girl riding a horse

Chapter 74
Everyone looked at Lao Fang, their faces turned pale under the warm firelight, especially Xie Yuan, who wanted to vomit again after hearing what he said, but she couldn't even spit out the water in her stomach, so she could only cover her mouth with the back of her hand Retching...

Lao Fang looked at her and said kindly: "Don't worry, there are only a few people in this world who can ruthlessly eat human flesh. You are still young, and this is the only thing you can do?... Haven't eaten for a few days?"

"I haven't eaten since I left home... two days." Xie Yuan said weakly.

"Yo... really able to resist." The gang leader with a dimpled face said, "I haven't eaten for two days, and I can still be so energetic, dancing with a spear, much better than ordinary people."

"Eat." Lao Fang glanced at the half cake she had been holding in her hand, "Idiot, get him a bowl, scoop some boiling water to soak, and eat less first." the young man.

"Why do you still order me? Didn't it mean that whoever is the youngest should work more? Now he is the youngest." The fool pointed at Xie Yuan.

But as soon as the arm was raised, it was photographed by Lao Fang and said:
"Respect the old and love the young, do you understand?! You have to fight with a doll. You are eighteen, not eight! Hurry up!" After saying that, he kicked him.

The young man named Lengzi went there reluctantly, took a bowl from the basket, scooped up some hot water and handed it to Xie Yuan's hand in an orderly manner.

Xie Yuan felt that he couldn't eat it at all, but he still took it and thanked the stunned man.

Who of these people usually say "thank you"?So he looked at Xie Yuan with a little surprise.

Especially the idiot, who was a little flustered by the thanks, smiled foolishly, and stumbled when he returned to his place.

No matter how uneducated or rough a person is, as long as he is a human being, he will like the feeling of being respected, not to mention that Xie Yuan looks like a child of a family, which makes people feel at ease.

So they all opened their eyes wide, waiting for her to eat with concern.

Xie Yuan dipped the pancake into the bowl of smoking water, and the hard and dry corner began to grow slowly in the water. She endured disgusting tears and stuffed the soft and soaked corner into her mouth... just now After chewing for three times, that picture appeared in my mind again, and then I vomited violently, because the movement was too wide, even half of the water in her hand was thrown out.

Lao Fang brought her bowl over, frowned and said worriedly, "Be good...what's wrong with this."

The gang leader has been watching from the sidelines, took a bite of the dry biscuit in his hand, and said with a sneer:
"You still join the army like this?! If you want me to say, you might as well die directly, and it's better than starving to death slowly."

These words were really harsh, but it was not over yet, he directly pulled out a dagger wrapped around his leg, threw it in front of Xie Yuan's eyes, and said:

"Hurry up and choose one. You can wipe your neck happily, or you can find a way to eat it yourself, so as not to drag us down!"

The rest of the soldiers looked surprised, but they didn't dare to say anything. Only Lao Fang murmured: "You...you have gone too far..."

Xie Yuan looked at the point of the knife gleaming with cold light on the ground, and the fear of death completely overwhelmed her... Yes, if this continues, she will undoubtedly die, or die in a tortured way.

She can't die.

So he gritted his teeth, tore off a mouthful of the pancake, threw it into his mouth and swallowed it, reached out to take the bowl of water in Lao Fang's hand, put it into his mouth, and swallowed it directly with his neck up.

All around fell silent, watching her silently.

Xie Yuan stared at the void with staring eyes, and that scorched black curly hand appeared in his mind again.Her chest bulged and she almost threw up again, but she clenched her teeth and forced herself to look at the hand.Then I kept saying silently in my heart: this is nothing... this is nothing...

I just recited it silently several times, forcing myself to look directly at this cruelty, and then kept instilling in myself the feeling of not caring.

Finally... she didn't vomit anymore. Although she still felt sick, at least she could bear it.

"Oh...that's right, that's right." Lao Fang was very happy to see her like this, and the two raised white hairs in his beard trembled in the wind, and said, "My baby is promising... I have endured it." Enough."

The gang leader also showed a little smile, and stretched out his hand, and Lao Fang quickly picked up his dagger, handed it to him, and boasted:

"Hey, you are indeed an official, better than us, isn't it?"

"Yes yes yes... the gang leader is mighty! Hehe..." The people in the same gang all echoed and laughed.

Xie Yuan was also a little happy. Looking at these people, she suddenly understood why they could be "indifferent" amidst the tragedy, and why they could easily talk and laugh in such an environment.

——I can only force myself not to care, otherwise, how can I live...

At night they pitched tents to sleep, five of them squeezed into one tent, each of them smelled bloody.

But Xie Yuan felt unusually at ease. She had a roof to shelter her head from the wind and rain, and was surrounded by a group of living people. She was no longer guarding the three corpses by herself, staring at the unknown darkness with her eyes open.

After two days of being hungry and sleepy, she finally relaxed and fell asleep.

The next day, Xie Yuan suddenly woke up from his sleep and looked around nervously, only to realize that he was not alone in falling asleep in the barren darkness.

Lao Fang was awakened by Xie Yuan's movement, sat up in a daze, and said, "Yo... the baby can suffer, and woke up so early?"

Without waiting for Xie Yuan to answer, he quickly patted the idiot on the other side and said, "Get up quickly! We have to go back to the camp after tidying up the tent!" Then he yawned, "Baby... you Follow the idiot to learn how to take down the curtains, and I'll go take a pee."

Then he walked out.

Xie Yuan's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the word camp, and he chased the fool and asked, "Camp? Is it far from here? Who is leading the army?"

The fool was stopped by the question, looked at her and said:

"How would I know? We are just burying corpses and doing odd jobs at the back of the army. We can do whatever we are asked to do. The biggest official, I only know the leader... Oh, there is also a corporal leader. Didn't he die yesterday?"

Xie Yuan was also dumbfounded when he heard it. A soldier in a team doesn't know who the general on his head is?Don't you know whose surname you held up the handsome flag?

Xie Yuan suddenly felt that the stories and things the master told her back then seemed to be inconsistent with the reality, and he couldn't find it for a while...

Otherwise, is it the nickname of fool? ... She looked at the young man who was putting on shoes, and felt that he was quite normal, and he could still read according to the voice yesterday... Could it be that there is something wrong with him?

So Xie Yuan didn't say anything more, and while helping to dismantle the tent, he waited for Lao Fang to come back.

In the end, after asking Lao Fang, I found out...the battle they fought with the Beiyi people was so chaotic and miserable...
