Chapter 7: The Pig Coop Walled City
From the first time they met to the present, the turtle dove and this little girl have been so deadlocked I don't know how many times, this time, it was because of a few sand lizards.
The turtledove's backpack was placed in the off-road vehicle, and he didn't lose his backpack because it contained food and water, and once there were no two supplies, it was only a matter of time before he died in the desert.
Therefore, the turtle dove went to catch the sand lizard, in order to save some food, he had just cut the throats of the two sand lizards, and was about to bleed and peel them, the little girl came over and stabbed the rest of the sand lizards to death with a dagger, which made the turtle dove frown.
The sun went down, and a cool breeze blew from the other side of the dunes, brushing the little girl's short burgundy hair on her forehead, her smoky makeup had long since been spent, and her face and body were dirty, but her eyes were clear, which reminded the turtledove of the boundless sky on a clear day.
The turtledove met the little girl's gaze and did not speak, he was waiting for the other party to give him an explanation why he did such an inexplicable thing.
Maybe she's a psychopath at all, after all, she has a history of risking money to save "Miss Puff".
Thinking so, the turtledove didn't intend to waste any more time glaring at her, but the little girl expressed her thoughts at this time:
"You can eat them, you should give them a good time before that."
The turtledove's eyes widened, and she said that she heard it correctly, she was actually for this?
The last thing you need in the land outside the law is compassion, this is true for people, let alone for the sand lizard, before the turtledove saw her shoot and kill people without the slightest hesitation, and thought that she had adapted to the rules of survival in the land outside the law like herself, but I didn't expect that she was just an ordinary little girl after all.
If this is not a place outside the law, if she no longer dresses up like this punk, she must be an ordinary little girl who looks good.
"If you don't bleed, it won't taste good," the turtledove hung his head and used his dagger to flick the two sand lizards whose throats had been cut by himself, "If you don't bleed, their blood will accumulate in the flesh, and it will be roasted later, and the taste will be very bad." ”
Ikadove talks about taste, but for some reason, he deliberately doesn't mention the issue of compassion.
The little girl was still looking at the turtledove.
For no apparent reason, a nameless fire erupted from the turtledove's chest, and he thrust his dagger into the ground, stood up silently, and turned his head towards the small sand dunes not far away, ignoring the damned sand lizards.
"Then you can bake it yourself!"
The turtledove said without looking back.
……
Lying on the sand dunes, the turtledove looked up at the starry sky, looking at the rising crescent moon, his mood gradually calmed down, thinking back to what he had said, the turtledove regretted his attitude just now.
He is not familiar with the little girl, it stands to reason that the two have met for less than a day, and they don't even know each other's names, they belong to serious strangers, and they are in the past, and the turtledove is too late to be vigilant against strangers, so how can he be inexplicably angry.
However, the two of them can be regarded as living and dying together, and if they are more serious, they may not be strangers.
But at that moment just now, the turtle dove really felt that her heart was in turmoil, wasn't it just two broken sand lizards, and she was guilty of glaring at herself because she bleed them? It's as if it's very reasonable for her, what's wrong with not having sympathy?
Thinking about it, the turtledove's anger came up again, and he was just about to attack, but found that the little girl was already standing in front of him, carrying a roasted sand lizard in her hand.
Passing the sand lizard to the turtledove, the little girl said to the turtledove:
"My name is Worm."
The turtledove sat up, but did not reach out to pick up the sand lizard in front of him, because he felt that the little girl was teasing himself. That's a weird name, isn't it?
However, the turtledove forgot that he was still called the turtledove.
"I don't believe it."
The turtledove shook his head, he really didn't believe that a little girl would have such a name, even if it was a kitten or a puppy, there would be no owner to give them such a name as "little worm", it was too casual and too perfunctory, or the person who named her was crazy, so he would call her a little worm.
The little girl laughed inexplicably, and when she confirmed that the turtledove had really not heard her name, a hint of vigilance in the depths of her eyes dissipated.
"What's your name?"
The little girl simply sat down face to face with the turtledove.
"Turtledove."
Now it was the little girl's turn to be stunned, and after a moment she shook her head as well, and said:
"I don't believe it either."
……
Reporting each other's names is the first step to becoming friends, although they don't believe that each other's names can be so weird and weird, but they have finally taken this step, since they are treating friends, then the turtledove does not have much vigilance.
Today is another day without eating, the turtledove eats the sand lizard at this time, like those humanoid monsters in the ruins of the city, tearing off the flesh and stuffing it into the mouth, he agitated his cheeks, and pouted at the little girl sitting in front of him:
"I told you, it won't taste good if you don't bleed, look at this meat, it doesn't taste good at all, follow, follow, follow......"
The turtledove "followed" for a long time, and he wanted to say "it's like chewing wax", but found that it was not the meat that had no taste, but that his mouth was unconscious, and his tongue began to knot.
Immediately after that, the turtledove's hand did not obey, and half of the sand lizard fell on the sand, and finally, his whole consciousness began to blur.
At the last moment when the brain stopped, the turtledove understood that it was the sand lizard meat that had been drugged.
……
It was already the next morning when the turtledove woke up, rubbing his aching head, lifting the blanket over him, and it took him half a minute to remember what had happened last night.
The girl named Worm drugged her lizard meat, and she let her guard down for a while, and she drugged it over.
Thinking of this, Ikaruga got up angrily, his backpack was placed next to him, and only a few compressed biscuits and a few bottles of water were left in it, and the weapons, ammunition, and off-road vehicle seized yesterday were all gone.
"You dead girl! Don't let me run into you again! ”
The turtledove was so angry that he jumped on the spot, he had been cautious for so many years, and yesterday he didn't know how to be confused by the ghost, and he was planted, but fortunately she just took the thing, if she wanted to kill herself, wouldn't she have become a dead person?
But that doesn't give Turtledove a reason to forgive the little worm, and he swears that as long as she dares to mess around outside the law, then he must find the little girl.
"I'll find you!"
The angry roar of the turtledove echoed across the dunes.
……
Half a month later.
It was originally founded by a yellow man named Li Jinshan, and it started as a small settlement, but gradually grew to become the largest trading area in the vicinity, where people sold their resources in exchange for what they needed.
There are more and more people, and the city has become mixed, but few people make trouble here, because this is Li Jinshan's territory.
At that time, Li Jinshan was still very young, and the pigpen city had only been established for a short time, and a group of robbers who lived by looting had the idea of scraping here.
Who knew that Li Jinshan was not a good stubble, he personally led the team to kill the bandit leader, and also gathered the remaining manpower of the bandit group, not only playing his own prestige, but also strengthening his own power.
Since then, he has fought several tough battles with several surrounding forces, thus establishing the status of the Pigpen Walled City in a place outside the law, and no one is willing to look at this side anymore.
It can be said that without Li Jinshan, there would be no today's pigpen walled city.
……
The walled wall built of wood and stone is about four or five meters high, and there are many heavily armed soldiers patrolling back and forth, and the top of the wooden gate is opened, and there is a sign with four big characters written "Pig Coop Walled City", and the turtledove stands under the sign, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
The sun in the sky was high in the center, and the turtledove licked his white-skinned lips, and he finally walked alive to the pigpen walled city.
Half a month ago, the little worm who had just met for a short time scraped almost everything from him, leaving him only a few compressed biscuits and a little water, and abandoned him in the long desert.
When he was hungry he ate compressed biscuits, when he was thirsty, he drank some water, and then when the food and water were gone, the turtle dove caught gerbils and sand lizards, and drank snake blood and salty nest water. Several times, he thought that he no longer had the strength to get up, and after lying down for a while, he stood up again, moving his steps little by little.
Finally, the turtledove finally walked out of the desert and came to the pigpen walled city, his eyes wanted to be moist, but because he hadn't drunk water for too long, even his eyes were dry, and there were tears.
Thinking of the ordeal he has suffered in the past half a month, the turtledove can't help but hate the root of his teeth, as for the object, of course, it is the girl called the little worm.
……
The turtledove still had a pistol stuck in his waist, and the first thing he did when he came to the pigpen city was to use the pistol and the twelve bullets in it to exchange water and food with people.
Worm probably didn't search him that day, in fact, Turtledove himself forgot that there was such a thing, on the night of the first encounter, Worm shot and killed the mysterious convoy of people, thus saving Turtledove's life, and the pistol was that person.
At that time, the little worm asked the turtledove if it could be used, and the turtledove made a mistake for a while, saying that he had a good pistol.
……
The Pigpen Walled City is very lively, and at the heart of it are the first inhabitants of the walled city, who live in houses made of wood or stone. The periphery is inhabited by outsiders, and these people live in all kinds of tents according to the plan.
Turtledove didn't come here to find a place to live, his main purpose in coming to the pig cage city was to find people, there was a lot of traffic here, and all kinds of information were also abundant, what Turtledove was looking for was a black guy who made a living by selling gossip, he wanted to ask who the little worm was.
However, the turtledove, which was walking between the tents, soon noticed that he was being targeted.
