Chapter 17: No more hesitation
"Wow!" Liu Xuan felt like he heard the sound of his heart beating violently because of fear. The cold sweat of the beans between his temples flowed out www.biquge.info the pen, and he raised his left hand tremblingly to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Escort, be on guard!" Liu Xuan ordered, staring at the darkness in front of him like a torch, his eyes widened, trying to see everything in the darkness as much as possible, but the firelight illuminated the darkness and obscured the vision in the distance, and he didn't see anything clearly.
But Liu Xuan knew that it was quiet before the storm came, and it would be quiet before the danger was about to happen, and the surroundings were really too quiet now, and it was conceivable that there was a beast crawling in a corner, bowing down, waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
Very uneasy, very uneasy, Liu Xuan felt that time had stopped, but he couldn't panic, even if he was the most panicked among everyone, he couldn't show it at all.
Suddenly, in addition to the sound of firewood burning, there was a sound of the board cart outside the fence, and everyone became nervous, Liu Xuan looked at it, and Ah Niu picked up a piece of wood of slightly suitable size and lit it, ready to throw it in the direction of movement.
"Wait!" Liu Xuan hurriedly stopped, if this was thrown over, it wouldn't disturb the beast, wouldn't this be looking for death?
"You walk slowly over there and light up that side!"
The village of Lihua Village looked at Liu Xuan in surprise, and underestimated in his heart, "Isn't this a death story?"
Ah Niu was stunned, staring at Liu Xuan with wide eyes, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground like roots, at this moment his heart was also a little cowardly, in the face of this innate fear of beasts, his loyalty to God established during this time was also shaken.
Seeing the legs that were trembling more and more, Liu Xuan felt a headache, although he also felt scared, but he still lit a torch by himself, and slowly moved towards the place where the sound sounded, every time he took a step forward, his heartbeat accelerated by one step, and when he walked to the fire, Liu Xuan's hands trembled so much that he could barely hold the torch.
"It's a shame!" Liu Xuan couldn't wait to dig a hole and bury himself, why should he do it, if he stayed well, then so many people would be able to protect him, and the chances of survival would increase.
Liu Xuan stopped, beating the drum violently in his heart, and now there are two roads ahead, enter, life and death, retreat, continue to enjoy the pilgrimage, enjoy the supremacy, even if it is just a small village with a population of more than a hundred, backward and closed.
But in any case, this kind of life, recognized and respected, is infinitely better than being an ordinary person on earth.
How many people struggle for money, for power, for status, but isn't its ultimate form for social recognition?
"Obviously I already have it, so what else do I have to do?" Liu Xuan closed his eyes and fell into thinking, this time it was nothing about life and death, nothing else, he was thinking about the meaning of life, the direction of life, life, he had experienced, how to appear in his mother's womb, how he grew up day by day, when he could really speak, he was clear, this is something that ordinary people can't experience, because the memory has disappeared in his mind, and some memories are just vague cognition in the words of the elders.
Death, also experienced, the original body on the earth is gone, although there are memories of the previous life, but everything that once belonged to him has also disappeared, family, friends, and everything that belongs to him, all gone, everything starts all over again.
Liu Xuan looked back, under the firelight, everyone's expressions were different, some were nervous, some were afraid, and there was a guilty look on the faces of Ah Niu and those members of the Divine Cow team, these Liu Xuan kept them firmly in his heart.
The life of an ordinary person, born to grow up, getting married, giving birth to children, raising, providing for the elderly, and then closing his eyes because of the normal law of birth, old age, sickness and death in nature, this is the life of a person, and it is also the ordinary life of the vast majority of ordinary people, because of the story of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Finally, Liu Xuan stepped out and walked into the darkness. God gave him a second chance to be different, and it would definitely no longer be for him to live an ordinary life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
"Mmmmmmmmmmmm
"It's a beast!" Liu Xuan was determined, and slowly threw the torch on the ground, and then slowly retreated.
At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and several villagers from Lihua Village had the courage to rush over without knowing where they came from, "That's my fish!"
"Stop!" Liu Xuan roared angrily.
This group of bastards, everyone was scared to death before, but now it's okay, just because of a few smoked fish, they don't want to die?
"Lord Divine Envoy, it's just a black panther, we can get rid of him!"
"Chase away the panther?" Liu Xuan looked coldly, "And then, and then you think you can keep your things? It's not even half of the night, if you fight the beasts, who is injured, the smell of blood attracts more beasts, what are you going to do?"
"But that's our food for the winter!" The villagers were persuaded by Liu Xuan, and squatted down weakly, looking at the panther feasting weakly, their faces full of chagrin. Liu Xuan glared at these people with hatred, but then he was even more disappointed that he found that no one present thought this was ridiculous, but looked deeply understanding.
In their worldview, these things can make people live, while other people just rob them of food and supplies to live, and they always feel that if there are fewer people, they will live happily.
"Ridiculous, pathetic!" Liu Xuan shook his head angrily and helplessly, thinking of Lu Xun's words: "Mourn its misfortune, and be angry with it." ”
"The escort team obeys the order! show me all of them, if one person has an accident today, you will all be punished!" Liu Xuan lost his temper and called the Divine Bull Team to stand at the forefront together, ordering that no matter what happened, he could not take a step back.
"Yes!" After this resolute order was given, the members of the Divine Ox Team quickly rushed forward without the slightest hesitation.
Finally know why soldiers should take obedience to orders as their duty, if in extraordinary times if everyone thinks differently, then there will be many kinds of contradictions, and this contradiction is the reason why it is best to break a group, and at this time, only absolute obedience, complete trust in the commander, can achieve the same pace, complete unity.
Liu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, hesitation and courage will be contagious, if you hesitate, others will hesitate, if you are brave, others will be brave.
