Chapter 4: The Meaning of Living
The incident happened suddenly, fortunately, those who can survive in this troubled world are not dull people, everyone shouted to close the door, the lord of the wolf's den on the counter reacted quickly, and slapped it with a palm, and a steel door fell behind the little two at the door, isolating a large group of beasts outside, and everyone in the wolf's den drew their swords one after another, killing several fierce beasts that rushed in.
Although the door was closed in time, there were still seven or eight fast beasts rushing in, and everyone in the wolf's den was not surprised but rejoiced, and shouted and killed one after another, cheering that the dinner had ended.
The beast that rushed in did not pounce on Chu Xiang, who was close to the door, but bypassed him and rushed from both sides. The excited group of people swung their swords, and after paying the price of several injuries, in less than a minute, all seven beasts were killed, and their bodies were divided among everyone.
Chu Xiang slowly ate the wolf meat, and watched everyone fight with the beasts for a long time, the most powerful thing was the two men who were practicing just now, the two of them shot together, solved one in an instant, and threw it to Xiao Er to cook, the gunpowder group also killed one, the four people who fled back to the wolf's den killed one, and the other four were killed by several other groups of people. When dividing the meat of the beast, there were two groups of people who almost fought because both sides had shots, and under the round of the lord of the wolf's den, they turned into invisible.
After a bumper harvest, a few juniors suddenly became busy, and the wolf lord personally started to cook food for a group of murderers. After taking their seats, the four men who had escaped back to the wolf's den began to boast that if they hadn't attracted these beasts, no one else would have had a chance to get the delicious food that fell from the sky.
Probably in a good mood and a good harvest, a man chopped off a beast's foot and threw it to the man who was seriously injured in the previous conflict, and the seriously injured man glanced at the man, silently picked up the bleeding beast's foot and gnawed it.
"Gunpowder, where's your face?" After the commotion of killing the beast, the noisy crowd sat down, and the stupid duck suddenly cried.
"Oh! Will also run. Finding that the person on the bed was no longer there, Gunpowder laughed, not worried at all about people running away, the large group of beasts outside the door, the door was closed, who could escape.
Of course the person didn't run out, this handsome man who had been ravaged by turns many times was in front of Chu Xiang at this moment, his pale and handsome face had already been distorted and deformed, all the teeth in his mouth had been knocked out, his mouth was full of condensed white liquid, and a little fire in the depths of his eyes was like a candle in the wind, and he was covered with the smell of feces and urine.
Chu Xiang slowly ate the meat and drank the soup, not changing half a point because of the person in front of him.
Just now, when the beast rushed in and everyone was besieging him, this handsome man took advantage of the chaos to touch the opposite side of Chu Xiang and prayed, "Save me." "The low, hoarse and leaky voice was like grasping a life-saving straw.
I don't know if this person was by mistake or if he could see Chu Xiang's strength, and chose Chu Xiang to save his tragedy.
"You are not dead and you will not die." Chu Xiangdao.
The handsome man was silent, looking at Chu Xiang deadly, he understood what Chu Xiang meant. The men will not kill him, and when he dies, those people will have no one to vent to, and they will keep him alive, alive and constantly ravaged by them.
"Hey, that guy is over there." Someone pointed at Chu and shouted here.
When the elated group of people heard the shouting, they all looked over and looked forward to the staging of a good show with great interest.
"Is that kid crazy, thinking that he won't have to be if he runs there." Someone shouted.
"Lao Hei, I'm crazy and I won't give you a damn, hurry up and die of this heart." Silly Duck shouted.
"Silly duck, don't talk so desperately, maybe your kid will beg me sometimes." The man who was called Lao Hei laughed.
The handsome man glanced back and found that the gunpowder was sneering and walking over, looking at Chu Xiang's indifferent face, the only little fire left in his eyes gradually extinguished, and prayed: "I just need a chance, a chance to fight with him, let me die." ”
"Not enough." Chu Xiang raised his head and said.
The handsome man didn't understand the meaning of Chu Xiang's words, and looked at Chu Xiang's face like a stone carving carved with an axe, and the little hope in his heart turned into despair.
"People who have no value are not worth it." Chu Xiang said and continued to eat meat slowly.
A flash of fire appeared in the handsome man's eyes again, he understood the meaning of Chu Xiang's words, took a deep look at Chu Xiang, and got up to face the gunpowder that came over.
The crowd sitting and watching the show suddenly coaxed: "Gunpowder, this kid is going to duel with you." ”
"Little lady, the chrysanthemum of gunpowder is ruthless, let him have a good time."
"Gunpowder, do you want me to show you how to him on the spot."
The crowd of people who were coaxing one after another, even the people lying on the bed ran over, and everyone cheered for the handsome man, and the shouts and cheers shook the sky.
Staring at the menacing gunpowder, the handsome man clenched his fists vigorously, but his legs trembled unconsciously.
Suddenly, with a snatch, a rusty long knife was stuck in the ground, the handle was right at hand, the handsome man had no intention of pursuing the origin of the long knife, and pulled out the long knife, and his trembling legs slowly stabilized.
"Kittens and puppies dare to meddle with gunpowder, it seems that I am too merciful." Gunpowder's fierce eyes stared at Chu Xiangdao, unconcealing the killing intent in his eyes.
Chu Xiang didn't care, and drank the soup slowly.
"Gunpowder, do you have any eggs, go on, him chrysanthemum." Found things getting fun and the crowd getting even more boisterous.
"Little girl, someone is supporting you, I'm afraid of an egg, him." Someone shouted.
"Kill him, do it, kill the gunpowder."
The shouts of the crowd came and went, the handsome man held the knife tightly with both hands, and with a ruthless heart, he stepped forward and slashed at the gunpowder, and with a wave of the gunpowder, the long knife was knocked away, and the handsome man was kicked away with one kick and crashed into Chu Xiang.
Seeing that the handsome man was about to crash into Chu Xiang's body, Chu Xiang waved the scabbard lightly, and the handsome man flew out diagonally, rolling out five or six meters away.
After receiving a kick of gunpowder, the handsome man fell like a falling apart, and he could still struggle to stand up, obviously the kick of gunpowder was not heavy, and he didn't want to kill his venting tool.
"Sissy, stand up, stand up and him." The crowd shouted loudly.
Gunpowder looked at the handsome man, but the focus of his eyes fell on Chu Xiang, and the good deeds picked up the long knife that was knocked away and threw it at the feet of the handsome man, and the handsome man picked up the long knife and rushed towards the gunpowder again.
The old trick was repeated, and with another kick, the handsome man was kicked again, but this time it was not smashed at Chu Xiang, but at the table, and smashed into the broth on the table.
The scabbard swung again, and the handsome man who had slammed into the table rolled diagonally.
Everyone found that the gunpowder was still helpless The person who was sitting helplessly opened their eyes one by one, and someone shouted: "It's open, it's open, the handicap is 1:5, and the gambling girl cannon." ”
"Buy and leave, buy and leave, it's time to bet." The dealer shouted.
The crowd of onlookers placed bets one after another, and it was very chaotic.
Someone picked up a long knife and threw it to the handsome man, who rushed at the gunpowder again with the knife and was kicked twice, and the handsome man couldn't even stand on his feet, and staggered.
"Little lady, take out the strength of your, how can you kill gunpowder like this." lest the world be in chaos shouting.
Gunpowder stared at Chu Xiang who was eating, didn't look at the knife in the handsome man's hand, raised his foot and kicked over, but this time the handsome man did not cut him, but threw the knife at him, holding the gunpowder's feet with both hands, and biting when he opened his mouth.
The handsome man remembered that his teeth were all gone, and in desperation, he slammed headlong into the lower yin of gunpowder.
pinched the long knife, slapped the gunpowder over, and the handsome man was slapped so that his head turned half a circle, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground.
Chu Xiang glanced up at the handsome man who fell to the ground, lowered his head and continued to eat and drink.
"Little lady, get up, fucking get up, Lao Tzu pressed you five taels of silver, you fucking get up for Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you." Seeing the handsome man lying on the ground and not moving, someone shouted angrily.
The handsome man couldn't get up anymore, and a slap of gunpowder broke his cervical vertebrae, leaving only one mouth and two eyes to move.
A strong man who was not afraid of gunpowder ran over, pulled the handsome man to look at it, and said angrily: "Damn gunpowder, are you crazy, you are tired of Lao Tzu, break his neck and dry his eggs." ”
Hearing the strong man say this, the crowd was in an uproar and cursed one after another. The handsome man is not dead, but a moving person is completely different from a stall of immovable meat, and no one is interested in smashing a pile of meat, except for those who are perverted fetishists.
Gunpowder ignored the strong man, pinched the knife in his hand, stared at Chu Xiang for a moment, threw down the long knife, and turned back.
I didn't expect the gunpowder to admit it like this, and I didn't dare to make a move on Chu Xiang, everyone stared, you look at me, I look at you, and there was no sound for a while.
"This guy is pretty self-aware." One of the two men who was practicing just now said sarcastically.
"He doesn't want to die yet." Another humane.
"He shouldn't have taken the nickname gunpowder." The other said with a smile.
The gunpowder did not continue to entangle, and even threw down Chu Xiang's long knife, and the others did not dare to come over to find trouble, and looked at Chu Xiang from a distance to see what he did.
After the meat soup was full, Chu Xiang glanced at the handsome man who was paralyzed on the ground, the handsome man's mouth was moving slowly, Chu Xiang knew what he was talking about, nodded slightly, picked up the long knife, and the blade slapped on the handsome man's head, the handsome man's body trembled, and his eyelids slowly drooped.
Death is not scary, and sometimes, being alive is scarier than dying. But death also requires courage, greater courage than living, and there is great terror between life and death.
What Chu Xiang did was not to save him, but to give him the courage to die. The weak and incompetent, in this world, live only to suffer.
The wolf's den fell into silence, and the noisy crowd seemed to have lost the power to shout, bowing their heads and whispering in twos and threes, their eyes occasionally skimming over Chu Xiang's body, somewhat with some fear.
The night is getting deeper, and the people who are full of food and drink fall asleep one after another, and those who have no bed can only lie on the table, or shrink in the corner, but fortunately, although this wolf's den is not warm, it is more comfortable than the biting wind and snow outside.
Chu Xiang also fell asleep on the table, the long knife was placed next to him casually, and from time to time there were hidden glances passing by, ready to move.
Quietly and silently in the wolf's den, the night passed slowly, and there was nothing to do all night, Chu Xiang stretched his waist, and the bones in his body kept ringing.
Brushing his teeth and washing his face, brushing his teeth is a must-do thing for Chu Xiang every morning, he can't eat without brushing his teeth, the world has changed for two years, but this habit still can't be changed. The water was extremely cold, and Xiao Er, who was a little afraid, reminded Chu Xiang that there was hot water, and Chu Xiang shook his head. Cold water can make people more sober, this world, if you want to live for a long time, you have to go through some necessary tempering, comfort will only lead to death.
When Chu Xiang was eating breakfast, Xiao Er opened the second door, and the beasts outside the door had already retreated, except for the blood stains on the ground, there were not even bones left. The loss of a colleague made several juniors feel a little depressed, closed the first door, and silently prepared what should be prepared.
The snow is much smaller, only sporadic snowflakes fluttering in the air, and the snow on the ground is knee-length, making it extremely inconvenient to walk.
Walking north, it was dark and bright, Chu Xiang did not enter the wolf's den again to rest, he entered the wolf's den twice, and something happened twice, which made him very annoyed, he was not a person who liked trouble, and he didn't want to join in the fun.
The mountain road is rugged, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow, the sky that has fallen heavily is particularly thorough, and you can see a huge gray shadow looming in front of you from a distance, and that gray shadow is Wucheng, the largest city in the south.
This place is already very close to Wucheng, from time to time you can see the team going out to hunt, occasionally there are gunshots, and the passing hunters see that Chu Xiang is alone and does not dare to come over to cause trouble, so they avoid it from a distance. No one who can walk alone in the wilderness is a master to be provoked, and if he does not have extraordinary skills, he would have died at the mouth of a wild beast.
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs." Looking up at the gray clouds overhead, Chu Xiang sighed, and as soon as his words fell, he turned his head to look at the east.
"Looks like it's not going to be boring today." Chu Xiang laughed.
There are several figures running towards Chu Xiang in the distance, and the one in front is actually a woman, in this last days, women are not common, and even fewer women dare to run outside the city, of course, except for those who are long, I don't know if this is.
"Help, help......" Before the person arrived, the woman's rapid shouts had already reached Chu Xiang's ears far away, panicked and frightened.
Seeing Chu Xiang, the woman shouted louder, turned her head and ran straight towards Chu Xiang, and the four men behind her were in hot pursuit, and their hideous faces were faintly visible.
"Little bitch, run, run hard, see who can save you." The man's rampant cries followed.
"Help, big brother, help." The woman pounced on Chu Xiang, her steps staggered, the expression on her face was terrified, the pupils of a pair of eyes seemed to be about to dilute, looking at her face, she also had a bit of a posture, and her figure was okay, there was no variation, it was a good choice to vent.
Chu Xiang ignored the woman's plea for help, his footsteps did not stop, he staggered to the right, and continued to walk forward, unmoved. The woman was like grasping a life-saving straw, and regardless of whether Chu Xiang wanted to take care of this matter or not, she bypassed Chu Xiang, hid behind Chu Xiang, cried and grabbed Chu Xiang's hand and said, "Big brother, save me, help me." ”
Chu Xiang laughed inexplicably and said, "Why should I save you?" The voice was like this snowflake in the sky, with a kind of coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away, and quietly avoided the woman's hand.
"I, I... You save me, I'll go to bed with you. The woman was panicked and anxious, she didn't expect Chu Xiang to ask like this, and she couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. There is no flaw in a woman's words, and sleeping with one person is indeed much worse than being by several people.
Chu Xiang had a smiling expression on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, and said, "Really?" That's not bad, but I haven't tasted a woman for a long time. ”
"As long as you save me, I will promise you anything." The woman's voice trembled with fear, and she added, "I used to be the host of DGTV, and I also won the fifth place in the DG beauty pageant. ”
"yes, I seem to have taken advantage of that." Chu Xiang laughed a little nervously.
