Chapter 823: The Suburbs of Moscow
"Of course, sir, I have lived on the outskirts of Moscow since I was a child, and I have even been to Moscow several times, I am definitely a qualified guide, sir, wherever you want to go in Moscow, I can take you there, you only need to pay me a small amount of food as a payment!" The little kid saw that Chu Ming really didn't have any interest in his wolf skin, so he began to sell himself to Chu Ming, no matter what, the child didn't want to starve himself, as long as Chu Ming was willing to hire him, not to mention that he always wanted one meal a day, and now in the suburbs of Moscow, there are many people who have been starved to death.
"Very well, your name?" Chu Ming asked at the little boy, the little boy is not very old, but he is surprisingly mature, "My name is Messiev, you can also call me by my nickname, my name is Little Butter" Messiev said to Chu Ming, "Oh, Little Butter, this is really an interesting name, my name is Chu, you can call me Mr. Chu, from now on, I will hire you as my travel guide, as for the remuneration, I have no food on me, I will give you one pill of this every day, do you think it is acceptable?" After Chu Ming finished speaking, he took out a grain of gold particles the size of a grain of rice from his sleeve and said to Little Butter, Little Butter heard Chu Ming say that there was no food on his body, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, after seeing what Chu Ming handed over, Little Butter reluctantly cheered up, took the gold particles handed over by Chu Ming and looked at it carefully, and after looking at it for a while, Little Butter suddenly thought of what this thing was.
"Of course, sir, as long as you really give me one of these things every day, even if you want to go to the general secretary's office, I will find a way to let you in and have a look" Little Butter said to Chu Ming, "Hahahaha, what a little clever ghost, but I'm not interested in your general secretary, it's not time for us to meet, you can take me around, by the way, do you have a gathering place now?" Take me to see it," Chu Ming said to the little butter.
"Okay, sir, come with me, we used to be villagers on the outskirts of Moscow, and then the Germans came, and we hid in the suburbs of Moscow to be sheltered by Moscow, but unfortunately, the German shelling did not distinguish between us and the soldiers, after the shelling, we refugees suffered heavy casualties, and the Moscow side didn't care much about our life or death, because we were too many people, and we would eat too much food, when we started to gather, there were 30,000 people, and now there are less than 10,000 left, The rest of the people either died, or they took advantage of the strength they still had in their bodies and evacuated to the rear," Little Butter said to Chu Ming, and then walked towards a forest far away from Moscow, Chu Ming had already seen the curling smoke rising from the woods, presumably there must have been a lot of Soviet refugees gathered there.
"Little butter, I ask you, aren't you afraid that I am a spy for the Germans?" Chu Ming suddenly lowered his hat and asked at Little Butter, "Don't be afraid, I'm really not afraid" Little Butter replied to Chu Ming without thinking about it, "Oh? Why? Chu Ming was quite puzzled, it is said that the war has come to this point, and the Germans and Soviets should be in a state of endless death, but Little Butter's attitude is obviously problematic.
"We can't live anymore, instead of starving to death, we don't mind doing something that can keep us alive, even if it's for the Germans, there are many men there who secretly go to build fortifications for the Germans during the day, and then exchange for food, the Germans give food very generously, and many people go every day, I want to go too, but unfortunately, my age is too young, my strength is also small, the Germans don't want me, and there are many girls, they will dress up together at night and go to the German barracks, They didn't come back until the next morning, and when they came back, they would bring back lots and lots of food, just like a hero's triumph! Little Butter said something to Chu Ming that made Chu Ming stunned.
What is the same hatred of the enemy, what kind of war for the whole people, it is all, these days, it is true to be able to live, in order to survive, the Soviet people here don't care whether they are working for the Soviet regime, or working for the Germans, the feeling of being hungry and corroding their stomach wall is really unbearable, "So that's the case" Chu Ming was speechless for a while.
"Sir, you're from the East, aren't you?" Little Butter turned to Chu Ming and asked, "Yes, I'm a Chinese from the East, how do you see it?" Have you ever seen an Oriental? Chu Ming asked at the little butter, the current society is not as popular as the real world, television, and even radios are not popular, in this case, there are many people in the world who are in a state of ignorance, Easterners don't know what Western Maozi looks like, and Westerners don't necessarily know what Easterners look like, that's it.
"Chinese? I don't know about this, I just see that you don't look like us, sir, so I guess that you are an Oriental" Little Butter said to Chu Ming, "That's it" Chu Ming didn't answer Little Butter again, but quietly followed behind Little Butter, Chu Ming always felt that he would get something unexpected from this trip to the Soviet Union, this is an intuition, a strong intuition.
Slowly, Chu Ming followed behind Little Butter and entered the woods, the woods are natural barriers, where you can effectively avoid bullet shooting and artillery bombardment, a Soviet citizen named who was picking up branches appeared in Chu Ming's field of vision, these people just looked up at Chu Ming, probably because of Chu Ming's appearance, the Soviets all pointed at Chu Ming, but they were not overly surprised, occasionally a few hunters carrying prey came from a distance, which immediately caused a group of refugees to cheer, Then the refugees swarmed up and surrounded the hunters, stretching out their hands to fight for the prey on the hunter's body, and in a short time the hunters would scuffle with the refugees, and no one knew where the prey would be.
Finally, under the leadership of Little Butter, Chu Ming came to the central area of this gathering place, where there are some small houses made of wood, most of them are tents, most of these tents are single-storey, and some of them have several openings on their bodies, fortunately it is not very cold now, otherwise, I am afraid that refugees who have frozen to death have begun to appear here, and hunger has condensed into a dark cloud to completely wrap this place, and many women and children are all wrapped in dirty quilts with yellow and thin faces, hidden in tents, Some men went to build fortifications for the Germans, others went to build fortifications for the Soviet regime, and some men chose to go out in search of prey, anyway, bringing food back is the common goal of all men here.
At this moment, in the middle of the road ahead, more than a dozen girls who looked okay and dressed up a little were talking and laughing, their faces were ruddy, and they looked much better than the average refugee complexion, these girls may not be particularly beautiful, but age is their ultimate weapon, the oldest of them may not be twenty years old, and the youngest looks about fifteen years old, "These girls are the girls I told you, they go to the camp at night, during the day, They will also do business, if you are interested in the tiger, I can help you ask, with my little butter face, you can give a 10% discount, sir, do you want to play? How many do you want to play? "Little Butter is young, when he talks about such a thing, he actually has a head in the head, which really makes Chu Ming feel incredible, it seems that hunger not only takes away these refugees' loyalty to the country, but also takes away their shame.
"No need, hey, wait, you wait for me here, I'll take a look, I'll be back in a while" Chu Ming suddenly smelled a somewhat familiar smell, and after saying to the little butter, he walked in one direction, the little butter was very obedient, standing motionless on the ground, watching Chu Ming slowly disappear in front, after a low and dilapidated tent that had been sewn and mended I don't know how many times, an old woman who looked to be at least seventy years old was chewing some weeds, and then spit out the green bitter juice, Smeared on a delicate body full of wounds in front of him, every time he smeared it, the delicate body would tremble a few times, but no one knew whether this wild vegetable juice would work or not, it could only be a dead horse.
Chu Ming opened the door of the tent and walked in, and the old woman took out a worn-out revolver from under her trouser belt and aimed it at Chu Ming, "Get out, you're not welcome here!" The old woman said fiercely to Chu Ming, the taste of being targeted by a gun is really uncomfortable, although with Chu Ming's current physical fitness, it is impossible for a bullet to cause harm to Chu Ming, but when a gun is aimed at him, Chu Ming will still tremble a little unconsciously.
Chu Ming ignored the murderous eyes of the old woman, risked being shot to death by the old woman, took out three gold coins from his pocket and put them in front of the old woman's eyes, the old woman's eyes immediately straightened, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, in troubled times, the value of gold will be infinitely magnified, the temptation of these three gold coins is here, this represents endless bread, endless coffee, "You, you, what do you want!" After the old woman saw the three gold coins, she suddenly wandered out of the world, but she still remembered her ultimate goal, which was to get the three gold coins in Chu Ming's hand.
"Go out, this is mine, including this patient" Chu Ming said to the old woman, the old woman listened to Chu Ming's words, turned around and glanced at Qianying who had fainted in front of her, then sighed, took Chu Ming's gold coin and left
