[Red House] That natural stay

After driving on and off for two days, the two finally saw a cave full of the same kind.

Mo Jue still looked expressionless, but Xia Rong couldn't help feeling a little flustered in his heart. He was driving in the white-capped valley all day long, and there was no one else except the two of them.Now that they have met, it not only means that the two of them may not be far from the nearest town, but also can inquire about the current situation in Jiangnan.

But when the two of them approached slowly and stopped at the entrance of the cave, they realized something was wrong.There were a lot of people in the cave, and the clothes should be the people of the nearby villages, sitting in a corner in groups of three or four, all of them pale and emaciated.Seeing the two of them, the atmosphere changed subtly in an instant. The eyes that looked at them either covertly or openly contained too many meanings, including excitement, greed, and worry...

Mo Jue and Xia Rong noticed this, especially when they looked at Xia Rong on the sled, they could feel the green light in the eyes of some people in the cave, but they quickly lowered their heads.

They didn't speak or come forward to chat or anything, they just found a corner not far from the entrance of the cave and stopped.Let Xia Rong sit down carefully, the temperature inside the cave is very low, not much better than outside, not to mention the two are still at the entrance of the cave.But people are born to live in groups. No matter what, under the same harsh environment, they will choose to be with their own kind, even if all the dangers are unknown, just like everyone in the cave at this time.

Mo Jue also sat down beside Xia Rong, and began to close his eyes to rest, but his nerves were secretly tense.Soon, seeing that Mo Jue seemed to have fallen asleep, the middle-aged or young men in the cave couldn't sit still.His eyes became more and more unscrupulous, looking up and down at Xia Rong, as if he was estimating something, completely ignoring that Xia Rong was still awake at this time, and was watching the farce with cold eyes.

Indeed, in their opinion, Mo Jue could be said to be thin and weak for a man.As for Xia Rong, even though he was tall, he seemed to have been injured and couldn't move at all.So, aren't these two people just ready-made 'food' sent from heaven?What's more, there are so many of them, can't they deal with two people?Thinking of this, those who had this kind of thoughts looked at each other tacitly, while those who didn't have this kind of thought dodged when their eyes swept over.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Mo Jue opened his eyes when the sky was getting dark.The inside of the cave was still the same as it was at the beginning, and everyone sat around to keep each other warm.It seemed like nothing had happened, and of course, nothing had happened.Mo Jue took out a steamed bun wrapped in oil paper from his bosom. This was the last one. He broke it in half and handed half to Xia Rong. Because it was too cold, the steamed bun was as hard as a stone when chewed in his mouth. It's almost there, and my teeth are very gritty.But even so, the two still swallowed hard.As the saying goes, when you are hungry, no matter what you eat, you will feel extremely sweet, let alone when you are fleeing like this?

When Mo Jue took out the last steamed bun, almost everyone's eyes were on the two of them, and the eyes that had been staring at them became even hotter.This group of people came here to avoid the snow disaster. After eating all the dry food they brought, they endured hunger for a while and finally lost to desire.I don't know who started it first, the former neighbors who were carried out one by one, and then the few people who always volunteered to help went out with "sadness" again and again, but they couldn't hide their "joy" when they came back.The other people around were getting thinner and thinner day by day, which was in stark contrast to those few people who had not changed or even looked better and better.How can this not make people suspicious?When it was discovered that those people were "eating neighbors and eating", no one came to criticize them, but chose to join the ranks of "cannibalism" silently.

As a result, most people survived, and fewer and fewer died of starvation.So, in the end, there is less and less 'meat' to eat.So a few insane people began to pay attention to the elderly, children and women, especially those women whose husbands died in this disaster and brought their children alone. The small meat is extremely delicious, while the big one can both relieve desire and be used as food. To store food, that's why when Mo Jue and the others came in, they saw a group of three and four with a woman sitting in the middle.After another period of time, this 'circular pattern' gradually stabilized.If new people come here, they will inevitably end up being reduced to food.Just like the two of Mo Jue at this time.

Of course, it is still uncertain who will be whose 'food'.

Seeing that the two of them were still carrying the 'heavy treasure', the group of people turned their minds again. Even though Mo Jue had already thrown away the greased paper that contained the steamed bun, which meant that this was the last steamed bun, they would not do this. Thinking, who knows if there are other foods hidden in that skinny teenager?Thinking about it this way, the people who originally wanted to use Mo Jue as a food reserve raised his level to the same level as Xia Rong's.

Even though other people's gazes were on the two of them like sharp knives, Mo Jue and Xia Rong still ate calmly.But the vigilance in my heart has been raised again.It seems that sometimes people are really scarier than devils.The two of them thought in unison.

After such a long time, it was almost time to look at and investigate. The eyes of this group of people looking at the two of them were extremely familiar, just like the bandits who were chasing them not long ago.For another example, when Mo Jue and Xia Rong met for the first time, they were similar to the group of people in Lone Wolf Mountain.

In this weird atmosphere, the two settled for dinner.This is really the last steamed bun. From tomorrow onwards, maybe I will live a life without this meal.Even these days, they are never full.

The other people in the cave didn't eat anything, but they couldn't take it anymore. Occasionally, some people would run to the entrance of the cave, reach out and stuff a handful of snow into their mouths.This will more or less satisfy your hunger.

The sky was completely dark, and there were no torches to illuminate the cave, so it was pitch black.Tonight's moon also seems to be covered with a layer of tulle, and its expression cannot be seen clearly.Therefore, Mo Jue and the others could only rely on the sound of the wind breaking between people walking or other things to judge the surrounding situation.Mo Jue was better than Xia Rong. Even though he couldn't see the expressions on everyone's faces clearly in the dark, he at least knew the shadowy figures and positions.As long as someone gets up, he will notice.

Now, the number of times he relies on the system is decreasing time and time again.Try to solve some problems with his own ability, of course, he is not completely out of the system, but he is consciously exercising his ability.And the system, after realizing Mo Jue's idea, for some reason, tried to cooperate with him as much as possible.Only occasionally audible reminders.Except for emergencies, of course.

Everything is quiet on the ground, only the sound of shallow breathing or snoring can be heard constantly.In fact, Xia Rong has almost recovered, faster than Mo Jue expected.As long as you find a chance to take out the arrow, you can completely heal.But after the two discussed it, they decided to let him continue to pretend that he was seriously injured, so that if there was any unexpected situation, he would be able to catch the other party by surprise.

Xia Rong reached out and leaned Mo Jue's head in his arms, put a hand through his back and put it around his shoulder.It's like enclosing him in his arms, of course, the posture is almost the same now.Mo Jue was stiff for a moment at the beginning, but soon relaxed.She moved her eyelashes, but after all, she didn't open her eyes and didn't say anything.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, everyone fell into a deep sleep.Several middle-aged men on the left side of the cave got up slightly, each holding a wooden stick in his hand, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.Walking through the crowd deliberately and lightly, even if one or two people were awakened, they all closed in a blink of an eye.It's like never waking up.

When they reached the entrance of the cave, they saw Mo Jue and Xia Rong sitting together.There was some kind of smug or malicious smile on his face.Tighten the wooden sticks in your hands, one with thin skin and tender meat, the other with thick skin and thick meat, you can eat it for a while, right?Thinking this way in their hearts, several people couldn't help but raised the wooden sticks in their hands.

Just as he was about to swing down vigorously, he suddenly stopped his hand halfway.Those glass-like eyes suddenly opened, and they just stared straight at the few people without the slightest emotion.Under the hazy moonlight, they couldn't help thinking of some bizarre things, their hearts trembled, and the wooden stick almost fell off.But without allowing them to think about it or make amends, the person flew out and hit the opposite wall directly, the human body and the hard stone made a toothache sound.

This also awakened everyone in the cave, who were either really sleeping or pretending to be sleeping, but no one came to check or support.For other people who didn't do anything, no matter which side lost their lives, they would have 'meat' to eat, so it's better to wait and see.People are like this, their own interests always come first, and the more tragic the environment, the more obvious it is.

After a while, those few people struggled to get up, moaning continuously.

Mo Jue followed the hazy moonlight and gradually approached, looking down at the few people lying on the ground.His eyes are deep.

Someone boldly said: "You, what do you want to do? We are just passing by." He coughed violently as he spoke, obviously the kick was not light.

"Passing by?" Mo Jue stared at the man and repeated.

Perhaps he was overwhelmed by the aura exuding from the young man, so he asked, then his eyes flickered, and he shut up.

"Heh, then I'll deal with you in a 'smooth way'." He opened his mouth and smiled.

I don't know what technique the boy used, or where he took out the vines. In the blink of an eye, several people on the ground were tied together.In full view of everyone, he raised one hand and walked straight out of the cave. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he threw them into the snow.

He thought, order some hors d'oeuvres first or try to make an example of others?
