Chapter 10 Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots
The people who come aren't necessarily good or bad.
But at a time when all order has collapsed, prudence is the most basic element of survival.
Gao Yuan didn't want to give up this refuge, if the person who came was a good person, Gao Yuan would politely drive the other party away, but if the person who came tried to plunder his supplies, then Gao Yuan would take all means to protect himself,
In fact, what Luo Xingyu said was a good way, let her appear first to distract people's attention, and then jump out to sneak attack, so that the certainty of success will undoubtedly be greater.
It's just that Gao Yuan is very suspicious of Luo Xingyu's current physical condition.
"I'm fine, I'm really fine, I don't want to be alone anymore, brother, I don't want to run away, not to mention that even if I run away now, it's a death, so we might as well go together."
Luo Xingyu looked very weak, but her expression was very determined.
Gao Yuan hesitated, sighed, and said softly, "Follow me." ”
Now letting Luo Xingyu escape alone is not much different from letting her die, since this is the case, it is better to really fight together.
Gao Yuan took Luo Xingyu to the back of the outermost house at the entrance of the village.
The person who can see it from a distance is already a lot closer at this time, but there is still a distance of five or six hundred meters, Gao Yuan doesn't know if the other party has discovered him, but judging from the person's slow walking posture, he should not have been found.
"You hide here, where am I hiding, wait a while to see who comes, if it doesn't look like a good person, let's control each other first and then talk to him, no, no matter who it is, control him first."
Luo Xingyu said in a low voice: "Do you want to do it directly?" ”
Gao Yuan thought about it and felt that this matter was actually a little difficult to do.
Although it's the end of the world, you can't kill people when you see them, right? If it's just an ordinary person who has fled, and people don't have any malice, and they will shout and kill when they go up, then even an ordinary person will have to resist.
After thinking about it for a while, Luo Xingyu said: "I'll go out first, if the person who comes sees me as a girl and intends to do something wrong, then he is a bad person, you can sneak attack him from behind, if he is polite and not like a bad person, you come out and talk to him again." ”
"It's okay, you pay attention, don't get too far ahead, lest I can't save you in time, so it's decided."
After discussing the countermeasures, Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu hid in the back corner of the house, Gao Yuan was in front and Luo Xingyu was in the back, and the people who came later would inevitably pass by this old house, so it would definitely not be wrong to hide here and ambush.
With a knife in his left hand and an axe in his right, he stood at the back of the house, waiting for someone to come near.
He could hear the footsteps, Gao Yuan didn't dare to probe again, he was afraid of being discovered by the other party, and when he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, he was already close to the house, Luo Xingyu finally walked out.
"Stop! Ahem, what are you! ”
Luo Xingyu shouted, and Gao Yuan's two hands trembled slightly, which was caused by being too nervous.
"Well, you...... Are you a girl? ”
It was a man, and his voice sounded surprised, but what surprised Gao Yuan's heart was that the man who suddenly appeared was still surprised in his tone.
It's not good, it's bad.
"What are you doing, don't come here!"
Luo Xingyu shouted, and Gao Yuan panicked in his heart, so he didn't wait any longer, turned around and rushed out.
I ran through the corner of the house and saw the back of the visitor.
The person who came was wearing a green military coat, but at this time the military coat had been taken off and hugged on his left arm, and he was holding a stick on the ground in his right hand.
I don't know if it's a bad guy or a good guy, but judging from Luo Xingyu's frightened reaction, Gao Yuan judged this person to be a bad guy.
Gao Yuan didn't say anything, he raised his axe and slashed at the back of the man's head.
Be merciful, be merciless, and if there is hostility, you must make a dead hand.
The person in front of Gao Yuan turned around, although Gao Yuan didn't make a sound, but the person in front of him seemed to have eyes on the back of his head.
Turning around, he flung the coat he was holding in his left hand forward, and the stick he was holding in his right hand swooped up.
Gao Yuan was holding a knife in his left hand, and he wanted to use his left hand to open his coat, but the axe in his right hand still slashed down without delay.
But the stick stabbed directly into Takato's chest with a single blow.
The pain was severe, he stopped breathing, and the axe that he swung down his right hand fell weakly, and the left hand that wanted to block the coat could not be stretched out directly.
The severe pain made Gao Yuan's eyes appear with Venus, and he couldn't see anything at all for a while.
Immediately after, Gao Yuan felt that his right hand was loosened, but it was his axe that fell.
And Gao Yuan didn't even know how his axe fell.
When Gao Yuan was finally able to see things with his eyes, he saw that the person in front of him had turned around and looked at Luo Xingyu with a stick.
"Ahh Run! ”
Luo Xingyu's face was flushed, she was holding a knife, and her speed was slow and threatening, but she still rushed towards the person in front of Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan didn't know where the strength came from, he handed the knife in his left hand to his right hand, gritted his teeth, and rushed forward without saying a word, raising the knife and stabbing at the person in front of him.
There was a snap, and the knife held by Gao Yuan in his right hand was hit by a stick, and the knife fell in response.
Immediately afterwards, the man turned around again, he just stretched out the stick, flicked Luo Xingyu's hand out, and then parted Luo Xingyu's leg, Luo Xingyu lost his balance and stumbled forward to the ground.
But Luo Xingyu didn't fall to the ground, she was grabbed by the back while she threw herself forward.
It's so strong, it's amazing.
Gao Yuan was desperate.
"Don't move! Don't move, what are you doing! ”
Gao Yuan stopped, he waited for the person in front of him, and then he realized that the person in front of him who beat him to the ground was an old man.
His hair was gray, his beard that he hadn't shaved for a long time was also gray, and what he was wearing turned out to be a military uniform.
Old-fashioned military uniforms, army green regular uniforms, no collar badges, but I don't know why, Gao Yuan felt a lot more at ease for a while.
"What do you two young people want to do!"
The old man's tone sounded angry, and Takato stood in place, he took a step back, retreated to the side of the falling axe, and said loudly, "You let her go!" ”
Luo Xingyu struggled desperately, and she yelled: "You are stupid! Run! Run! ”
"Don't move! Are you two lacking in heart, what do I want to do, you will die early! ”
After shouting angrily, the old man dragged Luo Xingyu up, straightened Luo Xingyu who was leaning forward, and said loudly: "Stand and talk to me well!" If it weren't for the fact that you two don't look like bad guys, none of you can stand now, you can say first, why did you sneak up on me! ”
The old man let go of Luo Xingyu, but he looked majestic, but Gao Yuan didn't dare to act rashly at all.
"What do you want to do to her!"
Gao Yuan knew that he was not an opponent, but he still possessed it and quickly picked up the axe, and then he beckoned to Luo Xingyu, who had been freed, "Come here." ”
Luo Xingyu immediately came behind Gao Yuan, she picked up the knife first, but after picking up the knife, she said in a low voice: "This ...... The old man doesn't seem to be a bad guy. ”
Gao Yuan still looked at the old man, and the old man said angrily, "What do I want to do?" Didn't I see that girl was frozen, I was sweating all over my body, and I wanted to give her the coat. ”
Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu were collectively stunned for a moment, then Gao Yuan tilted his head slightly, looked at Luo Xingyu and said, "What did he do, why are you shouting." ”
Luo Xingyu said in a low voice: "He suddenly took off his coat, I'm so scared and nervous...... I shouted, but I didn't let you ...... I didn't let you do it. ”
Gao Yuan said helplessly: "I won't come out quickly as soon as I hear you shouting." ”
The old man's face softened a little, he shook his head, but he was still very annoyed and said: "You two young people are too disagreeable, this is fortunate to be me, if you change someone else, you will not be harmed!" ”
Gao Yuan said curtly: "We are afraid of hurting a good person by mistake, so we did this, this is a little, a little misunderstanding......"
Luo Xingyu said with an angry face: "Even if you have good intentions, you can say it first, you take off your coat when you come up, how do I know what you want to do, and you don't know what the situation is now, what if we meet bad people and we are killed." ”
The old man thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I really should tell you first, now in this world, who can tell the difference between good and bad people." ”
It seems that it was indeed a misunderstanding.
Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "How did you find here, what do you want to do here?" ”
The old man looked at Gao Yuan and said with a serious face: "This is my home." ”
"Your home? You nonsense, there was no one here decades ago. ”
The old man said indifferently: "But I lived here decades ago, because this is my hometown." ”
Sounds quite reasonable, Gao Yuanleng paused for a moment and said, "Your hometown? But what are you doing now? ”
"Since this is my hometown, of course I want to return to my roots."
The old man was carrying a rucksack, which was on the ground before he took off his coat, when he put the stick aside, squatted down to open the rucksack, and pulled out a box from it.
That's the urn.
"This is my wife's ashes, I want to bury her in the ancestral grave, and when I don't do it one day, I'll die here, do you believe what I say now?"
Now that Gao Yuan had believed ten percent, he no longer hesitated, and then whispered to the old man: "So that's the case, I'm really sorry, we misunderstood, so are you planning to live here?" ”
The old man nodded and said: "Yes, I must have stayed, don't worry, I'm not a bad person, you don't have to be afraid, it seems that you also live here, then let's be a neighbor, speaking of which, there has been no one in this village for decades, I didn't expect to have a neighbor when I came back, which is also very good." ”
Is it really good to be a neighbor?
Gao Yuan didn't want neighbors, but thinking about the old man's skills, and looking at the old military uniform on his body, Gao Yuan felt that maybe multiple neighbors were also good.
