doomsday survival

Chapter 238
Night had already fallen, and except for the burning torches in front of the gate that could bring a glimmer of light, the entire cottage of the Chang'an tribe was shrouded in thick darkness.

It is already the end of August, and the Changbai Mountains have entered early autumn.Although the temperature during the day is still very suitable, but at night, it has started to get cold. If you don't put on a coat, it's really unbearable.

At this time, Xia Qing was wearing a coat, standing in front of the gate of the village, looking out through the viewing hole, hoping that her husband would return soon.

"Brothers and sisters, go back and rest," Wang Lie, who was standing beside her, urged, "I'll guard you here. As soon as Principal Shi comes back, I'll send him back to you immediately!"

Xia Qing stubbornly shook his head and stood there without moving.

Wang Lie looked at Xia Qing's anxious face, sighed, and said, "Sisters and sisters, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child in your belly, right? Adults can bear it, but children can't." ?”

Xia Qing trembled slightly upon hearing this, tightened the clothes on her body, and said, "Mr. Wang, I want to wait a little longer."

Wang Lie was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? After Elder He took his pulse, did he say anything?"

"I don't know, but the one who likes to eat sour recently, they say it might be a boy." A rare smile appeared on Xia Qing's face.

"Good boy, Principal Shi has a future." Wang Lie sighed.

"Yes, Brother Jian is very happy." Xia Qing's words were full of joy.

"Let's think about the child more, go back and rest." Wang Lie said earnestly.

"Then," Xia Qing hesitated for a moment, looked outside the gate of the village reluctantly, and then said, "Then I'll go back, thank you Mr. Wang."

Wang Lie waved his hands and said, "Go back quickly, I'm here to guard."

Xia Qing finally took a look at the viewing port, and saw that there was indeed no sign of Shi Jian outside, so he walked back.

Wang Lie glanced at Xia Qing's back, with a complicated meaning in his eyes, he sighed a long time, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Just after walking more than 200 meters, Xia Qing heard a sudden exclamation from the gate of the village. She immediately stopped and looked back at the gate of the village.

The gate of the village was opened by the guards. Under the light of the torches, a figure could be vaguely seen walking towards the gate of the village. Judging from the outline, it was Shi Jian.

"Brother Jian, you're back!" Xia Qing thought to himself, and hurriedly turned back.

Because she was three months pregnant, although Xia Qing was very anxious and wanted to know if Shi Jian was injured, she didn't dare to walk too fast.

Before Xia Qing reached the gate of the village, he saw that Shi Jian had entered the gate, and Wang Lie had already greeted him. Wang Lie's hearty laughter could be heard tens of meters away.

But at this moment, the situation suddenly changed!
I saw that Shi Jian not only didn't say a word when he greeted Wang Lie, but instead put the gun in his hand on Wang Lie's head.

"Brother Jian! Don't!" Xia Qing shouted loudly.

When she yelled, the guards who had already been frightened and stupid reacted, and they also yelled: "Principal Shi, put down the gun quickly, is there some misunderstanding?"

Wang Lie was surprisingly calm, as if he knew this would happen a long time ago, standing there without saying a word, letting the cold muzzle of the gun hit his forehead fiercely.

Shi Jian finally said his first words after entering the door: "Mr. Wang, do you think my gun can fire?"

Wang Lie smiled lightly, and said: "If you think it can, it can, if you don't want it to be able, then it can't."

Shi Jian stared at Wang Lie, and asked, "Mr. Wang, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"What can I say?" Wang Lie straightened his collar and said slowly, "As long as the tribe is safe and sound."

The two guards were still on the sidelines to persuade Shi Jian, but they dared not step forward to snatch the gun from Shi Jian's hand, for fear that Shi Jian would kill Wang Lie by the gun in a hurry.

But now hearing the conversation between the two people, the guard was dizzy and couldn't figure out what they were talking about, so he looked at them stupidly,

Xia Qing had trotted to the front at this time, and only then did she see Shi Jian's condition clearly.I saw that Shi Jian's body and face were covered with black and red blood, and there were many grass clippings on it, looking very embarrassed.

However, Xia Qing couldn't care about Shi Jian's body anymore. She wanted to stop the possible tragedy immediately, and hurriedly said to Shi Jian: "Brother Jian, what are you doing? Put down the gun quickly, why are you talking to Mr. Wang like this?" Here comes the joke."

Consciously or unintentionally, she characterized Shi Jian's behavior as a joke, thinking that she could excuse Shi Jian in the future.

Hearing his wife's words, Shi Jian laughed, and said, "Yes, I was just joking with Mr. Wang, but I didn't expect to scare Mr. Wang. Otherwise, with Mr. Wang's skill, my gun would have been taken by Mr. Wang long ago." Mr. Wang was taken down. Isn’t that right, Mr. Wang?” After speaking, he looked at Wang Lie with a smile.

"Of course I know you're joking," Wang Lie also laughed and said, "However, even if I don't know, I can't take the gun from your hand."

Shi Jian moved the muzzle of the gun away from Wang Lie's forehead, and slammed the trigger twice towards the sky. The gunshot he imagined did not appear, only the sound of the firing pin being fired.

"It turned out to be a joke, but it scared us to death." A guard patted his chest and took a long breath.

"You don't even think about what I'm going to do. Shoot tigers. If there are still usable bullets in the gun, wouldn't it be a ghost?" Shi Jian smiled at the guard. Emphasized the tone.

After hearing this, Wang Lie said, "Anyway, it's good that you come back. To be honest, I regret letting you go alone."

Shi Jian tilted his head and glanced at Wang Lie, and said meaningfully: "President Wang, don't worry, I can solve any trouble, let alone a tiger." Lie said: "Mr. Wang, in fact, the most terrifying thing in the last days is not zombies and beasts, but the human heart."

"Yeah, people's hearts are really scary," Wang Lie responded aggressively, "Some people have good intentions, but they unknowingly lead others to the end without knowing it. Is it more terrifying?"

Shi Jian smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "But how do you know that he is not leading others to the light? It is even more terrifying to force others' hearts with their own ideas, because his heart will gradually change. become a devil."

"Forget it, I can't say no to you," Wang Lie waved his hand and said, "Human, don't be too self-righteous."

"Yes, people can't be too self-righteous." Shi Jian repeated.

Xia Qing interrupted the two people's inexplicable charades, and said: "Okay, you don't want to discuss such profound issues here, go back and rest quickly."

"Okay, let's go back." Shi Jian said and walked up the mountain with Xia Qing.After walking two steps, Shi Jian turned his head again and said to Wang Lie: "President Wang, I will report today's events to you and the elders in the hall tomorrow, how about it?"

Wang Lie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the great hall tomorrow. You have worked hard on hunting the tiger alone this time, and everyone will give you a satisfactory explanation."

"That's good." Shi Jian didn't say any more, and walked straight to his home.

Xia Qing walked beside Shi Jian, and naturally went to take Shi Jian's left arm, but heard Shi Jian groan in pain.

"What's the matter, Brother Jian?" Xia Qing asked hastily.

"Keep down, we'll talk when we get home." Shi Jian whispered to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing knew something was wrong early on, otherwise Shi Jian would never have pointed a gun at Wang Lie as soon as he came back. Now it seems that Shi Jian's left arm must have been injured.Reminiscent of Shi Jian's behavior just now, Xia Qing cleverly kept his face, and walked home together with Shi Jian's support.

As soon as he entered the house, Xia Qing hurriedly lit the candles, and seeing Shi Jian's miserable appearance, tears flowed down his face.

"It's okay, it's all tiger's blood." Shi Jian comforted softly.

"Then what happened to your arm?" Xia Qing asked while helping Shi Jian take off his coat.

Shi Jian gently supported his left arm with his right hand, making it easier for Xia Qing to take off his clothes, and said lightly, "I was whipped by the tiger's tail." She bared her teeth, "Hey, take it easy."

"I'm sorry, I was careless." Xia Qing hurriedly stopped what he was doing and apologized in a low voice.

"it's okay no problem."

The two were talking, the door was gently pushed open, Feng Kuang rubbed his sleepy eyes, and walked in.When he saw Shi Jian, he was also taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you get into this state, are you injured?"

"Well, my arm was whipped by the tiger's tail." Shi Jian said lightly.

Feng Kuang's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Didn't you bring a gun? Why did you fight the tiger hand-to-hand? Take a gun and shoot it?"

"Don't mention it," Shi Jian said with a sigh, "I was tricked."

When Feng Kuang heard this, his expression became serious, and he asked, "What's going on?"

Xia Qing also understood at this time, and asked, "Wang Lie did it?"

"Who else but him?" Shi Jian smiled wryly, and said fiercely, "If you weren't there just now, I really wanted to kill him."

"What's going on?" Feng Kuang asked.

"Just look at the magazine." Shi Jian handed Feng Kuang a magazine.

Feng Kuang took it, and checked the observation window by candlelight, and saw that the bullets inside were full, and there was no problem.

But since Shi Jian said there was a problem, there must be something wrong.Feng Kuang took off the bullet on the top, inspected it carefully under the candlelight, and immediately discovered the problem - the bullet had obviously been unscrewed!
Feng Kuang tried it in disbelief, and sure enough, he easily removed the bullet, but there was not even a little gunpowder in the shell!
