Chapter 343: Red Cotton
Fengmian Village is a very ordinary village on the Deccan Plateau, and most of the residents of the village make a living from cotton cultivation, and there are also a few residents who grow castor beans and tantars. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The village was originally a pre-war site, and the residents demolished the pre-war buildings and built their houses out of loess everywhere. The interior of the Deccan Plateau is arid and rainless, and the houses built of loess can be maintained for a long time.
The cotton boom rolled up in Xinlinfen has also swept here. In the square in the center of the village, several tattered trucks are parked, and their bodies are filled with bundles of cotton.
More than a dozen armed men in dirty combat uniforms pointed guns at all the residents.
A blind leader stepped on the edge of the well of the village's well, scanning all the inhabitants with a cold gaze.
"Is there any cotton hidden? Give it all to Lao Tzu, or I will make you regret it for the rest of your life! ”
They are all employees of Loncin Cotton Purchasing Company, and they rely on Huixin Bank to forcibly harvest cotton from the villagers for Du Zirui.
Du Zirui also has dozens of marauders under his command, doing things for him that are not suitable for him on the surface. Within a month, Du Zirui's men looted cotton stored in the railway platform warehouse, and attacked the railway transportation line and the convoy of the cotton purchasing company, causing panic throughout the Deccan Plateau.
It's just that the battle with the Ouroboros attracts most people's attention, and they don't have time to pay attention to these little things. Even the security contractor's system was manipulated by Du Zirui, and none of the tasks related to the liquidation of the looters appeared.
But to the headache of these marauders and Loncin Cotton Purchasing Company, the Brotherhood of Freedom suddenly became active in the wilderness as well. They co-opted the village into cooperatives and trained the armed villagers to resist the marauders. The village they trained in became much harder to bite, and if you weren't careful, you would break your teeth.
To add insult to injury, the Brotherhood of Liberty is constantly attacking and provoking them. Their soldiers were well-armed, and they all seemed to be highly trained, and if they encountered them, they would win or lose more, and many of the marauders and employees of the Loncin Cotton Company had already died at their hands.
Now that the company wants to seize the cotton, it has become more and more difficult, and it is rare to meet a village that is not connected with the Freedom Brotherhood, and they naturally want to squeeze oil out of the stone to fulfill the share that Du Zirui has set for them.
An old man with gray hair stepped out of the crowd of residents.
"Tong .. Manager Tong, the cotton in our whole village is already here, and there is really no more. ”
His heart is dripping blood, the price of cotton has risen recently, but the price of Loncin Cotton Acquisition Company to harvest cotton is lower than before, which makes them how willing. If you can transport cotton to Xinlinfen by yourself, the money you earn will be enough to make the whole village live a prosperous life.
As the village head, he has been organizing the young people in the village to form a convoy. It wasn't that the Freedom Brotherhood hadn't contacted them, but the greedy village chief rejected them outright. You must know that if the cotton can be bought, he can swallow fifty percent of it himself, which is enough to work in the new Linfen resettlement site, and as a city person, how can he go to engage in any kind of cooperative with the Freedom Brotherhood.
As soon as the cooperative is opened, what power does he, the village head, have?
But I didn't expect the Freedom Brotherhood to leave, and this Loncin Cotton Acquisition Company came. Loncin said it was a company, but it was not much different from the marauders, and it also raised a large number of thugs, and in previous years, many villagers who wanted to resist were cut their throats and thrown into the wilderness to feed the wolves. This year, the price of cotton has soared, and even more villagers have been killed by them.
"Really?"
A smile squeezed out of the corner of Manager Tong's mouth, walked into the crowd, looked around, grabbed a little girl's arm, and pulled her out.
The girl was caught in pain and fear, and immediately burst into tears. A young woman cried and tried to pull her daughter back, but was smashed back with the butt of a gun by two staff members.
Manager Tong pulled out a dagger from his calf and placed it on the girl's face. The dagger was sharp, and immediately cut a bloody streak on the girl's delicate face.
"Say, is there any cotton left in the village?"
The village chief's eyes rolled.
"No, Manager Tong, it's really gone, even if you kill me, I won't be able to conjure cotton for you."
Manager Tong didn't speak, and the dagger in his hand was pressed, cutting a hideous wound on the girl's cheek.
"Say it again?"
"Really... Not really. ”
The village chief gritted his teeth and said.
Manager Tong wanted to row again, but at this time, the young woman let out a scream.
"Yes! I know there is! There is still cotton in the village, and the village chief has it in stock, and he wants to pull it to Xinlinfen! ”
The young woman's words were interrupted when she was interrupted, and the village chief kicked her in the waist so hard that she was thrown to the ground and beaten.
"You don't move anything, what are you talking about? When did the village hide cotton. ”
He looked old, but his strength was not small at all, and he wanted to kick the young woman to death.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, one of the village chief's legs was broken, and the broken leg fell to the ground, and he rolled on the ground in pain.
Manager Tong laughed, put away the pistol with one hand, and stabbed with a dagger in the other. After the young woman said that there was still cotton, he even wanted to kill the girl.
"No!"
The young woman, who was covered in dirt after being kicked, screamed.
The next moment, Manager Tong's head exploded entirely, and the headless corpse shook and fell to the ground. The little girl looked at the corpse in a daze, screamed, and ran back to her mother.
"Sniper! There are snipers! ”
The armed men of Loncin immediately crawled on the ground and hid behind the bunker.
"Damn, it's supposed to be the Wolfheart Queen of the Brotherhood of Freedom, start the truck, let's get out of here!"
The Freedom Brotherhood has a female gunman with good marksmanship, killing the marauders and the people of the Loncin Cotton Acquisition Company. Most of them had been killed before they even saw her. On one occasion, a group of more than 300 marauders set a trap to kill her, but only nine of them survived by hiding among the corpses.
After this time, all the Marauders called her Queen of Wolfheart and shy away from her.
Before the truck could start, a shot pierced the driver in the seat, and the rest of the people were killed by bullets from nowhere, blood staining the snow-white cotton on the body.
All the villagers looked at the corpses in a daze, and for a moment, there was only the scream of the village chief's ghost crying wolf. (To be continued.) )
