Chapter 2 Wild Graves(1/2)
The food given by Xintao is not delicious, it is just a big cake.
Dried, tasteless.
Of course, Zhang Xian would not ask for too much as a filler and the current situation.
After filling his stomach, Zhang Xian also recovered a lot of strength. At least he could stand up and move, and the injuries on his body didn't feel that painful.
He originally wanted to leave, but the road ahead was vast and he didn't know where to go.
And there is also Xintai. As a moral adult, Zhang Xian naturally would not do anything to leave a seven-year-old child.
But staying like this is not a solution, and my heart is too heart-willing to leave if I don’t clean up here.
"Ahem." As she thought, Zhang Xian tentatively spoke Xiang Xintai: "Are you going to clean up all the bodies here?"
"Yes." Xinta responded without looking back, dragging the corpse and said, "If these corpses are not disposed of completely, there may be an outbreak of epidemics."
What a good guy, this kid has such a high level of thinking?
"You still understand this?"
"I met it once at home when I was a child. The next village threw the body into the river and killed many people."
It turns out to be a talk of experience.
Zhang Xian is naturally a person with a conscience. Although he is a little scared, it is not reasonable to just sit and watch a child busying himself, let alone eat other people's dry food.
So he stood up and said.
"Then, I'll help you."
Xinta turned his head and looked at him, hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Hu~~" Zhang Xian took a deep breath, then held his breath and went to help.
With him joining, my heart feels much more relaxed.
“Where should I move?”
"In the woods, there is a vacant lot, just right for a grave."
The two dragged hundreds of corpses into the woods, dug a hole and buried them.
Xintao was very considerate and established a cross for them with wood.
After dealing with the bandit's body, it was already a night, and it was noon the next day.
After dawn, Zhang Xian realized that Xintai was born with brown-red hair, which was very beautiful.
This made Zhang Xian feel quite déjà. He always felt that he had seen Xintai somewhere, but he also felt that it was impossible.
He is a man from the 21st century, how could he have met the heart of this era?
But my heart seemed to be exhausted and had no intention of rest. After burying the bandits, they directly began to deal with the caravan's corpses.
Zhang Xian noticed that three corpses were very clean, they were three girls, all with pure appearance and not very old.
It can be seen that these three people are very important to their hearts. At least their dragging movements are very gentle and not so rude.
"Are these three your sisters?"
"Not sister." Xinta looked at the three of them one by one and said, "Sister Ying, Sister Qian, Sister Xia, are abducted by human traffickers like me."
"Human trafficker?" Zhang Xian was surprised: "I thought these people were your parents and relatives."
"No, my parents died of cholera last year. I met them while begging for food on the road. They thought I was valuable and originally planned to sell me, Sister Ying, Sister Xia, and Sister Qian to wealthy families as servants."
"So that's it. Let's not mention these three sisters for now, but you still buried them for the others?"
“Why not?”
Zhang Xian was asked a little strangely.
"Are they human traffickers?"
"But they didn't abuse me, they gave me food and gave me work." said heart calmly: "I am very grateful to them."
"This..." Zhang Xian's heart was immediately confused.
Tokugawa, Makuma... Is this era really so bad?
Zhang Xian didn’t know what happened, but the times were so bad that a trafficked child felt grateful to the person who abducted him?
Zhang Xian didn't know much about this era, let alone the history of other countries. His understanding was limited to the world history learned in the original history class and the descriptions in some modern works.
He only knew that this era was in turmoil and that the people were living a very hard life.
In terms of its own country, the shogunate has frequent frictions with ordinary people due to its own financial problems, and the intervention of the United States has made the situation very complicated.
But Zhang Xian doesn't know much about how complicated it is.
But at this time, if he remembered correctly in 1857, it would seem that in a few years, the anti-curve movement would begin.
However, he didn't know much about the specific process.
Just after thinking about this, Zhang Xian had to think about the significance of coming to this era.
Could it be that God wants him to participate and do something feat that will open up a new era?
Zhang Xian shook his head, knowing what he did, he was just a modern man with no power.
If you have to say that this is a great responsibility from this man, it would be more appropriate to say that it is just a prank of the God of Time Travel.
If you have a heart and think about things like some things, the key is to survive.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xian lost his sexual relations and buried his three sisters in silence.
"I'll go find something."
Xintao said a word and ran into the woods.
"Be careful."
Soon, Xin Tai moved three round stones back and placed them on the soil to serve as a tombstone.
Zhang Xian remembered the appearance of the three girls, and was still so young, and couldn't help but sigh.
After all this, it was almost evening and the sky was covered with red glow.
Zhang Xian remembered that the child hadn't eaten since last night, so he said, "Let's eat something first, Xintai."
"You eat." Xinta shook her head, then looked at the graves of the three girls and began to daze.
Zhang Xian couldn't help but step forward and pressed his shoulder. Although he didn't know if this was useful, Zhang Xian hoped that he would feel better if he did this.
Xintai turned his head in confusion first, then understood and smiled.
When he smiled, Zhang Xian felt even more disheartened and couldn't help asking.
"What are you going to do in the future?"
"I don't know." Xinta showed a confused look: "Where are you?"
Zhang Xian also looked confused when he heard this.
"I don't know either."
Xinta didn't ask much. This era is a very hard thing for two children who have nothing to do to survive.
But Zhang Xian is an adult at least, and he just said: "No matter what, let's take action first."
"Let's take action?"
"Well, although I don't know what to do, I'll go to Kyoto."
"Is Kyoto?"
"Well, although it's not very peaceful there, it's better than wandering outside anyway."
In this era, living in Kyoto and Edo is the first choice, but Edo is the base camp of the shogunate, and Zhang Xian doesn't want to go.
Although Kyoto is not very peaceful, it is definitely better than Edo as the place where the emperor is located.
"But, even if we go to Kyoto, what can we children do?" Xinta looked up at the sky: "When I met a bandit yesterday, I originally planned to protect Sister Xia and the others for my life, but they protected me instead, begged them to let me go at least because I am a child."
A single word from Xintai made this topic ten times heavier.
Zhang Xian had no position on this, so he quickly changed the subject.
"If you don't do anything big, at least you can find a restaurant to wash dishes and get enough food and clothing."
As he said that, the word "tragic" appeared on Zhang Xian's forehead.
It's miserable, it's really miserable.
It is heartbreaking for a time traveler to make a living by washing dishes.
Compared to the time traveler in the novels he has read, Zhang Xian felt so miserable that he was really shameless to call him a time traveler.
"Hey! It's not shuddering to survive!"
Zhang Xian could only comfort himself like this.
"Aren't you a bandit?" Xinta asked.
