Chapter 106, Engine Rumble
Before the wolf came, almost everyone thought that Ren Xiaosu was being overly cautious, obviously having gotten rid of the danger, why did she still have to continue on her way.
But when the wolf came, only then did they finally understand what Ren Xiaosu had relied on to survive for so many years in the wilderness.
“Run!”
“If you don’t want to die, run quickly and don’t fall behind!”
At this time, most of the people got up and muffled their heads towards Ren Xiaosu’s side, they finally recalled the fear they felt when they saw the human-faced bugs before!
It had been less than a month since the wolves had last destroyed a factory. The administrator of the wall had ordered the stragglers to bury the corpses in the factory, and many of the stragglers threw up that day at the sight of the bloodshed in the factory.
Even they who had seen life and death couldn’t stand that scene. The bodies that the stragglers cleaned out of the factory that day numbered in the thousands, but none of them were intact, all of them had been gnawed by wolves.
Ren Xiaosu had already left the market town at that time, so he didn’t know that there was still this thing, but the fear of wolves among the stragglers already had a shadow.
Only, these stragglers now wanted to run faster, but they couldn’t run fast enough.
In the distance, Ren Xiaosu was sitting beside the bonfire and adding firewood to it, they didn’t hear the sound of wolves howling because they were far away.
The bonfire on a small pot on the shelf gurgling hot, Ren Xiaosu Xiaoyu sister before the smoked bacon to cut two pieces thrown into the original cooking porridge immediately wafted out a meat flavor, Wang Dalong on the side of the bawdy eyes watching.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at the others and said, “Don’t wait around, hurry up and knead your muscles now, we still have to continue our journey tomorrow.”
“It smells really good,” Yan Liuyuan sniffed his nose.
“I just saw wild coriander by the side of the road, it smells even better when I rip it up and throw it in later,” Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
The cilantro sold in the market town on weekdays were small seedlings, tender and tender, however, in reality, cilantro could grow more than half a person tall, and even when it grew up a lot of people couldn’t recognize it as cilantro.
“Cilantro?” Wang Dalong froze for a moment and deflated his mouth, “I don’t eat cilantro!”
“Don’t eat cilantro?” Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, “What a fragrant thing, why don’t you eat it?”
“Don’t you think cilantro has a stinky insect smell, it makes me want to vomit,” Wang Dalong said, “How can you eat it?”
Ren Xiaosu glanced at the cilantro in his hand and pondered, “Maybe because we’ve never eaten bedbugs before?”
Wang Dalong: “?…?”
I haven’t fucking eaten them either, okay!
Wang Fugui was in a bad mood and gave Wang Dalong a very small bowl of congee, then said to Ren Xiaosu: “If you put cilantro, then just put cilantro, can you not disgust my baby son.”
Ren Xiaosu hemmed and hawed and laughed twice, but he realized that Wang Fugui’s porridge for Wang Dalong was really too little, and deliberately did not serve a single piece of bacon, leaving all the bacon for the others.
“Old Wang,” Ren Xiaosu said seriously, “I’m very thankful that you were able to stand up for Yan Liuyuan and the others that night, and you were kind enough to take care of me in the past when I was selling my prey, which I remembered in my heart, so there’s no need to be formal when we’re all running for our lives together.”
Saying that, Ren Xiaosu brought Wang Dalong’s small iron bowl over to add some congee and gave Wang Dalong a piece of bacon.
Sister Xiaoyu had brought a few iron bowls with her, and in this early winter season everyone was holding them, waiting for the porridge to cool down a bit while warming their hands.
Ren Xiaosu often sells sparrows to Lao Wang, and he often sells them to Lao Li’s grocery store as a reason to blackmail Wang Fugui to increase the price, but in fact, later Ren Xiaosu went to Lao Li’s grocery store to see that Lao Li collects sparrows is also 900, but Wang Fugui sometimes gives him 1200.
Every time the winter is approaching, Wang Fugui will collect sparrows price will be slightly higher a few hundred, that a few hundred, usually is the price of a cotton jacket.
Sometimes Ren Xiaosu thought, even in this era, there will always be someone who glows, like a charcoal fire in the snow.
Wang Fugui looked at the bacon in Wang Dalong’s bowl and sighed, “I wasn’t wrong about you two brothers.”
Although Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan were exasperating, Wang Fugui knew very well that both brothers were emotionally attached.
“Don’t worry Uncle Fugui,” Yan Liuyuan laughed, “When we get to 109 Barriers, we’ll help you reopen the grocery store!”
“What’s the point of mentioning the past when you have to die for your life,” Wang Fugui waved his hand and laughed.
In fact, Wang Fugui was more open-minded than Ren Xiaosu had imagined, and it seemed that he wasn’t particularly attached to his share of the family business at the 113th Barrier.
However, right at this moment, Ren Xiaosu and the others all heard footsteps coming out from the distance, it seemed like there had to be hundreds of people running towards them, Ren Xiaosu drew his pistol out as he looked towards the others, “Hurry up and finish your respective porridge.”
Yan Liu Yuan and the others couldn’t care less if it was hot or not, they immediately drank the congee in one gulp according to Ren Xiaosu’s order, it was good that the congee had been left to dry for a while, otherwise everyone’s mouths would have to be scalded with blisters.
Ren Xiaosu frowned and looked at the hundreds of people running, “No, these people are fleeing for their lives, let’s also hurry up and go!”
At first Ren Xiaosu was a bit curious, why did this rabble suddenly set off again, didn’t they say they were going to rest at the sandstone field for the night.
But he immediately figured out that what could make this group of people move again was only danger!
Ren Xiaosu and the others were also dry, before the group even got close, they had already started to continue running.
The rabble behind them had no food for their sore backs and legs, while they each had a half-day massage and a hot porridge. Although they were both running for their lives, they were in completely different states from each other.
Moreover, in the moment of real crisis, Ren Xiaosu carried everyone’s luggage on his own body, and everyone else was relatively relaxed.
Suddenly Ren Xiaosu turned around and saw that on a hillside far behind him, that silver wolf king he had seen before was looking down at the crowd fleeing for their lives in the wilderness, as if quietly watching his prey.
Wolves were accustomed to adorning the back of their prey, and they would wait until the moment their prey was exhausted before launching their final attack.
If this group of rabble around them kept running in fear, I’m afraid that it wouldn’t take long for them to completely lose the strength to run for their lives, and at that time, it would be the time for the wolves to hunt.
Ren Xiaosu frowned, “We have to stay away from these people, although it’s hard to say that we’re letting them shield us from disaster, but we have no choice.”
Wang Fugui hurriedly said, “It’s quite good to use others to block disasters ……”
But just after the words fell, Ren Xiaosu suddenly heard the sound of a car engine behind him, he froze for a moment, how could there be a car here?
That engine sound in the wilderness is exceptionally abrupt, as if the roar of wild beasts.
Immediately after Ren Xiaosu suddenly reacted, this is the people who escaped from the barriers!
It seemed that the direction those people in the barriers were fleeing from was also this side, it was just that they didn’t know exactly how many people had escaped.
