Chapter 187: Vegetable Stealing Squad
"Be quiet, don't get discovered."
"Well, Brother Liuzi, how far is it?"
"Soon, just ahead."
A few dark shadows sneakily walked through the mountains and forests, taking advantage of the spilled moonlight.
I don't know how far I walked, but I finally stopped not far from a field.
"Is this it? Brother Liuzi? ”
The person who spoke looked at the moving torch on the field, and couldn't help but be nervous.
The person called Liuzi observed carefully and nodded: "Well, yes, this is it, you have to be careful, they have patrols, don't get caught." ”
"We can save it!"
After the sixth son told him again, a group of people dispersed.
The six sons have been exploring this land for several days.
Unlike the rice and wheat grown elsewhere, most of the crops in this village are strange and exotic.
The only thing that is certain is that they can be eaten!
And it's very convenient, you can dig it out and wash it and gnaw it, and you don't need to make a fire.
You know, making a fire will attract the prying eyes of others.
Compared to those millet taro, this crop is more suitable for them!
"The leaves of that crop seem to look like this." Rokuko touched the edge of a field and tried to keep his eyes open to make out the leaves he touched.
The blades are the size of a palm and have long ......
Yes, that's it!
The sixth son couldn't stop being excited.
But he finally knew that the place was wrong, suppressed his cheers, touched the roots along the vine leaves, and began to plan.
Half an hour later, several dark shadows converged and returned the way they came.
It wasn't until they returned to the place where they settled that a few people cheered: "Brother Liuzi, look, I just dug a few plants, and there are so many!" "I opened the cloth bag I was carrying, and it was full of sweet potatoes bigger than my fist.
"Me too, they still have a lot of food in their fields! That's nice! There was envy in his tone.
Under a vine, it can produce four or five stems of this size, and the village must have never been hungry.
Liuzi hummed and asked them to whisper: "Go get some water to wash and save some food." ”
"Well, good!"
The water was quickly found, and after it had been hastily washed, it was divided into small pieces with a firewood knife, and each person was divided into five pieces.
A few people who were already hungry couldn't wait to eat, and they couldn't help but exclaim: "Sweet!" ”
"Well, it's delicious!"
"When cooked, it should be sweeter and tastier!"
Several people couldn't stop smiling, this was the first time they were so happy since they became homeless!
Three days later, the six-man squad set out again.
"I still say that, you can't be too greedy, run away when you are found, don't ask for anything, you will be beaten to death if you are caught!" The six sons routinely advised.
"Yes, I know!" The remaining five nodded heavily.
The action went smoothly, and half an hour later, the six of them carried bulging cloth bags on their backs and walked back with a sigh.
When he was still a few hundred meters away from the landing place, he was stopped.
"What's on your back, open it and show us!"
A group of people taller than the six sons surrounded them.
Liuzi looked at the past, not to mention ten people, and it could be judged from the sour smell on their bodies that they were also homeless.
But the six sons of fifteen or sixteen years old were back to back, watching the people surrounding them warily.
"This is what we got it, we want it, go dig it ourselves!" Although the sixth son was nervous, he was not afraid.
He was an orphan by nature, and fighting and grabbing food was just a common thing.
If he hadn't taken care of a few little brothers and sisters, he would have run away a long time ago.
"Yours? If you steal, you steal, who doesn't know! Right! The people who surrounded them scoffed: "Boy, those who see it have a share, hand it over yourself!" Don't force us to do it! For the sake of all of you who are also refugees, I can leave you a few. ”
The only girl in "Brother Liuzi......" couldn't help but grab the corner of Liuzi's clothes.
"It's fine." Liuzi reassures her.
The girl was still scared, and shrank back tightly, eager to get stuck in the middle, but the middle was full of sweet potatoes, and there was no space at all.
Liuzi sighed in his heart, woman, it's really troublesome.
But you can't leave her behind.
When she was still in the village, she and her grandmother took good care of her, and she was entrusted by her grandmother on her deathbed that she could not leave her.
Never mind......
"These bags are for you, and we will keep one for ourselves!" The six sons asked the other five to give them the sweet potatoes.
The five of them reluctantly unburdened themselves and put them on the ground.
A group of people looked at those few burdens, like a wolf seeing a sheep, and their eyes couldn't help but emit green light.
Seeing that there were still people staring at the bag on their bodies without giving up, Liuzi glared at him fiercely: "Those are enough for you to eat for a few days!" ”
Those people were obviously not satisfied: "Where to eat for a few days, dragging the family with a mouth, it is good to be able to deal with a meal." ”
Liuzi doesn't believe this, this is simply a bunch of ruffians!
But he couldn't go back like this, and Liuzi said coldly: "Even if this bag is given to you, you can only eat one meal and you don't want more?" ”
The eyes of the group of people were even more greedy: "I forgot to ask, where did you steal it?" ”
"Keep this bag for me, and I'll take you tomorrow. Otherwise, you'll have to find it yourself! ”
The person who took the lead thought for a moment: "Yes! ”
It's just that after taking the sweet potato, a group of people had no intention of leaving.
Liuzi was clear: "We can't run, and we don't have a place to run." ”
The leader smiled, didn't believe his words, and after muttering to a few people, he and the other two stayed, and the others left with sweet potatoes.
The six sons couldn't, so they could only take people back to the ground.
On the evening of the second day, the sixth son took the group of people to the field.
"This is it." On the hillside, the six sons pointed out to them the field below.
"Guarded?" The leader looked at the six sons, this kid can't be doing anything bad, right?
Liuzi looked at him and said coldly: "Which village is unguarded?" ”
The leader was stunned, but he really didn't.
As long as there are crops in the field, there will be people guarding them.
The homeless people are locusts, and everyone is afraid.
Although he himself is now an outcast.
Liuzi said in a low voice: "You will find that kind of ...... when you go down later." When you're done, cover the leaf so you can dig it up a few more times......"
The leader was not at ease, so he followed the six sons to prevent him from escaping, and even more to prevent him from making trouble.
Liuzi secretly sneered, are he stupid, let them be discovered, the security in this field will definitely be stricter, and then he will have to find a place to get food again.
Now who doesn't value the crops in the fields and the money at home more than life.
Liuzi was very cautious, digging at different points, digging and burying the stems and vines back.
It was still half an hour, and a group of people returned with a full load.
——————
"Oh no, no, no! The sweet potatoes, peanuts and carrots in my field have been stolen! ”
Steal?
The people of a village hurriedly scattered to check the situation in their fields, and for a while, scolding was everywhere.
