Chapter 133: The Old Man Reunites
Half an hour later, Chen Xiao and the other three followed the tall and thin man to a certain cliff in Qifeng Ridge, and according to the man, this was the residence of Bai Sheng's father and son. [Ran^Text^Library] []
This high cliff is on the edge of a large pine forest, surrounded by bare rocks, and at the lower end of the cliff, there is a naturally generated stone cave, the entrance of the cave looks about two meters square, I don't know how much space there is, and on the edge of this ashlar cave, a large piece of rough wooden door panel is artificially installed.
"Lao Bai! You've got a guest at home! Come out and see if it's someone you know! ”
As soon as the tall and thin man came to the vicinity of the stone cave, he couldn't help but greet him eagerly, with a slightly excited and polite tone, it seemed that he was quite happy that his neighbor could have a guest to visit, after all, this time is not as good as before the disaster, even if there is a matter of looking for relatives and friends, it is extremely rare.
"What? Got a guest coming? No way? Where do the guests come from? Did you come to me? Even if I have relatives and friends alive, they don't know that I live here. Lao Huang, don't talk about it! You're kidding me again! ”
As soon as the thin man's voice landed, the stone cave responded to a middle-aged man's loud voice, a tone full of disbelief and doubt, and the words were full of ridicule, thinking that this thin man must have often joked with the master of the stone cave, so the two looked very familiar.
After Chen Xiao and the others heard the voice of the person in the cave, they couldn't help but have a burst of joy, and then hurriedly walked towards the stone cave with an excited expression, as soon as the three of them heard the accent of the person in the cave, they knew that they had come to the place this time, and the person who spoke was Bai Sheng, who had crossed paths with the three of them in front of the Dingfeng River.
"Big Brother Bai! Do you remember me Chen Xiao? I'm looking for you! How are you doing now? ”
Chen Xiao walked towards the stone cave, and greeted the direction of the stone cave with a look of surprise on his face, and his tone was full of concern.
"Chen Xiao? What the? It's Brother Chen Xiao who is here! Why do I sound so familiar? Ah! Brother Chen Xiao is really a man who keeps his promise! I've really come to visit my brother! ”
As the voice of the owner of the stone cave sounded again, the wooden door at the entrance of the stone cave was also pushed open with a "squeak", and then a sturdy man with a simple face instantly appeared at the entrance of the cave, and also looked around excitedly, with a very unexpected tone and gesture.
"Although Chen Xiao is not a hero, he is definitely a man who does what he says! Since I promised to come and pick up Big Brother Bai before, I will definitely do what I say, it's just a matter of time, but fortunately, Big Brother Bai is strong and has been suffering here! ”
When Chen Xiao saw the person at the entrance of the cave, it was the Bai Shenghou who had been absent for more than 20 days, and immediately leaned towards him with a look of relief, and also said in a resolute tone, with a happy look.
"Thank you Brother Chen Xiao for your concern! Brother, I really didn't expect you to come to visit me so soon! It's really touching my brother! With the character of a brother, even if he is not a hero, he is also a good man who values love and righteousness! Brother, I really admire it inexplicably! I don't know where the three brothers are settled now? Is it really going to pick us up and live with us this time? ”
Bai Sheng saw that Chen Xiao and the other three of them were approaching, and hurriedly rushed to Chen Xiao with an arrow step, and held Chen Xiao's hands with a blank face, and then sighed with a grateful face, with an inexplicable gesture of excitement, and in the end, he also asked about Chen Xiao's recent situation with a puzzled face.
"Big Brother Bai! You guessed it! In addition to visiting you this time, the three of us are going to take your father and son to my camp for permanent residence, and we are currently settling down in X City, not only have more than 300 like-minded clansmen gathered around us, but also work together to build a new home, which is far more comfortable than you here! ”
When Chen Xiao saw Bai Sheng so excited, he hurriedly solemnly said something relieved, and also gave a general introduction to the situation of his own ethnic group, and there was a faint hint of abduction between his words.
"What? How many people have gathered? Then you are really a lot of people! Is the situation there safe? Brother! Since you want to pick up Lao Bai's father and son, can you take me with you? And there are other twenty-four villagers on this wind ridge, and they are also living very hard! If you can get them out of the sea of suffering, they will be very grateful! ……”
After listening to Chen Xiao's words, the tall thin man who was promoted to Lao Huang by Bai was the first to lose his breath, and then his face changed and he exclaimed, and his words revealed a touch of disbelief, but after he spoke, he still pleaded with Chen Xiao suspiciously, with a posture of suffering from gains and losses.
"Lao Huang! Don't worry, since this Chen Xiao brother is willing to accept our father and son, even if he takes all the villagers with him, he will definitely not care, with my understanding of Chen Xiao brother, he is definitely not a sinister person, so he will definitely not harm the villagers, you can rest assured! ”
Without waiting for Lao Huang to finish speaking, Bai Sheng on the side hurriedly shouted, with a slightly serious tone, and his words were full of protection for Chen Xiao, but when he took into account Lao Huang's concerns, he still explained with a slow expression.
"In addition, Brother Chen Xiao's combat effectiveness is also very outstanding, and he can definitely protect our safety! Remember the strange fish carcass in front of the Dingfeng River? That's what Chen Xiao brothers and others killed! The problem now is that X City is also a short distance from here, and if the folks don't want to go, it's useless for you to be in a hurry here! ”
After Bai Sheng's tone was paused, he told Lao Huang about Chen Xiao's strong strength with great relief, with a slightly appreciative tone, and between his words, he was full of fascination for Chen Xiao, and finally, he also elaborated on his doubts about the direction of other villagers.
"Brother Bai is right! As long as everyone can trust me Chen Xiao and are willing to go to X City with me, I will definitely not refuse to come! And I'll do my best to keep everyone safe! In today's world, no matter where you are, there is danger, but more people must be stronger than fewer people, and even if you encounter danger, the strength is much greater, isn't it? ”
After listening to the words of the two, Chen Xiao hurriedly expressed his attitude with a resolute face, and also analyzed the current living environment with great meaning, with a righteous and stern tone.
"Two brothers! You can rest assured, since Brother Xiao has decided to pick you up, it means that our living conditions there are better than here, and he is now the leader of our clan, so he must not treat everyone badly, at least he can ensure that everyone will not go hungry every day! ”
As soon as Chen Xiao's words fell, Li Han on the side also echoed in a timely manner, and also persuaded Bai Sheng and Lao Huang with a look of affirmation, not only expressing Chen Xiao's superior status in his words, but also making a promise for Chen Xiao.
"Haha! I'll just say it! With the benevolent and righteous character of Brother Chen Xiao, he must be supported by everyone wherever he goes! Now that he has become the leader of a party, this is really gratifying! Come on, come on! Let's go to the cave and rest for a while, and then slowly discuss the migration......"
As soon as Bai Sheng heard Li Han's words, he immediately looked at Chen Xiao with a surprised face, his eyes were also full of surprise, and then he praised Chen Xiao excitedly, and also pulled Chen Xiao to the stone cave, and his words were full of enthusiasm.
After listening to Chen Xiao's words, that old Huang originally had some hesitation, but when he heard Li Han and Bai Sheng's words, he couldn't help but become excited, and his eyes when he looked at Chen Xiao also obviously brought a touch of fiery.
After entering the stone cave, Chen Xiao and others found that the interior of this slightly dim stone cave, but only Zhang Xu Fangyuan, can accommodate five or six people, in addition to some simple wooden furniture in the cave, there are two simple wooden beds and two small benches with rough workmanship, and the rest are some daily production and living utensils.
"Brother Chen Xiao, in fact, if you don't come to pick us up, we also plan to leave this place in the near future, firstly, the living conditions here are harsh, and our manpower is really limited, it is impossible to live a life of food and clothing!"
After the five of them sat down on the bed or bench in the stone cave at will, Bai Sheng opened the conversation box to Chen Xiao again, and also expressed his distress with a worried face, looking powerless.
"Second, ten days ago, there were more than a dozen huge colorful leopards on the Qifeng Ridge, and I don't know where they came from, which not only frightened the villagers here, but also blocked the passages to the ridge, so that we completely lost the place to hunt!"
After a pause, he then said a strange thing with a slight horror, with a tone of secrecy and a deep sense of helplessness and awe between his words.
"Oh? And such things? How big are these leopards? Are they coming to attack you? ”
As soon as Chen Xiao and the other three heard this, they couldn't help but look uncertain, especially Li Han, as soon as Bai Sheng's words were finished, they asked out in surprise, with a tone full of curiosity, and there was a faint hint of war intent between the words.
"Hey! All of these leopards are the size of calves, and the largest of them is the size of an adult cow, but they did not take the initiative to attack us, only when we went to the mountains to hunt, they would come out to stop us, and every time they scared us away, and did not hurt our lives! ”
Sensing the curious and puzzled eyes of the three young people in front of him, Bai Sheng sighed silently, and then responded with a sad face, his words were full of uneasiness and incomprehension, it seemed that he knew very little about the habits of these leopards.
"These leopards seem to have understood human nature, and they faintly regard Qifeng Ridge as their own territory! In this way, we will have no source of prey at all! In addition, we don't dare to set foot in the Dingfeng River now, so we can only rely on the rhizomes of wild vegetables and other plants to satisfy our hunger every day! ”
Seeing that Chen Xiao and the other three in front of him fell into deep thought, Lao Huang on the side added with a deep face, a tone full of worry, and between the words, it was full of strong tragic meaning, and with his sallow face, he looked like a refugee......
