Chapter 16: Desert Survival (3)
The night was getting thicker, and the temperature was gradually dropping, and Chu Yunyun didn't dare to fall asleep. Today, it is easy to have problems with the body after physical overdraft, and it seems that this body was not healthy before, she is afraid that she will catch a cold after falling asleep, and she may not be able to get up tomorrow. And she was also afraid of accidentally turning over and falling from the tree, and some classmates fell from the top bunk into the infirmary, and she was still wrapped in a quilt and fell.
One night, Chu Yunyun felt that he had thought a lot and seemed to have thought nothing, and he seemed to hear someone talking in a daze, and he suddenly woke up. I almost fell asleep, it was so careless.
No, it's not dawn yet, so grazing can't come so early. Although it was not dark and windy, Chu Yunyun always felt that it was very dangerous. Holding her breath and hiding her figure through the poplar foliage, she was now very glad that she had chosen this crooked-necked tree close to the woods. It is easier to see from the inside and out, and it is not easy for people outside to look in before dawn to find her, after all, there are many branches, the shadows of the trees are mottled, she is very thin, and her clothes are also the color of dust, as long as she does not make a sound, she will not be discovered.
I could vaguely see the figures of five or six men, as well as the sound of horses.
"Why did the boss give such a sudden order this time, I just got it over there, and I haven't finished it yet. A man muttered, as if eating.
"Yes, I originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that I had a big ticket to spend the summer at home before the hottest time, and I have been staring at a few caravans for the past few days, and now I don't know which wolf cub to cheapen. Someone said with a sip of water.
"It should be temporary, you don't know the eldest brother, he has a free and easy temperament, and what he says must be realized, never dragging mud and water, this is the man. Another said.
"The boss's decision always makes sense, there must be something wrong with this Ka village. And the second young man is also about to have a birthday, this time it was also a coincidence, and he conveniently packed up Kacun as a congratulatory gift to the second young man. Another voice rang out.
"Just those twenty or thirty villagers can have any belongings, which is not enough for the brothers to stuff their teeth, how can they be embarrassed to show their hands. ”
"Ants are small but still have meat, hehe. ”
"Also, tomorrow is the annual Shaman's Day, and they will definitely prepare a lot of things, so we will reluctantly use them, hahaha. ”
"Alright, let's eat quickly, the horses have eaten and drunk almost, and we must rush back to meet the boss before noon." I went to Kacun before four o'clock, and I had to go back to celebrate in the evening. ”
"Okay, okay, go, I'll rest early when I'm done, I'm almost tired on the way. ”
After a sound, the surroundings fell silent again, but Chu Yunyun couldn't calm down.
If she remembers correctly, the stone tablet she saw at the entrance of the village seemed to have the word "Kacun" engraved on it, and there were only twenty or thirty households in the village, which should be the same place where the gang was going to "clean up". What should she do? Listening to their conversations, she knew that it should be someone who was "on the road", saying that she was going to rob something, and if she robbed something, she would definitely take it, and in the eyes of these people, human life was the least valuable.
Although she didn't know why the original body was driven out by the villagers, she was definitely not a passerby, and she should have lived in the village since she was a child. In any case, the villagers grew up there even if they didn't like her, and in the end she was only kicked out, knowing that it is easy to make a person disappear in a place that is out of the reach of national law. Since that is the place where the original owner once lived, and maybe her family, she can't turn a blind eye to it.
But the problem is, she can't go back even if she wants to, and when she does, will they really believe what she says?
Thinking about these things, Chu Yunyun was not interested in watching the sunrise. Dawn meant she didn't have much time left, and she had to figure out how to do it.
Walking to the river, Chu Yunyun took a closer look at this body for the first time. It looks like the age of a junior high school student, the face is very thin, only the size of a palm, the appearance is not beautiful but not ugly, the small nose is a little cute, although the skin quality is not very good, but it is better than the whiter, and the villagers I have seen before are very different. However, she also knows that some people are naturally very white and do not tan, but some people are allergic to ultraviolet rays. The more attractive thing on the face is the eyes, the whites of the eyes are relatively small, the black eyeballs account for most of them, black and bright, and the eyes are particularly large embedded in this small face.
After confirming his appearance, he washed up and ate something by the river, and Chu Yunyun found a fairly hidden place to wait for the people who came to graze. Perhaps the villages that lived on this oasis could be connected to each other, and she planned to wait for the herdsmen to come and ask them to inform Ka Village, so that she could help the villagers escape without intervening and get to know the people of other villages.
Chu Yunyun had also thought that this stupid way was pure luck, but she couldn't think of any other way. Mo said that the villagers' disgust with her would not allow her to finish her sentence, and how to return to Ka Village alone is a big problem. She didn't know the exact location, and she didn't know the route back, and there was only a little food left, and if the exercise was not too expensive, she could barely last a day. Although she also wants to save people, she will not make unnecessary sacrifices without self-determination, it is not a hero, just a strong individualism.
The wait is always extraordinarily long. Chu Yunyun looked at the endless desert on the other side of the grassland, as if he saw life and death shaking hands, the boundary was clear but close, and the fear of the desert in his heart deepened again.
After waiting for a long time, the sun began to bask and no one came, so she remembered that those people had said that today was the annual "Shaman Day". Although Chu Yunyun has always believed in science, he has also heard of many different kinds of beliefs, although he does not believe in this, he also respects it, after all, everyone needs a sustenance in their hearts, which is everyone's freedom.
She knows that some people are deeply trapped in it, especially in ancient times, in the face of the unpredictable nature, under the guidance of the rulers intentionally or unintentionally, and under the impetus of some believers, everyone will have a transcendent existence in their hearts, listening to their wishes, pinning their hopes and futures. The more remote the region, the more fanatical the belief became, so devout that it did not allow the slightest blasphemy.
It seems that shamans are practiced here, a very ancient and ancient religion. Perhaps because of everyone's attention, everyone is preparing at home today, and no one comes out to graze. This is very painful, is it true that he is just waiting here?
After a while, as if he heard the cries of cattle and sheep, Chu Yunyun hurriedly poked his head out and looked out. In the distance, a boy in his teens was driving two cows and five or six sheep. It's just that this person looks a little familiar.
When he got closer, Chu Yunyun saw his appearance clearly, thin and black, his eyes were a little narrow, and he looked about the same age as the original body, he should not be able to help at home, and he was sent out to graze. After a few more glances, she realized that this was not from Kacun, who smashed a fist-sized stone on his left shoulder when he was driven out yesterday.
Chu Yun wanted to cry without tears, this is good luck or luck.
