Chapter 80: The Rat Head Machete
However, Lindai did not give any food to the displaced people. She didn't have much food to share. Her own food only came from the men sent by Butterfly Xiaohua to protect her. The men refused to give her more, and only a little ration was given for each meal.
Lin Dai is not the kind of mother who feeds passers-by first even if she is hungry, or cuts her own flesh and feeds others.
She knew that Butterfly Xiaohua was not that kind of virgin, and neither were these men.
They must have other plans to follow the tide of displaced people.
Based on what she saw along the way, she believed that the men were buying the population.
When the field is cheap, you buy the field; If the stock falls, you can buy the stock; Human life is worthless, you can buy people.
At this time, you don't even need any gold bars or silver tickets. All you need is a handful of bright corn, and you can buy a woman with a strong body and a good ass, or a man who is honest and willing to work as an animal.
The problem is that there are too many displaced people. You have to buy them all, and you need not a handful of corn, but a rice warehouse. Who can move around with a rice barn?
And if you really buy so many people, how do you store and manage them? Humans are much more troublesome than animals. If you drive a flock of 10,000 sheep, it's just a few sheepdogs, a whip, and a whistle to make them look around for grass. If you're in a hurry with 10,000 people...... Maybe they'll get upset and come back and eat you. You'll have to lock them up with shackles and beat them up from time to time to get them honest...... Where to find so many shackles and so many thugs? If you really make such a big formation, won't the government along the road trouble you?
No, no, no. Butterfly Xiaohua and these men didn't even bring rice barns.
The luggage they carried was just enough for them to bear. At first glance, it is not clear that it is food. Even if someone did see it and come up and grab it, they would still be able to resist it - just the right amount of food.
When they arrived at a city, they saw that it looked like an urn filled with sesame oil, which attracted countless displaced rats. In fact, the later rats were no longer able to lick the sesame oil, but the rats were always reluctant to leave, so they gathered, squeaked, and bumped into the urn, and saw that they were about to break the urn.
It's such a critical time.
The man went to see a man in the city.
It's like Jincheng has Uncle Nangong, and there are hooligan leaders who leave the city and leave the city. What city does the underworld not have a black rat head, and the gray road does not have a gray rat head? Of course. There are also white roads, but they are not involved here.
The men went to meet the flower leader of the city.
They had apparently already contacted the flower leader. The flower boss asked them directly: "Brought?" ”
They said, "Bring it." So he put a bag of dried beans, a bundle of leeks with roots, and a piece of meat on the table.
The flower boss looked at these things, just like the down-and-out Jianghu people looked at the Heavenly Sword, and the bankrupt merchant looked at the treasure of the Alluring City.
Beans swell when exposed to water. Only five beans, no more than ten. I soaked it in water and sent it out. To a hungry man. He had enough food for the whole day. He will not starve to death.
Leeks are a plant that grows very quickly. And you can eat it as soon as it grows. Rooting is also fast. It is not particularly picky about the water and soil environment. Plant the leeks. Cultivate it well, save it, and have the vegetables you need for the day.
And there is meat!
The flower leader looked at the piece of meat with an expression of disbelief. I wanted to reach out and touch it, but I didn't dare to really touch it, so I asked Ai Ai, "This, is this really a ...... of meat?" ”
The men nodded.
The so-called meat, also known as meat mushroom, "looks like meat." Attached to a boulder, the head and tail have it, and it is a living thing. The red ones are like coral, the white ones are like fat, the black ones are like lacquer, the green ones are like green feathers, the yellow ones are like purple gold, and they are all bright and penetrating like solid ice". Cut a slice, and slowly it grows back. Separate it so that each part can grow on its own. The so-called "exhaustion of food, recovery and rebirth as before"!
It's like a leek.
And its vitality is stronger than that of leeks! It's really not freezing to death, starving and thirsting.
Why did such a species that could grow become a cherished species instead of occupying the earth's surface? Because if it is not buried deep underground, after some time, it will slowly decay and die. It's like a monster that runs out of energy. What if you bury them back in the ground and recuperate...... Because it takes a long, long time, there is a good chance that you won't be able to find them when you dig the ground again. God knows what's going on underground. Even, after such a long time, it is very likely that all kinds of things have happened on the ground, and it is very likely that there will be no you at all.
Besides, human beings are not creatures who love to share, dig up and look at meat, despise brooms and cherish themselves, hide themselves and eat slowly, hoping to prolong life and live forever, who wants to share with everyone to eat, or even raise them on a large scale?
So meat is still a very precious thing.
Until there was a butterfly smile, with the help of the resources of the business to get such a piece of meat, the first thing was to test whether it was really after cutting a piece, it could grow back immediately? He found out that it really was! It's not "immediately", it's really fast. You can just watch it grow.
Then try to separate them, can each piece grow?
And it turned out again!
They can also grow faster if they are properly watered and fertilized.
Butterfly Xiaohua thinks that this thing can be used. After the war, he was more sure of what he was going to do.
Distribute meat and other food to buy the population!
One transaction at a time is too cumbersome and too difficult to control, so get a rat head on each ground. The Salt Gang - no, no, it should be called Butterfly Marquis' men - gave the food to the rat head, who was responsible for distributing the food and harvesting the allegiance of the outcasts.
The rat head in front of him, looking at the staple food, vegetables and meat, was certainly delighted, but the facial muscles twitched a little hideously at the same time.
He looked up to the sky and laughed: "Good! You have kept your promises. ”
"Yes." The men of the Butterfly Marquis did not move.
The corners of the rat's mouth twitched: "Then I will obey mine!" ”
The men of the Butterfly Marquis were silent. The silence was like a "please".
The rat's head shouted "Wow yes": "Here comes the knife!" ”
The little minions immediately came with knives, nine-ring golden-backed machetes.
"Bastard!" The rat head scolded angrily, "What do I want this knife for? ”
"......" The little minions didn't turn their heads all of a sudden: hasn't the boss always used this knife?
"Can I chop off my own fingers with this knife?!" This rat's head is really going to vomit blood.
"Oh!" The minions remember: not long ago, these men provoked them, and as a result, a bet was reached. If they could bring the food, the rat's head would cut off its finger.
Apparently the rat head lost.
If you lose, keep your promise, and you can be a good man.
It's just that the knife is too long and heavy, and it's not so convenient to turn around and cut off your fingers. It's really not as good as a sword. The sword has a sharp point and two blades, which can scratch people from any angle, and it is light, so it is very convenient to attack or return to kill yourself. Could it be that the sword is the main pillar of the weapon? It's as if the Wenwu lyre is the main pillar of all the pianos.
The little minions had to change the rat's head with a smaller knife, and persuaded the rat's head: You don't have to cut off your fingers! How bad! How painful it hurts to cut your fingers! What will I do after I cut it......
There are also little minions who try to intercede with the men of Diehou.
The rat kicked the little minions down with one kick: "I didn't fall into my majesty!" ”
Knife up.
The knife falls.
The men of the Butterfly Marquis shook for a moment.
One man on the left and one on the right held the knife of the rat's head. Saved his fingers under the blade.
This rat's head and heart are like bungee jumping, and suddenly the rope breaks, and it almost hits the ground, and it is suddenly caught by the safety net. Man is saved, but his heart is still hanging in the air.
"-What are you doing?" He struggled to save his face, "Let go of me!" I mean what I say! And threw out a long list of incisions and boasts on the rivers and lakes.
In fact, they all know that this rat head will not cut his finger again. Human courage is sometimes just that. It's gone. Some people commit suicide, if you save him, he won't go again. Repeated self-harm and suicide are apparently mentally distorted to a certain extent. This rat's head hasn't gotten to that point yet.
The man of the Butterfly Marquis let go of him, and he stopped cutting off his fingers. The man of the Butterfly Marquis talked to him, and he listened.
The words are, "Can you help us in other ways?" We had a hard time and didn't know what to do. ”
The rat head breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. He was worried that others would take advantage of their own kindness and want to repay him as a slave. This is unacceptable to him. He could only grit his teeth and chop his fingers again. However, these people also have difficulties that cannot be solved? Oh hehe! He'd like to hear it.
These people say they have a big farm and want to recruit workers, but not now. They want to hire some long-term workers first, and then pull them over when the time is right, hoping that this rat head will help them control people first.
The rat's head says of course you can! I believe that the homeless people are also willing! When the food is distributed, the rat head can register and control all the displaced people with his men, and once the big farm is ready, transport the displaced people over. I believe that the government is also happy to see it.
Diehou's subordinates said that they could not let the government know, because of tax and other issues...... You know.
The rat head immediately showed that he understood too well! Okay, then act covertly. The people of the underworld are too good at this kind of secret operation! In fact, it would be nice to develop all the outcasts into his subordinates! There is food and drink, and this task is not difficult to complete.
Diehou's subordinates said: Actually, there is one more thing...... But it's too hard.
The rat head asked, "What is it?" Don't underestimate him! Maybe he'll be able to do it! (To be continued......)
