71. Kindness is a burden
The Harley-Davidson raced all the way from night to day, and Ashley in the back seat also slept on Rayson's back all night.
By the time she woke up, it was already three days old, and the Harley-Davidson was still moving at full speed.
Rayson only cared about driving, and did not speak, and Ashley was in the back seat, gently hugging his waist; After a long time, he finally couldn't stand the unbearable loneliness, and took the lead in talking to Rayson.
"Uncle, the person you're looking for...... Su Ling? Is it important to you? ”
“…… Well! ”
Rayson replied in the affirmative, followed by silence.
Ashley pouted, this guy is simply a stuffy gourd, and she can only continue the topic by herself: "How important? ”
“……”
"Above all, including my life."
Inexplicably, hearing this, Ashley was a little envious of this woman named Su Ling. When Lei Sen mistakenly thought that he was Su Ling, his eyes were full of light and tenderness. What kind of charm does this woman have? Can such a fierce man with starry eyes and worries?
After thinking about it, Ashley chuckled inexplicably: "Eh, uncle? Am I very similar to the Su Ling you said? Otherwise, how could you recognize the wrong person? ”
Hearing this, Rayson's mind sank into memory unconsciously. Ashley's face shape, facial features, and contours are indeed very similar to Su Ling, and it can almost be said that they are printed in one mold, but the temperament of the two is too far apart; In Rayson's memory, Su Ling was always as warm and weak as water, but Anderley was indeed wild and rude; Su Ling dissected a rabbit for research, and he would be sad for several days; And Ashley, for killing and injuring people's blood, has no psychological pressure at all, just like everyone else in this world......
"No......" Rayson shook his head and said softly, "You don't like it, I admit it's wrong." ”
"Huh?" This answer surprised Ashley. The conversation could not continue at this point, and both of them fell silent.
Harley-Davidson came to the plains, and there was a village not far ahead, and Rayson slowed down and drove Harley into the village, trying to see if there were any shops or something, looking for supplies.
According to what Anderson told him, they were still far from Sand City, and it was conservatively estimated that it would be at least five or six days away. Rayson didn't have enough supplies on him, he needed more water, food, and gasoline for his motorcycle. Even if people can cut back on food and clothing, the fuel consumption of motorcycles is unavoidable.
After entering the village, Ashley suddenly said again: "Uncle, let's discuss, don't take me back to Sand City, let's go to those places we haven't been to and wander the world, right?" ”
Rayson was stunned, but he felt funny: "Don't talk stupid......"
Ashley pursed her mouth in dissatisfaction: "What's so good about that prison-like place, why do you have to let me go back......"
"That place, keep you alive. Much safer than if you were wandering around outside. ”
Rayson said coldly, and there was no room for negotiation in Anderley's tone.
In this era, it is not easy to grow up safely, and Granny Tang's grandson, the innocent baby, died at the hands of Madame Jane before she even had time to take a good look at the world. Unfortunately, most of the people who are in it don't realize how lucky they are. The best place for Ashley to go is to go back to the place where she grew up, which is the safest place for her.
Of course, Rayson is not all about doing good deeds, more importantly, he wants to verify his guesses, go to Ashley's father to talk about Ashley's life experience, and ask her biological mother if it is Su Ling.
From the very beginning, Rayson never had the luxury of being with Su Ling again, after all, he still had a tumor in his brain, and he was already dying. All Rayson wanted was to see Su Ling again. No matter how she is doing now, even if she is a wife and a mother......
Just see each other again; As long as he can look at her again, Rayson is willing to pay any price!
The village is neither big nor small, and it can be seen that the force of the village is weak, and Rayson has not seen any defenses in his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and he has been shuttling through the village roads unimpeded. When the villagers saw these two strangers, their faces became vigilant and frightened, and many people quickly picked up the children, turned their heads back to the house and closed the door.
Rayson can understand that in this world, most people are wary of strangers who suddenly appear, but this is not a good thing for him, and the villagers reacted to this, and he couldn't find supplies. The gasoline in Harley's tank, and the supplies left in the backpack, were not enough for Rayson and Ashley to reach Sandtown.
However, he couldn't do it if he asked Rayson to go directly to the villagers' houses to rob and loot.
After a while, the Harley-Davidson came to the rear of the village. There is a farmland where a lot of easy-to-grow crops such as potatoes and corn are grown.
There was also a well next to the farmland, so Rayson stopped the car and planned to get out of the car to fetch water.
At this moment, a child rushed out of the field, chasing a vole, and did not seem to notice Rayson, and rushed out quickly.
The vole ran as fast as he could, ran to the wellhead, and then rushed straight forward after going around the wellhead. The child was in hot pursuit, staring at the black shadow of the vole running, not paying attention to his feet, and accidentally stepped on a small gravel.
The child staggered for a moment, and threw himself uncontrollably forward, and in front of him was the well.
Seeing that the child was about to fall into the well, Rayson was quick and rushed quickly with the power of the exoskeleton. At the moment before the child fell into the well, Rayson threw himself and reached out to hold the child's head, so that he did not fall into the well.
"Hoo ......"
Rayson let out a sigh of relief, and with a little force, the child was pushed up, and took two steps backwards and sat on the ground, as if he was frightened by the moment of shock just now, and the expression on his face was still sluggish after a long time.
Rayson stood up, his coat open and the exoskeleton he was wearing underneath was exposed. Ashley hurriedly ran over and tried to pick up the child: "Child, you don't ......"
"Wow!! Iron Monster! There's the Iron Monster! Mom! ”
For no apparent reason, the child glanced at Rayson, and suddenly burst into tears without warning, startling both Rayson and Anderley.
Before Ashley could lift the child up, the child got up on his own, weeping and turning his head and running away, very fast, and crawling with a lot of rolling, as if he had seen some kind of demon or monster.
Rayson and Ashley were still in a state of confusion, and neither of them knew what had happened to the child.
Ashley looked at the child running away, then turned her head to look at Rayson, and chuckled helplessly: "Uncle, it's because you look too fierce." Look at it, it scares the children. ”
Rayson frowned and unconsciously touched his face. The beard on his face has grown very long, and his hair is constantly growing, it should be a very decadent look, but is it really that he scared him?
However, Rayson didn't care too much about this, didn't bother to pay attention to Ashley's teasing, and started to fetch water. There were ropes and buckets at the mouth of the well, and Rayson quickly fetched a bucket of water and filled his own kettle.
Ashley approached, "I can't see it, uncle." I didn't expect you to be so caring that you would save him. ”
"Save him? I just don't want him to die in this well and pollute the water. Rayson said expressionlessly.
Ashley skimmed: "Hmph, do you have to make yourself look so cold?" I'm not happy to praise you. ”
"I really didn't try to save him. In this world, don't think of people as too kind. Rayson said, inexplicably thinking of Maurice and the baby who could not be saved.
"Yourself, don't be too negotiable, don't think about who to save. Kindness is a burden. ”
Rayson stopped talking, filled his own water, and quickly filled his own kettle.
But this little water is not enough to solve the current dilemma. Even the full pot and a few bottles of water in the backpack were not enough for Rayson and Ashley, and the problem of gasoline and food was still unresolved; This village is obviously rejecting outsiders, and it may not be easy to get the supplies it needs.
Rayson looked at the crops in the field next door and was thinking about whether to go down and take some directly, when a group of villagers gathered. In the hands of these villagers, they all carried hoes, sticks, shovels and the like, and some of them even carried bows and arrows; Apparently the comer is not good.
A middle-aged woman hugged the child just now, stared at Lei Sen, who had just saved the child, without the slightest gratitude on her face, and pointed at Lei Sen's head and scolded her: "You are bullying my son, right?" ”
The child was still crying, pointing at Rayson and saying, "Mom! He's an Iron Monster! He's an Iron Monster! ”
Lei Sen frowned, and looked at the villagers who surrounded him coldly, he didn't know what the iron monster the child was talking about, and he didn't care, he only knew that if these villagers really planned to be unfavorable to him, then he wouldn't be soft, and it just so happened that there was still a shortage of supplies.
Killing intent came to mind, and Rayson secretly moved his right hand, ready to draw his knife at any time.
Anderley took the initiative to step forward at this time and stood between Rayson and the villagers: "This aunt, can you figure it out!" Who bullied your son? If it weren't for us, your son would have fallen into the well by now! ”
"Fart! Still trying to lie to me? You don't look like good people! The woman scolded and scolded, and the spit was sprayed on Anderley's face: "You were the one who came into our village last time to snatch the child and woman!" ”
At this time, Ashley was also stunned: "A woman who snatches a child? What are you talking about? We were here for the first time. ”
"What nonsense are you talking to them?!"
At this moment, a man with an angry face and a shovel in his hand, like a nervous disorder, rushed out: "You must have done it!" Give my wife and children back! ”
The man roared, brandished his shovel, and slapped Ashley's head.
