Chapter 53: Sacrifice in the Wasteland

When I heard Piyu say that he was going to call the police, I couldn't stop crying or laughing.

"Zhizi, I've thought of all the ways, but I haven't thought of this one, which one of you will come out."

Tomoko sorted out his thoughts and said, "You're just thinking about saving Piyu now, have you ever thought about why Hamid came to Australia?" Is it just for Piyu? No, Piyu is just a simple task in his trip to Australia, if for Piyu, he can send five falcons, five falcons, he can also send ten falcons, one hundred falcons, the Ottoman prince wants to get a person from Australia is too simple, even to say hello to the governor, the governor can send Piyu back to Ottoman. ”

"And what is he for?"

"Business, Hamid is in charge of the economy of the Ottoman Empire, you just told me about Brown and the mysterious Ottomans, it seems that Brown and Hamid secretly cooperate."

I have to admire Tomoko's thoughtfulness, I just listened to the excitement from Xiaobu, but Tomoko found something deeper in it. "You mean Hamid and Brown worked together to open a gold mine?"

"Isn't it? Not only the Brown Gold Mine, but even the money eye jewelry store is Hamid's, which you and I know. ”

I nodded, "You have a point. ”

"Also, have you noticed that the Governor of Australia has a close relationship with Prince Hamid?"

"Of course I know that, the Governor wants to train me to be a monkey and give it to Hamid?" Every time I think about this, I can't help but get my blood pumping.

"Then the Governor was also appointed by the Queen of the British Empire herself, so why please Hamid? Have you thought about this? ”

I shook my head, "I didn't think about this at all, so what would be the relationship between the Governor and Hamid?" ”

Zhizi looked out the window and said: "Ma Qian, a big company in China, once said that the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, and the governor's friendship with Hamid is nothing more than interests." ”

"I'm getting more and more confused about what you said, what does this have to do with what you said about calling the police?"

"When the balance is on the street, a small pebble can also throw the scales out of balance, and Hamid is leaving, which means that he and the governor have reached a balance of interests, but if Hamid asks the governor for something, the scales will tilt in favor of the governor. Brother Bug, all you have to do now is that little pebble. ”

I looked at Zhizi, my heart trembled with fright, I just thought that this Zhizi was a quirky little girl before, who knew that she had so many ways in her head, fortunately I didn't provoke this aunt, otherwise, she sold me, and I had to happily help her count the money.

"You're saying I'm going to do something good for the Governor against Hamid?"

"Well, that's basically what it means, and the most powerful cards in the governor's hand are the police and the army, if the governor helps Hamid, Hamid owes the governor a favor, and the debt is always repaid!"

I seemed to realize, "But you still haven't said how to save Piyu?" ”

"Why do you say save, not assassinate?"

I was taken aback, "Tomoko, how did saving people change to killing?" ”

Zhizi said word by word: "Brother Bug, even if you have the great ability to kill all of Hamid's entourage, but if Hamid points a gun at Piyou, you still have no way to save Piyou." Piyu is your scruples, and now you just want to turn Piyu into Hamid's scruples, so that Hamid can't leave, and you have to do everything you can to protect Piyou. ”

It dawned on me, "Zhizi, your idea is too high, you are simply Zhuge Liang, including the governor and Hamid." ”

Zhizi groaned: "Is it really good to be Zhuge Liang, but in the end he died in Wuzhangyuan." Brother Bug, if it were possible, I would be willing to live as simply as you do. ”

Listening to Zhizi's words, I was a little distracted, the image of Zhizi in my heart is not as simple and clear as Pi You, Pi You is a girl who dares to love and hate, advocating freedom, but Zhizi is different, she is sometimes eccentric, sometimes well-read and memorable, sometimes she has vicious eyes, and suddenly she is quiet and melancholy, what kind of goblin is this.

The first time I saw Tomoko, I grabbed her like a fierce god, but in the blink of an eye, she grabbed her; And on the shore of Lake Glo, Tomoko can force me to pretend to be a wild man to attack Xiaobu, and it is also on the shore of that lake, when Piyu wants to teach Sasaki to cross the river, Tomoko suddenly becomes depressed.

If Pi You is a clear spring, spewing beads and jade, the joy is surging; Luna is a brook pool, the water is as clear as jade, flowing silently; And Zhizi is an abyss, pitch black, so that people can't see the bottom, and the more you look at it, the more frightening it becomes.

Known as Wollongong, this area is a rolling mountain stretching from north to south, like a dragon entrenched on the east coast of Australia. The mountains are full of cypresses and pines, eucalyptus forests, and some springs flow out of the valleys, playing joyful songs day and night.

There is a road on the east and west sides of Wollongong, with the east road running along the coast from Sydney to Melbourne and the west road being the fastest route from Bryden to Sydney.

After the establishment of Australia, the two cities of Sydney and Melbourne wanted to become the capital of Australia, but the competition between the sandpiper and the clam turned out to be the benefit of the Bryden fisherman between the two cities, and the Australian government changed the name of Bryden to Canberra, but the locals preferred to use the old name Brydon.

Perhaps one day, Canberra will be remembered by the world, while Brydon will be forgotten by the world as time passes.

Wollongong, which I am also familiar with, travels south along the ridge, past Shelhaber to the Great Wolf Mountain. Wollongong has many matsutake mushrooms, which are extremely rare ingredients, and in the city's luxury restaurants, a serving can be sold for sky-high prices, but unfortunately, these matsutake mushrooms will spoil in less than a day after they are picked. It's nearly 120 kilometres from Sydney and 80 kilometres from Brighton, so Nemo's legs and I can't go into the city to deliver to the fancy restaurants, so more often than not, I'll have to pick up the pot and throw it into the valley if I can't eat. If the big golden tooth of the Crown Hotel found out, he would definitely vomit blood in distress.

Tomoko and Sasaki sent me here in Mr. Tanaka's car, made some appointments with me, and hurried back.

It's a great place for an ambush, and what I'm going to do is hold Hamid here for a day, so they can't get on the boat and can't leave Australia. If Hamid can't go, he can't take Piyu with him, and I have more time to take Piyu with him.

I sat on a high post outside the city, wiping my gun. This rifle is a British Lee-Enfield rifle, it is an upgraded version of the Lee rifle, because it uses a double row of magazines to feed, so the ammunition capacity is up to 10 rounds, which is more than twice that of most firearms, and is known for its fast rate of fire and fierce firepower. When I practiced shooting together in the barracks, I used this rifle, and it was very handy. I heard that some guns are now equipped with a scope, which can allow people to lock on to a target 500 meters away, and a good shooter can even hook the soul of 800 meters away.

However, this rifle is just right for me, who has only used shotguns, and I am not very used to using a front sight, and it is impossible for any shooter to be able to include a false shot without training, if there is, it is not a genius, it is a god.

The sun had set in the west, the heat had dissipated, the wind had cooled, I walked into Wollongong with my gun, and I ran through the jungle, memorizing every mountain, every valley, every cave, even every tree, every rock. The heavy guns and the hard running made me sweat, but I couldn't stop because I didn't have much time at my disposal. Tomorrow morning, Hamid will pass down the hill with Piyu, and it will be a matter of success or failure.

I found a cave to live in, and Tomoko prepared me some beef jerky that would provide me with energy at any time. I lit a bonfire and set up a string of bells at the entrance of the cave to guard against the beasts that attacked me in the middle of the night. I spread some hay next to the fire and fell asleep with my gun in my arms.

The next morning, I was awakened by the chirping of birds, and I took a deep breath of the mountain air, refreshed myself, and then hastily ate some dried meat, and then came to the ambush site.

I was lying behind a boulder, and the road was at the foot of the mountain. Here you can stretch your head to overlook every move on the plain, and curl up to take a break, which is really a good place to investigate. Behind me is the reckless jungle, and they are like a big mouth, waiting for the prey to crawl to their mouths.

I pulled some grass, scratched off branches, and kept adding camouflage to my body, I am not a chameleon, and I can't automatically change the color of my body, so I can only change my camouflage according to the surrounding environment.

My father told me that in a battlefield where life is at stake, the slightest mistake can cost you your life.

When he taught me marksmanship, he told me that this kind of change in nature is going on all the time, but many people don't have that patience, so he makes me lie on my stomach in the bushes all day long, lying on my stomach during the day and lying on my stomach at night, observing the changes in nature, the sunrise and sunset, the moon rising and falling, the wind is fast and the wind is slow, and the clouds gather and disperse, these changes will quietly affect every living being, including those flowers and plants. If you pay attention to these changes, you will be able to detect the fighters, and if you ignore these changes, you will only die.

My father's professorship was strict, and it worked, and he even dived into the water and asked me to find him by observation on the surface, but that time, I didn't find him for half a day, and I once suspected that my father had dived somewhere else and went ashore to go home. Just as I was about to give up, I noticed dragonflies dancing on the water, they rose and fell, falling and flying on the reeds on the shore.

At this time, a persistent dragonfly caught my attention, it wanted to land on a broken reed stalk, but every time it fell, it flew away immediately, and never succeeded in landing on it. At first I thought it was funny, but suddenly it dawned on me that it was the air currents in the reeds that were interfering with this cute little one.

My father could not never breathe when he dived into the water, so he borrowed this reed stalk to maintain, but the dragonfly uncovered my father's disguise, and when I was young, I was a childlike child, and I quietly went over and suddenly pulled out the reed, and after a while, my father came out of the water. He listened to me tell me what happened, nodded approvingly and said, I passed the assessment, and since then I have more and more admiration for my father! Picking up a shotgun again, I was finally able to cross the wasteland.

Just as I was in my trance, I heard a young girl emerge from the opposite mountain and walk up the stone path with a basket on her back. The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and her thin figure made her clothes look thinner, and her trousers seemed to have been cut by branches, revealing her fair calves, and she was barefoot, and she wore a pair of worn slippers on her feet, which made it impossible for her to walk too fast.

Apparently the maiden had spent the night in the mountains, as I had done, carrying the matsutake and mushrooms she had gathered, ready to carry them to the town and sell them for a few pitiful pennies.

There are many such children in the slums of Wenzhe Town, and they have to bear the burden of life at a young age.

I remembered one day when I was ten years old, I ran with Nemo to the moor. After wandering all day, when the sun went down, we realized that we were lost and our stomachs were rumbling with hunger. Luckily, we met our older sister next door, Sekvans ▪, who was very beautiful and easy-going, and many of the old men in the town smiled when they saw her.

Like this girl today, Fansi often carried a basket on her back to the wasteland to collect wild vegetables. That day, Van Si gathered a whole basket of wild vegetables, which was so heavy that she walked very slowly, and Nemo and I ran over to help.

As if a prophet, she asked, "Are you two lost?" ”

Nemo and I laughed innocently, Van Si laughed at us as two little fools, she put down the basket and took out a dry potato cake from her pocket for us to eat, the potato cake was very dry and tasteless, but it was the best food for me and Nemo after a day of hunger.

After eating hash browns, Van Si was ready to take us back to town. However, it quickly darkened at this point.

On that day, there was no moon or stars in the sky, and the moor was frighteningly dark.

That's right, the night of the wilderness in Australia is not the beauty of Lake Glo in the moonlight, on the contrary, the night of the wilderness is black on a moonless night, as black as a beast that devours life; It's quiet, so quiet that it feels like there's always a wandering soul standing behind it; Only occasionally could I see a few green rays, which were the eyes of the beast.

Our group of coyotes found out, and Van Si threw away the basket and began to run with us as hard as she could. Coyotes are obvious bullies and fear of the hard, and once they find out the fear in your heart, they will pounce on you and bite off your throat.

There was a big tree in front of him, and Van Si shouted, "Billy, Nemo go up the tree." ”

I was dexterous and quickly climbed up the trunk, but Nemo was stupid enough to climb up the tree, so I had to reach out and grab him by the collar and pull it up desperately, while Van Si tried to lift Nemo up below.

I finally lifted Nemo up the tree, and the coyote knew that if we all climbed up the tree, the dinner would be nowhere to be seen, and quickly pounced.

Van Si hugged the trunk and tried to climb up, and I grabbed her hand and lifted it up.

Van Si suddenly screamed in pain, and I knew that the coyote had bitten her feet and legs, and was tugging at me to drag Van Si down.

The sharp pain caused Fansi to loosen her hands and her body fell down, and I grabbed her hand with all my strength, but I couldn't get her back from the wolf's mouth. Van Si looked at it and shouted, "Climb up", and then fell. Fansi's miserable cry faded to death amid the coyote's biting and growling, and finally fell silent.

Nemo cried out in fright, and I grabbed his hand and told him that our position was too low and that we had to climb up.

We finally climbed to the top and stopped. When I looked down, I saw a pitch black patch under the tree, and a large pack of coyotes roaring, biting at the sister next door who had given us a piece of hash brown.

She used her body to sacrifice the eternal laws of the wasteland.

Nemo and I spent the night in the trees, and the next morning, the wolves had long since dispersed, and under the tree was a white skeleton, lying on the crimson grass, bathing in the sun.

That night, I thought for a long time, I wanted to be a hunter and kill all the beasts of the wasteland, so that a girl like Fansi would no longer have to fear being eaten by a coyote.

Today, the girl with the basket on her back remembered Vansi, that beautiful sister.

A car was speeding by, and I saw in the distance the face of a horse and a pig's head, two people talking and laughing with cigarettes in their mouths.

I'm a little puzzled, why are there only these two guys, Hamid and Piyu?

At this time, Ma Yan drove the car and saw the girl walking on the road.

He laughed and muttered a few words to the pig's head, and the pig's head laughed.
