395. Rattlesnake
In the desert far away from the city, a desert jumping mouse smelled the sound of water and came to the middle of two small sand dunes. It didn't know that it had fallen into the trap.
Under the sand, a rattlesnake rushed out, biting the thick jumping rat and swallowing deep into its body.
The jumping rat was still struggling, and the rattlesnake wriggled his throat and squeezed the jumping rat hard. There was obviously a section on its body that became thicker, which was the shape of the jumping rat.
As an animal that can survive in the desert, the rats have strong vitality. The rattlesnake has been tossing for a long time before finally letting the rats turn into liquid in their own body.
...
Lying on the bed, Xia Yi hugged Tufusi, the girl no longer had any strength. She lay on Xia Yi's chest and looked at him dissatisfiedly: "Why are your physical strength so good?"
"Actually, I only have the energy there." Xia Yi smiled badly.
"Don't move, I can't."
The rattlesnake spit out the jumping rat, and the rattlesnake intends to escape.
"Don't come over!" Tufus shrank to the edge of the bed.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you anymore." Hugging Tufusi again, Xia Yi pinched her cheek, "Your voice just now will probably let everyone in your family know. If you call again, someone will come to beat me soon."
"My father and Seth went out, and the remaining slaves heard it when they heard it. What could happen." After observing for a while, when he saw that the jumping mouse had no intention of moving, Tufusi closed his eyes with confidence.
Although Xia Yi was not sleepy, he could lie on the bed with Tufusi in his arms, and there was no reason to let go.
In the evening, the general and Xia Yi's unqualified rival Seth came back. They clamored along the way, awakening Toufus.
If another heroine is fought by Xia Yi like this, she will have to lie on her for at least one day before she can resume normal walking.
But Tufus just frowned, took the cloth on one side and wiped his body, put on his clothes and walked out.
Xia Yi also followed her.
"What's wrong?" the girl asked her father.
"Several guys pounced on their comrades and howled." The general looked angry.
In this city, sacrifice is a matter of glory, so lying on the body of the sacrificed comrades is a blasphemy to the glory of the comrades.
"It's their first time on the battlefield, after all," Seth persuaded, "General, don't blame him too much."
"Why am I harsh on them? Isn't it the first time my Tufusi has been on the battlefield? Did you see that she has cried? Those guys are not even as good as women?"
Realizing that the persuasion was useless, Seth gave up. The general said a few more words, and the four of them had supper together and headed to the central square of the city.
It was a large open space, and when there were major things to be announced, citizens gathered there to listen.
Now, there are soldiers lying there, and they are the soldiers who died in battle.
There are too many corpses and they cannot be buried unless they are buried in the desert. But if the wind blows in the desert for a few days, it is better not to bury the corpse.
So, the warrior's bodies were piled together, with fluffy grass and strong branches on them.
The general picked up the torch and lit the grass.
The huge flames rose, dispelling the surrounding night, and the citizens stood under the flames, the swaying of the flames was like a ritual, and the crackling of the flames was like music.
"They were leaving with glory!" the general said loudly in a hoarse voice.
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his home.
He didn't notice that after he left, as a cry sounded, the square burst into tears.
Xia Yi, who was still in the square, noticed this. He frowned and felt something was wrong, but the crying family seemed to be fine.
After saving a file, Xia Yi returned to the General's Mansion.
The next two days were safe and the citizens in the city became cheerful, but the arena was deserted and no one visited them anymore.
Tufs often goes there, but no one fights, and the arena loses its meaning.
On the third day, a fast horse rushed into the city and brought bad news.
"What, the city-state has surrendered to Dalu?" The general slapped the table and stood up.
Originally, he thought that he had destroyed so many troops from Dalu, but because of the involvement of other cities, Dalu would not be able to deal with him, but he did not expect that the city-state, except for the one where he was, would surrender.
Pinching his forehead, the general sighed.
He walked into the yard, took out a wooden ladder and climbed onto the roof, looking at the streets and pedestrians below.
"Let's go, you take the residents away." The general said to Seth.
"Can't we surrender to Dalu?" Seth clenched his palm.
The general turned his head suddenly to him: "It is our glory to die in battle. Do you want to betray glory?"
"We can also surrender, just like that time just now."
"Don't mention false surrender, I did not give the order to surrender at all! It was the rebellious son who took my name!"
At that time, the general was shot by an arrow and was seriously injured, so he handed over the command to Tufus' brother. Unexpectedly, Tufus' brother actually surrendered with the army.
The general continued, "And the fraudulent surrender can only be used once, how could it be a second time? Think about how many Dalu people we killed, how could they be kind to us!"
Squat down, and he was about to climb down the wooden ladder: "Go to summon troops, and I will take them to meet the Dalu people for a while. When you see that the situation is wrong, you will leave immediately and cross the desert to the other end. Tell the soldiers that they will die with glory."
Seth did not answer immediately, and he was silent for a moment, showing a chuckle with laughter: "Ha, glory."
When the general who went down heard this, he picked up the ladder and knocked down Seth on the roof.
The two had a fierce quarrel. After the general repaired Seth, he left with three-quarters of the soldiers. Seth stayed in the city, waiting for news.
No news came that day, nor did it come the next day. Tufus thought his father had resisted Dalu's army.
But in the evening, Seth opened the city gate and welcomed the army of Dalu.
"What did you do!" Tufus pressed Seth to the ground and drew his sword against his neck.
Xia Yi stood aside, looking at the wind.
"As you can see, we surrendered to the Great Deer," Seth said.
"My father asked you to take the citizen away! Let's go!" With his voice pressed, Tufusi's tone was hoarse.
"Where to go! It's not that easy to pass through the desert, you can't get rid of it!" Seth's face was also ferocious.
"If you can't leave, you have to leave. The Dalu people will treat us as slaves!"
"No, I..." After saying a while, Seth stopped.
