Chapter Fifty-Three: The Riverside Dinner

。.。.。.。.。.。.。.。.。.。.。.。

At the Bird Feather River Meeting, the Taurus people finally got their coveted pasture; However, after the cession of pastures, both the Southern Union and the Northern Union were suffering from food shortages.

Taking this opportunity, Taurus General Thule strengthened his control over the Southern Alliance, intervening in the management of governments and armies at all levels, and arranging more Taurus people as advisers.

In the Southern Alliance, on the edge of Xihe Space City, there is a small village called Northwest Li, which is not large, with more than 400 households.

Gestai lived in this village, which was originally a family of four, and the life was not rich, but it was also reasonable, and there was no need for food and clothing; The eldest daughter is married, and the youngest son, Paulamu, serves in the army, and only the husband and wife live with each other in normal times.

Since the war between the north and the south, the life of Gestai has completely changed, especially after the loss of the riverbend ranch, in the last two years, the life of the family has deteriorated, almost to the point that it is impossible to open the pot.

On this day, Gestai was invited to a banquet organized by the village, which was held on the banks of a beautiful river.

He and his neighbors were dressed in modest dresses and beautiful top hats, and the family sat on the floor; Thick woolen blankets are lined with fine cutlery, delicious wine, large pots of boiled beef, and plates of sweet fruit in front of you.

In the distance are undulating mountains, and near is dense meadows, with small flowers of various colors mixed in the grass, fluttering in the wind, the fragrance of grass and the fragrance of flowers alternately attack, making people feel refreshed.

The river flowed by, and it rattled incessantly; In the clear water of the river, large and small fish are constantly jumping, and the fish attract many water birds.

Gestai was in a very good mood, and his son kept clinking glasses with him and urging him to drink wine, while his daughter kept picking the best fruit and giving it to her mother.

Today's beef is also exceptionally fragrant, Gestai can't remember how long it has been since he has eaten decent beef, it is said that this is the beef of the land of the river, it is so fragrant! He couldn't help but eat several large pieces in a row.

The neighbors also enjoyed the dinner, some of them were talking, some were tasting the food, and everyone was having a good time.

Gestai inadvertently looked down at his body, he was surprised, it turned out that he was sitting in mid-air, or in the sky, through the faint clouds, he could even see Xihe Space City from a distance, but his village was too small to be seen.

The river around me is also a heavenly river, and when I look closely, I find that it has no bottom, and the water just floats in the river and flows slowly.

"Dad, I'm full, I have to go back to the army." His son, Paulamu, stood up, turned around and walked away.

"Mom, I'm full, I have to go home, the children are still waiting for me." The daughter also got up and left.

"Gestai, I have to go too." The wife also turned away.

"Can youβ€”" Gestai tried to keep them, even if it was just for a little longer, he felt that he hadn't had enough fun, and he hadn't even eaten yet.

But by the time he stood up, several of them had already walked away.

He looked around, and strangely enough, the neighbors around him were gone, woolen blankets, fine wine, fruit, and beef were all gone.

。。。。。。

He saw his son standing in a huge battleship, with a laser cannon in his hand, constantly shouting and shooting at the enemy.

The battleship had already suffered several heavy damages, the inside and outside of the cabin were littered with broken steel parts, and there were several large holes in the bulkheads, and the dead warriors were lying on the ground, and no one cared about them.

His son Paulamu was also wounded in the leg and kept bleeding, but Paulamu was a very brave warrior and did not stop fighting because he was wounded, and he still held his post.

Another shell exploded on the bulkhead, and Paulamu was stunned, and after a while, he came to his senses, limped back to his post, and continued to bombard the enemy ships.

In the heat of battle, a magnesium shell hit them from above, causing a fire that burned through the bulkhead and the inner compartment began to burn.

"There's a fire, we're all done." A soldier said.

"Fight with them." The other shouted as he continued to shoot.

"We rushed over and killed them."

"Yes, with them." It was Paulamu's voice, he was so badly injured that he couldn't hold on.

The battleship, covered in flames, aimed at a battleship in the north, ready to complete the final charge with a ramming, but unfortunately another magnesium bullet hit its starboard side.

There was a loud "boom", and with the violent explosion of the ammunition depot, the battleship was shattered into several pieces in the flames.

Gestai seemed to see his son Paulamu, his eyes were full of tears, and before he died, he was still shaking his hands and shouting to him: "Father, goodbye, mother, goodbye!" ”

。。。。。。

Gestai turned around and saw a lot of white cloth scattered on the open space outside the village, and under the white cloth were dead people.

It was a plague at the beginning of last year, a strange disease that broke out suddenly, and then quickly spread throughout the Confederate Union, continued to make trouble for most of the year, and then suddenly disappeared; It's like a whirlwind, rising from the ground and disappearing out of thin air.

I don't know the name of the plague, because no one has experienced it, no one knows it, and naturally no one can prevent or treat it.

The village of Gestai was not spared, many people in the village were infected, including his wife; Cough, fever, rash all over the body, ulcers.

Suddenly, so many people fell ill, and the state was powerless to rescue them, so they could only distribute some medicines to each person, and finally even ran out of medicines.

Finally, one day, his wife weakly said to him, "Gestai, no, I have to go first, you have to live well." With that, she closed her eyes, shed the last two lines of tears, and walked away.

Now, Gestai saw his wife lying under a white cloth, surrounded by dead villagers.

The white cloth all over the ground, such a big piece, looks shocking, chilling, heartache!

。。。。。。

The heavenly banquet, the empty surroundings, and the only one left in the blink of an eye, Gestai's mood was so bad that he wanted to shout loudly, or even cry!

The river next to it is still there, and there is a small bridge on the river.

He walked to the bridge to see the scenery on the other side, and perhaps to ease his sadness a little.

When I walked to the bridge, I realized that it was a wooden bridge, with mottled planks and rusted iron nails, I don't know how many years it was; Standing in the middle of the bridge, he looked into the river and instantly saw that the bottom of the water had become so deep and far.

The slowly flowing river suddenly turned into a raging river, and the bottom of the river was full of strange rocks and white waves.

"Click," there was a loud bang, the wooden bridge broke, and the Gestai fell downside down towards the bottom of the river.

Strangely, Gestai did not fall into the river, but fell steadily to the ground, which happened to be his own village.

As soon as Gus Taixin was put down, from the top of his falling head, a bright white river poured down, which should be the water from the small river next to the dinner.

The river water that fell from the sky did not bring flooding to the village, but turned into ice cubes.

One by one, the Ice Cube floated on the ground, moving slowly, occasionally colliding with each other, and then drifting in other directions.

The gestai was sealed in an ice cube and could not move; He couldn't move his body, but his eyes could still turn, he looked around, it turned out that it wasn't just himself, there were many ice cubes around, and all the villagers were sealed inside, staring at each other.

A luxurious building appeared before the eyes of Gestai and the villagers, the palace of Lord Chahor.

Lord Chahl was eating breakfast, and on several huge tables in front of him, gold and silver cups were full, each gold plate was filled with exquisite food, and each silver cup contained sweet wine.

Dozens of brightly dressed beauties were dancing to the accompaniment of soothing music, and Chahal enjoyed the dance while eating, with a satisfied and smug look on his face.

Gestai suddenly felt so hungry, he realized that everything just now was an illusion, and he hadn't eaten a full meal for days.

Looking at the table full of delicacies of the Holy Lord Chahal, a nameless fire surged into the heart of Gestai!

Suddenly, from far and near, a black brick hit Gestai's forehead, and Gestai couldn't move anywhere in his body, although he was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

"Whoa," the Ice Cube was smashed, and Gestai woke up from his dream.

He turned over and sat up on the bed, and when he got down to put on his shoes, he found a brick on the table, which looked exactly like the one in the dream.

There is only one sentence written on the bricks: "The Holy Lord has no way, and the Taurus talent is your hope!" ”

"The doors and windows in the house are tightly closed, how did the bricks run in, what the hell!" Gustai wondered in his heart, and kept muttering in his mouth。。。。。。
