If you are unlucky, you may even lose your life.
As a family, they definitely don't want outsiders. Even if they want to recruit people, they won't recruit poor guys like them.
Time passed slowly as they were balancing corn, until the sun set and the small truck transporting the corn had rumbled back and forth more than ten times, before the day's work came to an end.
Tomorrow will still be a day of work, and resting early will help you recover your strength better.
After putting away their tools, everyone left the cornfield. There were more than ten fresh corns in their backpacks, which were for dinner and tomorrow's breakfast.
Carlos also cut down a few wild cacti along the way, which can be eaten as vegetables. People in their country eat cactus at almost every meal.
Cold cactus is also the food they eat most besides corn.
Like corn, they also have a special feeling for cactus. Almost all the delicacies in the Cactus Kingdom are related to cactus!
And the first national flower of their country is also cactus.
It’s just that this national flower is a little bit pitiful. It is basically regarded as an indispensable food in every meal.
"Hey, Carlos, Carlos!"
Just as Carlos was walking towards home with the basket on his back, suddenly a middle-aged man ran towards him from the front, shouting his name.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Carlos looked at the middle-aged man who was panting in front of him and asked curiously. This guy was his neighbor.
"you you……"
"Take your time, don't rush."
"Your wife is dead!"
Chapter 271 Guzman Family
Carlos' mouth opened slightly, his pupils dilated, and before his brain could react, the words had already come out of his mouth.
"My...my wife...is dead?"
"Yes, it was a tragic death, and the scene was bloody!"
He clearly understood every word, but why could these words form this sentence? This sentence was like a small screw dropped into a precision gear train, completely blocking his brain!
But his stuck brain did not prevent his body from suddenly running. Without any thought, Carlos' legs started moving.
Compared to his stuck brain, his legs were running faster and faster, even surpassing his previous short-distance running record in the army, showing the style of a sprinter.
"Hey, Carlos!"
Before Carlos' companions could catch up, only a distant back of Carlos remained.
Seeing this, the other middle-aged men had no choice but to run and catch up.
Carlos's home is on the edge of the town. The houses here are distributed in a circular shape. The closer to the center, the greater the power, the more money, and the better the house.
Lower-class farmers like them can only live on the edge of the town. Although it is a town, the houses on the edge are actually very dilapidated.
Some houses are even built with just a few large wooden boards, and the houses will fall apart if there is a slight breeze.
But Carlos was not so miserable. He was considered good among the poor people. After all, his house was quite sturdy and it did not leak when it rained. Just for this reason, he was better than most of the local poor people.
Carlos was running wildly, and for the first time he felt that he could run so fast. The scenery on both sides kept receding in his peripheral vision and turned into a blur.
The journey took more than ten minutes, but he managed to finish the entire run in just a few minutes.
Before he even reached the town, Carlos's pace slowed down. He stared at the crooked tree in front of him with wide eyes...
A common crooked tree with dry leaves and no vitality. Seeing this crooked tree will make people who want to die want to die even more!
The tree was right on the way to the cornfield. He would see it every day when he went out to work. The tree was lifeless as usual, but suddenly there was something different about it.
His wife is hanging on it...
"Ahhhh!!!"
A shrill cry of pain came from his throat. Carlos held his head with both hands, his eyes were bloodshot, and he knelt on the ground in pain. Even if he didn't get close, he could tell at a glance that there was no hope...
Completely dead. Totally dead.
There were some people watching nearby, pointing at the corpse or at Carlos who was kneeling on the ground in pain. No one came forward to comfort him, and no one took the corpse down from the tree.
"Get out of here, get out of here!"
Clear tears flowed from his eyes, but they turned into turbid tears after flowing down his dirty face.
Carlos waved his hands madly to drive away the crowd around him, looking like a madman. Seeing him like this, the people around him had to scatter in order to avoid trouble.
It's just a dead person. You can see it occasionally. It's not a rare thing anyway. It's better not to argue with a madman.
After driving away the people around him, Carlos quickly ran to the tree, picked up a slightly sharp piece of stone, and climbed up the tree with a few whooshes.
Then he picked up the thin stone slice and began to cut the solid fiber hemp rope back and forth. The fibers quickly broke one by one under the cutting of the thin stone slice, and with a snap, the hemp rope broke.
With a thud, the female corpse fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Since there were no external injuries on the body, no blood flowed out.
"thump!"
Carlos also fell to the ground, but he didn't care and crawled to the front of the female corpse.
Looking at his wife's face which was bloodless, pale and almost purple, and whose expression was twisted and painful, Carlos' blood turned cold and his heart almost stopped beating.
The hemp rope around his neck had cut deeply into his flesh. If nothing unexpected happened, his wife would have been hanged to death!
Carlos closed his eyes in pain, but he couldn't even make a sound due to his extreme grief. After he closed his wife's eyes, he suddenly raised his head again after just a moment.
His wife is dead, so where is his daughter? ! !
At this moment, the neighbor who had first gone to inform him had also caught up, and behind him followed his companions who had been picking corn with him.
As if he had grabbed the last straw, Carlos gently placed his wife's body on the ground, then rushed forward and grabbed his neighbor.
"My daughter? Where is my daughter?"
"Hiss!" Under the great force, the middle-aged man felt that his shoulders were about to be crushed, but looking at Carlos's red eyes, he responded hurriedly.
"It's the Guzman family. I saw someone from their family take your daughter away!"
"Then I saw your wife being hung up by them, and then I went to inform you, that's all I know!"
“Guzman…”
This name is known to everyone here because it represents the largest drug lord family in this town.
Although they are not a large-scale gang, they can be regarded as local tyrants and local tyrants in this land. Even the local police have to follow their orders.
Even most of the police officers who remain in office have become drug dealers' lackeys.
If you provoke them, no matter who you are, you will suffer extremely brutal revenge, and dying directly can be considered lucky.
You must know that as the region with the most serious drug crimes in the world, the cruelty of drug dealers in the Cactus Country is known to the world.
Even the government is tactful enough to cooperate with local drug lord families. Of course, if there are ignorant officials who go against drug dealers, the drug lords will naturally kill them without hesitation.
Carlos naturally knew how terrifying they were. If he had been a little more sensible, he would have stayed as far away from them as possible.
But Carlos is more than just himself, he is also a husband and a father.
If he ran away without knowing whether his daughter was alive or dead, he might as well die.
After getting the answer, Carlos could no longer bear it and ran madly towards the center of the town. He was determined to bite the other person even if he died.
"Hey, Carlos!"
When his companions behind him saw Carlos like this, they naturally knew what he wanted to do, but before they could shout, Carlos' figure had already run away. Seeing this, these people could only sigh.
They would have one less partner to work with.
Everyone knows that it is impossible to survive if you go against the Guzman family.
Carlos, holding his breath, ran madly towards the Guzman family's residence.
As he got closer to the center of the town, the surrounding environment became better, and even small Western-style houses appeared.
Compared with the Guzman family’s residence, the small Western-style building seems a little inferior, after all, the Guzman family’s residence is as luxurious as a palace.
"Oh!"
Carlos had just run to the gate of the Guzman family's mansion, but before he could get close, there was a gunshot and he was shot in the thigh.
"Tsk, where did this little bug come from?"
The bodyguard at the door looked at Carlos who was crawling towards them and frowned with disgust.
"what happened?"
Suddenly, a teenager appeared at the door of the mansion and asked the bodyguard standing at the door.
"Report to the young master, a small bug suddenly ran towards this side, and then I shot." The bodyguard who fired the shot immediately straightened his back.
"Tsk, how can you shoot so casually?" The young man called the young master scolded, "What if you accidentally kill someone?"
"The young master is teaching me a lesson. It was my negligence that made me deserve a slap in the face!" After saying that, the bodyguard slapped himself twice without hesitation, with such force that both cheeks swelled up.
"Well... okay, seeing that you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I won't pursue you this time."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, young master."
"By the way, let's chop off the limbs of that ignorant fellow and throw him into the desert outside. Although I don't know what he's doing here, I don't like his expression."
"Yes!"
Chapter 272 Aztec Trial Road
Most people know about the Mayan civilization, but they don’t know about the Aztec civilization and the Inca civilization. These three different civilizations are collectively known as the three major civilizations in Central and South America.
………………
The country of cacti and the capital of murals.
On top of the tallest building in the city, a figure descended from the sky like a god and landed gently without making a sound.
The man was wearing a casual beach outfit, a floral shirt, floral shorts, black sunglasses on his face, and flip-flops on his feet.
This outfit should obviously appear on the Hawaiian beaches of Honolulu Island, but it suddenly appeared in the capital of the Cactus Kingdom, which is also one of the largest cities in the world and the capital of murals.
The visitor raised his head to look at the scorching sun in the sky. The weather was clear, and the clear blue sky was without a trace of cloud. The city below was bustling with people.
Although the Cactus Kingdom does not have a very good reputation, its capital, the City of Murals, is listed as an Alpha-level city in the world city rankings.
Shen Kong stood on the edge of the tall building with his hands in his pockets. He took off the sunglasses on his face and threw them into the space he carried with him.
He had created the portable space before. Since he wanted to live comfortably, he must first satisfy his own wishes, such as a ring space. He had wanted one in his previous life.
Now that I have the ability, it is natural for me to give myself one first.
After a long rest, it's finally time to do something again.
Ever since the God descended from Romania, Shenkong no longer cared about the development there. Instead, he started wandering around the world, either wandering around or on his way to wander around.
Until he learned the news that vampires ruled Romania, and then he learned that the story of Romania was over and the vampires had won.
As expected, vampires have been around for so long, what can the church use to fight against them? The fact that they are not wiped out is because the vampires are kind-hearted.
However, the Russian Orthodox Church accepted the two escaped Holy Light holders, but it still could not defeat the vampires. It seems that I have to send some plug-ins to the church when I have time.
After silently remembering the matter of cheating, Shenkong put it out of his mind. The focus now was no longer on vampires and the church, but on this cactus country.
Today, he wants to bring the myth of the Cactus Kingdom to life.
"I feel more and more like a myth revivalist. Damn, this system clearly says it's a ghost story!"
After complaining about himself, Shenkong fell down the building with a leap of faith, and then took off again.
Although the Mayan civilization is more well-known and widespread in the Cactus Kingdom, Shenkong's target this time is not the Mayan civilization, but the Aztec civilization.
The Aztec religious system is largely similar to that of the Mayan civilization, but overall it is relatively complex.
The reason for this is that the Aztecs were a warlike nation, and whenever they annexed a country, they would incorporate that country's "gods" into their own original religious system.
The biggest characteristics of Aztec civilization are its mystery, bloodiness and terror.
The Mayan civilization is too famous, so famous that he is a little aesthetically fatigued, so Shenkong chose one of the three major civilizations in Central and South America, which is not as well-known as the Mayan civilization.
The once brilliant Aztec civilization, an ancient civilization with brilliant culture and highly developed society, once disappeared in human society and was forgotten by people.
It was not until 1790 that it was accidentally rediscovered. Now, it is time for the myth of this ancient civilization to appear in the world.
