"Get up." The young man didn't have any superfluous expressions, and there was no more majesty in Qing Yue's voice. But with such an indifferent and calm demeanor, it showed the demeanor of everyone, so that these children, who were not much different from him, were ashamed of themselves, that is, they didn't know the rules and didn't dare to get up immediately for a while.

"Gongzi Xie." The man in the fancy costume made a demonstration, kowtowed to the ground again, and then got up.

The organic spirit children did so, and the stupid ones watched their companions do it, and they did it one after another, shouting "Gongzi Xie" and getting up from the ground.

Seeing the young man bowing slightly, the man in Chinese clothes turned around and said to the children: "Okay, pick up the firewood and make a fire in four piles." ”

This time, Lin Xiaozhu did not break away from the collective again. She dragged Xia Shan, followed everyone into the forest next to her, picked up some dead branches and carried them over there. By this time a fire had already been lit upstream, and the boy sat by the fire, listening to what the men in fancy clothes were saying to him. And the goatee somehow found a small iron pot, washed it in the mountain stream, filled it with water, hung it on the fork of the tree, and put it on the fire to boil the water.

There is a lot of strength in people, and in a short time, a large pile of firewood was picked up. Under the command of the man in fancy clothes, three more fires were raised. The children were placed to sit around two fires farther away from the boys.

"Alright, it's time to eat." Another man carried a cloth bag in his hand, shook it at everyone, then threw it into the grass next to him, turned and left. Everyone walked for a day, and at noon they had to eat a piece of cake shared by the big men, and when they were all growing their bodies, they were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. At this moment, when you see something to eat, where do you still take the restraint just now to heart? Immediately pounced on the cloth bag like a hungry wolf.

Revolution is not a time for dinner or politeness. So when Lin Xiaozhu heard the man shouting, he didn't care about Xia Shan's reaction, and pulled him forward a few steps. But she is thin and small, and she is a girl, she has no strength, and her movements are not so savage. Even if she was prepared in advance, when everyone rushed up, she still stumbled and was squeezed to the side, almost stampede, and she didn't touch the edge of the cloth bag. I had to watch everyone squeeze out of it with a flatbread. Fortunately, Xia Shanren is not stupid, and he knew what she meant when he was pulled forward by her. The man was tall again, and finally grabbed four large cakes and squeezed them out of the crowd. Although the expression on his face was still so flat, he handed two cakes to Lin Xiaozhu: "Eat." ”

"Thank you, Brother Xia Shan." Lin Xiaozhu thanked him with a smile on his face. She knew that this kid was still reliable at a critical time.

Xia Shan still didn't seem to hear it, eating the cake by himself, but he kept standing by Lin Xiaozhu's side and didn't leave.

Lin Xiaozhu also took a bite of the flatbread and looked around. She was worried that this was one of the rules of survival, and that those people wanted to use this method to survive the fittest. If every meal is like this in the future, she is small and has little strength, and it is absolutely impossible to grab the cake without relying on Xia Shan. Today, there will definitely be people who eat more and occupy more, and some people will starve.

Really. Not far from them, a stout boy of 1.8 meters tall, holding five large loaves of bread in his hand, nibbled on a happy face; and a few men had four or three loaves of bread in their hands. And four other skinny children, while rubbing their injured arms and legs, looked at the empty cloth bag, and cried anxiously.

Lin Xiaozhu frowned, and turned his head to look at the young man and the big man. I saw that the goatee was gone, and the young man was still talking to the man in the fancy dress next to him, and the big men were gnawing on the flatbread by themselves, and no one was looking at this side at all.

Is no one really watching? But she didn't believe it. After looking around for a long time, she finally found a corner of her clothes on a nearby tree.

Lin Xiaozhu's heart moved. It seems that this is not some survival of the fittest, but I want to do the interview through this cake. The reason why the man did not distribute the loaves but let them rob them was to see how they were doing. Now, who have eaten the bread by virtue of their ability or relationship, and who have not; Which ones have taken the bread and given it to others, and who have only taken their own portions, and who have eaten more and taken more; Which people take it for granted, and which people feel ashamed; Who will stand by and who will stand by and who will stand by and stand up...... This cake is like a mirror that shows a person's abilities and conduct.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaozhu opened his mouth and took a bite of the cake, and then squinted his eyes comfortably. It's been half a year since she came here, and she hasn't really eaten serious food except for eating bran all day long. Although this cake is only made of sorghum noodles, only a little salt is added, and in order to preserve it for a long time, it is very dry and hard. But when it comes to her mouth, it is no less than the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

"Hey, if you take so much of this bread, they won't have anything to eat. This is what the son gave to everyone to eat, why don't you take so much when no one else has any? A voice rang out.

Lin Xiaozhu raised his eyes and looked over. is a tall, strong, thick-eyed and big-eyed young man, who seems to be a person with a great sense of justice. He glared at the strong boy, his face full of indignation.

The strong boy paused in surprise and looked at the person in front of him who questioned him. glanced at everyone again, saw that everyone was looking at him, and then recalled what the kid in front of him said, and suddenly blushed. He grew strong and ate a lot. Usually starving at home all day long, today I finally grabbed five flatbreads, and I saw that I realized my wish to be able to eat enough, but I didn't expect someone to say that he ate more and occupied more.

But this bread he never wanted to give. He moved his cheeks and swallowed the cake with difficulty, and he glared at the person in front of him: "I didn't rob your bread to eat, what's the matter with you?" Thou shalt have pity on them, and wilt thou give them thy bread to eat? ”

"I ......" the messenger of justice was choked speechless. But he quickly calmed down and said, "If you don't give up the extra bread, I'll go and tell my master that you won't have a single bread to eat." ”

The strong boy glanced back at the other side, as if he was a little scared. After thinking about it, he took out a cake from his arms and said, "I have a large amount of food, so I can let one at most." ”

There are not just two people in the cake, as long as the thorn is willing to take one out, things will be easy to do. The messenger of justice stopped pressing him, took the bread, and handed it to the one who had not been taken. He was about to go to the others to persuade him to educate, but he didn't need to speak anymore, and those people handed the bread they had taken extra to those who didn't grab it. A storm subsided.

Lin Xiaozhu smiled.

The fact that the messenger of justice did not sue first but found a way to solve it in private shows that he is a very intelligent man who knows how to weigh the pros and cons - if he does to file a complaint, although the matter can be resolved, the children who have no bread to eat will be grateful to him. But when the strong boys were punished, they naturally hated him; And most children will also think that he is a traitor. After all, everyone came out of the mountains, and they were all sold into slavery, and this contradiction can be regarded as a contradiction among the people. Shouting out without being the first is no different from selling friends for glory. Now that he solves it like this, everyone will think that he is smart and righteous. It can be said that he has won the respect of everyone, even the strong boys.
