Chapter 699 Ancient Customs

"What's next?" asked Qian Liming.

Deng Shi raised his hand to cover the sun: "These more than 50 children were taken to another small boat and smuggled to Europe. And it turned out that the ship was blown up by the ancient head and sunk in the open sea. Perhaps it was because they had dealt with the dead for too long, but from that time on, these fifty or so children had a very special ability, that is, ordinary beasts would tremble with fear when they saw them, and even foam at the mouth and fall unconscious. ”

After a pause, Master Deng continued: "This kind of thing is very wonderful, murderous or dead, it is possible. It is rumored that some swordsmen in ancient times, because they were stained with too much blood, would have a similar situation. When we were on a mission in the rainforest, we encountered some fairly old primitive tribes, where there was a custom that warriors who died because of tribal conflicts would not be buried, but would be sent into a cave, and over the years, a large amount of corpse gas was formed, which was poisonous to the human body, and could infect or suffocate people. ”

Qian Liming frowned: "What's the use of this?"

"What's the use?" Deng Shi smiled, his sunglasses reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight, "The locals will send young people with excellent qualifications into the cave, bring the necessary food and water, and if they can stay in it for seven days and come out alive, they will become the pride of the whole tribe, and they will regard them as gods and goddesses of war." In such people, there will also be a phenomenon of convulsions of animals, which in the minds of the locals, is a manifestation of divine power. ”

Shaking his head, Master Deng's tone was quite playful: "Our situation that time was very dangerous, although the individual combat ability was far stronger than theirs, but the terrain was not as familiar as theirs, and there were not as many people as them, so we were almost surrounded and suppressed." Fortunately, the captain also has this ability, and then, as you can imagine, those natives thought that another god had descended to earth, laid down their weapons, and welcomed us warmly, and the girl there, tsk, it was really good..."

Qian Liming couldn't help but exclaim: "There is still such a thing?"

"More than that, now let's talk about the beast. Deng Shi stretched out his hand and pointed to the big yellow dog at the front, his head tilted slightly, "We lived with the natives for three days and discovered a strange thing. The hounds raised by the locals, who are not afraid of the captain at all, and to him... Very kind. The intimacy was strange, even a little morbid, and we could all clearly feel that it was a kind of greed. ”

Speaking of this, Deng Shi's face suddenly became extremely strange.

Qian Liming is not a fool either, he has already realized: "You mean..."

"Hmm. Deng Shi nodded and glanced at Qin Wuchao, who was speechless beside him, "The local natives say that after the victory, they will use the corpses of the enemy to feed the hounds..."

Qian Liming's whole face turned blue: "Does this mean that in the consciousness of those beasts, the eldest brother is more like a dead person and their food?"

Deng Shi pondered for a while: "It can't be said that dogs' intelligence is much higher than humans think. They could tell the difference between the dead and the living, but the captain did touch their memories and gave them a sense of excitement about feasting. ”

"Damn, forget it, I can't listen to it anymore. Qian Liming waved his hand, took out the stainless steel wine jug, unscrewed the cap and poured it.

Master Deng shrugged his shoulders and stopped speaking.

After a while, Qian Liming approached Master Deng again, lowered his voice and asked, "Hey, you say..."

"You talk well, what are you doing so close to me, you smell of sweat. Master Deng shrank to the side in disgust.

Qian Liming stretched out his hand and grabbed Deng Shi's sleeve: "You said that the eldest brother survived in that cabin?"

Deng Shi tore off his sunglasses and looked at Qian Liming very seriously: "I know what you mean, the captain once said that in those more than 20 days, he still retained the last trace of humanity, which is the luckiest thing for him." ”

"I believe in Big Brother, but what about the others?"

Deng Shi sneered and squeezed his eyes at Qian Liming: "According to the captain, there are so many of those more than fifty children who only became vegetarians later. ”

"And what about them now, are they still blood skeletons?"

"You've got a lot of questions. Qin Wuchao sneered at his head, then reached out and patted his chest, "If they are still alive, where will they use us?" Of the more than fifty guys, half of them were trained to death by the ancient head, and half died at the hands of the captain, and in the end, he was left alone. When he left the school, he also killed the other four apprentices of the ancient head, so that the first team of the previous generation was extinct, and he was the only one left in the first team of the captain's generation, and in the end there was no choice but to run outside to pull people into the gang. These of us are all blood skeletons that have entered like this. ”

Deng Shi said: "This is what the old man himself meant, the old guy said that he only needs one apprentice, and if the captain doesn't kill them, they will kill the captain." ”

Qian Liming's face changed, he raised his head and stared at Li Qing's back, falling into silence for a while.

It is the season of spring flowers in northern China, but at this moment Longxi is already hot and dry, and the sun at noon scorches the earth, which makes people feel dizzy for no reason.

"Find a place to rest and avoid the noon sun. Caiyun suggested.

Li Qing didn't feel tired, but when he turned around and saw Qian Liming, who was sweating profusely, tired like a dead dog, he nodded: "Take a break, eat something, and avoid going on the road after noon." ”

Hearing Li Qing's words, Qian Liming was immediately relieved, found a shade and sat down, threw the big bag on his body aside, and panted for breath.

Qin Wuchao took a sip of water, leaned to Qian Liming's side, and asked with a smile: "Old Qian, how is it? There is still a long road ahead, you have to be a little mentally prepared." ”

Qian Liming was stunned and didn't say anything, lying on his back on the ground, and after a while, he was relieved, raised his finger and pointed to his backpack: "Here, there is food..."

"Eat?" Qin Wuchao rubbed his hands, excitedly unzipped Qian Liming's backpack, and immediately slapped his slap and laughed: "Hahahaha, old money, you are really interesting, you brought so many good things! Wen Yang! Wen Yang! Throw away your dry cake, what's the point of eating that thing, old money has canned food here!"

"Really?" Before Wen Yang could speak, Deng Shi stepped over first, took out a tin can from his backpack, and a bag of compressed biscuits.

Deng Shi was overjoyed, and couldn't help but raise his foot and pedal Qian Liming: "Good job, thank you, this bag will be carried by Qin Wuchao in the afternoon!"

With a grin, Qin Wuchao was full of black lines.

Caiyun sat under a big stone in the distance, gnawed on half of the dry cake in his hand, looked at the elated few people in the distance, and suddenly became unhappy, and snorted: "What do you mean, why did the cake I made become a broken thing?"

Li Qing rubbed his cheeks: "It tastes good, but it's too hard." ”

"Here you go, drink some water. Caiyun handed over the water bag casually, and the Hakka girl didn't have too many restraints, and behaved naturally and generously.

Li Qing took the water bag, took a sip of water, and then beckoned into the distance: "Old Qian, what other good things do you bring?"

Deng Shi laughed and threw the bag of things in his hand to Li Qing: "Do you want ham sausages?"

Taking the things in his hand, Li Qing tore open the package, divided half of the ham to Caiyun, and said with a smile: "The military resources made by this bastard finally have a place to use." ”

"And compressed biscuits!" Deng Shi threw a few more things at Li Qing, and then beckoned Feng Yucheng and Wen Yang to eat together. Wen Yang glanced at Li Qing, although he didn't wait to see Qian Liming, but he couldn't get along with his stomach as a man, so he walked over and started eating and drinking.

"Well, the cookies are good, the best I've had in years. Li Qing nodded again and again, and handed another compressed biscuit to Caiyun.

Caiyun directly reached out to take it, took a bite from his small mouth, then nodded his chin and stuffed half of the dry cake in his hand into his pocket.

The corners of Li Qing's eyes twitched, and he wanted to throw away half of his dry cake, but when he saw Caiyun's frugal appearance, he couldn't bear it.

"You don't understand, the war shows no sign of stopping at all, Longxi is short of materials, and life is not easy at all. Caiyun stared at Li Qing and said, reached out and snatched half of his dry biscuits, and stuffed them into the bag, "If you don't like to eat it, return me, some people can't eat it." ”

Li Qinggan laughed, a little embarrassed, and after a while, he secretly glanced at Caiyun and asked softly, "Caiyun, where are your parents?"

"Huh?" Caiyun choked on the compressed biscuit, Li Qing hurriedly handed the water bag back, she took a sip of water, and then patted her chest to slide things down, and glanced at Li Qing, "It's dead." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry. Li Qing suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Caiyun pinched off a small piece of the compressed biscuit, went to feed the pitiful rhubarb with his tongue sticking out next to him, and then said softly: "It's nothing, it was more than ten years ago." Daddy joined the army when he was young and was recognized as a good skill in the village. When I was seven years old, I came from outside the mountains to send a scientific expedition team, and paid a lot of money to ask someone to lead the way into the mountain. ”

"Scientific expedition team?" Li Qing's face was a little unnatural.

"I know what you mean, the people in the village don't believe it, but at that time, Daddy had no choice, even Grandpa couldn't stop him, he was about to be driven crazy by money. Caiyun's casual expression when he talked about it was as if he was telling the story of someone else's family.

Li Qing didn't feel that she was indifferent and ruthless, but a little distressed.
