Chapter Seventy-Four: The Welfare of the Unmarried
After eating in a hurry, Chang Shilei and Su Qi took a small blackboard and watercolor pencils, and quietly came to the east entrance of Liangxia Village, more than 150 meters away from Wang Baoshan's house.
Su Qi took out a crossbow arrow made of wood and put it on the crossbow bracket, aimed it at the window of Wang Baoshan's house and shot it. At such a distance, the wooden arrow had no impact when it reached the window. It won't break the glass, but it can have the effect of calling people.
After two arrows, Wang Baoshan sneaked up to the roof and took out a small mirror to take a picture of the big poplar.
The two sides have been in touch, Chang Shilei took out the pre-written question board, and raised his hands to Wang Baoshan.
Wang Baoshan has a telescope at home and can see the words on the blackboard.
After a minute, Chang Shilei put down the blackboard and waited for Su Qi to explain the situation to him.
Su Qi took the telescope and read out the words written by Wang Baoshan on the blackboard:
"Got it, I'll contact the others. The time of the day is too tight, can you forgive? ”
Chang Shilei immediately erased the words and wrote two big words: Can't!
Wang Baoshan responded:
"Well, the situation in the village is not optimistic, and I don't promise to inform everyone."
"Time waits for no one, I'll be here tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon to hear from you."
In this way, the two sides settled the matter of negotiations.
After saying this, the two of them also talked about some trivial matters. For example, if the family now drinks one gruel a day, can they tie some rice or flour with a crossbow arrow? Salt or pickles can be tied.
There are a lot of cicada chrysalis in the grove east of the village, so catch some and shoot them in for me to taste.
There are about 1,200 zombies in the village, and we are afraid that we will not be able to last for a week.
......
After the exchange, Chang Shilei waved his volatile sour arm, turned his head and said to Su Qi below:
"What do you think about the problem of food?"
Su Qi looked up at Chang Shilei above and muttered:
"You are the president of the Tsing Yi Society, you have the final say, I just kill the zombies."
Tsuneishi laughed angrily.
"The crossbow bolt is in your hand, I don't ask who you ask."
"It's definitely not going to work, it's too far. If you miss a shot, you hit someone else's house or simply drop it outside the yard, which is a waste of food. ”
"How many meters does that take?"
"About 70 meters."
Su Qi replied worriedly.
70 meters around Wang Baoshan's house are cornfields, and no one dares to guarantee that there are no zombies inside. The two of them knew very well that this risk could not be taken.
On the way home, Su Qi suddenly slapped his thigh, which startled Chang Shilei.
"What are you doing, surprised! I thought I had a zombie. ”
Su Qi said excitedly:
"Do you have dried chicken manure all in your head? Isn't Liu Chun's family planted with bamboo? I'll just go back and replace the wooden arrows with the bamboo arrows. ”
Speaking of this, Chang Shilei also understood.
The bamboo in Liu Chun's house is ornamental bamboo, with a thin thumb and thin skin, and a little finger can be stretched into the middle.
The bamboo was chopped down to make arrows, and the millet and flour were poured into them. It weighs about the same as a wooden arrow. The distance of 150 meters is still no problem, even if you miss a few, you will not feel distressed.
"Made, you kid has a lot of ideas. I'll leave it to you, and I'll go and apply for supplies with the third brother. ”
,
After Su Qi and Chang Shilei's contact, Wang Baoshan contacted the village manager to his home. Gu Wang Baoshan said that in order to protect the two stewards, they were bitten to death by zombies, and if they couldn't reach any agreement, he would have no face to live.
Su San followed Su Qi and Chang Shilei to the big poplar and began to bargain.
Liangxia Village has become like this, there is nothing to talk about at all. As long as they are allowed to live, any conditions are acceptable.
However, Su San is not a bandit, and he ran away after the robbery.
The joint insurance household is less than six miles away from the village, and he must consider the problem of these people after they survive.
Looting them is too hard, and it's easy for them to recover and get revenge. The huge granary is placed there, and everyone will be worried. Favors and favors are not worth a pound of rice!
After two hours of communication and negotiation, the following agreement was finally reached:
First: Su San provided rations for 300 people for four days, and after four days, these people recovered their strength and could kill all sides.
Second: The two sides should work together inside and outside to clean up the zombies to the point where they can go out.
Third: Measure the combined harvest of corn in the village, and measure the village to take three-quarters of the recycled income.
Fourth: Wheat seeds and fertilizers were provided by Susan, and in return, the village needed to exchange staple foods such as corn, sweet potatoes, and edamame.
Fifth: The two sides form an offensive and defensive alliance. If either party is attacked by a third party, the other party must provide unconditional support. It doesn't matter if the third party is a living person or a zombie.
Sixth: Liangxia Village selected some personnel to join Su San's joint security team, and was under the unified command of Su San.
Seventh: Accept the five chapters of the covenant.
Eighth: Promote the union of unmarried adults.
Eight conditions are accepted unconditionally by the other party. For them, even if they sell the village, they have to agree, seeing that the living are dying, what else can they ask for.
Instead, Su San agreed to leave them three-quarters of the harvest and lend them wheat seeds, pesticides and fertilizers. This took the two stewards by surprise.
originally thought it was charity, but they didn't expect Su San to leave them with enough dignity.
Su San doesn't suffer a loss here.
Get a quarter of the food for nothing, and you don't have to fear the revenge of the village.
The expansion of the joint protection team and the establishment of an offensive and defensive alliance are all dreamed of by Su San. In this way, the danger in the next village was lifted. Old yellow heads, they are even less worth mentioning.
The happiest thing for the young lads was Article 8. Promote the union of unmarried adults.
There are more men and fewer girls in this village, and more than 30 young men in their twenties have no wives and cannot enjoy the joy of family. Now it's okay, the little girl in the village can pick whatever you want. For this alone, there is not a single young man in the village who does not orgasm. They have asked to join the joint protection team unconditionally.
provided strong support for Liu Erye's negotiation work.
Su San spent two days to get the construction materials and the amount of the village, and waited for the results of the negotiations between the three stewards.
Things in this village are much more complicated than you think.
They did not meet the urgent survival needs of Xia Village, and all kinds of strange conditions flew all over the sky during the negotiations.
In the end, it's all about the struggle for power.
Every family wants a piece of the pie in the boardroom. It's just that this soup is not so easy to divide.
Su San and Liu Chun were the first to disagree, and the three stewards also disagreed. The families did not have him because they had others, and he did not agree. After two days, all other conditions were negotiated, but the allocation of members in the conference room was stuck.
Su San and Liu Chun's opinions were not only unanimous but also firm, and they finally arched the three old guys away, and absolutely did not accept anyone to step into the door of the conference room.
