Chapter 2 Cheap Sympathy
If you ask Wood how he feels right now, it's ...... A little confused.
Dizzy.
When his eyes lit up, before he could see his surroundings clearly, the whole person staggered forward a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
With a shake of his head, Wood eased the vertigo in his brain.
When he saw that he was in a dilapidated room, Wood was stunned, and his eyes hurriedly looked around, but there was an empty room around him, and there was not even a pot, just an empty room, and a broken bed had taken up most of the room.
The light shining through the door was a little yellow, and it was clearly dusk.
"It's gone... Gone...... Gone...... It's gone. β
This discovery made Wood's face change, and he hurriedly searched around, there was no inside the house, and there was no outside the house, and finally determined that he had brought nothing with him except for the protective suit, Gatling, and bullet box on his body.
This made Wood hate in his heart, the system you did too much!
But now he didn't care so much, his previous actions had already attracted the attention of the people around him, and many residents were pointing at him for a while, and their faces were clearly showing vigilance.
Seeing this, Wood didn't feel anything strange either.
People in this world are so sick, or the neurotic people here are normal people, and Wood feels that he can fit in well......
But there is nothing to be afraid of, if it is outside the city, he may still be afraid that he will not be able to enter the city, but no one in the city will care about you alone, how can there be tens of thousands of people in each post station, how can it be counted one by one.
Even if you live nearby, you may not know everyone.
Looking at the people who were talking to each other, Wood hesitated, stepped forward and raised his hands and waved, indicating that he was not threatening.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he had already looked around, the houses here were all dilapidated, apparently on the outskirts of the city, belonging to the kind of poor people's dwellings, such a place would normally not have those samurai who had been frightened into a nervous disorder.
Otherwise, when those warriors saw their equipment, they might have collapsed themselves......
After all, because they were afraid that Kabane would enter the station, they killed ordinary people.
Sure enough, after seeing Wood waving his hands, these people were not so vigilant on their faces.
An uncle with a smoking gun glanced at Wood's Gatling with some curiosity and asked, "I haven't seen you in this area before?" You're new here, aren't you? β
"Yes, I came here in Juncheng."
Wood nodded, and didn't say exactly when he came, the more vague the lie, the better, because humans are very imaginative creatures, and lies told from one person's mouth often have a very magical change when they pass through another person's mind.
"Oh, you're from Guo Gouyi. I heard that there was a famine in Guogouyi because of the poor harvest of the land in the post, so we exchanged food for a lot of labor. β
"Hmm."
Wood nodded, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, he guessed correctly, the Moth System did throw itself to the Xianjin Post.
Now all you need to determine is time and place.
If memory serves, one day in June, the Iron City would arrive at the Xianjin Post early due to the loss of the post station on the way, and another Castle with an unnamed name would arrive that night, after all, Wood would not remember this detail when he saw it.
It doesn't matter what it's called, what matters is that the city that arrives one night in June will bring Kabane here.
The rest of Wood doesn't remember very well, but he can still be sure about June, because there was a word that Wood didn't understand, Shui Wuyue, and he looked up the relevant information in order to understand the meaning of the word.
Only then did I understand that the word referred to June.
In June, the Iron City arrived early, and another Juncheng arrived at the Xianjin Post on the same night.
These three key points are linked together, and it is possible to deduce the time when the Jinyi was lost.
Wood had also thought about trying to stop the night horse from entering the Golden Station, but after thinking about it, he gave up on the idea.
Not to mention that you have no proper identity, you can't communicate with those samurai at all, and even if you can, they will never believe your words as a child, but there is a great possibility that they will be caught by that group of samurai, or even shoot themselves directly.
As for going directly to the bridge control to stop those samurai from lowering the bridge, it is even more impractical, so that there must be heavy military handles in such important places, so that no madman will run over and lower the bridge without permission.
It's absolutely impossible to put yourself in.
And there are four exits in the south, east, west, and north, and Wood can't remember which bridge it is.
So Wood has only one choice, just like the people who eat melons in the original book, go up to Jiatiecheng, as long as you are careful, you may not be able to play soy sauce to the finale like those masses.
The most important thing now is to confirm all this.
Before coming into this world, Wood had already made his plan in his mind.
Now it's just a matter of implementation.
But how to ask questions requires some skill.
After a deep sigh, a smile appeared on Wood's face: "Uncle, do you have a plank at home?" Give me some, it's a little chilly this day, and I want to fix that door. β
He just didn't have anything to say, even at dusk the temperature here was moderate, judging by the foliage, it should be between late summer and early autumn, that is to say, between June and July.
If it's June, then you need to be vigilant, because the Kabane could invade at any moment. July, on the other hand, meant that Wood was able to stay for a year.
Even if he hasn't gone back by then, with this year's preparations, he can completely integrate into Xianjinyi and grasp some right to speak, so that he can avoid the fall of Xianjinyi at that time.
If possible, he even wants to master this Xianjin Post and make up for all the loopholes in the original post station.
At that time, it is absolutely necessary to implement the strictest supervision system to prevent any Kabane from getting in, and it is better to kill 10,000 people than to let a single Kabane enter the Xianjin Post.
Because I'm here.
As for cruelty?
Wood said that for those who have nothing to do with it, what does it matter to them whether they die or not?
Because I don't know each other, I don't care!
People are often so cruel to each other, and they just show this cruelty on the surface.
"It's normal to feel cold, and it's early autumn when the water is gone, so if you're going to live in that room, it's better to fix it as soon as possible." Uncle Smoker's reply sent a chill through Wood's heart.
But he really didn't feel surprised, and he also knew a little about his own system style.
It just doesn't want to live a peaceful and safe life, and with it, what it has been saying about is an epic mission that has a good chance of becoming a reality......
"But, boy, did you come by yourself?" Uncle Smoking Gun is very easy to talk to, and he is already familiar with a few words of conversation.
A few other people are not like him, seeing that this uncle with a cigarette gun seems to have a plan to talk to this little ghost often, they are not gathering here, what should they do, and at this time everyone is basically going together.
"yes."
Wood's expression darkened, and he nodded, "I'm an orphan." β
Judging from his age, an orphan is undoubtedly the best choice, and this identity can also arouse sympathy and lower the vigilance of the other party.
"That's right."
Uncle Smoke Gun nodded, although he didn't say anything, but there was a trace of pity in his eyes when he looked at Wood, but it was just a touch, in this world, having sympathy has already shown that this uncle is still very good.
"But you're so white and a little scary, we just saw you staggering out of the room, we thought Kabane was coming."
The Smokegun shook his head and smiled, then pointed to Gatling on Wood's arm and asked, "What is this thing in your hand?" It feels very hard. β
"The world is so dangerous, so I made this to defend myself, it's very hard, and if Kabane bites me, I'll use this thing to knock out its teeth." Wood said in a joking tone.
Uncle Smoke Gun was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and laughed: "Hahahaha, young people are just good." Immediately, the old man's face became a little gloomy, and he looked up at the sky for a moment, and finally sighed.
"Indeed, this era is already very dangerous, at least I have experienced the heaven-like era of 20 years ago, but in your generation, from the moment you open your eyes, you are no longer born, but have fallen into hell!"
Wood couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, even if he could watch everyone die indifferently, he would inevitably still have this cheap sympathy, although Wood would like to completely throw away this cheap sympathy.
But, obviously, he didn't do it.
Hearing the words of Uncle Smoking Gun, I inevitably felt sympathy for the children born in this world.
But in order to save his own life, he could not hesitate to abandon these children, so Wood said...... This is cheap sympathy.
There areβ
May or may not ......
