The conversation between Lao Sun and Lao Liu gradually faded away. Chu Yunsheng, a new comer, couldn't understand and couldn't get a word in. He followed behind dully, thinking about his own thoughts. The legion commander couldn't count on him for the time being. When they think of themselves, they don’t know that in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse, now the only way left is the old man’s side.
…
"What? You want to drag the body?" Chu Yunsheng asked for leave again, returned to the thatched house, and immediately found the old man, but the old man said in surprise.
"Is there any problem?" Chu Yunsheng frowned and wrote on the ground with a dead branch. If this road was cut off again, he really couldn't find a better way.
The old man looked at Chu Yunsheng inexplicably for a long time, and said in confusion: "Well, you have become a masked man now, and you don't need to do such a lowly job at all."
Chu Yunsheng thought so, biting a branch, he made up a random reason and wrote: Money is tight, save more.
The old man looked at the ground and then at Chu Yunsheng. As if he suddenly realized something, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, you are so young and you still have a lot of time to go. I will take care of this."
Chu Yunsheng thought for a while, then moved half of the food left in the thatched hut, placed it in front of the old man, and wrote: If you have any difficulties, just use them to buy it off. In short, the sooner the better.
The old man was very surprised and said in disbelief: "You just put the food in the house like this!?"
Chu Yunsheng nodded absently. Since the Dark Ages, he has been completely opposite to others. What has always been in short supply is not food, but vitality and energy. As early as in Shencheng, he even needed to calculate every amount carefully, and Food and things are always filled in the talisman.
Under the inertial thinking, even if he is "penniless" now, Chu Yunsheng will not cherish food like gold, let alone hide it like people here.
Too many losses and gains have happened to him, whether it was food or other things. Today, Chu Yunsheng has almost forgotten the supermarket he was in Shanghai that day. Risking his life to attack red beetles just for a little bit of food.
However, food is food after all, and it is always the most precious thing under the dark sky. Chu Yunsheng couldn't escape either. Without the stable supply of the security team, his most urgent priority might not be how to leave the plant forest, but how to fill his stomach.
On the second day, Chu Yunsheng once again felt the power of such a small amount of food. When he emerged from the thatched hut, he saw the old man leading a row of roughly seven or eight women who were barely dressed.
He looked at the old man in surprise, picked up the branch used for writing by the wall at any time, and scrawled: "Ready to drag out the body?"
The old man shook his head with a smile and said: "This matter is not urgent. The boss has no plans to leave the forest in the past two days. How about we see them first?"
Chu Yunsheng didn't know what the old man was up to, and he was worried that he couldn't speak directly. He frowned and probably guessed it.
"Just tell me the one you like. I can answer them easily. There's nothing to be embarrassed about, young man." The old man said, rubbing his nose that was frozen in the cold wind.
Chu Yunsheng stretched out his hand to wipe the frost off his beard, picked up a branch and swiped it on the ground and wrote: I asked you to do the work of dragging the body, what do you mean by messing with it?
The old man saw that Chu Yunsheng's face was not good, and he didn't know what Chu Yunsheng was having, but naturally he couldn't offend the masked man, so he immediately explained:
"I'm looking for a wife for you. Didn't you say yesterday that you should save more food? You finally settled down here and found such a good job. No matter it was before or now, we ordinary people must not find a safe place to live our lives. A stable partner?
If you are far away, you have to pass on the family line. Closely speaking, the two of them also take care of each other. Your conditions are so good, and these few I introduced to you are all the most sought-after and best girls, and they are all lavish. Strong and kind, able to withstand hardships and hunger, not sick or burdened, I have asked them all, they are all willing to be with you, you pick one and look for a better life..."
Chu Yunsheng's face became more and more ugly. If he hadn't been unable to speak, he would have interrupted the old man's jabbering. Fortunately, the old man discovered it soon. Although he didn't understand why Chu Yunsheng was like this, in his opinion, it was a good thing. , is also a big deal. Even in the dark ages, at least this plant forest is a temporarily safe paradise, a normal human society although it is broken.
Isn’t it normal to marry a wife, have children, support one’s life, and live through hard times together?
The old man stamped his feet in embarrassment, stared at the writing on the ground and said: "I have given you the quota for dragging corpses. Next time there is an action, just go directly. This job is dirty and dangerous, and few people are willing to do it... "
Chu Yunsheng opened his mouth. He didn't expect it to be so easy. He thought it was a good job. He had to make connections and find connections, but he didn't want to just sign up. Sometimes things that he thought were complicated were actually very simple. And what I thought was a simple thing turned out to be very complicated.
"Let them go." Chu Yunsheng sucked in his nose that was itchy due to the cold wind, and wrote quickly on the ground.
The old man wanted to say something else, but when he saw Chu Yunsheng wrapped up in cotton padded clothes and went straight to "work", he had no choice but to say to the women: "Let's all leave. I'm not interested in them. Let's leave." Come on, it’s a cold day.”
The women looked at Chu Yunsheng's back with disappointment. Although they knew that the man was mute, the identity of the masked man was too attractive. Getting this job meant that as long as the plant forest existed, the family would not die of hunger. What's more, this man is alone, neither old nor young. What is he most afraid of in this era, is he most afraid of having one more mouth!
They consider themselves to be the best women in this area to live with. Although they are not beautiful, and some even have rough skin, they are strong, able to work, endure hardships, and know how to do things. They are good helpers inside and outside. A drag, a vase.
At this age, they are the most sought-after women. They are as beautiful as gods, but they can’t do menial work and endure hardships. In addition to increasing the chance of being raped by wandering men, in this forest of plants, there have never been many people who are willing to work with such people. A "superfluous mouth" to live together.
It’s already very difficult to support yourself, but I really can’t afford to have another mouth that only goes in and can’t come out!
Like the old man, they didn't know what was wrong with Chu Yunsheng's head. They turned a blind eye to the seven or eight best candidates. They originally came with good hopes, but couldn't help but leave in disappointment.
After they dispersed one after another, a delicate figure who had been standing in the corner for a long time turned around and walked around to the door of the thatched hut, put down a plastic basin filled with clean ice cubes, and silently returned to his hut.
****
A high-rise tree house in a forest of plants.
A woman with short hair stared at a map and walked back and forth. In the corner, there was a polished golden armor.
"Superintendent, he asked for leave again today." A fire expert came in and reported back.
The short-haired woman hummed and looked down at the jungle city through the window. Suddenly, she closed her eyes and said quietly: "Zhenjiang, can you still remember the scene when Fairy Dongbihua died? Her face was full of panic. , she didn’t even have a chance to resist, and was disintegrated piece by piece. She had a look of horror on her face, right?"
The fire man nodded without thinking, "Yes, I have never seen Hua Fairy show such a scared expression, as if she had seen a more powerful enemy than Master Bi."
The short-haired woman withdrew her eyes, fell on the map, and said: "This person is hiding in our Xibi. We checked everyone who was present at the time, and he was the only suspect."
The fire man said strangely: "But he is not your opponent at all, so how could he kill the Flower Fairy instantly?"
"Don't you find it strange?" The short-haired woman turned around and said, "He was clearly wearing a mask, but he didn't use any energy at all. He didn't even have energy protection when he was stabbed by me."
The fire man frowned and recalled carefully for a moment, then said: "But he was really trying his best at that time, and there is no doubt that he was trying to hide his strength."
"Can an ordinary person have such fast speed and such amazing reactions?" Short-haired shook his head, but he was puzzled: "But if it is really him, maybe he was injured or something like that. With his current strength, why did he register to do the dirty work of dragging corpses after becoming a masked man? Since it frightened Fairy Dongbi, why did he lurk to the West when he shouldn't be from Dongbi? Bi? These are all unreasonable and unreasonable."
The fire man hesitated for a while and only said half a sentence: "Superintendent, I still think it is unlikely that it is him."
The short-haired woman glanced at him and asked: "If it's not him, who else? Do you think he is the number one person in the world as the rumors below say? Even if he is not dead, think about it, a person who was once Killing the messengers of the ice and fire tribes, exterminating the entire legendary mechanical army, and even the insects respect him as a king. What is this mythical figure doing here? If it is to get the earth jade, who can stop him? But what None of it happened. Moreover, the Ice Tribe has withdrawn the wanted order against him, which means that this man is indeed dead."
The fire-powerful man shook his head, and finally said: "I'm not referring to him, I mean is it possible that our Lord Bi succeeded?"
The short-haired woman suddenly looked at the fire man quietly for a long time, finally sighed, looked at the map and said: "Zhenjiang, I can no longer hide this matter. It's time to let you know. We may have to escape from the East-West Plant soon." Lin, this is why I used all means to collect materials in exchange for the energy blocks in the hands of the other two governors, because our Lord Bi is dead!"
ah!
The fire-powerful man suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and was stunned!
The short-haired woman's eyes were filled with hatred, and she said: "Dongbi has already prepared his troops and assembled a large army. They will kill him in less than three days!"
****
In the middle of the night, Chu Yunsheng withdrew from the "battle group". The sequelae of staying up late began to attack again. He couldn't fall asleep no matter what. After rolling around for a while, he suddenly heard a slight little girl singing from behind the thatched house: "... ...Without the fragrance of flowers, without the height of trees, I am just a grass that no one knows..."
Chu Yunsheng put on his torn cotton clothes, walked around the front door and came to the back of the house.
"Uncle, can you talk to me? I haven't talked to anyone except my sister for a long time..."
The little girl raised her head, her eyes full of loneliness and longing.
