Chapter 547 (1/2)
As soon as I entered the village, there were about ten and a half year old children running out of their houses cheerfully, and then around a few. Bessie looked a little embarrassed and said to them, ”go, I'm passing by this time, but I didn't bring you any presents.”
Although each of the little faces showed a little disappointed expression, the children ran away with laughter. Looking at the man in front of her curiously, Becky pulled the brim of the cowboy hat with her hand, lowered her head and said in a low voice, ”the resources in the village are very limited, and we have to compete with the changelings for territory. Since I've been sensible, everyone's life has passed. It was not until I met him that I was able to use the money I earned from him to improve the village. Now everyone's life is much better than before. Unfortunately, I can't help them any more. ”
Zero looked him up and down as if he had known Betsy on the first day. The latter said with a smile, ”don't look at me like that. I can be merciless to the outside world, but these people alone, I can't. And without them, I think I would have been a madman like pedfeni. At least, with these families, I don't feel empty. ”
No silence.
It's true that if there are no obstacles and checks and balances, people will go crazy. The most important reason is the emptiness of the heart, which is like a black hole. In order to fill the void in their hearts, many people have become lunatics who only know how to kill or indulge, but these things can never fill the hole in their hearts.
So the hole will only grow bigger and bigger, in the end can not help but devour others, but also bury themselves.
The bald man, who had stopped a few people on the guard tower, carried a machine gun to Betsy's side, and then looked at them carefully. Betsy said faintly, ”it's very impolite, ravel. They are my guests.”
”Well, guest. It's really strange that you bring guests here for the first time in so many years. ” Ravel laughs and punches Betsy: ”how long are you going to stay this time? Maya must be so happy to know you're back. Eh... ”
Betsy gave the big man a punch and pushed him back a few steps. There was nothing left to hold him from the back before he fell. That's why ravel was surprised. He looked up and down at Betsy and frowned, ”are you hurt?”
Ravel is the strongest man in the village except Betsy, but he only has four levels of strength. And he knew that Betsy was a strong man in the eighth level. He would not frown even if he stood and let him fight ten or 100 punches. But now, a little punch makes the man step back. The weakness from Betsy's body was clearly conveyed to the man's head through Ravel's fist. He was curious, who could hurt Betsy?
Betsy began to smile bitterly, but jokingly said, ”yes, I've been seriously hurt. I'm not going to leave this time. You'll have to support me in the future. I'll take it as the interest that I helped you before. ”
”What nonsense, as long as we have food, we won't lose you one point. But this wound... ”
”Don't ask my friend.” Betsy said faintly, ”I remember that you should go hunting now. The active period of those wild animals in a year is approaching. I remember that there are several coyotes' nests nearby. It seems that you have to clean them up first.”
”Well, well, I'll find some young men and go. Say hello to Maya for me Ravel showed an honest smile and waved goodbye.
”He always talks a lot, but he's very nice. He took care of Maya for me during my absence. By the way, Maya is my wife. ” When Betsy said this, her face stretched out and she showed a smile from the bottom of her heart. As if thinking of something, he added, ”I'm sorry, she doesn't know what I'm doing outside? So if I can, I hope... ”
”I only want that thing. We won't talk about anything else.” Zero interrupts his words, light way.
”Thank you,” Becky said sincerely
He took a few people through most of the village, and almost everyone who saw Betsy, men and women, young and old, would greet him. Judging from the kind smiles on each face, Betsy was very loved by them in the village. After all, everything that this man gains from fighting outside is used in this village. Naturally, no one will dislike him.
In the end, they stopped in front of the only two-story house in the village. On the balcony on the second floor, a woman is drying clothes. Her movements were not sharp, but rather dull. Hands always have to grope for something, and only after they are sure can they put their clothes on a wooden pole. But her hearing is very keen. She is on the second floor, but she hears the footstep downstairs.
So the woman lowered her head, which was a graceful face. It's not beautiful, but it's very fresh, giving people a very comfortable feeling. She has a long flaxen hair, soft hair color, and her temperament is exactly the same. But her big eyes were in a daze. She looked down but didn't know who was coming. The woman asked with a smile, ”is it ravel? Don't pretend. I hear your footstepsBetsy's eyes were gloomy.
Zero looked at the woman and then at Betsy, who said faintly: ”Maya, she was born in a cave. It can be said that her childhood was spent in darkness, so her eyes have degenerated...”
Although Betsy's voice was not high, the woman upstairs had heard it. Her face froze, followed by big tears: ”Betsy, is Betsy you?”
”It's me, my dear!” ”I'm back, and I'll never leave you again,” Becky said
With a cry of joy, the woman turned around and fumbled into the room. Moments later, the door downstairs opens and Maya runs out and into Betsy's arms. Looking at the two of them hugging each other tightly, 03 were speechless.
Sometimes, happiness doesn't have to be the profligate money, the inexhaustible power, or the supreme power. Sometimes happiness can be a trivial thing, such as two people who love each other can hold each other tightly. For them, this moment is happy.
It's like two people hugging each other in front of zero, even if the world is destroyed the next moment. At least at this time, it is enough to listen to each other's heartbeat and feel each other's temperature.
For a long time, the two people did not give up the separation. Maya realized that Betsy wasn't coming back by herself. She was surprised and asked, ”who are these people?”
”My friend. Maya, go and prepare dinner for us. ” Betsy said with a smile.
Maya nodded happily: ”Betsy has never brought a friend back. Great, Betsy. You take these friends to the living room first. I'll prepare dinner right away. Just last night ravel gave me some wolf meat. I pickled it and it was just right for you to eat. ”
Excited to greet a few people into the room, Maya went to the kitchen busy. The living room in the room is not big, the decoration is also very ordinary, but everywhere is full of warmth. Whether it is the cloth mat woven by oneself, or the flower basket woven by oneself, or a handful of wild flowers placed in the flower basket, it shows the owner's heart everywhere. In the eyes of zero, these things are more valuable than expensive goods.
