Chapter Fifty-Six: The Past
Nong Han stood stiffly and did not answer Noah's question, but his expression had already explained everything, and it was indeed as Noah said.
Haier's eyes widened in surprise, "We saved you, you actually want to kill us!?"
Noah glanced at Haier, shook his head, and then looked at Nong Han again, "Did we really save you?"
Noah's question made everyone stunned, and Merlin showed a thoughtful look, did they save this farmer?
The answer is obviously yes, without their help, Nong Han would not have been able to escape the pursuit of the wild bear with his injured leg, so what did Noah say?
Nong Han took a few steps back in a panic, as if the most secret had been revealed.
Noah looked at him with a calm expression, "If you don't take the initiative to provoke the wild bear, it won't cause the current result at all." β
Merlin and the others' eyes widened in disbelief, what was Noah talking about?
This group of wild bears was brought over by Nong Han himself?
"Originally, these were just speculations, and I didn't investigate whether it was true or not, as long as you left in the morning, everything didn't matter. "Noah is still looking at Nonghan," I don't know why you have so much hatred for us, but your hatred for us is indeed the reason why you want to do something to us, but no matter how deep or shallow your hostility is, you are just a farmer who relies on crops to live, you don't have the strength to kill us directly, so you want to use external forces to live in the mountains and forests, I think you should also understand that wild bears live alone, I really can't imagine that if you don't take the initiative to provoke, it will attract so many wild bears to chase you, I think, you should think that one wild bear is not enoughγ β
After a pause, Noah shook his head, "Your plan is too simple, and this knife seems to be your last resort." β
Noah's words caused Nong Han to fall to the ground again, and his eyes were the kind of hesitation that was completely seen through, and Merlin and the others were stunned when they heard it, and everyone forgot to move for a short time.
Noah shook his head, he didn't have any idea of what to do with Nonghan, whether it was Nonghan's plan or the previous assassination, it didn't work at all, in other words, Nonghan was no different from doing nothing, Noah's thoughts about him were still the same as before, leave early in the morning, then everything will be fine.
"Noah. β
Noah looked at Merlin who was speaking, and got Noah's gaze, Merlin didn't continue to say anything, but Noah saw disapproval in Merlin's eyes, disapproval of what he said.
Noah turned to look at Nonghan, who was sitting on the ground, his face was already full of pain at the moment, the pain caused by being completely peeled off.
Noah pouted, he didn't think his words were excessive, but in the end, the person who suffered his words was just a farmer, even if he had his own hatred, but this hatred could not be brewed into a substantial injury, he could not bear excessive damage, in any form.
In other words, it's just a useless person.
However, being so denied by Merlin, this is the real sorrow of this farmer, overprotection is harm. But Noah still didn't say anything more, because he didn't care.
Nong Han had retreated to the corner at this moment, the whole person looked very frightened, and he was still muttering in his mouth, and if he listened carefully, he could hear him saying: It's all your fault, it's all the fault of you magicians...
No one cares what the magician has done wrong, and Nong Han is clearly on the verge of collapse.
The next morning, although it was said to be the next day, but in fact, it was a few hours later, and Nong Han left, and he was a little lost and depressed.
Looking at the back of Nong Han leaving, Haier suddenly said, "Maybe his family died in the hands of the Demon Beast." β
Everyone looked at Haier.
Haier continued: "If his family is still around, it is impossible not to find out that he has disappeared, right? So I wonder if it was because during the Warcraft riot two years ago, his family died because the magician who came to the rescue did not rescue him in time, so he hated the magician so much. β
Noah shook his head, not to deny what Haier said, he felt that what Haier said was very reasonable, but the original events, even if they were told by people who had experienced it firsthand, would be biased due to different subjective judgments, and there were some things that could not be determined.
However, in Haier's eyes, there are some other things, not just pity for the farmer, "My home, used to be on the cypress prairie, my family and I relied on grazing to make a living, the grass on the grassland is very green, the sky is very blue, standing in it, you can't see the edge at a glance, you can shout as much as you want, you can also run unrestrainedly, although it is remote, but it is full of fun, I like the place where I was born and raised." But two years ago, everything changed, my brother, my sister, my brother, my parents, all gone. Haier's eyes flashed with pain, he couldn't forget the eyes that were gradually dimming, and he couldn't forget the terrifying memories buried deep in his heart.
Haier took a deep breath and said: "I said this, not to make you have mercy, but to see a person who is sympathetic to the same disease, suddenly I have a feeling, it was a mercenary who saved me at that time, without him, there would be no me now, I don't think the death of my family is anyone's fault, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for not being strong enough to protect your family." β
Haier's gaze became firm, "There are still many tragedies happening in this world, so I want to become stronger, strong enough to have the ability to stop all tragedies!"
Merlin touched Haier's head, "I have seen your efforts, but the road to becoming stronger does not happen overnight, retract the gaze of desire and look at the present." β
"What do you mean?" Hale glared at Merlin's words, wiping out the tragic destruction he was brewing.
"Persuading these villagers to leave is only one of our tasks, we have other tasks, for example, we are responsible for supplying those who pass through here. Merlin said.
After a pause, he made a further explanation, "Seven hundred miles to the east of the jurisdiction of the city for the time being, the villagers in the villages within six hundred miles to the west all have to take refuge in the city of ascension, they don't have the sawtooth beast to catch the car, the number of days of delay on this road is bound to be a long time, the food they can bring with them is limited, most of them have not yet arrived in the city of ascension, the food they bring is exhausted, we set up cards along the way to provide them with supplies, this supply station is only one, but unfortunately, it is set up here with us." β
David was taken aback, his eyes searching around, "This... Where does the food come from?"
If it was up to them to go to the mountains to catch pheasants, they would really go crazy.
Merlin said: "The Warcraft riot has brought a lot of helplessness, the reason why the villagers did not leave as soon as possible is because the crops on the ground are about to ripen, and now Ken is leaving, most of the reason is because the first batch of crops has been harvested, they have taken them to Shengcheng, and then stay and wait for the second ripening, which is obviously unrealistic." According to the experience of previous years, the crops left by the villagers are enough to meet the needs of supplies, and we can make some bread or something. β
"Wouldn't it be nice to use the villagers' things without permission?" Davy said.
Merlin shook his head, "It's okay, the use of these crops is all with the consent of the villagers." β
Now David was relieved, but his expression was a little bitter, he liked the wilderness all over the mountains, but he didn't like the work in the loess.
He looked at Merlin and blinked, "Team leader, as team leader, you should lead by example in this matter, right?"
Merlin's face froze, "It's... Target. β
Noah wanted to laugh as he watched from the sidelines, but Merlin was usually too casual, even like a hooligan who didn't act properly, so that Hale, David, and Bron no longer had the respect for the leader.
This is also Merlin's own fault, he likes to be lazy so much, except for sleeping, Noah and they really haven't seen him do anything that a team leader should do.
"I've already negotiated with the village chief, he's got the utensils in order, let's go to his house and get them now. "Merlin has long since stopped insisting on recovering his image, and he resigned himself faster than the blink of an eye.
The group walked through the empty cottage to the village chief's house, pushed open the door, and in the courtyard, they saw five wooden carvings, standing very straight on the wooden table.
At first glance, these wood carvings are very monotonous, only after simple carving, but they are very expressive, a few simple strokes, the eyebrows and eyes of Noah and others are depicted, so that people can see who is who at a glance.
Simply stunned, several people went over and took their respective wood carvings in their hands.
