The Nicks of Intertwined Fates Chapter 163: Mystery (5)
"You're going to adopt them?" Sanborn was surprised.
This is somewhat at odds with his preconceived notions.
These people are not qualified to be subordinates, and their thin bodies seem to be blown down by a gust of wind. There is no shortage of people in this world, strong men, beautiful women, there is never a shortage of people.
With Ye Suqin's current status, if he wants to pull up a team, the recruits can almost step on the threshold. Life in the wilderness is too hard, and everyone wants to be a big man, even if it takes a head in his trouser pocket.
Every day you live in the wasteland, you need to carry your head.
Ye Suqin took out a few cans of luncheon meat from his backpack, mixed them with the miscellaneous wild vegetables picked by the children, and boiled them in a big pot.
The weapons were confiscated and locked in a tin warehouse.
This training camp was closed two days ago.
The supplies for the training camp were provided by Geola, once a week, and the quantity was very small, and they were only enough to eat two meals a day to barely pay for their stomachs, and it was impossible to eat enough.
The stingy Peter will not provide more food, and in his eyes, these cannon fodder do not need much food either. Quality food is used to reward those who excel on the battlefield. As for those who trained Rakua and went to the battlefield and didn't survive for more than half an hour, there was no need to waste his already meager food.
In this world, the cheapest thing is human life. The value of food and water is higher than human life.
When they were freed, they broke the mountain that weighed on their heads, but at the same time, they lost their source of livelihood. Peter didn't have much money in his hands, he was a man who couldn't keep money, and even if he did, he wouldn't hide it here, he had a house in several surrounding towns, and he also had women and children.
The out-of-management camp, left to the wreckage of these half-grown children, had a predictable end, they ate up almost a week's worth of rations, and then a group of people sat and starved.
They couldn't get too far from the camp, and Geora's patrol roamed the neighborhood every day, and when they met them, the fate was self-evident. For patrols armed with armored off-road vehicles and anti-aircraft machine guns, a few or dozens of dolls with inferior rifles are just a little more fun to an already boring journey.
Fortunately, people who live in the moment are tenacious enough that they can eat grass, eat tree bark, and eat everything that can get into their mouths. In the process, several people accidentally ingested highly poisonous plants and were poisoned to death.
Thornborn smoked violently, a little unintelligible about the stinky boy.
The children lined up, and the young ones were staring with wide-eyed eyes and swallowing saliva and longing eyes at the tumbling pieces of meat in the cauldron. Those who are a little older and have a certain amount of life experience look confused, and they don't know what kind of bad water this stranger suddenly has in his stomach.
But the aroma of food still uncontrollably grabbed everyone's esophagus, and a pair of eager eyes became extremely urgent.
Ye Suqin's marching backpack, in addition to the necessary ammunition, was filled with food and water the most. He has a bigger appetite than the average person, so he pretends to be thicker. It is enough to cope with half a month's ration, and in the children's mouths, it is just a meal.
Half-sized children are the time when they have the best appetite and the most appetite.
Look down and sigh.
Only now did Ye Suqin have the time to relax, he took out a cigarette from Sanborn's jacket pocket and lit it himself. Neither he nor Sanborn had eaten.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Sanborn stared at him with an idiot's gaze.
He smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and said nothing.
"Do you know what most school officers do in this situation?" Thornborn continued.
"Kill them all," Ye Suqin didn't think twice, "For the school officials, this group of people is not qualified, keeping them will only waste food, and it will also increase potential safety hazards, so killing them is the most reassuring." ”
"You know that." Thornborne pretended to be stunned, "And what are you doing now?" ...... Is there any deep meaning? ”
"No," Ye Suqin grinned, "I just think they're quite pitiful, and I'm going to help them." ”
"Do you know what you're talking about? ....... Wretched. Thornborne's eyes widened in disbelief, "It's a word like you that would come out of someone's mouth." In this era, no one can say this word. You would feel pitiful for them, you would have pity for them, you are not sick. ”
Sangborn reached over and pressed Ye Suqin's forehead, "I don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense." ”
Ye Suqin slapped off his paws with a smile, and there was a rare demure in his expression. He rested his hands behind his head and leaned against the base of a wall, the lead clouds in the air hanging low, slowly moving forward under the strong wind.
There was a low whisper in his ear, and every now and then his gaze would be projected, and then quickly shifted. The children were very good, gave food, and after eating, sat quietly on the stairs of the house, with a pair of smart eyes with numbness, staring boredly at the ants crawling at their feet, without saying a word.
"These are wolf cubs, and if they are raised, they may not remember their kindness, but they will take revenge." Sanborn is still tirelessly persuading, with his decades of rich life experience, he has seen too many dark things in human nature, emotionally speaking, he has been kind to Ye Suqin, if he is a bystander, he probably won't be so bitter.
"I want to try." Ye Suqin said very seriously.
Thornborne looked at him for a long time, and at last spread his hands and stopped saying anything.
He also followed Ye Suqin's example, and put his hands behind his head, "When I first saw you, on the way to the extermination settlement, we encountered an ambush, and that time, I felt that I was almost dead, but fortunately, you were there at that time." ”
"I've never read so much information from a person's eyes, and I thought you weren't a simple person. And it turns out to be true. ”
"The world is terrible, we were born like this, limited resources can't afford to support too many idlers, from birth struggling on the edge of death, my childhood is the same as these children, maybe the only thing to praise is that I may be much luckier than them. To be honest, in addition to criticizing your approach, I actually have some envy, because I can't do it, but maybe you can. ”
"I'm not that great." Ye Suqin chuckled.
"But you're confused enough." Thornborne stood up, "You've been struggling between being in the same stream or being in the same stream. ”
"Is it that obvious?" Ye Suqin smiled bitterly and touched his face.
"Try to walk around, you'll find the answer you're looking for on your own." It seems to have opened the conversation, many things, in fact, usually, Thornborne did not say it so boldly, but today I inexplicably felt a little different, "Cartlett is not a good company, all the entrenched armed forces in the vicinity are the same, guarding their own acres and threes of land, watching others also scarce resources at hand, scheming and cringing. ”
"The world shouldn't be like this."
"The world should be changed."
"If no one is willing to stand up, then the world will not change in a hundred years."
Ye Suqin looked at him stupidly for a long time, these words should not come out of Samborn's mouth, he is just an ordinary veteran, when a monk rings the bell for a day, maybe there will be the cunning and philistine of a small person. But ideals or something, it really can't be hooked.
"Don't look at me like that," Sanborn laughed and punched him.
"Anyway, you don't want to go back to the headquarters to work, stay in this small village, you will have to show your stuff sooner or later. You're now in Giola with Catlet's tiger skin, but Tyro and Miles aren't idiots, and when they find out that you don't bring them any real benefit, see what they do to you. Thornborne chuckled, "You'll have to think about your own path, too." ”
Ye Suqin tilted his head and thought for a long time, "Or, Samborn, don't mess with Tairo, how about messing with me?" ”
"Come on, you are so poor and sour, and you still have to raise children." Sanborn took a sip, "You better think about how to feed or house these children first." ”
The two joked with each other for a while, and the sun gradually turned west, and in the wasteland, there was nothing to do, which was a kind of happiness in itself.
Sangborn had to go back, and Ye Suqin gave him two hundred yuan, which was all the property he could collect, and this money would be used to buy food and daily necessities.
Children can't be placed in Geola, this Ye Suqin knows better than anyone else, in Geola, he is just a guest, relying on Katerit's tiger skin, reluctantly being warmly entertained by the local forces of Geola, they are not entertaining themselves, but the forces behind themselves and their own strength.
So you have to be careful to hide this cowardice in yourself. Unnecessary kindness itself is part of cowardice.
There are countless pairs of eyes staring at you around you, and you can only pretend to be strong while being extremely careful to hide your cowardice.
For the placement of these children, he still has no clue, his subordinates are merciful is his wishful thinking, and adoption is also his impulsive behavior, after cooling down his emotions, he can't help but have a little headache.
He is different from ordinary school officials, he has no foundation of his own, no place for him to live, and now he is openly opposed to the company's second-in-command, although under the company's rules and regulations, Richard will not blatantly deal with himself, but in this era, he is tantamount to speculating on his enemies with the most vicious ideas.
The battle for rights and interests on the Kuduchen defense line will come to an end sooner or later, Ricio is not Honathan's opponent, don't look at Ricio is now thriving, but it is a trap reserved by Jonathan, he knows Honathan, this resolute man, in terms of strategy, is the same as his use of soldiers, he is good at fighting defensive counterattacks, first showing the enemy weak, and then taking a dangerous blow.
When Ricio is done with Ricio and regains control of the army, Hornathan, who has skyrocketed in power, will be the sharpest sword under Richard, and between him and himself, he also needs to clear some things. Jonathan knows what he's capable of, no one wants their head cut off while they're asleep, Jonathan doesn't want it, and neither does Richard, so they're going to do it to themselves.
On the Kuduchen defensive line, Kaman's deliberate efforts will eventually be to send "care" to his younger brother. At present, Richard's coup policy is also to cut off his brother's wings from the periphery, and then admonish the army.
The method is not good or amazing, but at least it is effective, and it is also an option to minimize the company's internal friction losses.
It's just that in the current situation, when foreign enemies are pressuring, the brothers are on the wall, and they don't know whether they are good or bad.
However, these have little to do with Ye Suqin for the time being, and he doesn't need to toss the battle of power hundreds of kilometers away.
The moon hid in the clouds, and the earth was pitch black.
The children took refuge in their residences. The temperature difference between day and night in the wilderness is huge, and since the Industrial Revolution, the weather on Earth has gradually become more and more extreme; In the warm spring season, the high temperature is more than 30 degrees during the day, and the low temperature is minus 178 degrees at night.
All the people in the camp had no extra clothes, and the thin tin huts with no heating facilities could not help, they could only withstand the bitter cold wind, but not the low temperature that poured in from all directions.
In the past, the children's choice was very monotonous, either they signed up for the group to keep warm, or they froze to death.
Ye Suqin gathered the children and stuffed them into Peter's house, which was the only fully equipped room within the radius, with a water supply system, a heating system, a comfortable sofa and a large bed.
More than fifty people were crowded in the hall, slightly crowded.
They were all accustomed to suffering, and lay on the ground.
Ye Suqin threw a piece of firewood into the fireplace, and the flames inside were burning, and the slightest heat was emitted, warming everyone in the hall.
The concrete walls and glass windows and doors also provide a good way to keep the cold out.
The food has run out, during which Ye Suqin went out, but returned empty-handed, there is no more edible game nearby, and those who can be hunted have been hunted and eaten up early by these hungry children.
I can only barely rely on wild vegetables and water to cope with a meal.
Ye Suqin hadn't eaten all day, and likewise, his heart had become heavier and heavier.
He hadn't bothered about food since he came out of Peter the Cripple, for the first time, and with more than fifty mouths.
The snoring around was loud, accompanied by the sound of gurgling stomachs, and some young people couldn't stand it, so they quietly got up and poured a belly of water under the faucet, and then came back and continued to lie down.
Ye Suqin got up, quietly patted the shoulders of a few young children, and motioned to come over, in a corner, he took out a few chocolates, smashed them and handed them over.
The children stared hungrily at the black snack with their big innocent eyes, and their Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably.
He divided the chocolates, and that's all, and each of the four or five children was given a small piece, which they stuffed sweetly into their mouths and covered their mouths with their hands, as if they were afraid that someone else would come and grab it.
Ye Suqin patted them on the shoulder and motioned to go to sleep.
When the children were gone, they found someone quietly getting up and standing behind them watching.
Ye Suqin clapped his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "No, that's all, you're a big kid, you don't still want to grab snacks from them." ”
Ye Suqin smiled and touched Ling's little head, and walked upstairs on his feet.
Ling opened her mouth and stopped talking, obviously Ye Suqin misunderstood her.
Weird, isn't it? In the morning, the two sides also exchanged guns, you live and die, and now the feeling is like a kind of family warmth, and the world in the cognition should not be like this.
They should be sold into slavery, or killed as a joke, and that's their fate.
Everything in front of her seemed to be subverting her inherent cognition.
This man, what the hell is going on.
Looking at the age, it doesn't seem to be much older than them?
Why do you do it, but it's particularly ...... Is....... It's unbelievable.
