Chapter 57: A Bunch of Children

Under the leadership of the guards, Fan Hu and his entourage first went to the Quartermaster Department to get six pears, just one for each person, and during this period there was a little episode, the greedy Fan Hu wanted to let the people of the Quartermaster Department be more accommodating and give more, but they were almost not driven out by the people of the Quartermaster Department, and finally because the guard who led the way came forward to explain Bai Zhiyuan's order, the Quartermaster Department gave up, and finally after the guard's explanation Fan Hu They knew that the original settlement was not as rich as they thought before, Due to the limited land, fruits are also very precious in the settlement, all the fruits produced, in addition to half of the fruits put on the market to supplement vitamins for the people and also bring income to the army, the remaining half are all collected by the Quartermaster Department and then distributed equally, one fruit per person per week, all of them are no exception, that is, the dragon army general Bai Zhiyuan and even the city lord Long Hao are the same, the rest of the time, only when performing the task will get a special case, such as the mission they performed like a dragon, This is also a compensation and reward mechanism for soldiers in the military department

After leaving the quartermaster department, they got into a transport van into which Fan Hu and their belongings had been loaded, and then the transport truck drove straight towards the gate

On the street outside the military base, a group of children, each holding an old umbrella, crouched against a wall and crouched at the mouth of an alley

"Little Seventh Brother, I'm so hungry" A little girl who looked younger than Xie Zhixin looked at a little boy, her eyes full of hunger for food

Xiao Qi, formerly known as Cheng Guangdu, is fifteen years old this year, and is the head of this group of children, who looks younger than his actual age due to long-term malnutrition

"Xiaofeng, bear with me, soon my brother will have something for you to eat, Uncle Song has a person who is not feeling well and asked for leave, Uncle Song promised to let me work for a day tomorrow, and wait for my brother to receive his salary tomorrow morning to buy you steamed buns to eat" Looking at this group of friends, Xiao Qi smiled slightly, Rao is in this situation, Xiao Qi still maintains an optimistic attitude towards the future

"Little Seventh Brother! Really! ”

"Thank you, Little Seventh Brother"

"Little Seventh Brother is the best....."

When the little girl and those friends heard that there were steamed buns to eat, they were all excited, as if they thought of the hot and sweet steamed buns, and everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, their eyes were full of expectation, and they couldn't wait to eat them immediately

"Squeak...."

At this moment, the gate of the military base suddenly opened, and a transport truck suddenly drove out and stopped at the door, and after a group of people got out of the car, two guards threw a large pile of things from the car and threw them on the ground, and then neatly got into the car and turned around and drove into the military base

After living in the settlement for so long, due to their profession, these children have long developed a pair of vicious eyes, and Xiao Qiyi, who is not far away, immediately showed an excited expression when he saw that group of people

"Something has been done!"

Unlike Xiao Qi, those friends glanced at the group of people at the door, and their eyes were full of deep fear and fear

"Little Seventh Brother! They should be the new survivors, so don't go! ”

"That's right! Have you forgotten what happened to the child last month? Little Seventh Brother, don't go, you'll die."

"Little Seventh Brother! Don't go, I don't want anything to happen to you, I won't eat the steamed buns" The one called Xiaofeng grabbed Xiao Qi's clothes, his eyes were full of worry and fear

In the face of the kindness of his friends, Xiao Qi was very moved, but seeing their appearance, Xiao Qi was extremely sad, and in the end Xiao Qi chose to take risks

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, when I get the money and come back, I'll invite you to a big meal" Xiao Qi gave them a look to signal them to rest assured, and then took the little girl's hand away and stood up and ran directly towards the door of the military base

"Little Brother Qi......" Those little friends looked at Xiao Qi who left, and could only squat in the corner of the wall and pray for Xiao Qi's safety

Fan Hu, who was left at the door, picked up a good bullet from a rifle, looked at a large pile of things on the ground, and then looked at the transport truck that had left, and couldn't help but complain "Damn! These bastards, knowing that we have just arrived, don't know how much gas it will cost them to give us an extra ride! What a beep dog."

In this unfamiliar environment, it is safest to maintain combat effectiveness at all times, Song Lian loaded the rifle with bullets and then opened the safety and loaded it, "Brother Fan, you are content, you!" Big night, don't waste your saliva"

Xie Zhixin also hurriedly picked up the crossbow, picked up the quiver, and loaded the arrows, "That's it!" The second brother is right! Brother, I'm dying of cold, my hands are almost freezing, hurry up and find a place to take a shower and change clothes! Otherwise, tomorrow it will be a cold."

"Damn," Fan Hu turned his head in the end

"Damn, there are so many things, how can we take them!"

Just when Fan Hu was looking at the equipment and materials in that place, a little boy suddenly ran over, and after the little boy ran in front of Fan Hu and them, he immediately bowed to them with a respectful smile, "Hello adults, I am the foot force here, do you need service?" We can provide you with all kinds of humble help and service"

This little boy is none other than Xiao Qi

"Foot power?" Fan Hu glanced at Song Lian suspiciously, and saw that Song Lian also shrugged his shoulders blankly, and then Fan Hu turned his head to look at Xiao Qi, "What do you mean?" ”

"Oh! The adults are all new to the settlement! ”

As soon as they entered the new environment, people always had an instinctive vigilance, not to mention Fan Hu and them, as soon as they heard Xiao Qi's words, Fan Hu and they were all vigilant

Fan Hu narrowed his eyes, "So what?" ”

As a foot force, the most important thing is to know how to observe words and looks, as soon as he saw Fan Hu's eyes, Xiao Qi suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by a group of lions, a huge danger enveloped his body, Xiao Qi's face suddenly showed a trace of panic, and he hurriedly waved his hand to explain, "My lord, don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else, our foot power is to provide people with all kinds of information and services, such as moving things, wanting to buy things or sell things, we can all help you serve, the reason why the villain asked, I want to remind adults to be careful not to be slaughtered."

"Oh! It turned out that this was the case" Fan Hu suddenly realized, according to Xiao Qi's explanation, the foot force is like a mixture of a tour guide and coolie and various intermediaries

"That's it! It's okay! Fan Hu put away his weapon, and at Fan Hu's signal, Song Lian and Xie Zhixin also put away their weapons

Seeing that he had finally escaped, Xiao Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, "Whew...."

Xiao Qi glanced at the guns, backpacks, and food everywhere, and at the same time was shocked and envious of Fan Hu's strong strength, but Xiao Qi was very self-aware, he immediately extinguished that kind of empty illusion, and then looked at Fan Hu and Song Lian

"My lord! You see, it's eight o'clock now, the weather is cold, you have just arrived, and you don't know much about this place, if it drags on for a long time, it is easy to catch a cold, and you have so many things, it is not convenient" Xiao Qi saw at a glance that Fan Hu and their current difficulties

"My lord, I have lived here for so long, I know many people here, I can help you find a place to live, help you move your luggage, as long as you need, I can serve you with your food, clothing, housing and transportation, and absolutely guarantee good quality and low price, my lord, how do you see it" Xiao Qi looked at Fan Hu and Song Lian with a very humble face, and he saw that only these two people could really call the shots in the team

Fan Hu glanced at Xie Zhixin and Liu Ning'er, in the team, except for Fan Hu and Song Lian, none of the women had spare clothes, Liu Ning'er and Fan Hu didn't know, but Xie Zhixin's clothes had been lost when they were chased and killed in the mountains and forests, Mei Yun didn't say anything, Liu Ning'er and Qiao Ling'er were all so frozen that they didn't want to speak, and although Xie Zhixin seemed to be okay on the surface, from her frozen blue lips and constantly shaking hands Fan Hu could see that she was purely holding on

"Can you get us a change of clothes?"

As soon as he heard Fan Hu say this, Xiao Qi knew that there was a play, and quickly nodded: "Yes, adult!" ”

"Hmmm! How much do you charge? Although he was excited, Fan Hu still had to ask about the charges

"Your Excellency, you're done! If you think we have served well, as long as you can give us a meal of steamed buns," Xiao Qi rubbed his hands

"You guys? Money for a steamed bun? ”

As soon as he saw Fan Hu's blank expression, Xiao Qi immediately remembered, "Oh! My lord, let me explain it to you......"

In the Liushi settlement, in order to facilitate the transaction, Long Hao made coins to facilitate the life of the people, the coins in the Liushi settlement are called dragon coins, all dragon coins are coins, different denominations are made of different metals, the color is also different, the largest denomination is ten yuan, down is five yuan and one yuan, these three are all made of gold or other metal mixture, the color is golden yellow, followed by five corners and a corner, made of silver mixture, the color is silver white, and finally five points and one point, made of copper mixture, the color is dark yellow, in the settlementThe purchasing power of dragon coins is very strong, two cents per pound of rice, and a steamed bun only costs three cents, and as for meat, it is basically more than one pound and one piece

"Oh!" Knowing the approximate basic price, Fan Hu calculated, even if it was for ten people to pay for a day of steamed buns, it was not very expensive

"Yes! Hurry up and get someone to move your things! ”

"Okay!" Seeing Fan Hu's bold promise, Xiao Qi was immediately overjoyed, and immediately turned around and waved his hands and shouted loudly, "Hey! Come here! Something to do! ”

In the corner of the wall in the distance, those friends who were originally worried about Xiao Qi saw Xiao Qi constantly waving at them, although the distance was too far to hear Xiao Qi, but from Xiao Qi's happy appearance, they could also see that one of them was a successful transaction

"Little Seventh Brother has negotiated?"

"It should be!"

"So we have a job?"

"We had something to eat"

"Let's go! What a daze! What if you make those adults wait for a long time and get angry?"

"Let's go...."

Then these friends quickly got up and ran over

Soon those friends ran behind Xiao Qi and stopped, Fan Hu looked at them, including Xiao Qi, there were six of them, from the appearance, Xiao Qi was obviously the oldest, it can be said that this is all children

"You're all in this together?" Fan Hu couldn't help but frown and looked at Xiao Qi

Obviously, Xiao Qi's five friends were very afraid of Fan Hu and them, seeing Fan Hu frowning, he thought that Fan Hu was not satisfied, and he was all scared in his heart, and his body couldn't help shrinking to Xiao Qi's side, and his face was full of fear, and Xiao Qi saw Fan Hu's expression, and a feeling of fear arose

"Yes, yes... Yes, my lord, don't worry, we are all very powerful" Xiao Qi looked at Fan Hu cautiously, because he was afraid, he stammered a little, he thought that Fan Hu was dissatisfied with them being children

"Shhhh Phew....." Fan Hu took a deep breath, he never thought that what Xiao Qi said about them would be a group of children who looked to be eleven or twelve years old, he originally thought that Xiao Qi was just an exception

Song Lian on the side, seeing this situation, his eyes were also full of unbearability, they were ruthless and ruthless, it was good, but it was in Liushi, in that kind of environment, they could only be like this in order to survive, if it was in Liushi, in the face of such a group of children, Song Lian would only be vigilant, and would never have any sympathy for them, but this is a settlement in Liushi, seeing that the children behind Xiao Qi who looked completely harmless to humans and animals looked helpless and scared like a wounded deer, how could Song Lian feel good in his heart

At this time, Song Lian pushed Fan Hu with his elbow, "Brother Fan, don't be like this, you scared them"

"Brother, they are so pitiful, help them!" At this time, Xie Zhixin pulled a corner of Lafan Lake, she was kind by nature, her eyes were full of sympathy when she saw Xiao Qi's appearance, she completely forgot, if you want to talk about pity, she is the most pitiful, Xiao Qi No matter what, they are always protected by the army in the settlement, and their personal safety is always guaranteed, but what about her? Having lived alone in Liushi for so long, living in danger and fear every day, even sleeping with one eye open to avoid being attacked

Seeing the pitiful appearance of this group of children, Fan Hu sighed deeply, "Hey......... Okay"
