Xu Changde did not go on patrol, he followed Zhao Xiang from a distance. When he entered the elevator room, the battle was over, and Zhao Xiang sat on the ground against the wall and smoked.

"Owner, this ......"

Zhao Xiang didn't raise his head: "I killed it." ”

"Good kill! It's just that there is too much blood, and it is troublesome to clean. ”

Zhao Xiang raised his head: "Is it clean?" ”

Xu Changde did not hesitate: "The owner, you go back first, and leave it to me here." ”

Zhao Xiang stood up, patted him on the shoulder, walked to the dark grid and took out the scabbard and propped it up against the wall, and said, "Changde, I am a person with no ambitions, all I want is to live my little life comfortably. ”

Xu Changde didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Xiang said again: "If you follow me, I may not be able to make you prosperous and rich, this Tang knife will be given to you." After speaking, he pressed a button on the elevator, and it was Zhao Di who answered.

"Is your sister up there?"

"Yes, sir, why is there blood on your face?" The camera facing the walkie-talkie above can only see Zhao Xiang's face.

"You take some big garbage bags and ask her to take them down for me."

Two minutes later, Zhao Yan came down with a roll of garbage bags. Seeing the three corpses on the ground, Zhao Yan did not react abnormally.

The body was put in a garbage bag and tied up, and was pushed away by Xu Changde in a cart.

The remaining two cleaned the elevator and never said a word.

Killing people is not an easy task, it does not refer to the process of killing, but the psychological pressure to endure. When Zhao Xiang was young, he often killed, from fish, birds, turtles, turtles, snakes to chickens, ducks, geese, cats, dogs, and rabbits, he killed them all, and he had no psychological pressure to kill these small animals at that time, because he felt that these were just food. It wasn't until he was fifteen years old that the body of a woman who had committed suicide by drinking pesticides was carried by her family in a black cloth and walked in front of him, and the woman's hands fell out of the cloth and swayed like a bloodied fowl. Since then, he has lost the courage and guts to kill.

The starry sky in the Southern Song Dynasty was very bright, brighter than in the countryside when I was a child. Zhao Xiang lay on the stone wall, smoking cigarette after cigarette.

Zhao Yan sat beside him silently, and also looked up at the starry sky: "The first time to kill? ”

Zhao Xiang didn't answer: "You shouldn't stay." ”

"The first time I killed someone, I didn't dare to sleep for three days, and then after I got better, I killed a few more people, and I got used to it, and I always told myself that I killed the most heinous people."

"What about me?"

"You're the first person I've killed, but you're still alive."

"You should go, stay with me and you won't get anything."

"You are a good person, and Master is also a good person. It's just that you don't think the same. ”

Zhao Xiang sat up and stared at Zhao Yan's clear and bright eyes under the starlight: "As long as I still have a little strength, I will resist those who want to knead me at will, even if your master succeeds in keeping you by my side, even if I fall in love with you, my face and mouth that are always high are still disgusting to me." ”

Zhao Yan didn't respond, holding her legs and propping her chin on her knees, staring blankly at the people patrolling down the mountain.

"You yourself know that in her eyes you are just a tool, why should you listen to her, even if she uses you as a bargaining chip, is it just subservient?"

Zhao Yan still stared blankly and did not react, Zhao Xiang got up and took off his coat and put it on her, and then went down the wall and entered the house.

There is always a priority in things, and the biggest problem now is the chaos of the people. Everything else, for now, seems to be able to take a break.

The next morning, Zhao Xiang was energetic and devoted to a new day.

Six or seven hundred people want to dig a 10-kilometer-long circular river in a short period of time, which is tantamount to a fool's dream, and more and more victims gather on the other side of the embankment, and from time to time they gather into a small group to climb over the embankment to investigate. Sometimes they would take advantage of the patrol of the hospital team to quickly rush down the river embankment and snatch some food, and one of the two and a half pigs that Mrs. Xu's family raised on the cabbage beach was carried away.

Aunt Xu cried and grabbed the ground, and the nursing team chased them to the embankment, and then retreated back - there were too many victims over there, and it was still a problem to rush in and get out. In addition, people have compassion, and most of them were one of them some time ago, so they can understand the feelings of the victims very well.

Zhao Xiang said that human life is the most important, and it is best not to have a head-on conflict unless it is a last resort.

But not long after the nursing team returned, another handful of victims also rushed down and carried away Mrs. Xu's other pig.

Mrs. Xu rolled on the construction site of Xincun and asked He Defang to find Zhao Xiang for compensation.

He Defang didn't have anything to do with this shrew, so he found Sandezi to persuade him, but he didn't expect that Sandezi was slapped by his mother and sat on the ground as soon as he squatted down.

Zhao Xiang walked by, but as if nothing had happened, he called He Defang to discuss things.

Aunt Xu jumped up from the ground: "Brother Xiang, you compensate me for two pigs!" ”

Zhao Xiang pretended to be stupid: "When did I owe you two pigs?" ”

"Those victims robbed my pigs, but your nursing home didn't get them back."

Bother! It's bad to encounter this kind of bird thing early in the morning!

But many pairs of eyes watched, Zhao Xiang could only smile patiently: "Aunt Xu, you are looking for the wrong person, the disaster victims robbed your pig, you should go to them to theorize, how did you find my head?" ”

"I'm not looking for you, who are you looking for? I'll look for you! I've heard that those victims are coming for you, you didn't look at the black head, just waiting to gather enough people to rob you, a big family, without you, how could my pig be robbed, you pay my pig! ”

Zhao Xiang laughed out loud, laughing so much that everyone was inexplicable, and tears came out of laughter: "Aunt Xu, then tell me how I want to compensate for your pigs, do I buy two heads and pay you back or buy them with money?" ”

"Brother Xiang, you can't open this ......," He Defang suppressed his voice and persuaded.

Aunt Xu stood up, wiped her snot and tears on her clothes, and smiled: "Okay, you just bought my two pigs in the canteen, and I don't have a livelihood without pigs, you arrange a job for me, I want to go to the canteen to be a cook!" ”

Zhao Xiang had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold: "Then you can move things to your house again, right?" ”

When Aunt Xu heard this, she splashed again: "Brother Xiang, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense!" When did I move things home, if you don't make it clear to me today, I'll die to show you! ”

"Mother! You're not ashamed! Xu Sande, who had been holding back for a long time, finally shouted hysterically, "Brother Xiang, don't you know what to do with us, isn't it enough!" You won't give me a way to live, mother! If you want a pig, I'll get it back for you now! As he spoke, he picked up a machete and rushed in the direction of the embankment.

Aunt Xu was stunned and hugged her son, crying and shouting for help, but no one paid attention. What should everyone do, as if this farce never happened.

Xu Changde was in charge of the defensive patrol on the front line of the river embankment, and he had to come over to report such an incident.

Zhao Xiang didn't want to hear this, so he stopped Xu Changde with a wave of his hand: "It's still as I said before, as long as it's not a head-on conflict, even if it's not a head-on conflict, it's not easy for anyone to live." Patrols are as usual, training is as usual. ”

After Xu Changde left, he turned his head to look at Chen Hanlin and He Defang and explained: "I will go to prepare for it in a while, set up two soup kitchens on the embankment, go to the granary to support two thousand catties of rice a day, and then find some articulate ......."

More than 20 clever members of the nursing team were sent out and blended in with the victims in a circle......

Two sheds on the embankment were quickly erected,

The news of the Zhao family's construction of a soup kitchen shed in Xiaozhishan spread quickly, and some of the victims were still fishing in the river without hearing the news, but a large number of people from the four towns and eight miles had already heard the news and turned into disaster victims, and they also lined up to receive porridge.

It was close to noon, and the soup kitchen had not yet begun to put porridge, and there was already a long queue on the embankment.
