Chapter 19: The Bottom Line
Niu Dali looked at Xiao Chanhuan's face and expression carefully, and made sure that she was really relieved, and her heart was a little relieved.
Although he still didn't understand why Xiao Chanhuan was suddenly sad and sad, the current occasion was obviously not a good time to ask.
Niu vigorously pressed the doubts in his heart, first fed Xiao Chanhuan a sip of water as usual, and then simply put away his belongings, and finally turned around and squatted down, waiting for Xiao Chanhuan to lie on his back.
Niu Dali's back is very thin and not broad, but in Xiao Chanhuan's eyes, it is as heavy and safe as a mountain.
Xiao Chanhuan was in a better mood again, she curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and leaned up as usual. At the same time, he stretched out his hands and gently wrapped his arms around his neck, leaned over, and gently pressed his face against his face, and couldn't help rubbing, the uneven and slightly rough touch was a little prickly, but more of a comfort and peace of mind.
This is a very intimate and dependent action.
Xiao Chanhuan didn't explain why she did this, and Niu Dali didn't ask, he was just in front of Xiao Chanhuan's invisible, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and his eyes were bright as if they were about to glow.
Flowey trusts and relies on him!
Niu Dali suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength, and his pace of progress became more and more determined.
Niu vigorously carried Xiao Chanhuan out of the pergola, and there were some escapees around them.
It was almost time, and everyone did not hesitate to leave the pergola one after another.
There are too few young people like Xiao Chanhuan and Niu Dali who still have unlost vigor and vitality.
The vast majority of those who fled the wilderness were like walking corpses, their eyes blank and aimless, they had no direction in life, no hope, and no light.
Xiao Chanhuan has always felt very incomprehensible, obviously these deserters (of course, this also includes Niu Dali).
These escapees can be as fierce and cruel as wild beasts when it comes to stealing food, and sometimes they can even kill themselves in order to grab a little food.
Murderous, desperate, and full of malice are the common traits they show on the way to escape the famine, but at the same time, they are extremely contradictory.
It's still these savage and ruthless escapees.
They put away their sharp, sharp claws and fierce momentum in front of these good people in the restaurant, as if they were rats living in the gutter, and they couldn't see the light.
This light is Liang and others such as the restaurant, and Liang and others only need a rattan that is not hard, or a broom that is not even a weapon, to be able to drive them all away.
Dignity, Rank, Peace...... These words seem to have been carved into their bones.
They can be ruthless with the same escapees, because they take it for granted, everyone is the same class, there is no difference between dignity and inferiority, and whoever has a hard fist is the boss, and whoever has the right to the best food and water.
But what about the other side?
When facing Liang and others such as restaurants, Liang and others don't even need to make a loud sound, and emotions such as humility, timidity, inferiority, and fear have already occupied their bodies and minds first.
Little by little, these fearful negative emotions twisted into a compelling force, bending their backbones little by little, making them bow their heads and become inferior people who are despised by Liang and others.
But who knows, if there is no famine, no war, no hunger, no uprooting...... They used to be good people.
In Xiao Chanhuan's view, these consciously inferior mentality is extremely pathetic and completely incomprehensible.
Sometimes she even thinks indignantly, anyway, life can't be any worse, why should she be humbled to that point? There are so many of them, what can they do if they swarm up and grab food?
The law does not hold the public accountable!
What's more, their group of people are almost dying, so what do they care about those so-called humility and laws?
Pushed to the extreme, is there anything more important than staying alive?
At least, in Xiao Chanhuan's opinion, no.
Of course, Xiao Chanhuan once asked Niu Dali this question very seriously.
But what she didn't expect was that Niu Dali gave an answer that she would never have imagined.
She remembered that Niu Dali's gaze at her at that time was very complicated, and she was silent for a long time before she said: "Some things in this world can be done and some cannot be done. We can get what we want by means, but by no means by any means. Life can be humble, but humility must not bend our backbones. Although I haven't read for a few years, I know that people have a bottom line to live......"
Niu Dali would be so serious and solemn to say "bottom line" to her......
Xiao Chanhuan was shocked at the time.
She never thought that Niu Dali would be a teenager with such a positive outlook.
This is the complete opposite of the ruthlessness he usually shows!
Xiao Chanhuan has never seen the madness and ruthlessness of the cow when it vigorously grabs food.
Once, she even saw Niu Dali break the other party's ribs with red eyes and punches in order to grab a small piece of baked cake...... Afterwards, he shared the small piece of baked cake with her very calmly.
In fact, the pancake was only the size of a baby's palm, and the two of them split into two, and they didn't hear a sound when they drank water and swallowed it.
A little bit of things is just a drop in the bucket for their hungry stomachs.
But for this piece of water, Niu vigorously broke the other party's ribs, punched the flesh, and within a few strokes heard the bone tearing and the sound of the other party's pleading and screaming.
In fact, Xiao Chanhuan couldn't remember the taste of the small piece of baked cake, or it didn't taste at all.
Everything she eats now is like Zhu Bajie swallowing ginseng fruit, just trying to eat quickly, and she has no time to taste it slowly.
But the shock and complicated feelings at that time still left a little memory in my mind, but it was this little memory that gradually disappeared as life became more and more difficult......
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Xiao Chanhuan said that at the moment when the cow vigorously grabbed food, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a demon from hell.
But now when he said this, the light flashing behind him really stung Xiao Chanhuan's eyes!
At that moment, Xiao Chanhuan seemed to see a pair of white wings growing out of Niu Dali's back, the halo above his head was naturally glowing, and the song of Jesus sounded around him...... It's really Sue.
How so?
Xiao Chanhuan didn't believe it.
She knew that Niu Dali didn't lie to her, and there was no need to lie to her, but she just stubbornly refused to believe it.
The impact of Niu Dali on her was too great.
How can a teenager with ruthless methods still have a pure and kind heart?
This is extremely contradictory!
