As night fell, the townspeople returned to their residences. Those who owned houses closed their doors tightly, while those who lived in shacks covered their doors tightly with their curtains.
When they returned at night, Ren Xiaosu even heard that a man who had just gotten off work from the rubber factory was stabbed to death in the middle of the night. It was said that someone had malicious intentions after finding out that the man had a habit of saving money.
The townspeople liked to live together. Friends, brothers, and lovers would live together and take turns keeping watch at night. It seemed like it would be safer this way. Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan had been living together like this since the beginning.
However, there were also some people who were harmed by the people they lived with.
The perpetrators were usually short-sighted. What they did not know was that after they harmed their companions, no one would believe them anymore.
Under normal circumstances, a lone perpetrator would not have a good ending.
Ren Xiaosu sat in his shack and untied the bandage on his wound. He frowned when he saw the condition of the wound. It was red and swollen around the wound, a sign of inflammation. When he looked up and saw Yan Liuyuan walking over, he quickly rewrapped the bandage.
"Bro, is your wound alright?" Yan Liuyuan asked.
"It's fine," Ren Xiaosu said calmly.
"I don't believe you. Let me have a look," Yan Liuyuan said as he tried to untie the bandage that Ren Xiaosu had rewrapped.
"If I say it's fine, it means it's fine." Ren Xiaosu pushed Yan Liuyuan away. "If something happens, I'll go buy some medicine."
"Don't lie to me. You tried to hold on the last time," Yan Liuyuan said aggrievedly.
Ren Xiaosu sighed. "Don't worry, I won't joke around with my life."
In the animal world, wild animals usually did not hunt easily because they understood one thing. They could die if they got injured, even if it was a minor injury.
Even wild animals understood this, so how could Ren Xiaosu not?
"Hey, brother, look, there are two potatoes and three pills hidden under the chair. Are these the anti-inflammatory drugs you wanted to buy today? It looks the same. "Yan Liuyuan said in surprise," Did you put it there? "
"I didn't put them there." Ren Xiaosu shook his head and sized up the three pills. "They are indeed ordinary anti-inflammatory drugs."
"Then it must be Sister Xiaoyu who put it there. I only told her that you were injured." Yan Liuyuan smiled and handed one to Ren Xiaosu. "Sister Xiaoyu is so good to you. Why don't you follow her?"
Ren Xiaosu almost vomited blood. "You really change your face faster than flipping a book. You praise me when there's food, but bully me when there's nothing to eat."
"Hehe." Yan Liuyuan started munching on the potatoes. The two of them usually did not eat at night. Ren Xiaosu said that they had to eat well in the morning and fill their stomachs in the afternoon. Eating at night was not good for their health.
This was a saying that had been passed down since before The Cataclysm. Actually, Ren Xiaosu understood that people did not eat at night because they were poor.
"Brother."
Ren Xiaosu turned around and suddenly saw Yan Liuyuan with his head lowered. His voice was also a little low. He asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"Do you remember that when you were attacked by the wolves last year, someone secretly gave us a few pills to help you survive?" Yan Liuyuan asked.
"I remember. I've been looking for this person," Ren Xiaosu said.
"Those pills were probably given by Sister Xiaoyu as well." Yan Liuyuan said, "At that time, the place where the pills were placed was exactly the same as today."
Ren Xiaosu fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu heard footsteps coming from outside.
There were a lot of people.
It was very rare to see people walking on the streets of town at night. However, Ren Xiaosu quickly guessed who they were and what they were here for.
…
The band had to travel through the Jing Mountains this time because, just as Ren Xiaosu had expected, the mercenaries did indeed have another mission. For example, the ruler of Stronghold 113 had found some information that proved the Jing Mountains were actually a mountain range formed after the earth's crust moved violently. There might still be some things left behind from before The Cataclysm.
The group of them had learned about Ren Xiaosu from Old Wang of the grocery store. Although they were still doubtful that Ren Xiaosu was sick in the head, they asked some more people about him. It seemed like everyone thought Ren Xiaosu was the best choice for them to choose as a guide.
Some people even wondered what was so special about this young man named Ren Xiaosu that he was actually a famous person in town?
Out of curiosity, they kept asking and finally received an uncertain answer. Ren Xiaosu seemed to be the only person in town who had encountered a wolf pack and returned alive.
Last year, when Ren Xiaosu returned to town after hunting, he was already at the end of his rope. There were even bloodstains on his body from the claws of the wolves.
No matter how vicious the people in town were, they would not do anything to a young man who was about to die. Everyone just watched coldly from the sidelines.
But just when everyone thought Ren Xiaosu would definitely die, he somehow managed to survive. In fact, he was even doing very well now.
When the band members asked how the young man survived, Old Wang said with a smile that it was all thanks to Yan Liuyuan going door to door on his knees and begging for food. In the end, he really survived. It seemed like someone had even given him some pills, but no one knew who it was.
However, everyone in town knew that Ren Xiaosu had survived. But from then on, he was left with a lingering illness in his mind.
"By the way, Wang Fugui." One of the people in the group said to Old Wang, who was accompanying them, "What do you mean when you said he's mentally ill?"
"It's nothing, it's just a passing remark." Old Wang said with a smile, the wrinkles on his face scrunched up together. "It's not a big deal. His illness isn't serious. Look, it's just up ahead. "
Old Wang only dared to go out at night when he was with these dignitaries who came from the stronghold. At this moment, he deliberately raised his voice as though he wanted everyone in town to know that he, Old Wang, was on good terms with these dignitaries from the stronghold.
"Xiaosu, hurry up and come out. We have a distinguished guest," Old Wang shouted with a smile.
Suddenly, the curtain of the shack was flung open.
Ren Xiaosu happily shook Old Wang's hand and said to him, "Congratulations, your father and son are safe and sound! Six pounds! "
Old Wang was speechless.
The band was speechless.
And the mercenaries were speechless.
The band members pointed at Ren Xiaosu and looked at Old Wang. "He's already this sick, and you call that fucking fine?!
Also, what the hell was' father and son safe and sound '? Weren't mother and son safe and sound?!
The band member snapped, "Wang Fugui, do you know the consequences of lying to us? Is this what you mean by fine? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the band member turned around and left. They were still looking forward to seeing the legendary Ren Xiaosu, but in the end, they ended up encountering a mental patient.
It was no wonder everyone in town said that Ren Xiaosu was mentally ill. Wasn't he mentally ill?
