Chapter 68 Bonfire
...
Xie Yuan took the reins and turned the horse's head, looking at the tall soldier holding a broadsword.
The soldier also looked at him, looking at this young man who clearly looked like a teenager, but his posture on the horse and the posture of holding the sword were not much different from that of an experienced cavalryman.
How is this possible?
The dim light in the sky gradually turned blood red, and the sun was below the horizon, leaving a layer of dark light with a hint of red in the sky and the earth, reflecting Xie Yuan's figure on horseback into a silhouette as powerful as a rainbow.
Although, compared with the horse, his size is obviously immature and weak.
Looking at this scene, the tall soldier suddenly felt that it was extremely ridiculous, and a terrible thought flashed through his mind: He had eaten the flesh of his life-and-death companion, and God had sent down a demonic barrier to punish him.
Seeing the man and horse formed by the demonic barrier rushing towards him, he subconsciously made a last-ditch effort, picked up the big knife in his hand, raised it over his head with his backhand, and threw it towards the black shadow!
But since it was a demonic barrier, how could he be able to stab him to death? I saw the figure's thin arm swinging from left to right, and the big knife was blocked, and flew out diagonally with greater force, "Duo"
It was inserted into the soil with a sound, and landed right next to the mutilated, headless body.
When he turned his gaze back, the black shadow's knife had already come down and hit his neck...
Before dying in severe pain, the tall soldier who had always been fearless finally came to regret his evil deeds:
It turns out that people who eat people will really be punished...
…
…
The sky was getting dark so fast in the summer, and the light of the bonfire behind her was still burning. It was a little far away from her, and she could no longer see clearly the appearance of the person she chopped.
Her hands were shaking a little, her chest was heaving violently, and her heart was beating like a drumstick against her head.
A gust of night wind blew over, causing the cold sweat on her body to cool down, making her shiver from the cold. In the darkness, Xie Yuan suddenly remembered an afternoon when she was practicing swordplay at Shen's house.
At that time, the evening sun was very warm. She wielded the knife and practiced sparring with her master again and again, trying to get her head and strength right.
Master could block her every time, as easily as playing house. But every time he blocked her, he would happily shout "Hello" for her, which seemed to be even happier than if he couldn't block her.
"Our Yuan'er is good! We are bold, careful, and hard-working. If we go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, we will definitely be able to kill the enemy to the point of being frightened and leaving no trace of armor behind!" the master said as he put away the wooden sword in his hand.
The master was illiterate, so he learned everything he heard. He knew a few idioms, and they were all related to war. Now he was able to speak them successfully.
She suddenly thought of the scene on the battlefield and asked: "Master...are you afraid when you kill someone?"
The smile on Master Shen Qingzhi's face gradually disappeared. Looking at her expression, she suddenly looked a little like guilt and regret, and said:
"Silly boy... When you are killing enemies on the battlefield, there is no time for you to be afraid. Either you die or I die. Only after you survive will you know how to be afraid."
Yes, only those who survive will have the opportunity to know fear.
Xie Yuan finally understood the meaning of this sentence deeply at this time. She had just killed someone. When she killed, her mind was filled with predictions of danger, whether it was her actions or whether every moment she swung the knife was accurate enough. How could there be time to be afraid of killing someone?
?She was just afraid of being killed.
But now the person who wanted to kill her is dead... The surroundings are deserted and desolate, and she is the only one with the dead body...
A gust of evening wind blew over again, and the tall grass rustled, as if some danger was approaching.
Xie Yuan pursed his lips in the darkness, sheathed his sword, tightened the reins and returned to the bonfire. He dismounted and threw the firewood piled aside into the almost exhausted fire.
The hand holding the grill on the fire came into her eyes clearly. The fingers were twisted and curled up in a ball in a weird way. Xie Yuan froze while bending over to add firewood, and then he lay on the ground and vomited.
stand up.
"vomit~" She was still vomiting something in her already empty stomach, but she kept vomiting acidic water... Her stomach and throat were burning and hurting from vomiting, and she still couldn't stop, with painful tears and snot in her nose.
Flow down together.
Xie Yuan felt like he was going to die... He had never felt so uncomfortable since he was a child.
A picture flashed through her mind. Her body, which had not grown up, was lying in the desolation, becoming food for wild dogs...
This outcome is too cruel.
Xie Yuanqiang cheered up, resisted the desire to retching, raised his foot and kicked out the things on the bonfire next to him. The force was so strong that the flames of the bonfire were deflected and sparks were thrown.
.
She raised her sleeves and wiped her miserable face, and finally sat down facing the bonfire.
The fire was crackling with firewood, and sparks were dancing in the darkness. Xie Yuan couldn't help but think of the soft bed at home, and the cozy roof with her parents and a large family that made people feel safe.
She suddenly felt very homesick and regretted her decision to run away. Then she hugged her knees and cried "woo woo woo" in the dark night.
At this time, Shen Liuzhen was also trembling in an unfamiliar environment...
He has always been a lazy and squeamish person. Today, he rode silently with the army for a day. He felt that the skin on his thighs was torn, and it felt sticky and painful when rubbed against the fabric, but he did not dare to complain at all.
.
Most of the soldiers in the army are barbarians. A child with a face like his can tell the difference at a glance. Everyone looks at him with obvious rejection and resistance, as if there is something wrong with him.
It can arouse the excitement of the crowd.
Of course, even if there is nothing wrong, I will be looked down upon...
Shen Liuzhen let himself curl up into a ball, pretending not to be able to see those eyes, and just stared at the bonfire in front of him and swallowed his saliva.
He was hungry and had not eaten supper yet. Liu Qinbing who was following him wanted to take out shortbread cookies from his bag, but Shen Liuzhen stopped him with quick eyes and hands.
The shortbread was arranged by Mrs.
But how can the food eaten during the march and war be so exquisite? It is all unground corn, with a bit of meaty foam that is neither salty nor bland.
Now he is setting up camp, with many people gathered around a bonfire, and so many eyes watching him. If he dares to take out such snacks and eat alone in front of everyone, he will definitely be resented by these aliens...
But if you want to share it to gain some favor, the quantity of those shortcakes is too small...
Shen Liuzhen pressed Liu Qinbing's hand with one hand to prevent him from taking it out. While looking at the fire in front of him, he thought about how to find a reliable thigh among this group of enemies.
He was still young and didn't want to die in a mistake in a soldier's fight... His death would be in vain. With his status, it is estimated that Wei Emperor Shi Yu Foli would not even bother to punish the murderer and give the teacher a comfort...
But... which thigh can he hug and is high enough?
