Chapter 105 Killers, Dead and Witnesses
"Did you join the army?" The guys were obviously shocked and understood Ximen Qing very well. After all, he was shocked when he just had this idea.
Ximenqing grew up in Yanggu. Although it is extremely beautiful in the eyes of some people, he deeply knows that his world is just a pharmacy, a few ordinary county streets, and some women who can't stand on the table. For a man, a man, if he ends his life, it is really a great irony.
I heard that Wuhan University came from a foreign country, and even the world of Wuhan University is broader than its own. At this point, Ximen Qing, who is of normal height, is not as good as Wuhan University as a disabled man. If you go to join the army and kill the enemy in the battlefield, you may be able to make achievements and become the hero that others look forward to. When you become a general and then return to Yanggu, what is Wu Song? It's just a small head crawling in front of him.
Ximenqing felt a fire burning in his chest. This was the first time since he grew up that he felt that he also had a man's blood. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. The more excited he thought about it, the more excited he became. His hands tightly clenched into fists, and his eyes seemed to be full of tears.
"I can tell you the truth that your shopkeeper has committed a crime, and I'm afraid he is no longer in the office at this time. But your boss and I stood in the right position at the critical moment, which can be regarded as saving a life. It can be regarded as my credit that you can survive safely now. Ximenqing's eyes swept the audience. He knew that the pharmacy shopkeeper would definitely tell these guys part of the action so that they could help them do something. And none of these guys are fuel-efficient lamps. Through these clips, although they can't guess the whole plan, they probably know what it is. They are not shopkeepers, they only succumb to interests. If you join the army, you can only start with small soldiers. If you take some people together and these people recognize their leadership status, correspondingly, you can start as an officer. That is undoubtedly a step closer to success and fame.
As Ximen Qing expected, after he finished his words, the friends present were silent. Sure enough, they all know the seriousness of the failure of this plan, and Ximen Qing also knows that at this time, he needs to add another fire.
"In fact, I don't know if you have ever thought that most of you can only be lifelong friends. After all, only a few can become shopkeepers or even owners. You all know that the pharmacy staff does not need to have much advanced medical knowledge or knowledge. The most important thing is that they are young, energetic and can greet guests. Unfortunately, not everyone can stay young all the time, and most of you will be dismissed by me in the not-too-too-distant future. I know you very well, and as you know me, you know almost nothing about anything else except that you know something in the pharmacy industry. For you, being fired from the pharmacy means living on the street. Ximenqing tried to pull away his feelings in the narrative. He believed that the cold words would make these guys realize the seriousness of the incident.
"My boss, but it's too dangerous to join the army. I only have one son in my family." A relatively young man opened his mouth.
Great, finally someone can't help it. His question is very representative, and Ximen Qing is worried that no one will ask.
"In fact, everyone can think about this. You are not ordinary people." Ximen Qing stood with his hands behind his hands: "First of all, I will take everyone to join the army. I will definitely not be empty-handed, and I will definitely bring some or even all of my property. Ximen Pharmacy is still worth a few dollars. They sold it and then donated part of the money to the army. They will definitely treat us differently. As the saying goes, those people's hands are short, and we won't let our brothers go to places that are too dangerous. Otherwise, once this matter spreads, who else will honor them?
The response was good. All the guys were listening carefully, and Ximen Qing couldn't help nodding.
"Secondly, you are not ordinary soldiers. After working in my Ximen pharmacy for so long, it can be said that I can stand alone in terms of medicinal materials. Although most people have never done it themselves in terms of diagnosis and treatment, they have never eaten pork. They have always seen pigs run. I would like to ask you, what is the most common war?
Ximenqing looked at everyone's faces, and no one answered at this moment. He was probably thinking about his own affairs.
"That's the most wounded soldiers. Are you really a military doctor in the army of the Song Dynasty enough? Don't be funny. Excellent voices stay in the city to work for those powerful officials and rich masters. Who is willing to go to the battlefield to treat those soldiers like grass mustard? I can say that after a short life as a recruit, most of you will become military doctors, and I will never stop you when you are transferred. Although military doctors are still on the battlefield, they must be the safest place on the battlefield. Think about it, you only need to face a few painful and crooked faces to become heroes in the minds of all soldiers! Let me ask you, as a man, who doesn't want to be a hero, or be envied and admired by young girls by men of the same age? If you stay in Yanggu, I can tell you that ordinary people will follow you like rotten maggots. Only follow me and fight on the battlefield, where there are the dreams of all of us!" Ximenqing rarely made such passionate speeches. He felt that his face was a little hot, and his hands trembled slightly because of excitement.
"As far as I know, your Ximen family doesn't seem to have been a soldier since their ancestors. How can the owner seem to win in a completely strange place? Forgive the little people for talking too much. I want to ask, where does your self-confidence come from?" The oldest man among the guys opened his mouth slowly, and his tone was still calm, which seemed to laugh at Ximenqing's excitement and blood.
"Of course I'm in my grasp!" Ximenqing's heart was forced to panic by this sentence. How can he be sure? If he is asked to pester a girl, he can still have some tricks. Throwing into the army seems to be a good gamble for life. Since it is a gamble, how can it be sure? But the key to the problem is that we must convince these people that they are sure to win. Only in this way will these wall grasses join the army with themselves. I'm sure... You can go out and have a look now. In the eastern sky, there is a dark red comet, like a torch. Dissatisfied with everyone, when I was born, there was a Taoist priest who passed by my house and insisted on occupying a hexagram for me. As a result, there is such a sentence in this hexagram: the stars come out of the east and shine at the west gate, and people will turn the sea into a spring. My word is four springs, and the sea is divided into four seas, and the four seas are turned into four springs in the courtyard, which is the meaning of this word. Now that the stars have appeared, if you join the army at this time, you will definitely be able to show your ambition and make achievements!" Ximenqing casually made up a story and united his words with the stars, so that these guys couldn't help but believe it.
Looking at the oldest guy, he seemed to ask something. Ximen Qing immediately thought of the loophole in the words. It doesn't matter, and it can be made up.
"Of course, you all know that a newborn child only has a name but no word, and can only be used as an adult. Also officially because of the Taoist priest's gossip, I didn't invite others to write when I was an adult, and my parents called me that directly. I haven't held a coming-of-age ceremony. Some of the people present who have been in my house for many years know about it. Ximenqing refers to the old man who wants to ask questions.
In fact, the reason why Ximenqing did not hold the coming-of-age ceremony at that time was that the family was a little defeated at that time, and his father no longer had the ability to hold such a ceremony for him, so he randomly used the word "four springs" as a word. Unexpectedly, today, it could be used as an excuse for a round lie. Ximen Qing couldn't help nodding secretly. It seems that everything is doomed.
After listening to Ximen Qing's words, those guys were stunned for a moment, and then walked out of the door of the pharmacy and looked at the eastern sky for a long time. Ximen Qing did not move in the lobby of the pharmacy. He believed that this calm image would be engraved in everyone's heart. After a while, those guys came back one after another.
"My boss, we did it with you. I also hope you don't care about some of our previous behaviors. As you know, sometimes it's really involuntary. The oldest man lowered his head, as if he were begging.
Haha, I think so. This guy is the confidant of the pharmacy shopkeeper, and he should know the most. This vision of the red comet ignited the hope of changing the trajectory of their lives. Now you know how to beg me, now you know that your secret transactions are sorry for me and beg for my forgiveness? How can it be! But it doesn't matter. Take your time. There will be many opportunities to deal with you in the future.
"No matter what, you have worked so hard for the Siemens pharmacy. I will keep these in mind and will definitely repay you in the future." Ximenqing smiled meaningfully, then turned his head and asked the others, "What do you say?"
"I am willing to follow my boss and realize my ambition!"
"Damn, I've been a man for a long time. Those rich and powerful people don't look at you at all. I want to join the army, and I want to kill people! Host, I'll follow you!"
"There are no people in my family anymore. I don't want to find a place to live again after being kicked out of the pharmacy. Count me in!"
"Yanggu women read Wu Song's name every day. Now it is difficult to find a daughter-in-law. After joining the army, if they can go to the border gate, they must grab a few girls opposite. I will be the groom every day!"
......
Enthusiasm is slowly ignited, and everyone has a desire in their hearts, but when the trajectory of life cannot be changed, it is often extremely difficult to realize this desire. Therefore, in troubled times, when there is an opportunity in front of you, even if you know that there is little hope, you will strangely be stimulated by the roar of people around you to hide the deepest desire, and this desire is often such a evil idea.
Ximenqing nodded with satisfaction: "That's the matter. After dawn, it's November 15th. Wu Song must recruit some soldiers before the New Year. We can go to apply for the expedition, which is also a favor for Wu Song and can also bargain. After all, we are from Yanggu County. If we go to other places to apply for the recruitment, there may be a lot of unnecessary trouble. Don't be idle these days. You can't deal with the remaining medicinal herbs in the pharmacy. You can't get much discount on these things in the store. Collect as much money as possible, which is also convenient for our brothers to spend in the future. Ximenqing said this stop and shot the whole audience again: "As for now, you can go to bed, and it will be dawn in two hours."
Ximen Qing knows that if you ignite enthusiasm for a long time, enthusiasm will inevitably fail. It's like if he goes to the same girl for a month in a row, and both sides will often be interested in it. Therefore, we must stop this flame at its peak, so that everyone will have a hope for the future.
And people with hope in their hearts are the easiest to be used. These guys are useless. They only deserve and can only be their own stepping stones. Ximen Qing has seen everyone's faces, and he even thought in his heart what words he should use to inspire the rest of them to continue to fight when one of these people dies.
Pan Qi
When Pan Qi woke up, she felt a headache. Maybe she went out in the middle of the night to catch a cold wind, which made her only squint at the things around her.
The hairy egg working in front of the white case seems to be extremely excited, and every action of kneading the face seems so powerful. Pan Qi didn't want to ask why. She knew Mao Dan. If the reason behind this is really valuable, Mao Dan will not tell the truth. On the contrary, if this is Mao Dan's deliberate performance to attract him to ask, he will definitely not be lonely and take the initiative to tell himself the truth of the matter.
This is like a cat-and-mouse game. Although she is an ally with Mao Dan, this kind of ally also requires mental wrestling and constant testing. Once one side takes it lightly, this alliance will end immediately.
Pan Qi endured the pain in his head and the dream-like song that came out of Maodan's mouth from time to time, and finally finished breakfast. Today, the one-eyed dragon did not come. The new army only came a few ordinary soldiers, and these soldiers also had new faces. A trace of uneasiness flashed in Pan Qi's heart. But then I figured out that the new army commander died unexpectedly yesterday, and the one-eyed dragon should have been competing for the new army leader. If his seizure of power was as neat as killing people, he may have become the temporary commander-in-chief of the new army. If a person in a high position comes back for breakfast, it will be a little abnormal.
I'm afraid these new soldiers are also his idea. He should be telling me in this way that he will not appear today and it is not convenient to kill people today. After all, it is impossible for me to deliver messages through strangers. It seems that the one-eyed dragon really needs some time to stabilize its position. Pan Qi sat on the ground and was powerless to think, and the oven was warm behind her. For the first time, Pan Qi felt that the warmth was so comfortable. She couldn't help moving her buttocks in the direction she didn't want to move.
"Pan Qi, are you all right? I feel that your face is a little abnormal." Mao Dan came up and sat next to Pan Qi.
"It's okay, but I have a headache. In addition, can you stop humming the little song? Your voice seems to be like a magic sound, which makes my head more and more painful. Pan Qi complained that she really couldn't stand it.
"Okay, okay, I won't hum. I'm just free now. I want to discuss the murder with you. The tone of the hairy egg also became a little gloomy.
The rapid change of the topic made Pan Qi a little confused, and the headache made her consciousness a little blurred. Tell me about it." Pan Qi has been unable to say anything superfluous. She just wants to sit by the oven to keep warm.
"We can do anything in front of everyone, as manipulators, we can appear in three identities." Mao Dan's words seemed to be a little boundless, and Pan Qi was extremely disgusted with this jumping idea.
"Which three identities?" Pan Qi reluctantly answered.
"These three identities are: 'killer', 'dead' and 'eyewitness'." Mao Dan looked at Pan Qi with a smile.
Pan Qi was confused. She was a little speechless, but just nodded. She knew that Mao Dan would continue to talk about this topic until she could understand.
"The so-called witness is like you killed Deng Bai. As a bystander of the incident, you don't know what happened at all, so your reaction after the event should be like the people around you, hidden among them, which is not out of the mark; the so-called killer, just like you killed the people on the wooden tower, you are dressed in blue. The fat man and the black-faced butcher announced his death in advance and appeared in front of the audience completely from the perspective of the creator of the incident. The so-called dead, of course, you have not used this method, that is, we appeared completely as the main victims of the incident and were frightened by the process of killing. In this process, naturally However, he was afraid and fled. Maybe you can also hear what I mean. I think it's too difficult to escape from the half-day castle by killing, but if you rely on your current status as a half-day castle ghost and spread fear in the role of 'dead man', you may succeed. I'm not sure how many more people you can kill, but since you have reached an alliance with me, there should be at least one more place. We tried to escape from the castle for a long time at the cost of killing a person..." Pan Qi couldn't hear the following words clearly. She was too sleepy and wanted to sleep.
Pan Qi felt that his cold hand touched his forehead, and the sound of hairy eggs came immediately, but the sound was so far away that it seemed to be several streets away from Pan Qi: "Pan Qi, your head is so hot. It seems that you are sick."
Pan Qi's heart was cold. It was really worse to get sick at this time. He didn't know what to do. As soon as he was anxious, he lost consciousness and fell asleep.
