Chapter 56? People from the library are all ruthless
There are not many dogs in Saibei Wasteland, but there are many grass wolves. From time to time, news of the death of travelers who have been taken away and eaten by grass wolves has reached Mucheng, and people have become accustomed to it. Since the last time he ate dog meat, Zhang Xiaowu felt that the dog meat was really good.
Eat, but dogs are so cute, how can they eat dogs? So Zhang Xiaowu took a bow and arrow and prepared to hunt wolves in the surrounding wilderness and come back to eat the meat.
Hunting alone is naturally lonely, and Xiao Kai was originally a good archer, but he was forced to give up archery because his right eye was injured and he could not aim. In order to encourage him to regain his confidence, Zhang Xiaowu gave him an idea and asked him to change his archery.
The method was changed from shooting with the right hand and aiming with the right eye to shooting with the left hand and aiming with the left hand. Although changing the archery method was awkward for a while, Xiao Kai's archery experience was still there. As long as he practiced more, he would naturally be able to pick up the art of archery again.
Xiao Kai was a little tempted by this idea, and after thinking about it for a while, he happily accepted it, and followed Zhang Xiaowu to the wilderness to shoot wolves. However, the grass wolf was extremely cunning, and immediately fled when they saw the humans carrying bows and arrows, so the two of them failed to hunt the grass wolf.
Instead, we hunted a few hares and yellow sheep, and improved the food for the sergeants. Everyone could also drink more broth on weekdays, and the sergeants had something to eat every day.
The smell of oil in the mouth naturally makes the body stronger, and the few soldiers who were originally sick also regained their strength. The sergeants naturally knew who was good to them and who was bad to them. Although Zhang Xiaowu was strict and not angry, he led
The confidence given to the soldiers of Yizhuang made Yizhuang no longer lifeless. A few laughs could be heard from time to time. It was no longer an ominous place for the dead.
Ever since he hunted several game animals, Zhang Xiaowu's addiction to hunting and practicing archery became out of control, just like his addiction to fishing in later generations. Every time he didn't hunt a few animals, he felt that the whole day was meaningless.
Before his rebirth, Zhang Xiaowu had a childhood addiction to fishing. He would leave work early every day just to fish, and would have to go home at midnight every day. His wife even filed for divorce because he did not take care of the children and did not work well. Later, the friend was taken away by his parents and father-in-law.
The mother-in-law scolded her fiercely and her father smashed all the fishing tools.
He reluctantly gave up the habit of fishing addiction. Zhang Xiaowu didn’t understand why some people became addicted to fishing. But now that he has some addiction to hunting, he understands his friend. But it is obvious that Zhang Xiaowu’s hunting level exceeds his friend’s fishing level. Every time
Every time I would bring back some prey to improve everyone's food, and I even caught a gerbil.
After garrisoning the prisoner camp at Yizhuang, the team became more and more blessed with food. Zhang Xiaowu's shooting skills became better and better, and everyone ate better and better, until one time they hunted a corpse vulture. As a result, the corpse vulture was ruined after being stewed in soup.
A pot of soup, the taste of the corpse vulture is not only unpalatable, it is simply unpalatable. It’s so unpalatable!
After the soldiers drank a few sips of the soup, they almost cried and knelt down to beg for mercy. Zhang Xiaowu felt that the soldiers in the epidemic village had been whetted by him, so he ordered the corpse vulture broth to be distributed to the prisoners. The prisoners ate
After eating the broth, they even cried with excitement, and they all expressed their willingness to stay in the epidemic village and not to go back.
The person who was changed the most by Zhang Xiaowu was not Yizhuang, but Xiao Kai.
After changing his archery posture, Xiao Kai trained diligently on weekdays and became much more enthusiastic and cheerful in his free time. The new archery skills opened a new door for Xiao Kai and allowed him to enter a new world, and his archery skills became even more refined. Even Renying
Gongzhen planned to let Xiao Kai go back, but he refused. He is a person who remembers both gratitude and grudges. He will repay anyone who treats him well a hundredfold, and whoever treats him badly, he will repay a hundredfold.
In the 29th year of Taiqian, there is a leap May, and it is not uncommon for May to come after May. Zhang Xiaowu calculated the days in his mind, and today is the fifteenth of leap May. A month ago, he was the day of his wedding. .
He thought of his young bride Yin Jiu'er, and also thought of the brothers who died in the battle, and his heart became more and more depressed and helpless. He has been thinking about a question these days. Although it was the Inuyi aliens who killed his lord, but the mastermind behind the scenes was Who is it? Is it the prince, the emperor, or some other conspirator? If he wants to thoroughly investigate this matter, he needs to contact more comrades in the 27th Regiment, but there are not many soldiers in the 27th Regiment, and there are still many conspirators. Some of them were broken up and assigned to various regiments of the main force of the Qinglong Army. It was really difficult to find them. So far, the only comrade Zhang Xiaowu had found was Supervisor Wang. In the past few days, he had never met Wang again when he went in and out of Mucheng. Jian, Fengzi camp is a large camp with three thousand people. It is indeed not easy to meet Wang Jian by chance. Not everyone is as free as him.
This freedom is also thanks to Su Yu who sent him to the epidemic village. Others regard the epidemic village as a place of death. That is because they do not pay attention to hygiene, do not understand that diseases require prevention in addition to treatment, and do not have basic medical knowledge. As a 2020 An intellectual who traveled through time, he discovered that much of his knowledge was actually not available in this era.
"What kind of intellectual am I? Are there any intellectuals as bloodthirsty as I am? Librarian - oh, it's tradition." Zhang Xiaowu suddenly thought of a certain legend and laughed, holding a glass of wine and banishing it. We walked to the main entrance of Epidemic Village.
There is a dirt slope outside the main entrance of the epidemic village, about the height of a person. Sitting on the dirt slope, looking to the left, there are grasslands and deserts rising one after another. It has a kind of desolation like a desert with solitary smoke and a long river with a falling sun. Color, and looking to the right, in the distance is the wooden city where only a trace of shadow can be seen.
In the evening over Mucheng, smoke curled up from cooking stoves. It was the time when every household was cooking pots and cooking. It was unknown what kind of food the people were eating now. Zhang Xiaowu felt a little hungry.
Half of the Saibei Wasteland is desert, and the other half is grassland. If you don't walk along the Jialan River in the center of the grassland and enter the desert by mistake, then this may be his final cemetery. The existence of Mucheng is due to an underground river that was accidentally discovered , all people and creatures depend on that underground river for survival, including the grass and trees in the desert that produce mottled scabies.
But here, the sky is blue, a clear blue sky, with goshawks and corpse vultures occasionally flying over, which is a pleasant and beautiful scenery.
Zhang Xiaowu sat on the slope, watching the setting sun. The afterglow of the sun was no longer so hot, and the whole sky was gradually turning red. He took a big sip and sighed in his heart. The wine was not good wine. , is the cheapest sweet potato roast. This kind of wine is very popular on the grassland. It is spicy and very easy to get drunk, but it can make people fall asleep as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, sometimes the more people want to get drunk, the more sober they become. , often people who are least willing to sober up will only magnify their pain and lose hope in the end.
He did not have too deep feelings for this era and this empire. Instead, he valued those who had come into contact and experienced it more. He always felt that there was a kind of "truth" in them that people in modern society did not have.
For example, Jiu'er, her innocence makes Zhang Xiaowu think of one sentence all the time, "I am a member of your Zhang family when I am born, and I am a ghost of your Zhang family when I die." How many modern women can do this? How many modern women can do this?
Can a woman grow up with a man? In his previous life, although he was still unmarried at the age of thirty-four, he had had some girlfriends. Because his parents died young and left him no property, he always talked about marriage.
Some girls who were being k.o. didn't care that he was poor, but the key point was that they asked him to marry into his wife. As a straight man, how could he accept this condition? So he picked and picked, and Zhang Xiaowu was alone until he was thirty-four.
Years old, and then he was hit to death by a high-altitude glass bottle and traveled through time.
"Jiuer, little pepper." Zhang Xiaowu smiled unconsciously.
He suddenly hit his head and said with a smile: "Why did you suddenly think of women? Did you not see women for a long time? This is a problem. Now I am eighteen years old, and it is the time when I am pissed in the wind. At this time, there is no
With the blessing of a woman—will I become bald from holding it back?”
Zhang Xiaowu laughed nervously and said to himself: "Commander, Captain, you two are the best to me. Do you think I should go to the city to find a prostitute to solve the problem?" Another image appeared in front of him.
The faces of Shao Zifu, Chen Tai, Wang Jian and others also appeared as if they were killed. Even Luo Zhen, who would rather die than kneel, clearly appeared in his memory.
"Grandma is a jerk. A good memory is a burden." Zhang Xiaowu took another sip of wine and hit his head for the third time. The memory of young people is better than that of older people. The names and faces of those people
, as if he could appear in front of him at any time whenever he wanted to see it.
He spilled the next sip of wine on the ground and said: "Commander, captain, brothers, I respect you all for this sip. I will wash away and complete your grievances and hatred for you." Zhang Xiaowu's eyes were slightly red and swollen.
He lay down. The sand on the ground was very warm, but it still couldn't warm the sadness in his heart. "Although I am just a time traveler, and although I have only been with you for two months, you and I are one. We are one."
The Seventeenth Regiment will always be together."
Hu Sanwan came over from a distance carrying a pot of meat. These were the two wild rabbits Zhang Xiaowu had hunted during the day. He knew that Zhang Xiaowu must be missing his comrade Pao Ze, so he sighed and put the hare meat next to him.
Turn around to leave.
Zhang Xiaowu sat up and waved to him to stay. Hu Sanwan sat next to him. Zhang Xiaowu asked, "Do you still blame me for bringing you to the epidemic village?"
Hu Sanwan thought about it carefully and said with a smile: "Sir, I resented you before, but now I thank you."
"Why?"
"Because there are far more people dying in the prison camp than in the epidemic village." Hu Sanwan said, "In these days, no sick prisoners have died, but they have recovered a lot. And I heard that in the prison camp prison in the city,
One or two corpses are carried out every day, either killed in a fight or by suicide. Now, after a comparison, we can see that the prison camp is an endless hell, while this epidemic village is actually the human world."
Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said: "Diseases may not kill people. People are the biggest cause of human death. People can defeat diseases by relying on their own will and body. But human life sometimes does not rely on one's own will.
.”
Hu Sanwan felt half-understood, but at the same time he felt that what he said made sense. Aren't ordinary people just playthings in the hands of the powerful?
