Soon, the old men, women and children whom they had met last time all appeared, some in good spirits, some with sleepy eyes, and stood in front of Liu Shiheng.
With a simple smile and gratitude in her eyes, she looked at him with some excitement.
Liu Shiheng thought to himself that this kind of scene is really not suitable for me. There should be a few bottles of wine in front of me, no matter how long or round they are. Opposite me, there should be Mamasang leading a group of graceful and smiling girls.
In my memory, he would sometimes throw money into the air and they would start jumping in front of him. That scene... I haven't seen it for a long time, and I miss it very much.
"Ugh...I want to go back to my colorful world!"
In fact, Liu Shiheng stopped and thought about it on the way, so he just left by himself and never came back. He had thought this way countless times along the way, and even several times, others had already walked out.
But what then?
A group of old people and children waited for him here obediently, for three days, five days... they kept waiting, and they couldn't wait. Finally, they met Dajian or something, and they all died in anticipation and helplessness? Believe in him even until death.
That's unbearable. well.
"Uncle Jun, we have been listening for the past two days, but no one has come to call Gayina. Now that you are back, will you take us out?"
When one of the children asked this question, Liu Shiheng was chewing fried cereals and dried beef, his mouth was bulging... He said vaguely:
"We have to wait and see, it's very dangerous out there."
Liu Shiheng had already thought about it. When he came back, he would just come back to wait with them, nothing more.
"Didn't I already report to 1777?! After they come out, Weilan will definitely have to bring people over to take revenge. As for Han Qingyu, that petty guy, he will definitely have to come and search for people all over the map to seek revenge. In short, there will be no worries when the time comes. Can’t meet anyone.”
When the time comes, Master Liu will withdraw first.
"Oh, Uncle Jun, how tired are you? Just hurry up!"
Gayina stood next to Liu Shiheng. She was obviously the youngest child here, but she acted like a little adult and said, "See for yourselves."
After running around day and night for several consecutive days, barely sleeping or eating well, and at the same time always experiencing fear, entanglement and struggle psychologically, Liu Shiheng's current state has become haggard. Even a child can see it at a glance.
"Uncle Jun is tired." Another child muttered, thought for a while, and suddenly asked with eager eyes: "Uncle Jun killed the monster?!"
Liu Shiheng turned to look at him and said to himself, you little brat, you really deserve a beating. My uncle killed such a monster. My uncle has been in Weilan for a year and has never even touched a big pointed hair. If it weren't for hiding from monsters, would uncle be so unlucky to meet you? !
"Well, I killed one," he said.
The children cheered quietly but excitedly.
Because they had all witnessed the big point falling to the ground and impacting the herd and hurting their fathers, they looked at Liu Shiheng with eyes full of reverence and yearning.
"But there are still many monsters out there," Liu Shiheng continued, "So, it's very dangerous to take you out now. We have to wait and see."
"Yeah." The children nodded neatly.
Uncle Jun has eaten and drank and it’s time to rest.
Below the back room, there was a space similar to an underground warehouse, with old wooden boards on the floor. After lying down, Liu Shiheng felt that he just closed his eyes for a while and woke up.
Looking at the watch, I saw that I had slept for about four hours.
It was still dark, and he felt uneasy and couldn't sleep. He sat up against the wall and looked around.
The children from the plateau were wrapped in robes and sleeping on his sides and feet, sleeping deeply and feeling at ease.
They are all the same, with dark and red faces and smiles that are not very beautiful but make people like them.
Turning on the flashlight toward the ground, Liu Shiheng carefully walked out of the pile of children and climbed through a hole in the wall to the back of the house. It was almost dawn, and he was going to look around to see the situation.
Two dark-skinned old men sat in the wall ditch, facing each other, with their ears pressed against the stone wall extending outward, listening intently to what was going on outside.
This is why everyone in the house hid so well when Liu Shiheng came twice. The few adults left here take turns guarding the children in the house like this every day.
The old man turned around and looked up at Liu Shiheng. Because he didn't understand Mandarin, he just smiled.
"I'm going to see what's going on outside." Liu Shiheng said, taking off the knife on his back.
The two old men nodded vigorously, even though they didn't understand.
Liu Shiheng climbed up from the ditch. He has already asked about the location here and the general directions around it, and this time he is going to explore the road in another direction to see the situation.
The sky was light, the grassland was open, there were stars, there was a gentle breeze, but there was nothing else.
Liu Shiheng walked away holding the knife, carrying the knife, turning his wrist and swinging the knife away.
He didn't know why he relaxed, and he wasn't even aware of it. Maybe the string that had been tight had temporarily lost its elasticity because it had been stretched too tight for too long, and it naturally became loose.
He even started humming a song called "500 miles" unconsciously:
"...A hundred miles, a hundred miles Lord I'm one, lord I'm two Lord I'm three, lord I'm God, three hundred miles, four hundred miles..."
We walked like this for more than an hour, and it was still dark.
Liu Shiheng lazily walked up a steep slope to a ridge. He stuck his head out and followed his gaze across the ridge line and into the distance.
"I...I'm holding your mother in my mouth!"
Something suddenly appeared in his sight, and Liu Shiheng's feet began to kick in panic. The gravel and soil continued to slide down, and he almost slid down.
Pulling with both hands, Liu Shiheng managed to steady his body and quickly lay down.
On the other side of the mountain, about a thousand meters away, there is a group of large peaks. Three black armors, Liu Shiheng believed that three were certainly a group. Now they were wandering towards him at a not too fast speed.
An antelope was frightened and fled in a hurry... but was quickly caught up and nailed to the ground with a sword.
"The Dajian group seems to be searching and cleaning up." Liu Shiheng felt a chill on his back.
Because this is not the most terrifying thing, what is even more terrifying is that there is another group of big spikes, four black armors, 3 or 400 meters away on the left side, wandering in the same way and searching.
Then on the right side, less than 300 meters horizontally and several hundred meters behind vertically, there are three more.
"He's on the street!" Liu Shiheng began to have a very bad feeling.
He turned on the device and started running quickly. Of course he wasn't going up to chop, but he wasn't running towards the broken house either. Instead, he ran in an arc counterclockwise along the ridge, observing the situation along the way.
Eventually, the arc was run into a near-circle in a constant state of great panic.
The results of the observation came out... I was completely blown away. Liu Shiheng didn't know why he was so unlucky. He stood still for a while and suddenly cursed through gritted teeth:
"I'm going to fuck you, sir, 1777 is such a bastard."
1777 surprised the enemy's large group of soldiers gathered everywhere.
"I worked so hard to report to you, you sons of bitches, you are harming me!"
Liu Shiheng knew his location, which was almost exactly in the southwest corner of the map, not far from the national border.
The large spikes in this area were originally cleaned and induced quite cleanly, so it was rare to encounter them. Now so many of them suddenly appear, and people are searching for them all over the mountains and plains. It is clear where they come from.
Liu Shiheng's guess was right. Last night, 1777 not only frightened the big spikes hidden in the three valleys, they also dropped a shuttle-shaped aircraft, including a blue spike.
Lao Jian's thinking at that time was to use it to block the enemy and buy time. He subconsciously agreed that the opponent must kill the two big ones, including the blue one, before they could continue to pursue him.
But the facts did not develop like this. In order to ensure that 1777 was retained, the Alphonse family only divided a small group of people on site to contain and kill him, while the others passed quickly.
In this way, among the large Jian group that was later alarmed, there was a blue and intact shuttle-shaped aircraft that could be used for towing.
The large blue tip cannot effectively command, but it can play a leading role. In view of the fact that they encountered too many people at the landing site and could not complete the cleanup, they carried the shuttle craft and started running and migrating as they did in the past, looking for a safe place to set up the towing array.
This pulling process is not simple or quick, they require time and space. Scattered groups of big spikes gathered from all directions, preparing to clear an area.
Some of them ran away that night, and some of them were led by the officer corps and ran far away. Looking back now, there are as few as two or three, and as many as a group of dozens.
"We don't have to wait any longer, alas!"
"I'm not supposed to do good deeds. This is how it is played in TV and movies. Whenever a scoundrel or bad guy wakes up and starts doing good deeds, they will soon die."
"No, I'm obviously not awake yet?! What's going on?!"
Thinking along the line of "I am not a good person yet, so I still have a way to survive", Liu Shiheng quickly realized that he did still have a chance.
Although the large gathering of people came from all directions, they did not actually form a queue, let alone a common pace. They are messy, uneven and unevenly distributed in different directions. Some groups are only separated by tens or hundreds of meters, while others may be so sparse that the distance between them is two to three thousand meters.
Such a gap, as long as Liu Shiheng is cautious enough, fast enough, and his luck is not so bad, there is no chance of passing through.
Of course, this refers to himself, alone.
He couldn't take them out. The chances are pitifully small. On the contrary, there is a very high probability that it will kill yourself.
…………
After a lap, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning, almost ten o'clock. Returning to the shabby house, Liu Shiheng did not speak. He put his backpack on his back, neatly equipped his equipment, and then sat on the ground with his head lowered.
This entanglement made him very painful, and he was on the verge of emotional collapse.
His face looked very bad. But the children don't notice it, they haven't learned to read words and emotions. Seeing Uncle Jun coming back, the children happily ran back to the back room, and soon ran out together.
A child's hands were held out, holding a handful of fried cereals in his closed palms.
On one hand is dried beef.
Finally, there was Gayina. She smiled very brightly because she was holding a bowl of hot butter tea in her hands.
This was originally a common thing for entertaining guests, but here, it is so rare.
"Uncle Jun, uncle Jun, have breakfast."
Gayina was a little excited and looking forward to it. She guessed that she might be praised by Uncle Jun. If the uncle praises the delicious butter tea, it is tantamount to praising her.
Liu Shiheng didn't say a word or raise his head. He wasn't hungry and didn't know what butter tea was.
"Uncle Jun, butter tea." Gayina said again: "Uncle Jun..."
"Are you annoyed?! What time has it been and you still have the energy to do this!" His mood suddenly collapsed, Liu Shiheng yelled out, raised his head and waved his hand at the same time.
"Bang, bang, swish!"
In the quiet shabby house, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, the butter tea spilled on the floor, the beef jerky fell, and the cereals held in both hands were also spilled.
The old man and woman poked their heads in from outside the house, looking confused, but scolding the children in low voices.
The two children who were carrying grains and beef had their hands empty. They shrank back halfway and stood there helplessly.
Gayina quickly wiped off the butter tea on her hands and put her somewhat red hands behind her back.
"..." Liu Shiheng's expression froze. He lowered his head and looked at the things on the floor. He then raised his head and looked at the children in front of him.
"Uncle Jun, I'm sorry." Gayina said ashamedly.
She just thought about it and felt that Uncle Jun must be angry because they lit a fire and made tea in such a dangerous situation.
She made a mistake.
"...Fuck!" Liu Shiheng was depressed to the extreme.
Tick tock, tick tock.
"No, I'm sorry." He held his forehead and whispered something not very clear. After a while, he raised his head and said, "If uncle takes you out, we hide... We will see monsters walking by. Can you not be afraid?" Lie down quietly?"
"Yes!" the children said in unison.
"Drill into the cow dung pile, let everyone drill through it once, and stick it to the grass, okay?"
"Can."
"Yes." Liu Shiheng remained silent after responding, then reached out and picked up a handful of grains scattered on the ground, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it hard, and swallowed it.
He picked up the porcelain bowl again and drank the little butter tea remaining in it.
After doing this, he said: "Uncle, can I teach you a sentence?"
"good."
Liu Shiheng hesitated for a moment and then said, "Uncle's army has a slogan. Every time we go to fight, everyone shouts it."
He smiled at the corner of his mouth and continued: "Let me tell you secretly, uncle never really shouted. At most, he just opened his mouth and pretended."
Then, his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and he finally said: "Because I always think this sentence is extremely stupid."
The children all looked at him blankly, but obediently said nothing.
"Come." Liu Shiheng needed to try to find some courage and motivation, the kind of courage and motivation that he had never had... He thought for a while, feeling a little difficult and uncomfortable, and said, "For everything that is breathing."
"For everything that is breathing." The children were very enthusiastic and serious, as if they were reading with the teacher in class.
"There is no retreat." Liu Shiheng's voice was very low.
The children said with all their strength: "There is no retreat from the battle."
"My body is blocking the sky." Liu Shiheng smiled bitterly.
"My body blocks the sky." The children also laughed with him, smiling brightly.
Afraid that he would regret it later, Liu Shiheng quickly stood up, reached out and grabbed Gayina's cheek, and then rubbed the round head of a boy with short hair.
"Uncle, let's check out the route again. You'll be back soon."
"You hide first."
Liu Shiheng put down his backpack and kept all the energy blocks for reserve. In this way, the source energy block in his device was not enough. He suddenly regretted it and left alone.
