After the Doudou Fei incident, Miao Zhen observed for a few more days and found that Qu Chenglin was not a dangerous person at all.
He wanders around the tribe with a rope every day, and then writes slogans on the walls with charcoal strips.
The general content is, "Those who intend to hang themselves can come to Qu Chenglin to borrow hemp rope." '
'Have children now, eat them later. Refusing to have a baby starts with never going to bed. '
The aggressiveness is extremely low, not even spreading negative energy.
People passing by took it for granted and were on good terms with him, so they greeted him with a smile.
Occasionally, children would come over to join in the fun. Qu Chenglin would look around and make sure there were no adults, then play with them.
He did have the idea of destroying the world, but he never had the heart to kill people.
He had no choice but to persuade him to die one by one. When everyone was hanged, he could commit suicide with peace of mind.
What Miao Zhen was more concerned about was Qu Chenglin's unusual behavior.
A few days later, he saw Qu Chenglin sleepwalking again, standing in front of a house surnamed Liu and crying.
Qu Chenglin cried very sadly, while Miao Zhen stood aside and watched.
After watching for a while, I really couldn't help but raised my hand to wipe his tears.
At night, the world's temperatures become cooler than during the day.
Qu Chenglin's body was trembling, and he didn't know whether it was because he was cold or because he was crying.
Miao Zhen wiped away his tears and reached out to hug him.
Qu Chenglin, who was sleepwalking, did not respond. He still stood where he was, but his body was not as cold anymore.
A few minutes later, Qu Chenglin walked home by himself.
Miao Zhen followed him and didn't stop until she saw him getting into bed safely.
It can be seen from the map that he is having a nightmare, and Miao Zhen is going to use the [Huangliang Yimeng] card on him to help him improve his sleep condition.
But before he could make a move, the world suddenly shook violently.
Miao Zhen was unprepared and was shaken back and forth.
The system was awakened, and he came out holding the pillow and looking around, [Good guy, can there be an earthquake? 】
Even a pig should be shaken awake by this movement.
The black bubbles above the villain's head exploded with a pop. Qu Chenglin opened his eyes and sat up in confusion.
When he turned around and saw a large living person next to him, he was so frightened that he grabbed the rope and wanted to strangle himself to death before the enemy killed him.
Miao Zhen thought he was not sitting firmly, so he grabbed him to prevent him from falling off the bed.
Recognizing that the person in front of him was Miao Zhen, Qu Chenglin's face started to heat up again.
It was too dark and Miao Zhen didn't notice this change.
There was gradually a commotion outside. Miao Zhen was afraid that the house would be shaken down, so he pulled Qu Chenglin and ran outside.
Qu Chenglin was just a little sleepy and his brain was a little slow. After he realized what he was doing, he immediately turned his back on the guest, picked up Miao Zhen with one hand and ran outside in a few steps.
Suddenly being carried like a sack, Miao Zhen blinked in confusion.
The system hiccupped and took a screenshot as a souvenir.
Everyone in the tribe was standing outside, and Brother Miao was leading the escort to maintain order.
Miao's mother counted the numbers and found that one child was missing. She started to get anxious when she saw Qu Chenglin carrying Miao Zhen out from a distance.
Seeing that everyone was fine, she helped her husband check the tribe's population.
Qu Chenglin did not put Miao Zhen down. He was still thinking about the embarrassing things he had done in front of Miao Zhen. Just now he was anxious to carry Miao Zhen out, but now he plans to embarrass Miao Zhen as well.
He slapped Miao Zhen's butt, originally just to humiliate him, but he didn't expect that his butt had quite a lot of flesh.
Qu Chenglin couldn't hold it back and rubbed it again.
Miao Zhen had no reaction, just like a sack.
Just when Qu Chenglin was about to pat him again, Brother Miao, who was maintaining order, seemed to sense something and turned around suddenly.
Qu Chenglin paused, put Miao Zhen back on the ground, and mocked, "Little short legs, when you run out, the house will collapse."
Before he finished speaking, the crumbling hut behind him collapsed with a bang.
Qu Chenglin was stunned for a moment, and the system clicked his tongue and shook his head, [What he says is what he says, he is a character. 】
Miao Zhen arranged the messy clothes, held his shoulders, and said softly: "Don't be sad, you can stay at my house first. I also have some crystal stones here that I can lend you to buy materials to build a house."
There were so many houses around, but only Qu Chenglin's house collapsed. There was no emotion on his face, but he was still quite sad in his heart.
His mother's house is right next to his, and it's still fine, with no problems at all.
Qu's mother was still worried about where her son would live after the house collapsed. When she heard Miao Zhen speak, she pressed Qu Chenglin and asked him to bow deeply to Miao Zhen.
"You stinky kid, why don't you thank others for helping you!"
Her family was poor and there was nothing to be worried about. Now that the leader's son took the initiative to express his kindness, she was happy before it was too late and directly helped Qu Chenglin accept it.
Qu Chenglin was forced to bow by his mother, with great reluctance on his face.
But he was thinking about why Miao Zhen appeared on his bed in the middle of the night.
Their relationship wasn't very good. Qu Chenglin had done so many embarrassing things in front of him, and he thought Miao Zhen would laugh at him behind his back.
Qu Chenglin put himself in his shoes and thought that if the house collapsed, it would be Miao Zhen.
He would definitely run to the ruins and step on them a few times, then point at Miao Zhen and taunt him until he made people cry.
Thinking of this, Qu Chenglin's train of thought began to go astray.
He looked at Miao Zhen's eyes and wondered if Miao Zhen would open his eyes when he started crying.
This inexplicable earthquake caused no damage to the Maotuan tribe. No one was injured and only a few houses collapsed.
Miao's father temporarily settled the homeless man, and when he saw that Miao Zhen was willing to take Qu Chenglin in, he patted his head happily.
My son has grown up and knows how to help the tribe share the pressure.
Qu Chenglin and Miao Zhen officially live together.
In the evening, Qu Chenglin handed the rope to Miao Zhen and asked him to tie it up for him.
There were also shallow marks on his body made by the rope. Miao Zhen stared at the shallow marks for a while and said, "No need for a rope, I will watch you. It doesn't matter if you sleepwalk."
Then, he saw Qu Chenglin's face suddenly turned red.
"You know I sleepwalk?" he whispered.
Miao Zhen nodded, and Qu Chenglin blushed even more, "Then you also saw me running out to cry at night?"
Miao Zhen was not good at lying, so he chose to remain silent.
Qu Chenglin threw the rope aside, got under the quilt and pretended to be dead.
【Ah ah ah! ] The system screamed in despair: [You are a black male protagonist, why are you so shy? Get up and stand up! 】
In fact, Miao Zhen understood Qu Chenglin quite well. After all, they were both people who had experienced social death.
He patted the quilt and whispered: "It's okay, it's not embarrassing."
Qu Chenglin huddled under the quilt and muttered: "Go and commit suicide, the rope is over there."
Then he was dug out by Miao Zhen, who patted and coaxed him gently.
Qu Chenglin gritted his teeth and endured it. In the middle of the night, he jumped out of the window and fled home, where he made a bed on the floor of his mother's house.
After that, he refused to live with Miao Zhen anymore.
Thinking that Qu Chenglin always sleepwalked to the house named Liu, Miao Zhen guessed that there might be a hidden person in that house.
Miao Zhen went to inquire about it privately, and found out that a mother and daughter lived in that house, both working as female workers in a twine factory.
Miao Zhen always felt that there would be clues on them, so he hid nearby and watched.
Within two days he was asked to seize an opportunity.
That day, Lao Liu sprained his leg and asked for leave. After Xiao Liu left home, Miao Zhen took out a woolen bag from his small box, put two fruits in it, and ran over to bring warmth to Lao Liu.
Old Liu seemed to be a woman in her forties, and she was completely defenseless against the leader's family. Seeing that Miao Zhen was here to deliver fruit, he opened the door and let him in.
Miao Zhen stayed at Lao Liu's house to chat with her after delivering the fruit.
There is no entertainment life in the tribe, and chatting is one of the few pastimes.
Lao Liu happened to have nothing to do, and she was very happy to have Miao Zhen talking to her.
From Lao Liu's mouth, Miao Zhen learned that she also had a daughter, but she had passed away a long time ago.
Miao Zhen realized that this might be a clue, but neither "full of grievances" nor "uneasy conscience" showed any reaction to Lao Liu.
Looking at the relaxed woman in front of him, Miao Zhen guessed that she might have a story of her own, but she had let it go now and would no longer have any emotional fluctuations due to this matter.
It seems that I need to pick an opportunity and try to investigate Xiao Liu.
————
The heroine Jiang Mingshu is still staying at home and cannot come out. Every day, people from the shrine come to do ideological work for her, trying to make her regard her status as a sacrifice as an honor.
The shrine guards were guarding outside, and Miao Zhen had been unable to contact Jiang Mingshu.
The villain Geng Yunian is the priest of the shrine, which is next to the sacred pillar in the center of the world.
The Maotuan tribe is far away from the sacred pillar, and it takes two days and one night to get there.
The map is too big and there is no transportation. Miao Zhen has not been there yet.
He hung out with Qu Chenglin for a few days, and the two had many friendly exchanges, and Qu Chenglin's attitude towards him improved a lot.
The further you get to the back, the easier it is to blush when you see him.
As soon as Miao Zhen woke up that day, Qu Chenglin came in through the window and asked him to go out and write slogans together.
The Mao Tuan tribe is in short supply of fabric, and no one has underwear.
While Miao Zhen was getting dressed, Qu Chenglin was waiting beside him with his arms folded.
His eyes wandered around, staring at Miao Zhen for a few times, then he coughed lightly and said with a blush, "Little brat."
Miao Zhen didn't care, since he had no chance to use this thing anyway, it didn't matter if it was small or not.
Qu Chenglin seemed to be in a good mood today. He held a small piece of charcoal and wrote while saying, "Did you know that the Butuan tribe seems to have grown to more than 300 people."
Miao Zhen moved his hands and said, "I remember that our tribe only has more than a hundred people."
"To be precise, there are 98 people." Qu Chenglin gestured with his hand, "There are still a few that are just babies. They eat milk but not food."
The system took Qu Chenglin's villain out of the map and shook it back and forth in a state of collapse, [You unworthy thing! 】
The system has been crashing during this period. Miao Zhen was worried at first, but now he is used to it.
At the mention of the baby, Qu Chenglin's lifeless eyes began to shine.
After the system vented its anger, he threw the Qu Chenglin villain away, and the villain fell to the ground with a splat.
Seeing this, the villain Miao Zhen standing nearby ran over to help the villain up, then walked back to his post and stood up.
The character Qu Chenglin staggered back, picked up the charcoal strips and ropes that fell on the ground, and continued to play Qu Chenglin.
Miao Zhen looked at it in confusion. He squinted his eyes to cover the doubts in his eyes. Qu Chenglin, who was talking, didn't notice anything unusual.
"Our tribe still has plenty of food." Qu Chenglin said, "But the Butuan tribe is definitely overpopulated, and many people are going to starve."
Miao Zhen thought about it and said, "The food is okay, I'm mainly worried about not having enough water."
Qu Chenglin sneered and tilted his head arrogantly, "Like I said, the world will eventually perish."
Miao Zhen raised his hand and hit him on the head. Qu Chenglin was hurt by the beating, so he covered his head and threatened him, "I'm going to kill you, you little brat who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."
Miao Zhen couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. She looked at him kindly, as if looking at a child acting coquettishly.
Qu Chenglin's face turned red, he threw Miao Zhen to the ground, put his hand into his clothes, and scratched his itchy flesh.
The two of them were rolling on the ground and fighting. Miao Zhen protected the back of Qu Chenglin's head with his hands while Qu Chenglin acted unilaterally.
When the fuss was enough, Qu Chenglin sat on Miao Zhen's waist and strangled his neck with both hands, with a vicious expression on his face.
He was very good at pretending to be mean. The system peeked in to watch the excitement and almost thought he was really going to strangle Miao Zhen to death.
But after a while, Qu Chenglin leaned over Miao Zhen's neck, laughed softly, and kept holding on to Miao Zhen's neck.
The hot breath of his breath fell on Miao Zhen's skin, and the person on his body carried the unique vitality of a young man. This youthful atmosphere made Miao Zhen happy.
Qu Chenglin turned over and lay down next to Miao Zhen, "There are too few people in our tribe. The Butuan tribe wants to rob the resources here, and we have no chance of victory."
"Why are there so many people in the Butuan tribe?" Miao Zhen asked.
Qu Chenglin has been paying attention to the changes in the world. Whenever a world merchant enters the tribe, he will ask them for news about other tribes.
"The Butuan tribe is a warrior tribe. Because their resources are limited, they want to snatch other people's resources to develop themselves. Fighting requires people, and they may plan to rely on the human sea tactic to snatch everyone's water pillars and Tianci Terrace. Anyway, after taking over the whole world , their resources must be enough to feed the entire tribe."
He paused and began to show off his rich intelligence, "Except for the Bu Tuan tribe, which is developing like crazy, there are not many other tribes. We only have more than a hundred people here, and the Glass tribe is even smaller than us. I don't know the Wise Man tribe. I understand, they live on the edge of the world and don't interact with any tribes. I don't know how many people there are now. They are a mysterious group of people."
"Is there an end to the world?" Miao Zhen turned to look at him.
"Well, I haven't traveled that far. I heard from wandering businessmen that the end of the world is a high wall, with no end visible, connected to the sky." After Qu Chenglin finished speaking, he looked at the sky and murmured: " In fact, I have always wondered whether the world is just a big box, and whether there is another bigger world outside the box. "
They didn't chat for long when the tribe suddenly became commotion.
Dad Miao, who went to a tribal leaders' meeting two days ago, came back. He was seriously injured and had a big hole in his abdomen.
Brother Miao supported him. According to his description, the escort team that went out with Dad Miao was completely wiped out.
It was a trap. The Butuan tribe used the excuse to discuss major issues of human survival, surrounded and massacred the leaders who participated in the meeting, and launched a war against the other three tribes.
The Wise Tribe did not send a representative there. The Glass Tribe was peace-loving and not good at fighting. The female leader did not resist for long and died on the spot.
The guard captain, Brother Miao, led his men to resist desperately and sent his brother and father out.
Miao's mother went up to meet her and found that Brother Miao, who had gone out with her husband, had not come back. She immediately understood what had happened and almost fell to the ground.
Miao Zhen hugged her, and Miao's mother covered her face and cried.
There are no medical supplies in this world. Miao's father didn't struggle for long, but he died because of excessive blood loss.
Including the Miao family, the Maotuan tribe lost a total of 12 warriors this time, and the news that the war was about to start came back.
The entire tribe fell into grief.
Miao Zhen followed his two brothers and was busy handling tribal affairs.
Qu Chenglin saw signs of the destruction of the world, but he didn't want the people in Mao Tuan to die without even a complete corpse. The slogans on the walls were changed to, 'Unite and fight against the Communist Party'. ', 'Defending Mao Tuans starts with you and me. '
Brother Miao was responsible for managing the tribe's logistics. He called Miao Zhen and his eldest brother in to discuss matters.
Miao's mother suddenly lost her husband and a son, and now she is extremely sad.
Qu Chenglin, who was writing slogans outside, was stopped by someone. When he looked back, he found that it was his little friend's mother.
Mother Miao looked dazed and pointed at the slogan written by Qu Chenglin before, "Suicide?"
This was the first time someone came to Qu Chenglin to commit suicide. Qu Chenglin couldn't help but feel excited.
Just as he was about to take out the rope, he remembered that this was Miao Zhen's mother.
He struggled for half a second, holding the rope and shaking his head, "It's gone, it's gone."
Mother Miao didn't say anything and left in a hurry.
Qu Chenglin stamped his feet impatiently and followed him furtively.
Brother Miao San is discussing matters with the last two members of his family.
"Not counting babies and children, there are a total of 89 people available in the tribe. Among them, 46 are male members, 12 died, and 34 are left." Brother Miao wiped the small iron block, "Once the war breaks out, The population gap is too big, and we definitely have no chance of victory, so I plan to take all the food I can and go to the edge of the world to join the Wise Tribe."
"They may not accept us over there." Brother Miao shook his head, "It's better to find the Glass Tribe Alliance. If the two tribes unite, we may still be able to fight."
He paused and asked: "There was no warning before, so why did the war suddenly start?"
Brother Miao's face instantly darkened, and he coughed lightly: "At first we were discussing how to deal with the population and resource issues, but the solution proposed by the Bu Tuan leader was too excessive, and we couldn't accept it."
"What can we do?" Brother Miao said in a deep voice.
Brother Miao said vaguely: "Keep the young adults and use the rest as food rations."
The room was very quiet, Brother Miao tapped his fingers on the table, "What are the rest?"
"Women and children."
Brother Miao slapped the table, "Nonsense!"
Miao Zhen didn't speak, he was reading the original text.
The first half of the original article mainly talks about the process of the male and female protagonists meeting and falling in love.
They are all from the Mao Tuan tribe.
According to the description in the book, it can be seen that the Mao Tuan is still stationed in the original place.
Until the end of the article, the Mao TuanTribe and the Glass Tribe have appeared a lot.
There is no mention of war in the text.
Because it is positioned as a romance, it focuses on the love between Jiang Mingshu and Qu Chenglin, and their discussions about life and gods.
At least on the surface, that's what it looks like.
However, this book is defined as a soft science fiction romance, and the whole text does not involve many science fiction elements.
I think it's more like a primitive society than a science fiction world.
In the story that the male and female protagonists experienced, they were fighting against the shrine throughout the whole process, and there was no tribal war.
It can be seen that according to the direction of the original text, the war did not start in the end.
The book is very long, and Miao Zhen needs to study it carefully.
After discussion, the eldest brother and the third brother decided to send people to contact the two tribes respectively to strive for an alliance and find a way out.
The main reason I called Miao Zhen in was to let him know about the Mao Tuan situation.
If one day they both die in battle, Mao Tuan will be taken care of by his younger brother Miao Zhen.
The brothers left worriedly, and the people at the shrine also left at some point.
Jiang Mingshu was finally able to come out of the house. From the map, she could see that the hero and heroine had already met.
Miao Zhen returned to his small room and read the original text carefully.
The system also follows the probe.
After watching it for the third time, Miao Zhen discovered the problem.
"How come in the later period, there is no trace of the Butuan tribe again?"
The system looked at the original text and said, "It seems that it has never been mentioned before."
In the original text, Bu Tuan last appeared in such a scene.
[There was a fire in the distance. Qu Chenglin looked over and saw that it seemed to be in the direction of the Butuan tribe. Jiang Mingshu sat next to him, quietly looking at the light in the distance, thinking that before long, she would also be engulfed in flames. A few days later, there was a flood in the world. Adults called it rain. Qu Chenglin had never seen anything like this before. This was the first rain in the world. 】
[You can get so much water without going to the water column, and the rain soaked their clothes. Qu Chenglin looked at Jiang Mingshu. If it rained so heavily again on the day of the sacrifice, would it mean that the gods did not want her to die? 】
Miao Zhen hissed, "The Butuan tribe was burned by fire?" '
【possible. 】
'But why does it suddenly rain here? '
[You are afraid that you are embarrassing my little system. :D]
