Chapter 16 Section 11 Leaders

Algie was unconscious all the time, and when he was put on the bed, Le Corgi replaced the temporary bandage just now, and replaced it with a new one carefully.The injured person's eyelids were moving, his mouth was also moving, and his pale face finally turned red.Then there was a faint groan.But still unconscious and drowsy. He was so badly injured, was there any hope of surviving?Human medicine cannot make guarantees.In short, the situation is critical, but it is not hopeless. There is still a glimmer of hope for the healing of the wound. Le Corgi devoted all his love, all his knowledge, and tried his best to treat him.He ordered Algie to be in total silence, absolute bed rest.Then he ran towards Liberia, because there were still people there who might need his help.

Despite the blows he's just taken to the heart, his admirable spirit of sacrifice and altruism is simply flawless. The tragedy made his heart ache for a while, but it didn't make him forget these injured and dead people.According to the chef of the Jonathan, they are waiting for him to save lives in Liberia.Did someone really die and get hurt?Did Siriden lie?He was full of doubts, but he had to go and see for himself. It was ten o'clock at night, and the moon was setting in the east.In the dim sky, through the afterglow, the naked eye could see the dust falling endlessly. As the sky gradually darkened, the blurred light in the distance began to glow reddish. Liberia had not yet fallen asleep.

Le Cogui strode forward, crossing the fields that were completely silent, and as he approached Liberia, he finally heard a noise that was first very soft and then loud. He reached the camp in twenty minutes, and walked swiftly through the houses in the night to the clearing in front of the Government House.Seeing the strange and unique landscape in front of him, he couldn't help standing still. Through the light of a circle of torches, it can be seen that all the residents of Liberia seem to be gathered here, all the people are there, men, women, old and young, divided into three different groups, the largest number The man was right across from Le Corgi.They were mainly children and women, and they were silent, as if they were watching the other two groups.The other two groups of people stood in a row in front of the government building, maintaining a fighting posture, as if they were guarding the gate of the building; while the other group also took a fighting posture on the other side of the square.

No, Xi Ridai did not lie, there were indeed seven people lying in the middle of the square.Injured or dead?Le Corgi could not confirm from here.The light of the torches drifted and danced, making these people look as if they were still alive. It can be said that the number of these two groups of people is relatively small, but there is no doubt that they are irreconcilable. However, the area where the corpses are parked seems to be a neutral area, and none of the rivals who are hostile to each other dare to cross.Obviously, these so-called attackers did not seem to have any momentum to attack, and the defenders of Beauvale had no opportunity to display their valor.The battle has not yet started, and people are still at the stage of talking but not doing.Therefore, they never miss an opportunity for verbal attacks.From the dead or the wounded, you come and go, and witty words come and go.They retorted when they said something to you and to me, and they blushed and their necks were thick because of the quarrel.Sometimes cynically, sometimes relentlessly attacking.

When Le Corgi entered the circle of light, everyone stopped abruptly and fell silent.He looked at the people around him, went straight to the people lying on the ground, bent down to look at one of them, it was just a zombie, he went on to check one by one, looked at all the people, and if necessary, He opened their clothes and quickly bandaged them. What Xi Ridai said was correct, three people were indeed killed and four were injured. When it was all over, Le Corgi looked around and couldn't help smiling despite their grief.Because more than a thousand people around showed respectful expressions, and at the same time harbored a childlike curiosity.To brighten the light, those who carried the torches moved closer, and the three groups began to squirm, and gradually melted into one, surrounding Le Cogui, making him the center.The crowd fell completely silent.

Le Corgi called for help, but no one moved.He called out by name, and the situation was completely different this time.The person whose name was called stepped out without hesitation at the sound of the shout, and followed Le Corgi's instructions with great diligence. Within minutes, the dead and the wounded were lifted and sent to their respective homes, led by Le Corgis.But his task was far from complete. He had to visit the wounded one by one, remove the bullets and give them a final dressing before returning to Newtown. His unselfish and dedicated spirit of benefiting others made people worship him and regard him as a perfect character.At the same time, he learned from people's mouths that Lewis.Doric started to squirm again.Everyone to Ferdinand.Beauval hated it deeply. He caused trouble for nothing, and provoked people to plunder and rob the residents near the camp unscrupulously, and even developed to rob houses later.And the end result, as Le Corgi now sees it, was tragic.

Sad indeed.And the consequences will be more serious.As everyone said, the robbers couldn't stand the bullets fired by the families hiding behind the fence at all, so they had to flee in embarrassment. The only prize of war was to drag back their injured or dead companions.How different is the scene of returning from departure.When we set off, there was a lot of voices, emotions, ecstatic and triumphant.There was cheering and flattery everywhere, and they gagged, yelled, and threatened anyone who was ready to blackmail.When he returned, he didn't say a word, his head was downcast, he was beaten in the speculative adventure, speechless, heartbroken, and frowning.The elation of the departure was replaced by the angry silence of the return.Just find a ballast and explode on the spot.

They feel cheated.Who is the liar?They don't quite know yet.These are stupid people who can't use their brains at all and don't know anything.Therefore, according to the old habit, instead of self-reflection, they complained. Frustrated by violence, they immediately feel distraught and ashamed.They have endured it for too long, and now they have a deeper understanding.Before coming to Khost Island, these people were divided into two groups among the proletarians.They have been repeatedly moved by the loud and powerful speeches of those who use flowery words and rhetoric.Nonsense is regarded as truth by them.So, according to the guidelines, they took the restrained and peaceful demonstrations at the beginning. At that time, they had enough food, warm clothes and surplus food at home.However, once poverty is added.Impatient and restless, their quiet demonstrations were replaced by riots, while their wives and children were starving and had no rice to eat.Therefore, they are like mad dogs, they go out in groups to look for food, kill innocent people indiscriminately, and generally go out alive and lie down and come back. Occasionally there are triumphant times, but the most common is that they are defeated, which means that the situation is bad.These people always try to conquer by violence, but their failure proves their smallness.

So they returned to camp across the fields they had looted.This is definitely the last demonstration to stop the tragedy.These unlucky fellows feel tricked, annoyed at their own stupidity, and where are the leaders, Beauvalle, Doric?Of course they will hide far away, the bullets will not hit them.This kind of thing is the same everywhere.It is no different from the story of the fox and the crow, one is the exploiting class and the other is the exploited class. When demonstrations are bloody, however, riots and revolutions follow as a rule.The protagonist of the tragedy has become a household name due to his active participation many times.In turmoil, loss of mind is commonplace.Victims are flags due to violence and homicide.

This time, the seven people brought back by the robbers became the banners.They were heard in front of Ferdinand.Beauvale's face said so.He wields the power and deserves to be held accountable for it.But they ran into his supporters first when they came to Government House.People start yelling and swearing first, and then move on later. But not yet.An unchanging, conventional agreement that allows people to act in an orderly manner.People first confront each other verbally, and when the scolding is over, the talking is tiresome, the mouth is dry, and the voice is hoarse, they go home to sleep.On the second day, everything must be done according to the rules, and the dead should be buried in a dignified manner first. Only after this is done, the order will be chaotic, and the situation is frightening.

Things change suddenly because Le Corgis intervenes.Thanks to him, people temporarily suppressed their anger and remembered that there were not only the dead, but also the wounded. If they were rescued in time, they might still survive. When he crossed the square and returned to Newtown, it was empty, too.Just now, the anger of human beings, who have always been fickle, was about to erupt, but he extinguished it all at once.Now the doors are closed and the people are asleep. In the dark night, as he walked, he thought about what he saw and heard today.He just shrugged his shoulders dismissively at what Doric and Beauvale said and did; but the guy who was looting the neighborhood seemed to make him think seriously.This insolence, robbery, plundering, and stealing is an ominous omen.The settlements have been so seriously endangered.If the immigrants are against each other, you will destroy this place once you fight over each other. In the face of such facts, how will he deal with the theory he clings to?The results are there, vivid and clear at a glance.If he leaves these men alone, they cannot go on living, they will die of hunger, like a herd of foolish cattle that cannot find pasture because there is no shepherd to show them the way.As for their spirit, most of them adopt practical utilitarian philosophy.They are mediocre and poor. They work in summer and in winter.Its dirty soul uses this as an excuse to let it out.Ingratitude, selfishness, violence, cowardice, wantonness, lack of foresight, laziness, they are full of these things.Because of the lack of lofty ideals, they are short-sighted, and thousands of people have only the same desire.Now the dangerous tragedy is drawing to a close.A year and a half is enough time for them to perform to their heart's content, and Nature seems to regret the act, and to right its wrongs, casts these self-deprecating ones, strikes them with death, and clings to them, one after the other. The land disappeared, and let them return to the land one by one.Throw them into the furnace, change them, transform them, and use their nourishment to create new men, so that the cycle of human beings will repeat itself endlessly.well!The recreated newcomers must still be the same as their predecessors. Le Corgi returned from Liberia, where there were dead and wounded; on the way he had to step over Shrek's body, and return to Newtown, and that which made him disillusioned, his hard heart rekindled, and now Algee with his chest cut open.Wherever he went, there was blood everywhere. Before going to bed, Le Corgi came to Algie's side.His situation is still the same, neither improving nor developing.But what is worrying is that he will bleed heavily at any time, and this potential threat is frightening. Because he was too hard and tired, he didn't get up very late the next day, when the sun was already high.He went out to see Algie, and nothing changed about him.At this time, the mist has cleared, and the wind is sunny.He quickened his pace to make up lost time.Le Corgi walked towards Liberia as usual.There, the old patient was waiting for him.Since the beginning of spring, the number of sick people has indeed decreased a lot, but four more people were added yesterday. As he was crossing the bridge, he ran into a group of people blocking his way.All the men in Newtown except Algie and Carrolli were there, fifteen, unusually fifteen men with guns, who seemed to be waiting for him.These people are definitely not professional soldiers, but their minds are already full of gunpowder.They were composed, calm, with serious expressions, holding guns, and seemed to be waiting for an order. Ali.Rhodes stood at the front and made a gesture to stop Le Corgi.He had no choice but to stop and look at the group of people with astonishment. Le Keji, Ali.Lords said, we are not fooling around, I have been begging you for a long time to save Khost Island, rescue people from distress, and lead them.I beg you now one last time. Le Coguire remained silent, closing his eyes as if to see himself better.Ali.Lordes went on to say: You should think about a few things that have happened recently.Anyway, we made up our minds.That's why last night, Altleble and a few others, and I went and retrieved fifteen guns and distributed them to all the men in Newtown, and we're now fully armed, so the others must obey us s arrangement.The matter has reached this point, and it would be a crime to wait any longer, and we should act immediately.I have made up my mind, if you are still stubborn and don't change your original intention, I will lead this group of upright people to do it single-handedly.It's a pity that I don't have your kind of appeal, and I don't have the inviolable majesty.People will ignore me, and then there will be blood.Instead, if you lead, people will follow without question.You can see for yourself. what happened again?Le Corgi asked in that usual calm tone. Take a look here first.Ali.Lordes pointed to the room and said that Algie, whose life was dying, was lying in it. Le Corgi couldn't help shivering. Look there again.Ali.Lodes pursued him closely and dragged him up the river. The two climbed up the embankment.From there you can look down on the right bank.Liberia and the surrounding swampy plains are unobstructed. In the camp over there, the people wake up early in the morning and are furious.Now is the time to finish yesterday's action.First of all, the three dead were solemnly buried, and the scene of the ceremony stirred up everyone's emotions.The dead man's associates were protesting; Beauval's supporters felt the danger; others were watching. The whole population followed the funeral procession, except Beauvale, who thought it best to hide at home and not to show his face.The funeral procession did not forget to pass by the gate of the government building, nor did they forget to stop in the square.Lewis.Doric jumped out at the right moment, attacked and abused wantonly, and then the funeral procession moved on. Doric spoke again at the burial, and he had said enough.He filed a complaint against the colonial government.According to him, it was this Beauvale who was short-sighted, lacking talent and morality, and even acting perversely that led to all kinds of disasters today.Anyone could do a better job of overthrowing an incompetent government, now is the time. Doric wins big!The voice that answered him was deafening.First it was Doric Long Live and later it was Go Mansion!Go to the mansion!Hundreds of people started to move, stamping their feet heavily on the ground, their blood was boiling with excitement, their eyes sparkling.Fist raised to the sky, making a threatening gesture.Mouth gaping, let out a hateful roar.They all had fierce looks on their faces. Unrest quickly escalated.They picked up their pace, then began to trot, and finally developed into a shoving, bumping and running, like a torrential rain pouring down. Its charge encountered an obstacle.Those with vested interests fear that the change of dynasty will harm them, so they become the defenders of the government.They punched you, kicked me, a scuffle. However, Beauvale's people were obviously weak and outnumbered, so they were forced to retreat, step by step, meter by meter, all the way to the front of the building.The battle on the square has entered a fierce stage, and the battle has been going on for a long time with each winning and losing.Some people have broken heads and blood, some have broken tendons and bones, and some have broken bodies. The more people fight, the more excited they are, and the more poisonous they are.Finally, when it came to the moment of swords and swords, blood flowed everywhere again. After a heroic resistance, Beauval's imperial army was finally defeated.The attackers swept away the leaves, swept everything, and then rushed into the building in a swarm.They yelled hysterically and searched the house to the bottom.If Beauvale is arrested and brought to justice, he will definitely be mutilated.Fortunately, he escaped long ago.Beauval was missing, and when he saw the situation taking a turn for the worse, he slipped away just in time.At this time, he was spreading his legs and running in the direction of New Town, where he escaped the disaster. The victors searched for a long time but found nothing, and couldn't help being furious, which caused these people to lose their minds, good or bad.The murderer was not found, and people took revenge on his belongings.Beauval's home was turned upside down and looted.The few poor pieces of furniture, some papers and personal effects were thrown out of the window and piled up in a messy pile.Then light a fire and set them ablaze.Carelessness after a few minutes?It was also one of the rioters who deliberately set fire to the building, which also began to burn. The assailant ran from the house, smoked.They were no longer human beings at this time, they just kept shouting, robbing and killing wildly.They no longer think, no longer have direction; they just can't help fighting, destroying, and slaughtering. In the square, there were also children, women, and indifferent onlookers.They have always remained neutral and stood by.This time I still sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and don't mess with anyone.In short, they are numerous and powerful, but, for all that, they are timid and fearful.So no one takes them seriously.Lewis now.Emotions were heightened as Doric's followers crushed their erstwhile rivals.And its opponents had claimed to be on the side of the majority in the past, so they charged at the unarmed majority and started punching and kicking them. So people ran away like crazy.Men, women, young and old fled across the plain.The demon-possessed ones are running after them, completely out of their wits, ignorant of reason, ignorant of what is the cause of their anger. Le Corgi and Ali.Lordes climbed up the embankment, looked towards the camp, and found that the place was dusty and smoky, blocking out the sky and extending to the sea.The buildings were gone, and there were only screams, yells, curses, howls of pain and worry.Only one living person was seen, a man, who appeared from the plain on the other side, running desperately.Although no one was chasing him behind, he didn't let up at all, and ran wildly.He went on the bridge, crossed the bridge, and didn't stop out of breath until he was in front of this group of heavily armed teams, and collapsed on the ground.People recognized him as Ferdinand.Boval. Le Corgi witnessed this scene.At first, he just thought that this scene was very moving, but soon he understood what it meant: Beauval was chased like a clown and had to run away.Rioters are rampaging and killing in Liberia. What does all this mean?What a great thing to finally be free from Beauval's dominion.But why did the incident of robbery happen?Innocent people will bear the brunt of this.Why is there a massacre?The shouts in the distance showed that the people's anger had reached the extreme. So, it's really come to this point!Why not do all kinds of bad things?It was done against real people, not the villainous beasts he now faced. Le Corgi is still avoiding Ali.Lords.He stood sluggishly and stiffly on the embankment, staring at the front for a long time, silently.He was thinking in pain, with a blank expression on his face. However, in the depths of his soul a fierce struggle was going on.His spirit was completely broken.Facing the indisputable facts, he turned a blind eye and still clings to self-deceiving religious philosophies selfishly.At this moment, irrational, poor mortal beings are killing each other.Or, he should face reality, obey common sense, intervene in this anarchy, rescue everyone from danger, and get out of this difficult and difficult situation. He can't violate his conscience, he has to do this!well!It was the most disgusting thing in his life.Seeing the idol in his heart smashed to pieces at his feet, he had to admit that he was blinded by the illusion of a mirage, that the foundation of the theory was a big lie, that everything he imagined was unreal, so he dedicated himself to fantasy How stupid, how terrible, and how doomed. Suddenly, out of the smoky area of ​​Liberia came a man, and then another, and ten and a hundred more.Many of them are children and women.But most of them, tightly surrounded by their opponents, desperately broke out in the direction of Xinzhen.The last one ran was a woman, wide and fat, so she ran very slowly. A man caught up with her in a few steps, grabbed her by the hair, threw her to the ground, and raised his fist Le Keji turned to Ali.Lordes turned and said in a serious tone: I agree.
