CHAPTER XXXIX
"Cheap slave! Who qualifies you to ride a donkey? As soon as he saw the golden seal, the team leader came up with a burst of fire, and there were reports from all over the R County Restoration Army that anyone with a gold seal on their faces was banished out of the wolf-hearted dog-hearted people! It's not for nothing that those exiles who dare to turn back, there were sporadic guys who were caught by the patrol a few days ago and hung alive from the willow trees on the road to R County! Now, the leader of the Vault Dweller, that little woman Mo Kui, who is weak on the outside but strong on the inside, has fallen into the hands of a patrol!
"Cheap slave! Don't get off the horse yet! As soon as the hand raised the horsewhip, the whirring torture instrument was about to beckon to the girl when he saw that he was splitting his head and covering his face! Mo Kui is just an ordinary girl, where can she avoid the methods of these soldiers, there is God in the dark, the squad leader screamed in pain, the whip in his hand flew aside, the cavalry stared wide-eyed, and looked at a figure not far away with incredible eyes--- tall and thin, wearing a close-fitting cloak, standing calmly in the dripping rain, and a huge black dog stood beside him! There are no blind or pure blue blind guys here, but more than a dozen cavalrymen know the black giant dog, which is the personal guard of the big chief--Da Hei!
Unconsciously these cavalrymen who had arrogant expressions just now, they all put down their weapons and turned their horses' heads, and the squad leader didn't even dare to pick up the horsewhip, but just straightened up on horseback, saluted a standard military salute, and only left the scene when he got Zhang Jiaming's chin.
"Maniac!" Zhang Jiaming didn't bother to explain: "You just sent it here, I'll take care of the rest." “
"Hey, hey, godfather, godfather, priest and grandfather,,, him,, he,," the person with a bad mouth became excited and spoke even more impatiently, but Zhang Jiaming had a shadow before--- he couldn't bully a madman! Otherwise, retribution will come! So he was still very patient and continued to explain: "Go and tell the priest that she will be fine, go back, the brothers are tired on a rainy day!" "Relieved to pat this honest man, Zhu Maniac will not continue to delay, anyway, he also knows that he will not say anything beautiful, since the big leader has allowed to speak, there is no other excuse to continue to stay here." Hey, hey, godfather, then I'm leaving, leaving, leaving,,,,," Zhang Jiaming waved his hand impatiently and took the reins of the donkey.
Waiting for more than a dozen soldiers of the Sixth Regiment and their deputy commanders to disappear into the shadows, Zhang Jiaming turned his donkey's head and walked towards the wilderness, in that direction, Mo Kui is familiar, it is the place where his group of people were banished, Dagu Town! In the quiet rainy night, two people, a donkey and a big dog walked on the potholed gravel road, this is a road that began to be encroached by weeds and a small number of vine plants, both sides are dense forest areas, there is no human logging, in the apocalyptic environment, the ecology is restored very quickly, but it is more than a year, the mountains here are basically a complete green world, even the brick houses of several villages are shrouded in countless plants, and you can't see the appearance of the village at all. There was a book that said that it would take more than 100 years for human buildings to disappear completely after the complete extinction of human beings, but look at the front of you, it doesn't take a hundred years for all the buildings here to be annihilated by the sea of green. Along the way, Zhang Jiaming was silent, only the rustling of raindrops and the tinkling of iron bells on the donkey's neck.
For a long time, Mo Kui, who was silent, gently reined in the reins, the donkey stopped, and the white air spewing white air only stopped for less than two seconds under Zhang Jiaming's traction, and was dragged to continue to move forward.
"Stop, Grand Chief! Can you stop for a moment? "Walking in the dark of night with a guy who is full of anger is both safe and terrifying! Yes, this person can make tens of thousands of heads fall to the ground with a wave of his hand! From the pores of his skin to every breath of air he breathed, there was countless human stinking blood! It's him, this young man, who saved the people of Li and gave thousands of Qianshou a place to live in peace, no longer coerced by zombies, and have no fixed place to live! If I have to say a little bit, this man is like a gossip array, half yin and half yang! Sometimes it makes people feel a warm sense of security, sometimes it makes people feel a chill that is terrifying, an unpredictable and eccentric man.
Mo Kui's request was answered, and in the sound of lightning, Zhang Jiaming showed his white teeth, and that kind of gloomy smile happened to be seen by this girl, which made Mo Kui can't help but shrink his body.
"You don't want to go to the bathroom, do you?" Zhang Jiaming looked at the gloomy bushes on both sides, he could sense that there were many mutated beasts moving inside, but these things also sensed their own existence, and they were all nervous and did not dare to act rashly, plus Da Hei, this guy was above the peak of the fourth rank, and he was already a master in the local powerful species, which would naturally bring a lot of pressure to the surrounding mutant beasts. "There's a lot of beasts out there that like tender meat." Zhang Jiaming blinked mischievously and smiled narrowly. "I've always been single walking between R County and Dagu Town, do you think I'll be afraid of those things?" Mo Kui fought back without showing weakness.
"Oh." Although he replied quietly on the surface, Zhang Jiaming's pupils with his head lowered instantly shrank, and he secretly scolded himself for his carelessness, it is impossible for an ordinary girl to walk alone in the wild, so this seemingly ordinary girl may also be an evolutionary? No, her performance is not beyond the ability of an ordinary person, or rather, what is so special about this mysterious girl? Zhang Jiaming's brows tightened.
"Hey, don't be so upset, you sniff." Mo Kui took out a small bottle of strange liquid from the bag under his armpit, Zhang Jiaming didn't need to get closer, he knew what it was, but in the rainy season, the smell didn't make people care a lot--- it was a pungent smell of urine. "Let me guess, you rely on the urine of this beast to hide from other predators, right?" Zhang Jiaming raised his eyebrows, he didn't know the role of that kind of thing, many fierce beasts rely on that thing to mark their territory, so that their kind dare not trespass.
"Well, you're much smarter than everyone else." The girl teased, completely forgetting that the biggest threat around her was the man.
"So, how did you get this, uh, secret weapon?" Zhang Jiaming raised his head and looked into the girl's eyes. "You're not going to want to figure it out!" Mo Kui turned over and dismounted, and the big black followed her back and entered a bush. After a few words of conversation, both sides forgot the initial hostile relationship, Zhang Jiaming sighed, and squatted on the side of the road with a wry smile. After a while, Mo Kui came back with a few more things in his hand.
"These are snakeberries and tripe nuts, last time I passed by here to pick some, just put them in the tree hole in front, I was in a hurry, I forgot to bring them back to the children in the mountains,,,,," seems to be explaining his behavior, Da Hei also has a big bamboo basket in his mouth, and he has an expression of being a traitor! He also flickered and wagged his big tail, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance. I've got a big fork! Dahei, you are a traitor, you will go in and betray the revolution immediately after a while?
"Let's go, we need to get to your town before dawn." Although Zhang Jiaming's heart was full of questions, he didn't say anything, the moment he helped the girl to get on the donkey, Zhang Jiaming smelled the girl's warm body fragrance, and all of a sudden, Zhang Jiaming felt that the hormones in his body were instantly full to the top! I'm almost going to be a big pervert again! But I'm also a person who has come over.,The ability to restrain is still there.,Although this girl is young.,It's just too tender.,It's not suitable for your taste.,Even if it's a high-IQ female college student.,Can't seduce the protagonist at all! What's more, his wife's one is not convex and backward, Mimi is firm, and the girl in front of her has offended herself more than once with her eloquence in addition to looking a little pure! Gently patted the donkey and let the beast trot, while Zhang Jiaming and Da Hei could still follow closely with a brisk walk.
"I've thought about it for a long time, Grand Chief." The girl did feel a little warmth when she was helped on the back of the horse by this strong man, even if it was fleeting, the manly breath made her deeply intoxicated for a while, a real man. But soon, Mo Kui returned to reality, secretly thinking about the cruel gap, Mo Kui couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts. "I want to ask you, why did you save me, why didn't you let those guards take me away?" Pulling the reins again, the donkey stopped going, and the beast was very unhappy with a few hooves, shook its head, and let out a loud snort to vent its displeasure.
"Tell me, did you give the order to banish us?" The girl was crying, she seemed to can't believe her own judgment, this intellectual man in front of her, would make that terrible decision? After being silent for a while, Zhang Jiaming raised his head and looked at Mo Kui who leaned over, his eyes had completely changed, becoming cold and ruthless. Mo Kui suddenly felt that a warm big hand caressed his cheek, that feeling, just like Mr. Priest treats a child he cares for, now, this feeling can be combined with a cold face that seems to reject people thousands of miles away, this mixed taste, for a while and a half makes Mo Kui completely confused!
When he touched the terrible golden seal, suddenly, Zhang Jiaming withdrew his hand, and his expression became very unnatural, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, "Yes, but, it's not." Zhang Jiaming can't explain in one or two sentences that when he was asleep, Lao Wei made many decisions in the decision-making level of R County, in fact, some of the orders were conveyed by him to his wife through his thoughts in his dreams, and then they conveyed them to other relevant personnel, it can be seen that the matter of making a gold seal was privately sent by Lao Wei and the General Staff, and then executed by Hu Kuishan, according to Zhang Jiaming's temperament, it is already a punishment to drive people away, but I didn't expect it, Lao Wei, the courtiers of the Han family, were so taboo against those rebellious guys that they actually came up with the most vicious punishment for exiled prisoners! It's basically disfigured!
"Why?" Mo Kui's body was trembling unconsciously, he felt an inexplicable grievance, and she had already heard some information from Zhang Jiaming's tone that she couldn't have guessed.
"It was a mistake, a mistake that you and I both made, and we were all punished!" Zhang Jiaming wrung his wrists, and his expression was very unnatural. "Girl, forgive those who have hurt you, and don't think too much about it." Zhang Jiaming lowered his cloak and covered his face, he didn't want the girl to see his sad expression, although he had also ruthlessly suppressed those rebels, but when he understood how his subordinates dealt with a group of rational people seeking democratic status, he couldn't bear it, did he become weak?
"I hate you! I hate you all! The girl suddenly lost control, crying loudly, Zhang Jiaming didn't know what to say, wanted to comfort her, the girl waved her hand and shook Zhang Jiaming's outstretched hand aside. Don't touch me! Why don't you kill us all, you crazy devils! Yes? Why! Don't you have what it takes? Aren't we dispensable in your eyes? Why trap us in the mountains, let us be consumed little by little by diseases and wild beasts? Is this what you, the great chief, did after saving the peoples? A series of accusations disrupted Zhang Jiaming's square inches, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Why, why don't you let me die, woo woo woo woo ,,,," The girl vented for a while, hugged her shoulders, and cried on the back of a donkey, just like a kitten abandoned by a ruthless owner in the garbage heap next to the street, which makes people listen to that kind of heart-wrenching cry is very unpleasant, especially in this rainy night, in the quiet mountain and forest area, if this sound is heard from a distance, it will definitely make the pedestrians walking at night cry out that there is a ghost! However, Zhang Jiaming, who is close to him, has a different feeling, this girl has endured too much pressure and shouldered too many people's expectations, she is already on the verge of collapse, if she is given a little more pressure, then there is no doubt that she will go crazy soon! At this moment, this girl who used to be very strong was just a weak little woman, just like many ordinary women before the end of the world, her weakness was vividly displayed. It was very sad, Zhang Jiaming took the girl off the donkey's back, like caring for a sister next door, Zhang Jiaming carried the girl into a small farm yard on the side of the road. After a while, the warm fire was lit, and Zhang Jiaming smashed all the few stools in the house that were still sturdy to make fuel. Big Black didn't come in, she was in charge of taking care of the donkeys. On the periphery of the house, dozens of huge black shadows squatted silently on top of the tall arbor forest, silently surrounding the farmhouse.
Gently wiping away the girl's tears, Zhang Jiaming's gaze softened a lot, this is the expression he often uses when he is younger than himself, but in Mo Kui's eyes, it means something else.
"Why do you want to treat us like this? Aren't we barred from entering R County? His eyes were in a trance, Mo Kui snuggled in Zhang Jiaming's arms, and asked softly: "Uncle Luo, his wife, and two daughters, they just wanted to go back to their house to find a few clothes, but your patrol team found them, and those soldiers of yours didn't even listen to half an explanation, so they hung their family of four, all of them, alive on the side of the road!" Aunt Feng was sick, and his son just wanted to go into the county to find a doctor, but as a result, they were found ,,,, by your police, and they ,,, them to be like that, so drip,,, beat him to death at the gate of the hospital! Xiao Slippery, he was only eight years old, just because he was hungry, he took a few sweet potatoes from the kitchen, and he was also ,,,," The whimpering voice sounded again, and Mo Kui's voice became much hoarse, "What mistake did we make!" Why, why should we die! Mo Kui sobbed and gently slapped Zhang Jiaming's broad chest. Wordless in response to the girl's reprimand, Zhang Jiaming's face sank like water, his original intention was to save the people, and he could also come up with an excuse to kill zombies to ruthlessly suppress those oppositionists, but he ignored one side of human nature, that is, cruel and ruthless, his own orders were tampered with too much by Lao Wei and his subordinates in order to balance the ideas of various factions in R County, but he also knew Lao Wei's thoughts very well, that is, he couldn't show those opponents the weakness of his big leader, in the struggle between the enemy and me, A show of weakness is called a signal for the enemy to gain an inch.
"Don't judge a person's life and death lightly, even the wisest and wisest people can't understand the impermanence of life!" Zhang Jiaming's face became very calm, and he muttered to himself, "Some people, many people think that he should live a long life and enjoy the wealth and glory of the world, but he passed away early and returned to the arms of the Lord!" And some people ,,," Mo Kui stopped crying, looked at Zhang Jiaming with a surprised face, and unconsciously responded to his voice and chanted together. "And some people, although they are extremely evil, many think that they should fall into endless hell, but they live a long life, and have many children and grandchildren, until the end of their lives! Is it the glory of the Lord that allows good people to enter heaven and enjoy eternal happiness earlier? Or is it the Lord's arrangement for the wicked to endure the torments of mortal sins? May the Lord guide you! Mo Kui's complexion became much better, and her expression when she looked at Zhang Jiaming became subtle.
"Girl, you are very smart, but many things are not as you see on the surface, as you are now. The priest once told me that sometimes, tribulation is also a treasure! Think of Nelson Mandela, whose 27 years in prison did not change his ideals! He has earned the respect of his enemies and all his friends, and he has achieved great things! And you, I tell you, will also get what you want, but not now! Zhang Jiaming explained to Mo Kui very calmly in an encouraging tone, "Hope will always exist, as long as you don't give up!" Mo Kui smiled for the first time, very happily smiled, so many difficulties and obstacles, let him solve them one by one, although this time he met this mysterious man, but his tolerance and patience let Mo Kui see the charm of a person, a real, can rest assured that he is a great man who entrusts his life's ambitions!
After extinguishing the fire, the two continued on their way, this time, the road seemed to become less difficult to walk, and the three-hour journey soon brought them to a pass in front of Dagu Town, after which they could smoothly enter the town in the rain and mist.
"Life in the mountains is very difficult, we try our best to collect food, but the daily ration is still scarce, you see, our people have begun to slaughter livestock, just a hundred sheep, not enough for our thousands of people, if this continues, within a month, those old and weak women and children among us will slowly freeze and starve to death in the cold winter!" Mo Kuiyao pointed to a group of people in the mountain village, Zhang Jiaming saw it, but where are more than a dozen thin men killing sheep and bloodletting, they are so thin, it is estimated that they can't even slaughter those mutant cows, so they choose relatively small goats to start, the strength of mutated livestock is very large, one is not good, if the cow breaks free, it will hurt his own people. The crowd of onlookers is mostly old, weak, women and children, all of them are full of dishes, just so weak or squatting or leaning against the wall where they are watching the men do things, many people are very weak to the extreme, no need to describe it, what Mo Kui said is the truth.
"What about the others? What are they doing? Zhang Jiaming saw that the number of people present was not the one who was driven out at the beginning, because it was the surveillance personnel arranged by Lao Wei, Zhang Jiaming didn't know too much, but the last patrol killed all the eyeliner sent by Ferdinand, some deep things, he didn't think about it at all.
"They have one of them harvesting sweet potatoes in the fields, which can satisfy hunger, which is very good food, and some of them are in the charcoal factory in the town, which is very cold this winter, and the temperature in the mountains has begun to approach 8 degrees! You see, our hunting party is back, and they always get some meat, although not much, but it always makes the stomach of the common people a little oily. Mo Kui was very excited and pointed to a group of people at the foot of the mountain, the team had approached the place where the sheep were slaughtered, and both groups began to greet each other.
"Take me down." Zhang Jiaming said to Mo Kui quietly.
After a while, the crowd at the edge of the mountain village and town all found Mo Kui's figure, and a few half-old children cheered, preemptively in front of a few men led by them, trotted all the way to Mo Kui's mount, and shouted Sister Mo vigorously! The atmosphere was very touching! Just as a few high-spirited men strode over with rifles, Mo Kui took off his cloak, revealing his face, and at the same time responded to the child very affectionately, Zhang Jiaming did not move, his face was also covered by the cloak, and the children at the scene did not immediately ask this mysterious man.
"Xiao Mo, today is a bumper harvest, we have beaten five muntjac on the mountain, there is a lot of meat, at least a few hundred catties, enough for everyone to eat for a while!" The leader, who appeared to be the leader of the hunting party, greeted him, bent down to pick up a child, and walked over with the others. "Uncle Wan, you have all worked hard!" Mo Kui looked at the harvest this time, and hurriedly distributed the fruits he picked to the children who surrounded him. The crowd gradually came closer, Mo Kui, as their spiritual leader, has been busy doing things everywhere, very popular here, every time he returns, he can always bring them some new news, even if it is not new, they always want to hear the words of their leader at the first time. Zhang Jiaming looked at the crowd coldly, unmoved, he recognized these people, many people were favored by themselves, but at the critical moment, these people chose to betray themselves!
"You went to the county seat again? How's it going? That big boss, does he have any new moves? This guy named Uncle Wan looked at Mo Kui with great concern, with a longing look in his eyes, but unfortunately, Mo Kui's expression disappointed him. The girl who lowered her head pursed her lips, as if she had words that were difficult to speak, but she raised her head very much, and her eyes quickly searched the crowd, "What about Li Qingqing?" Where is he? The girl's tone was a little flustered, as usual, his boyfriend was the first to appear in the crowd! It was very consistent, and everywhere she looked, almost everyone avoided her inquiring eyes, and no one would look at her head-on. Even that Uncle Wan lowered his head bitterly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Uncle Wan! You tell! What the hell is going on! Qingqing, what the hell happened to him? As if he understood something all of a sudden, Mo Kui looked at the captain of the hunting team with a crying voice.
"Xiao Mo, you, listen to me patiently, don't get excited, okay." Uncle Wan held the rifle in his hand, his lips were dry and squirmed for a while, but he didn't say a complete sentence. "Uncle Wan! You say! I beg you! You say! Mo Kui was so anxious that he jumped to his feet! In the last days, his blood relatives and friends have basically died, only this caring man has always followed him unabandoningly, although he does not have the skills and spirit of those masculine men, but he is Mo Kui's love object, and he has indeed undergone a lot of life and death tests! Having already heard the ominous taste in Uncle Wan's tone, Mo Kui's heart suddenly became nervous, and his panting was a little shorter!
"Xiao Mo, Qingqing is a good young man." Uncle Wan was very embarrassed to look left and right, and then looked at Mo Kui, who was so anxious that his eyebrows were burning, and he slowly opened his mouth: "It was the day before yesterday, when you went out, he said that the town hospital was short of herbal medicines, so he asked us to find them, but he was afraid that we didn't understand the appearance of herbal medicines, so he took a few nurses with him, and we originally said that we were going to arrange the militia to go with him, but he deduced that it was on the edge of the village, and there would be no ,,, result, and no one would ,,,, with him" As he spoke, Uncle Wan's voice lowered, "What's wrong with him, ,,, "Mo Kui's heart is about to mention his throat!" She didn't want to hear that terrible result!
"We didn't see him come back until dark, and the militia sent to look for him only saw a large pool of fresh blood on the ditch at the edge of the village,,,, along with the two little nurses, he didn't return,,,, and afterwards, I sent people into the mountains overnight to look for him, but I didn't find it! However, we were on the mountainside, the one in front, and we found a cave, and there were a lot of blood stains leading to it, because it was too dark, our people did not dare to go deeper, but they just put a mark at the entrance of the cave, and came back to report,,,," As he spoke, Mo Kui had fallen down softly in a loud scream.
said that it was too late, and before others could react, Zhang Jiaming had already arrived at the girl's side as quickly as a ghost, and hugged Mo Kui who had fainted, without waiting for the villagers to ask, Zhang Jiaming hugged Mo Kui, and at the same time, his cloak slowly slipped aside, and his cold face was completely exposed in front of everyone!
