Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

He has a knife in his left hand and a prosthetic in his right.So he blocked the enemy's attack with a knife in his left hand, and knocked the man's face crookedly with a punch in his right hand.Then he manipulated the metal with his mind, and instantly grabbed the weapons of the two. "Stop," said Razor. "I'm not here to kill."

There was screaming in the room, and someone yelled, "Magic! Witchcraft!"

The enemy's weapon was suspended in the air, and the razor released the power, and the knife fell to the ground with a clang.The two attackers rolled and crawled in fright.

Razor looked at the whole big house, looked at the scene in front of him, and thought to himself: This village has packed everyone in this room.

Hundreds of people were crowded in the hall.People gathered around two piles of charcoal fires, and many of them didn't have thick clothes, so they stuck together to keep each other warm with their body heat.Many people were sick, and the air was filled with various smells, sour, foul, pungent smell of charcoal fire...

The men held weapons, their hands trembling.Old people, children, women, and the sick looked at the razor with frightened eyes.A child was about to cry when his mother covered his mouth.

The atmosphere was deadlocked for a few more seconds. At this time, a strong man stood up abruptly and said, "Let's go! There is nothing for you here!"

"I don't intend to take anything with me, I just need some..." He looked at these skinny people, "I don't think you have any extra food, right?"

An old man with a gray beard stood up and said, "You are right, sir. This year was a disaster, and the village didn't have much harvest. Now it's so big..." He thought for a while before spelling out the word, "Snow."

Razor felt the gaze behind him. Two of his servants were watching him.Razor thought for a while and said, "I still need to hire some people. Which of you would like to come with me?"

"Have you got something to eat?" a bearded man called.

Razor said: "Enough for three days."

The bearded man shook his head and said, "That's not enough, what will we do after three days?"

"We will arrive at Black-clothed Mountain in three days. At that time..." Razor stopped in the middle of speaking, and he suddenly thought: What should I do if I can't get supplies from Black-clothed Mountain?And in this kind of weather, can you reach Heiyi Mountain in three days?He remembered that the herb witch told him: "From Hummingbird City to Black Mountain, ride for two days and walk for three days, and you will be able to see it in the second dusk."

"At that time, I will starve to death." The man said and retreated from the crowd.The child began to cry, but no one covered his mouth this time.

"I'll pay you," said Razor.

Another fat man came out from the crowd, he was wearing the thickest clothes and his appearance was fairly neat. "If coins could be eaten, I would have already filled my stomach with money!" He said to the razor, "It is reasonable to say that it is the beginning of spring, the grass outside should grow, and the wolf flowers and grasses should also bloom. But now ..." He let out a few sobs, "No one knows how long the snow will fall! If the winter continues, what should we do? Tomorrow we will burn other houses, and we still have firewood; but the food won't last long , what to do? What can we do?"

Despair spread through the crowd, which soon turned into cries.Razor hated the sound and yelled, "Shut up!"

Finally the old man said: "Sir, we really have nothing to give you. We are all waiting to die here. The seven hunters went out for three days, not to mention the prey, and now none of them has returned; when we were warming up last night We burned the last bit of charcoal, and the next thing is to tear down the house to burn it. We have no clothes, and many people catch the cold..." He could not continue, and people began to sob.

Razor hates this kind of pessimism and despair. He said: "I need four people! You are waiting to die here. If you follow me, there may be a chance of survival. Whoever has the guts to follow me?"

The crowd was silent for a while, and after a while, the strong man stood up first and said, "I'll go with you!" Then several people stood up and asked to join the razor.Razor chose a few that looked good, and said to his former servant: "You two go back to Hummingbird City, I don't need you anymore."

He believed in the new servants more than the old servants, because the former two were only doing what they were told, while the new four were doing it to survive.This is different.

After hiring new servants, he decided to spend the night in the village.He distributed the food to the newcomers and kept them well fed.

"From Hummingbird City to Black Mountain, ride for two days, walk for three days, and you will be able to see it in the second dusk." ——he remembered the words of the Herb Witch.It's the second day now, and if all goes well, it will take another two days.Last night, Netwig had a high fever, and she was lying in Razor's arms and talking nonsense.Razor gave her a medicine prepared by Isrit, but it had little effect.They slept together at night, and Razor didn't want to leave Netway all day.

He didn't know how the relationship between the two became like this.He and Netway were enemies at first, but later they were companions... Gradually, he discovered that he and Netway had too much in common.He remembered that Netway had said to him when he had just left the Temple of the Queen of Worms: Now we are the same kind of people.

Indeed, they have the same blood flowing in their bodies, are equally powerful but are also tortured by fate.

When he thought of this, he suddenly realized: I know almost nothing about Netway's past.How on earth did she become a fierce warrior?What is the relationship between Dara Kasha and her?What about the sect of the ancient gods and the temple of the Queen of Worms?

Sooner or later I'm going to figure this all out.

He was on the road at first light, and the snow stopped today, which is a good sign.

A group of people left the village, this time the servants were all locals, and two of them were familiar with the road.Someone led the way, and this time they avoided a lot of detours.The wind is still icy, but fortunately the sun is shining.The sky is blue and white, the air is fresh, and Razor's mood is a little better.The most important thing is that Netway's fever has subsided, and her breathing has also stabilized.

On the way, several servants asked him why he ventured out in this weather.Razor picked up the part that could be said and told them, explaining the reason of the matter.After hearing about the blister flower and the black mountain, one of them said to him, "My lord, I have never heard of any flowers there. I am an older brother who runs a herbal business, and he always supplies witches."

"Perhaps some very rare flower," Razor said to him.

"I hope you can find it," said the man.

They had nothing to say along the way, and they drove all day in the snow. After that, the group stayed in the wild hunter's lodge for one night, and then continued to set off the next day.Netwig's condition was good and bad, and Razor kept her company, whispering to her at night, hoping to wake her up.

The third day arrived, and it stands to reason that they should see the Black Mountain.But all Razor saw was white snow and dead woods hung with snow.

"From Hummingbird City to Black-clothed Mountain, ride for two days and walk for three days, and you will be able to see it in the second dusk." He remembered that sentence again.

His servant told him that he would have to go at least another day, and quickly.Because their food will be gone soon, and there is no place to stay in this area.

Razor also knows the urgency.Although it hasn't snowed in the past two days, the cold wind is still eroding their physical strength.A person who came with him was already dying, his ears were obviously frostbitten; if he didn't find a warm place, he would probably freeze to death here.Although in Razor's view, Netway's safety is the first, but this does not mean that he will just watch the people in his company die.

So they quickened their pace, and in order to share the pressure with others, Razor carried twice as much luggage as yesterday.The blood of the ferocious demon flowed in his body, and the ice and snow could not easily hurt him.

On the fourth day, they finally saw the Black Mountain.

Now it is more appropriate to call it Baiyi Mountain.

Just like the scenery he had seen before, the black-clothed mountain had turned into a snow-capped mountain.His servant took him to the place where the mountain village used to be, but he didn't see the mountain village, only a piece of white snow.Razor asked if the man had taken the wrong way?The man replied: "My lord, that's right, the village was originally here. I remember this forest and this stone."

But here is a piece of white snow, how can there be any villages?Razor asked people to search around, but he stayed with Netwig.After a while, a servant came back and said, "My lord, there is a tent to the east. There seem to be several people."

"Come on, let's go," said Razor.

Not far away, he saw those tents.These tents are very simple, and they are temporarily sewn with cotton cloth, canvas and various broken steps.Someone inside the tent was groaning in pain, and beside the tent, a woman with a stiff expression was warming to the extinguished coal fire.

Razor walked over and saluted the woman, but the woman still maintained her posture of warming herself, as if she didn't see him.

"Hi, ma'am," Razor said to her.

The woman looked up at him and said nothing.

The woman was out of her mind - Razor could see it in her eyes.

Razor asked her, "Is there a village here?"

"Have."

"where?"

She pointed to a piece of white snow over there, and said, "There."

"where?"

"There, under the snow."

Razor looked blankly at the white snow at the foot of the mountain. It took him a long time to realize, "Is it...under the snow?"

The woman nodded numbly, and said: "A few days ago, there was a roar on the mountain, and then the snow collapsed. The snow rushed down from the mountain and buried the village. My son and my husband were buried there." She rubbed He rubbed his palms together, "It's so cold, why isn't the fire warm?"

"The fire is long gone," said Razor.

"Oh." She nodded, "Then let me freeze to death."

Well now, the village is gone, Razor thought to himself, where am I going to find Blisters?I don't even have a place to stay tonight!

Razor lit coals for her with the witchfire seeds he carried with him, and then walked into the tent.As soon as he entered, he found that it was full of people lying in disorder.He didn't know which was dead and which was alive, but he saw people lying there like dried fish.The servants behind the razor were also silent, and one of them said: "We will become like this sooner or later."

"Being like this to die? Impossible." Razor said, "Let's leave here and find another place to stay."

"We've run out of food," said the servant.

"I'll figure it out," said Razor.

"Get up, you slackers!" Razor yelled at the slumped men.

Most of the people glanced at him, then remained lying on the ground.Several people sat up and asked him, "Why?"

"Are you waiting here to die?"

"Otherwise?" A black and thin man asked, "Do you have food for us? Or clothes?"

I still want to ask you for it. "I ask you, do you have hunters here?" he asked the man.

The man smiled wryly and said, "I am, what's wrong?"

"Why don't you go hunting?"

The black and thin man's piercing laughter said, "Hahahaha, my lord, have you never been out or seen snow? Go hunting in this horrible weather? Don't even think about coming back after I go out!"

"You're waiting to die here," said Razor. "Tell me where you usually hunt, and I'll get you something to eat."

The man sneered disdainfully.There was a man lying on a blanket at Razor's feet, and he said, "My lord, which line of nobles are you from? Are you here to distribute relief?"

Razor lowered his head and saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He had just grown a little beard on his face, and the childishness between his brows was still intact.Razor said to him: "I am a passing traveler. I came to the mountain to look for something called a bubble flower."

No one answered him.The young man then told him about the hunt, "My lord, if you really want to find something, you can go to the western slopes. I saw a big gray bear there the night before the avalanche. It was very big. The bear should be here now." In hibernation. You can go find it."

"That's Mormont, the mountain god! You little bastard!" the hunter yelled.

"You want me to go hunting for bear meat?" Razor asked him.

The young man said, "No, we never dared to go hunting in that woods because of this raging bear. But there is a lot of game in that woods. I have seen yellow deer and wild boars. And—"

"There is nothing now!" cried the hunter. "It is impossible to hunt in this weather, and the deer and pigs have froze to death long ago!"

"That's hard to say." Razor's old servant said, "Animals are very smart! There was such a heavy snow 20 years ago, I thought they would all freeze to death, but in the spring, roe deer ran all over the place , Rabbits crawl everywhere!"

Razor said, "Stay all of you, my servants, and make fires and hot water. I will meet the bear in the woods."

"You're courting death," said the thin black hunter.

"You're looking for death if you talk to me like this." Razor raised the knife in his hand, and a bunch of hunter's hair fell out.After he retracted the knife, the hair slowly fell to the ground.The hunter looked at him with his mouth wide open, waited for three seconds, then bent his legs like cooked noodles and knelt on the ground.

"Wait for me here." Razor said and walked out alone. Before leaving, he turned around and said, "By the way, take care of my friend." He pointed to Netwig and said, "If she loses a hair, I will Let all of you be buried with us." After saying this, he left in a dead silence.

He can even hunt and kill fierce monsters, let alone a big bear?

It was about three o'clock in the afternoon when he left, and the sun was still overhead at this time.Razor raced against time and finished before the sun went down - he found the big bear in the woods, and they dueled like men.The razor killed the bear and, by the way, a deer.But his hands were inconvenient to carry these corpses, so he ran back to the tent and said to those people: "Come and carry the prey with me, I will kill the mountain god."

When he said this, the people in the village were warming up around the campfire.The woman was crying and several men were arguing loudly.Razor said that no one noticed him the first time, so he roared: "Some people help! Do you still want to fill your stomach?"

The servant he hired ran over, and then the village elder stood up and said, "Did you really kill the bear?"

"You'll be able to eat it in a while."

The elder ordered the villagers who still had strength to help.Razor set off with people, and those people walked very slowly one by one, so he forced them to run with a knife.Soon, they came to the woods.The people screamed at the sight of the bear and deer carcasses, and the black and thin hunter screamed in ecstasy, and then ran up to embrace the bear carcass; others also shouted excitedly.

Everyone rushed to carry the prey back. At the tent, the women had already set up a fire and a cauldron waiting for them.

Razor ate bear meat for the first time. It was greasy, fishy and sour, but the large pieces of meat were enough to replenish his strength and help him keep out the cold.He has the right to divide the meat, he leaves the large pieces of meat to his subordinates, and then takes the roasted venison with him as luggage.The rest of the meat is left for the villagers.He also told the hunters that there may be other prey in the woods, and you can make clothes out of bear skins and hunt there.

After the meal, the lifeless people in this circle finally regained some energy.Razor asked them at this time: "Who of you knows the herb of blister flower?" Razor saved their lives, and now people are in awe of him.As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, everyone's attention was focused.However, people looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to say anything.Razor asked several times, but still no one spoke.He remembered what the servant had said to him before, and thought to himself: Isn't there any bubble flower here?

Is the witch lying to me?

He didn't dare to forget the bad, because this was the last chance to save Netway.He looked at Netway, who was tightly wrapped in a thick blanket, and thought to himself: If I can't save you, I will...

No, I can definitely save you, I have lost too many things, I can't lose you anymore.

Razor decided to go up the mountain early the next morning.Finding a herb in the white snow-capped mountains is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, but he has to go.There was nothing to say all night, and people who had had enough to eat huddled in tents like sleeping.The fire was burning, and there was a vigil.However, in the middle of the night, the sky began to snow again.The little tent couldn't keep out the wind and snow at all, and it collapsed quickly.Razor sent people away, to the previous bear's cave.

He led the way in the front, facing the storm and snow all the way to the west woods.The woman was holding the child, and the man was carrying the luggage; in the end, there were two elderly people who couldn't walk, so they didn't care.There was darkness in front of them, and the wind and snow were howling. They could not see or hear them, and their cries were drowned in the roar of the wind.

Razor is leading the way with his intuition, he has Netwig behind his back, and he has no control over the others.

By the time we got to the cave, the team had already lost half of its people.A total of seven people were lost, and the heavy snow swept away all traces, and there was no way to find them.

Some people cry in sorrow, but many are weary and unable to cry.Razor made a fire with witchfire seeds, and he placed Netwig by the fire to warm her body quickly.

At this time, Netway suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Nat, I may not have much time."

"Shut up," he said, "I'll kill you if you talk nonsense."

Razor doesn't believe in fate, eight

Razor doesn't believe in fate, eight

A violent snowstorm shut them up in a cave.The snow was bigger than last time, even Razor dared not go out in the snow.

The snow may keep falling, thought Razor, if there is not enough firewood, I will burn the luggage; if there is not enough food, I will eat people.

She and I must live, he thought selfishly, fuck you, no one wants to kill us!Don't even think about it!

He glared at the heavy snow in the sky, and even his phantom limbs were clasped tightly.He imagined the white demon as an enemy and wanted to tear him apart.
