Reverend Insanity

"The casualties have been counted. Currently, we have 137 people left, including 78 Gu masters and 59 mortals." A deputy leader reported to the public.

At this time, in this tattered tent, the surviving leaders of the caravan gathered together to discuss a way out.

The atmosphere is solemn and depressing.

Jia Long, the leader of the caravan, frowned. Hearing this, his brows almost turned into a knot.

Unexpectedly, there were only so few people left in the huge caravan that originally had thousands of people. Seventy-eight Gu Masters sounds like a lot, but there are only twelve Rank 3 Gu Masters here. There are twenty-eight rank two Gu masters, and the remaining thirty-eight are all rank one Gu masters.

From this number, the disabled must also be eliminated. In fact, less than half of them actually retain their combat power.

The lives of mortals are cheap, and those house slaves can be discarded, but the situation is different for Gu masters.

Every Gu Master is a valuable asset to the family and cannot be given up.

Although Jia Long knew that these disabled Gu Masters were a huge burden to the caravan, in order to maintain their lives and treat their injuries, the already collapsed logistics of the caravan would be even worse.

But Jia Long did not dare to give up on them. Once he gave up, morale would completely collapse, everyone in the Gu Master would be in danger, and the entire caravan would completely collapse. Their final fate will be to be swallowed up by the herd.

At this time, the deputy leader who made the report changed his subject: "The only good thing is that there is still a lot of goods left in the caravan. If the unowned goods are evenly distributed, it will be a large amount of Yuan Stone, which can Make up for our many losses.”

In the recent disaster, many people died and cargo losses were relatively small.

If distributed equally, the survivors would actually benefit.

Hearing these words, almost everyone in the tent's eyes lit up.

Businessmen pursue profit, and even if they are in danger, they have not changed this nature.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and the deputy leader Chen Shuangjin coughed: "I think there is something wrong with the equal distribution. In the battle just now, my Chen family sacrificed the most and killed the most white-feathered flying elephants. I want at least 30% of these unowned merchants." !”

"Lancheng?"

"How can it be!"

"How many sacrifices did your Chen family make? Our Yuchi family sacrificed a young hero who was at the peak of his second rank.

"

"No matter what, we need at least 20%."

Everyone was talking and gradually started to quarrel. With the current interests, no one is jealous.

It is difficult for Shang to have a kind heart, so he mingled among them and remained silent.

A strong team that wants to ask for more. The weaker party insists on equal distribution.

The quarrel became louder and louder, spreading outside the tent, attracting countless inquiring glances.

Shang Xinci suddenly stood up.

There was a sudden silence in the tent.

"Everyone." Shang Xin glanced around with kind eyes. "The most urgent thing is not these commodities, but how to survive. Maybe the beasts will arrive in the next moment! We are already ants on a rope, tied by fate. Together. However, the power of each of us is limited. Only by working together can we have hope of survival."

At this point, she paused.

"I propose that we first contribute all our respective goods and take out the items that are helpful to us. Here, on behalf of the Zhang family, I will set an example first. I voluntarily donate all the goods in my hand for free. "

"What?"

"Contribute for free?!"

For a moment, many people were stunned, and the faces of Chen Shuangshe, Jia Long and others also changed.

"I'm tired. I hope you can come up with an effective method as soon as possible. Farewell." After saying this, Shang Xinci nodded in greeting, turned around and opened the door curtain.

She took less than five steps out of the tent when a louder sound suddenly erupted inside the tent.

Now that the Zhang family's goods have been added, the benefit is even greater, making people even crazier.

Shang Xincheng slowed down his steps, clenched his fists, and sighed deeply.

She is also a businessman, so naturally she wants to pursue profits. The so-called "voluntary contribution" just now is certainly not sincere.

It's just that the situation forced her to walk beside an adult like a baby carrying a huge sum of money, and she had to protect herself.

Back in his tent, Xiaodie's eyes were red and she was huddled in the corner, crying.

She and Shang Xinci had been living together almost since they were little. The fright that the white feather flying elephant had given her just now was only now coming out.

"Xiaodie." Shang Xinci sighed secretly, sat next to her and comforted her.

"Miss, I'm so scared. Wuwuwu... Mr. Zhang Zhu has never come back. Could it be, could it be...," Xiaodie threw herself into Shang Xinci's arms and cried bitterly.

Shang Xinci patted her back and said a few words of comfort, but Xiaodie still cried.

"Xiaodie, Uncle Zhang Zhu will probably never come back." Shang Xinci said in a deep voice.

As soon as she said these words, she clearly felt Xiaodie's body tremble in her arms.

"Miss..., no, no!" Xiaodie raised her head, her eyes were red, and she kept shaking her head.

"Accept this fact, Xiaodie!" Shang Xinci suddenly shouted softly, "Now we can only rely on ourselves. Don't cry, you can't cry, crying can't solve any problems!"

"On your own? But we are all mortals. If it weren't for Zhang Zhutian, we wouldn't have been able to make this journey." Xiaodie burst into tears and was in a very depressed mood.

"That's right. If those people didn't do it for Uncle Zhang Zhu's sake, how could they have made me one of the deputy leaders. Xiaodie, you are right, we are mortals. But a few of us also have the power of mortals!" Shang Xinci said A determined light flashed in his eyes.

She stared at Xiaodie with burning eyes, held Xiaodie's arm with both hands, and shook it hard: "Xiaodie, do you believe me?"

Xiaodie looked at Shang Xinci in front of her and felt an inexplicable power.

This power originated from Shang Xinci, and then permeated her body, infecting her heart, making her feel as if she was being illuminated by light.

"Miss..." Xiaodie's eyes flashed. She had never seen such a young lady. At this moment, she felt that the young lady was more beautiful and bright than ever before.

"I believe you!" she replied softly but firmly.

"Very good, Xiaodie. Listen carefully, we are in danger. Sometimes people are scarier than beasts. Let's take all our savings and go find Black Earth and Baiyun together."

"Okay, miss, I will listen to you!"

After a cup of tea.

In the tent, Fang Yuan and Shang Xinci sat cross-legged opposite each other.

Fang Yuan looked at the beautiful woman in front of him playfully: "Did you just say that you have donated all our goods for free? To those greedy maned dogs?"

"That's it." Shang Xinci admitted frankly.

The corners of Fang Yuan's mouth curled up, his eyes filled with admiration for Shang Xinci.

What a smart man, able to give up and give up, and courageous!

Once Zhang Zhu died, Shang Xinci was just a mortal. Even if he represented the Zhang family, his status was extremely unequal to that of other deputy leaders.

It would be easy for these Gu masters to annex Shang Xinci's belongings.

Kill Shang Xinci and put the responsibility on the beasts. No one can say anything then. The Zhang family would not conduct a large-scale investigation just for a mere Shang Xinci.

Therefore, for Shang Xinci, the commercial goods in her hands have become extremely hot and can bring disaster to her.

So, she wisely gave up this trouble and left it to others, trying to ensure her own safety.

But she also deeply understood that this kind of safety was not reliable. So she came here.

"I'm here to apologize to you, Heitu. I'm very sorry." Shang Xinci bowed to Fang Yuan, "You borrowed these goods. Logically speaking, these goods belong to you. I acted very recklessly this time. and abrupt. As an apology, please accept these.”

Shang Xinci brought two wooden boxes this time.

Without opening it, Fang Yuan knew that the wooden box was filled with primeval stones.

A large part of it is earned by myself and given to the other party 50/50.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but look at Shang Xinci.

The two people's eyes collided in mid-air, and they gradually felt a sense of connection.

Both parties are smart people, and many things need not be said clearly.

In Shang Xinci's understanding, Fang Yuan deliberately concealed his identity and was most likely a Gu master. Based on his various behaviors while getting along with him, Shang Xinci felt that Fang Yuan was very reliable. If anyone can help her, Fang Yuan is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Because Shang Xinci was very reassured by Fang Yuan.

However, Shang Xinci also had concerns. First of all, she didn't know what Fang Yuan's real strength was. There was a big difference between level one, level two, and level three. Secondly, Fang Yuan must have difficulties in hiding his identity, and he may not be able to help himself by revealing his identity.

Before getting Fang Yuan's promise, Shang Xinci donated money. After having the most basic guarantee of safety, she took all her savings and came to Fang Yuan. He said he came to apologize, but in fact, he implicitly wanted to invite Fang Yuan and get his help.

She knew that Fang Yuan was the same type of person as her, and this was a tacit understanding between smart people.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Fang Yuan smiled slightly and broke the silence: "Please ask Miss Zhang family to take these Yuan stones back."

Shang Xinci's face changed slightly, and his heart suddenly sank.

In her understanding, Fang Yuan rejected these primeval stones, undoubtedly refusing to help her.

But what can she do about it?

Speaking of which, Fang Yuan has already repaid her a lot. There are very few people in the world who can do this. Shang Xinci couldn't ask for anything.

But if Kurotsuchi doesn't help her, who will? Baiyun? No, they have a close male-female relationship, so they naturally advance and retreat together.

Shang Xinci couldn't think of any other candidates. A bitter smile appeared on her beautiful face: "I understand. But these primeval stones, just think of them as my gift to you. A common man is not guilty of harboring a jade. If you don’t take it, I’m afraid I’ll have to donate it too.”

Fang Yuan laughed and said: "Miss Zhang, I think your understanding is a bit wrong. When we first joined the caravan, Bai Yun and I were seriously injured, and our lives almost hung by a thread. Our strength was reduced to the lowest, and we were still coveted by some strong slaves. Humph, it’s true that a tiger fell down and was bullied by a dog. It was you who protected us and gave us both a chance to fully recuperate. It’s not an exaggeration to say that this kindness is a life-saving favor.”

"And I am a person who must repay kindness and revenge. Although you are a mortal, I identify with you and even appreciate you. It is fate that we meet in the vast sea of ​​​​people. A drop of grace should be like a spring. Retribution. Not to mention the kindness of saving lives? If you take the Yuanshi back, I will do my best to protect you!"

"Ah,..." Shang Xinci couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice after hearing this.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes turned red, and soon they turned red.

In her vision, Fang Yuan became blurry because of tears. But in his heart, Fang Yuan's image was engraved extremely clearly.
