The first flower is very uncomfortable, and she is still very cold after convenience, and she doesn't think that she is delaying time, because the pain is difficult to disguise, her face is pale, and she doesn't even have the strength to speak, but is it the cold that enters the body or what? Eagle Qiu Danqing was a little suspicious and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Otherwise, I'll carry you, and I'll find a place later, so you can rest first." Diao Qiu Danqing slowly squatted down, and the first flower, who was already in pain and couldn't straighten his waist, naturally lay on his back: "Where can I rest my feet nearby?" ”

"Hmm" The first flower hurt badly, sweat oozing out, and a cramp in her stomach, as if someone had put their hand into her abdominal cavity, pinched it, no, twisted it a few times, gritted her teeth and said, "Can I trust you?" ”

"What?"

"Trust you won't hurt my family?"

Eagle Qiu Danqing was silent: "Yes, you can trust me. ”

His words made her feel a little relieved: "Turn around, the intersection you passed just now is two miles to the left......

"Niang Xipi" carved Qiu Danqing cursed two sentences in his heart, not to mention it a long time ago, at the last intersection, he had walked four or five miles. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Dihua, who was already dizzy, and his face was full of helplessness. The night around him was cold, so desolate, although he couldn't see clearly, but he knew that the surrounding area was farmland, at least it used to be, such a good farmland was desolate, so he secretly sighed the injustice of the world, how many tribes in the Western Regions have died for an oasis, and a large area of land here has been wasted, and it is really a curse of God.

Carrying the sleeping first flower, smelling the sour smell, the sour and refreshing is incomparable, I don't know how many miles to walk, carving Qiu Danqing is a little unbearable, when he decided to wake up the first flower, ask her if she pointed the wrong way, and finally saw a fire. scolded in his heart: "Where is this seven or eight miles, you pit goods." ”

Slowly approaching the sporadic source of fire, there was a kind of hidden uneasiness in his heart, a sense of panic brought by blood, he put down the first flower gently, sneaked away alone, without any movement, slightly relieved, and then looked at the middle of the fire, let his hair stand up and walked closer, only to see some corpses lying horizontally next to the fire source, with arrows on their bodies, some with knife wounds on their backs, all headless, and even more hateful, there was a child...... And the firelight is nothing more than the wanderer's shack being lit. Judging by the fact that it is still smoking, it is looted during the day, who will do anything to these displaced people? It's hard to understand.

Are these the family members of the first flower? Eagle Qiu Danqing was flushed with stomach acid, and the situation inside was even more shocking, extremely miserable, two young women died naked on the ground, with blood stains between their legs, obviously violated. Plagued people, and did not spare a life, Diao Qiu Danqing examined the body, five men and two women, plus two children, Dihua once said that she was ranked seventh, Diao Qiu Danqing's heart was filled with a trace of anger: Why don't you let Dihua "sleep forever", wake up and see this situation, I'm afraid it's better not to wake up.

Eagle Qiu Danqing checked the vicinity, it should be done by some knights, because the surrounding horseshoe prints are still very clear, there is only a broken tile jar that has been kicked over in the center of the fire, like clear water "porridge" scattered all over the ground, but some black things were found in the coals, Eagle Qiu Danqing picked it up and looked, it was actually a roasted sweet potato!

Not much, just a few, this thing is good, full, I don't have time to think about it, he opened one of them and stuffed it into his mouth, the temperature is suitable, the taste is good, even if there are a few sands, it does not affect his pursuit of a sense of hunger, just when he wants to dial another time, there is a figure in the corner of his eye, he spun in place, pulled out the golden knife, his whole body was cold, where was the expressionless Dihua standing, like dead ashes, a trace of guilt flashed in his mind, her relatives were dead, but where he was eating "their heritage" with relish.

Seeing the child's corpse, the first flower grieved and fainted to the ground.

When she woke up again, the bonfire had already been lit: "Put out the fire." ”

"Don't worry, I'm here, I'll protect you." A certain pride swelled in Danqing's heart. He had said this to a woman, and that woman was now his wife, his Ayik.

Dihua's face was full of softness, and she glanced at Qiu Danqing with emotion, lowered her head, and whispered: "Those people are so powerful, why waste your life." ”

"Qingqing's life" is so familiar, such soft words came out of Dihua's mouth, and Danqing was surprised.

"Does your stomach still hurt? Take a break, I'll keep vigil. "Eagle Qiu Danqing put the golden knife on his knees, which is quite a bit of a horizontal knife and immediately only my General Peng.

"My stomach is ......" Dihua's face flushed with a hint of red: "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry." ”

"Here you go." Carving the hatred of Danqing "Naan" tore a little and handed it to the first flower. This is their military ration, although it is soaked in water and dried, the taste is naturally not good, but the noodles are indeed real enough.

Dihua took a few small bites, drank the water sent by Diao Qiu Danqing, and stopped: "What about them? ”

There is no one else here, it is naturally the dead people, carving Qiu Danqing said: "There is a soil pit next to it, I will put them all there, tomorrow at dawn, I will find a device and bury it, you also go to tell them goodbye." ”

"Farewell?" The first flower is a little puzzled.

"Aren't they your relatives?"

"It's not."

Eagle Qiu Danqing did not give up: "Isn't that your child?" When you see him, you faint. ”

"I'm just hungry." Of course, Dihua is not just hungry, seeing such a bloody scene is not something that she can bear as a girl.

"So where are your relatives, are they nearby?"

Dihua didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "You're on the wrong track." Looking at the bewildered look on the carved Qiu Danqing, it made Dihua feel that this Shating person might not be so terrible, and even a little cute.

After talking for a long time, Diao Qiu Danqing realized that the "intersection to the left" that the first flower said before going to sleep was actually to the left when he came, and he walked back with the first flower on his back, and walked in the other direction. "Let's go!" Eagle Qiu Danqing looked at the sky, it was almost the middle of the night, and said: "Don't stay here for a long time, according to what you said, it will only take about an hour or two, and we can get to your house." ”

Dihua Yuxin couldn't bear to say: "These are headless souls, and I am afraid that I can't find the way in the underworld." ”

"What then?" Eagle Qiu Danqing said disapprerovingly: "Is it possible to find their heads and press them down?" ”

Dihua said, "These two women have heads, so it is better to tie their hands together, so that when they go to the underworld, there will be someone to lead the way, right?" ”

"You're naïve." Eagle Qiu Danqing disagreed, exposing the corpse wilderness is not a thing, in the Western Regions, the yellow sand has been rolled, even a larger camel will be submerged in the quicksand, not to mention the popular sky burial there, and people and animals are perfectly integrated at that moment. However, let's follow the customs, carving Qiu Danqing has always warned himself and his people that respecting "kindness" is a person. A person can not be kind, he can lick the blood from the knife, but when you meet others who are kind and you maintain "respect", then you are a person, not a beast. Eagle Qiu Danqing found a big ditch, first dragged a few headless corpses to the side, and when he was about to move the two female corpses: "What are you doing?" ”

"Dress them." Women's bodies are holy, and the first flower does not want them to be reincarnated naked.

Diao Qiu Danqing pointed to those clothes and said: "Although these clothes are worn, they are better than the clothes on your body, they are all rancid, it is better for you to change them with them, anyway, they are in the ground, and they wear the same thing." ”

"No, my mother said, the deceased should bring their favorite things in life, I don't know what they like, but they definitely like to wear clothes."

Seeing that Dihua's face was so resolute, Diao Qiu Danqing had to wait for her to finish her work, move the two female corpses together, one after the other, and tie straw ropes to these hard-working people.

This carving Qiu Danqing was busy alone, but the first flower didn't know where to go, and when he finished burying it, he couldn't see the first flower, he shouted twice, no one answered, pulled out the golden knife, and carefully probed, could it be that the first flower took advantage of her unpreparedness and fled?

I was wondering, and I looked at a curved hip behind a big tree.

"What are you doing?"

Dihua said: "I have seen these people before, so I guessed that they also have a bit of storage, and sure enough, I found them here." ”

Unless the wandering beggars, in this troubled world, it is impossible not to have the slightest sense of defense, a bag of food, a little reserve, can change the fate of a family, and these scavengers gathered together, they must also have their own reserves, even if they are not much, even if they are plundered, they can continue to maintain the courage to survive, but unfortunately, this time they met the devil, the demon who asked for their lives.

Eagle Qiu Danqing put away the golden knife and helped the first flower open the soil pit, and sure enough, there was a small bag.

"Potatoes?" Dihua smiled: "Brother Yu likes mashed potatoes the most." ”

"Potatoes?" Eagle Qiu Danqing was also stunned: "There are potatoes in the river, isn't this unique to the New World?" ”

"What New World?"

"On the far side of the ocean there is a continent where potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are located. All are high-yielding food crops. ”

"Yes, you should be talking about Dongying, I heard that this potato came from Dongying."

"It should be on the mainland east of Dongying." Eagle Qiu Danqing's slight voice retorted.

"I don't know about this, I haven't been to Dongying, maybe there's a bigger continent over there." The first flower did not delve into it, and said that there are three islands overseas, Penglai, Yingzhou, and Abbot, who knows if there are three more islands? Her attention was drawn to the small bag of potatoes. She counted the number of potatoes one by one, and when she saw her happy appearance, she couldn't bear to disturb her. After she finished counting, the two of them set off, walked for an hour, came to the intersection of the wrong road before, led by the first flower, only to find a road buried by weeds, and walked a few miles, and saw a dilapidated Lanruo, a lifeless and broken place.

"That's it."

"Here?" Carving Qiu Danqing is very suspicious, although the scavengers often hide in the broken tile house to shelter from the wind and rain, but this Van dwelling is really uninhabitable, the roof tiles do not exist, the surrounding walls collapsed, it seems to be man-made, leaving only two pillars standing upright in the sky, the collapsed rubble and the wall pushed to make the "main hall" unsheltered, let alone unable to stand, so late at night, there is no sign of fire, is the Dihua family living in the hole in the ground?

In Theravada Buddhism, there is a Buddhist hall for meditation practitioners to live and retreat, and there is a Buddhist hall for one or several people to live in. This place is a lord's son of the meditation place, it is remote and quiet, a few years ago when the Buddha was forbidden in the river, it was demolished, and no one came, even if the scavengers passed, there was no shelter from the wind and rain here, and it would not stay, but they never expected that there was a side house behind the covered rubble, which was the residence of the meditation practitioner, and on the day of the demolition, he hid inside, and swore not to die, and everyone did not dare to hurt people's lives, so they had to give up. The practitioner carved an entrance in the back wall and lived there for a few more years before wandering and never returning.

The first flower saw that he could not find the traces, and was satisfied, she came here at that time, but also because of a pheasant, only to find that there was a cave, their family has lived here for a year, few people come here, even if there are scavengers passing by, it is difficult to find the clues, because the ruins in front of the wall can not shelter the wind and rain, no one stays, and many disasters have been avoided.

After crossing the dirt slope next to the Van Ju, I found the entrance, and the faint light of the fire emitted out, giving people a warm feeling. Dihua put her stinky "rancid clothes" on the hanger on the eaves, which made the carving Qiu Danqing even more convinced that this was just a way for her to "protect herself", not a "preference".

The moon hung in the air, and the door was opened by a four-year-old boy, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, sleepy eyes, very surprised to see outsiders, sleepy, and vigilantly looked at the golden knife on the waist of the carved Qiu Danqing.

"See what I brought you?" Dihua put the dirt-stained bag in front of the boy, but the boy didn't move, and he smiled at him and pinched his little face.

The boy flashed to the side.

Eagle Qiu Danqing raised his hands to show his goodwill.

There was also a woman and a girl under the age of one, and when the woman saw the strange man entering, she instantly became unnatural, and then shouted and wanted to pounce on the eagle enemy.

Seeing the woman approaching, Dihua stopped her waist and hugged her, and waved her hand at Qiu Danqing: "You go out first." ”

"man, demon." The woman's hysterical roar made Eagle Qiu Danqing shudder.

"Okay." His face was black, and he was reluctant to leave the warm room, but he was helpless.

Eagle Qiu Danqing squatted at the door and was about to fall asleep, the first flower came out of the house, obviously, what kind of stimulation did the woman in the house suffer to become like this, its practical toes and toes, can think clearly, it is not easy to survive in this troubled era, especially women, Eagle Qiu Danqing waved his hand, indicating that he did not mind.

The first flower said: "She is usually normal, but I don't know what happened today." ”

Diao Qiu Danqing knew that it was actually the appearance of his man that stimulated the fear in the woman's heart: "It's okay, I'll just sleep outside." ”

"That's very good." The first flower said expressionlessly.
