Pig Killer

Chapter 258

Shen Changsheng's dark eyes turned when he heard this, "I have a family and a career! How dare I risk my life!"

"Snap..." Shen Hui'e snapped her fingers and said, "You're right! If you hesitate before making a decision, you will suffer the consequences."

To put it bluntly, the revolution was not thorough and the bourgeoisie was weak.

"We are willing to risk it all. We are alone and have nothing to lose. How bad can it get?" Shen Changsheng looked at them with dark eyes and said, "Except for this life."

"The beheading will only leave a scar as big as a bowl, but he can be a brave man again eighteen years later!" Huang Zhongchang said quickly.

"Although it is commendable to not be afraid of death, your death cannot be in vain. It must be a worthy death." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her ink-black eyes and said.

"Just kidding, I don't want to die." Huang Zhongchang shook his head and chuckled, "It's easy to deal with them. They are not afraid of the law. They trample on the law by relying on their power. It's not easy to find fault with them! A man who knows the times is a hero. They are much more afraid of death than us."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hui'e looked at Huang Zhongchang and learned very quickly.

"Why are you looking at me? Did I say something wrong?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her innocently and said.

"Kill some and win over some, and they will all be obedient." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a cold gaze.

"You are such a cunning person!" Shen Changsheng said to them in astonishment.

"They are not a united front. Everyone has his own little plans." Shen Hui'e looked at him with eyes like glass beads.

As they were talking, getting closer and closer to the city wall, Shen Hui'e pulled up her scarf and pinched her nose.

"It doesn't smell good." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with concern and said, "Are you so clean?"

"I'm fine." Shen Hui'e gave them a reassuring look.

She had seen everything! Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Zerg chasing, zombies besieging the city, dripping thick mucus, and a disgusting smell...

Shen Hui'e shuddered and still got goosebumps when she thought about it now. Was this nothing?

"We can't hurry up, just hold on for a while." Shen Changsheng said without turning his head.

"I understand!" Shen Hui'e nodded slightly and said, "You're afraid of bumping into someone!"

"Yeah!" Shen Changsheng nodded and replied, "It's okay in winter now, but in summer..." He closed his eyes and said, "It would be unbearable to watch."

"City people can bear it." Shen Hui'e said in a surprised voice.

"What else can I do if I can't bear it? Just stay at home." Shen Changsheng said helplessly, "Out of sight, out of mind." He pointed at the city wall with his chin and said, "Look at how high the city wall is."

"Wow..." Shen Hui'e looked up and down at the city wall and said, "It's really high." Estimated at a glance, it was about 70 or 80 feet high.

Thirty feet, more than twenty feet. Really high!

"It's not possible to attack by force." Shen Hui'e muttered softly.

"Hmm!" Huang Zhongchang nodded and said, "The ladder isn't that high!" He pursed his lips and said, "It seems we can only outsmart them."

"Be careful?" Shen Hui'e exclaimed as she looked at the young man rushing out of the shack.

"Whoa..." Shen Changsheng quickly pulled the reins to steady the horse.

"Oh! It's over, it's over, my leg is broken." The young man lying on the ground covered his leg and rolled on the ground, shouting loudly.

Shen Changsheng jumped down from the shaft of the cart and ran over in a hurry, "Are you okay?"

"You broke my leg, you have to compensate me!" The boy cried with snot and tears, and his dark face was left with two marks from the tears.

"How do you drive? How do you break someone's leg?"

"Come on, come on, stop him, don't let him get away."

The people in the shack were attracted by the noise and surrounded Shen Hui'e and the others.

"I'll take you to see a doctor." Shen Changsheng bent down and looked at him and said.

"If I don't see the doctor, who knows where you will take me?" the young man sobbed.

"Then what do you want?" Shen Hui'e walked over and looked at the boy who was still lying on the ground.

The boy was skinny, wearing thin, ragged clothes, and had wounds on his body, obviously from being whipped.

"Pay me money, pay me money." the boy shouted.

"I'll take you to see a doctor. Someone from your group can stay with me." Shen Changsheng looked up at the people who gathered around him and said.

"No, no, just give me money and I'll go see it myself." The boy said firmly.

"Boy, this won't work, and that won't work. What on earth do you want to do?" Huang Zhongchang walked up to his wife and stared at the young man lying on the ground.

The boy looked at him fiercely and said, "Just give me the money and we can go and see for ourselves."

Huang Zhongchang looked him up and down suspiciously and said, "Boy, you just want money..." This behavior was too suspicious. His eyes were fixed on the man who was curled up and covering his calves.

The boy avoided his sharp gaze guiltily.

Shen Hui'e walked around Huang Zhongchang, took out a gold coin from her waist, squatted down and said, "This is definitely enough!" She stuffed it directly into his hand, "Why don't you let me pass?"

The boy glanced at the thing in his hand and looked at her in shock, "You..."

"Why don't you leave?" Shen Hui'e patted his chilblained hands.

"Hey!" The young man quickly got up, went into the shack, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"He..." Shen Changsheng raised his eyes and looked in the direction the boy went, "His leg is not broken!"

"Disperse! Disperse!" Huang Zhongchang waved his hand with a dark face to let the crowd go.

The crowd dispersed. Shen Changsheng pulled the reins and looked at his second sister and said, "Second sister, brother-in-law, get in the car."

Huang Zhongchang watched his wife jump onto the carriage, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he silently withdrew his outstretched hand. Does she have the consciousness of a woman?

Huang Zhongchang walked to the other side and sat on the shaft of the cart.

Shen Hui'e watched Shen Changsheng lead the horse and said, "Brother, aren't you going to get in the car?"

"No, I don't have much to go." Shen Changsheng looked back at her sitting on the shaft and said, "Don't bump into anyone else."

"How do you know he is pretending?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her curiously and asked.

"We didn't bump into each other in the first place." Shen Hui'e said, pointing to her eyes.

"Then what did you give him?" Huang Zhongchang asked.

"Gold coin, one gold coin." Shen Hui'e said in a low voice.

"You knew he was a liar but you still gave him money!" Huang Zhongchang looked at her in surprise and said, Are you so generous?

"Look at him, he's so skinny, and in such a cold day, he has no clothes to wear. He's in danger of being stepped on..." Shen Hui'e wrapped her sheepskin coat around her and said, "If we don't have it, I won't give it to you. It's just a little money, so I won't argue about right and wrong."

Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows slightly and said meaningfully, "Whether he can keep this gold coin depends on his ability."

"Money can move people's hearts." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with deep eyes and said.

"Yes! What I gave is not just a few copper coins, it is beyond your expectation, and some people will be tempted." Shen Hui'e said to them with clear eyes.

"Are you saving him or harming him?" Shen Changsheng looked back at her and said.

"In troubled times, you can't survive without some survival skills." Shen Hui'e said to him with a gleam in her eyes.

Huang Zhongchang looked up at his elder brother-in-law who was leading the horse and asked, "Uncle, is this a big deal?"

"Quite a lot! But most of them won't 'compensate'. If you meet a bad guy, you'll get beaten up." Shen Changsheng said as he walked, "I didn't get anything, and I still got beaten up."

"The whip marks on his body are obviously caused by being whipped." Shen Hui'e said with her deep and bottomless eyes as she looked at the city wall in front of her.

"Horse whip, it should be whipped by a horse whip." Shen Changsheng sighed, "Sit tight, we are going to cross the moat."

"Hey!" Shen Hui'e held on to the shaft of the carriage and watched the carriage pass across the wooden suspension bridge.

"This moat looks wider than the moat in our county." Huang Zhongchang said, looking at the wide moat.

"It's still deep! It's about ten feet deep." Shen Changsheng said as he walked.

"This is not an easy life." Huang Zhongchang said with a frown.

"Just freeze it solid." Shen Hui'e's crow-feather-like eyelashes covered her deep black eyes and glanced at the white frozen moat.

"Is it frozen solid?" Huang Zhongchang didn't dare to look directly at the ice surface. The sun refracted colorful light on the ice surface.

"The weather should be very strong now." Shen Changsheng muttered softly, "Stop talking, there are officials ahead."

"Oh!" Shen Hui'e poked her head out and looked at the barricades placed at the city gate. The officials standing behind them had their eyes as wide as copper bells.

"This is to collect tolls." Shen Hui'e said with her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Yes." Shen Changsheng pulled the reins and walked over slowly.

"How much?" Shen Hui'e narrowed her eyes and looked at the official not far away.

"The three of us get a hundred copper coins." Shen Changsheng said without turning his head, "Ah..." He pulled the reins, stopped, clasped his hands and said, "Hello, two officials, you are standing here in such a cold weather, it's really hard work."

"Yeah!" The officer held up a basket as big as his head and nodded his chin.

"One hundred copper coins for the three of us." Shen Changsheng said, taking out a purse from his waist.

"It has increased. Now one hundred and twenty copper coins for three people." The officer said in a muffled voice.

"It's only been a few days! It's gone up again." Shen Changsheng said in shock.

"We have no choice but to accept the order from our superiors. Please pay another thirty copper coins." The officer weighed the basket in his hand, and the copper coins in the basket clinked.

"Okay then!" Shen Changsheng counted another thirty copper coins and put them in the basket.

"Let's go!" The officer called to the guards standing nearby and moved the barricades away.

Shen Changsheng led the carriage, passed through the city gate and entered Hezhong Prefecture.

"There are not many people on this street! Isn't it too cold today?" Shen Hui'e looked at the empty street with her glassy eyes, with only a few kittens.

"Da da..." The sound of horse hooves hit the cold street.

"Brother-in-law is here. There are not many people here, so please walk slowly." Huang Zhongchang got up and entered the carriage.

Shen Hui'e also made way for him and said, "Brother, come up."

"Okay!" Shen Changsheng took a few steps back and jumped onto the shaft of the cart.
