"Who knows, In most people's mind, internal friction is slow torture. They may prefer a short sharp pain." Xiao shrugs. Andia war - a long war which decided the situation of six nations in blue planet. Andia was the name of a continent. There were some nations there. When the war broke out, other nations shared a secret agreement. They all took Andia continent as the main field. They 'carefully' controlled the war within Andia for they didn't want to risk the ecosystem of the whole planet. Countless missiles, bombs from tanks and fighters took millions of lives in Andia.When the war ended, Andia continent became a land of dead. Bomb creators and burning solid everywhere. The rivers and lakes smell like dead body and blood. And six nations, the victory, left like they haven't been to Andia. All survivors in Andia, they all hate six nations. But there is nothing they can do.Xiao notices the callus on Hong's hand, he askes "Were you in military before?""Yeah, for more than ten years.""No offence, I thought all old soldiers would choose to join the Sprout."Hong shakes his head, "My nation was merged through negotiations initialed by Stardragon. The leaders compromised. There is no need to hate them. Although I don't like six nations but I value the peace at the moment. The war has lasted so many years. It should end but the Sprout came out. They gathered great number of soldiers from the conquered nations by claiming to overthrow six nations. They claim war again. I am just a normal people and peace is my desire."Ann cuts in the conversation, "Exactly, war is crude. My eyes were blinded by an exploded flashbomb. Hong took me run from here to there. Finally we have a place to settle down. It is hard to live as straggles but it's much better than the war time."When they talk, the aroma of food comes out from the pot. Xiao sniffs greadily and asks "How do you make food? You can't see." "Don't look down on me! Although I am blind, I can sniff, hear and touch. I have hands to work and foots to walk. I am not a trash" Ann says with grievance. Hong laughs "She is a tough girl. She won't let me take care of her.""I don't wanna be a burden for you." Ann says with emotions. Hong scratch his head awkwardly. He feels uneasy to flirt with his wife in front of a stranger so he changes the topics,"By the way, let me show you my treasure." Hong opens the chest nerby and takes an old gun out. He says with pride, Take a look at this gun."[Military rifle (old)][Quality: grey (white)][Attributes: attack 38~40, attack speed:0.9/s, magazine capacity: 200, range 200 meters, power class 25, durability 5/300][Attribute bonus: agility +1][Length: 0.77 m][Weight: 7.1 pound][Additional bonus: Take aim - the bullet are less likely to be affected by the wind][Comments: the rifle fighted many battles with his owner]"What a good gun!" Xiao switches to actor mode, "Although it has been used for many years, it feels solid. The barrel is long and stright which gives enough distance for the bullets to accelerate. The power of bullets must be strong. It has a nice shining appreance!""Hahaha, he is my old fellow. He follows me for nearly ten years." Hong laughs, "He looks new, isn't he? I keep maintain him with machine oil. But the inside components are too old. I haven't used it for ages." Their conversation goes smoothly and it is getting dark.Ann brings a nice meat soup. The meat is perfectly cooked. Seceral pieces of green vegetables are floating on the surface which triggers the appitide. Xiao swallows his slobber. He has been tortued by cookies for seven days. He is desperate for some real food. His favour points for Hong couple keep +1+1+1+1.After the delicious meal, Hong asks Xiao to stay for the night. It is not easy to walk at night, Xiao agrees. They use blinder to make a separate space in the tent. Ann makes a bed for him. "Your bag is too big. Let me put it outside please." Ann says.The space in the tent is limited. The space for Xiao is small which is only enough for a bed. Xiao thinks for a while and asks a beast skin from Hong. He takes the magazines out and disassembles triggers of the guns in the bag. Then he wraps them with the beast skin and put them in a conner. He delibrately puts a leaf inside the opening of the wrap. If the skin wrap is opened, he will notice tomorrow. Xiao keeps all bullets in the bag which is placed near his foot. He loads a bee.73 pistol with full bullets and put it under his pellow. Although he is grateful for Hong's treat, it's better to be cautious. However, when his head touch the pillow, tiredness accumulated along seven days breaks out. Xiao falls into deep sleep in a sec. Hearing the slight snore, Hong smiles and talks to Ann in low voice, "He is really tired. Don't disturb him." Ann nods and trys to be quiet when she cleans the dishes.…."Uncle! Uncle! I am starving!" Fei runs to the tent. He looks dirty and there is a big bump which seems to be hit by something. If Xiao is awake, he would recognise this is the long hair boy that 'robbed' him on the day. The boy happens to be Hong's newpher. Hong frowns and asks, "Where are you today. I haven't seen you anywhere." "I went outside to hunt." Fei keeps his head down. Since his farther died in the war, he lives with his uncle Hong. He is afraid of his strict uncle. Hong recognised he is lying with his eyes and pulls him by the ear and rebukes in low voice, "Did you go out with that hand-made shotgun again? I told you I am going to kick your ass if you do that agin!"With ear pulled, Fei comes into tears with pain. He feels grived as he already had a hard day for meeting Xiao. He was hanged on the tree for half day and was starving. But he couldn't tell his uncle."Please, I won't do it again." "You won't remeber without a lesson." Hong raises his hand and then he realises that this will disturb Xiao's sleep. So he let Fei go and says serverly, "I will kick your ass tomorrow."Then Fei notices there is a guest here and he moves closer to see who is he. His face goes white right after he sees Xiao. He.. he is the ferocious guy today! I get the headache again. "Step back, you, go and sleep outside today." Hong says with impatience. To his surprise, Fei doesn't argue and runs outside quickly like he saw ghost. Hong is confused. "Am I uglier today?"Fei runs outside of the tent and gets calm down by the night wind. "Wtf, this is my home, why I ran?" That ferocious guy happens to be in my home. How can I let him go. Fei turns back and the moment Xiao punched him away flashing in his mind. He fears Xiao. He stops and doesn't dare to disturb Xiao. Although he is scared, he is angry with Xiao. He doesn't want to let him just walk off. "Come on Fei, where is your courage!" Fei thinks about it and figures out his revenge plan. He was curious about Xiao's full bag and he noitced the skin warp which doesn't belong to his family. It must belongs to that ferocious guy!Wait until midnight, after all residents in the camp fall asleep, Fei starts his move. He sneaks near the skin wrap and opens it. "Let's see what you get!" He is paralysed after he opens it. Guns! All are good quality guns!He is ecstatic! These are good stuff! He really wants to take them all but then he thinks about how ferocious Xiao is. This man will beat him to death when he found the wrap is missing. "I can't take them all." Unwillingness on the face, he takes two bee. 73 pistols. He dares not to take more. "After all, my uncle treated you today. It is not a big deal I take two pistols." Fei tries to convince himself. Then he makes the wrap back to what it was and sneaks out. Two small pistols, that ferocious guy won't notice.
