Chapter Thirty-Nine: Old Cow

Gu San stood silently aside, watching the young man say goodbye to a cow with great sincerity.

"Are we really going to leave it here? Maybe...... Maybe we have another way? ”

"But what else can be done?"

Murong Yuhua felt sad about the words asked by Gu San, "Maybe we still have a way?" Maybe...... Maybe it can still go? ”

He doesn't regard this old cow as his personal property, he just regards it as his only companion on his lonely journey, his "second master", his only partner.

Gu San compromised under his gaze, and she approached to carefully examine the wounds on the old cow's body. The bullets punched holes in its body one after another, the blood could not stop flowing out, the old cow knelt with his legs facing forward, it trembled in pain, its breathing was heavy, and its life was passing away quickly with the mountain wind.

Gu San and Murong Yuhua shook their heads, "The bullet pierced its heart and lungs, and none of us are doctors, let alone understand the body structure of a cow." Even if we had the strength to take it with us, it wouldn't be able to find our next hiding place. ”

Murong Yuhua's gaze, which was still a little hopeful, dimmed.

"But it's already done pretty well."

As a cow, it should have followed the animal instinct to run all the way at the moment of the gunshot, but it didn't, it seemed to have the spirituality, and the moment it realized that its master was attacked, it stayed where it was, and it had no intention of running away.

"You're a warrior, Brother Niu. A true warrior. ”

Murong Yuhua sat down with the old cow in his arms, leaned his head beside it, slowly stroked the wounds on its body, and said, "You will have a good birth in the next life, don't be a cow or a human." Why don't you make a tree? Being a tree doesn't hurt so much. ”

In the mountains and forests, there are grass and trees everywhere, and the cattle are left behind, which is not a bad place. The sky was still gray and gray, the rain had long since stopped, but the sun was faint behind the clouds. The old cow's eyes slowly closed, and its blood stained the land red.

Murong Yuhua sprinkled the dead leaves and dirt on the old cow, left a hug on its cold corpse, and got up to leave.

"Is that all?" Gu San saw that he was going to leave like this, and asked, "You don't do anything anymore?" ”

"We don't have time to dig a pit and bury him."

"Yes...... You know, it's a cow. If we're just gone, maybe it's ...... next Whose table will it be on? ”

Murong Yuhua turned his head away, "I tried to change its fate and turned a cow into a warrior." But now it seems that I can't completely change its fate. What if it is taken away and becomes someone else's meal? I can't burn him to ashes in the middle of the mountains. It's too dangerous. ”

He sighed a little lost.

"I can only try not to think about its fate next. After all, we're still on the run, and we don't have time to think about it, right? ”

Gu San followed him, "Now that you've made your decision, I don't have anything more to say." ”

"So, what do you think?" Murong Yuhua asked her for advice, "Should I burn it?" ”

"As you said, it's too dangerous to light a fire deep in the mountains. And we don't have that much time. Gu San said, "All you have to do is to clean up your mood and don't think about its next fate." ”

"The only thing I regret now is losing its bell. Now that's the only relic of it......"

Murong Yuhua still didn't seem to have come out of the grief of losing his "comrade-in-arms", but he still subconsciously squatted down in front of Gu San, motioned for her to come up, and carried her over the mountain by himself.

Gu San originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Murong Yuhua's current frustrated mood, he still chose to agree, and wrapped his hands around his neck.

In this way, with guns and daggers on their backs, they set out on the mountain road again. The smell of blood remained on both of them, and in just one night, Gu San had nine more lives in his hands. And her heart has long been no longer making waves for life and death, but the young man who carries her is sad for the sacrifice of an old cow.

Murong Yuhua asked coldly, "...... Will it be made into a beef bun? ”

"Maybe."

"Beef noodles?"

"Maybe."

Murong Yuhua's sensitive heart trembled again, and he took a deep breath, trying his best to restrain his surging emotions, "But it will make other people full." Even if that person sells his morality and dignity for money. Its death eventually fills the bellies of all people in the flesh. It doesn't even distinguish who is coming. ”

Gu San listened to his babbling, and between her words, she gradually drifted to another realm that she didn't know. But she wouldn't interrupt him, and if these inexplicable words would make him feel better, whatever he wanted.

"It's a great cow," he said. Even if this cow is no different from another cow, it will end up in the belly of a man. But at least it can tell all living beings or animals when it is dying, and tell the plants that tremble in the mountain wind that it did not run away, that it rose to the occasion. It caught the bullet in its chest like a warrior, and it shed its last drop of blood under the bullet like a warrior. ”

"It is more generous and kinder than many despicable people," he said. ”

He said a lot, all the way to accompany the two of them on a long journey, Gu San didn't say a word, of course, in fact she didn't listen much, his words were like a mountain wind, whistling past his ears, probably leaving some traces, but in the end they all turned into some kind of "feeling" rather than any concrete "memory".

With Murong Yuhua sighing with emotion, it seemed that Brother Niu's "excess" had finally come to an end. He readjusted the interlocutor to the people around him and said, "Miss Gu San, from now on, I will become a bare-bones commander again. - A bandit who single-handedly challenges the rules of the world. ”

"A sentimental and easily verbose bandit." Gu Sanhui's evaluation didn't leave a little emotion, "I really don't understand, can a guy like you really survive among the most vicious criminals?" ”

“…… Some people rely on their fists, while others rely on their brains. ”

"Okay."

"I just mentioned 'Commander Light Pole' to ask you. Miss Gu San, you-"

"I don't want to."

"I haven't asked yet!"

Gu San's head rested on the side of his head, and his hands wrapped around his neck, "What else can you ask?" I'm not interested in being a 'second master' to anyone. ”

"You don't want to be a bandit? So what do you want to do? Is there any other class that is better suited to a sharpshooter like you? ”

Gu San raised his eyebrows slightly, "Warrior." ”

Murong Yuhua seemed to be a little surprised, and after a while, he quickly accepted this and sighed, "Yes, there is indeed no other choice except for the warrior." You are indeed a warrior, the kind of warrior who has seen the wind and the waves. Did you really serve in which unit did you actually serve? Other commanders? ”

After saying this, he thought of Gu San's feet again, "Could it be that you also endured the pain of traveling far away like this before, and followed the troops around with a pair of small feet?" What kind of troops recruited you? Your boss must be a great guy who can see through your appearance to see you as a warrior. After all, in this world right now, there are not many soldiers who will recruit women. ”

"I haven't served in any of the troops you know. It's a bit complicated, and I may not be able to explain it to you. ”

"I like complexity, it's fine. We still have a long way to go. Murong Yuhua carried her on his back and climbed up the mountain, "It should be enough for you to explain." ”

Gu San was a little helpless: "What if I say that I don't belong to your world?" ”

“…… Are you talking to me about the kind of 'two worlds' in the philosophical sense? ”

"Not in a philosophical sense, literally 'two worlds'."

"I have a modern education, girl. I've learned about science, and if you're going to use the Heavenly Palace and the Earth, I'm sorry I'm afraid I won't accept it. ”

Gu San said, "How many years is it now?" ”

"Hmm...... Five years of the Republic of China? ”

"Where is this?"

"Where are you referring to? Are we under our feet? Over the mountain, it should be the boundary of Fu'an County. ”

"I'm from the future. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. I've been there since 2047 fighting for the survivors. ”

Murong Yuhua's footsteps stopped, he hesitated for a long time, but still asked cautiously, "Girl...... Did you hit your head? ”

Gu San didn't have any emotional changes, and she just replied calmly to Murong Yuhua's suspicions, "I'm just going to clarify the facts with you again." It's just unbelievable and you can't believe it. If we have the chance to go back to the old town, you will find that my name is not Gu San. The owner of this body is called Zhou Hui'er, and she never left the house before I appeared. She couldn't fight, she never touched a gun. My personality is completely different from mine. ”

“…… But that doesn't prove that you're coming from the future. ”

"I really can't prove it."

Gu San's tone of voice was too calm, concise and clear, even if she said such an unbelievable content, it still shook the doubts that Murong Yuhua originally had in his heart. There was a mystery hidden in her, and from the first time Murong Yuhua saw her, these mysteries surrounded her.

For example, how a small-footed woman escaped all the way here.

For example, how did a "fifteenth aunt's wife" who was being hunted down successfully kill Commander Li and take his military uniform and weapons for her own use.

For example, she is a girl with white and tender hands, how can she kill people without blinking, and the gun can hit the center of her eyebrows.

Now she herself revealed the truth to him, but it was too absurd for him to believe. But what other reason can be explained?

Murong Yuhua turned his head sideways to look at her, "So you are really a warrior in another world?" ”

"Hmm."

"And what about friends who look like me? The one with the surname Murong - did you also know him in another world? ”

"Yes. To be precise, he's more than just my friend. ”

"He's your relative?"

"He's mine...... Lover. ”

As soon as these words came out, Murong Yuhua almost stumbled and fell on the mountain, "Lover!?" ”
