Chapter 344: Reserves
Fengmian Village has been plunged into chaos, with villagers panicking and packing up their belongings, filled with the cries of children and the roars of livestock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As for the village chief who had broken his leg, no one paid any attention to him. What he had done before had already chilled the hearts of these villagers. He could still scream a few times at first, but now he couldn't even speak, and he was dying.
These ordinary villagers, compared to Loncin Cotton Purchasing Company, are similar to sheep in captivity, and they are taken and taken. Now the company's manager Tong has died in the village, although it was killed by the Freedom Brotherhood, but Loncin Cotton Acquisition Company will not care about this.
Loncin is not an opponent of the Freedom Brotherhood, and will definitely make fun of the villagers. If you don't escape from Fengmian Village quickly, I'm afraid that the whole village will be slaughtered by then.
The inhabitants of the wilderness also had little possessions, and it was not long before the people of the village were ready to leave.
The Deccan Plateau is vast and sparsely populated, and land is not very valuable, but people are a very important resource. Many of them were able-bodied young men who carried enough food and cotton to find another suitable place to stay.
Just as they were about to leave, a convoy of SUVs drove in from afar, their tires rubbing against the dry ground of the Deccan plateau, rolling up a large amount of smoke and dust, and pulling a smoke dragon behind the buggy.
All the villagers were startled, and immediately lined up in a neat row and knelt on the ground.
With a screeching sound of brakes, the off-road convoy stopped, and a group of heavily armed soldiers in cotton and linen uniforms and steel cuirasses stepped out of the car.
Their steel armor was painted with the emblems of gears and sickles, and all the soldiers stood in a neat line, their eyes resolute and alert, completely different from those of the crooked, sloppy marauders, the company's armament.
Li Mei tightened the rifle on her back and got out of the car, she looked at the villagers who were kneeling on the ground with complicated eyes. During the time that Li Mu was away, she was in charge of the expansion of the Freedom Brotherhood. She can be said to have dealt with villagers all over the Deccan Plateau, and is accustomed to seeing all kinds of villagers who are wooden, cunning, or timid.
After a villager joined the cooperative, he took the grain distributed by the cooperative and fled with funds. There are also villagers who work hard and sacrifice their lives with the enemy in order to protect the property of the cooperative during the raid of the marauders.
All kinds of experiences have made her realize the complexity of human nature and deal with things more pragmatically. Earlier, when she came to talk to the villagers of Fengmian Village about joining the cooperative, she was already aware of the village's hidden selfishness. But she couldn't bear it, and after receiving Loncin Company's target on Fengmian Village, she hurried to it again.
She knew that many village chiefs regarded the village and its villagers as their own private property, acting as agents of companies and marauders in the village, but also had a lot of prestige among the villagers. If you kill him in front of all the villagers, I am afraid that it will arouse the evil feelings of the villagers. Even if they join the cooperative of the Freedom Brotherhood, they will be in disobedience, and it will drag down the power of the Freedom Brotherhood.
Only after the village chief was exposed to the military oppression of Loncin Company, betrayed the interests of the villagers, and completely bankrupted his prestige, did the villagers be willing to follow the Brotherhood of Freedom.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that the village chief was more greedy than she thought, and Loncin was more cruel than she expected. They killed the village chief directly, saving the Freedom Brotherhood a lot of trouble.
"The Brotherhood of Freedom doesn't kneel, you don't need to kneel."
She knew that for a long time, the oppression of marauders and companies had filled the hearts of these villagers with cowardice and servility. As long as it's not a matter of life and death, I always like to kneel down to solve trouble.
"I... I would like to join the co-op... Will you really protect me from the plunderers of the marauders? ”
The villagers were still kneeling, only the mother from before raised her head and looked at Li Mei. She looked at the hideous wound on her daughter's face distressedly, and really didn't want her daughter to live this life again.
"We're not only going to protect you, we're going to teach you how to fight!"
Li Mei shook her hand cordially and picked up her child.
The girl felt the kindness in Li Mei's heart, and obediently let Li Mei hug herself.
"My sister is so beautiful, and her body is so fragrant!"
Her bright eyes looked at Li Mei, and Li Mei caressed the wound on her face in distress.
"This is because of the soap, and when my little sister grows up, she will look as beautiful as her sister. As long as my sister heals the wound on your face, don't move, it may be a little itchy. ”
After several battles, Li Mei's strength has become much stronger, and she has mastered a new gem spiritual ability. Her fingers lit up with an emerald light, pressed it on the wound, and with a light touch, the original hideous wound began to squirm and heal, and after a while, it scabbed and peeled off, and there was no trace to be seen.
"Thank you... Thank you! ”
The mother took her daughter from Li Mei's hand and kept saying thank you to her.
"It's fine, it's just a gesture." Li Mei said, looking at the others: "What about you, would you like to join the cooperative of the Freedom Brotherhood?" ”
All the villagers looked at each other and finally nodded.
A smile appeared on Li Mei's face.
"Go and a few people to drive the truck of Loncin Company, and the rest of the people help the villagers move things, and the actions are all quick!"
The soldiers standing behind her immediately stepped forward and helped the villagers carry their luggage to the car.
Most of the settlements on the Deccan Plateau are scattered in the wilderness, and some villages are even uninhabited within a radius of tens of kilometers. This situation is very unmanageable. Therefore, the Freedom Brotherhood will move all the settlements that join the cooperative to the vicinity of the same area.
With the Freedom Brotherhood soldiers clearing up, the mutated creatures that often harass the colony and destroy farmland are hunted down. Coupled with abundant water and intensive cultivation, the yield of grain and cotton can almost double.
It didn't take long for all the villagers to squeeze into the truck. The cotton that had been loaded on the truck was unloaded and loaded into the warehouse in Fengmian Village.
The trucks were not loaded enough to hold the cotton. Li Mei is going to make an extra trip and come to transport the cotton next time.
"You don't have to worry, the Brotherhood of Liberty will buy this cotton at the price of cotton in the middle state of the past year, after deducting the cost of shipping, and it will not make you suffer."
Li Mei said, closing the door of the warehouse. Li Mu sent a message not long ago, asking her to do her best to collect cotton to thwart Du Zirui's conspiracy. (To be continued.) )
