46. ??The cavalry regiment?

    The older child is about ten years old, with a thin figure and his eyes occupy one-third of the face. His nose is small and delicate, without rabbit teeth. She has already combed her braids and her face needs to be cleaner, obviously she has the perception of a female character. The rabbit teeth sister still has messy medium and short hair, which looks much dirty than her sister, and she looks only five or six years old.

Duda looked at the size of the hole and thought to himself: There must be no fat people on this planet.

After getting down from the cave, Duda covered his mouth and nose again.

The smell in the cave is very bad, and human life is strong. It can be guessed that their bathroom is also in the crypt and there is no skylight open.

Because the contact area with soil and rocks is larger, the fishy smell of soil is mixed with rust, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Duda touched the rough wall and groped forward with the dim oil lamp. The height of the cave was only about 1.6 meters, which made Duda very difficult. He could only expect a spacious space ahead so that he could stand up.

After reaching the end of this long entrance, Duda was completely desperate.

It was a large room that was equally tall, about 20 square meters, with cushions, mattresses, dining tables, stoves... Fortunately, the toilet was not here. In this space integrating the bedroom, living room and kitchen, Duda saw two caves on the ceiling, and a ladder placed against the wall - a stoneware ladder, which made Duda feel very novel.

"Give you water." Sister Braided brought a pottery bowl with shallow water inside.

Duda gave the remaining bread to the two girls, and looked at their infatuated appearance and felt a little sad. He knew clearly that there were such children on the earth that were not many light years away from here. He hoped that the technological progress brought by the moon civilization would also allow them to gain sunshine and food.

Isn’t this what soldiers should do?

Duda sat on a dirty cushion, drinking water in small sips. The water also smelled of iron, slightly salty, and there was no obvious impurities under the dim oil lamp.

"What kind of oil is this?" Duda happened to see the red liquid in the oil lamp.

"Oil." said the Rabbit Teeth Sister, "It's all oil and stone right there."

"The oil squeezed from the oil stone?" Duda reached out and dipped it a little, with a little sticky feeling, and there was no smell when it smelled.

"It was soaked." My sister obviously knew a lot, "soaked the oil and stones in water, and there would be oil in the water."

Duda nodded and rubbed the oil on his fingers. He asked, "Where are your parents?"

"I've gone to work." said the sister, "They work in the green space of the monk's house and will not be back the day after tomorrow."

"How many days do they go?" Duda asked.

"Um..." Sister Braidi walked to the wall and counted horizontal lines, "Sometimes it's three days, sometimes it's five days, sometimes it's... many days."

Duda came over and found that these days were different from three to nine.

"If they don't come back, what do you eat?" Duda's eyesight was at all without any food, or there was no food he could recognize.

"Faced with soil." Sister Braided pointed to a mound of soil in the corner of the wall, "and sweet potatoes." Duda followed her fingers and saw a black ball leaning against the corner of the wall.

"Can you eat enough..." Du Da looked at the two obviously malnourished children. The sister was thin all over, and the sister's head was obviously a little too big... These were all reactions to malnourished.

"Just save some food." Sister Braida said, "If we are too hungry, we will go to the pond. However, we won't go very much when Cauchy was beaten to death last time."

"Beat to death?" Duda said in surprise, "Why were you beaten to death!"

"They said that it was the monk's land, and anyone who took food from there would be beaten to death." The sister carefully packed the bread in a broken pot.

Duda felt a little sour on his nose. He looked at the watch and time would not wait for anyone. He said, "There is a hill nearby, do you know?"

"You mean, the hill you'll have to walk all day to reach?" My sister sat down opposite Duda, so quiet that Duda felt out of place with the environment here.

"Probably there," Duda said, "Is there any cow, horse, or something that I can ride?"

The girl with braided shook her head.

"You can ride a bison." The rabbit-tooth sister finished eating the bread in her hand, "I heard that Cauchy rode."

"That's him bragging!" the sister immediately retorted, "My parents said that we should be far away from the bison!"

"Where are bisons?" Duda asked, "maybe I can give it a try."

"In the pond." The rabbit sister said quickly, "Do you still have that food?"

Duda took out the last two bread from his bag, handed it to the two girls, and said, "Where did your water come from?"

The girl worked together to lift a stone in the corner, and there was a well below it.

Duda dug a bucket of well water and had to pour it into the water bag... "You can't drink it directly, you will die." The girl stopped Duda and "you have to keep it in the tank for a few days."

Duda then found two water tanks next to the stove. In addition to the water, there were some black stones in the tank, which seemed to be used to absorb heavy metal impurities in the water. He immediately lost all the water... The life of the poor is so difficult, and it is so difficult to even drink a sip of water.

"It's time for me to leave." Duda stood up and bent over.

"Don't tell anyone that you have been to my house." The older sister rushed in front of Duda and opened the door for Duda - it was a simple pulley.

"I won't cause you any trouble." Duda was very self-conscious.

The wind and sand in the wilderness made Duda feel that the air outside was so fresh. When he turned back, the entrance was gone. Duda felt disappointed and looked at the two looking holes, but did not see the two girls who said goodbye to him.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly. What was it to them? It was just a brief visit. A passing traveler drank a sip of water and gave them two bread.

Duda remembered the pile of cow dung again, but after being reminded by the girl, she remembered that she did not have the ability to tame animals. Moreover, the locals seemed to regard this animal as a danger, so don't waste time.

The hills are far away on the horizon, are they really only 20 kilometers apart? You must have read the lunar numbers wrongly!

Duda suppressed the impulse to return to Princess Pingyang again and took steps to start marching. Although he was a soldier, he had not received orthodox military training, and he did not even integrate into the army. In such a difficult situation, he could only repeatedly imply himself with the four words "I am a soldier".

The journey of a thousand miles began with a single step. After hiking for half an hour, Duda felt that the hills seemed to be closer. This greatly encouraged him. Just as he sat down to rest, the ground trembled slightly.

——Is there an earthquake?

Duda looked around... It doesn't matter if the earthquake really happened, there was no object taller than him around.

The tremor was getting stronger and stronger, and the gravel on the ground couldn't stop jumping.

The image of a bison appeared in Duda's mind again - although he had never seen the real thing.

If you encounter a large group of animals migrating and you are on someone else's migration path... that would be a tragedy.

Duda looked out from a distance and wanted to find the possibility of sheltering from the dust rising from afar.

It seemed that dust and mist were rising on the entire horizon. When the earth shook, the huge number also made all the objects in front of them shattered to pieces!

Duda finally knew why someone lived in a real underground cave... If someone's home always had such a group of bison rushing around, he would definitely not develop ground civilization. According to the scope of Yanghui, Duda knew that he could not run out, so he had no choice but to take out the key from his backpack and prepare to flash people.

——I don’t know if it looks the same as the bison on Earth.

Duda did not turn the keys immediately, and planned to take a look before leaving.

Under the dust curtain, clusters of black shadows were getting closer and closer.

Those are not migrating bison...

That's a horse.

It is no different from the horses on earth. The fur is as red as the land here. Wearing leather hoods of unknown material on our heads, the knights on their backs rise and fall with the horses.

This is a cavalry unit!

Duda did not leave immediately because the troops that were running in Mercedes slowed down and finally stopped at a distance of 500 meters from Duda. Duda turned his neck and swept from one end to the other. Thousands of knights had exceeded Duda's estimate range and could not form a reliable number in his brain.

Watched by such a huge crowd, Duda's hand pressed on the key trembled slightly, and did not twist until it finally happened.
