People who are on the line of death are not qualified to care about the quality of life.

What Li Muye wants to eat most now is Da Lieba, caviar, and the potato beef like that Lao Cui's daughter-in-law boiled. Before that, what he wanted to eat most was actually the stewed meat in the jar of the provincial capital, the roast chicken of the goubangzi, the razor clams of Jincheng and the roasted sea cucumber with green onion in Dalian.

The reality is that a piece of smoked rat meat tastes distorted like overnight chicken manure due to the lack of salt. This is also available in limited quantities.

Diana ate silently, and could tell that she was also very difficult to swallow. Carl and Ping were wailing, still wasting the fat energy accumulated from their past affluent lives. Only Lao Cui gulped down on black bread mixed with coal like a stone, and occasionally ate a small piece of smoked rat meat.

Li Muye reluctantly accompanied Diana to eat a few bites, but he couldn't eat anymore, so he pushed the food to Diana under the pretext that he was full.

"You don't have to think of me like that. Diana seemed to have misunderstood, and looked a little moved: "They need hostages, and they haven't started interrogating us yet, and you have been subjected to severe torture, and you need more physical strength than me." ”

She had asked about Li Muye's movements before, and Vasily only said that he had been taken away and tortured for the purpose of protecting Li Muye. Li Muye's drug reaction has not completely disappeared, and his face was pale when he first met, but he didn't pretend to be.

Diana rarely showed sincere emotion, Li Muye was naturally happy to wash the boat in the river, and pushed the boat down the river and said: "I can't eat it, my body is uncomfortable, I eat a lot here, and I may have to vomit it later, rather than wasting it, it is better to leave it to you." ”

"Have you seen Evgeny?" asked Diana with concern.

"See, it's really a little famous, it's better to meet. Li Muye's expression was natural and said: "This guy wants to get food from me, but I didn't promise him." ”

Diana said, "You must not agree to him!" and added: "Look at the situation here, the policy of the Federation has worked, they will not last long, and if they do not surrender, they will all starve to death." As he spoke, he grabbed another large piece of rat meat with a touching taste and took two bites.

Li Muye looked at it and said, "I originally planned to have a magnificent kiss goodbye, although you never really regarded me as a husband, but at least for a moment I really regarded you as a wife." ”

Diana said in Chinese: "Li Muye, we can't escape, this is the mountainous area of the North Caucasus, it is their base camp, you recognize yourself as the son-in-law of Russia, please don't make any agreement with them, even if it's just for me." ”

Li Muye secretly said in his heart: "You don't recognize yourself as a Chinese daughter-in-law, why should Lao Tzu recognize this Russian son-in-law?" and said: "Don't worry, at least I won't betray Russia's interests in exchange for a chance to live." ”

Diana was obviously a little uneasy, and watched as Li Muye got up and left with Vasily.

On the way back.

"Vasily, do you usually eat this?"

"It's been almost a year, since the federal government started to limit supplies to the region. ”

"This place has a good climate and fertile land, so why can't you even be self-sufficient?"

"The federal government has designated this area as a protected area, and a lot of land is not allowed to grow crops, and our side did not rely on agriculture to develop the economy in the past, and the climate and environment here still have very high requirements for planting technology, and the supply of water and electricity is a problem, how can we do a good job in agricultural production." ”

"That's a big question, so what industry did you use to develop the economy in the past?"

"Oil!" Vasily said: "In the former Soviet Union, our side has always been an important oil production base, even now, but because of the war, the oil production plants have been shut down, we are engaged in oil The government does not allow it, they want to do it, we will make trouble for them." ”

"Don't you want to end this kind of life?" Li Muye said: "Everyone doesn't fight, sit together happily, you exchange oil for bread, and you will definitely be able to live a good life." ”

"It's impossible. "Over the years we have killed many important government officials, they have slaughtered many of us, my father and my brother have died in this war, and to give up hatred is a betrayal of their sacrifice, which neither side can accept." ”

This is indeed a big problem. Not to mention them, even a more inclusive federal government may not be able to agree to return to the track of peace talks.

"The natural conditions here are so good, why don't you raise some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep?" Li Muye felt that Vasily didn't like the topic just now, and pulled the topic back to the beginning. Said: "If the planting industry is not good, is the breeding industry also restricted?"

Vasily said: "The government army often goes into the mountains to search and suppress, and it will be transferred in about a month, so how can it be possible to engage in aquaculture." ”

Li Muye knew it in his heart, and said, "The black bread you often eat is too unpalatable, and there is coal noodles in it, that thing can't be swallowed at all." ”

Vasily bared his teeth and said, "It's easier to eat, but the hardest thing is that when we come out, we all bring a small stick to help make it smoother." ”

"Holy shit. Li Muye was surprised and burst into a foul mouth. I secretly thought in my heart, it seemed that they really couldn't stand it, they didn't want to surrender, and they had no other way to get food, so they found themselves. There is no food and grass inside, there is no aid outside, they are desperate, and they are almost their last straw.

"Actually, the rabbit and rat meat are not unpalatable, the key is that your craftsmanship is too bad, and there are no decent seasonings, otherwise I can make it more delicious." Li Muye said: "If you have two more glasses of strong vodka, I will guarantee you that you want to eat this meal and want to eat it." ”

Vasily laughed fascinatedly, saliva on the corners of his lips.

Li Muye suddenly said: "Otherwise, dear brother Vasily, you help me deliver a message out, and I will ask my subordinates to send a batch of spices and food in." ”

Vasily walked in front, looked back at Li Muye as he walked, and said: "There's no need to be so troublesome, I'll call you whoever you call after a while, if you want to escape from here, I won't stop you, as long as you can get out of this mountain." He also deliberately reminded: "There are many small special forces in the surrounding mountains, which are constantly searching for guerrilla members, and they will kill suspicious people at any time, and there are also swamps on which you can only walk in winter." ”

"Then how did you get in touch with the outside world?" Li Muye said angrily: "What did you use to get us here?"

Vasily smiled, walked into his own place, and soon came out again, holding something in his hand, handed it to Li Muye, and said, "Just rely on this." ”

It was a few colorful stones. Li Muye is now a person in the jewelry industry, even if he is a big shopkeeper, he still does the necessary homework. At a glance, these stones are all valuable natural gemstones.

"Do you have a lot of this?" Li Muye's eyes lit up.

Vasily put the gem in his hand in Li Muye's palm and said: "When the flood in the mountains washed down, there were countless in the riverbed, and the children picked them up to make toys, but they couldn't find a way to sell them. ”

"Looks like I need to talk to General Evgeny again!"

••••••

"As long as there is bread and milk, whatever you want. Evgeny said.

"Not only these, but also the most delicious caviar and vodka, guaranteed to be no worse than what you ate in Moscow when you were a teenager!" Li Muye said shamelessly: "In fact, even if you are fighting guerrillas, you also have the right to pursue a higher quality of life." ”

Evgeny smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you are such an interesting businessman. ”

Li Muye said: "It's useless to be interesting, having courage is the most important thing, and now at this time, I dare to do business with you." ”

"Our political ambitions are out of the question, but I'd love to see a better life for the people back home, and if you can do that, I don't mind making even greater sacrifices," Evgeny said. ”

"What do you mean?" Li Muye was stunned for a moment.

Evgeny said: "My body is not done, long-term constipation and malnutrition have ruined my stomach, in order to reduce the pain of defecation, now I dare to eat only a little food at a meal, such a day is too difficult for anyone." ”

Li Muye realized something, and said, "Do you want me to take you to invite merit?"

Evgeny nodded: "This result is a relief for me, and it is also a boon for the whole region, after I leave, the guerrillas will be reduced to pieces, unless the government or you go back on their word, they will not pick up guns again." ”

Li Muye never expected that the truth of the matter would be like this, and asked without surprise: "Since this is the case, then why did you arrest Karping and them?"

"I'm going to trade them for one person with the federal government. Evgeny said: "My son Durm, he will be my successor when I leave, his prestige is enough to put an end to the strife in this land, and as long as you can establish friendship with him, our place can provide you with a steady stream of motivation for the growth of your wealth!"

"To be honest, I can't believe you. Li Muye looked at this seemingly ordinary military strongman, but who had become a big trouble in the Russian Federation for more than ten years, and said with great confidence: "How can you prove your sincerity?"

"Actually, I don't believe you either, but unfortunately I don't have much time and no choice. ”

Evgeny slowly unbuttoned his clothes and flipped up the hem of his sweater, revealing his hairy belly. There was a shocking cut on the left side, showing no signs of healing at all, and a plastic bag with a yellow-green liquid inside. The smell is emanated, and it is simply impossible for humans and animals to approach.

"It's very, very painful, young man, to be alive!"

Li Muye forcibly suppressed his uneasiness, nodded and signaled that he could put down his clothes, and said, "Yes, for you, this is indeed the case. ”

Evgeny said: "No matter what, my life is enough. ”

Li Muye wished that this old guy would die immediately to be happy, for the sake of the gems and money, but his face still pretended to show regret, sighed hypocritically, and said, "Say, what do you need me to do?"
