"Dad hurt you, it was dad who hurt you."
Seeing the big man crying with his arms full of tears, Li Hong silently picked up the girl and said, "Our caravan has the best doctor. As long as we return to the team, we will definitely be able to treat her!"
"That's right, we must join up with the business group immediately." Wei Lisi took a deep breath, and the gravitational magnetic field instantly blessed everyone. If Fang Lulu's judgment was accurate, the business group should have abandoned them. If not,
If we catch up with the team immediately, they may end up wandering on the vast grassland.
"Wait..." Zhou Yun suddenly turned to the big man: "Besides you, is there anyone else nearby?"
The young man asked himself that he was not a good person, but if someone encountered an accident, as long as it was within his ability, he would not do anything to save him.
"I think there is also a young couple..." Dahan's patrol team, which consisted of seven people, discovered mantises, also known as giant dragonflies. Three of them were killed instantly, and four of them luckily escaped the first wave of air strikes.
"Let's go back..." Zhou Yun carried the big man with a broken arm on his back and headed straight for the caravan with the assistance of the gravity field.
"Why don't you go find them?" The big man knew that he was a little nosy, but he really didn't trust the young couple.
The young couple, like their father and daughter, are small citizens living in the impoverished area of Xisebao. When they saw the recruitment notice posted by the businessman, they went to the grassland to escort the supplies.
They understand in their hearts that entering the depths of the grassland will inevitably be accompanied by various dangers. However, the benefits are also considerable...
The young couple had been newly married for less than half a month and hoped to live a good life, so they took the risk and took over the escort job. Originally, the man planned to apply for the job alone, but the woman was worried about her lover and insisted on following him no matter what.
Thinking that he was just escorting goods in the caravan, it shouldn't be too dangerous, and many people set out with the caravan every year, so the man agreed to the girl. Besides, the two of them had two commissions, so they could move to di du.
, live a better life.
However, fate is not as good as fate. Last night, their employer forced them to go to the front of the team to explore the route. The big man and others refused to agree at first. Although the salary was doubled, no one would take their own lives for granted.
It's a pity that if they don't agree, they will stop supplying food. Of course, they can also return to Xiseburg along the road, but without the escort of the business group, going back alone will be a dead end.
The big man confessed all the way that he should not have accepted this dangerous job and ended up harming his daughter. At the same time, he also secretly hoped that Zhou Yun and others would go find the young couple...
"On our way here, we have already met the couple you mentioned..." Fang Lulu only spoke half of her words. I believe that the big man understood what he meant.
"Really..." The big man lowered his head sadly, feeling very guilty in his heart. He recommended this job to them, but he didn't expect it to end up like this...
"That's not your fault." Zhou Yun could feel the other person's mood at the moment. No one doesn't want to live a better life, and it's only natural to work hard for it. What's wrong is that the person who only cares about his own interests, uses the desires of others as bait, and tramples on others
Businessman with ideals and life.
The big man felt guilty towards the two of them, and he did not want them to save his life in vain.
After a long journey, Zhou Yun finally caught up with the business group. Since the man and the woman were seriously injured, Li Hong immediately took them to Qin Meng'er for treatment. The young man did not want to see any unnecessary sacrifice and decided to find the beautiful swordsman alone.
theory.
Zhou Yun returned safely, and the beautiful swordsman was also surprised. From the blood and green liquid stained on his body, it can be inferred that he had a head-on confrontation with the monster.
The boy seemed to be in a very bad mood now. He had just fought with a giant dragonfly, and his whole body was stained with the blood of monsters. When he returned to the caravan, he felt extremely evil.
"Why did you change your path? Why didn't you send someone to rescue you? Why did you let those unarmed ordinary people explore the path even though you knew there were dangerous monsters?" The young man went straight to the beautiful swordsman in front of everyone and asked three reasons why.
The beautiful swordsman had already expected the situation at hand. She kept sending people to explore the road and die, and sooner or later someone would protest. However, she didn't expect that the matter would come so abruptly, coming from the mouth of the person she least expected to see.
"There is no reason. In order for the caravan to cross the grassland smoothly, it is inevitable to make appropriate sacrifices. I can only express my condolences and regrets to those warriors who dedicated their lives." The beauty looked at the young man indifferently: "Or do you want our caravan to
Are they all buried here?"
What the beautiful swordsman said seems to make sense, but Zhou Yun will not be fooled by this seemingly gorgeous 'righteousness': "What do you mean, the vanguard here is nothing more than a part of the 'appropriate sacrifice'?
"
You control your own life. You don't ask me to sacrifice, but I must sacrifice for you. At least Zhou Yun doesn't think that he is willing to sacrifice his life for those businessmen. They have no value at all.
The young man learned from the big man that most people had no choice but to risk their lives to explore the road. Contributing one's life under such forced behavior is not called sacrifice, but murder.
Zhou Yun's question immediately left the beautiful swordsman speechless. She couldn't say yes, let alone no.
"Don't the caravan have many masters like you? Why not let them explore the way? In that way, the safety of the caravan will not only be more guaranteed, but also there will be no need to make sacrifices. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." The young man approached the beautiful sword in a fierce formation.
Sir, the man's earlier expression full of unwillingness and pain kept reappearing in his mind.
The members of the vanguard looked at the two of them. No one wanted to die in vain. At least until the young man sought justice, no one wanted to explore the way for the caravan. As Zhou Yun said, if the masters do not come out to escort and let ordinary people sacrifice their lives to protect the caravan, this
What kind of fallacy is that?
"Or will you be able to save a lot of commission after they die?" Zhou Yun mocked the beautiful swordsman, and an uproar broke out all around. After all, some unscrupulous businessmen would do anything to make money.
First, they were lured with a huge commission, saying that they were responsible for escorting the goods. After entering the grassland, they changed their mind and forced them to explore the way. Firstly, they did not have to hire additional scouts, and secondly, they did not need to pay commissions to the dead. It was really a good way to get the best of both worlds.
When Zhou Yun said this, the crowd around him suddenly fell into chaos. Just as the young man said, if this was a trap set by the businessman in advance, then they would definitely become the big enemy.
"Scaremongering!" the beautiful swordsman shouted angrily, thrusting out her sword like lightning, as if she wanted to kill the young man with one strike. In this way, she could not only eliminate the hidden danger of disturbing the caravan, but also complete the task assigned by her master.
"Crack!"
There was a bright and crisp sound, and perhaps even the beautiful swordsman had never expected that the result of her full-out sneak attack would be a slap without mercy from a certain cloud.
"I am very disappointed with you now." Zhou Yun gave the girl a cold look. Although he knew that she and she existed in two different time and space, the difference in personality was too big.
Does he know my identity? The beautiful swordsman looked at the boy in silence. Half a year ago, she was a strong person who wanted to conquer the continent, and her strength reached the peak of the great swordsman.
The girl is naturally beautiful, has entered the realm of masters at a young age, and has a charming appearance. She must be sought after by many men on a daily basis.
As a noble, Xie Hai is the one with the highest status among many suitors. Unfortunately, the beauty is arrogant and disdainful of the men in the world, especially those self-righteous noble businessmen. When she uses a little trick to humiliate this persistent suitor, who knows?
But encountered the other party's revenge...
A beautiful swordsman was confident that she was strong, so she was invited by her friend to participate in an underground competition in the city. Unexpectedly, her friend betrayed her trust and poisoned her on the eve of the competition. As a result, she was defeated in the competition. Not only was her strength reduced to that of an ordinary swordsman, but she was also forced to sign a contract.
Make a slave contract.
From that moment on, the girl knew that she had been tricked, and that the whole thing was secretly planned by Xie Hai...
Of course, Zhou Yun didn't know the bitter history of the beautiful swordsman. He said, "Those who don't want to die will work as odd jobs in his caravan," and then turned around and left in a very cool manner.
The materials that the young man escorted were all grain, grass and weapons, so there was no need to worry about lack of food. If the other party really used food to hold others hostage, they could contribute some dry food. Anyway, it only takes a few weeks to cross the grassland and eat dozens of bags of rice to survive.
More than a thousand carts full of rice bags were worth just a drop in the bucket. As for the drinking water problem, Daiqinya said that with her water girl here, everything would be solved.
"I'm so angry! Are all people in this world sick?" Zhou Yun returned to his caravan. He was no longer interested in continuing to defend the caravan. When he heard Cheng Xian summoning his troops last night, he thought that everyone would work together to fight against the beast.
Covering the advance of the caravan, who would have thought that they had different motives and sent people to die. Only a fool would do such an unscrupulous duty...
"My dear, don't be angry. If you don't obey, your children will be struck by lightning and they will die." Xu Caiyue walked up to Mou Yun with a smile on her face, wagging her tail in a windy manner.
"How is the condition of the wounded?" Zhou Yun scratched Xiaoyue's pretty cheeks, and the little girl immediately clung to the boy obsessively, not caring about the dirty liquid on his body.
"We just vacated a carriage and are currently undergoing treatment. The doctor sister said that there is no danger to life." Xu Qian simply reported. When she saw the bloody man with a broken arm and the disfigured girl, she couldn't help but feel choked in her heart.
Panic, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Xiao Qian, I'm tired. I want to give her a hug and a kiss..." Zhou Yun seemed to see the beauty's hesitation, and suddenly opened his arms and rushed towards the little princess, intending to comfort the girl with his broad mind.
"Ah la la, I don't want it." Xu Qian turned around slightly to escape the "se" wolf and bear hug. After time traveling, the little princess said that she was no longer a sports novice and did not need to worry about being bullied by teenagers.
"Qinya hugs..." Seeing that the little princess was not allowed to kiss, Zhou Yun had no choice but to turn to the approaching blonde girl. However, before he could finish his words, Daiqinya was so frightened that she quickly backed away, hiding in the corner of the carriage and shaking her head repeatedly.
Just when the boy was wondering why the girls were avoiding him, Sister Ning took the scented handkerchief and gently wiped his cheeks: "Go and take a bath. You are so dirty. How can a girl like it?"
At this moment, Mouyun remembered that his previous battle with the monsters made his whole body stink, especially the green liquid. The disgusting smell made people feel sick.
"Xiaoya, Qinya, Yin Ying, Yuanying, the four of you are here to help boil water for your husband to take a bath." A lot of things have happened recently, and Zhou Yun is in a very bad mood, and now he really needs a daughter to relieve his worries.
The four beauties who were selected looked at each other, feeling a little worried in their hearts. They all vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with their lover. Even though there seemed to be no change on the surface, they always felt a little impetuous.
Perhaps even Zhou Yun himself didn't know that in the past, when he was in a restless mood, the fairy Bei'er would always act as a meditator silently. Now that he has lost the harmony of the beauty, the young man would feel uneasy from time to time.
