When the droplets are distributed, the vast majority of people are incomprehensible. Even under Captain Li's persuasion and explanation, there were still quite a few people who couldn't believe it.

Truthfully speaking, who can believe that a drop of water is worth hundreds of catties of grain? Even in folklore, there is no example of "eating" a drop of water that can go months without eating.

However, since the water has been distributed, there are soldiers with guns all around. Ordinary people, of course, do not have the courage to refuse.

I don't know who started it, but in short, in just a few breaths, hundreds of people have raised their heads and swallowed it.

"Huh!?"

Immediately, someone's face changed.

Wonderful feelings, shivers that fill the depths of the soul, all the exhaustion and pain are swept away!

Refreshing!

This feeling is far from being summed up in a cool word.

"What kind of miracle medicine is this!"

"Well, it's really strange."

"Wu Lao Er, try it quickly, it's amazing."

The exclamations turned into human voices, and more and more people began to try, and a pair of eyes that were crushed by suffering suddenly opened, and their expressions of surprise bloomed on everyone's faces!

Hunger.

It has long been swept away.

Everyone, every single person, has no interest in food at all.

And the magic of that drop of water is far more than just satisfying hunger.

It acts more on the spirit. The "poor people" who were devastated in the multi-day battle, the bodies that were about to be bent, the hearts that were tormented by fear, and the tense nerves.

All the injuries have been nourished, and all the pains have been compensated.

"Wow!"

Something even more miraculous happened, the old man with cloudy eyes saw this colorful and dirty world again after many years; The middle-aged man who had stuttered for half his life blushed and said the first smooth heartfelt words in his life; And the old lady who was on crutches suddenly felt the blood flowing to her thighs, and she tried and struggled, and threw away the crutches tremblingly...

Because of some water droplets, because of a white and flawless bead, the entire Zhiyang City has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Everyone"

The sudden deep sound broke the boiling of people's hearts, and those restlessness were suppressed little by little, and finally fell silent.

"Tick, tick."

Heavy footsteps knocked on the bluestone slabs that had been weathered for many years, and from the end of the road, out of the place where people often walked, a thin figure walked out.

"Your Excellency!"

"Immortal Chief!"

Some exclamations of surprise came from the mouths of the people, and even greater shock appeared in the depths of everyone's hearts.

Xu Sheng, one step at a time, walked slowly but firmly.

Wherever he goes, he doesn't need to say much, and immediately people will dodge and automatically avoid an avenue!

He didn't speak, but his heavy snort tugged at the hearts of everyone who heard it.

It seemed like a long time, but it didn't seem to be a long time, and finally, Xu Sheng stood in the middle of the crowd.

His eyes widened suddenly, sweeping over the familiar and unfamiliar faces.

"Rank!"

Xu Sheng opened his mouth gently, and just lifted his breath, but he choked in his throat, condensing but not speaking.

"Boom!"

Thousands of words, turned into a prostration.

"What!?"

"Immortal, you don't have to!"

"How can we pariahs afford it?!"

......

With a heartfelt exclamation, more than 42,400 people fell to their knees in unison. Men and women, young and old, soldiers and civilians.

This kneeling is not out of fear of the superior, not the result of being oppressed by the powerful, but completely, genuinely out of respect.

To them, Xu Sheng was more important than the gods in those temples.

"I, Xu Sheng, was entrusted by my brother to protect Zhiyang, but in the end, I let you die and expose the bones of more than 6,000 people, and now, I have to make an unkind decision. I am sorry for all of you, and I sincerely ask for your forgiveness. ”

"Where?"

"Immortal Chief, is this tormenting us?"

"Without the Immortal Chief, I would have been slaughtered a long time ago!"

"Whatever the decision, we support it."

"Yes, no matter what, the words of the Immortal Chief are a holy decree that is greater than that of the Heavenly King Lao Tzu."

......

Sentence by sentence, sound by voice, in Xu Sheng's ears, it is more resounding than thunder, and warmer than spring breeze. Listening to this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

He, a peasant boy, a plaything played by fate, why can he be so respected!

"Immortal Chief, get up quickly, if you can't afford it, they will kneel for a long time."

Captain Li crawled forward and dragged Xu Sheng over, his eyes were also slightly red.

"Good"

Xu Sheng responded softly, wiped his tears fiercely, suppressed the pain, and said with enough strength: "In the current form, everyone knows that although we have temporarily repelled the enemy army, the enemy may come back at any time, and we are in danger of overturning at any time. So... We couldn't stay here any longer. ”

"Ahh

"I've lived in this place for forty years!"

"Six generations of my ancestors have lived here!"

"If we leave here, where should we go?"

"In today's chaotic world, where will we be homeless?"

......

Questioning one after another, complaining one after another, listening to Xu Sheng's ears, his heart seemed to be cut by thousands of knives. How many people are willing to leave their hometowns? No amount of harshness and dissatisfaction is reasonable.

Can...

He is for the entire Zhiyang City, for the 42,400 people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation is urgent, and Zhiyang is in danger. If you don't believe it, look outside, the main wall has collapsed in half, and then look at the guys in the hands of our soldiers. ”

"Whew-"

The sword came out of his body, and Captain Li held it in his hand and said, "This sword is broken by a third, and there is a gap on it, and the rust is clearly visible." You say, 'If the enemy comes again, what will we fight?' ”

"This...!"

Under Captain Li's questioning, in front of the mountains of ironclad evidence, everyone was speechless.

"And the immortal elder, everyone, can't you see that he is getting haggard and more than ten years old these days?" Captain Li looked around and continued: "Immortal Chang has done his best, if we don't leave, he can only die in Zhiyang!" Ladies and gentlemen, how can you bear it? ”

"This...!"

People's hearts are flesh and blood, and every word of Captain Li is from the bottom of his heart, whipping into the inside, and everyone present is all bowing their heads and pondering, ashamed of their hearts.

"That's all there is to it, think about it."

Captain Li said slowly, pacing lightly behind Xu Sheng.

"I..."

After a long time, a small boy stretched out his hand in the crowd, he met the eyes of the people around him with a little shyness, and plucked up the courage to say, "I support the decision of the immortal chief. ”

"Good!"

Captain Li glanced at him approvingly, then looked into the distance and asked loudly, "For the rest, don't you want to express your position?" ”

"I also support the Immortal Chief's decision."

Another stretched out his hand, his arm straight.

"Me too."

"And me."

......

One after another, many people stood up in the crowd, their faces full of perseverance.

The appearance of an old man immediately attracted attention, and now it was some young people who came forward, and those who waited and watched, except for the children who were unconscious, were the stubborn old people.

He, the old man, first looked at the enthusiastic young children around him, and then glanced at Xu Sheng deeply, and then swept over Captain Li's sallow face, paused, and said in a deep voice: "The old man does not want to leave his hometown, even if he dies, it is not a big deal. ”

"What do you mean?"

Captain Li frowned, and many people's faces changed and their eyes widened.

"But—" the old man ignored anyone, and continued, "young people have a great future, and they should not die in this lonely city with us old fellows. If we don't leave, there will always be some good children who want to accompany us out of filial piety, and then it will be wrong for us. ”

"So..."The old man paused, tugging at the heartstrings of countless people.

He smiled and said, "We should go, not for us, for the future." ”

"Good"

Captain Li was sincerely amazed and was moved by the old man's profound righteousness.

"I'm leaving, too, and I can't hold back the young people."

"I don't think I'm old enough to move around."

......

"Thank you, thank you."

Xu Sheng bowed, tears welling up in his eyes.

"That being the case, without further ado, let's go." Captain Li shouted, bowed, guided Xu Sheng a few steps forward, and said loudly: "Immortal Chief will lead us." ”

"Good, good, good!"

The cheers were like a tidal wave, covering one layer after another.

Xu Sheng was helpless, so he could only stand in a daze, listening to them turn from excitement to calm.

Finally, the crowd got tired and stopped "making noise". Xu Sheng took a few more steps forward with a little apology, took a breath, and said loudly: "No, it's not me who leads everyone, it's Captain Li, and he will lead you." ”

"Huh!?"

The 40,000 people in the field, including Captain Li, were all shocked.

"No, Immortal, why...?" Captain Li hesitated, and half of his words were interrupted by Xu Sheng's "ruthlessly" stretching out his hand.

"It's you, you can't refuse."

Xu Sheng said, his eyes passed through a thousand layers of obstacles under the blessing of the "invisible secret power", and reached a distance that ordinary people could not see.

He doesn't go, because he doesn't want to go, he can't go. He's going to wait for Miss and his sister, and... Xu rampant.

He decided, alone, to guard the lonely city!
