Chapter 175 You are my dawn
Chapter 175 You are my dawn.
Baili Xi’s words reminded Su Mingjue of the Shi Boen that Baili Xi had said before.
He could understand what he said. People's trust in the world is very fragile, especially after being designed by that person and causing family destruction and displacement. It is actually very difficult to trust others again.
"So Xiao Mo clearly liked candy just now, but he didn't dare to reach out to pick it up easily," Su Mingjue said, recalling what happened before.
Baili Xi nodded, "Because after that, when the tribe taught their children, they asked them to be wary of strangers and not to follow other people's ways."
Su Mingjue said with a smile: "This is actually not a bad thing. "You really have to be wary of strangers."
Baili Xi shook his head, "That said, our people are kind-hearted and force themselves to be cold-hearted. In fact, everyone feels uncomfortable."
"I understand in my heart, but it's hard to say. After all, my clan members did end up where they are now after being betrayed. It's funny that I had the same mentality for a while."
Su Mingjue looked at him with a smile on his face. , "But that's all over, isn't it? Now the clan members are living a good life, and their hearts are slowly beginning to open up."
Baili Xi felt warm in his heart when he heard this, "Yes, everything is slowly getting better."
Thinking of this, his face He showed a relieved and bright smile, "It's all thanks to you. It's you who brought them back to life."
"I" Su Mingjue pointed at herself with a look of disbelief.
Pulling the grass next to him, he said: "I don't have such great magical powers. I just did you a favor. When you say this, I feel like I am your savior, saving your lives."
Baili Xi Wenwen Looking at him with a smile, "Why not? It's your appearance that allows our tribe to live in a new land. We no longer have to hide here and there, and we don't have to be bullied anymore. This place is also close to the river, and we can rely on the water again."
Baili Xi took a deep breath and said: "The most important thing is that your appearance has kept the trust of our tribe from collapsing. People can still help someone without reservation, just like we helped others a long time ago."
This is so true. It was so heavy that Su Mingjue felt that her breathing was becoming heavier at this moment.
It was unexpected for him that his unintentional act could achieve this.
Su Mingjue even felt the weight of this moment and stuttered a little, "How... how can it be so... noble as you said!"
Baili Xi's eyes were extremely clear, as if they had been washed by spring water. Same, with a firm look in his eyes: "You have! Thank you Mingjue, thank you for helping us so much and bringing our people back to life."
There is another sentence Bailixi did not say out loud, but he silently muttered it in his heart. To: It also brought him back to life.
Su Mingjue saw the soft light in the other person's eyes, as thick as maltose and hard to ignore, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
He smiled sarcastically and looked at the child not far away: "I didn't think too much when I was doing it. As long as the tribe lives a happy life, that child seems to be very interesting. I'll go and have a look."
After that, he seemed to run away . He left the scene and walked to the pile of children nearby.
Baili Xi looked at the distant figure with a smile on his lips, but his thoughts drifted into the distance.
Thousands of ragged young men on board were scattered on large and small naval warships. They jumped into the vast sea again and again under the whip of soldiers wearing armor and hats.
A man in his forties struggled to swim on the sea with trembling legs. There was thick sweat on his head, his face was pale, and he almost couldn't hold on and sank into the sea.
However, he gritted his teeth, tremblingly took out the brown paper bag from his back, put it into the water, and then got in.
After the broken wound was exposed to water, a red patch spread out on the sea surface. The person who had been diving into the water for a long time did not appear for a long time.
When the soldier saw that there was no one underneath, he whipped the child tied to the pillar and shouted into the water: "If you don't come up, your child will be thrown into the sea."
The calm sea surface stirred up with a splash of water. With a sound, his thin and frail body slowly dived out of the water. The wounds soaked in water were faintly white, and he looked frightened and ready to collapse at any time.
The boy looked at the hard sound on the lake and held back his voice and shouted: "Dad, I'm fine, take your time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was responded to by a hard and loud whipping sound. After the little boy was whipped Couldn't help but let out a groan.
The people soaking in the water heard it and climbed out of the water with a slow breath.
When the officers and soldiers guarding the boat saw him coming out of the water, they threw the rope over and said a lesson: "Hold on to the rope and climb faster. I will not be responsible for saving you if you fall!"
The middle-aged man heard the sound and made a move. He nodded with all his strength, then tightened his grip on the rope and started climbing up step by step.
Because he was afraid that the officers and soldiers would tell him, he climbed very fast. However, after struggling in the water, he had already lost his strength. Halfway through the climb, his hands lost strength and he slid down.
The thin body is as thin as a piece of paper, and can float away at any time like a gust of wind.
Seeing this, the officer and soldier began to curse, "I warned you a long time ago, hold on tight, you may have fallen!"
The soldier on the side saw it, scooped up a ladle of sea water from the side and poured it on, "You and him What nonsense are you talking about? If you can't get up, just pour water down. If you still can't climb up, just let go and sink to the bottom of the sea. You can't even climb up with a rope. This person is designated as a useless person. What do we want a useless person to do if he can't go into the sea?"
These words ! He was extremely cold and cold, but the little boy on the pillar was already numb. He bit his lip to prevent his temper from showing, and said with a calmness beyond his years:
"Master, let me pull it! The meal will be served soon. We're here, you guys just have a rest and have a meal."
The two soldiers glanced at him and said, "You are so young, but you have such strength."
The child nodded, "I can do it. The food won't taste good when it's cold, Master." It's better to put me down as soon as possible, and I'll just pull him up."
After hearing this, the two looked at each other and considered the feasibility. Another soldier next to them said: "The person who is going down here is the leader of their clan, and Lord Shi specifically ordered not to kill him. " I'm afraid it's inappropriate to leave this in the hands of a child."
The man in charge of splashing water laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? No matter what, he is still his father, and he can let his father fall to death. He was tired for most of the day and starved to death." Let's go eat."
The hesitant person was moved when he heard this, and his eyes signaled the other person to let go, and the child fell from the pillar in an instant.
He didn't have time to check whether he was injured, so he ran to the side of the ship and grabbed the rope pulled by the officers and soldiers.
When the soldiers saw someone picking up the fight, they threw the work to him and went to eat.
The child looked at the person under the rope, holding back tears and shouted: "Dad, I'll pull you, just hold on to the rope."
After saying that, the child gritted his teeth and tightened his hands tightly, pulling the rope up with veins on his head. pull.
The people below the rope felt the rope going up a little bit, and they tried their best to climb up. After a while, they finally climbed up.
Seeing the person climbing up, the child helped the person aside, took out a water bag from behind and fed the person some water, "Dad, drink water."
The man's mouth squirmed and he drank some water, and then passed out.
The child was stunned, his hands suddenly froze, and he did not dare to cry.
He reacted after a moment and touched the neck of the person next to him with his hand. Seeing that his pulse was still beating, he smiled with wet eyes.
After a while, the man held his little hand tightly and said in a weak voice: "Xiao Xi, you must live well. The Baili people, your grandfather and your mother will be left to you."
"Dad, this is What nonsense are you talking about! You are still here, your grandfather is here, and we are all still here!"
The middle-aged man shook his head, "This is not the way to go. Your grandfather is too old to worry about this. You have to Remember that you are the leader of the Baili tribe, and you will take on the responsibility of the Baili tribe in the future. You have to take them to a better place to live and work in peace and contentment."
After saying that, the middle-aged man stood up weakly. He walked up to the group of soldiers and said, "Go and tell you, Mr. Shi, that our Baili tribe is willing to hand over our hydrological exploration skills."
The soldier laughed when he heard this and took the middle-aged man away. Since then, the child has never been seen again. Saw his dad up close.
When they met again, his father was tied to a boat and whipped severely, and he swam into the dark river while enduring the pain and tears as he listened to the sound.
