Sun Lang and said with some difficulty, "Before I answer, can I first ask … If I said it first, would you really kill me?"
"Are you stupid?"
Sun Lang shrugged. "If you answered the question first, then the one who would be blown out of here right now would be you … Silly child, the skill of answering first is very important."
Kong Zhongwu laughed bitterly. He only felt a chill all over his body, and had nothing to say.
"Then …" The smile on Sun Lang's face instantly vanished, and in its place was a gaze that was as cold as a blade. "Kong Zhongwu, don't you have something to tell me about your cultivation in martial arts that improved by leaps and bounds, the Hundred Herb Garden, the Flying Centipede, and more?"
