Meng Chun (37)
Suddenly, Eko closed her eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The arrow shot out of the info made a sound of piercing the flesh, and the arrow pierced the man's neck, and the thief suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed.
Seeing this, Eight Fingers hurriedly squatted down to examine the boy's wounds. He was stained with blood, and the thief who stole the horse had round eyes, his pupils gradually dilated, and finally he lost his breath.
Facing a human life being taken alive, the two people who helped to persuade the fight before gasped. When Eight Fingers stood up, the whole person was lying on his back, he spread his blood-stained hands, looked at his companion who had carried his life, and said, "What are you doing? Why do you have to kill him, and his hands are so poisonous?" The last few words of the words were almost shouted out.
Some of the dazed "deerskin hats" seemed to be called back to their souls by this voice, he pointed to the corpse, glared back with an indignant expression, and said: "You say that I am poisonous? Do our people deserve to be put down by this bastard? Why doesn't he show mercy?"
"He's still a little ghost!"
"Oh...... He's small, so he can kill people at will, and he doesn't have to pay for his life? You know, I can't get used to your bloodless fake compassion, and we people who are younger than him understand that the only way to kill people is to pay for it!"
The scolding of the buckskin hat obviously made Eight Fingers angry, and the old fellow suddenly pushed him, "Do you know how long I've been in this business? I've been in the Southerner for three years alone!" he turned his head and spat on the ground, and said, "You know? I haven't encountered this kind of ...... Affair. ”
The last few words of the Eight Fingers are very vague. Ikor couldn't help but frown when she heard the old guy say this. I remember when I was still in D'Estaing, he once took a deal to listen to information, and the client was a businessman who was in the leather goods business and couldn't spare his mouth. This man repeatedly stressed that no one should be killed, saying that the merchant industry is very taboo about killing, and deliberately told a story that because someone shot a seabird on a merchant ship, the whole ship was left dead. It seems that Eight Fingers is also taboo about this......
In front of him, the buckskin hat pushed his eight fingers again, as a tribute. Seeing that the other two were a little indignant, and the differences between the companions seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, Yi Ke hurriedly dragged his eight fingers and said: "Let me interject, I'm afraid our trouble is a bit big, it's not just this little ghost who stole horses before, there is another guy I couldn't catch up, he knows the location of our camp." ”
These words immediately silenced everyone. Eight Fingers looked back at the horse thief, wiped his cheek with his hand, and said, "What the hell...... I didn't even have time to bury people. He pointed to one of his companions, told him to carry the thief's corpse on horseback, and patted the buckskin hat and said, "Go! ”
Soon after, the group drove back to the camp. The few people who stayed behind couldn't help but look at each other when they saw that Eko had only recovered one horse and dragged a corpse off the horse's back. And Eight Fingers' next arrangement—burying the corpses nearby, and the convoy rushing through the starry night—immediately made those people blow up.
"Do you want us to climb the mountains in the middle of the night, and just use the few horses that are left, and throw two of our fellows into the wilderness?" someone shouted.
It's understandable why everyone reacted violently. The convoy's next stop was Kingfisher Manor on the east side of Tabor, where a mountain had to be climbed on the way. Not to mention how difficult the mountain road was at night, and the convoy lost half of its horses, which was supposed to be two horses, but now only one horse, which means that some sections of the road have to be dismounted as mules and horses. Of course, this is not an insurmountable problem, and the real difficulty is to find a nearby place to bury the martyred companion - with a stiff horse thief. If this happened between workers who didn't know each other, everyone might sigh for a while and it would have passed. However, this convoy of "Southerners" is somewhat peculiar. Most of the people in the convoy, apparently from the same village, questioned Eight-Fingers' decision, shouting that they had to take the remains of their companions, while the rest, including Eliot, were eager to leave the land as soon as possible.
For a moment, the camp was filled with the sound of quarrels, and the eight fingers in charge of the convoy seemed to have lost their authority. It was only at this moment that Ekko learned that the two men who had arranged the vigil had an accident - the body of the other was lying in the thatched grass that smelled of defecation, presumably attacked while using the toilet. One can imagine what would have happened to the entire convoy if it had been not just two horse thieves who had entered the camp, but a team of heavily armed men.
In Ikko's opinion, Eight Fingers' decision was undoubtedly the right one. But he had no intention of standing up for the old fellow, in fact, his eyes had been glancing consciously or unconsciously at a carriage near the campfire, and the Lirezi who had invited him to join him was inside, and now that the convoy was in trouble, was he going to continue to play dead, or would he come up with some idea?
Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage shook, and to Ekko's surprise, it was Decoy who emerged from the carriage. The girl walked to the middle of the crowd with red eyes, she first said hello to Eight Fingers, and then grabbed a few companions and whispered, and the whole person suddenly fainted as if she had lost her strength. Eight Fingers caught this petite figure, and several of the most ferocious guys hurriedly worked together to lift her into the carriage, and after that, the entire convoy finally moved according to Eight Fingers' command. However, the rest of the journey did not go well, and one of the horses in the convoy stepped on an anthill at the foot of the mountain, and the horse's left front hoof fell into a pit, and with a "click" broke the leg bone, and he could not move for a moment.
In order to continue the trip, Eight Fingers approached Eko with his face on his face and asked him to borrow a "Okay Cookie" to pull the car. This request was really helpless, but it also really made Ekko's heart burn. He asked Eight Fingers to put him in charge of driving the carriage, and that it should not be heavier than the other cars. On the subsequent uphill road, Eko frequently got out of the car to pull the reins, and went against the wind with his four-legged buddy. When we reached the road near the peak, the temperature dropped even lower, and the oncoming cold wind seemed to be carrying snow flakes, and the white horse "okay cookies" couldn't stop snorting, looking extremely aggrieved. The hardship reminded Echo of the Effons' journey north in search of Elada. At that time, it must have been even more difficult. Fortunately, the most difficult part of the mountain road finally came to an end. Seeing the white of the fish's belly on the horizon, Eko couldn't help but sigh. He sat back in the driver's seat, subconsciously rubbing his knees, which were a little wooden, and Elliot on the side looked at him for a while, and finally couldn't help but say, "Hey, I heard, you snatched a horse back." ”
Ekor glanced at the veteran, who seemed to have jumped out of the image of a drunken man, and looked much more energetic than before, but his eyes were round, and there was still a little nervousness.
