Chapter 375: The Outbreak of Contradictions
Gurad was silent, as an ethereal arcane artist, he has devoted his life to all kinds of mysteries, and the seven emotions and six desires that humans possess are burdensome existences for these ethereal arcanes, and what they yearn for is absolute sanity.
Zhao Mubai looked up at the gray sky, and said to himself, "People, whether they are good or evil, in fact, they must hold on to their original intentions, and they must know what they are doing for something, otherwise what is the difference between them and the walking dead."
Goulad shook his head
"I don't understand"
"One day we will understand, so, we are born as human beings" Zhao Mubai smiled inexplicably, turned his head and walked towards the town government, leaving Gulard standing in place, savoring the meaning of Zhao Mubai's words.
"Born to be human?" Gulad's face under the mask changed, and he still didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Mubai's words.
Turning around one street corner after another, until he was sure that Zhao Mubai had not sent someone to follow him, Liu Ergou cautiously slipped to the entrance of the sewer, pushed the manhole cover open, and jumped down.
There was no light in the dark sewer, but Liu Ergou turned left and right in it with ease, until he turned the last corner and finally returned to the sewage tank.
"Brother Ergou! You're back! Yang Dan, who had been squatting in the corner with his hands and knees, had a bright look in his eyes, and rushed forward in a few steps to hug Liu Ergou.
The little head rubbed on Liu Ergou's chest, Yang Dan sniffed his nose fiercely, and his dirty hands rummaged on Liu Ergou's chest until he found the roast chicken wrapped in a plastic bag.
Rubbing Yang Dan's head with pity, Liu Ergou carefully opened the plastic bag, and the unique fragrance of roast chicken spread in this foul smelling sewage tank.
For a while, the people squatting in various positions focused their eyes on Liu Ergou's body, and the sound of saliva was endless.
Liu Ergou carefully broke off a chicken leg from the roast chicken and handed it to Yang Dan, with a little oil stain on his finger, Yang Ergou hurriedly put his finger into his mouth until he sucked off the last drop of oil stain.
"Take it and eat it, it should be cold in a while" Liu Ergou rubbed Yang Dan's little head painfully and said pityingly.
Yang Dan's pair of dark eyes stared at the chicken leg motionlessly, his dark little face was entangled, but he tiptoed and handed the chicken leg to Liu Ergou's mouth.
"Brother, you eat first, and then I'll eat again," Yang Dan said.
Liu Ergou tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled stiffly, "Brother has already eaten it, Yang Dan, you eat it quickly, otherwise it will be cold in a while!" ”
"Whew! Brother Ergou, then I really ate it! Yang Dan said impatiently.
"Eat, eat"
As soon as Liu Ergou's words fell, Yang Dan bit on the chicken thigh, and the roasted chicken thigh meat was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, so that Yang Dan almost didn't swallow his tongue.
Taking the remaining roast chicken and other food, Liu Ergou slowly walked to the mayor's side, "Mayor of the town, these are all given by those people, you can share a point"
"Ergou, I thank you on behalf of our backing town, without you, I'm afraid our group of people would have been gone a long time ago" The mayor said and bent down and bowed to Liu Ergou!
Seeing this, Liu Ergou hurriedly hugged the mayor, "Mayor, aren't you breaking my life, don't be like this, I can't afford it" Liu Ergou said with a wry smile.
The mayor took the food from Liu Ergou's hand tremblingly, and most of the rest except for roast chicken were bread and steamed buns, and all of them together were just as many as a small schoolbag.
Without thinking, the mayor took out a few steamed buns and stuffed them into Liu Ergou's arms, "Ergou, you have these steamed buns, you haven't eaten well in the past few days, take advantage of this time to eat more, otherwise your body will not be able to survive"
Liu Ergou didn't want to take it, but when he thought of Yang Dan's already thin body, he finally held the steamed bun in the mayor's hand.
"Mayor Town, let's give everyone a shot for the rest" Liu Ergou saw the eager eyes of the people around him.
As soon as he said this, he immediately got the satisfaction of most people, "Yes, Ergou is right, the mayor of the town should quickly divide the rest for us, I'm really hungry!" ”
"That's it! I naturally know how to divide the rest of the food! Lao Li's family, you hurry up and boil some rice porridge, and give these steamed buns to the old man and the children."
The mayor of the town has been in the backing town for at least thirty years, and his prestige has been unmatched for thirty years, but as long as there is a little matter, as long as he intervenes, it cannot be solved.
Lao Li's family is a typical rural woman, with a thick waist and big arms and a big buttocks, although she is mediocre in appearance and can even be said to be ugly, but she is one of the best family experts in the mountain town, I don't know how many people envy Lao Li for being able to marry such a hard-working and capable wife.
"Okay, old mayor, wait a minute, I'll get it!" Lao Li's voice is rough, and it doesn't seem to sound like a woman at all.
No one dared to disobey the old mayor's words, but there were so many people in the entire sewage storage tank, throwing out the old people and children, as well as most of the middle-aged people.
The old mayor didn't give them food, and they didn't dare to grab it, but some people paid attention to Liu Ergou.
"Ergou, you see, your brother and I have been drinking rice porridge for a month, and your brother Lin is now too thin to speak, so can you give us some steamed buns" A woman leaned over to Liu Ergou's side and rubbed her hands and said.
Liu Ergou looked at the steamed bun in his hand when he heard this, and the white surface as snow seemed to be faintly fragrant.
"Ergou, you see that you and Brother Lin usually take care of you and Yang Dan, but now that there is such a thing, you can't forget our previous relationship."
Seeing Liu Ergou's hesitant expression, the middle-aged woman's face changed, and she continued to add fuel and vinegar to it.
These two people do take good care of Liu Ergou and Yang Dan in normal times, thinking of all the things that have happened, Liu Ergou gritted his teeth and handed over a steamed bun in his hand.
"Sister-in-law, you see that I don't have a few on my hands, and Yang Dan is not in good health, so I have to leave a few steamed buns for him, so I can only give you one" Liu Ergou gritted his teeth and said.
Hurriedly took the steamed bun in Liu Ergou's hand, and Sister-in-law Lin's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay!" One is enough, or our two dogs are sensible, you and Brother Lin didn't help you in vain at that time! ”
The sister-in-law of the Lin family took the steamed bun and left, but what happened between him and Liu Ergou made more people think.
For a while, Liu Ergou's surroundings were full of people, and the purpose of these people was nothing more than one, that is, to get the steamed buns in Liu Ergou's hands.
If it was given to the sister-in-law of the Lin family at the beginning, in the past, he and Yang Dan were taken care of by the Lin family, then now Liu Ergou has to give it.
After all, in the past, they were all neighbors who looked down and didn't look up, and Liu Ergou really couldn't refuse, but the steamed buns in his hand were limited, and there were only five in total.
In a blink of an eye, there was only one steamed bun left in Liu Ergou's hand, but there were more and more people around.
"Everyone, don't squeeze it, I don't have steamed buns now, let's go back quickly!"
Liu Ergou's words stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and those who didn't get the steamed buns began to be unhappy.
"Don't you have another one in your hand? Why don't you say there is any! ”
"I think you just don't want to give, Liu Ergou, why are you like this, we usually take care of you in vain, if you and Yang Dan didn't have us, you and Yang Dan could grow so big!"
As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and the townspeople in the mountain town are rustic, at least most of them are rustic, but there are always a small number of people who are not.
This person is all selfish, if everyone eats white porridge in normal times, then maybe these people don't care, but obviously someone has already got steamed buns, and there are differences between the two sides, which makes these people have been backlogged for a long time The anger comes out!
They completely forgot that they actually had nothing to do with Liu Ergou in the past, and selectively ignored that Liu Ergou had no obligation to give them food at all.
"Liu Ergou, I think you are a white-eyed wolf, thanks to our backer town, you and Yang Dan have been pulled from childhood to adulthood, and now you are not even willing to give a little food!"
All kinds of vicious words pierced Liu Ergou's heart like a knife, he didn't understand what happened to these people in front of him who fell to the ground, why did the townspeople who looked kind and inviting in the past become so hateful now!
"Brother" Yang Dan timidly pulled the corner of Liu Ergou's clothes, his eyes were full of fear, and he was still holding the uneaten chicken leg in his hand.
Hunger and death can tear the last fig leaf and expose the abominable side of human nature.
Among the people who have been completely occupied by hunger, I don't know who stretched out their hand to Yang Dan, and with severe pain, the chicken leg that Yang Dan has not finished eating has been snatched away!
Yang Dan subconsciously exclaimed, looking at his empty left hand, his small mouth was deflated, and his eyes were red, "Brother, chicken legs, chicken legs were snatched away!" ”
Liu Ergou was already on the verge of patience, and Yang Dan's words completely detonated it!
"Get out of here!" Liu Ergou's face was distorted and he shouted.
In the eyes of the townspeople of Gushan Town, Liu Ergou always gives everyone the impression that he is smiling and grinning, and his temper is also very good, even if he is scolded, he will not talk back.
It was precisely because of this that they dared to ask Liu Ergou for steamed buns, but now Liu Ergou's loud shout made everyone subconsciously take a step back, looking at Liu Ergou in disbelief.
Liu Ergou's eyes were red, in the past, it didn't matter if he wanted to say that he was wronged, but these people actually attacked Yang Dan, which Liu Ergou did not allow!
The eyes were as sharp as knives, but all the people who were watched by Liu Ergou were subconsciously excited, and they suddenly found that Liu Ergou also had such a violent side!
The one who snatched the chicken leg from Yang Dan's hand was a young man, this person Liu Ergou knew, it was Li Mu, a little bastard in Gushan Town, who was usually lazy and lazy, and always stole things.
Seeing Liu Ergou staring at him, Li Mu turned his heart sideways, and the chicken leg that was still in his hand was simply stuffed into his mouth, and even the bones were chewed and swallowed in his stomach.
"Look, I've eaten everything, what can you do with me, I'll tell you, the mayor is still here," Li Mu said stiffly.
Liu Ergou didn't speak, his red eyes stared at Li Mu, and his steel teeth clenched and gurgled!
"Li Mu, you've gone too far! And what are you doing? Get all of them back to me! "The mayor's beard trembles!
I didn't notice for a moment that these townspeople had made such a mess!
As soon as the old mayor appeared, the crowd immediately dispersed, and the old mayor's perennial prestige was there, and no one dared to resent.
Looking at Liu Ergou, who was already on the verge of anger, the old mayor's heart trembled, to be able to bully Liu Ergou, who has always been known for his good temper, like this, these people are really too much!
"Ergou, you can also dissipate your anger, I will take them to compensate you, for the sake of my old face, you can forgive them, after all, everyone is a neighbor"
"Old mayor, he Liu Ergou has been eating and drinking for nothing in our backing for so many years, what's wrong with letting him do something now, he still needs to compensate him, right?"
As soon as Li Mu saw that the old mayor was coming, he immediately became bolder, and glared at Liu Ergou while talking in a weird manner.
Liu Ergou stared at Li Mu silently, during this time, he took Yang Dan early and returned late every day, for what, wasn't it to find food to keep everyone alive?
But now, my own efforts have been exchanged for this kind of cold words?!
"Shut up!" The old mayor turned around with a big mouth, and slapped Li Mu's face with a "snap".
"Apologize to your second dog brother! Otherwise, believe it or not, I'll whip you! The old mayor said in a deep voice.
Li Mu covered his face, with a look of resentment, "Why should I apologize, he is a garbage without a father and a mother, this kind of person should not have come to us to support the mountain in the first place, he should have been bitten to death by those monsters!" ”
The old mayor's mouth not only did not suppress Li Mu, but made him shout and scold like a mad dog.
Liu Ergou finally couldn't help it, and his body instantly rioted with a burst of phantoms, and a merciless punch hit Li Mu's chest.
"Click"
Everyone heard the crisp sound of bone cracking, Li Mu flew out and hit the wall, his chest was sunken in a big piece, and pink blood foam overflowed from his mouth.
His eyes were full of incredulity and fear, he didn't expect that Liu Ergou would really do it to himself! Even the old mayor didn't pay attention to it.
Liu Ergou's actions made the crowd blow up, and the eyes of the townspeople were all frightened, and even the people who were close to Liu Ergou hurriedly retreated, for fear that Liu Ergou would attack them.
For the first time, Liu Ergou felt for the first time that the eyes of his neighbors who had been with him for more than ten years were so strange, but in fact, he regretted it the moment he made the shot.
The old mayor looked at Liu Ergou with complicated eyes, he knew very well that Liu Ergou would be fine if he didn't make a move, and once he made a move, there really would be no room for relaxation.
