Chapter 31【Catching Bugs】
The young man stared at the Gena tribe closely, his brows slightly furrowed, and he seemed to be still thinking about something, not paying attention to the movements around him. Jiang Xiangyang felt that no matter what way of greeting he used, the other party would scare him in his state, so he simply chose the most direct and clear one - covering his mouth and pulling him to his side.
The boy was frightened and subconsciously wanted to scream, but the sound was covered tightly in his mouth by Jiang Xiangyang's hand, avoiding the possibility of alerting the Gena guards.
The young man gasped for a long time and finally came back to his senses from his fear, but when he found that the person next to him was Jiang Xiangyang, the calmness he had regained disappeared and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Jiang Xiangyang didn't dare to let him go anymore. He looked into his eyes and softened his voice: "Look into my eyes, take a deep breath, exhale, inhale, exhale..."
Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, the young man didn't think much about it and immediately followed the breathing exercises. The rapid beating of his chest finally calmed down under Jiang Xiangyang's soothing. Jiang Xiangyang let him go when he saw that it was almost done. After the young man was able to speak again, the first thing he said to him was: "You are still alive?"
Jiang Xiangyang: "..." He stretched out his hand, "Do you want to feel it to see if it's warm?"
The young man didn't hesitate to pull his arm in front of him and touched it all over. He was really checking it out at first, but then he probably thought Jiang Xiangyang had good skin, so he held on to it and didn't let go, and even said words of praise.
Jiang Xiangyang: “…” This unlucky child.
Because the boy was the first person Jiang Xiangyang saw when he arrived on this planet, and he wasn't a bad person by nature, Jiang Xiangyang had a good impression of him. The boy didn't go too far and let go of his hand after touching it for a while, but the next thing he said was a surprised sentence: "You can talk?"
Jiang Xiangyang: "...Yes, but the process is too complicated and a bit difficult to explain." He asked knowingly, "What are you doing here?"
The boy was speechless for a moment: "I..."
Jiang Xiangyang glanced at the Gena tribe and asked, "Are you planning to do something?"
The boy smiled bitterly and rubbed his face: "Yes, although this is a bit beyond my ability..."
He paused, clearly unwilling to reveal anything further, and instead asked, "You're not from our tribe. You're a captured person from a distant tribe. Since you escaped, why did you come back?"
Jiang Xiangyang looked at the boy's small body, which was covered with many scratches. He didn't know how they got there. His eyes were soft and helpless. "You can run away, right? Why did you come back?"
The boy shook his head: "I didn't intend to run from the beginning."
This 'he' should be referring to the three-petal man. Jiang Xiangyang: "...I remember when I first saw you, you seemed to be running away too?"
The boy didn't deny it, but his expression was slightly sad. "Because the day before that day, I was chosen as a sacrifice to the gods, but I didn't want to die."
This time, without waiting for Jiang Xiangyang to continue asking, the young man simply blurted out the whole story: "Actually, there's nothing I can do to escape. This is the life of every slave. Slaves can't escape, but my life is different. It should be dedicated to the gods in this sacrifice. A man took the initiative to speak up and become the sacrifice in my place. He gave his life to save me and his brother. I can't die easily."
Jiang Xiangyang: “…” Wait, brother?
The little ball was also equipped with a machine language chip: "Yangyang, I thought of someone..."
Jiang Xiangyang was still a little dazed and uncertain: "We must be thinking of the same person..."
The boy's eyes narrowed as he looked around in panic: "Is there anyone else here?"
In order to avoid causing a stir, Jiang Xiangyang made the little ball enter mimicry when outsiders were around. He waved his hands and said, "No, no, I was just talking to myself. By the way, since you want to live and must live, why did you come back? You should know that with your ability to save him, it is just..."
The boy didn't evade: "You're looking for death, I know."
Jiang Xiangyang: “…”
"But he is here, I can't run away. Without him, I will feel pain here and I can't live." He pointed to the position of his heart with his finger.
Jiang Xiangyang was a little confused, but was inexplicably touched by the other person's expression: "You..."
The young man grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. He looked surprisingly innocent and beautiful. "I want to live. If I die, I'll just be a piece of meat. There's nothing left. How can I continue to be with him? I'm avoiding death, not avoiding being with him. After I run away, I'll secretly come back and watch him from a distance, and be careful not to be discovered by him or the other tribesmen."
Jiang Xiangyang was speechless this time. He felt very sad. Looking at the child, he just wanted to touch and hug him.
The boy seemed to recall the scene where the three-petaled man had put on a nasty face and angrily scolded him to leave. His fingers clenched his grass skirt, and his eyes suddenly reddened. He sobbed and wiped his eyes with his dirty hands: "My heart is already occupied by him. I didn't do this voluntarily as required by the gods. The sacrifice after running away will eventually anger the gods. It was me who implicated him. Then I listened to him and ran away. He has always been loyal to the tribe and will definitely go back to apologize. I thought that if I were alive, there was still hope that I could save him, but, but, wow -"
He couldn't stop crying and was afraid of attracting people, so he simply buried his face in Jiang Xiangyang's arms. Jiang Xiangyang didn't move. He let him wipe his snot and tears on his clothes, but he didn't move either.
The young man cried for a long time, and the moment he looked up, tears welled up again. He looked so pitiful. He softened his voice and said sincerely, "This is a matter between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. You should leave now. Soon the other four tribes will come to accuse the Gena tribe of their crime, and then you won't be able to leave."
Jiang Xiangyang: "..." Four major tribes? Crusade?
Little ball: “…” This sudden huge amount of information.
Jiang Xiangyang nodded as if he was completely confused, then turned around and really followed the boy's advice, walking out without stopping.
The young man froze, even more confused than him. He chased after him, hugged Jiang Xiangyang's thighs, and sobbed, "Are you really leaving?"
Jiang Xiangyang turned around calmly, his clothes still clearly showing the residue from the boy's mouth, nose and eyes. "Yeah, otherwise, I'm afraid of death too."
The boy's face trembled, and tears flowed down again: "You——"
"I have to leave quickly, otherwise I won't have time to run away later." Jiang Xiangyang pulled the boy's claws away, but before he could take a few steps, the boy hugged him tightly again and refused to let go.
Jiang Xiangyang: "What are you planning to do?"
The boy burst into tears again in a few minutes: "Please save him!"
Jiang Xiangyang: "But didn't you just let me go?"
The boy broke down and spoke his true feelings: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have played tricks on you. I acted like that because I wanted you to save him. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
This scene could be turned into an emotional drama with many twists and turns. The little ball was both happy and stunned watching from the side. It landed next to Jiang Xiangyang's ear and whispered to him: "Yangyang, how did you know that?" The data showed that the boy's mood had been hovering between sadness and despair. It almost believed it just now.
Jiang Xiangyang: "...When he hugged me just now, he used a lot of strength, and his steps moved very flexibly. He almost dragged me into the Gena tribe."
Little Ball: “…” It looked at the boy and thought to itself, what a pitiful boy, he is such a simple-minded person.
The boy was still howling, not daring to raise his voice: "Please save him, I will give you whatever you want as long as I have it——"
Jiang Xiangyang wanted to get him up, but the boy was like a Hercules pill, unable to be pulled or pulled. After his clothes, even his pants were about to be ruined. Jiang Xiangyang exuded an air of despair. "My dear classmate, what can you give me?"
The young man was stunned and let go of his hand. Jiang Xiangyang took the opportunity to save his leg. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the young man suddenly picked up a sharp stone from the ground and stabbed it on his head, shouting, "I still have my life."
[Data analysis: This will cause fatal damage to Yangyang——]
Jiang Xiangyang was so frightened that he kicked the stone away. The boy covered his hand with his hands. His skin was scratched by the sole of Jiang Xiangyang's shoe, leaving a long cut. He was gasping for breath and his whole body was stiff.
Jiang Xiangyang wanted to scold him, but when he saw the boy's frightened eyes, he softened his heart. He sighed, took out the medicine spray from the micro-terminal, sprayed it on the boy's wound, and the bleeding stopped quickly.
Even after seeing such an incredible thing, the boy did not have a big reaction. The little ball said that his mind was confused. In short, he was too panicked and scared silly.
Jiang Xiangyang reached out his hand expressionlessly, pinched the boy's face, and brought him back to his senses.
Jiang Xiangyang asked: "If he is dead now, what are you going to do?"
The young man took a breath. "No, after we went up to the altar, we heard God's messenger say that God was angered and would no longer use the sacrifices of the five major tribes. Ah Ying must have told the tribe leader about this. In order to calm the anger of the other tribes, the tribe leader must have handed Ah Ying over to them for disposal."
To provoke, to enjoy, to be sacrificed... Jiang Xiangyang rubbed his forehead. To what extent has my dear partner been demonized? And what on earth did you say at that time, Black Tension...
"Okay, I'll help you." Before the boy could show any joy, Jiang Xiangyang gave him a heads-up. "But I'm not good at fighting—I'm not as good as those campus belligerents. It's okay, you don't have to understand what I mean. I just want to tell you that even if I help, I may not be able to save your lover, understand?"
The boy was stunned: "But you are so strong..."
Jiang Xiangyang didn't feel happy after hearing these words that sounded like praise. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Compared to most people, I'm quite good at fighting, but——"
At the place where Jiang Xiangyang pointed, warriors from the four major tribes had already arrived, blocking all the surrounding avenues. They were shoulder to shoulder, heads pressed against heads. The words "ferocious" seemed to be written all over the warrior's face. The sun could not shine on the ground at all, and the night, as if thick ink could not penetrate it, had fallen early.
"The premise is that the number of people on the other side is within the normal range."
The day before yesterday was full of classes, so I couldn't save any drafts. Yesterday was Yuncheng's birthday, and my bestie took a special leave and drove two hours to come see me. I accidentally had a lot of fun and didn't save any drafts, so I stayed up all night to code.
I coded until two o'clock, took a two-hour nap, and then got up to continue coding. I finally finished coding. Yuncheng is not going well now. I feel my heart is a little excited and my body is a little floating. I feel like I will become an immortal in a minute. I'm going to sleep for a while. Thank you for your support. I promise again that I will write as you watch, and I will not cheat you. Please rest assured\(≧▽≦)/
