Volume 3: The Struggle of the Last Days Chapter 140 Boring Life
"Eat it while it's hot." Bai Yunlian handed the bowl with the top like a small hill and a pair of stainless steel chopsticks to Xiao Xiuping, the capacity of this bowl is only two-thirds of the kind used by men, in fact, this is also the godfather's rule, because except for the third battalion, the women of the other two battalions do not need to go out to search for food, so the food given to them is naturally smaller than that of the men, but if the bowl is the same size, but the men are full and the women are dissatisfied, these people will inevitably have an imbalance, so, Simply make the bowl smaller and stuff it all up, so that the intuitive feeling is not so strong.
However, the man who shared the meal still "broke" the rules and gave Bai Yunlian a little more, this because of her special identity - a doctor, and secondly, for the sake of her with a child.
"I don't eat, you eat first." Xiao Xiuping began to be angry with Bai Yunlian again.
Bai Yunlian pushed the bowl back: "I've eaten it." β
When Xiao Xiuping heard this, he was not happy, and pinched Bai Yunlian's nose with one hand: "You lied to people." Dad said that if you lie, your nose will get longer and longer. β
This little guy really doesn't know the severity, he pinched it tightly, and didn't leave a trace of ventilation for Bai Yunlian at all, which made Bai Yunlian's chest and lower body itch. And this itch is not an ordinary itch, it is the feeling of itchiness, Bai Yunlian wanted to take Xiao Xiuping's hand away, but her body didn't listen to the call, and she also found that there seemed to be a different kind of factor hidden in the depths of her brain......
"You're back?" Zhao An's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them. He still had an amiable smile on his face.
"Hmm." Bai Yunlian finally shook off Xiao Xiuping's hand and turned her face away.
"It's not enough to eat. Here, eat more. Zhao An said, and actually took out a piece of meat from his bowl and put it into the bowl that Xiao Xiuping was holding. And what he said was obvious, he said it to Xiao Xiuping.
"Uh...... No need. Bai Yunlian hurriedly waved her hand, but before she could stop her, Zhao An had already cooked the raw rice into cooked rice, which made Bai Yunlian very embarrassed, and it was not for him to clip it back, nor for Xiao Xiuping to eat. Her attitude also seemed to affect Xiao Xiuping, and this little guy also looked at Zhao An with guarded eyes. Because, in his memory, this Zhao An is not a good person.
"Eat, there is no more. That's all I have to eat, and too much is wasted. Zhao An said, raised the bowl in his hand, Bai Yunlian glanced at it with his spare eyes, there were three pieces of meat in his bowl, plus the one that was sandwiched to Xiao Xiuping, a total of four pieces, perhaps, this is a little "favor" from the godfather to an indispensable person like him.
"Thank you." Bai Yunlian thanked her repeatedly, and glanced at Xiao Xiuping, "Eat." Wait a minute, and people will have to put away the bowls. β
Xiao Xiuping lowered his head and began to eat, he didn't know if he didn't look at it, it turned out that Xiao Xiuping was a guy who had a really big amount of food, especially when he was "getting carried away" eating, he seemed to really think that this bowl of rice was his alone, if it weren't for Zhao An "knocking" his little eggshell: "Your sister hasn't eaten it yet." He estimated that he would be able to eat the bowl of rice.
At first, Xiao Xiuping said that he didn't want to part with Bai Yunlian, but when a fierce strong man came over, he was immediately too frightened to make a sound, and then he was taken away by this person like a "chicken". Although Bai Yunlian said that her heart was like a knife, she had no choice but to close her mouth under Zhao An's various instructions and hints, after all, she was now under the eaves of people, and she had to bow her head.
Over there, there were also many people sobbing in low voices, it was the family of the men who had just died, and now, they were not qualified to go to Camp No. 1 again, and they could only be "accompanied" by a few strong men into the eerie warehouse.
"This place is getting more and more difficult to stay, in the past, it took three or two days for one person to die, but today in one day, nine people died." Zhao An seemed to be quite touched by this, "If it continues like this, it won't be long before the people of the second battalion can die cleanly." β
"You're saying they're going to transfer?" Bai Yunlian's face was full of surprise, if the godfather wanted to leave, then her plan was very likely to be broken before it was completed.
"Don't you see there's a bus?" Zhao An pointed to the particularly tall office building standing at the entrance of the industrial zone, "Leave here, go to the countryside, what to say, the chance of surviving is also greater than here, after all, this is a city, and it does not produce grain." β
At this point, Bai Yunlian also heard Wei Yilin say, the only difference is the way to solve the food problem, Jia Zhongquan still has some resources in his hands, he can farm, he can try to ask for assistance, but the godfather is different, the resources in his hands all lie in the ability of his subordinates.
"Those who are stronger may choose farming, and those who are weak may choose nomadism, as they have done for thousands of years. The only difference is that if you can't decide the game, no matter how far you swim, in the end, you will inevitably die. But if you find a place to settle the situation, you have to be on guard at all times and be robbed. β
This Zhao An, the more I listen to it, the more it is not simple, Bai Yunlian sometimes, I especially want to know, why. He was able to come up with so many things.
"Then what do you think, which one will this boss choose?"
"All I know is that no matter what, maybe a few years, maybe a few months, people like me will become dispensable." Zhao An sat down, his expression suddenly became decadent, "After all, the medicine is just like that, when I run out, even if I can diagnose the condition, there is no medicine." β
Bai Yunlian nodded thoughtfully, sure enough, the safest way is to return to the base in Mingsha Town, where there is no need to worry about eating, no need to worry, and the most critical point, there, there are still people she is looking forward to.
The afternoon of this day was relatively uneventful, those people in the second camp were basically looking at the sky and making hexagrams, I really don't know why, they were so resistant to talking to other people, the new boy was also assigned here, he was the same as Bai Yunlian, and he was obviously not used to this atmosphere, so it didn't take long for him to sneak to Zhao An and Bai Yunlian's side, because, in the entire factory, there were only the two of them, and they would say a few words from time to time.
But not long after he arrived, he hesitated, because he found that these two people were not chatting, but workingβcounting medicines. The godfather should have organized his cronies to move through the pharmacy at the beginning, so there are still a lot of medicines left in the camp, and some new ones have moved in today, so now, these two are sorting them.
The boy shrank back and sat there with his legs crossed, he didn't dare to disturb the people outside, and he didn't want to disturb the two people who were busy, so he could only sit with his legs curled.
"You're alone?" After drying the young man for nearly an hour, Zhao An raised his head and asked him.
"Hmm." When the young man saw that someone had finally spoken to him, he also had a smile on his face and said "um" briskly.
"Relax." Zhao An responded, and then stopped paying attention to him, after all, he really didn't have anything to say to this young man - what he knew, the young man definitely didn't understand, and he wasn't very interested in what the young man understood.
"Hey, come out, come out." Suddenly, someone hammered the iron gate of the second battalion hard, "Everyone, come out." β
Bai Yunlian didn't know if it was a weak heart or what, her face turned white, and she thought: Could it be that the plan was leaked? Go and go, how is it possible, I haven't made it yet, how can I leak it? After confirming that it would have nothing to do with her, she asked Zhao An in a low voice, "What happened?" β
Zhao An didn't raise his head and said, "Oh, it's okay, daily training." β
Bai Yunlian's face was finally not so white: "Training? β
Zhao An nodded: "The equipment he made, if he hasn't practiced, how can he use it?" β
Bai Yunlian breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out with everyone, sure enough, in the open space of the building room, there were three black big bags, each big bag, there were some short spears, and the beard was standing in front of the black belt in the middle, but his big beard was missing, and the rest of them were of different lengths and were extremely unsightly. And on the other side of the road, on the side of the entrance of the industrial zone, there were also more than a dozen burly strong men, their weapons, more sophisticated, all shields, machetes, standing in front of them, is a figure and beard, but looks more like the black face of the person, but now, he is not wearing a raincoat, and his head is bare.
Bai Yunlian carefully looked at more than a dozen strong men, but the strange thing was that none of these people had that rabbit lip, perhaps, he was recuperating from his injuries.
He didn't say anything, after dividing the equipment, he picked up a short spear, and took the one behind him, the trunk was very thick, but it had been pierced all over the body to open the "knife", he first demonstrated it at a normal speed, stabbed the tree to a shaky one, and then began to explain the essentials of the movement, and then let everyone start practicing. These men are all very serious in their training, and no one is lazy.
But what made Bai Yunlian strange was that the beard only taught three movements, and did not teach it any further, listening to Zhao An, the more he taught, the more he taught, if the people in the second battalion had bad intentions, the greater the harm to the camp, so the godfather's request was that these people could defend themselves. On the other hand, those people in the No. 1 Battalion practiced a lot more moves, and the bald man was very patient, guiding them one by one, and he had the posture of teaching what he had learned all his life.
In the next two or three days, the daily steps are not much different from today, there is a team of people who go out to look for food in the morning, send a few people to the No. 3 battalion at noon, practice defensive posture in the afternoon, and go to bed at night as soon as it gets dark, life is simple and boring, and the people in the No. 2 battalion can really survive, except for a few words when they get together with their families at noon and night, they don't say a word at other times, I really don't know if they are dumb.
But there are three people, who are an exception, that is, Zhao An, Bai Yunlian and the young man named Wang Shan, they will occasionally say a few words, and under Zhao An's careful protection, the wound on Xiao Xiuping's neck has slowly healed, and Bai Yunlian's vigilance against Zhao An has also been let go little by little.
