Under the scorching sun, the vast desert was like being baked on an oven. The scorching heat wave swept every inch of the land, making it hard for people to breathe.
The wind was blowing, the sand was flying, the sky was dark, and the sand waves were surging forward, like an invisible giant hand, peeling off the sand layer one by one.
What Chu Yunsheng saw on the little tadpole aircraft was not wrong, the two figures were the little boy and Zhou Daqian's five-year-old daughter.
At this moment, the two helpless people were being rolled up by the sand layer by layer.
A few days ago, the little girl was tired of crying, so she stayed next to the "body" of the shadow man. She did not dare to leave, nor did she dare to sleep. She was very scared, especially in the silent night, when the strange sound echoed in the desert, she was scared to cry again and again.
The shadow man was very annoyed by her crying. It wanted to pinch her to death with its fingers, but it couldn't move, and it couldn't open its mouth.
There were several times when the shadow man was on the verge of rage. It was in a very bad mood. A large amount of life force was drained, and its consciousness was severely damaged. Now the situation was in a precarious situation, but the little girl kept staying by its side. It was very annoying.
It was true that the little girl had found a lot of food and water from the backpack scattered on the ground and fed it a lot. Otherwise, it might have starved to death or died of thirst. However, the shadow man did not feel grateful. For it, it was a great shame to have to rely on a lowly human, and a weak little girl to take care of it. It was absolutely unacceptable.
Chu Yunsheng was gone, and human beings were useless to it.
Therefore, the shadow man had already made a plan. Once it regained its mobility, the first thing it would do was to kill the little girl.
The little girl also seemed to know that the shadow man was still alive, but for her, it was a great awakening. Every day, she was very "excited" to talk to the shadow man a lot. She took care of her brother Xiao Ba like a big doll. In the entire oasis, only the two of them were left.
After staying in the oasis for many days, the little girl gradually became desperate. She gathered the scattered backpacks and put the food and water into a backpack that was even bigger than her. She bit her lips, looked at the sky, clenched her small fists, and decided to find her parents.
"Brother Xiao Ba, why are you still not talking?"
"Are you angry again?"
"I put water and biscuits in front of your mouth. You can eat them as soon as you stretch your head, okay?"
The shadow man was furious. What did this little girl think he was? A dog? Or was it a girl's doll?
It actually knew what the little girl was doing, but it didn't need this kind of feeling. In its eyes, humans were all lowly creatures.
When the little girl picked the green twigs from the thorn-ball-like plant forest, her pants were cut more than a dozen times, and her tender skin was also bleeding. There were even a few cuts on the back of her hands. She knitted a small round flower hat for the shadow man and placed it on the head of the shadow man, carefully blocking the burning sunlight.
The shadow man looked at the childish green circle and sneered in his heart, 'How dare you make yourself look like this? However, don't think that doing so will make me feel grateful!
While it was thinking, the little girl continued to speak.
"Brother Xiao Ba, I'm going to see Mom and Dad. I'm leaving."
The shadow man thought to himself, "Get out of here, the farther the better."
"Brother Xiao Ba, I'm really leaving."
"Brother Xiao Ba, you really don't want to go with me?"
"Okay, then I'll go by myself."
…
The little girl dragged the huge backpack, walked a few steps, looked back, walked a few steps, and looked back again, as if she was waiting for Brother Xiao Ba to get up and catch up with her.
After a long time, the little girl's shadow seemed to have disappeared. The shadow man looked at the starry sky and inexplicably thought of his childhood, and his eyes gradually became cold.
The next day, when the shadow man woke up, he found that the little girl had returned and was still sleeping next to him.
"Brother Xiao Ba, I've decided, I'm going to take you with me to find Mom and Dad."
"I won't leave you here alone. Don't worry, I'll take good care of you."
…
"Brother Xiao Ba, do you have Mom and Dad?"
"Brother Xiao Ba, do you think we can find them?"
…
As always, the shadow man felt that the little girl was very annoying.
…
That afternoon, the little girl used the rope on the abandoned backpack to tie a knot on the little boy's body. Then, under the scorching sun, she kicked the sand with her shoes, which were worn out and exposed her big toes. Her little body arched into the shape of a shrimp, and the rope cut into her flesh, leaving a bruise. She groaned softly and pulled the little boy, who was extremely heavy for her small body.
Because she was too weak, her little face turned red, and the sweat on her forehead flowed along her messy and soft hair under the scorching sun, condensing into white salt and messing up her face.
She first pulled the little boy for a while, then came back, pulled the big backpack over, then rested for a short time, and continued to pull the little boy again, moving with difficulty on the scorching desert.
Again and again, the two of them were covered by the sand, again and again, the two of them rolled down the sand dunes, and again and again, the two of them were blown over by the strong wind …
The shadow man couldn't move on the hot sand. Looking at the back of the little girl who was trying hard to bend her small body, he sneered in his heart, "Don't think that I will sympathize with you and thank you for doing this. I teamed up with Chu Yunsheng just to teach that garbage cardinal a lesson. Do you really think that I will care about you lowly human beings? Ridiculous! "
…
*****
"A woman with long hair, hang the sari from the railing …"
Sari, scarf, and wide apron.
What appeared in front of Chu Yunsheng was the image of a Stani, without even thinking, he knew that it was an Indian.
A middle-aged Indian man with brown skin and a gray scarf wrapped around his head stopped in front of Chu Yunsheng. Glancing at the bulging backpack behind him, he lowered his head and wrote something on a small notebook. Then without raising his head, he arrogantly said in Indian dialect English, "Chinese? Japanese? Or Korean? Do you know the rules here? "
Chu Yunsheng also glanced at him, and then his eyes fell on a long mud wall behind this man. It was probably newly built, and the dry and cracked soil layer was still wrapped in the smell of wet soil. It was about two meters high, and it was surrounded by a relatively thin jungle area. Through the gate in the middle, he could see that there were many people inside, and there were many tents. It should be the official camp of the Indian people.
When he came here with the naked people he met before, it was already getting late. Chu Yunsheng wanted to wait here for Ashe, Buterne, and the others, and he also wanted to go in and change his clothes, so he replied in English, "Chinese, what are the rules?"
The middle-aged Indian man didn't even lift his eyelids, continued to write, and continued to ask expressionlessly, "Name, occupation, age, have you ever had a criminal record?"
Chu Yunsheng frowned and looked at him. This man asked too many questions. Wasn't it just a camp? Now that the country was gone, what was the point of asking these questions?
Seeing that Chu Yunsheng didn't speak for a long time, the Indian man raised his thick eyebrows, looked up at Chu Yunsheng, and said with a sense of superiority, "Answer the question! Do you still want to enter our Indian city!? "
Chu Yunsheng was a little amused by him. It was just a mud wall that could be destroyed with a few kicks, but he actually dared to call it a "city". It didn't matter if he didn't enter such a city. Anyway, when the Blood Cavalry came, he could see it from the outside, and those people wearing clothes couldn't just come out, right? He would always be able to find a time to trade, and if it didn't work, it would not be difficult to sneak in at night.
Seeing that Chu Yunsheng was about to turn away, the middle-aged Indian man shook his mustache, grabbed Chu Yunsheng's arm, and said in a commanding tone, "Don't you know the rules here? The supplies in your backpack must be handed over to the official management of our Indian camp. Everyone here must abide by the rules. "
Chu Yunsheng's eyes darkened. This was the second time someone wanted his backpack. He said coldly, "I don't seem to have any business if I don't enter your Indian city, right?"
The middle-aged Indian man said arrogantly, "Even if you don't enter the city, you have enjoyed the resources of our Indian city outside the city. According to the temporary system, you must also hand over the controlled private supplies, such as food and medicine, and then we will distribute them to you."
Chu Yunsheng turned around and was amused by his magical request again. He sneered and said, "What if I don't give it to you?"
The Indian man glanced at Chu Yunsheng coldly, as if he was very disdainful of Chu Yunsheng's disobedient attitude. He waved to the three Indian soldiers with guns at the door and said coldly, "Sir, you have to know that now is the period of war control. If you violate the control regulations, I think we have the right to enforce it. If you resist, we even have the right to shoot."
From the looks of it, they had to change to robbery. Thinking about it, whether it was the Chinese, the Japanese, or even the Americans, in the current situation, they had no choice but to yield to the authority of their military force. Not to mention handing over all their personal goods, even if they were to order people around like mules, such as going to reinforce the city under the scorching sun, they had no choice but to obey. After all, they were too powerful. They were under the eaves and needed the protection of the Indians, so they had no choice but to bow their heads.
Perhaps the Indians in the city would be first-class citizens, and the people from other countries who came to seek refuge would be second-class or third-class citizens. In the face of the gun pointing at the private property of non-Indian people, probably no one would dare to resist.
No wonder the inspector at the entrance always had a condescending look on his face and a sense of superiority.
But Chu Yunsheng was not one of those refugees who would let themselves be slaughtered by them. If he was really angered, he would just fight with the Indian army, and he would not even know who would die in the end!
His brows immediately sank, and he was about to make a move to deter those few Indian soldiers.
At this time, He Xiaoning, who had been inquiring about the news, hurriedly caught up. When she saw several Indian soldiers holding guns and walking towards Chu Yunsheng, she was instantly frightened. She hurriedly stepped forward to stop Chu Yunsheng and apologized to the middle-aged Indian man, "I'm sorry, we really don't know the rules here, please forgive us."
She knew that Chu Yunsheng had some ability, but she didn't know how powerful Chu Yunsheng was. When he was at the pig-headed monster's place, Chu Yunsheng did not have a direct conflict with the pig-headed monster. He Xiaoning instinctively believed that people were still not comparable to bullets. If he angered the Indian soldiers, and the soldiers really opened fire, Chu Yunsheng might be killed on the spot.
Chu Yunsheng had saved her, so He Xiaoning did not want such a thing to happen. She could also see that Chu Yunsheng's ability to "communicate" with people was indeed very weak, and he was even careless and impatient.
The Indian man, the inspector at the entrance of Gate 3, glanced at He Xiaoning, who seemed to know the rules very well, and said lightly, "then hand over the things."
He Xiaoning immediately took out a bag of indigenous food from her backpack, and before the three soldiers approached, she secretly stuffed it into their hands, and whispered in English that was not fluent, "if you let us in, we are willing to thank you in a private way."
Bribery was not only prevalent in China, but also in India. As a civilian policewoman, she was also very familiar with the rules in this regard.
The inspector snorted coldly, showing a look that said, "if you had been so sensible earlier, everything would have been fine."
However, he still put on a serious look and deliberately said loudly, "since there is not food and medicine in the bag, then you can go in."
In fact, he did not want to confiscate the things in these two big backpacks. Looking at Chu Yunsheng and He Xiaoning, two foreigners who looked harmless to humans and animals, he had an even greedier plan in his mind. Those were two big backpacks. Now that they lacked medical care and food, they were worth a lot of money. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. "Idiot, if you don't enter the city, I really won't dare to go out of the city at night to find trouble with you. But now that you have entered the city, it means that you have sent yourself to me. Then these things are all mine!"
In his opinion, bullying or killing a foreigner in distress was really not a big deal in the Indian camp today.
He turned around and gave the three soldiers a look. He was thinking about choosing a suitable time to secretly make his move. Look at that Chinese woman. She's also quite pretty. Should I go with my brothers and have a round with her tonight? Entertainment? The night here was very boring.
But what made him a little shocked and angry was that when Chu Yunsheng walked towards the door, Chu Yunsheng actually reached out his hand and took the bag of food from his arms. Then, without looking at him, Chu Yunsheng just walked into the room!
The Indian inspector's face suddenly became gloomy. He had already said loudly just now that Chu Yunsheng's backpack was not food and medicine, so he couldn't change his words immediately. Moreover, he still wanted to embezzle it. His eyes gradually became cold, and he pulled a few soldiers who were preparing to teach Chu Yunsheng a lesson and said in a low voice, "don't do it now, wait until tonight …"
