Chapter 48: Another one
Xiao Jing dragged back a middle-aged man, with a scruffy beard, bulging clothes, and the whole person was oval.
But just look at the face, you can see that it is skinny and bone-like, as if a layer of skin has been attached to the skull.
Qu Jianlei glanced at Xiao Jing in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so strong." β
Xiaojing is very simple, "He is very light, and his clothes are full of warm materials, and he is also very light." β
Qu Jianlei didn't want to accept one more person in his heart, in the winter of the wasteland, which year did he not freeze and starve to death?
I think that the original body he crossed at the beginning was also dying of starvation when the winter had just passed.
After a deep sigh, he asked, "Why did you think of saving people?" β
"Yes," Xiao Jing's face was also a little helpless, "It's like you met me at the beginning." β
Qu Jianlei didn't want to hurt a child's heart, but he still refuted, "You said that you are useful." β
"Maybe he's useful," Xiao Jing replied subconsciously, and then immediately explained, "Save it or not, you have the final say." β
Of course, I have the final say! The corners of Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, and then he shook his head with a wry smile.
"You've got people back, what else can I do?"
If he is in the wild, he can turn a blind eye and avoid it from afar, but if he is close to death and does not save him, he will always be sad at that level in his heart.
Xiao Jing pursed his lips and said, "I can throw him out again." β
Qu Jianlei was silent for a while, and finally sighed, "Forget it, a bowl of water, a tube of nutrients." β
Xiao Jing was still very cautious, first blindfolded the person, and then tied his hands and feet before feeding the person.
It didn't take long for the man to sigh faintly and come to lifeβthe vitality of the wastelanders was not ordinary.
He moved his hands and feet, shook his head, and his body froze.
Then he maintained a stiff posture and did not move for a long time.
"I know you're awake," Xiao Jing was impatient, "I saved you, understand?" β
The man still didn't respond, and even stopped breathing.
"Don't pretend," Xiao Jing became more and more unhappy, "If you don't speak, I'll throw you outside immediately." β
The man's body finally moved, and he spoke slowly, "Fallen? β
Xiao Jing said disdainfully, "You are so thin, what kind of hunger do the degenerates have to be before they want to save you?" β
"Thank you very much," the one nodded slightly in Xiao Jing's direction, and let out a long breath.
"If I had been a fallen, I might as well be dead...... You saved me, what do you need me to do? β
The second half of the sentence is the thinking of a typical wastelander, saving a stranger in the ice and snow...... There must be a picture!
As for the "good-heartedness", the wastelanders never consider it.
Xiao Jing was waiting for this sentence, and when he heard this, he asked directly, "What will you do?" β
The man didn't know if his brain was frozen, and he waited for a while before answering, "I don't think I'll know anything." β
"That's useless," Xiao Jing stepped forward without hesitation, and grabbed the hood on the man's head as soon as he bent down.
Then he dragged the man out, "You're awake now, and you're worthy of you." β
"Wait," the man finally got anxious, but he asked anyway, "Why did you save me?" β
"I met," Xiao Jing dragged people out, "I was also rescued like this, and it can be regarded as two Qing." β
"Wait a minute, I will," the man said immediately, "I have more than twenty years of experience in the wilderness. β
"This ...... It doesn't seem to be of much use," Xiao Jing thought for a moment, and then asked again, "Do you know how to drive?" β
"Yes, of course!" The man hurriedly replied, "Drive, fix cars, shoot guns, fix guns...... That's fine. β
Xiao Jing's hand loosened, "Then you didn't say it earlier!" β
The man was silent for a while, and only said for a long time, "Shouldn't this be a basic survival skill?" β
"I'm asking you!" Xiao Jing scolded without hesitation, "Except for these...... What else will be? β
The man froze again, and it took a long time before he replied, "I've traveled a lot of places, and I'm familiar with the terrain and mutant beasts. β
Xiao Jing first snorted disdainfully, and then was stunned - what I lack, but practice!
He looked at Qu Jianlei, "Brother, this person ...... How to deal with it? β
Qu Jianlei listened to Xiaojing ask if he could drive, and he understood what this little guy was thinking.
It seems that the last time he was chased by many vehicles, it still left a considerable shadow in his heart.
However, he still replied unhurriedly, "You can figure it out, we don't have many supplies for the winter." β
Xiao Jing said very simply, "I'll keep an eye on him, as long as I don't starve to death." β
Qu Jianlei is in excellent physical condition now, and he is not worried about this thin and dry demon.
The only thing to worry about is that if this person is taken in, this comfortable place to spend the winter will be exposed.
This is something that they have been working hard for nearly two months to perfect.
But on second thought, if Mr. Sai's threat was not resolved, he would not be able to risk spending a second winter here.
So he became relaxed and said, "Let's talk about living in the wild for more than twenty years...... Why did you almost starve to death? β
That person's brain turned not usually slow, and it took a long time to slowly spit out four words, "Betrayal." β
"Ha," Qu Jianlei didn't bother to ask anymore when he heard this, loyalty and betrayal are enduring topics in the wasteland.
He also had no intention of pouring salt on the other party's wounds, just glanced at Xiao Jing, "You can do it, don't regret it." β
Xiao Jing didn't speak, the man didn't squeak, and the room was silent.
After a while, Xiao Jing kicked the man, "You don't make a statement?" β
The one waited for a while before replying in a low voice, "If you can use your words, where can there be so many betrayals?" β
"I don't care about that," Xiao Jing said unreasonably, "I'll listen to you." β
The one was silent for a while before speaking, "In that case, I promise...... As long as I'm alive, I won't let you die. β
"It's really troublesome," Xiao Jing muttered, and then looked at Qu Jianlei, "Brother, let him live or change places?" β
"You look at it," Qu Jianlei really ignored it, he wanted to see the little guy's judgment and ability to do things.
Xiao Jing glanced at the room and was a little hesitant, "Such a good place to spend the winter may be exposed." β
"Where is not home for survivors?" Qu Jianlei replied disappreciatively, "Wouldn't it be better to live in a settlement?" β
"The settlement is not as comfortable as here," Xiao Jing replied without hesitation.
He has a lot to say about this, "There are some good things, but they have to be hidden, it's really not as comfortable here." β
After a pause, he asked again, "What about me...... Took off his blindfold? β
Qu Jianlei spread his hands, and he didn't even bother to say anything: he said that he would let you watch it.
Xiao Jing held a short dagger in one hand, unfastened the blindfold in the other, and then the rope in his hand.
When the man saw the light, he realized that it was actually a child who had saved him, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Take a look again, the other "brother" is also half a child, and he is stunned again.
Are today's children so powerful?
However, the shock was only a moment, and the next moment, his eyes became dazed.
He didn't even untie the rope on his feet and began to be there in a daze.
Xiao Jing didn't pay attention to him either, and walked out of the door directly, "I'll go get water." β
In order to drag this man back, the bucket was still thrown at the waterhole.
So there is one more person in this small winter place.
This man's own name is "Crack", and when he shaved his beard, he actually looked like he was in his thirties.
The size of the crack is not low, more than 1.8 meters, and the person is very well-behaved - more precisely, it is wooden.
Most of the time, he sat at the entrance of the passageway, that is, in the most remote part of the room, motionless in a daze.
Even eating is like that, as long as Xiaojing doesn't open his mouth to let him eat, he will definitely not move.
Of course, when he smells the smell of rice, his eyes occasionally move, but his body never moves.
He also noticed the exercise process of Qu Jianlei and Xiaojing, but he definitely didn't watch it much.
Xiaojing even tried, but he didn't let him drink water for two days, and he really didn't take the initiative to ask for it.
The hairless monster also arranged some work for him to do, and he did not resist, but he often stopped when he moved his hands.
Xiao Jing felt that this guy was trying to be lazy, and he cleaned up several times, but ...... It's just that they don't change their ways.
The hairless monster was so angry that he wanted to drive him away, but in the end he held back: If you like to be lazy, I'll yell at him to be diligent.
What Xiao Jing couldn't bear the most was the crack's attitude towards bathing.
At first, the hairless monster didn't even think about letting the other party take a bath - this kind of luxury life is not something that anyone can enjoy.
But after a few days, he couldn't take it anymore; The smell on the other party is too rushing!
After asking Qu Jianlei, Xiao Jing ordered the other party to wash his body.
It's rare that the crack actually expresses resistance: there are conditions, and it is not such a loser!
Xiao Jing had to find a short dagger again and force the other party to comply.
After changing the bath water I don't know how many times, the crack finally washed itself clean.
This is a man with a very vicissitudes of life, but he should not be that old.
Although he was restricted from eating, he still grew some flesh, and he was still thin, but he was somewhat humanoid.
Next, it was still Xiao Jing who came into contact with the crack, and Qu Jianlei talked to this guy no more than three sentences.
This is what the hairless monster insists, he thinks that people are picked up by themselves, and they are responsible for themselves.
And he said a very philosophical sentence, "Keep your distance in order to better maintain your majesty." β
Qu Jianlei thinks that the hairless monster should have heard it from his parents, but ...... It really makes sense.
Before you know it, time passes quickly.
Later, Xiaojing was a little nervous.
He didn't dare to provoke Brother Heitian, so he went to harass the crack and wanted to know what was going on with him.
Crack was very reluctant to mention his past, but he was so entangled that he couldn't help it, and he confided in him somewhat.
In short, he should belong to a small team, and the relationship between his teammates is also tried-and-tested.
But because of the woman's sex, it was temporarily contaminated with the degenerate, so ...... He was calculated.
