"Xiaozhi, I estimated that in the past two days, I have walked five miles at most." While eating, Xiao Jie suddenly calculated the itinerary for the past two days.

Zhiwen nodded, he thought about it for a while, and it was estimated that he had walked such a small way.

Since I saw the dead mother and daughter the day before yesterday, I have found people lying dead on the side of the road one after another, some lying motionless on the road, and some are like the mother and daughter, covered by the grass on the side of the road.

With Niuniu's nose, dead bodies within ten meters on both sides of the road can be found by her.

To be honest, at the beginning, Zhiwen took the initiative to collect the funerals for these people because of his unforbearance and his own quirks.

But after two days, the number of people starving to death has increased, and while Zhiwen can't bear it, he also wonders if his approach is a bit stupid.

Because of this delay, Zhiwen didn't pay attention to it, digging wild vegetables was originally a cover-up.

First, he felt that he had delayed his journey because of this matter, and second, what was the use of doing such a thankless job? Not to mention that other people may be dissatisfied with this, Zhiwen himself muttered.

No, what does Xiao Jie mean by this sentence now?

"What's wrong, Xiao Jie?" Zhiwen asked, "Do you think I'm stupid?" ”

"Xiaozhi, don't get me wrong." Xiao Jie raised his hand and stopped Xiao Ying Niang and Xiao Ying who wanted to interject on the side.

"Since you rescued our family from that time, we are a real family, and you are the backbone of this family, no matter what you want to do, we will support you."

"I haven't finished saying that sentence just now, I just want to ask, haven't you always been in a hurry to cross the Yellow River, and now this matter is so delayed, do you ...... Aren't you in a hurry? Xiao Jie finally finished asking his question.

"Why not rush? But I ...... I really can't bear to see these people being abused after they die. Zhiwen said loudly, he vaguely felt in his heart that there was a reason why he had to do this, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.

Everyone was silent, and no one could bear it.

"Smack!" There was a bang.

Two dead rats landed in front of Zhiwen and Xiaojie, bloody and smuggling.

Zhiwen's eyelids jumped, and then he shouted: "Xiaolin, come out!" ”

Before the meal was finished, he was disgusted by these two dead mice, Zhiwen was a little excited, and his heart was on fire at this time, he knew that it was done by Xiao Lin.

"Brother Zhi, you have been helping people collect the funeral in the past two days, and the dishes may not be enough, so just accept it." Kobayashi stood up from the grass not far away and explained.

"Who's to say it's not enough?" Zhiwen drank loudly and shook the remaining half of the cake in his hand, "You can't eat enough, and you still come to this idleness?" ”

This kid is now the leader of the old gang of little beggars, digging wild vegetables, catching mice, and barely making ends meet.

In the past two days, seeing that Zhiwen and they were busy collecting the dead bodies, even the time to dig wild vegetables was delayed, and they wanted to repay the favor and wanted to share some food for Zhiwen and them, but they were afraid that Zhiwen would not accept them, so they threw the vegetables far away, but this mouse was the first time to throw it.

"Brother!" Nan Nan pulled Zhiwen's arm, "Xiao Lin is also kind. ”

"Kind? I knew he was kind, or I would have beaten him up a long time ago. "Zhiwen's anger has not subsided.

"Come and get it back, Kobayashi." Xiao Yingniang beckoned to Xiao Lin and said angrily, "This child, we have something to eat, take care of yourself first." ”

Xiao Lin smiled, walked over stupidly, and took the two dead mice in his hands, he saw that Zhiwen and them were holding a piece of cake in their hands, they really didn't have to eat these two mice, so naturally they wouldn't be polite.

"How? Is there enough food to eat? Xiao Yingniang asked with concern.

"Also...... Okay. Xiao Lin hesitated, there was food, but it was not distributed to everyone, there was not much, mainly because they wanted to rely on themselves now and did not want to beg anymore, and the food in their hands was less than the original.

Zhiwen knew their predicament, although the anger had not subsided, it had not been broken.

However, when he saw Xiao Lin standing by the grave with a mouse, his heart suddenly moved, and a thought came to him.

"Don't slap your swollen face and be fat! Not enough to eat, right? After having this thought, Zhiwen's anger also went down, and he said to Xiao Lin, "These two rats happened to be caught today, right?" ”

Xiao Lin's mouth moved, but in the end he didn't make a sound and acquiesced.

"Tomorrow! Bring your gang to help us work, and I'll be responsible for your food when the time comes. Zhiwen couldn't help but give the order.

A few members of their family buried the ownerless body, which was still a little busy and tired, and it was not bad to find a few people to share it.

By the way, you can also take care of Xiaolin's gang, and they may not accept giving them things for no reason.

And when others are hungry and cold, you can pull him regardless of gains and losses, and it's okay to do a small favor, but this relationship can't last for a long time.

Zhiwen also believes in the concept of Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master in the Tang Dynasty, that is, "one day without doing, one day without eating", if you want to harvest, you have to pay first.

He didn't know that he wanted Xiao Lin and them to join him before, but Zhiwen felt that Xiao Lin and them were neither related to him, nor were they like Xiaoying's family and Dazhu, who had suffered with him.

I didn't think that Xiao Lin could provide any help on the way to escape, so when Xiao Lin was retained, Zhiwen didn't open his mouth to let Xiao Lin stay.

Zhiwen doesn't want to be a virgin, there is no reason to save people and have to continue to support him.

But now that they can't be busy, as long as Xiao Lin and the others are willing to come over to help with the work, it's no problem to keep them fed, which can be regarded as hiring Xiao Lin and them with food.

"Work?!" Xiao Lin's eyes widened, and he pointed to the grave bag next to him, "That's it...... What is this? ”

"yes!" Zhiwen replied, "Don't worry, you can't eat enough!" ”

"Do you want to do it? Give me an accurate word. Zhiwen asked again.

"! How not to do it if you have something to eat. Kobayashi said with a grin, "It's just...... Brother Zhi, we have added a few more mouths, and we have to dig a pit to collect the burial, you ...... food"

In the past few days, he has been desperately looking for food with people, and the grim reality has made his arrogance restrain a lot, and he no longer refuses Zhiwen's kindness, does not steal, does not rob, does not beg, works and eats, what is there to be embarrassed about.

"You don't have to worry about this!" Zhiwen knew what Xiao Lin was going to say, and before he could finish speaking, he interrupted, "In the future, it will be up to Da Zhu, Xiao Jie and you to dig the pit." ”

"Huh? What about you? Kobayashi asked.

"Aunt Song cooks, and I take the rest of the people to dig wild vegetables and make every effort to ensure everyone's food. Comments? Zhiwen asked rhetorically.

"No comment! No comments! Kobayashi hurriedly explained, "That's fine!" ”

"Okay, Xiaozhi, don't scare him." Xiao Yingniang said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, when we're not cooking, we'll do it together." ”

"Hehe, Aunt Song, I know, Brother Zhi and I are talking and playing." Xiao Lin said with a smile that he knew Zhiwen's unique job of finding wild vegetables, and now it was okay, it could be regarded as finding a backer for those brothers.

"Have you eaten enough tonight?" Zhiwen asked again, "Don't come over tomorrow, you are all bored." ”

"It's not enough, but ......," Kobayashi smiled and held up the two mice in his hand, "plus the two of them are enough." ”

Zhiwen looked at Xiao Lin with a blank face, he had to hide his disgusted expression and eyes for mice, he really couldn't figure out how much meat could be left of these two rats, they were skinned and eviscerated.

"Xiaolin, this is the extra cake tonight, you take it." But it was Nan Nan who handed the extra two cakes to Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin subconsciously didn't want it, since the two evil beggars died, they hadn't begged for food again, but when they thought about working with Zhiwen and them tomorrow, well, these two cakes can be regarded as food taken in advance.

didn't refuse Nannan's kindness, and reached out to take two wild vegetable cakes.

Zhiwen watched him carry two mice in one hand and two cakes in the other, with a chill on his back, and the hand holding the cake must have touched the mouse.

"Xiao Lin, this mouse is cleaned and cooked before eating," Zhiwen couldn't help but confess, "Also, wash your hands well before eating, next to the river." ”
