Chapter 487: East Quotation (1)
After An Xiaoyu left, no one did go out of the camp to hand over a little food and water to the seven people who were expelled from the camp, and in the first few days, they were still very stubborn, still maintaining the anger in their hearts, often looking at the camp gate with hateful eyes.
When everyone went to work in the town in the morning, they walked through the wilderness outside, and they could see several of them still neatly dressed and wandering around the wilderness with nothing to do. Seeing their laid-back appearance, some people even began to envy this kind of life with nothing to do.
But soon, including the students in the camp and the seven people who had been evicted, all began to realize that no number of people could survive in the wilderness without receiving a physical assignment of work.
The townspeople were informed that the seven expelled men were traitors and could not be helped. Although An Xiaoyu is not qualified to deal with the townspeople, as residents near the border garrison camp, they are sensitive to terms such as spies, traitors, and spies.
So when they received the notification, the whole town began to engage in the action of resisting the seven people, and even when they approached the town, they would be watched by the townspeople, the adults would clench the farm tools in their hands, and the children would pick up a handful of stones from the ground and throw them in the face.
Without relief from the townspeople, no food support from the camp, the seven of them tried various ways to find food. They went to the nearby woodlands to find out if there were any wild animals that had escaped the net, they went to the poor fields of the townspeople to look for any grain left, and they even tried to storm the townspeople's homes to grab some food.
But the mountains and forests were clean, and there was no harvest at all, because the camp had been stationed for many years and the arrival of three thousand college students, and in the woodland around the land, there was not even a single pheasant or rabbit, only sparrows fluttering in the forest, but they had no way to catch one.
In the fields of the townspeople, corn, potatoes and other cold-tolerant and relatively high-yielding crops are often planted in spring, summer and autumn, but even if they are high-yielding crops, it is impossible to have too high yields under the land conditions and fertilizer conditions here.
Therefore, when the townspeople were harvesting grain, they had already picked up every potato and every corn kernel, and even before the first snowfall, the village women who had nothing to do because of the slack of farming had swept the whole world several times, how could they let these new hands find any bit of grain?
The most critical problem is the lack of water sources, they need to go deep into the mountains to get water these days, find a stream that is almost cut off, knock a piece of the water source that has been ice in the east city, carry it on their bodies, and if they are thirsty, knock down a piece and put it in their mouths to melt away.
Because there is no way to make a fire, the warmth measures are insufficient, they can only sleep in a broken nest built up with dry branches at night, and they have to eat ice every day, so their stomachs are a little unbearable, and they begin to have diarrhea in the first few days, and then there is nothing in the stomach, and after nothing can be pulled out, they begin to have crazy pain.
They all know that they need food, they need normal fresh water, they need warmth. So they began to rely on the standard daggers that had been issued at the beginning, and even held a meeting in style, set up a plan, and selected wealthy townspeople to start planning the robbery.
However, when they sneaked into the town as planned, they found that even with weapons, they were still not well-trained warriors, not comparable to the students of the mecha department. It shows that one of the most sloppy people was bitten on the calf by a domestic dog, and then several people were grabbed by the townsfolk at the same time and beaten out with sticks.
Only the two students who had been left outside to let the wind out were spared this disaster, but after hearing the fierce cries of the townspeople and the beating of sticks, the two of them fled in confusion, and they also tripped over the ridges in the night, and their hands fell on the frozen ground, and their hands were full of wounds, and their hand bones were cracked, and one even lost one of their front teeth.
Finally escaping from the hands of the villagers, they returned to lie down in their grass holes, looking at each other's miserable appearance, which was really a little bitter.
Now they have turned their clothes into messy strips of cloth, and the cotton has leaked out of the inside of their coats, and they need to stuff it back with their hands from time to time, otherwise they don't know how long it will take for the cotton in the whole dress to leak, and then they need to face death.
With frostbite on his face and hands, his body was beaten by the villagers, I don't know how many bones and joints have been injured, and it hurts to move, the worst is the one who was bitten by the dog, and the few tooth holes on the legs are bloody and blurred, and the muscles are eroded by the dog's mouth, so I can only tear the trouser legs and wrap them with strips of cloth to prevent blood loss and infection.
Of course, when they tore open their trouser legs and exposed the injured leg to the cold, they suddenly felt that the injured area was not so painful, although at first it felt painful from the cold, but after this frostbite began to get used to it, it began to cancel out the pain of the wound.
The winter night breeze blew through their leaky shacks, and their stomachs began to hurt again, and everyone curled up on the branches that pierced their faces, but they couldn't control the pain in their faces, and the colic in their stomachs made them feel like a knife spinning around in it, and they were covered in cold sweat.
They finally began to fear, feeling that their lives were threatened, and they were sure that if they continued like this, they would definitely die outside, and maybe even tomorrow spring, they might still be frozen, called the Seven Dried Corpses.
Two of the people who were instigated at the beginning began to scold the three who took the lead, and when they said it well, An Xiaoyu didn't dare to expel them, even if they were expelled, they would still be able to live, but now that people are going to die, it can be seen that the three of them are deceitful guys.
After a civil war broke out, this weak struggle finally ended in exhaustion and stomach cramps, and some people began to cry intermittently, and the sad and sad cries spread throughout the woods, making the hearts of the seven people very uncomfortable, and they began to speculate, An Xiaoyu would tell them to go back?
However, they simply don't have that opportunity.
The students who came out of the camp watched these people get worse day by day, at first they could still hang out in neat clothes, but later they were weak to lean on the rocks to bask in the sun, and they felt tired from changing angles as the sun moved.
Now, the ragged clothes on their bodies, the wounds that can be seen everywhere on their bodies, and the unconscious moans of pain that come out from time to time, make them begin to realize that the expulsion is not the beginning of leisure, but the end of leisure, so they are even more afraid of contact with these traitors, and they don't even want to look at them, for fear of being implicated.
And the recall of An Xiaoyu that they were looking forward to has not arrived for a long time, An Xiaoyu seems to have really disappeared in this place, no one told them that An Xiaoyu is not in the camp, and no one tells them that everyone has never seen An Xiaoyu again, they can only rely on the grassroots to survive.
Fortunately, the grass roots in the mountains and forests are abundant and fresh, and sometimes they may dig up the winter food that voles hide in the ground, and with this little food, they continue to survive in the wilderness of the camp and the town, although it is not decent, but it is good to keep the life alive.
And they are very glad that the rabies did not flare up, the wound did not become infected, and even the colic in the stomach began to slowly ease because they got used to it. Maybe it's because they've formed a habit in their lives, but who of them will think it through?
The way they looked at the camp in the sun was no longer the ferocity and resentment, but hope and anticipation, hoping that one day someone would come out of the camp and tell them that An Xiaoyu felt that they had had enough of the pain and could return to the camp and let them mend their ways.
However, they knew in their hearts that this was an extravagant hope, and they were still looking forward to it.
Wei Qingxuan and Xu Hewei also saw the appearance of a few of them, although they were a little unbearable, but the two of them, as the controllers of the big family, were hard-hearted and the most basic quality, so they simply didn't look at it, so they couldn't see it out of sight and out of mind, but fortunately, no one in the camp dared to discuss the matter of a few of them.
Because of this kind of killing chickens and monkeys, the reward and punishment system was implemented smoothly in the camp, and Yu Mengpu took the initiative to maintain the fairness and fairness of the system, and during the period, they also made some subtle adjustments to the proportion and details of some distribution by soliciting opinions, so that everyone felt that this was actually not bad.
However, what they are worried about is that she has never been back since Cai An Xiaoyu left that night. No one has seen An Xiaoyu again, and there is no news about An Xiaoyu's return in the camp, and Su Pi doesn't seem to have any opinions, and for An Xiaoyu's news, the above chose tactical silence.
The day after An Xiaoyu left, Xu Hewei quietly left for a while while patrolling at noon, and a plane flew in the sky, I don't know what ravine it landed, and it didn't take long to take off again, as if nothing had happened.
And not long after the plane left, Xu Hewei also returned to their place to eat and rest, as if nothing had happened.
Huang Chun didn't ask anything very sensibly, nor did he write this matter into the report, and warned the people below: "The gods fight, and you can't watch the excitement, take care of your mouths!" ”
An Xiaoyu really disappeared into this mountainous area, and some patrolmen even said that they once saw an antelope that ran like the wind, often staying next to their patrol route, and even the bullets could dodge it, but it just wouldn't attack them, but looked at the patrol team from a distance, as if they were looking for something.
Rumors began to circulate that this was the Awakened Beast on the border, and that it was looking for An Xiaoyu.
Everyone agrees on the speculation about the Awakened Beast, after all, you haven't seen any ordinary beast that can dodge a flying bullet in a flash, and then turn around and wink at you mischievously, as if it was playing with you.
But whether the awakened beast was looking for An Xiaoyu or not, and what they were going to do after finding An Xiaoyu, they didn't know.
However, the last day of the antelope has finally arrived.
While a squad was on patrol, a man in a colonel's uniform suddenly fell from the sky, showed his ID to a nearby patrol team, and ordered them to quickly return to the camp and not to patrol again today.
At the beginning, the students of the mecha department still had a lot of complaints, but the squad leader and deputy squad leader who led the team told them that that person was the colonel of the largest garrison base nearby, and he was also a great cultivator of the grandmaster realm, and he was not an existence that they could afford to provoke at all.
The students of the mecha department naturally knew what the existence of the grandmaster was, even if it was their leader, An Xiaoyu, it was only the name of a young sect, and he could only compete with the grandmaster, and he was not an enemy. So they chose to retreat, and did not confront these people with a strong force.
Of course, there are some that are more different.
For example, Wei Qingxuan and Xu Hewei, under Huang Chun's acquiescence, deviated from the retreat route and touched in the direction of the awakened beast, as well as the trio of thorns, taking advantage of the team's inattention, the three of them pretended to have a bad stomach last night, lazily hung at the back of the team, and then disappeared as soon as they turned around.
There were also some cultivators and other interests hidden in the border, and they all began to realize that around this awakened beast antelope, a huge storm was about to rise, and everyone hid under the cover of the mountains and rocks and the woods, quietly observing.
Just after the patrol team retreated and the entire mountain forest was cleared, more generals in military uniforms gathered in this direction, standing on the top of a mountain, looking down at the antelope walking in the valley, not knowing what they were thinking.
The officer with a long stick was impressively in the ranks, but he had not yet reached the master realm, and he obviously had the lowest status among this group of people. He landed beside the colonel and said, "Commander Zhang, it's this awakened beast. ”
Captain Zhang is thin and of medium height, so he can't see anything outstanding at all. But in such a place, such a person is the most deceptive, and under his unassuming appearance, there are often sharp minions, and he is a master of the grandmaster.
The aura on his body is restrained, so that people can't see what kind of laws he controls at all, and people can't see which aspect he focuses on. With a pair of jackal-like eyes, he made no secret of his ferocity and greed, and although there was no energy fluctuation on his body, his momentum was extremely powerful.
He glanced sideways, and the general holding the long stick shrank his neck, and then he heard his hoarse voice like broken glass and ask, "Is the grandmaster master you said here?" ”
The long stick looked around and said, "I didn't come, we didn't find any trace of anyone else, I think that since she didn't take this antelope away, maybe she was afraid of our search, so we didn't find anything, which just means that she doesn't have any big backers behind her, maybe she knows that she can't underestimate our roundup, so she hid." ”
Head Zhang snorted coldly: "What do you know? How could a Grandmaster retreat so easily? And even if she's not a grandmaster......"
Jackal Regiment Leader Zhang obviously knew more information than the long stick under his hand, he knew that the Imperial Capital Shaozong liked to wear a mask of ice cubes on his face, he knew that the Imperial Capital Shaozong could match the strength of the Grandmaster, and he also knew that since the Imperial Capital Shaozong had already decided, he would definitely not give up.
But he didn't say it, just groaned for a while, and began to fall silent.
The long stick found that the chief didn't want to speak, so he didn't continue to say anything, but went back and began to continue to be vigilant, to prevent An Xiaoyu from sneaking up on them, and also to prevent their allies on the surface from giving them a stab in the back at some point.
So the ghost of the West Mountain came.
It was Xishan Kill who took the lead, followed by the same number of masters, each of whom was above the strength of the master, and it looked as easy as training the younger juniors, and came to the front of Captain Zhang, and landed on the cliff, and at first glance, he also saw the antelope under the cliff, and he was a little curious.
"This is what you call a special awakened beast?" Head Zhang nodded and did not speak.
Xishan Kill continued: "I don't know where you came from so many mothers-in-law, this heaven and earth are still respected by strength in the end, just like us, if it weren't for our strength, could the benefits of this section of the border be distributed by us?" What research? It's all an outer way, and getting star energy to strengthen your own strength is the king. ”
Head Zhang laughed and shook his head, not saying anything, but the contempt on his face was clear at a glance. Xishan Kill also knew that the person in front of him was a very thoughtful existence, and there was a stronger existence standing behind him, and Xishan Kill didn't want to have any contradictions with him, so he decisively shut up.
The juniors of Xishan Kill began to exchange information with Captain Zhang's subordinates, and there were two main targets for them here, one was the awakened beast antelope below, and the other was An Xiaoyu, who interfered with their pursuit last time, they wanted to see who the sacredness was, and wanted to get a piece of the pie from under their hands.
However, they waited for a long time, and the antelope had eaten grass under it for half a day, and they did not wait for An Xiaoyu to appear. There was no news from the guards nearby, and the entire mountain forest was as quiet as just them and the antelope.
Xishan Kill frowned: "That person won't really dare to come, right?"
Head Zhang was also a little suspicious and a little slanderous, but he couldn't understand it after thinking about it, so he could only shake his head.
After waiting for a while, the Xishan ghost was a little impatient: "I think she really can't come, let's do it!" ”
Head Zhang sighed, and finally said the first sentence after the ghost of Xishan came:
"Let's do it!"
