Chapter Twenty-Eight: Strange Stories
This news made Yi Ming's originally questioning face turn into shock! This news was diametrically opposed to the current situation of the dynamic equilibrium between Beijian and the Xiao tribe that the doctor had told him! Such a large-scale mutual invasion was no longer a situation that could be explained by dynamic equilibrium!
Could it be that the doctor deceived himself? First Ming had to conduct a systematic analysis of the intelligence of Beijian City.
Judging from the comparison of the intelligence of the soul life, it is obvious that Beijian City has been waging a large-scale war against the beast rays in the past few years, and the human race is in a position of attack! But the doctor also said that the human race has kept the beast rays for hundreds of years, why has it attacked on a large scale in the past few years!
In the past few years, what has happened to the dynamic balance between the two? First Ming thought about it, and suddenly felt a little irritable in his heart, hating himself for coming here recklessly without asking about Beijian's current situation.
The current situation is that the army of Beijian City has entered the territory of the Xiao tribe, and it is necessary to rely on millions of civilians to transport grain and grass into the northern grassland, and these civilians have no power to resist under the attack of the Xiao tribe, so what is the difference between letting these people go to death?
Die?
First Ming suddenly thought of a possibility, this possibility made him shudder, combined with the road of ten deaths and no life that Soul Sheng said, could it be that these people were the bait sent by Bei Jian to feed those beasts? Thinking of this, his face turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice: "You said earlier that you transported grain, how many days did it take you on the road?"
Seeing the appearance of the first Ming, the soul was suspicious in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Almost the night we left the city, we were attacked by the beast team!" After speaking, seeing that the first Ming's face was bloodless, he hurriedly added: "However, now that we have a black baby, we will have a little more way to live! As long as we don't meet today's large beasts, we will have a chance to escape the attack of the beasts! And then we only need to go out day and night, hide in the grass, and sooner or later we will be able to escape the territory of the Xiao tribe!"
The soul wants to give some encouragement to the first Ming, but what the first Ming fears in his heart is not the beast, but the hearts of the people who are behind this massacre!
What kind of person is behind all this? At this time, the words of the doctor suddenly appeared in his mind, and under the military command was the darkness that ordinary people could not accept!
He thought of the doctor's words, and suddenly felt that he should not suspect that the doctor had deceived him, this wave of treacherous upper echelons was far from being fully known to the doctor, an old man from a foreign country, and the doctor who could tell himself that information had already done his duty!
And all the first Ming can do is try his best to survive, no matter what the conspiracy is in this matter, his own life matters!
After thinking about it like this, First Ming's face also returned to blood, which made Soul Sheng think that his comfort had worked, and he hurriedly took advantage of the victory to chase after him: " I expect that after this siege, the city will let us rest in peace for a few days, we can win the trust of some more people in these days, and then we can gather more people when we run, and when the beasts catch up, they will leave these people one by one, and when they find out what we think, they can only continue to run with us, so that I have a lot of tools at my disposal, and I will definitely be able to escape back to the two poles from here!"
As he spoke, a smile slowly appeared on his face, as if he was very calculating about his thoughts, and the smile gradually became insidious, until after he finished speaking, he looked at Yi Ming excitedly, hoping to get his affirmation.
First Ming listened to the soul sheng's words, looked at his feminine face, and slowly smiled, as if he was interested in the soul sheng's statement, and when the soul sheng finished speaking, he nodded to the soul sheng and agreed with the soul sheng's approach.
The two chatted about tricks under the dim oil lamp, and the shadows on the wall seemed to be the devil making a deal.
Heiwa lay beside her, her eyes fixed on the flickering oil lamp, not knowing what she was thinking.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning there was no one to arrange for the group, which allowed many to sleep until the sergeant came back to give orders to the bald hair, and they looked like they had been forgotten.
The sergeant came at noon and called the bald head out with a dozen men, and returned in the afternoon with a few cartloads of food and equipment, and then put them back in his own hands.
It was just a few simple armor and shoes, plus sharpened bamboo poles and a blunt knife, and nothing but a whip and a steel knife for the bald head. Beijian City probably acquiesced that these servants could not do any harm to the beasts, so they didn't even bother to distribute simple tools to this group of "auxiliaries".
Such a move made Yi Ming have to go one step further to confirm yesterday's conjecture, but it was only confirmed, and he had no choice but to wait for such a situation.
Just when everyone was idle, the souls began to approach those who were doing nothing in the courtyard. They are single or double, bored basking in the sun, and unconsciously become the "target" of the soul. After discussing with the first Ming, they decided to put this kind of lonely person alone as a "substitute for the dead ghost", and let the soul life contact these people and form them into a group, ensuring that they can "hold together" again when they run.
The method of soul life is simple. He went directly to these lonely people, told them about the possibility of encountering beasts, and then encouraged them to be terrible. When people started to get scared, he became a reliable character again, saying things like huddles and running.
Although the method is simple, but the results are remarkable, after all, people are creatures who like to hold together, whether they are careful or not, after thinking about it, they all agreed to join the team of soul life. Even if the people inside are unpredictable, it takes him one day to win over a third of the people.
The soul is born to do the things of the soul, and the first Ming naturally has his own business, and his job is to do the "ideological work" of the black baby. Originally, this kind of thing didn't need to be brought up separately, because Heiwa almost obeyed the instructions of the first Ming, but the first Ming still told the soul that the black baby needed to do some ideological work alone, and drove him out of the room in the eyes of the soul born suspicious.
After confirming that the soul life was gone, First Ming closed the door.
Looking at the black baby sitting in front of the bed with a pair of small eyes staring at him, the first Ming felt that he needed to have a heart-to-heart talk with the black baby, from the beginning of entering this city, the black baby was a little wrong, and yesterday he was almost abducted by the beast clan on the spot, which made him doubt whether the black baby could work together with him after entering the grassland. He asked, "Heiwa, what happened to you yesterday?"
"What... The endless question made Heiwa scratch her head.
The first one said, "Don't you know, yesterday, when the beast howled, you almost jumped from under the city!"
After hearing this, Heiwa looked dazed and asked, "What... Be... Beast... Xiao?"
First Ming: "......" He thought for a while, reorganized the language and asked, "It's the tallest beast... No, monster, what's wrong with you when it shouts?"
Heiwa scratched her head again, suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up, and she said, "It's just... That one... That one... It is... That one... Monster!"
Seeing this, First Ming nodded hurriedly, looked at Heiwa encouragingly, and motioned for him to continue.
Heiwa's eyes brightened more and more when he saw the first Ming's appearance, but when he wanted to say something, he began to scratch his head again.
First Ming saw it, a little helpless, and then changed his tone and asked, "Then did you feel anything wrong yesterday?" ”
Heiwa didn't think of a problem, a little embarrassed, seeing that the first Ming changed his mouth, he hurriedly thought about a new question, but this question was much simpler for him, his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to tell how he felt!
There is a play! First Ming thought, but after waiting for nearly half a minute, he was disappointed again, Heiwa did open his mouth, but he didn't say anything for a long time after opening his mouth. This made Yi Ming begin to regret why he didn't teach Heiwa some more expressions before.
It is estimated that he didn't want to disappoint the first Ming, and after some searching, Heiwa pointed to her big head, and said while pointing: "Here... Over here... It hurts!"
Seeing Heiwa like this, the first Ming's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly continued: "That's when the beast screams?"
Heiwa seemed to remember something, he closed his eyes, pointed to his head, and said with a painful face: "That... Call... Over here... It hurts! Wood... Prick your fingers!"
Ten fingers connected to the heart! You can imagine the pain at that time. First Ming never thought that Heiwa would use this kind of metaphor, he was relieved and touched Heiwa's head at the same time, and comforted: "Don't think about it, don't think about the pain." ”
With the first Ming's reassurance, the painful look on Heiwa's face gradually disappeared. When Heiwa opened his eyes again, First Ming could see that the corners of his eyes were getting a little moist.
Alas, seeing Heiwa's appearance, First Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if the child of an ordinary family is ten years old, not to mention that he is still under the love of his parents, he will not sleep in the open like this. That's like Heiwa, who has been disliked by everyone since he was a child, and when he can take care of himself, he will come to this kind of place with me to suffer! If I don't take good care of him, my death will be considered fate, but Heiwa's death is to blame me for burdening him!
Although in the past, the first Ming regarded the black baby as a talisman-like existence, but at this time, he felt that even if he was no longer capable, he should do the responsibility of an elder!
But pity is pitiful, the black baby has a headache in the case of the beast's howl, but it is a factor that the first Ming has to consider, if the black baby has a headache or loses consciousness when she encounters that kind of howl again, what should she do? Is it just sitting and waiting to die? The first Ming thought about it, as if there was really only one way to sit and wait to die.
So he began to pray, praying that he would not encounter that situation on the road.
