Chapter 46: Useless Things
After hearing Cheng Bin say that he just wanted to know about the situation of another big country, Rebecca immediately realized something, she looked at Cheng Bin in surprise, and after a while she said, "There is no winner in that war. ”
"Don't worry." Cheng Bin said: "I just want to know the truth, the war is over. ”
"Are you a descendant of that country?" Rebecca thought about it and felt that since Cheng Bin took the initiative to uncover this matter, he should not be afraid to talk about it himself, so she asked, "Your family didn't tell you this?" ”
Cheng Bin shook his head and said melancholy: "There were some accidents in the middle, and I missed the most critical part. ”
He laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "You know, when I was ready to die in a war, the war was over. ”
He drank all the water in the lunch box and muttered, "There was once a chance to die in battle in front of me, but I didn't cherish it, if God gave me another chance, I would say ......"
He stood up, patted his buttocks, and shouted "QNMD!" ”
Rebecca looked at him dumbfounded, watched Cheng Bin walk back to the opposite side of the bonfire, and then asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Nothing." Cheng Bin said: "It was a daily greeting. ”
Rebecca nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Can you say that again?" ”
"Say it a few times." Cheng Bin said. Then he looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and called again.
It has to be said that the way certain words are pronounced is particularly resonant with humans, and even if they don't know the true meaning, it doesn't affect the acceptance. So Rebecca only listened to it twice and remembered it, she said it tentatively, and then said to Cheng Bin: "Is that so?" ”
Cheng Bin listened to her strange tone, laughed, shook his head and said, "A little more momentum." He waved his hand and said, "It's only right to be like me." ”
Then he shouted to the sky again.
This time, Rebecca finally learned, and let go of her voice and shouted at the sky like Cheng Bin. After hearing her scream a few times, Cheng Bin also joined in, and the two of them shouted at the sky together around the fire.
The words "QNMD" echoed in the wasteland for a long time.
Another day in the wasteland, Rebecca rubbed her eyes and got out of the back seat of the SUV, and found that Cheng Bin had already packed up his things and placed food and water for breakfast next to the original campfire, but the traces of the campfire had been removed.
She looked around, and instead of touching her breakfast, she turned out of the camp with a gun, and at a glance saw Cheng Bin busy next to the three corpses yesterday, or to be more specific, he was digging a pit.
"What are you doing?" Rebecca asked. She didn't sleep well yesterday, she always woke up, and to be honest, the wind at night on the wasteland was really a bit noisy, this was Cheng Bin drove the car down the river, the low-lying terrain is more sheltered, if you stay in a high place, it will only be noisier.
"Can't you see it?" Cheng Bin said: "Eat first, and then come over to help." ”
But he immediately changed his mind.
"Forget it." He said, "Come and work first, lest you vomit and waste food." ”
Cheng Bin had already dug a pit at this time, and the second one was almost finished. When Rebecca got to his side, he handed her the shovel, "Dig here." He gestured with his hand and said, "Dig as deep as you can." ”
Without him to explain, Rebecca already understood what the pit was for, because there was already a corpse in the pit that Cheng Bin had dug, and the pit she was about to dig was obviously for the Humpty Dumpty man.
"You should be glad." Cheng Bin said: "This guy left to you is the smallest, and you missed it." He said: "I have to say, this is a good way, it can effectively reduce the amount of earthwork, but it is a little disgusting." ”
The temperature in the wilderness at night was relatively low, and the corpses that had passed the night had no obvious signs of decomposing, but the smell was really not good, especially when one of them had a leaky stomach, so Rebecca couldn't help pinching her nose and said in a sullen voice: "Can I refuse?" ”
"Learn to respect others." Cheng Bin said: "He was killed by you, it's not too much to dig a pit, right?" ”
Rebecca thought about it and wanted to say "excessive", but it was estimated that Cheng Bin would not let go of himself because of this, so she had to resign herself to swinging a shovel.
But she soon regretted it, although this area was by the river, but the river had been dry for many years, and the amount of water flowing in it was obviously not enough to moisten such a distant place, plus it had not rained for a long time, the surface here was quite hard, and the soil dug up with a spade could not fit her lunch box, and after a few diggings, a blister was ground on her palm.
Seeing her staring at the blisters on her palms in a daze, Cheng Bin, who was standing aside and watching the excitement, laughed, "Do you want to drink some water?" ”
"You can put on gloves and feel better," he said. ”
Rebecca glared at him, and when she realized that it didn't work, she threw away the shovel.
"I'm quitting." She said, "Kill them and give them a funeral?" Does this help your ridiculous sense of morality? ”
She angrily walked up to Cheng Bin and repeated what she had just said to him, "This is ridiculous." ”
"What do you know?" Cheng Bin didn't get angry, and certainly didn't change his mind because of Rebecca's anger. He handed her the bottle of water in his hand.
"I did this for myself, but it has nothing to do with conscience and morality."
He looked at Rebecca and said, "In the wilderness, it's a luxury to talk about morality. ”
"If you live long enough in the wasteland." Cheng Bin said slowly: "If you are strong enough, you will always kill enough people." ”
He said with a serious face: "Then you will find that it is a very simple matter to take someone's life and take his belongings for yourself, the whole process does not even take a second, and the cost may only be a bullet." ”
"And then you get obsessed with this feeling, and you don't have any more awe of life in your heart."
"By that time, you will have been transformed by the wasteland, no different from the beasts that roam the land."
Cheng Bin looked at Rebecca and said seriously: "I can kill people without hesitation, but I will not despise life." Killing can be easy, but we can't make it that simple. ”
"So you're going to bury them?" Rebecca said thoughtfully.
"So I'm going to bury them." Cheng Bin said: "Whenever possible. ”
He looked at the corpse at the edge of the pit and said, "You can use this as an anchor that will hold you from becoming a murderer." He said, "At least that's what I want." ”
Rebecca looked at him silently for a moment, then reached out and took the gloves he handed over, turned around and picked up Tie Qiu and began to work hard again. Cheng Bin stood by and watched for a while, and took the shovel when Rebecca couldn't help but stop to catch her breath.
"I'll dig some too." "After all, I took the first shot in this guy," he said. ”
Rebecca didn't give in, she took a few steps back, and suddenly said, "Have you read?" ”
"What?" Cheng Bin concentrated on digging the pit, did not look up, and said, "Of course I have read it." ”
"I mean." "The way you speak proves that you have a good education and that you know the Symphony of Destiny," Rebecca said. ”
Cheng Bin glanced up at her, smiled and said, "So what? He said, "No matter how much you know, you can only occupy such a big pit when you die." ”
He said: "Even the world is destroyed, what is the use of this. ”
