Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 14 - One Arrow



In the fields on both sides of the dirt road, pale yellow straw and brown land are intermingled. It seems that the first season of grain has just been harvested. Li Jia does not know whether this world is divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the surrounding feeling reminds him of the fall of his hometown. Where the sun is not shining, the wind can make him tremble. And under the sun, it was hot and sweaty. He wondered whether the alien sun was also bigger than the original one. How could he be so panicked?

“Hey! The wheels are stuck again.” Chen Hansheng, who was pulling the flatbed in front of him, shouted loudly, “Come and help, everyone work harder. One! Two! Three! One! Two! Three !!” Jia and several others pushed hard in the back. Finally, the broken car filled with washbasins, towels, and thermos broke out of a bump on the dirt road.

It would be nice if a van could be driven out, Li Jia thought, not only did everyone save these hard work, but safety was also guaranteed. It must be much better to stay in the steel car of the van than it is now.

But now the school is higher than the ground, and there is no ramp, and the van can’t drive at all. So this flatbed truck that used to collect waste paper and garbage in schools became the only viable means of transportation.

This is how many of them worked hard for a long time before hanging from the top.

The town is actually very close to the school. At a distance of at least one kilometer, Li Jia looks far away and can see the shaking figure of Zhenkou. This reminded him of what happened at the school gate. I am such a soft-hearted idiot. Why did I promise to come over? The more he thought about his hair, the more he could not help but asked the officer who led the team: “Head Wang, we only have nine people and five guns. What if the other person gets up in case of a disagreement?”

The side translator Zhang Hong heard the words and said: “Yes! They have already formed a deadly hatred, they will definitely work hard with us. The school did not take our lives seriously!”

It’s really unlucky, this person can speak five different languages, but just can’t speak human language, Li Jia said. This annoying guy didn’t help the cart along the way, he just held a mop stick tightly, as if he had loosened it, he would lose his backbone.

“Desperately?” Wang Jiyuan smiled. “I don’t think they have a desperate reason.”

He carried a Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifle and walked in front of the flatbed without showing any nervousness. Of the other four military trainers, two walked in front to explore the way, and the other two walked by the car. For the first time, Li Jia discovered that his net worth was actually maintained by a gun.

A soldier on the side glanced at Li Jia and Zhang Hong, who were pale, and disdainfully: “Aren’t you just a native with a hoe? Frightened! If you read too much, you will lose it.”

Li Jia was a little unhappy, timid and recognizing the situation are completely different things. He retorted: “Can’t say that. The people I bumped into before were very strong and have good skills. As long as they are brave , Use the bunker in the town to get close, and swarming up is enough for you to drink a pot. “

The warrior had to argue, so he listened to Wang Jiyuan and said: “Shut up, pay attention to the alert.”

Chen Hansheng turned to Li Jia and said: “Xiao Li, don’t worry too much. Those who are scared by their mobile phones will run away, not to mention guns. Then the gunshots will sound, hehe. There are some of them that are good-looking. I ca n’t think of the feeling of being charged with a bullet. You will think about your heart. If you do n’t say anything, you will avenge someone in the same village and kill your life? ”

“That’s the reason.” Wang Jiyuan agreed, and he looked at Chen Hansheng again, “Brother was a soldier?”

“Old thing.” Old Chen grinned. Li Jia suddenly felt that this uncle had no market smell at all at this time, and there was a sense of grandeur all over.

Bai Yicheng, the chief of the logistics department who has not spoken, wiped the foreheads of sweat beads with his sleeves. His slightly fat face was white with tension and red with excitement. “We are here to do business, everyone Suppress the fire, and don’t come up just like a fight. “

“Mr. Bai, we can’t look bully. That guy is definitely not a good man. He used to hold a guy when he was around us. The leader has a big scar on his face, and his face is very fierce. He must have seen blood, Either a veteran or a gangster. “Chen Hansheng said while walking.” When dealing with such people, you can’t do it without breaking their arrogance. “

Lao Bai’s complexion turned whiter, and he sighed: “Ah, I figured out that we were going too fast. I just experienced a catastrophe, so I should repair it for a day, and then go inquire, now in such a hurry Busy, without perfect preparation, too dangerous. I still feel like dreaming, and the soul does n’t know where. “

“We … we are all abandoned sons.” Zhang Hong froze again with a frustrated remark.

Li Jia also felt a burst of pain in his heart. He didn’t think he was abandoned by God, and he was in a trance all the way, he didn’t know what to do? Others seemed to be stabbed in the heart by this remark, and suddenly fell silent. Zhang Hong burst into tears.

“No, it’s not abandonment. President Guo’s decision is correct.” Wang Jiyuan’s words awakened Li Jia from his delusions. “If we don’t take advantage of the day to figure out the situation and solve possible threats, then at night, the school is almost impossible. It ’s fortified. If it ’s attacked by the natives at night, the consequences will be disastrous. “

He turned around, walked to the flatbed, patted the plate hard, and the pots and pans were so loud that “There are two truths in the world, the truths spoken and the truths played out. Now, Either way, it ’s on our side. I can now guarantee that if you want to move forward, our soldiers will rush ahead, and if you want to retreat, our soldiers will be behind. I really want to sacrifice, and it ’s not your turn! So, give it to me cheer up!”

Wang Jiyuan glanced at Zhang Hong with tears on his face. The latter froze, but stopped crying, and then nodded slightly to Li Jia and others, and then returned to the front of the team and walked firmly to the opposite side.

An arrow descended from the sky and was obliquely stuck in the mud in front of Wang Jiyuan. He yelled a stop and the crowd stopped around the flatbed about a hundred meters from the entrance of the town.

Li Jia carefully hid behind the car and looked at the probe, only to see that the road ahead had been blocked by a low wall made of stones and wood. At least dozens of aborigines were hiding behind the fort, holding sticks, forks and hatchets looking at them side by side. One of them was holding a long bow, obviously the leader of this group of people. He waved his arm and roared to the side for a while, and then the people around him raised their weapons to demonstrate here.

“Listen, what are they calling?” Wang Jiyuan frowned and asked Zhang Hong.

“Amazing! This is a bit like Spanish, I can really understand some.” Zhang Hong answered stutteringly, although he was less courageous and shivering, but the name of the language expert was not given in vain. “Let We walked away … saying that we are the devil that fell from the sky … don’t go forward, or they will kill us. “

“Huh, it’s not a good word. According to the previous plan, everyone else is ready.” Several soldiers brought by Wang Jiyuan looked for cover and lifted their guns. Several others concealed behind the car.

Under the protection of Wang Jiyuan, Zhang Hong opened his voice and responded to the past. The general idea is that we are good people and come from afar, willing to do business with people here.

Such a statement obviously made the opponent a little surprised. The leader was indecisive and discussed with the people around him. However, Li Jia could see that their internal opinions were also very different, and several people were talking and shoving each other. It seemed that they had huge differences. The argument continued for a long time. In the end, there seemed to be a few particularly excited people who persuaded the leader to let him answer.

“We … don’t … bargain. You killed … our people. Go away … otherwise, kill.”

“You said to them that they offended us first, and our killing was self-defense. As long as they agreed to the transaction, we can give them some gifts, without blame.” Wang Jiyuan ordered.

“This … is too tough?” Zhang Hong hesitated.

“Translate according to what I said.” Zhang Hong had to try to explain to them. But the other party was tossing and turning just a few words, which could be heard from the voice, and the leader became more and more irritable.

“Head, do you want to scare them with two shots?” A soldier lost his patience.

Wang Jiyuan glared at him and said to Bai Yicheng: “Mr. Bai, I would like to take two plastic basins as gifts and send them to see them. This modern industrial product must be very valuable to them. Maybe it will be able to arouse their interest in talking. “

“It’s too risky.” Bai Yicheng’s face is almost wrinkled. Although he is the person in charge of the school’s actions, he is completely unsure of how to deal with such difficulties.

“Wait is not a way. Don’t get into the tiger’s den, we’ll win the tiger. We have to take some risks if we want to break the deadlock. I won’t get too close, I can put the plastic basin down a little farther.” Behind you, remove three plastic basins from the flatbed. Ready to walk across.

Li Jia was very anxious. Wang Jiyuan walked all the way and seemed to be the backbone of this team. It ’s not worth the risk personally. He looked at the soldiers and always felt that the charge should be a soldier ’s thing.

“Leader, let me go.” Finally a soldier stood up and said to Wang Jiyuan by holding the washbasin.

“Rough. This is a foreign task. It’s your turn?” Wang Jiyuan snatched the basin and patted the soldier’s forehead hard, making the other person grin and take a step back. past.

“Head Wang, let me give this job to old Chen. We did not have to do this kind of” foreign affairs “task at the border.” Chen Hansheng put his washbasin under his arm and stopped Wang Jiyuan’s hand.

“Being a soldier should know to obey orders.”

“We sell steamed buns, not under the control of the army.” Lao Chen smiled smugly, “I take the initiative to support the army, you have to give face.”

Wang Jiyuan earned twice, but couldn’t pull Lao Chen’s arm and had to say, “Be careful, be ready to return at any time.”

The person on the opposite side saw Chen Hansheng holding his hands and slowly walked over with a few washbasins, and he could not help commotion. The archers next to the leader pulled the strings and aimed at him. Seeing this, Chen Hansheng’s legs were slightly bent, and the man arched slightly, like a leopard ready to go, slowly pacing towards the other party.

“We are not malicious, this is a gift from us.” Zhang Hong shouted this sentence over and over with a scream of exhaustion. This made the leader who was watching Chen Hansheng approaching slowly hesitated. But he still did not put down his bow and arrow, still staring closely at Chen Hansheng who was approaching step by step.

At 80 meters, 50 meters, and 20 meters, Chen Hansheng was getting closer and closer to the other party, but his pace was getting steady. He looked directly at each other’s leaders calmly with his eyes, trying to convey goodwill as much as possible. When he reached more than ten meters, he stopped and squatted slowly, preparing to put the basin on the ground. But he didn’t expect that his action caused a wave of tension in the opponent. An archer ready to launch, his finger slipped and an arrow shot at Chen Hansheng’s chest.
