Chapter 164: Only with Thunderbolt Means, Can One Show Bodhisattva Heart
Click, click, click.
A burst of safety-opening sounds suddenly rang out in the vehicles. Everyone had different expressions on their faces—some were very conflicted, some carried a hint of ferocity as if anger was about to burst out, and others were just indifferent, as if they had seen through the coldness of the world.
This group of people was much worse than Xidaying Village before, making Zhang Su completely lose interest in talking.
"Brother Su, can you let me talk to them first?"
Yu Qing held an automatic rifle. Although she had already opened the safety, her face was full of conflict as she walked to the driver's seat and asked Zhang Su.
The leader of United Village didn't know what was happening inside the car, but he didn't rush to urge them. In his view, the three vehicles in front were already in the bag, just waiting to see if they could get a bigger harvest.
However, he didn't expect a woman's voice to suddenly ring out: "Fellow villagers, don't be impulsive..."
Zhang Su gave Yu Qing a chance, a chance to recognize reality.
"The apocalypse has descended, we are all lucky survivors. Violence and killing cannot solve problems. Unity can allow us to develop. If you are short of anything, you can propose it. If we have it, we can trade with you!"
The leader of United Village tilted his head and walked to the middle of the RV, looking at the woman speaking behind the window for a while, then suddenly laughed: "This guy has a set of words, and even accepts barter, not accepting violent robbery. Beauty, an intellectual, right? Any interest in being a wife for the men of our United Village? Guaranteed to eat well and dress warmly!"
Due to the angle, the outside could only see Yu Qing from the chest up and couldn't find that she was holding an automatic rifle at all. But even if they saw it, they would probably be like Ma Changshou, thinking it was a fake...
"Hoo, hoo, hoo."
"Middle-class, I gave you a chance, you didn't want it, then..."
A dozen villagers followed suit, clapping the three-wheeler's cargo box and cheering rhythmically.
Two young men jumped off the three-wheeler and started arguing over Yu Qing's ownership.
Yu Wen walked behind the window and held his daughter's shoulders, shaking his head at her, meaning don't say any more.
The two arguing soon had a result. They easily reached a unified opinion, and another person blew a hooligan whistle at Yu Qing.
"Qingqing, that's enough. Good words are hard to persuade the ghost that should die..."
Whew...
Yu Qing frowned. She looked at the leader of United Village and said: "You should be the pillars of the village. If you farm honestly and trade with integrity, you can live very well. Why take this dangerous road? If something happens to you, what will the remaining old, weak, sick, and disabled in the village do?"
"We accept barter, but refuse violent robbery. Please don't go further and further on the wrong path."
Zhang Su didn't dawdle anymore, took out his USP, and fired two shots, directly opening a blood hole in the leader's head. The other shot missed and left a white dot on the ground.
Yu Qing looked at the villagers in front of her and closed her eyes in sadness.
Many villagers on the side frowned and looked at the two, leaning to one side involuntarily, clearly not wanting to be in cahoots with them.
"Boss, I don't want any work points anymore, this beauty must be left to me!"
"Go to hell. Even if your work points are more, can they be more than mine? She is mine, I like intellectual girls."
"Little beauty, we have discussed it. By then, you will accompany both of us. Guaranteed you don't have to work and have food and drink every day. Get out of the car quickly, let us love you well!"
Zhang Su saw every scene of the villagers and found many problems. This United Village didn't look like a monolithic block.
"Look, look!" The leader pointed at Yu Qing and said to his subordinates: "This is called a Bodhisattva heart, it's just a pity it's a clay Bodhisattva. Haha, beauty, you can't even protect yourself, and you're still considering us? Hahahaha..."
"Hoo, hoo, hoo."
There was no chance for regret at all. The leader of United Village stared straight at Zhang Su's gloomy eyes with unbelievable eyes until he died.
So giving me a chance was real...
The last thought flashed through his mind, and the leader of United Village lay on the ground
After the echoes of the gunfire faded, there was silence; time seemed to have come to a brief halt, but it was quickly shattered.
"Boss!"
The arrogant villagers on the motorized tricycles were instantly shocked. The two who had walked over to the RV to fetch Yu Qing from her warm bed fell to the ground, and before they could make an effective reaction, they were so scared by the scene before them that they wet their pants.
A row of pitch-black gun barrels extended from the windows, covering everyone with firepower; the surrounding formation actually made it easier for the other side to aim.
"Surrender! I surrender!"
A loud shout rang out. A burly man was seen taking off the homemade crossbow from his shoulder and throwing it, along with the butcher knife in his hand, onto the road. He crouched down very decisively, holding his head with both hands, while shouting non-stop.
"Surrender, I surrender! I don't approve of bullying men and women! I'm not from Xiguanying, don't kill me, please don't kill me!"
Like the broken window effect, after the burly man threw away his weapon and surrendered, most of the others followed suit in unison, throwing away their weapons and crouching in front of the tricycles. The arrogance and domineering attitude of a moment ago vanished completely; some had truly wet their pants, with liquid dripping from their crotches.
In the face of life and death, very few people can remain calm. The warm corpse of their leader lay right beside the RV, stimulating everyone's nerves.
No matter where, there are always guys holding onto a fluke. The four villagers who had been the most boisterous during the earlier commotion stepped on the gas, driving their tricycles to flee.
Rat-tat-tat, rat-tat.
Under the cover of firepower, surrender was the only chance to survive; running away meant only death!
"Ah..."
"Urgh!"
Zhang Su didn't know who fired the shots; in any case, he only personally killed one, and the few who were fleeing all collapsed to the ground. Ironically, the tricycles kept moving forward on momentum, as if saying, "It's dangerous here, I'm leaving first..."
Leaving only four corpses lying in the pool of blood in various postures.
"Ah... I'm not running, we're not running, everyone from Xiaoxinzhuang, don't run! Big Brother, spare our lives!"
"People from Wanggezhuang, don't run either, everyone squat, no, kneel down, hurry!"
After the automatic rifles shot down the escapees, the remaining villagers became even more obedient, almost prostrating themselves to beg for mercy.
They had never imagined that people driving a recreational vehicle would carry real military-grade hardware; it was simply mind-boggling. The last shred of luck finally vanished into thin air after five lives were accounted for.
"Highway robbery, damn it!"
Zhang Su walked off the vehicle, cursing, and the others naturally followed one after another onto the road.
Everyone walked toward the villagers with their guns raised in unison.
"You two were shouting about making her your wife?"
Zhang Su pointed at Yu Qing and asked the "wife-snatching duo" who had already crawled back into the crowd.
"Huh?"
"Big Brother, I..."
"Yes, that's right, it's those two, Daqiu and Guizi. They are also from Xiguanying; people from Xiguanying love doing this kind of thing the most!"
Before the two could even open their mouths to refute, someone nearby immediately pointed them out and spilled even more information.
United Village, as the name implies, is a village formed by the union of several villages. These people came from different villages, and each village had its own survival philosophy. It was clear that the style of the dead lead brother was not recognized by everyone.
The two men called Daqiu and Guizi looked panicked, waving their hands repeatedly with legs shaking like chaff, looking at Zhang Su and the others in terror, wanting to explain something but appearing so pale and powerless.
"Yu Qing, do you see? The people you were bent on saving—not only do they not know how to be grateful, but they only wanted to dominate you. Imagine your life after being taken back to their village by them. Do you still sympathize with them?"
Zhang Su knew this was an excellent opportunity to give Yu Qing a lesson. If she couldn't completely change her mindset this time, she would only have to be marginalized in the future; after all, Yu Wen and Zhao Dezhu were still very useful in the team.
Yu Qing shook her head with a complex look in her eyes. She couldn't bear to kill, but she wasn't a fool.
"OK, come on, take care of these two scumbags!"
Zhang Su pointed at Daqiu and Guizi.
"Ah? No, don't..."
"Miss, Sir, I was wrong. I shouldn't have run my mouth. I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again. Give me a chance, I'll be your beast of burden to repay you."
Hearing that they were to be taken care of, Daqiu and Guizi thumped to their knees and started kowtowing. In no time, their foreheads were bleeding; they were putting in quite a bit of effort.
Seeing the state of the two, Yu Qing felt a battle between heaven and man in her heart. At this moment, her mind recalled the faces of those innocent students during her teaching days. How she wished she could return to that time, just an ordinary chemistry teacher holding a piece of chalk instead of an automatic rifle!
Yu Wen could see his daughter's struggle. He walked to her side and gently patted her shoulder: "Qingqing, the world has changed. The path of growth is full of thorns. I hope you can cut through the thorns all the way. Listen to Mr. Zhang!"
"Ah!!" Zhao Dezhu shouted, saying: "Big brother, I... these two jerks wanted to snatch my wife, let me kill them!"
He stepped forward, wanting to take care of Daqiu and Guizi for Yu Qing.
Zhang Su gave Zhao Dezhu a look and said indifferently: "Zhuzi, you can help her once, twice, but can you help her for a lifetime? Yu Qing, have you ever heard that only with thunderous means can one show the heart of a Bodhisattva?"
"Only with thunderous means can one show the heart of a Bodhisattva..."
Yu Qing was suddenly stunned, muttering the words Zhang Su had said.
Suddenly, her gaze became clear. At this moment, she felt as if the whole world had entered a space of bullet time; everything around her slowed down. She could see the two people kneeling in front of her begging for mercy, but she couldn't hear a sound!
She decisively raised her gun and aimed at Daqiu and Guizi.
"Don't, Lady Bodhisattva, I was wrong, I will turn over a new leaf."
"I will definitely reform myself, I will never act recklessly again."
"Go to hell and repent!" Yu Qing pulled the trigger!
Rat-tat, rat-tat, the recoil of the automatic rifle jolted Yu Qing's thin shoulders, causing her hair to lift slightly.
With the sound of gunfire, the two corpses fell to the ground.
