After noisy for a long time, it finally calmed down. The sailors also lost interest in the women in the adobe house. According to Xiaobai's words, they did not kill these poor women, but let them go.
Xiaobai is powerless when it comes to matters between men and women. If he can control the sailors not to kill anyone, then he is trying his best.
Times are different, and people's concepts are also different. It is undoubtedly the stupidest thing to talk about humanity in such a chaotic era. When Xiaobai is reading ancient history, he often sees some generals issuing "destruction" orders in order to encourage soldiers to break the city.
"After the city, there will be a bloody massacre for three days".
Is this really cruel? Are the hearts of those generals really as hard as iron and have no sympathy?
Xiaobai didn't know what the real history was, but he felt that people had good intentions, and the reason why they issued such an order was out of helplessness.
As the saying goes, a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a horse travels a thousand miles to eat grass. If you want your subordinates to risk their lives, you must have enough rewards. You must have people know that they are following you, and then they can put their heads on your waist.
to do things with you.
Behind the strong, there are often withered bones and blood and tears. If you want to reach the top and occupy the throne, you will not succeed unless you are ruthless.
The words left by the sages are still fresh in Xiaobai's memory: "Compassion does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not control wealth."
Xiaobai asked himself, he is not a cruel person, he is not the kind of tycoon who can abandon his wife and children for the sake of power and shouts "I would rather betray the world than the world betrays me", nor is he the kind of cold-blooded plutocrat who only has wealth in his eyes.
, he is just an ordinary person with a little kindness, but is always forced to make helpless choices. He is even worse than ordinary people because of his soft heart.
Because he was soft-hearted, he advised the sailors and gave the women and children a way to live, but he could no longer stop the sailors, otherwise the women and children would not only die, but he would not survive either, and the sailors would abandon him.
The woman and the child left the oasis and fled into the desert. Xiaobai didn't know whether they would die or survive, and she didn't want to know. It would only increase her worries.
After the women left in tears, Xiaobai and the sailor were the only ones left in the village. They had enough time to rest, and there were many adobe houses. They didn't have to worry about having no place to live, and they could finally have a good sleep.
The loot on the ground is piled there, no one touches it. Anyone who dares to take the loot will die miserably and have to wait for the captain Takumi to give it to them.
A group of people gathered around the fire, drank some water, and ate some dried fish. Two sailors were left to keep watch while the others chose adobe houses to sleep.
Xiaobai sometimes envies these guys, because they are simple and have few worries, which also creates their fearlessness, which is a characteristic of this era.
After all, he is a modern person. He has experienced the information explosion, so he naturally knows more. For the tribal people, the things in Xiaobai's mind are beyond their imagination and reach, but this also makes Xiaobai's troubles increase.
, he would overthink many things, thus creating trouble for himself.
Lying on the bed in the adobe house, Xiaobai tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He rested his hands on his pillow and looked at the night outside. Xiaobai was a little confused and a little excited.
The New World, he finally arrived in the New World and saw the humans in the New World.
Although he only met the humans in one village, Xiao Bai already had a vague feeling that the humans living in this desert must have a better life than they did there because it was peaceful here.
With a dozen sailors, they could easily capture a small village. This does not mean that the Scandinavian people are powerful. It is more because the people in the village never thought that someone would attack them, and they did not have weapons to deal with such an attack.
surprise attack.
This continent has been integrated and is a whole. This is the conclusion that Xiaobai came to on the golden plate. There are many gods carved on it. It is not as simple as one or two. It should be a huge god system. How many gods are there specifically?
, Xiaobai doesn’t know, but it must be a lot.
People's beliefs have not caused internal strife because of their complexity, which illustrates the problem.
The New World is like a delicious steak, placed here, waiting for Xiaobai to pick it up.
Just when Xiaobai was thinking wildly, subtle footsteps suddenly came from the door, and the person walked to his door cautiously.
Xiaobai silently sat up from the bed, took out his one-handed ax, and stared at the door with narrowed eyes.
"Xiaobai, are you asleep?" the person outside the door asked anxiously.
It was the sound of the sea opening. Xiaobai slowly put down the one-handed axe, relaxed his whole body, and responded: "No, come in."
The curtain was opened, and Kaihai came in from the outside. He stood in front of Xiaobai, looking a little at a loss.
"It's so late, why are you coming here to me if you don't sleep?" Xiaobai asked.
"I want to talk to you." Kaihai rubbed his hands and said hesitantly.
"Hey, what do you want to say to me? Come sit here." Xiaobai sat up from the bed and made room for Kaihai.
Kaihai sat next to Xiaobai, sighed, looked a little melancholy, patted his face, and said after a long while: "I, I feel something is not right."
"What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked, looking at the young man in the moonlight.
"I don't know, I can't tell. Anyway, I feel like something is wrong with me." Kaihai lowered his head, his brows knitted into the Chinese character "Sichuan".
"I understand, you've never experienced anything like this, right?" Xiaobai's mind turned around and he roughly understood that Kaihai must have been frightened by today's plunder.
"Yes, it was my first time to go to sea, and my father didn't take me with him every time." Takumi sighed and said, "Maybe my father is right."
"No, it would be better to experience it earlier. Living under the wings of your father, you will never know the truth." Xiaobai shrugged and said, "This world is not as beautiful as you think. You have to work hard to adapt."
"Xiaobai, do you know, I killed a person tonight." Kaihai said in a very low mood: "When I killed him, he didn't even resist. He knelt on the ground and kept talking. I couldn't understand.
, when he died, blood spattered all over me, and I washed it for a long time, and I still remember his eyes, which were very wide."
Xiaobai reached out and patted Kaihai on the shoulder and asked: "So, are you scared?"
"I'm not scared, I don't feel anything, I can't remember anything. I just remember being sprayed with blood, and then I felt something was wrong." Kaihai covered his face, supported his legs with both arms, and said in a muffled voice: "I am
Aren’t you embarrassing the Scandinavian people?”
"You didn't embarrass the Scandinavian people. Believe me, Takumi wasn't much better off when he first killed someone than you are now." Xiaobai lifted Takumi's face, stared into his eyes and said, "Remember what I said,
You live in this era, and you must be prepared, either you will kill someone, or you will be killed." (To be continued)
