439 Blame whom
Looks like it's okay this time.
Xu Wen thought to himself.
The thin man was stunned when he saw the corpse in the grave, the knife fell to the ground, and his whole person's spirit seemed to be gone, half-squatting, shrugging his head, and not saying a word.
The others didn't speak immediately, but they all laid down their weapons and had no intention of doing anything more.
Xu Xihuai stood in place for a while, went back to the car silently, and took off his luggage.
There was a car, and they did not force a heavy march, but put most of their luggage in the car.
Xu Xihuai picked up his baggage, untied the knot, took out all the clothes and dry food inside, and put them in front of Second Uncle Xu.
"Uncle, eat some. He said.
Their dry food was purchased from Greenwood. With money, they usually choose varieties of better quality, and the amount is not too much, after all, they have to bring other tools, enough for one person to eat.
But Xu Xihuai is different, he prepared more dry food than others at the beginning, and the relative quality is a little inferior.
At first, his companions laughed at him for not being tall and eating a lot, but now it seems that he has been prepared for a long time......
Fang Jueming stood next to him for a while, and silently went to move his luggage down and took out his own food.
"No, I don't. Xu Xihuai pressed his hand, "I don't have anything to eat, and I'll have to look for you when the time comes." Besides......"
He looked at Second Uncle Xu, and his smile disappeared, "There are some questions that I haven't answered yet." ”
It's been a long time since these people have eaten a good meal, and the ones that are usually dirty and smelly are difficult to eat, and they basically can't fill their stomachs.
Although Xu Xihuai's theses are not good things, and the coarse grains are mixed with bran, they still taste extremely sweet, and they gobble up them one by one, choking so much that they want to hand water to the people next to them.
Second Uncle Xu is also a little self-controlled. He's eating, too, but one piece after another, and eating looks much better than theirs.
Then at this time, when he heard Xu Xihuai's words, his hand suddenly stopped, and he raised his head to look at him.
"What's the problem?" he asked, his expression much lighter than before.
"Second uncle, have you ever killed someone?" Xu Xihuai stared at him and asked again.
"What if you kill it, what if you don't kill it?" Second Uncle Xu asked as he put the leftover half of the cake back into the oiled paper bag.
At the same time, the others who were gobbling up also slowed down their movements, hesitating, as if they didn't know if they could continue to eat.
"My grandfather told me that to be a man is to stand up to the sky and the earth, be upright, and never kill other people's lives for yourself!"
Xu Xihuai held his head high, his eyes were dark and bright, and his words were extremely smooth, obviously brewing in his heart for a long time.
"For your own ......" Second Uncle Xu put these four words in his mouth and chewed it, and the scar on his face suddenly twisted.
"Xu Xihuai, I remember that your mother remarried five years ago, right?" he asked.
“...... Be. Xu Xihuai didn't understand what he meant, and replied a little nervously.
"In other words, you haven't been back for five years, and you don't know exactly what it's like now, and I don't blame you. Second Uncle Xu said slowly, something hidden in his words seemed to pierce people's hearts.
Xu Xihuai's breathing was suddenly a little short, he subconsciously clenched his fists, and Fang Jue secretly pinched his elbow to express encouragement.
"However, since you don't know anything, then what qualifications do you have to stand here and say this and that?" His tone was still very calm, as if there was no anger, but the next moment, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Xihuai's collar, "Lao Tzu is for himself? Do you know how many people have died in the past five years? Do you know how many people have died in the spring of your uncle and second aunt? Do you know that your uncle and second aunt's whole family were frozen to death and starved to death? Do you know that your newborn cousin died before she lived for ten hours? You don't know anything, and there is a kind of pity for outsiders here, who feel that your family has embarrassed you?!"
"It's not ......" roared in the face, like a raging storm. Xu Xihuai shrank and said a little weakly.
Second Uncle Xu was condescending, looking at him with cold eyes, at this moment, his expression was not like looking at his nephew who had been reunited after a long absence, but more like looking at the enemy who had forced them here.
But who is it that has forced them, the entire Fengchun City, to this point?
Is it God's injustice?
Is it the curse of the God of Blood?
Or are they themselves powerless in the face of successive natural disasters?
One hand grabbed Second Uncle Xu's wrist and calmly pulled his hand away from Xu Xihuai's collar.
Second Uncle Xu raised his head and met Xu Wen's gaze.
Xu Wen didn't seem to be affected by what he said just now, just looking at him.
The gaze could not be said to be calm, there were some doubts, some thoughts, and there was also a clear disapproval.
In the face of such a gaze, Second Uncle Xu's anger and injustice were wonderfully calmed down.
"Since you're already gone, let's go a little further!Don't have anything to do with Feng Chun again!" Second Uncle Xu shook off Xu Wen's hand, stuffed the oiled paper bag wrapped in food back into Xu Xihuai's arms, and turned around to leave.
When Second Uncle Xu roared at Xu Xihuai, the others didn't continue to eat, at this time, they glanced at each other, and reluctantly put the rest of the food back and gave it back to Xu Xihuai.
"Are you eating?" Xu Xihuai said to them a little stupidly, holding an oiled paper bag.
Some people turned their heads nostalgically, and some people swallowed saliva on the oiled paper bag, but they still followed Second Uncle Xu away. Not so resolute, but no one stopped.
They had returned the way they came, and it wasn't long before all of them disappeared from the hillside, and none of them were gone.
Xu Xihuai looked at them stupidly, his wide mouth gradually closed, but his eyes were redder than before.
Fang Jueming walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and a tear fell from him: "Is it that I am wrong, is it that I don't understand anything?"
"It's not. Before Fang Jueming could speak, Xu Wen spoke first.
He looked at the direction in which Second Uncle Xu and the others left, and said, "What you asked is right, above life and death, there is a bottom line." They want to live, and others don't want to die. ”
"This is standing and talking without backache!" Xu Xihuai suddenly became angry again, "People are going to starve to death, how can they manage so much? Besides, it is not only himself who starves to death, but also his whole family!"
"Yes, indeed. Xu Wen agreed with him, "They do have a reason, but those who die at their hands also have a reason to want to live." What did they do wrong?"
"What's more......" His voice suddenly lowered, and he turned his head to look at the unburied corpses in the grave.
"Killing and robbing, can you really let the people you value survive?"
