When Lao Zhuang walked away, the old man who greeted him sighed, "Lao Zhuang is really not easy, and there is no rest during the New Year." ”

"Who let the child and her mother go early, Lao Zhuang took Xiao Yue'er alone, and became a father and a mother, and there is no old man in the family who can help, isn't it hard?"

"Hey, the child is not in good health...... Do you know that every morning when I walk in the yard, I can smell the medicine coming from their house......

Think about it, how much money will you have to spend on medicine at the end of the year?

Where do you have the heart to rest? I'm afraid I can't wait to grow a few more arms......"

When a few people sighed, Shi Xiaoxin and the old beggar sat at the mouth of the alley casually, while Shi Yanzheng and the others hid not far from the alley.

Looking at the lively alley, Shi Xiaoxin asked, "Are you sure the traffickers are here?" ”

The old beggar nodded, "One night it was raining, and I was sheltering from the rain at the pyre in front of the butcher's house, and I happened to see three people from the house diagonally across the door quietly going out.

The one in the lead also scolded the other two and said, "Don't forget that we are human traffickers......"

Under the messy hair, Shi Xiaoxin frowned, they have also come to squat in this place, and they probably know who lives here.

The old beggar said that there were only three brothers in the family, and they helped people carry bags to get by.

What puzzled Shi Xiaoxin was why they chose this place?

Although it seems to be a good place to hide, how do traffickers live in such a place and transport children under the noses of their neighbors?

These traffickers chose such a place to hide, either they were bold artists, or they were kicked in the brain by a donkey......

But now it's better to have clues than nothing, so let's find a chance to go to that house first.

There are a lot of people in the alley at this time, so we have to wait.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the shouts of "...... to eat" gradually came from the alley.

It was getting dark, and the people in the alleys went back to their homes to eat.

Shi Xiaoxin gestured to Shi Yanzheng and the others to wait on the spot, and got up casually and walked into the alley......

The old beggar stayed where he was.

When Shi Xiaoxin walked in front of the three brothers' houses, he specially slowed down his pace, and vaguely heard someone in the courtyard shouting "eat".

Before Shi Xiaoxin could listen to anything more, he suddenly sensed a sense of crisis, and when he caught a glimpse of the narrow alley next to him, Shi Xiaoxin dodged into the alley......

The moment she slipped into the alley, the door of the butcher's house across the door opened.

The butcher went out the door and fetched a bundle of firewood and went back.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Shi Xiaoxin breathed a sigh of relief, but ......

Shi Xiaoxin glanced at the miscellaneous items piled up in the narrow alley, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Shi Xiaoxin, who was lying on the wall, only heard the voices of the three brothers in the courtyard......

"Big brother, this is the New Year, why don't we eat something good? Why do you drink porridge again......"

"Yes, big brother, after drinking this porridge, the urine will be gone as soon as you soak it, don't be hungry!"

"You still have the face to say, who made you spend the money you earned on weekdays and then turn your head and spend it?

He ate meat and drank wine, and before the money was hot, it went into someone else's pocket.

If you can save some money every month, can we need it now? ”

The two brothers were scolded and lowered their heads, and the second brother was honest and didn't dare to say a word.

The third child muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you keep it yourself......"

The boss didn't hear clearly and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing, nothing." The third child hurriedly shook his head, "Big brother, why don't we deal with the little things in the grocery room and satisfy our hunger?" ”

The second child's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he also raised his head, "Yes, yes, big brother, you can just use it with porridge!" ”

The boss was a little moved, and thought for a while, "Okay, you guys come together to help, don't make a noise, and let people hear it again." ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked to the kitchen, and the second and third looked at each other and happily followed.

The three of them didn't notice that Shi Xiaoxin had climbed into the courtyard from the wall, but instead went to get their tools, their faces were full of joy, and they walked to the grocery room......

……

In the mountain pass, Jiang Yao and Jiang Yu were completely ignorant of all this.

Here, in addition to resting during the New Year, it is to worship ancestors.

But the two sisters had neither rest nor ancestral worship.

No, it was only the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Jiang Yao took Jiang Yu to the mountains to ponder the bomb......

Afraid that the movement would be too big, the two deliberately went to the deep mountains dozens of kilometers away from the mountain col.

There are quite a few recipes for bomb crafting in the Knowledge Shop, but most of them are more advanced.

Advanced bombs, although powerful, but many materials they can't get.

However, the effect of ordinary black powder was too poor, and they were not satisfied.

So you can only slowly try out the different recipes found in the Knowledge Shop......

Afraid of fire, the two specially found a place with many rocks and little vegetation and started experiments......

No one bothers in the mountains, only the sounds of nature.

The two of them were concentrating on the experiment, making some noises from time to time, and no wild animals dared to approach.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

The tired two of them lay on the flat stones, looking at the gradually shining stars in a daze, chatting, and there was still a little comfort......

"Sister, do you think Lao Zhang is willing to make a bomb for us?

And what if he leaves later and leaks the recipe? ”

"That's what assembly line work is all about."

As for leaving the col, Jiang Yao was not worried, so he didn't want to leave, wouldn't he have it?

In fact, it's not that people in the col can't go out now, it's just that it's not very convenient.

But if you want to go out and walk from Dahua Mountain, there is no danger at all, but you can't enter the city without a household registration.

But the crowd didn't have the heart to run out.

Having experienced natural and man-made disasters, for them, it is more just the pursuit of stability.

Of course, it's not available.

After tomorrow, everyone will be busy clearing the wasteland again.

As for those teenagers who have a promising future, all Jiang Yao can do is to create opportunities for them as much as possible.

"However, if this explosive is done, won't the dust bombs we have saved before be useless......" Jiang Yu said very worried, she had saved so much and wasted so much effort.

Jiang Yao pondered for a moment and said, "The fourth aunt will be very happy." ”

In addition to the rice powder used in the dust bomb at the beginning, flour was used later.

Now those dust bombs are useless, how much flour can be poured out of so many dust bombs?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu suddenly thought: "There are so many empty mineral water bottles, when we return to modern times, we can make a profit by selling them to scrap collectors......

Jiang Yao: "......"

……

Shi Xiaoxin leaned against the wall and quietly approached the three brothers.

I saw the three brothers open the door of the grocery room and walked in.

The old man in front shouted: "The third child closes the door." ”

"Gotcha." The third child turned around, holding the door with both hands, and poked his head out very cautiously to look around......

Who knew that as soon as he turned his head, he met Shi Xiaoxin's cold gaze......
