Chapter 216: Cause and Effect!
Chapter 216: Cause and Effect!
Martin was too scared to kill them and left with his supplies. But wherever he went, their voices accompanied him.
They are no longer human, and if they are released, they will hurt people, and when he left, he sealed the entrance to the basement with bricks, in order to prevent others from hurting them.
And he has been gone for two years.
During the days of wandering, he was once in distress, and he was rescued by a monk. But in order to save him, the monk was seriously injured, and he saved him with his own life.
Martin thought he was stupid at the time, he could have avoided being injured, but in order to save a passerby, he risked his life in vain, which was incomprehensible.
The monk didn't blame him, but only sighed that his limit was approaching. In order to repay the favor, Martin stayed with the monk and took care of him for a whole week.
The monk remembered that he had a good heart, and before he died, he wrote down his stick on paper and passed it to him along with the stick.
After learning the stick method, he did good deeds all the way, never hurting the lives of others, even if he was robbed and killed, he only injured the person and took back his own things.
Later, when he returned to his former home, everything was long gone. When the brick wall was chiseled, it was found that the wife and daughter had starved to death, and only their bones remained.
In order to atone for their sins, he stayed behind to clean up and bury the dead bodies to accumulate virtue for them under the Nine Springs.
After listening to his story, Cowell was touched by the fact that he had also lost a family member. Her wife died of illness before the end of the world, and after her daughter was bitten, he kept her in a cage.
He never saw her as a walking corpse, and would visit her every day, fearing that others would hurt her, so he locked her in a secret room and visited her while no one was around.
If it weren't for Leon, his daughter wouldn't have died, and would continue to be by his side. Of course he knew she was a walking corpse, but she was still his daughter, and she was still alive!
Even if she herself is just an immortal corpse, resurrected by the mutation of the virus. But she can still move, and it is enough for him to be able to see her again.
His love for his daughter has made him psychologically distorted, and even a little sick. But at least that daughter is the sustenance that keeps him alive.
Later, the daughter of the corpse was killed, which made him completely collapse, and the whole person lived with revenge. Later, he didn't trust anyone and killed all his men.
Because of the same experience, Colwell understands his thoughts and understands his sore spots.
He has cancer, and he often has pain in his brain, and he has been taking some analgesics, or tranquilizers and other sleep aids, and now he is in an advanced stage.
He had known this for a long time, but he was carrying his wife behind his back, so he didn't tell them about it. The reason why he passed the stick method to Cowell was not long before the deadline.
Night falls.
Martin slept on the bed, lying on his side and not asleep, his eyes open and thinking about things. Cowell slept on the floor, lying on the bed and not sleeping.
"Did you sleep?"
Martin took advantage of the lack of sleepiness and wanted to talk to Cowell and want to know about him. He wondered how his eyes and hands were caused.
Cowell rolled over and said nothing. He sat up against the wall, picked up the glass on the table, and drank the cold hot water inside.
Under Martin's inquiry, Colwell also told Martin all about himself. Martin was shocked and very surprised.
"Do you believe in cause and effect?" Martin asked.
Seeing that Colwell did not answer, Martin continued, "When I was a sheriff, I shot and killed a criminal in front of his son. ”
"His son, who was only three years old, shook his body in an attempt to wake him up who was pretending to be asleep! Because he told his son that one day he was sleepy and would keep sleeping. ”
The criminal's wife, who could not stand the blow, followed him away, leaving only his children. It didn't take long for Martin to be diagnosed with cancer.
He doesn't believe it's a coincidence, maybe it's cause and effect, he destroys someone else's family, he has to bear this cause and effect, and he can't ask for it.
Just like that monk, maybe destined to meet him and die for him, this is also cause and effect.
Everyone has their own cause and effect, and Cowell's cause and effect is Martin. When he was drowning, Martin happened to pass by, rescued him, and helped him out of his predicament.
Now he has shaken off the past, no longer living in the shadows, and is a new version of himself for a better tomorrow, all thanks to Martin!
The two chatted late that night, almost talking about all the topics they could say, and some hated to see each other late. Colwell had very few friends, almost none, and Martin counted as one.
Following. Martin taught the last stick to Colwill, as a summary and test, and he fought again, guided and helped him.
He asked Colwill to let the horse come over, ready to meet the posture, Colwell charged with a stick, every move was very hard, comprehending the stick technique he had taught, and playing perfectly.
When the two were fighting, they ushered in the onlookers of the walking corpse. A walking corpse approached them from the ground, but they still didn't stop.
In order to show his strength, Martin took the initiative to retreat and give him the walking corpse to kill him. Cowell's bamboo sticks walked towards the walking corpse.
Upon approaching, Cowell stood still, suddenly staring at the walking corpse. The walking corpse was actually killed by him with a gun, and it used to be one of his subordinates in the town.
The walking corpse stimulated him, reminded him of the past, the uncontrollable memories that he had always wanted to forget and get rid of, he dropped his stick and held his head in his hands in agony.
Martin called out to him, but he was so caught up in the memories of the past that he ignored his voice. Seeing that he was in danger, Martin hurriedly ran up in two steps.
The walking corpse had already walked up to him, and Martin pushed him away, being grabbed by the walking corpse and bitten on the shoulder. He screamed in pain and pierced the head of the walking corpse with a bamboo stick.
He didn't know what happened to Cowell and why he suddenly stood still, and he didn't blame Cowell because he saved him voluntarily, maybe that's his cause and effect.
Pulling out the bamboo stick, Martin stood holding the bamboo stick with a very painful expression. He pulled down the clothes from his shoulders and found that a piece of meat had been gnawed off, leaving a gap, which was shocking.
Colwell came back to his senses, his gaze returning from the fugue to seeing the walking corpse stabbed to death, and seeing Martin bitten on the shoulder, he turned his head in anger.
"Why did you save me! Why save me! Why save me! You shouldn't save me......"
Cowell stood there and roared, his heart was actually very uncomfortable, he felt that it was not worth it for Martin to save himself, and a man like him with blood on his hands was not worth saving at all.
