Chapter 382 Searching for Death
Shishou did not believe that there would be such a coincidence. He even felt that Zhang Shu did not want to hide the source of the road signs when doing all this. On the contrary, Zhang Shu wanted to make Shishou realize how many blood and tears he had accompanied him all the way into the desert.
All the bones used as road signs have been strengthened, the whole body is smooth, and the joints have been reconnected. If Zhang Shu wants to, he can completely connect the broken finger, but he does not. Instead, the purpose of the broken finger is so obvious.
Although Shishou guessed Zhang Shu's purpose, he still felt pain. A small village, a small town, plus a group of child slaves and a slave trader, who paved a road with bones to guide the stone hands all the way forward. If so, it's really necessary to continue. Why don't you stop here? Since leaving Yanggu, Shishou has had the idea of giving up for the first time. He felt that he would use so many lives to save Wu Song... No, this is not a rescue. Wu Song must have his own way to survive. Zhang Shu also made it clear that Shishou's journey is mainly a witness. If so many people are going to die just to witness, no matter how great and remarkable it is, Shishou doesn't want to witness it.
The problem now is that it is not easy to go back. Shishou knows that he no longer knows the way back. The road signs will only point to the direction Zhang Shu wants Shishou to go, but will not guide the way back. The route is not a straight line, so it is meaningless to walk in the opposite direction of the road signs. And the stone hand buried almost every remains seriously out of respect for the dead along the way. How similar the sand dunes in the desert are, and it is impossible for the stone hands to find them again.
By the way, even if the stone hand does not do the burial, it only needs a gentle wind on the desert, and doubts about the sand and dust can bury all the white bones and never be found. Maybe Zhang Shu just wants to do this. He just wants Shishou to understand that if he embarks on this road, he will never turn back.
Shishou struggled for a moment, and then he chose to lie down. This time, it was not because of lack of water or exhaustion. He just wanted to come to the white bone in this way. Shishou knew that the road had not yet come to an end. According to the development of the events in front of him, the people at the gathering point where he supplemented his diet would die and then turn into a signpost. Moving forward is equivalent to continuing to kill innocent people, so that it will end with his own life.
The stone hand does not carry a knife and axe, and there are not even stones in the desert. You can break your head to understand your life. The only thing you can do is this cruel self-cutting method. Zhang Shu is also sure that no one will think in this way. Thinking of this, Shishou suddenly felt proud. He felt that he was better than Zhang Shu this time. Zhang Shu can't stop him from knowing his own life in this way.
When lying down, the stone hand feels that the desert is very quiet and the sky of the desert is also very beautiful. There is no such a complete sky in the Central Plains. The edges of the sky will be cut into pieces by various buildings or mountains and forests. Here, the desert shows the complete sky to the stone hands as much as possible. I'm afraid that the only thing in this world can compete with it is the sea.
Unfortunately, there will be no chance to go to sea in this life. Shishou lay there and could not feel the passage of life. He was inactive, his body was less consumed, and his hunger and thirst came very slowly, which turned into a way to kill his will. Shishou remembered to hear from those women that people can bite their tongues and kill themselves, but he doesn't want to try this. Through all kinds of experiences, he feels that the world of the dead should exist. If he dies by biting his tongue, he may not be able to speak there. If many lives are counted on Shishou, he will not even have a chance to refute. That's too bad. From this perspective, he is very satisfied with the current slow way of death. Although he kills his will, his bones will be extremely complete.
In such a state until the evening, Shishou finally felt hungry, but with it was not the despair of life, but the strange feeling of his stomach. In the desert, the number of stone hands toilets is much less than outside the desert, but this does not mean that they do not exist. Now lying here, I feel a stomachache and want to go to the toilet, which makes the stone hand extremely entangled.
If it's normal, just find a place to deal with it, but Shishou knows himself. As long as he moves, then he will lie for nothing on this day. He understands his willpower. After a day of grinding, there is only one breath left. As long as he goes to the toilet, he will not be in control it when he comes back. Live your own food, and the road of white bones will continue.
But it's not as good as the toilet... Shishou tries not to think about the result after that. At the speed of his hunger, some things are definitely uncontrollable before he dies. Even if you can endure death, Shishou has heard that after death, the muscles in the body will gradually relax and the urine will be eliminated. Thinking about it, I feel that this way of death is disgusting. If Zhang Shu sees it, he will definitely laugh out.
Shishou hated himself so much that he thought that after becoming a hero, his hesitation would be completely changed, but how could he know that even this awkward choice was entangled in him.
"A man actually hesitates about this kind of thing, which really makes people laugh." A voice suddenly appeared in Shishou's mind. The voice sounded like a woman, but the tone was more fierce and uncut than that of a man.
Shishou was overjoyed. He heard that people would have hallucinations before they die. If that's the case, it would be better to endure and wait for death. He felt that most of the dead could not guarantee the excretion of shit and urine before they died. After thinking about it, he was much more calm and balanced about this problem.
"Don't you even believe what you hear? Ha ha." At the end of the voice, a sneer was added.
Shishou felt a little strange. This kind of sneer is not the way he usually speaks. Normally, even if it is an illusion, it should not break away from a person's original habit.
"Who are you?" Shishou thought of such a sentence in his mind.
"I'm a crescent." The voice replied proudly.
"Who is the crescent?" Shishou has never heard of this name.
"The tiger in the stone on your back." The crescent's voice was mixed with heavy breathing, and she began to get angry.
