Chapter 334: Killing for Life
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar, shouting, "Nonsense! How could a normal person turn into a monster?!"
"I think you are the monster, the evil spirit!"
"You killed all the people, so you can say whatever you want. You actually pushed the blame onto the people of Dongxi Village. How vicious!"
Ding Qi said, "Whether the person killed was a monster or not is not up to you to decide." He turned to the crowd and continued, "It is for the people to decide." He winked at several guards.
The four guards turned around and dragged out a tightly tied man from a nearby tent. It was the insane Gao Tinggeng.
Ding Qi said: "Everyone, this is a soldier from my Dongzhong Army. He became like this after being bitten by one of the villagers in Dongxi Village. Let's see if he is a monster or not."
Everyone saw that his face was pale and scary, his eyes were emitting a dull gray-green light, and his throat was bloody but he was not dead. Everyone was so frightened that they froze, and the open space was completely silent.
Ding Qi asked, "How did he become like this? Tell me in detail from beginning to end. Don't leave out anything, and don't make up anything."
Chu Xiaomu said yes, and then he told the story of how he found the footprints while patrolling the border, how he followed the footprints all the way to Dongxi Village, how he found the villagers dead, how Gao Tinggeng and his team entered the village, how Gao Tinggeng was bitten to death by the woman at the beginning, and then how Gao Tinggeng stood up at night, and all the "villagers" crawled out and chased them. When they chased them to the vicinity of Shiyang Village, they had no choice but to kill all the "villagers" who were chasing them, until they finally rushed back to Dongxi Village and encountered an attack and slaughtered the remaining "villagers". He told the story in detail from beginning to end. He had no expression on his face when he spoke, as if what happened a few days ago had nothing to do with him.
Chu Xiaomu spoke in a low voice, but when he talked about Gao Tinggeng being bitten to death, the crowd was already quiet, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen to this bizarre and terrifying story. Until Chu Xiaomu finished speaking, the crowd was unusually quiet, and many people thought, it seems that it is not their fault, being chased by a dead person, if they don't fight back, they will only wait for death, and they just happened to encounter another village nearby. If they miss a "person", I am afraid that the people of the entire Shiyang Village will be unlucky.
Li Qi asked, "You knew it was dangerous, so why did you insist on running towards Shiyang Village?"
Chu Xiaomu said: "I am not familiar with that area. I didn't know there was a village there."
Li Qi nodded, frowned and stopped talking.
Many people were puzzled as to how these villagers could be bitten to death overnight. Were they bitten by wild beasts, monsters, or evil spirits? They had never seen a beast that could bite the entire village without missing a single person. Moreover, resurrection after death was something they had never seen or heard of before, and it made no sense.
The mole-faced scoundrel jumped out again and said, "These are just your one-sided statements. How could the villagers of Dongxi Village be turned into monsters by a bite? You killed them all. You can say whatever you want."
Zhou Weide couldn't help but get angry and said, "All nine of us saw it with our own eyes and experienced it ourselves. How can you say it's just one side of the story?!"
The black mole scoundrel chuckled and said, "You nine are all in the same group, so naturally you will help each other. Even if all nine of you speak together, it's still one side of the story. I don't think there's any need to ask. Killing someone means paying with your life, so just kill him now!"
Zhou Weide was extremely angry, but he couldn't open his mouth to scold him, so he tried his best to hold back his anger. His face turned red as he glared at the gangster fiercely.
Ding Qi said, "The villagers of Dongxi Village are not monsters, but they have lost their minds and bite anyone they see. There is clear evidence of this now." Pointing to Gao Tinggeng beside him, he said, "He is a sergeant captain under the Donggen Camp of my Dongzhong Army. His surname is Gao and his given name is Tinggeng. He is one of the two sergeants who were bitten."
The black mole gangster pouted and said, "Who knows if you soldiers are just putting on a show in front of us."
Ding Qi couldn't help getting angry, but he tried hard to hold it back and said, "I am one of the five great generals of Bicheng. Why should I put on a show in front of the people of Bicheng? If you don't believe me, you can come and see." He stared at the gangster with his blazing eyes.
The ruffian didn't care at all and said, "Just take a look." He was standing at the front row of the crowd and tried to squeeze past the two soldiers. Li Qi signaled to let him go.
The hooligan walked up to Gao Tinggeng with a swagger and reached out to tear the cloth tied around his mouth.
Chu Xiaomu said coldly: "You better be careful. Captain Gao was bitten in almost the same way as you and ended up in this state."
The gangster spat at Chu Xiaomu and cursed, "Nonsense, how could I be bitten?" He glanced at Chu Xiaomu and said in a strange voice, "Oh, I recognize you. Aren't you the one who intercepted the Claw Clan's secret letter? You were so powerful a while ago! I heard that the leader of the assassins, Li Ji or something, was also captured by you..."
Before he finished speaking, a strange voice like a thorn suddenly sounded outside the crowd: "Besides Bi Ye, who else in Bicheng has the ability to capture Li Ji?!" The voice was strange, and it was obviously not spoken by someone from Cang Mu Country. Chu Xiaomu and others could tell that the person who spoke was a member of the Claw Tribe of Chi Sha Country!
Ding Qi and Li Qi's faces suddenly changed color. They looked at each other and wondered how the Claw Tribe suddenly entered Bicheng. However, Bicheng was patrolled by soldiers everywhere, so it could be said that there was no leakage. How could this be possible?
Ding Qi looked around and didn't see any unusual-looking people from the country of Sha. He said loudly to the source of the voice, "Are you a friend from the country of Chisha? Would you mind showing up to meet me?"
The voice said, "People from Cangmu Country like to pretend. I'm from Chisha Country, and I'm not your friend!" The voice was getting closer.
Li Qi saw the danger and said to the people, "The people coming are very dangerous. Everyone, go home quickly, close the doors and windows and don't come out."
The people of Bicheng who were watching the scene suddenly panicked and fled in all directions. However, there were still some brave people who refused to leave and hid to see the excitement here.
Another strange voice started laughing and said, "What's the point of closing the doors and windows? Even those people in Dongxi Village close their door curtains tightly. In our eyes, there is no difference between having doors, windows, and even walls in your Cangmu Country or not."
Everyone was even more frightened, as it seemed that the person who came was the culprit who killed 67 people in Dongxi Village.
Gao Tinggeng became frantic and restless, struggling and twisting non-stop, opening his big mouth full of black blood towards the gangster, and making a strange "ho ho" sound from his throat. The gangster with the black mole was frightened and ran away in a hurry.
