Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 445 Untitled

   After the most threatening bandit gang was wiped out, Shuangnaga Village ushered in a period of stability that would last for an unknown period, and the injuries of Verak and others also slowly recovered during this period.

  At the same time, they did not waste their time in vain. While learning Menglege language and culture as much as possible, they explained the concept of equality to the villagers.

In order to allow everyone to better understand the pursuit of the International Equality Alliance and what the future world should be like, Verac did not copy the more complicated parts of "Theory of Equality" and "Theory of Class", but described it in the most simple and understandable words. A whole new world.

  The villagers could easily imagine such scenes in their minds.

   It's just that when Veraker encouraged everyone to imagine for themselves as much as possible, everyone couldn't think of anything anymore.

  The body and mind have been imprisoned for a long time, so that the boundaries they can explore are pitifully small.

   But it doesn't matter.

  Verak and the others will help them broaden their boundaries sooner or later, making them realize how big the world is and how big their possibilities are.

   "Comrades, come to eat." Ten days later, Margarita, who was already familiar with several people and was even used to calling them "comrades", brought hot food.

  Villac, Murphy, and Connie were being surrounded by more than a dozen villagers, big and small, asking about interesting things that happened outside.

   "Thank you." Verak took the food and distributed it to the other two.

   Today's lunch is still no suspense, it is the main local tuber crop, cassava.

   As for meat, it mainly depends on what the villagers can catch. Anyway, in the past ten days, Verak and the others have already eaten no less than seven or eight kinds of strange animal meat.

   "If there is a chance in the future, can you let us see the projector and the movie?" A child squatting in front of the three asked sincerely with his eyes shining.

"Of course." Veraker stepped up to learn Montrego for another ten days, but such a conversation was still too difficult, so after listening to Murphy's translation, he replied, "Maybe you don't even need to wait for us to come back. , you have already seen those novel things."

   "He used to be a photographer." Murphy introduced Verak's past identity to the villagers.

  The villagers exclaimed.

  Actually, they still don’t quite understand what a photographer does, but it’s what Verac once did, so it must be very powerful.

  Verak barely understood this sentence, smiled and waved: "Nothing."

"Don't bother the comrades to eat, come back after eating." At this time, the village chief Bernardino came over, drove away the villagers who still wanted to hear interesting stories, and won the space for Verak and others to eat with peace of mind. files.

   "Village Chief." Verak greeted.

   "How's your body?" The village head seemed to be in a good mood these days.

  Although the villagers suffered heavy casualties in the previous ambush, it was all worth it for the long-term stability of the village.

   Let alone someone else, even if he dies, the village chief is willing.

   "It's much better. We plan to set off in a few days." Verak's injury is mostly healed, and it won't affect his journey.

   "I'm fine too." Murphy deliberately stood up and walked a few steps slowly, proving that he was recovering well. "Fortunately, the trap wasn't caught too deep."

   "Are you going to leave so soon?" The village chief was a little used to the three of them living in the village.

  The three of them easily got along with the villagers, and during this time they were very popular among the villagers. If you really want to leave, it is estimated that many people will not give up.

  Verak ate the food: "If you leave one day earlier, you can make preparations for the establishment of the branch station one day earlier. This is also a consideration for the village and the entire Montrego."

"I support all your decisions." The village chief is very clear that he can't interfere with Verak's thoughts, not to mention that it is really useless to let them stay in the village for a few more days. It is better to leave whenever you want, as they As said, change Montrego as soon as possible.

"Isn't there still a group of bandits around here? You must be careful in the future. They may give up plundering because of the increased strength of the Double Naga Village, or they may regard this place as the first place to attack in order to completely prevent future troubles." Verak Kindly exhorted.

"Don't worry, I've been sending someone to keep an eye on it." The life and death of the whole village is at stake, how could the village chief let go of his vigilance easily, "I don't have to worry about the food problem for a long time, and I can better spare energy to deal with the possible coming attack."

   "We discussed it and decided to leave you with three guns. This trip came in a hurry, and these are the only things that can help you and the village." Verak and the others discussed this decision two days ago.

  At first, they were equipped with two weapons in order to better protect themselves.

  Looking at it now, it would be more valuable to keep the other three in the village. Each of them has one for self-defense.

  The village head wanted to say a lot, but in the end he just said thank you clumsily.

   Another two days passed, and the physical condition was further consolidated. Verac felt that he could not stay any longer. After confirming that Murphy had the ability to travel, they began to pack their things and prepare to set off, continuing to move towards the city of Montrego.

"You can go southeast along this road for about two or three days, and you will see a small town. But there is no train station in that small town. If you want to get to Montrego quickly, you have to go to a bigger city , but I don't know how to get to a bigger city..." When the three of them set off, the village head and a large group of villagers crowded around to see them off. The gangsters. Those gangsters don’t kill people, but you can’t go on if your money and weapons are robbed..."

   "Okay, I understand, we made a note..." Verak nodded seriously.

"The road here is very difficult to walk. If you are not careful, you will easily lose your way. When you go, you can make marks along the way. If you can't do it, you can go back, or I will arrange someone to lead the way." The village took a large group of people out of the village almost quickly. With a distance of one kilometer, there is no intention of stopping.

   Rare guests make them pay special attention.

   "Don't bother, we can do it ourselves." The three of Veraker can do things easily. If they bring another villager, they will go back by themselves, and the road will be even more dangerous.

   "Take some more food to eat on the way, as well as these herbs, which are very useful when bitten by insects or something." The village chief rarely showed a feeling of rambling.

  Verak and the others collected the things dumbfounded: "Let's send it here, everyone has worked hard to take care of us during this time."

   "It's not a few steps, let's go."

   "That's right, I'll give you an extra trip, it's close to our village anyway."

   "You must come back to see us in the future."

  The villagers were chattering wildly.

   "Then come here." The village chief stretched out his hand and stopped the villagers rushing forward.

   "Thank you." Verak searched all over his body, but couldn't find anything suitable to give to the village chief. "Next time I come, I will bring you many things."

   "Okay, we are waiting for you." The village chief smiled.

  Verak, Murphy, and Connie stood still, and turned to look at the villagers who had developed feelings in just a short time.

There, there was Margaret who took care of them day and night, there was a good hunter who could catch whatever meat they wanted to eat the next day, some clamored to become children like them in the future, and there were countless others. Countless kind villagers.

   This is only the first stop of Verac's trip.

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

  Murphy and Connie spoke to the villagers.

  Verak hopes to have a camera at this moment and take a photo with the villagers: "We're leaving, goodbye."

"goodbye."

"goodbye."

  The villagers talked one after another.

  Villac, Murphy, and Connie said their goodbyes, and under the watchful eyes of the villagers, they rushed along the rugged path towards the small town adjacent to the southeast.

  Whether there is a train in that small town is not important, what is important is whether there are newspapers and other information available, and whether they can go to other stations to get in touch.

  Today is October 7th. They stayed in the village for almost half a month, and there was no news for half a month, which was enough to make the comrades in the sub-station worry.

   "Tell me, what does it look like outside now?" Murphy asked Veraker.

  Before they came, a large-scale world war had just ended. The reconstruction of the world order, the emerging powers joining forces to challenge the established countries, and compete for greater interests, all of these are very likely to happen within half a month.

  The most important thing is how far the International Equality League's main station has fought against the Bresci government forces.

   It was all the way to regain the city and drive the government troops back to Joseph County, but it is still in a stalemate.

   Half a month is enough for them to make substantial progress, right?

"I don't know." Verac is not good at this, and the current world environment is more chaotic than Montrego himself, so it is even more difficult to have a reliable estimate, "No need If you think about it so much, you will know it when you get there.”

   "Yeah." Murphy inadvertently walked in the front, his whole body was full of momentum.

   "Are you okay?" Seeing this, Connie smiled at Verak.

   "I'm fine." Verak quickened his pace and followed Murphy, "Don't forget the village chief's instructions, always pay attention to the surrounding environment and be careful of bandits."

   "Understood." Connie's eyes became sharper.

  Murphy walked faster after hearing this, as if deliberately putting a distance away from Veraker and Connie: "I'll go ahead to find the way, it's dangerous, and you have time to react."

   "Be careful." Verak didn't stop him.

   After finally setting off, there is something he can do. An impatient person like Murphy must give full play to his strength, otherwise he will become more and more anxious after holding it in for so long.

  Connie learned from the previous experience, and began to learn how to stay behind and protect the safety behind Verak: "No matter what this time, if there is danger, you must leave first, and we will hold the enemy."

   "Okay, okay." Verak responded perfunctorily.

   If there is a dangerous situation like when there is a misunderstanding with the villagers, as the oldest leader, of course he can't do what he wants to escape first.

  Even if such a scene happened again, he would still push the two of them away without hesitation, leaving himself at the end.

"I'm telling you this matter very seriously." Connie emphasized, "This is the task entrusted to me by Chairman Boyne. I have already made a major negligence before, which caused you to be injured. I will never No more."

"I don't have anyone to protect anyone here." Veraker didn't care about Boyne's arrangement, "It doesn't mean that absolute equality must be implemented. If it is changed to the terminus, if there is a dangerous situation, all of us are willing to use it." My own life guarantees the safety of Chairman Boin, but here is different, anyone's sacrifice will be a heavy blow, so the three of us can only deal with the danger that may arise at any time by twisting together and uniting as one, regardless of you and me."

   "That doesn't always allow you to protect us." Connie isn't that easy to fool.

   "Isn't this just one danger?" Verak pointed forward, deliberately diverting the topic, "The weather is fine, let's hurry up to avoid rain."

  Connie looked helplessly at Veraker's trotting back, clutched the gun tightly, and scanned the surroundings.

  Finally, it took three days, and the three of them arrived at the small town mentioned by the village chief without any risk.

  The small town is called Finta City, and its scale is two circles smaller than the small border city of Zward, where Verak used to live.

  It is quite lively inside, the streets are full of villagers from nearby, selling animal skins, herbs, grain, wild fruits and other things in exchange for other supplies.

  There are many patrols full of murderous spirit in the city, deterring criminals.

   "It seems that we have finally reached the area ruled by Antonio." Verak looked at the militiamen with live ammunition and relaxed.

  Shuangnaga Village nominally belonged to the warlord Antonio, but Antonio didn't look down on this kind of backcountry at all, so he ignored the villagers' demands to suppress bandits.

   Only the small town in front of me can be regarded as Antonio's territory if it has armed forces and maintains basic order.

"Let's go, go in and find a place to stay, and then check if there are any newspapers or something, and then find a way to get in touch with the sub-station." You can't eat cooked food on the road, and you can't sleep well. Such a small town is very suitable for a rest. Lark stopped hesitating and walked forward.

   "Stop!" The militiamen in front of the small town stopped the three of them and began to question them.

  Murphy answered calmly, and after paying a small fee for entering the city, he entered Fanta City smoothly.

  After asking passers-by, they soon came to a hotel. Not only to pretend to be poor, to avoid being missed by caring people, but also to take care of each other, the three of them only opened a room to live in.

   "I asked the waiter to order the latest newspapers, and I ordered three meals by the way, and they should be delivered later." Entering the room, Murphy, who was in charge of dealing with the locals of Montrego, sat down and said.

   "See if we can find a way to get in touch with the substation. If not, let's take a break and leave for a bigger city." Verak habitually came to the window, carefully understanding the surrounding terrain.

  Connie, as Veraker's guard, also inspected the environment of the room in a decent manner.

   "Understood, I'll inquire after dinner." Murphy agreed.

   Soon, the waiter brought a three-point low-quality lunch and a recent Salaba State Daily.
