Chapter 48: The Human Heart
On the way up the stairs, Chen said strangely: "If you can feed the people of a community, how much prey do you have to catch." ”
"There are at least a thousand people in a community waiting to be fed, what do you say?" Chen Yiming said.
Chen thought for a moment, then took a breath of cold air. "Oh my God, that won't be able to feed you at all......"
It's not that they can't be fed, but how can such a small number of people in the community hunting team feed so many people in the community.
Young adults go out to hunt, and the elderly, women, and children stay at home and wait for the men to bring back food.
It's a bit like hunting by primitive tribes in ancient times.
But the life of the primitive tribe was not as good as imagined, starvation was common, the males went out hunting, and the females also had to pick fruits. No one can be idle, everyone has their own clear division of labor. Even so, the survival of primitive tribes was very difficult.
In the community, Chen Yiming didn't see the concerted efforts, and he didn't know if the mentality of these people had not completely changed, maybe it was because there was still surplus food at home that made them not too nervous.
"There's a more important point. There are more than 6 million people in our Shanshui City, and there are thousands of communities like the one we live in. Chen Yiming didn't say the rest of the words, but Chen Jing understood.
These so-called hunting parties are just a gimmick, and they don't last long.
Perhaps after a while the hunting party will evolve into a different form, as for what form...... And who knows.
Back at home, Chen Yiming first searched his home carefully to make sure that no one else had come when they left, and no food had been lost.
Chen Yiming was a little relieved.
Chen Jing had already summoned a clever goblin craftsman.
The goblin craftsman showed great curiosity, and after a moment he ignored it, he disassembled the television.
Looking at the circuit board and various connecting wires inside, I fell into a daze.
Goblin craftsmen are smart though. But after all, he has never read a book or come into contact with modern civilization, and just a circuit board can blind it.
From time to time, goblin craftsmen come over and ask what it is. What is that, what is this for, what is that use.
At first, the two brothers were able to patiently give him answers, but after a while, they became a little bored.
"I really want to find this junior high school and high school physics and throw it to it. Chen Jing said silently.
"The landlord's house next door should have it. Chen Yiming said.
Chen Jing turned around and said to the goblin craftsman, "Don't worry, I'll find a few books for you to read later." ”
After dinner, the two brothers sat on the sofa and drank a bottle of fruit beer.
Outside the window, the sky darkened, and the moon rose quietly.
The voices in the community gradually became lively. The two got up, took the can, walked to the balcony, and looked down.
Some flashlights and the light of some candles lit up in the community, and I couldn't tell how many people were standing at a glance.
Chen Yiming was bored. After watching it for a while, he returned to the living room and leaned back on the couch with his eyes closed.
Chen Jing found it interesting. "Brother, I'll go down and take a look. ”
Chen Yiming nodded noncommittally, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Chen ran downstairs in a hurry.
It took about an hour before I returned.
After returning home, Chen Jing sat on the opposite side of the sofa and stared at Chen Yiming, with an uncontrollable expression on his face, waiting for Chen Yiming to take the initiative to speak.
Chen Yiming didn't ask what was happening in the community, and the old god sat comfortably on the sofa.
Chen Jing finally couldn't help but speak: "The hunting team is back, and their large army went to the suburbs for a walk today. ”
Chen Yiming nodded, and took over the conversation: "Then." ”
"And then they really just walked around the suburbs and didn't hunt anything. ”
Chen Yiming smiled dumbly.
That's really ......
"How many people are in the hunting party in the community?"
"There are more than 600 people, but only about 500 have come back now, and there are dozens of people who have not come back and don't know where they went. ”
Chen Yiming nodded.
Predictable.
If he could start out like an army, he would have been surprised.
"But there are also people who actually go to the forest. Chen Jing continued.
"The majority of the community hunting team basically went shopping in the suburbs, walked around several times, and came back only when their legs were sore.
I heard a lot of people there boasting that they had seen some wild monsters and were scared of them. But I feel like it's all made up, those guys can blow it better than me.
However, I heard that there were also a few people who broke away from the group and really went to the forest. ”
Chen Jing continued: "Some of those who went to the forest have returned, and some have not returned. ”
Now there is no signal, no internet.
Entertainment is gradually becoming empty.
Chen Jing seems to have awakened a special habit, and he seems to have become gossipy......
A sports student likes to gossip, which seems to sound a little strange?
"And just behind it, it seems that someone came back and was injured. However, the captain of the hunting party was very angry at the small number of men who had left the large group and entered the forest. And then they also had a fight. ”
Chen Yiming smiled dumbly. Shook his head.
"It feels like you've become a long-tongued woman. ”
"What a woman with a long tongue, I call it good at capturing information. Chen replied dissatisfied.
"The captain said, 'People like you who don't have the big picture, don't have a sense of teamwork, must be condemned.'" Chen laughed.
Chen Yiming shook his head, he didn't know what to say about him. "The captain you said won't be from the neighborhood committee. ”
"No, he's the on-site property manager. ”
“......”
At this moment, Chen Yiming heard the sound of the door closing from the next room.
It was the landlord next door who came back.
Chen Yiming got up from the sofa, unscrewed the handle of the door of his room and opened his door, and the corridor was dark.
Come to the door of the landlord next door.
Chen Yiming knocked on the door of the landlord next door.
Knock knock knock.
"Who?"
"It's my landlord. Chen Yiming's voice sounded.
There was silence inside, and then the door opened a crack, and the landlord stood behind the door and looked at Chen Yiming.
The landlord at this time brought Chen Yiming a different feeling.
It's like a different person, not at all like the lazy landlord uncle before.
The expression on the landlord's face suddenly melted, and he changed back to the mellow and delicious Uncle Nuan.
"It's a Ming, what's the matter?"
"Hmm...... Landlord, I have something I want to disturb you. "Oh, just tell me something. ”
"I guess just ask. Xiaomo's junior high school physics book is still there?"
"What?" the landlord was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.
"Well, you heard it right, I wanted you to borrow that junior high school physics book, which I could trade for food. Chen Yiming said sincerely.
Silent......
"Okay, I shouldn't have lost it if I went to find it. ”
