117 You have to go! (1/2)
Looking at the women bringing the firewood back to their location, Ren Xiaosu lamented that it truly was quite difficult for women to survive in this sort of environment.
At this moment, he heard someone snoring beside him. When Ren Xiaosu turned around to look, he saw that Chen Wudi had fallen asleep while eating.
Chen Wudi was probably exhausted from having to protect dozens of people all by himself en route.
Ren Xiaosu felt this world was a little ironic. Of the several thousand people here, only the crazy Chen Wudi and one woman named Jiang Wu were willing to be good people. As for those who felt they were smart and capable, they only had the thought of saving themselves. Even Ren Xiaosu was no exception. But Ren Xiaosu was not ashamed of that. He had never thought of being a good person.
”Bro, why don't you sleep for a while?” Yan Liuyuan looked at Ren Xiaosu as he added more firewood to the campfire. ”Uncle Fugui and I will keep watch for the first half of the night.”
”Yeah, I also have a gun now.” Wang Fugui smiled. He kept the gun close to him as though it gave him a sense of security while holding it.
Ren Xiaosu gave it some thought and said, ”Alright then, I'll get some sleep first. Liuyuan, teach Old Wang how to use the gun.”
Wang Yiheng, who had been struck in the waist by Chen Wudi, had died. Not only was his spine broken, his vital organs had also sustained various degrees of damage. With such injuries, no one could survive.
When Ren Xiaosu woke up in the middle of the night, he saw Chen Wudi staring at him with a piercing gaze. No one knew when he had woken up.
Yan Liuyuan and Wang Fugui had not slept yet as they were responsible for keeping watch during the night. Wang Fugui was holding his gun and guarding against outside threats while Yan Liuyuan guarded against Chen Wudi.
Although everyone knew that firearms would not be effective against Chen Wudi, they still had to keep their guards up around him.
To Ren Xiaosu and the others, no matter how much sincerity Chen Wudi had shown them, everyone had just gotten to know him. Who knew if he was just good at acting?
Of course, even if they felt that Chen Wudi had other reasons for approaching Ren Xiaosu, it did not seem like he had any motive for doing so either.
Right now, the Qing Consortium was probably the most interested in Ren Xiaosu. No, strictly speaking, the Qing Consortium was more interested in Xu Xianchu. So Chen Wudi was probably not sent by the Qing Consortium.
”Master, you're finally awake!” Chen Wudi said.
Ren Xiaosu asked, ”You've only slept for a while. Aren't you sleepy?”
”Not at all.” Chen Wudi shook his head and said, ”Ever since I realized that I'm the reincarnation of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, I'm fine with just three to four hours of sleep per night. It's as good as sleeping for an entire night like I used to.”
”Alright then.” Ren Xiaosu nodded. It was about the same for him. Now, he could just sleep three to four hours every day and it would be sufficient rest for him. ”Liuyuan, Old Wang, both of you can go and sleep now. I'll take over.”
”Master, why don't you sleep for a little while more?” Chen Wudi said, ”I'll keep watch for you!”
”You don't have to.” Ren Xiaosu shook his head. ”How old are you?”
”Several thousand years old?” Chen Wudi wasn't too sure of it himself. ”After all, I don't know how long I lived in the past.”
”I'm talking about this current life!” Ren Xiaosu snapped. He realized he actually had to phrase his words carefully when communicating with Chen Wudi.
”Oh, I'm 22,” Chen Wudi said.
As Ren Xiaosu felt it was rather strange that someone who was five years older than him had suddenly become his disciple, he asked, ”Were you arrested and brought to the asylum by the private army?”
When Zhang Baogen got arrested, Wang Fugui received news that three arrested supernatural beings had been sent to the newly established psychiatric hospital by the private army on that same night. They even transported a lot of medical devices to the hospital at the time.
