Chapter 10
The twilight is like blood
…………

Sheilor had his own reason for the caution. In the previous few times of actions, he had already confirmed the electric shock stick in his hand could knock down human beings completely, but he couldn’t guarantee every time that he could let the intrepid buffalo to fold its hands for capture.
Today, the occurred fact also proved this point, when he approached that bull’s dark brown body, that was weak and limp on the ground bull suddenly spurted out the strong breath, jugged the ground with its four hoofs, the final outbreak of the whole body, as if it was shaken up from the ground by a huge force, rushed towards him.
Sheilor scaled back his pupils slightly, his look was slightly pale, it seemed that he was muddleheaded on site, that electric shock stick was still in his hand at the moment, it just only had the sharp blade tip stuck out from the front, it looked like the bayonet that the army often used.
In a twinkling, the fear of the youngster transformed into the powerful execution through the kidney harmonic secretion, in that very breathtaking moment, he turned his body aside. A brisk wind blew across his face, he strove to open up his that pair not-too-big eyes, watched the buffalo’s every action clearly in his own eyes, and then stabbed down the metal prick which was been holding in his right hand tightly!
Sheilor’s eyesight was very good, otherwise he would not have such fast speed in the repair aspect, and corresponding to this talent, his hands were also very stable, so the position where the thin and long metal prick was stabbed down on didn’t have the slightest shift.
…………
…………
The next moment, the bayonet had been brought away by that enormous physical strength, out of his that empty palm, and remained two inches under the fur on that bull’s neck… With a few drops of blood on.
With the sound “Bang”, the even electric shock stick couldn’t subdue bull, rushed passing by Sheilor’s side with the extremely fierce attitude, and then fell abruptly on the soil slope with the more determined attitude, shook up more dusts and grass clippings.
Sheilor carried the prick, looked at that head of fell on the ground heavily bull sillily, silenced for a long, long time, then his legs didn’t tremble any longer, and the healthy red color returned to his face once again. In previous that moment , he was really scared, because he didn’t think of today that this bull would have so exuberant vitality unexpectedly, in the effect of the remaining current, it still could dash so fiercely.
Silenced for a long time, he got close to the buffalo with the lingering fear, made confirmedly the death of it, and then pulled that dagger out from the cranium back of the bull with the extreme caution.
The sharp point of the bayonet had already wiped out the central nerve node part of the bull, the bull couldn’t bounce up to express its anger any more. Sheilor narrowed his eyes subconsciously, took a look at the blood to drop on the blade of that dagger, the liquid shined with the faint light in the murky and getting dark twilight. He didn’t have the irritability after the hint of the asthenia in his heart, and no any excitement as well, there was only a little fear and dodge.
“Whenever, Handle can be used for twice?” He turned his head back suddenly, shout at the repair shop boss on the other side of the electronic fence, The voice was full of the complaints and the angers.
Handle, that’s the name he made for this electric shock stick and dagger, the design of this metal weapon was very delicate, but it was only delicate, after one time charge, it could release the current only once, it couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath with the real military weapons, besides the curve of the handle was made suitable and smooth, and it let you to feel abnormally comfortable when you hold on it, Sheilor didn’t find any other place that could make him beckoned.
So he called it Handle.
If the electronic shock stick could release the current twice, then in the previous moment, he would not be so dangerous, no wonder Sheilor was so impolite to the teacher of the repair aspect and the designer of the handle uncle Fengyu.
…………
…………
There was a defect with the design of the handle, the strength of the output current was tuned up twenty percent intentionally, which leading to that it could be used only once.
The sitting on the other side of the electronic fence Fengyu knew all of this clearly, he could easily make up for the defect, but he had not told Sheilor straight forward, and he also didn’t go to accomplish it—Because he made a self-defense weapon like this for Sheilor to use deliberately.
From many years ago, Fengyu had been believing, if human depended on the machinery too much, no matter what kind of good thing, it would only block the peeping eyes of the possibility that human explored in the body and the universe. About these theories, Fengyu still had not had the plan to discuss with Sheilor temporarily, so after he heard the angry question of the youngster, he just had a smile, didn’t gave it an answer, but grabbed out that pack of paper-flat cigarette from his jeans instead, lit up one of it, and smoked it joyously.
Sheilor turned his head around down in the dumps and lowered his body.
Looked at the other side of the fence, in the dusk, the busy youngster, somewhere was touched in Fengyu’s heart. In fact, he was a very callous character, otherwise he would not fled to such a remote place like East Forest Region by himself alone. However, the merge of the warm light tune of the grassland and the dark night behind, that youngster in the red sunset, pared the cowhide, segmented the beef, and wiped the blood off from the palms on the clothes occasionally…
This was a very bloody scene, but it was also a scene full of aesthetic feeling of the life, all the lives on this world were moving between the death and survival. Fengyu stared blackly to hold the cigarette, looked at that waving the knife like dancing youngster, he couldn’t help thinking of the scene in the classical literature which he read many years ago, in the harvest autumn, the farmers harvested the crops to exchange their own survivals with the residual bodies of the plants, by the side of the tribal campfire, men and women were drinking the wine, holding the roasted animal limbs by the fire to gnaw and eat, very happy.
A trace of smile floated on Fengyu’s cheeks, this visibly moving smile with his grey hair, seemed to reveal his true age, there was a share of vicissitudes taste began to show out unintentionally.
He always felt Sheilor this kid was very interesting, because this kid seemed that he always put his own energy into that two ideals, and he didn’t notice the ability which he showed in other aspects at all.
Such as the slaughter of the buffalo at the previous moment, besides the had special training people in the military, who else could kill that bull just with a dagger? Why there were so few wild beef to sell in the black market in these several years?
Fengyu thought of the question that Sheilor asked previously, the smile on his face couldn’t help getting richer, in the background of the strict firearm management of the federal government, which black marketer would dare to risk his life to hunt and kill the bulls?
This kid… Was very silly in some ways, hadn’t he found that when they angered that bull earlier, he himself and him could run faster than that angry bull? Hadn’t he felt that, he could kill a bull unarmed, this is the more proud achievement than repairing a TV?
“Fuck, fuck…” In the dusk, while Sheilosr was scolding the dirty words, he was enduring the discomfort to do the slaughter work. Finally he could not help it, he stood up akimbo and shouted at that smoking shameless middle-aged man, “there are still two hundred pounds meat without the bones, if you are lazy once again, when can we have the dinner?”
The all around talents which Sheilor this youngster expressed, actually in Fengyu’s eyes, were nothing at all, because in his this long life, how many real genius he had seen. But when he killed the buffalo, the calm and steady which Sheilor expressed was absolutely not conf
orm to his age— Even though his legs were shaking by the fear, the face lost color, but he was still calm and steady— This was Fengyu the place most appreciated about him.
At the same time, it was also the most boring place Fengyu thought about this youngster. So, when he heard Sheilor scolded the bad language right now, he was somewhat happy instead, laughed like a wild lily, stood up, and patted on his own ass.
