After lunch, Ding Xiu and Li Xiong were about to set off, and the two of them were ready, settled their families and millet, and went to the assembly place requested by the mayor.

Some people had already arrived in the square on the east side of the town, and Ding Xiu and Li Xiong rushed there to see that seven or eight people were already ready to go, gathered together and waiting for the others to arrive.

Li Xiong has some prestige among these people, and when someone saw Li Xiong, they greeted him.

Not long after, the mayor and Officer Jiang also came with several policemen. The mayor of Maping Town is called Bai Shouxian, and Secretary Jiang is his brother-in-law, named Jiang Dian.

Bai Shouxian got out of the car with a big belly, and gasped for breath after taking a few steps. He rested on his thighs and beckoned Jiang Dian to speak for him.

Jiang Dian took the roster registered during the day and glanced at the people present. His brows furrowed, and he looked a little displeased: "Why is there still a shortage of people?" ”

"Zhang Kuifa beat his daughter-in-law in the afternoon, and his daughter-in-law went to her mother's house, saying that she would come over after picking up her daughter-in-law."

"Qi Jianzhu injured his foot while chopping firewood at noon, and he couldn't come."

"Xing Junqiang and his father ......"

The person who had already arrived fed back to Jiang Dian what he knew, Jiang Dian listened to it, and waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, these cowards, I thought about money when I signed up, and I didn't have the courage afterwards, but fortunately, Lao Tzu's capitation fee was not given in advance." That Qi Jianzhu, his mother's chopping wood hurt his foot, did he split it with his calf? ”

Jiang Dian complained a few words and looked back at his brother-in-law. Bai Shouxian relieved himself, straightened his waist and said: "Flying foxes have become a pest in our Maping Town, and now my people have found those things hiding in the Mingyue Gorge in the east, and you will set out to get rid of them." The head fee for departure will be given on board, and in addition, the carcass of a flying fox can be exchanged for a reward of 100 bries from me. ”

"Mayor Bai, are your policemen with us?" Someone in the crowd asked.

"If the police also go, who will take care of the security in the town?" Jiang Dian glared at the man.

After Bai Shouxian finished speaking, he got back into the car and sat down, leaving Jiang Dian outside to preside over the task of the operation.

"There were 21 people who signed up, and there were 16 people." Jiang Dian counted the number of people, and then arranged: "You guys are divided into two teams, and choose two captains to lead the team." ”

"Li Xiong." He called the first name.

"I'm here." Li Xiong stepped forward.

"You're the captain of the first team." Jiang Dian said.

"Ding Xiu." He called out another name.

"Yes." Ding Xiu also stood up.

"You're the captain of the second team."

"Officer Jiang, who is this kid, we recognize Brother Xiong as the captain, why is he?" Some people who had never seen Ding Xiulu in Shitai during the day coaxed: "Brother Xiong has been a soldier, he has experience and courage, we don't know who Ding Xiu is." ”

"It's not local, I've never seen it."

"Where did he come from?"

The crowd was boiling for a while, Jiang Dian stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet, "If you are not convinced, you will go to him for a discussion." Now that the captain has been appointed, I have to report the list of personnel for each team, and give everyone five minutes to prepare and set off as soon as possible. ”

Jiang Dian finished reporting the list, sent the head fee down, and returned to Bai Shouxian's car, waiting for the two teams to set off.

A few guys who were dissatisfied with Ding Xiu's appointment as the captain of the second team came to Ding Xiu together, and their demeanor and posture were a little provocative.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Ding Xiu glanced at them and asked.

"It's nothing, I just want to see what you're capable of as a captain." One of them said while looking at Ding Xiu, clasping his hands together and rubbing and rubbing, making the bone joints "click".

"If you want to be this captain, it doesn't hurt to be for you." Ding Xiu spread his hands and didn't care. He had no interest in the captain's name at all, and according to his own personality, he preferred to act alone.

"Xue Bin, you haven't seen Ding Xiu's skills, but I have seen them." At this time, Li Xiong came forward and said: "During the day, in Shitai, Brother Ding Xiu first hit the sparrow flying in the sky with a shot, and then smashed the three stones thrown by Director Jiang in the air one by one. I don't think I'm sorry for myself. ”

"It's him." Finally, someone remembered the scene they had seen on the stone platform during the day.

Knowing Ding Xiu's awesomeness, no one continued to make noise, the position of captain is just a name in the end, and he can't take an extra penny, not to mention that Ding Xiu is a really capable person.

Everyone checked their equipment, got into their cars, and started heading east. Behind them, Jiang Dian and Bai Shouxian sat in the car and watched them leave, and when the car was gone, Jiang Dian turned his head to Bai Shouxian and said, "Brother-in-law, I hope to kill two birds with one stone on this trip." ”

"The news that there are high-level mutant creatures in Mingyue Gorge is reliable, right?" Bai Shouxian squinted his eyes, and the flesh on his face trembled slightly when he spoke.

"Reliable, a hunting team from Yunlong Town is almost folded there, our people went over and wiped out the two people who escaped, this news can't be spread in a short time, as long as we strike first......" Jiang Dian said with a fierce look in his eyes, paused and continued: "The rest is only to depend on luck." ”

"yes." Bai Shouxian sighed, "After all, not every high-level mutant creature has a bioenergy crystal nucleus. ”

"That's why I didn't let our own people go." Jiang Dian was a little proud of his arrangement: "Didn't the guys in the town, led by Li Xiong, who had been soldiers, go to the door of the government a while ago to make a fuss, saying that our taxes are heavy." This kind of prickly head has some ability, but it is not obedient, so it is not easy to control. This time, let's give some money and let them go to Mingyue Gorge, and in the end, no matter whether the thing succeeds or fails, we won't suffer. ”

"Disobedient guys, it's better to die." Bai Shouxian nodded, "I still hope to see the crystal nucleus more than if they go to death." ”

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I have also prepared a follow-up move." Jiang Dian leaned into Bai Shouxian's ear as he spoke, and whispered: "Originally, I planned to arrange Li Xiong and one of his closest guys to be the captains of the two teams, so that if the matter is done, I can take the opportunity to divide them when I am discussing merit." Now Li Xiong has brought a foreigner named Ding Xiu over, and Ding Xiu is still very capable, I think it is better to use him to replace the guy who is close to Li Xiong as the captain. ”

"How?" Bai Shouxian's mind didn't turn.

"Ding Xiu is not a local, he has nothing to do with us, and he is better to buy than Li Xiong's gang. Even if he can't buy it, he won't have any trouble quietly doing it here. ”
