Chapter Thirty-Eight: Snowfall
"Yueli, can't I really put them in the ring? ”
"Can't!"
"Why?"
"In that case, you won't feel like you're shopping. ”
"That'...... You're at least going to buy something normal, right?"
"It's normal for me to buy these things...... Eh, there seems to be something good here. ”
Feng Yan looked at what he was carrying, lost in thought.
Among the things he was carrying were hammers, nails, scissors, knives, screws, and other parts he didn't know what they were called.
Since these things have to be sold, they are naturally serious things. But for a woman, Feng Yan felt that these things were very abnormal.
Well, Yueli is not an ordinary woman, nor is it a day or two.
Feng Yan shook his head, and could only follow helplessly.
"It's a good material, I bought it...... Giving, taking. ”
Yueli handed the two steel pipes about a foot long she had just bought to Feng Yan, and Feng Yan was directly stunned.
"Yueli, what the hell are you going to do here?"
"Don't you do anything, just spare it...... When you have a new idea, you might use it...... No matter how bad it is, it can be used to beat people......"
"This girl, we are a serious store, please don't hurt people with the things you bought from us......"
Yueli's words directly scared the shopkeeper.
"Boss, don't worry, I'm just talking about fun...... It's not going to really come. ”
Then, Yueli continued to shop, and Fengli continued to follow.
"Can this thing really hurt people?"
Feng Yan looked at the two steel pipes, and suddenly such an idea came to him. Then he picked one up, put it in his hand and broke it. As a result, the steel pipe was bent all at once. Feng Yan felt that he was in trouble, and while Yueli was not paying attention, he straightened it again, and deliberately used fire spiritual power to forge a little bit of the place where there was a change, so that it didn't look like there was any change.
"This thing can probably only hurt mortals......"
After walking for a while, the original drizzle became larger.
"Yueli, the snow is also heavy, and the sky is dark, let's go back. ”
"Hmm...... There's nothing left to buy, so let's go back. Wind Death...... Give me something. ”
"I'll take it...... After a while, you suddenly want to buy something, and you can't keep your hands open. With so many people, it is not easy to receive the ring. ”
"Thank you then. ”
When the six of them returned to the Li Lin Inn, the school had become very large, and there were basically no pedestrians on the street. It's getting late enough, and with this weather, except for the inn, all the other shops are closed.
It's getting late, and it's time to rest.
"Speaking of which, it seems that many of the shops I saw today are mothers and sons or mothers and daughters, which is a bit strange...... Forget it, I don't want to, it's such a cold day, let's go to bed first. ”
After saying this, Yueli shrank back and gradually fell asleep.
It was night, and everyone was sleeping soundly.
The next day, all six woke up. This time, I didn't wake up naturally, but I was woken up by bursts of crying.
"Who is weeping here in the morning...... Sick of it. ”
Being woken up, Yueli is naturally uncomfortable. She listened carefully and noticed that the sound was coming from outside the window.
Yueli opened the window to see what was going on, and then she saw a scene that overwhelmed her.
What Yueli saw in her eyes was a white stream of people. In the middle of the crowd, there was a huge sign with a big word "Lay" written on it. And in that crowd, there were basically women, each of them wearing mourning clothes, and let out a whimper.
That's where the cry comes from.
"Shhh...... It's cold, close the window first. ”
It was a rare sunny day outside, but Yueli felt very cold.
Then, Yueli got dressed, and after tidying up a little, she went out. Woken up and the scene she had just seen, she was no longer sleepy at all.
Because the place where the six people live is on the second floor, after going out, the place where Yueli came was the fence on the second floor. At this time, there were many people standing here, including the other five.
"Huh...... It's so miserable...... Huh!"
"Isn't it...... I heard that the people who didn't come back this time...... More than the previous times combined. ”
"Also, I heard...... This time, many people couldn't even build a mound of clothes. ”
"No, it's all burning...... Tut...... It's really miserable. ”
"Boss Lin is not the same, he volunteered to go to the battlefield to defend his family and country...... What a good person, just gone...... Leaving the proprietress mother and son to suffer here...... Oh, that's poor!"
"Thankfully, there are other guys in this store to help ......"
"yes...... This is the luckiest thing to do. ”
"That frost wolf country is really not a thing, and people will not let it go even if they die...... I don't even give my soul a chance to return to my hometown......"
"War, that's it...... If you don't be cruel to the enemy, you will suffer......"
"Forget it, I'm not a frost snowman anyway, so don't talk about these things...... Disturbing. ”
"Who's to say it's not...... This public sacrifice can only be comforted. ”
Sighing here, crying there, the six of them who were listening on the side also roughly understood what was going on.
The cause of everything is still the war.
The following people should be the families of the soldiers who died on the battlefield, which is why there are so many women, and those soldiers who lost their lives are their husbands, sons, and fathers.
It was a public sacrifice, because the soldiers were not even brought back, and they were all burned clean by the frostwolf soldiers. There was nothing to be brought back and buried, so I could only hold such a public sacrifice for comfort.
Seeing this scene, several people were very sad. But they knew the truth, and they knew that it was impossible to bring things back. The corpses that died due to infectious diseases, exposed to the ice for a few days, and brought back, were the source of the plague. Bringing it back is a bigger trouble. Even if it's the frost and snow army, I'm afraid it will have to burn.
"Second sister, shouldn't we help......
The sight in front of her made Moon Shadow very uncomfortable, and she began to wonder if she had been wrong to help the Frostwolf Nation before.
"Shadow, you don't have to blame yourself, it's not your responsibility...... This is war, and war is so cruel...... One person's strength cannot determine the outcome of the war, and the war between the Frost Wolf Country and the Frost Snow Country is not something you can change.
Your intervention did not change this outcome. War is always accompanied by sacrifice, and you have only changed the outcome of the sacrifice. As long as the war is ongoing, such scenarios are indispensable. ”
As she spoke, a lot of uncomfortable images suddenly appeared in Yueli's mind. In the picture, there are one passing figure after another, a "ridiculous farce" that has lost its life one after another.
Accompanied by discomfort, Yueli gently hugged Yueying, and Yueying also leaned on Yueli in a daze. At the same time, Wang Ling and Xue Ji also relied on the wind and died, not knowing what they were thinking. Hua Xi leaned on the railing, staring blankly at the white flow of people not far away.
"When the hell is this?"
Yueli muttered and shook her head.
"Yueli, are you alright?"
"It's fine, it's just that I remembered something unpleasant. ”
Suddenly, in the clear sky, it began to drizzle again.
