Chapter 6 The Human Heart
In the next few days, Fang Yu devoted himself to cultivation, deliberately choosing the time when the yin qi was heaviest at night to cultivate, and in just two days, he actually opened up the fourth spiritual vein and stepped into the fourth stage of body refining. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This made him extremely excited, at this speed, maybe within a year, he would be able to surpass the progress of other people's lives, penetrate the ten veins, and step into the innate realm!
He had never felt so close to him as he did now, and every day was full of passion.
On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, there are still four days left before the day of the corpse tide.
In the open space of Dashu Village, hundreds of men, women and children in the village all gathered together, and Wang Wenzheng was talking.
"This year has been particularly severe, as you all know. Just last month, several more cottages in the vicinity were wiped out by a wave of ghouls. Sun Wang, tell everyone what you see. ”
Wang Wen looked at a lean man next to him with a grim face.
Sun Wangren has always been clever, cultivating in the third stage of body refining, and is responsible for sweeping the ghouls around the cottage on weekdays to protect the safety of the cottage.
Hearing Wang Wen's words, he stood up, his face full of melancholy.
"Recently, there have been more ghouls gathered around Dashu Village, and I am afraid that by the time of the corpse tide day, the number will far exceed before. And many of the fences around the cottage are broken, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold on to them. ”
Hearing his words, the men, women, and children in the open space were boiling and worried.
"So what should I do? Are we going to run away? ”
"Run? Where can I escape? Unless you can hide in the nearest few cities, it is dangerous everywhere, but how can the city be so easy to enter? ”
The villagers are a little confused, and they feel that the future is bleak.
Fang Yu was in the crowd, and he was also in a heavy mood when he listened. These **** have been cultivating hard, just thinking that they can try to improve their strength before the corpse tide comes, so as to better protect the people around them.
It's just that the time is shorter after all, and it is difficult for him to make great progress in just a few days, and the terrifying number of ghoul tides is not something he can stop alone.
"Don't panic, we still have four days to go, and we can still make some preparations."
Wang Wen spoke, and men, women, and children suddenly fell silent.
"In the past few days, everyone has tried to strengthen the fortifications around the cottage, I will name some people, and I will be responsible for sweeping the ghouls in the surrounding mountains with me these days, and minimize the number of ghouls that will come in at that time."
Wang Wen immediately named the names of many people, all of whom were Qi Inducers, and Fang Yu's name was also among them.
Wang Wen arranged things in an orderly manner, and everyone who was in a panic suddenly had a backbone and felt a lot more relieved.
Dashuzhai has been able to withstand so many waves of ghouls in the past six months, and Wang Wen's outstanding strength and leadership have contributed a lot.
"In addition, if things come to the worst point and the cottage is breached, everyone should be mentally prepared."
After Wang Wen explained everything, his expression became a little nervous, and he looked at the tall lightning strike tree in the cottage.
Everyone fell silent, knowing what he was going to say.
The lightning strike tree in the cottage may be because it was struck by the thunder, and the ghouls did not dare to approach, which can be said to be the last barrier of the big tree village.
If the cottage had been breached on the day of the corpse tide, it was conceivable that the only way to survive would be to hide in the tree hole inside the lightning strike wood.
It's just that the space in the tree hole is limited, and it is impossible for all the hundreds of people in the village to hide in it, at most dozens of them. Besides, if everyone is hiding in it, who will fend off the ghouls?
Wang Wen is talking like this now, and everyone understands that the final escape quota is to be allocated.
Whoever can hide in a tree hole will be sure to stay alive.
People are selfish, and in the big tree village, people's hearts are different for a while.
"As for the person who hides in the tree hole, I suggest ......"
"Of course it's a fight, whoever is stronger can hide in it!"
Before Wang Wen could speak, a loud voice came from the crowd.
A rugged man was behind Fang Yu, pushing him and the people around him away, and walked out with a domineering attitude.
"Thunder Tiger."
Fang Yu frowned, he was very uncomfortable hearing this person speak.
Lei Hu is the second master in the big tree village after Wang Wen, and he has the cultivation of the fourth stage of the body refining, but he is born with great strength.
Because of his strong strength, he is a bit domineering on weekdays and is not treated well by many people.
But at present, this worldly powerhouse is respected, and he can help a lot in the cottage, and everyone turns a blind eye.
At this time, he opened his mouth and walked out, and immediately received a response from many people.
"That's right! Right! As it should be, survival of the fittest! ”
Several people responded, and the response was all lonely and not weak, and they were unwilling to make sacrifices for others.
But more people choose to be silent, either as people with a conscience, or as powerless old and weak women and children.
Wang Wen frowned when he heard what Lei Hu said.
"Lei Hu, if you live together, you should unite and help each other. If the strong ones are hiding in the tree holes, who will resist the tide of ghouls? ”
"I've done a lot of things for the cottage in the past half a year, if the cottage really can't hold it, I'll leave a way back for myself, isn't it too much?"
Lei Hu looked at the many men, women and children in the field with confidence.
"Ask yourself, how much have I helped you in the past six months? How many people have survived on me? I don't want to help now, can I? ”
He said that many people were silent, and many of the villagers were honest and did not like to argue. The most important thing is that who doesn't know Lei Hu's temperament, if he refutes him, he will inevitably be put in small shoes later.
A few months ago, there was a person in the cottage who had a few conflicts with him, and then he went out to look for food and did not come back, and rumors said that he was killed by Lei Hu.
"Look at Lao Wang, everyone has no objections."
Seeing that no one refuted, Lei Hu grinned and looked at Wang Wen.
"This ......"
Wang Wen's face became ugly, he couldn't agree with Lei Hu's idea, but he was not the only one in the village who had the final say, if no one refuted him but refused, it would easily cause the fetters of the already fragile village people to fall apart.
"Everyone agrees with Thunder Tiger's approach?"
He looked at a few of the stronger friends present, hoping that they would come forward to refute it.
The eldest brother of the Huang family wanted to stand up when he got Wang Wen's eyes, but he was held down by his own brother next to him.
"Big brother, although what Lei Hu said is not kind, if we follow his proposal, we can save our lives. Although it is not kind, but the world is difficult, how can you choose? ”
Hearing what his brother said, the eldest brother of the Huang family struggled with his face, and he didn't stand up after all.
For a while, no one objected, and Wang Wen was secretly anxious.
"I disagree!"
At this moment, a clear voice sounded, and Fang Yu stepped out of the crowd and stood out.
"Xiaoyu."
Yan Zhengyun next to her was startled, she knew that Lei Hu was a person, and if her son was strong, he would be easy to get into trouble.
"You?"
When Lei Hu saw that someone stood up to oppose it, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he saw clearly that it was Fang Yu, and sneered.
"It's you boy, the guy who was banished from the city. I heard that you almost lost your life a few days ago, and the three brothers of the Xiong family never returned to save you, how can you have the face to stand up? ”
His words were mean.
He is the most annoying of the weak, especially the three brothers of the Xiong family have good strength, if they are still there, they can contribute to the village to some extent, in his opinion, it is not worth it to exchange the three of them for Fang Yu's life.
"Ghouls are terrifying, but as long as everyone works together, they may not be impossible to deal with. The tree hole of the lightning strike wood should be reserved for the old and weak, women and children, this is the way of life. ”
Fang Yu ignored Lei Hu's ridicule and said to everyone.
His eyes were clear, and his words were very determined.
Yes, he has been taught since childhood to respect the old and love the young, if the young and middle-aged people hide in the tree hollows to avoid trouble, leaving a group of old and weak women and children who have no power to fight back to the ghouls, is it still human?
People are human because they have a conscience! He couldn't agree with Lei Hu's idea!
Moreover, from the perspective of survival rate, if the master guards the cottage outside, the chances of the cottage being preserved will be greater!
"Stinky boy, are you saying I'm not human?"
Lei Hu heard what Fang Yu meant, his eyes narrowed, and there was an invisible momentum flowing on his body.
"Tree holes should be reserved for the weakest!"
Fang Yu insisted and did not flinch in the face of Lei Hu's aggressive appearance.
"That's right! Fang Yu is right, this is the right thing to do! ”
"We can fend off the ghouls, and leave the place to those who really need it!"
Most of the good people are talented, many people already have such thoughts, Fang Yu spoke, and everyone echoed.
Lei Hu saw that there were so many voices against him, and his face was uncertain for a while.
No matter how domineering he is, he doesn't dare to disobey the will of the people, especially since there is a stronger Wang Wen behind him.
"Okay, you kid will wait for me!"
In the end, he could only compromise and threaten Fang Yu in a low voice.
Fang Yu was expressionless, pretending not to hear.
Now that his cultivation has also reached the fourth stage of body refining, he is not afraid of the thunder tiger at all, but the other party doesn't know it.
"Well, since everyone agrees to do this, let's vote on the candidate who will hide in the tree hole."
Wang Wen's face widened and he proposed.
As a result of the vote, Aunt Wang, who was pregnant, Fang Yu's mother, who was frail and sickly, and some elderly people and children, were given places to hide in tree holes.
These people are not considered combat strength in the first place, and staying outside is just a burden, and they hide in the tree hole and are safe, so that the relatives outside can work more at ease.
The people who stayed outside had to fight against the tide of ghouls, and it was destined to be a difficult night, and the entire big tree village began to make efficient preparations.
This is a battle against the water, if you can't hold the cottage, there will be a lot of casualties!
"Lei Hu has always been a fierce man, Xiaoyu, you have to be careful in the next few days."
After the meeting ended, Wang Wen reminded that he was very grateful to Fang Yu for standing up, the mother-in-law in the family was pregnant, if she couldn't hide in the tree hole, how could he fight bloodily?
It doesn't matter if he dies, but his wife and children must be saved.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I'll be careful with him. However, there are some unstable factors in the cottage, and I am afraid that there will be changes in the corpse tide day. ”
Fang Yu's eyes were worried, in the Barbarian God Ancient Ridge for more than half a year, he had heard too much about the tragedies caused by the disharmony of people's hearts.
When the catastrophe comes, everyone often only cares about themselves, and many cottages are destroyed because of this.
"Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, and I will guard against them."
Wang Wen patted Fang Yu on the shoulder, telling him not to worry.
(There are more at 12 noon and 6 o'clock in the evening, and other times will be added from time to time, don't forget to collect and vote for recommendations~)
