Chapter 128: This World Is Gentle as Well

"Lot, next, I'm going to light the flint and throw it into their nest, and then all the frightened green hamsters inside will run out, as for what we need to do"

Standing in front of the mound, Liao Qi took out a few small black pebbles that had been prepared early in the morning from his cloth pocket.

After he collided with the flint, sporadic firelight began to attach to the surface of the flint.

The sparks that burst out of his sight seemed to wake up the boy, and after the look in Lot's eyes recovered a few points, the boy heard Liao Qi's last words to him.

"What we have to do is to wait for the rabbits at the entrance of the cave, and when they come out, we can hunt and kill them one by one."

"It's easy, any questions?"

Liao Qi asked Lott one last sure of the moment.

"No, understood"

Lott nodded, but anyone could hear that the emotions in the young man's tone were no longer as excited as they had been at the beginning.

Liao Qi didn't say much, but added with a final reminder as Lotte turned around the other side of the mound

"Remember, the more green hamsters we kill, the more meat the villagers can eat today, and even the richer ones can be made into jerky and used for emergency use."

"I don't think anyone wants to go through hunger again, right?"

Lott left Liao Qi and the others.

The boy was alone, and after a large circle around the mound, he found the back door of the green hamster's nest that Liao Qi said.

An iron spike was held in the hand of the young man, and the tip of the edge, from top to bottom, was facing the position of the exit, as long as a green hamster ran out, it could be pierced with an effortless blow from Lot's angle.

When he was ready, Lott took a deep breath and forced himself to stop thinking nonsense.

Like Emma said

The world is cruel, there is no right or wrong in order to survive, he, he is just

I just want the villagers to have a full meal.

Yes, that's right!

The faces of everyone who got along day and night flashed from Lot's mind one by one, and the boy strengthened his belief, and he raised the iron spike upwards and swayed it, which was the signal that Liao Qi asked the boy to send after he was ready.

It's time to get started!

Lott could feel a faint commotion on the small dirt slope beneath his feet.

After receiving the signal, Brother Liao Qi had already thrown the flint inside, although the flame was small, it was enough to make the already timid green hamsters flee in a hurry.

The amplitude became more and more apparent, and Lott held his breath and was preoccupied as the first dark shadow was about to flash out the back door

Poof!

A cold light swept over the fat green hamster's head, and before it could react, it had completely penetrated its soft body, and after a few convulsions, it was completely lifeless.

Well, that's it!

From the touch of the iron thorns, Lott could roughly judge the quality of the prey's flesh, and it was obvious that the green hamsters were definitely much better to them than those other monsters with rough skin and thick flesh.

One!

After putting the carcass of the green hamster on the iron stab aside, Lott did not dare to slack off and hurriedly focused on the next attack.

He remembered that Brother Liao Qi said that there would be a litter of green hamsters

Six or seven, right?

Then remove the green hamsters that escaped from the front door, and there should be four or five more on your side.

Here it comes!

Lott had just finished his calculations when two more black shadows flashed from the back door.

But this time, the scene is quite funny.

I saw that these two chubby green hamsters, under the extreme fear of their lives being threatened, ran away in a panic, and actually crowded each other and scrambled, which eventually led to a while, both of them were stuck at the back door of the already small one.

What's more, even the latest green hamster that also fled for its life in the back was also blocked at the door.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Of course, Lott would not let go of such a good opportunity, if these three green hamsters ran out in batches, maybe the teenager might have a headache, but now this is happening, it is really a bit ironic.

The corpses of three green hamsters were recorded in a row, counting the first one, Lott thought that he should have almost completed the task, and the green hamsters in the nest should have all been hunted.

As a sign of this, it seems that this is indeed the case, and after these three, the back door of the nest seems to be much quieter, and there is not much movement anymore.

However, for the sake of insurance and to prevent fish from slipping through the net, as Liao Qi said before, every time they can hunt one more green hamster, it means that one more person in the village can avoid starvation.

Thinking of this, Lott continued to guard the back door.

In this way, after a while, just when the teenager felt that there should indeed be almost no green hamster that would run out again

chirping

creak

The subtle sound in the lair was caught by Lot, and the boy immediately lifted his spirits and raised his iron spike again.

I saw that under Lot's gaze, another chubby black shadow gradually appeared from the back door of the nest.

But just when the boy was about to stab the iron spike straight down like before

chirping

creak

There was a cry and pleading in his voice.

The green hamster that came out this time was different from the young and vigorous ones before, it seemed to be a mother, and under its shaggy gray fur, two or three small heads poked out.

These are its children.

These little green hamsters were not like their mothers who were afraid to tremble, and they were looking at the human boy holding the iron spike above their heads with curious eyes.

At this scene, Lot, the iron spike began to pause in mid-air.

Then, when the picture appeared in the future, the boy's pupils constricted, because he saw that the female green hamster did not run away, and it seemed to know the tragic situation and experience of the first few of its kind.

It just curled up in front of Lot, as if resigned to its fate, and then little by little, little by little, the children under the fur were squeezed out.

The little green hamsters couldn't understand why their mother was squeezing them out, and they kept struggling to get back into their mother's warm fur.

But who knows

Creak!

The she-green hamster screamed angrily at her children, as if to chase them away, so that they would not come back.

The anger from the mother suddenly startled these little green hamsters.

They didn't understand why, but they trembled and began to move outward.

Out of instinct, Lott subconsciously followed the iron thorn in his hand, but unexpectedly, the adult female green hamster directly sent his body to the tip of Lot's thorns.

chirping

In a low cry of pleading, the boy understood the meaning from the eyes of the female green hamster.

It was wanted to make him

Let its children live, in exchange for its own life.

"You"

The young man's heart seemed to be hit hard under this scene, and the determination he had only strengthened before seemed to be shaken again.

Are these green hamsters doing something wrong?

No, they have no quarrel with the world, they only work hard every day for their own survival, and they just stay in their nests obediently.

And what did he do?

Destroyed their homes, mutilated their kind, and even now, is he going to kill even such a mother, along with their children?

Lott suddenly remembered that Liao Qi had said that there would only be seven or eight nests in each nest.

Now he has hunted four.

So, even if they let these three go, Brother Liao Qi and they won't know, right?

The little green hamsters turned their heads three times, not understanding why their mother was staring at the human.

It is precisely because of their slow pace that Lott has more time to think.

Let them go

Lot's mother, who gave him food during the Great Famine as a child and starved to death, came to Lot's mind.

Let them go

Lott himself, who had been sleeping in pain with his stomach clenched for countless days and nights, came to mind in the teenager's mind.

Let them go

The sarcastic voice of his sworn enemy, Karl, rang out from Lotter's heart.

"Compared to me, what have you brought to this village?"

Poof!

Blood splattered, and Lott stabbed his iron spike downward, piercing through the body of the female green hamster.

And it was precisely this moment that made the little green hamsters, who had only walked a short distance not far away, finally realize the danger of this human in their eyes.

However, it was already too late.

The boy swooped towards them, and it was impossible for the green hamster to escape Lot's hand in his infancy.

The world may be cruel

But it's also gentle.

As long as there are people

can bear the cruelty for the other party.

In this moment, Lott seemed to finally understand this truth.
