"Old man, oh no, old man, don't, don't be impulsive, we were just joking with you, joking …" the young man who had a gun pointed at his head immediately changed his words and waved his hands.
In the dark age, killing people was much easier than killing those insects.
"Yes, yes, how can grandpa's meat taste good? If you want to cook, you should cook the children first, it is definitely not a joke, there is no such thing." Seeing Chu Yunsheng pointing the gun at him, the man who was shouting at Chu Yunsheng with a ferocious look immediately changed his face and smiled apologetically. He was afraid that a bullet would pop out of the muzzle and kill him.
Even the way he addressed Chu Yunsheng was upgraded to "Grandpa"!
If Chu Yunsheng had told them that he was a Skywalker, these people would probably have been scared to the point that they would kneel down in front of him.
This was the era where people were running for their lives.
"Tie that little girl up, we have raised her for so many days, it is time to put her into the pot. Grandpa, please sit down and wait for the meat soup to be served!" Seeing that the situation was not right, the fierce-looking woman naturally changed the direction of the situation. But she greedily glanced at Chu Yunsheng's gun, no one knew what she was thinking.
When the group of starving refugees heard her words, there was an uproar as they hurriedly set up the cauldrons and placed the ice and snow into the cauldrons. They then picked up some dried twigs to light the fire and started to boil.
A little girl who was about ten years old was pulled out from the pot. She looked at the pot that was melting the ice and snow in horror. She was scared out of her wits, she desperately kicked her two small legs and did not want to get close to the pot.
"Sister, sister …" a little boy who was about six or seven years old was holding the little girl's hand. He was so scared by the adults that he started to cry. He only knew how to call his sister.
"Hurry up, take off all the clothes and wash them with the snow to get rid of the smell!" the fierce-looking woman picked up the little boy and threw him aside.
At this time, a skinny man with a broken arm and tattered clothes hurriedly took the little boy, knelt on the ground and crawled in front of the fierce-looking woman, kowtowing and begging, "I beg you, please be kind, I beg you, let go of my daughter, I'll do anything for you, I'll do anything for you, I'll do anything for you …"
"Get lost!" The bearded man kicked him away and said fiercely, "You were the one who chose to save you, and now you regret it? It's fine if you want your daughter, but just throw your son into the pot! I would love to. The younger you are, the more tender your flesh is … "
The lame man's face immediately turned pale. He hugged his son tightly, as if he was afraid that the bearded man would snatch him away. He muttered incomprehensibly.
"What the hell?!" The bearded man spat on the ground and shouted at the refugees who were still in a daze, "What are you waiting for? Strip them!"
Hiss … Hiss …
The little girl did not have many clothes on her, and under the ferocious tugs of the refugees, her clothes were immediately torn apart!
"Daddy! Save me … "The little girl screamed at her father with all her might.
The crippled man suddenly trembled. A heart-wrenching pain twisted his face. He wanted to save his daughter, but he was also afraid that his son would be cooked. The intense clash of emotions was like a flood bursting through a dam!
But in the end, he lowered his head and clenched his fists. His nails dug into his flesh, and dark red blood dripped down from the gaps of his fingers.
"Daughter, Daddy has let you down. Daddy has let you down. If you live, I won't be able to live your brother …" The crippled man banged his head on the ground and wailed in pain.
"Daddy …" The little girl's face was filled with despair. Her mournful cry made one's soul tremble. Even one of the refugees who had participated in the act could not bear to watch.
However, the crippled man did not dare to look at his daughter. Like an ostrich that had encountered danger, he buried his head in the snow.
The little girl's heart gave up and she gave up resisting. She allowed the refugees to strip her clothes. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the sky. Her mouth seemed to be moving the two syllables of 'Mommy'.
In the end, when the refugees tried to tear open her insides, the little girl said coldly, "I won't resist. I'll cook for you, but Mommy said that girls can't take off their pants so casually!"
"Fine, fine, let her be. Hurry up and wash up. I'm starving!" The fierce-looking woman shouted impatiently.
Bang!
A gunshot was heard. The woman stared at the bloody hole in her chest in disbelief. She couldn't believe what she saw. Then she fell to the ground.
Originally, Chu Yunsheng did not want to get involved in this matter. He had already turned around and was about to leave. This kind of thing, not to mention here, even in Jin Ling city where the social system still existed, it was a common thing.
Even if he saved her life this time, so what? What about the next time? What about the time after that? Just like the girl named Meng Meng, who he had risked his life to save before he entered the city.
Moreover, if he saved her, these refugees would find other people to put into the pot. Someone was going to die.
This was the way of the world, unless the sun came back to the world.
But in the end, he couldn't hold it anymore. Maybe there was something called "conscience" inside his body that was causing trouble, or maybe it was something else. Anyway, he shot.
His gunshot immediately shocked all the refugees. The bearded man's facial expression changed several times. He quickly took out a machete from his back and said sternly, "grandpa, there are at least 30 of us here. You only have a pistol, at most ten bullets. Don't push us too hard, otherwise, you will also die!"
Just as the bearded man finished speaking, with a whoosh, a light blue arrow pierced through his chest and stabbed into the ground!
Then, from the hillside, a group of white knights galloped towards them. The sound of the horses' hooves shook the ground.
"White horse riders from the castle of Snowstorm!" One of the refugees exclaimed. But to Chu Yunsheng's surprise, they did not run away. Instead, they all kneeled down on the ground.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
One after another, arrows pierced through the air, and people's lives were taken away one after another.
The refugees seemed to have accepted their fate. They did not dare to resist at all. They just looked at their fallen comrades in horror. At the same time, they silently prayed that they would not be the next one to die.
After killing nearly ten people, they finally stopped shooting arrows. The horses galloped slowly on the snowy ground.
All the people who died were men. Even the little girl's father was killed by an arrow.
The masked woman, who was the leader of the female riders on the white horse, got off the horse. She opened her snow-white cloak and covered the almost naked body of the little girl. She gently wiped the little girl's face and said coldly, "You have to remember, in this world, men are more unreliable than insects! Come with me … "
After she finished speaking, she held the little girl's hand and carried the little girl onto the white horse.
"Sister … sister …" the little boy's hands were covered with his father's blood. He was panic-stricken and did not know what to do. He staggered and crawled while following the direction of the white horse riders.
The mountain wind that was blowing through the valley was blowing snowflakes all over the sky. The snowflakes were covering the dead bodies, the cauldrons, and the people who were still alive.
…
"Why are you following me?" Chu Yunsheng turned around and asked the little boy. His backpack was gone, so he picked up a tree branch to use as a walking stick.
"Grandpa, can you take me to my sister?" the little boy said while biting his lips.
"No, I don't know where your sister is," Chu Yunsheng shook his head and refused.
"I'm a good boy, I can do a lot of things, I can help grandpa massage your back and legs, I can also …" the little boy said eagerly.
"There are so many people, why do you want to find me?" Chu Yunsheng waved his hand and said.
"But grandpa, you saved my sister, you are a good person, they want to eat me, they are bad people!" the little boy's eyes were flashing red.
"It's not me who saved your sister, it's the people from the castle of Snowstorm who saved your sister, you just need to find them." Chu Yunsheng didn't know why he was talking to a six or seven years old kid. Saving someone for a while and saving someone for a lifetime were two completely different concepts.
"Then can you take me to the castle of Snowstorm? What castle? "the little boy asked.
…
They were already very close to the castle of Snowstorm, there were often search teams from the castle of Snowstorm passing by. Chu Yunsheng looked like an old man, if he walked fast, it would be suspicious. So he had to walk slowly, but the little boy was able to follow him closely.
One "old" and one "young", the "old" one was walking slowly, but the "young" one was following him closely. It was the first time that Chu Yunsheng noticed that when a kid was walking seriously, he was not slow at all!
Whenever Chu Yunsheng stopped, the little boy would come over and help him, or massage his back and legs. Chu Yunsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it was as if he was really an old man.
Whenever he walked faster, the little boy would immediately get nervous. He was afraid that he would get lost.
Just like this, the two of them were silent all the way until they arrived at the edge of the castle of Snowstorm.
The castle of Snowstorm did not have tall city walls like in the ancient times. Instead, it was surrounded by a large number of steel wires. Thirty meters behind it, there was a low wall that was filled with ice and snow.
The situation inside the castle was blocked by the low wall, so Chu Yunsheng didn't know what was going on inside the castle, but he could see everything outside. There were homeless refugees everywhere.
Chu Yunsheng once heard from the commander of the castle of Snowstorm, Xu Qingshu, that they implemented a hierarchical system, but they would not keep useless people for free. She probably meant the old, weak, sick and disabled people outside the castle.
When these people saw Chu Yunsheng, an old man, followed by a kid, their eyes were filled with a strange light. It was not any weaker than the group of people who were just killed.
Looking at the location of the silhouette in the mirror, before Chu Yunsheng rescued the imprisoned female candidate, he needed to find another candidate and give him some food to prevent him from starving to death.
Chu Yunsheng felt like he had become a babysitter!
Fortunately, in order to save energy, this old candidate did not move much since Chu Yunsheng left the divine realm. Soon, Chu Yunsheng found the real old man in a shack that was built with mud bricks.
"Old brother, who are you looking for?" The old candidate dragged his voice and asked weakly.
Chu Yunsheng was called elder brother by an old man, it showed how old he was. That damn baby Min, who knew how much of his life essence had been consumed by it.
"Someone asked me to bring you something," Chu Yunsheng looked around and saw that no one was around, then he threw the insect meat into the shack and said.
"Is it Lao San? It's really hard on him, I'm already old, I can die now, I don't want to waste the children's food … Thank you, old brother! "the old man sighed.
Chu Yunsheng didn't have time to listen to him. After he gave the old man the food, he turned around and walked away. But he saw the little boy standing not far behind him, looking at him blankly.
"Grandpa, dad is right, you are a good person," the little boy's eyes were filled with tears when he mentioned his father.
"What do you know, shut up!" The reason why Chu Yunsheng gave the old candidate the food was because he wanted him to live until the program confirmed the heaven's messenger, so he could leave this place.
Suddenly, Chu Yunsheng said with certainty, "I know, it's your dad who asked you to follow me, right?"
With the intelligence of a six or seven year old boy, under the double blow of his father's sudden death and his sister being taken away, it was impossible for him to think that following her was the safest option. The only reason was that his father, who was shot by an arrow, had left the last words to the little boy before he died.
A father who had to choose between his daughter and his son to live, but in the end, he abandoned his daughter. A father who was crippled because of his daughter, a father who was too weak to resist, a father who was still racking his brains to find a way for his son to live. Was he a great father or a ruthless father? (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log in. Support the author, support the original reading!) (To be continued.)
