„Casualties counted, at present our also remaining 137 people, Gu Master 78 people, mortal 59.” A vice- leader reports to say in the presence of everyone. “伤亡统计出来了,目前我们还剩下137人,其中蛊师78人,凡人59位。”一位副首领当众汇报道。 At this time, in this tattered tent, the leaders of caravan survival assembles in together, discusses the outlet together. 此时,在这个破烂的帐篷内,商队幸存的头领都集结在一起,共同商讨出路。 The atmosphere is dignified and depressing. 氛围凝重而且压抑。 Caravan leader Jia Long deeply frowns, heard until here, the brow almost twisted a lump. 商队首领贾龙眉头紧锁,听到这里,眉头几乎拧成了一个疙瘩。 The huge caravan of original over a thousand people of scale, cannot think that remaining such has only selected the person. 70 eight Gu Master sound Man Duo, but Rank 3 Gu Master, only then 12 present. Rank 2 Gu Master has 28, remaining 38 are Rank 1 Gu Master. 原先上千人规模的庞大商队,想不到已经只剩下这么点人。70八蛊师听起来蛮多的,但是三转蛊师,只有在座的十二位。二转蛊师有28位,剩下的38位都是一转蛊师。 In this quantity, but must reject the invalid. In fact, retains battle strength truly, only the remaining half are less. 在这个数量上,还要剔除掉伤残者。实际上,真正还保留战力的,只剩下一半不到。 Every human life is inexpensive, these house slaves can discard, but Gu Master was different. 凡人命贱,那些家奴可以舍弃,但是蛊师就不同了。 Each Gu Master, is the family valuable wealth, is impossible to give up. 每一个蛊师,都是家族宝贵的财富,不可能放弃。 Although Jia Long knows, these disabled Gu Master to the caravan, is a giant burden, to maintain their lives, treats their injuries, caravan originally will certainly have one misfortune after another on collapse logistics. 虽然贾龙知道,这些伤残蛊师对商队来讲,是一个巨大的包袱,为了维持他们的生命,治疗他们的伤势,商队原本就崩溃的后勤必将雪上加霜。 However Jia Long actually does not dare to give up them, once gives up, the morale will break up thoroughly, the Gu Master everybody feels insecure, the entire caravan will give way thoroughly. Their final fates, will be embezzled by beast group. 但是贾龙却不敢放弃他们,一旦放弃,士气将彻底崩解,蛊师人人自危,整个商队将彻底垮掉。他们最终的下场,将是被兽群吞没。 At this time, reported vice- leader thread of conversation Rank 1(turn): „Only fortunately, the cargo of caravan also remaining many. The merchandising equal distributions of these derelictions, is big primeval stones, can make up for our loss.” 这时,作汇报的副首领话锋一转:“唯一值得庆幸的是,商队的货物还剩下不少。将那些无主的商货平均分配下来,将是一大笔的元石,可以弥补我们许多损失。” Many that in just disaster, the person died, the cargo lost are few. 刚刚的灾难中,人死的多,货物损失较少。 If the equal distributions, the survivor instead can therefore profit. 如果平均分配,幸存者反而能因此受益。 Hears these words, in the tent almost all people at present one bright. 听到这句话,帐篷中几乎所有人都眼前一亮。 The merchants chase the advantage, even if they place the dangerous situation, has not changed this natural disposition. 商人逐利,哪怕他们身处险境,也没有改变这个本性。 People look at each other in dismay, vice- leader Chen Shuangjin has coughed: „Equal distributions, I think somewhat improper. Just that war, my Chen Family sacrificed many, cuts White Feathered Flying Elephant that killed to be also most. Merchandising of these derelictions, I at least want 30%!” 众人面面相觑了一阵,副首领陈双金咳嗽一声:“平均分配,我觉得有些不妥。刚刚那战,我陈家牺牲最多,斩杀的白羽飞象也最多。这些无主的商货,我至少要三成！” „30%?” “三成？” „How possible!” “怎么可能！” „Your Chen Family sacrifice are many? My Yuchi family/home had sacrificed Rank 2 peak youth outstanding.” “你们陈家牺牲多？我尉迟家牺牲了一位二转巅峰的青年俊杰呢。” „No matter what, we stop the family/home at least to want 20%.” “不管怎么说,我们止家至少得要两成。” ...... The people talked at once, quarrelled gradually. Benefit current, nobody is not jealous. ……众人七嘴八舌,渐渐争吵起来。利益当前,没有人不眼红的。 Only has Shang Xinci, mixes with among them, keeps silent. 唯有商心慈,夹杂在他们当中,默不作声。 The powerful team, hopes that requests more. A strength small and weak side, then perseverance equal distributions. 实力强大的队伍,希望要求更多。实力弱小的一方,则坚持平均分配。 The quarrel sound is getting bigger and bigger, spreads outside tent, brings in the vision of innumerable inquiry. 争吵声越来越大,传出帐篷外,引来无数打探的目光。 Shang Xinci stands up suddenly. 商心慈忽然站起身来。 In tent suddenly one static. 帐篷中陡然一静。 „everyone.” The Shang Xinci beautiful pupil takes a fast look around, „urgent matter, is not these merchandises, how should go on living. Perhaps beast group will arrive in a moment later! We are grasshopper on a rope, by destiny hitch in one. However each of our strength is limited, then only then crosses a river in a boat together, can have the hope of returning alive.” “诸位。”商心慈美眸扫视一圈,“当务之急,不是这些商货,还是该怎么活下去。也许兽群在下一刻就将到来！我们已经是一根绳上的蚂蚱,被命运栓在了一起。然而我们每个人的力量有限,接下来只有同舟共济,才能有生还的希望。” spoke until here, her paused for a moment. 说到这里,她顿了一顿。 „I proposed, first contributes our respective merchandising, takes out to our helpful goods. Here, I represent Zhang Family, first is a model. I voluntarily in all cargos hand, free contribution.” “我提议,先将我们各自的商货都贡献出来,取出其中对我们有帮助的物品。在这里,我代表张家,先做一个表率。我自愿将手中所有的货物,都无偿的贡献出来。” „What?” “什么？” „Free contribution?!” “无偿的贡献出来？！” Suddenly, many people have been shocked, Chen Shuangjin, Jia Long and the others on the faces also fluctuates erratically. 一时间,许多人都惊呆了,陈双金、贾龙等人的脸上也变幻不定。 „I was tired, hoping everyone can discuss as soon as possible, effective method. Said goodbye.” Then, the Shang Xinci nod expressed best wishes, turns around to lift the curtain. “我累了,希望诸位能尽快地商讨出,行之有效的方法。告辞。”说完,商心慈点头致意,转身掀开了门帘。 She goes out of the tent not to arrive at five steps, in the tent erupts a higher voice suddenly. 她走出帐篷不到五步,帐篷内陡然爆发出更高的声浪。 Now has increased the Zhang Family cargo, this benefit is heavier, being called the person to be crazier. 如今增添了张家的货物,这份利益更重,叫人越加疯狂。 Shang Xinci footsteps one slow, pinches tightly the double fist, deep sighing. 商心慈脚步一缓,捏紧双拳,深深的叹了一口气。 She is also a merchant, naturally must chase the advantage. Just so-called „voluntary offer”, did not certainly stem from the sincerity. 她也是商人,自然要逐利。刚刚所谓的“自愿奉献”,当然不是出自真心。 Now the circumstance compels, she is similar to was surmising the baby of great sum of money, walks side the Sir, has to self-preservation nothing more. 只是如今情势所迫,她如同怀揣着巨款的婴孩,走在大人身边,不得不自保而已。 Returns to oneself tent, the Xiao Die eye socket is red, is shrinking in the corner, chirp sob. 回到自家帐篷内,小蝶眼圈通红,正缩在墙角,嘤嘤哭泣。 She and Shang Xinci almost, has lived from infancy to maturity together, just White Feathered Flying Elephant took to her frightening, erupts to the present. 她和商心慈几乎从小到大,就一直生活在一起,刚刚白羽飞象带给她的惊吓,到现在才爆发出来。 „Xiao Die.” In the Shang Xinci heart sighed the one breath secretly, sat said to her comforting. “小蝶。”商心慈心中暗叹一口气,坐到她的身边安抚道。 „Young lady, I quite feared. Wū wū...... Sir Zhang Zhu had not come back, should, not should......” Xiao Die not to throw into the Shang Xinci's bosom, sheds bitter tears. “小姐,我好怕。呜呜呜……张柱大人一直都没有回来,该不会,该不会……”小蝶一头扎进商心慈的怀中,痛哭流涕。 The Shang Xinci racket her back, consoles several, but Xiao Die still sobbed to continue. 商心慈拍拍她的后背,劝慰几句,但小蝶仍旧哭泣不止。 „Xiao Die, Uncle Zhang Zhu never will possibly come back.” Shang Xinci said solemnly. “小蝶,张柱叔很可能永远不会回来了。”商心慈沉声道。 Such remarks, she feels in the bosom the Xiao Die body to tremble obviously. 此话一出,她明显地感觉到怀中小蝶的身躯一颤。 „Young lady......, Cannot!” Xiao Die raised the head, both eyes are red, keep shaking the head. “小姐……不会的,不会的！”小蝶抬起头来,双眼通红,不停地摇头。 „Accepts this fact, Xiao Die!” Shang Xinci drinks one suddenly lightly, „the present can only depend on us. Do not sob, cannot sob, sob unable to solve any issue!” “接受这个事实吧,小蝶！”商心慈陡然轻喝一声,“现在只能靠我们自己了。不要哭泣,不能哭泣,哭泣解决不了任何的问题！” „Depends on itself? But we are the mortals, if it were not for Sir Zhang Zhu, our cannot make the trip.” The Xiao Die eye tearful, the mood is very in the doldrums. “靠自己？可是我们都是凡人呐,要不是张柱大人,我们这一路根本不能成行。”小蝶眼泪汪汪,情绪很低迷。 „Not wrong. If these people do not look in Uncle Zhang Zhu share, how possibly to make me one of the vice- leaders. Xiao Die you said does not have the mistake, we are the mortals. However the mortal also has the strength of mortal!” In the Shang Xinci's eye flashes through firm light. “没有错。那些人如果不是看在张柱叔的份上,怎么可能让我成为副首领之一。小蝶你说的没有错,我们是凡人。但是凡人也有凡人的力量！”商心慈的眼中闪过坚定的光。 Her vision brilliant is staring at Xiao Die, both hands the arm of Xiao Die, makes an effort to sway: „Xiao Die, do you believe me?” 她目光灼灼地盯着小蝶,双手把着小蝶的胳膊,用力摇晃一下:“小蝶,你相信我吗？” Xiao Die looks at present Shang Xinci, feels an inexplicable strength. 小蝶看着眼前的商心慈,感到一股莫名的力量。 This strength originates from Shang Xinci, then fills her body, is infecting her heart, enabling her to feel that oneself as if brightly was being shone. 这股力量来源于商心慈,然后弥漫到她的身上,感染着她的心,使得她感觉自己仿佛正在被光明照耀着。 „Young lady......” the Xiao Die vision is flashing, she has never seen such young lady, this flash, she thinks the young lady unprecedented beautiful attractive. “小姐……”小蝶目光闪动着,她从未看过这样的小姐,这一瞬间,她觉得小姐前所未有的明媚漂亮。 „I believe you!” She in a soft voice and replied firmly. “我相信你！”她轻声而又坚定地回答道。 „Is very good, Xiao Die. You listened, we were in the middle of the dangers. The person is sometimes more fearful than wild beast, we take all savings, looks for the black earth and white clouds together.” “很好,小蝶。你听好了,我们正处在危险当中。有时候人比野兽还要可怕,我们带上所有的积蓄,一起去找黑土和白云。” „Good, Young lady, I listen your!” “好的,小姐,我都听你的！” ...... A time of after tea. ……一盏茶的功夫后。 In the tent, Fang Yuan and Shang Xinci are sitting cross-legged relatively. 帐篷内,方源和商心慈相对盘坐着。 Fang Yuan ponders the looks at present beautiful woman: „You just said, you free of charge have contributed our cargos? Has given these greedy hyenas?” 方源玩味地看着眼前的佳人:“你刚刚说,你已经将我们的货物都无偿地贡献出去了？给了那些贪婪的鬣狗？” „Is like this.” The Shang Xinci confident acknowledgment said. “是这样子的。”商心慈坦然承认道。 The Fang Yuan's corners of the mouth turn upwards, in the vision filled has appreciated to Shang Xinci's. 方源的嘴角翘起,目光中充满了对商心慈的欣赏。 Really is a smart person, can abandon can abandon, has the boldness! 真是个聪明人啊,能舍能弃,有魄力！ Zhang Zhu dies, Shang Xinci is only a mortal, even if on behalf of Zhang Family, the status also and other vice- leader is not extremely equal. 张柱一死,商心慈只是凡人,哪怕代表张家,地位也和其他副首领极不平等。 If these Gu Master want to annex the Shang Xinci's money, simply is easy. 这些蛊师要想吞并商心慈的财货,简直是轻而易举。 Massacres Shang Xinci, advances on the responsibility beast group, when the time comes no one can say anything. Zhang Family not for trivial Shang Xinci, but goes to investigate wantonly. 将商心慈杀掉,把责任推到兽群身上,到时候谁也不能说什么。张家也不会为了区区一个商心慈,而去大肆调查。 Therefore, regarding Shang Xinci, these in her hand merchandises becomes incomparably hot, can bring the disaster to her. 因此,对于商心慈来讲,她手中的这些商货就变得无比烫手,能给她带来灾祸。 Therefore, she discarded this root of trouble wisely resolutely, has thrown to other people, assured own security as far as possible. 于是,她明智地将这祸端毅然舍弃,抛给了其他人,尽量地保证自己的安全。 However she deep understanding, this security is unreliable. Therefore her arrived here. 但是她又深深的明白,这种安全也不可靠。所以她来到了这里。 „I come you to apologize to the black earth, sorry very much.” Shang Xinci bends the waist to Fang Yuan, „you lent money these to merchandise, according to the truth, these cargos was your. My this overstepping authority and getting involved in another's affairs, is very rash and offensive. For the expression apology, please accept these.” “我是来向黑土你道歉的,很对不起。”商心慈向方源弯腰,“你借贷了这些商货,按道理来讲,这些货物都是你的。我这次越俎代庖,十分莽撞和唐突。为表达歉意,请收下这些。” Shang Xinci this time has brought two wooden chests. 商心慈这次带来了两个木箱子。 Does not need to open, Fang Yuan knows, in this wooden chest has packed primeval stones. 不用打开,方源就知道,这木箱子中都装满了元石。 Has a large part, gains, opposite party that 50-50 split gives. 有很大一部分,还是自己赚的,五五分成给的对方。 Fang Yuan involuntarily looks to Shang Xinci. 方源不由地看向商心慈。 Two people vision collide in the midair, gradually gives birth to the heart to have the feeling of tacit understanding. 两人的目光在半空中碰撞,渐生出心有灵犀之感。 both sides both are the smart people, many words were needless to say was too clear. 双方都是聪明人,很多话不用说的太明白。 In the Shang Xinci's cognition, Fang Yuan hidden the identity intentionally, may is Gu Master. According to him all sorts of performance in being together process, Shang Xinci thought that Fang Yuan this person is very reliable. If who can also help her, Fang Yuan without doubt is the best candidate. 在商心慈的认知中,方源故意隐藏身份,很有可能就是蛊师。按照他在相处过程中的种种表现,商心慈觉得方源此人很可靠。如果谁还能帮助她,方源无疑是最佳的人选。 Because, Shang Xinci felt relieved to Fang Yuan very much. 因为,商心慈对方源很放心。 However, in the Shang Xinci heart also has the worry. First, she does not know that Fang Yuan's true strength how, Rank 1(turn), Rank 2 and Rank 3 difference is very big. Next, the Fang Yuan hidden status, must have the difficulties, is not necessarily able to expose the status to help itself. 然而,商心慈心中也有顾虑。首先,她不知道方源的真正实力如何,一转、二转、三转的差别很大。其次,方源隐藏身份,必有苦衷,未必可以暴露身份来帮助自己。 Before has not obtained the Fang Yuan's commitment, Shang Xinci has contributed money. After the security had the most basic safeguard, she is having all savings, looks Fang Yuan. Said that is apologizes to apologize, in fact is to invite Fang Yuan implicitly, hopes to obtain his help. 在没有得到方源的承诺前,商心慈捐献了财货。安全有了最基本的保障后,她带着所有的积蓄,来找方源。说是来道歉赔罪,实际上是含蓄地想要邀请方源,希望得到他的帮助。 She knows that Fang Yuan and she is a kind of person, this is the tacit understanding of smart person. 她知道方源和她是一类人,这是聪明人的默契。 Two people look at each other long time, Fang Yuan smiles slightly, breaks silent: „These primeval stones, but also asked Miss Zhang Family to bring.” 两人对视良久,方源微微而笑,打破沉默:“这些元石,还请张家小姐带回去吧。” The Shang Xinci facial color slightly changes, a heart downward sinks immediately. 商心慈面色微微一变,一颗心顿时往下沉。 In her understanding, Fang Yuan has rejected these primeval stones, without doubt is refuses to help her. 在她的理解中,方源拒绝了这些元石,无疑是拒绝帮助她。 But regarding this, can she be what kind of? 但对此,她又能怎样呢？ Then, Fang Yuan has repaid her to be many. Can achieve this, in world already few people. Shang Xinci cannot request anything. 说起来,方源已经回报她很多。能做到这点的,世上已经很少人了。商心慈也不能要求什么。 However if the black earth does not help her, but also who? White clouds? Their sexual relations will not be close, naturally enters with drawing back. 但是黑土如果不帮她,还有谁呢？白云吗？不会,他们俩男女关系亲密,自然同进同退。 Shang Xinci cannot find out also has any candidate, in her beautiful appearance, flood forced smile: „I understood. But these primeval stones, when I deliver a black earth you. Ordinary man innocent talent can arouse jealousy, you , if not receiving, perhaps I must contribute.” 商心慈想不出还有什么人选,她绝美的容颜上,泛起苦笑:“我明白了。但这些元石,就当我送个黑土你的吧。匹夫无罪怀璧其罪,你若不收着,恐怕我也得贡献出去。” Fang Yuan laughs: „Miss Zhang, I think that you understand some deviations. Just was joining caravan that little while, I and white clouds am wounded seriously, almost the life hangs one. The strength falls to lowly, was coveted by some strong slaves. Snort, is really A tiger may even be teased by a dog when it leaves the remote mountains. Was you have sheltered us, has given both of us the opportunity of full recreation. This benevolence, said that is the life-saving obligation, is not overrated.” 方源哈哈一笑:“张小姐,我想你理解有些偏差。在刚刚加入商队那会儿,我和白云负伤严重,几乎命悬一线。实力降到最低,偏偏还被一些强奴觊觎。哼,真是虎落平阳被犬欺。是你庇护了我们,给了我们俩充分休养的机会。这份恩情,说是救命大恩,也不为过。” „However my this person, having the graciousness must recompense, having a grudge must report. Although you is a mortal, but I approve you, even appreciates you. We meet by chance in boundless Human Sea, is a fate. The graciousness of water drop, when the bubbling spring reported. The kindness of let alone being life-saving? primeval stones you bring, I must go all-out to protect you!” “而我这人,有恩必偿,有仇必报。你虽是凡人,但我认同你,甚至欣赏你。我们在茫茫人海相逢,是一种缘分。滴水之恩,当涌泉相报。更何况是救命的恩德呢？元石你带回去,我必尽全力保护你！” „......” Shang Xinci hearing that, can't help but calls out in alarm in a low voice. “啊……”商心慈闻言,不禁低声惊呼。 Her eyelash trembles, both eyes flood red, quick is dense a piece. 她睫毛微颤,双眼泛红,很快就氤氲一片。 In her field of vision, because of the tears, Fang Yuan becomes fuzzy. However in the heart, the Fang Yuan's image actually incomparably clearly engraves. 在她的视野中,因为泪水,方源变得模糊。但是在心头,方源的形象却无比清晰地刻印下来。 ( to be continued ) （未完待续）
