1047, Daxing Northwest Progress
Young Marshal, I heard Commander Zhang mention it, and he said that you used to live in a market town, and your life was very hard, didn't you?" said Da Yu, looking at the refugees outside the barrier.
They did not go directly to deliver potatoes to these refugees, but walked among the tens of thousands of refugees and observed their hunger.
At this time, the refugees are skinny, indicating that their bodies have exhausted the liver glycogen in their bodies, and even the fat is almost consumed.
Some of the makeshift shacks were foul-smelling, and the people inside did not know when they had died, and some people were clutching their stomachs in unbearable pain, either because they had eaten something stiff and ruined their stomachs, or because their stomachs had ulcerated or even perforated.
Ren Xiaosu replied: "When I was in market town No. 113, life was indeed very hard, but it was not to the point of suffering, because I have been in that environment, so I learned some skills from others to find food, so that I will not starve to death." And these barrier people are in great trouble for the first time, and they have no skills to survive in the wild, and they are likely to die suddenly before they have time to adapt to the environment. ”
Da Yule laughed and said: "The commander said that you were very bitter at the time, and he also said that he once saw you give your brother the nest head you bought in exchange for mining, and then went to the outside of the shack to secretly chew the roots of the tree to prevent your brother from seeing it." ”
Ren Xiaosu also fell into memories when he heard this, at that time, he probably didn't know how to hunt, so he could only work in the coal mine with adults, but he was young and had little strength, and the nest he earned from working was only enough for one person to eat.
However, he smiled and responded: "It was really bitter at that time, but looking back, I always feel that it was one of the happiest times I have had in more than ten years." ”
"Does the young marshal know why Commander Zhang chose you as a candidate for the next commander?" asked with a smile.
"Why?" In fact, this is what Ren Xiaosu has always been puzzled about.
"Because he sees in you many precious qualities that many people don't have," the big flicker didn't go into details, but it seemed that the reason was hidden in that time in the market town.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu saw a child hiding in the shack, looking at himself and Da Fu, he suddenly squatted at the door of the shack, looking at the child through the gap in the curtain.
He seemed to see Yan Liuyuan when he was young again, and Xiao Liuyuan at that time had not yet become the master of the grassland today.
Ren Xiaosu took out a few toffees from the storage space and spread them in the palm of his hand, and the child was too timid to reach out to take them.
"Let's eat," Ren Xiaosu said.
The child in the shack hurriedly grabbed the toffee from Ren Xiaosu's hand, but he didn't eat it, but hid it in his jacket pocket, as if he wanted to keep it and share it with others.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the other shacks around, and then said to the child: "If you don't eat now, someone will come to grab it immediately after I leave, maybe you have the courage to protect them, but you don't have the ability to protect them, eat them." ”
After listening to Ren Xiaosu's words, the child thought for a while, and then peeled off seven or eight pieces of toffee and stuffed them into his mouth in one go.
Ren Xiaosu smiled: "Smart." ”
At this time, many refugees looked at him and Da Yu, wanting to gather around and beg for food, but they cowered and did not dare to come forward.
Ren Xiaosu did not distribute potatoes to these people, but immediately lit a bonfire on the spot, and then threw a few potatoes into the fire to roast.
He and Da Yu sat calmly by the campfire, surrounded by more and more refugees, swallowing saliva while watching the bonfire.
More than twenty minutes later, Ren Xiaosu pulled the potatoes out of the bonfire with a black knife, and he did not hide his identity as a transcendent at all, which made the refugees fear and awe.
"I see you're all hungry, so divide these potatoes," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
Hearing this, the refugees immediately pounced.
The potatoes were hot, but the refugees would not let go even if they endured the pain of being burned.
There were probably hundreds of refugees around, but there were only six or seven potatoes, which was not enough at all.
When the first refugee broke the potatoes, the smell spread throughout the crowd, and everyone was caught in a frantic scramble.
Soon, the potatoes were snatched up, and many refugees became blue and swollen in the process of fighting for potatoes, and they looked at Ren Xiaosu and seemed to be silently asking: Is there anything else?
Ren Xiaosu looked at them silently, of course there were a lot of potatoes, and he even installed half of the storage space for the sake of this trip.
But Ren Xiaosu spread his hands and said, "No, there are so many potatoes." ”
Everyone looked disappointed, but no one dared to question anything, and suddenly a man walked out of the crowd, holding a pistol in his hand and pointing at Ren Xiaosu: "You must have other food on you, hand it over, otherwise you can't stop the bullet even if you are an extraordinary person." ”
In normal times, ordinary people may not dare to threaten the transcendent like this even if they have a gun in their hands, but this man is really hungry and can't stand it.
Seeing that Ren Xiaosu didn't move, the man raised his voice: "Didn't you hear what I said?!Take out your pocket and let me see what's in it!Are there any compressed biscuits and chocolate? Candy is fine, I just saw you give that kid toffee!"
But as soon as the words fell, the big flicker beside Ren Xiaosu suddenly jumped up like a cheetah, and the man only felt that his eyes were sparkling, and the firearm in his hand was snatched into his hand by the big flicker.
Da Flicker sat back down by the campfire with his pistol, and with a flick of his wrist, the gun in his hand was scattered into a pile of parts.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at it, there were no bullets in the pistol, it seemed that it had been used up on the way to escape, and this man was just pretending to scare people in his hand.
Someone next to him muttered: "It turns out that there are no bullets in his gun, let's see if he dares to rob other people's things in the future!"
"Damn, I've had enough of him these days, now that he's out of guns......"
The man saw that the refugees around him were not kind to him, so he turned around and ran out of the crowd, not daring to stay longer.
Ren Xiaosu said with a smile: "Is there still such a wicked person around here, I can help you take revenge together." ”
It is true that the northwest lacks population and labor, but Ren Xiaosu does not have a good impression of this kind of player who bullies the weak and fears the hard in the refugee team, this kind of person is not worthy of the great rejuvenation of the northwest, it is better to clean it up now first.
The refugee replied, "No, he is the only one nearby." ”
Ren Xiaosu nodded: "That's good." ”
One refugee whispered, "Do you still have potatoes, my child has been hungry for three days, please give him a bite to eat." You look like a good person, if I wasn't for the children, I wouldn't have opened this mouth for you, please. ”
Ren Xiaosu shook his head ruthlessly: "I really don't have anything to eat with me, but I know where to eat, if you want to eat and live, you can come with me." ”
