This poor salt village is not too far from Lanyang City, and it only takes two hours to ride a horse without hurry, and you can see the most eye-catching symbol of Lanyang City from afar-

A tall steel gate!

Light Feather sneered, it was really hard not to taunt this behemoth. Lan Yang was originally a place to eat by the sea, drying salt and developing sea resources is his own task, but now just because of the accidental discovery of iron ore in the nearby sea, it has become a steel endorsement, and has built such a city gate extravagantly. It's like a fisherman who picks up an ore and says he is an industrial tycoon, and he also sets up a memorial arch to show off and announce it to the world.

In this post-apocalyptic era when resources are scarce, is there anything more ridiculous and disgusting?

The answer, of course, is yes.

After passing the city gate, you can see a sailing ship moored between the sea and the sky like a mountain, the main sail is about ten stories high, and it is said that it takes more than 50 people to push the huge wheel under the mast to raise it.

"Wow, my mom, what a big ship! It's amazing! ”

"Of course, this is the government's expense to transport the iron ore in Lanyang. I heard that the amount of iron ore here is enough for the current human race for 200 years! ”

Lanyang is near the sea and is a border city under the jurisdiction of Lanwan. Today, the harbor is still overcrowded, and people come here to catch a glimpse of the majestic majesty of the official ships. And this excitement is just the brilliance of a corner of Lan Yang. If this is an exhilarating sight, then another port not far from here is a heart-rending hell:

"Kid! My baby! Please, please spare my child! ”

"Please! Please, do it! We will give us as much as we want, even if it costs our lives! As long as we can spare our children! ”

……

There are not many people in this harbor, and the boats moored here are not spectacular. There are only parents and family members kneeling on the ground crying and pleading, and only children who are about to part with their families.

These children are all born with defects. or blindness, or deafness, or deformity and congenital disability.

These are brutal times. After the end of the world, all the once highly developed civilizations were destroyed. With the extreme scarcity of resources and the serious lack of knowledge and technology, mankind has been unable to restore its former prosperity, and the regression of civilization has become inevitable! Even the land and water that can survive are pitiful.

Due to unknown radiation, defective people abound, and finally twenty years ago, the government decided to implement a "merit-based plan", in order to ensure excellent human genes, all defective people were sent to the "grave" to fend for themselves!

The lightly feathered horse stood not far away, and as the only spectator, she looked very seriously at the sound of the neighing separation of flesh and blood, as if she were looking at some long-lost past.

"Girl, don't look at it, let's go." A passing uncle persuaded her that she couldn't bear to look directly at the cruel picture, "No way, this is the government's decision, who can change it." ”

"Who says it can't."

The woman said coldly, led the horses and left, and looked no more at the port where the human tragedy was staged. She walks down the street, carrying a small bag, and her unique temperament is a bit eye-catching, especially the horses behind her. Although he has lost some weight, it is still a luxury in these barren times.

On the crowded streets, the thin horse attracted a lot of attention, but the light feather suddenly changed color, and the horse was very anxious to lose it:

"You wait!"

She chased after her all the way, only to catch a glimpse of the back of the red-haired man in the sea of people. But that person is like an ethereal duckweed, no matter how he chases, he can't reach the distance, and then he disappears in the blink of an eye.

Qing Yu was stunned, a little at a loss, wondering if everything was an illusion, and suddenly his expression tightened:

Someone tailgating her?

The woman's reaction was extremely fast, and her helpless face was no longer slack, and her sharp eyebrows and eyes were as resolute and sharp as a hunter. She quietly followed the chase, pretending to be still looking for someone, but her eyes quickly familiarized herself with her surroundings and locked on the most suitable direction for counterattack-

A corner at the end of the street!

In the sea of people, the woman was as agile as the wind, and her dirty braids tied with ribbons flew like flags, and even such a dense flow of people did not affect her agility in the slightest. Like a strong eagle and a light cat, she pulled out her pistol at the moment of turning the corner, opened the safe, and skillfully moved in one go, almost at divine speed:

Kacha!

Turning to position, the hem of the trench coat was hanging down, and the muzzle of the gun was already aimed at the stalker's head.

"Don't, don't, don't! It's me! It's me! Don't shoot! The person who came was half frightened to death, and squatted down with his head in his hands as if he had been electrocuted. This is a very thin woman, although her dressing taste is not bad, but because she has never washed it, she exudes a strange smell all year round, coupled with a casual and excessive hairstyle......

To be honest, Karuha really wished he didn't know her.

"Are you crazy? I want to die so much! Light Feather reprimanded angrily, and quickly withdrew the gun like an electric shock. She was really startled, and almost pulled the trigger and sent He Fu, the sloppy king, back to the west.

"No, how could it be!" He Fu waved his hand, looking like he almost died without a big deal, "I was going to pick you up, but who knew that you would suddenly run away, otherwise who would dare to follow you!" ”

“……”

"Don't be like this, let's sisters, that little thing about Village Official Zhang, are you really angry with me?"

“……”

"Qingyu, it's not that I'm not kind, the village official Zhang also paid the deposit according to the rules! Besides, aren't you in long-term financial difficulties, although his price is not as high as your standard, but I pushed everyone else to this business and left it to you! ”

He Fu flattered and explained a lot, and Qing Yu finally gave a roll of his eyes patiently: "It's not about money, you know my rules, and that money is generally not enough." ”

"Yes, yes, I wronged you this time, I cheated you and deceived you, but there is no way to do it! This year's drought has caused a poor harvest on Maiyun's side, and people here can't eat enough, so where is the strength to make salt? The salt can't be harvested, and the perverted city lord of Lan Yang said that he must be held accountable and investigated, and let those who haven't paid enough come to see him, otherwise it will be the responsibility of a village. ”

"Which is more important, a family or a village?" He Fu was also very depressed, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket as he spoke. In such an era, tobacco is a very high-level luxury, and it is also one of the pleasures of He Fu as a matchmaker.

She lit a cigarette and spit out a circle leisurely: "Qingyu, what the world is now, no one should know better than you." Many things cannot be done by principles and standpoints. You should understand that naivety can't survive. ”

He Fu smoked a cigarette, the smoke ring was elegant and long, swaying in front of Qing Yu, but the vicissitudes of life quickly consumed Qing Yu's patience, and finally raised his hand is a shot:

Bang!

The hot wind swept through, the gunfire almost burst the eardrums, and the smell of gunpowder smoke made He Fu stiff all over. At this moment, the cigarette holder is still in his mouth, but there is only the cigarette holder left. Look at the feet again, the shredded tobacco that was beaten to ashes slowly fell to the ground:

"Whew-" Qing Yu blew on the muzzle of the gun with a shallow breath, and looked at He Fu obliquely as if he was smiling, "Look at you scared." You still can't trust me within range? But you're really getting more and more verbose, like Auntie. ”

"By the way, you take these, and I asked Village Officer Zhang to add interest." Whispering and stuffing the bag on his shoulder, he didn't look like a good-tempered person at all.

"You're the aunt! Dead girl, your stinky temper will get into trouble sooner or later! He Fu glared and roared, spat out the charred cigarette butt, and then weighed the bag in his arms, and his anger disappeared immediately.

"Yo, isn't it light?" He Fu was overjoyed, and when he opened it, he was even more surprised when he saw the frame, and hurriedly picked up a piece and bit it down hard, "Good girl, this is really pure gold?" That poor ghost still has such a good thing? ”

"These are all for you, the matter of collecting salt, how many people have been killed by the lord of Lanyang City, and it can be regarded as a virtue for the surname Zhang." Qingyu is very generous, except for the commission, he didn't take a penny.

He Fu looked playful, the fright just now had been quickly turned over, and now he picked up the lucky bag on the light feather saber and pinched it, jokingly:

"Why, hanging this thing every day, did you really pick up money and make a windfall on the side of the road?"

"Tsk, do you want to take care of it? Take away the dirty hands......" Qing Yu also joked, but without saying a word, her face darkened violently—yes, she saw that on her precious lucky bag, it was indeed true, clear and clear, leaving the handprint of the sloppy king of He Fu;

A big, thick, black handprint like a coal rolling through it!

……

……

At this moment, there seemed to be a cold wind, and the atmosphere that had just warmed up fell to the bottom in an instant, and with it swelled with Light Feather's anger and killing intent.

"Hey, hey......" He Fu shuddered, stiffly squeezed out a flattering smile, "You, you must be hungry, right?" I invite you to dinner, and by the way, there is a big business, to ensure that you are satisfied! ”
