73.Chapter 73
Seeing Ding Chen casually open the bow, he shot another bow ten meters away with one arrow, and everyone was stunned, including Ding Chen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Su Ying's right hand, which had already held the pistol, forgot to take it out of her arms, she walked behind Ding Chen in surprise, looked at the female shooter opposite who also looked surprised, and whispered, "Honestly, what was you aiming at just now?" ”
Ding Chen looked at the bow in his hand, threw it aside, and said to Su Ying, "It's really a pity that you say that. He said, "Can't I point to where to shoot and which hundred steps to pierce Yang?" ”
Su Ying looked at the few people who were staggering, and shook her head resolutely, "I believe where to shoot." ”
So Ding Chen decided to ignore her and said to a few people who were struggling to get up: "Do you still want a car?" ”
The child holding the firewood knife got up dizzily, touched the firewood knife and still wanted to get on, but was dragged by the man next to her and did not let her go over to give her head. He had just been hit in the abdomen by the child's head, and he was still able to hold on. But the other companion was not so lucky, he was stabbed in the neck by Ding Chen, and now he is still lying on the ground with the man who led the way.
The female archer who was closer to Ding Chen squatted down and looked at the man in charge, and asked Ding Chen, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"Haven't you seen anyone faint?" Ding Chen said: "Or are you the ones who don't have the final say?" ”
A few people who were still able to move carefully bypassed Ding Chen, gathered together, and emboldened each other. The female archer in the distance threw away the broken bow and walked over, looked at Ding Chen vigilantly, and said, "What do you want?" ”
Ding Chen opened his mouth and said to Su Ying very aggrievedly: "Why do they seem to have become victims?" ”
Su Ying was very interested in this group of people, and stood beside Ding Chen and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you run here to rob? ”
Several people looked at each other, and it was the archer who said, "We have come from the north, and we have run out of food here." ”
"So you want to do something that doesn't cost you?" Ding Chen said: "Fortunately, our strength is relatively strong, otherwise we will be robbed of money and sex." ”
"We just want food." The woman argued.
"They didn't want to rob them." Su Ying glanced at the person lying on the ground, "At least he didn't think about it." ”
"Who the hell are you from?" Ding Chen said dissatisfiedly: "Pig teammates will kill people." ”
"Did you find out?" Su Ying whispered in Ding Chen's ear: "That little girl with a knife looks good. ”
Ding Chen glanced at her and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"I thought you'd be interesting." Su Ying rubbed Ding Chen's arm, "I thought you didn't like me like this, of course you should like her like that?" ”
Ding Chen glared at her, and said in his heart that I am not silent, and the basic discipline is still required. So he ignored her, waved his hand and said, "You guys go, you don't have to leave anything." ”
Several people were obviously surprised, and looked at Ding Chen and hesitated. Ding Chen shook his head helplessly, turned around and pushed the cart to continue on the road.
Li Jing followed him closely, and only after walking past those people did he ask in a low voice, "Just left?" ”
"What if you don't leave?" Ding Chen glanced at him curiously, "These people are so poor that they have their lives left, do you still want to rob them?" ”
Li Jing blushed, flashed and stopped talking. Su Ying laughed and said, "Why are you looking forward to others robbing you so much?" ”
"Because I like to hear it." Ding Chen said: "And if someone robs you, I can still worry about it." ”
The two of them talked all the way back to the apartment, and it seemed that they didn't take what happened on the road seriously at all, but that night, both the caravan and the people of the apartment had strengthened their defenses, and it was clear that everyone had already received the news that a large group of passers-by had appeared.
As a witness at the scene, Ding Chen once again appeared in the high-level meeting of the apartment. This is not the first time, he has already attended such meetings several times when the watermill was being built. The difference from the previous ones was that the meeting was held in Daddy's room, because after the caravan arrived, it was not private enough to discuss things in the small restaurant.
After listening to Ding Chen's description, several people glanced at each other, and Huo Si frowned and said, "Do you want to send someone out to have a look?" ”
"Tomorrow." Daddy said, "It's too dangerous after dark. ”
Ye Dai glanced at Ding Chen and asked, "Why do you always encounter things?" ”
Ding Chen was also depressed, "Of course, it's because I'm always running around." ”
"Always with a woman?" Ye Dai asked.
"There's a kid this time." Ding Chen refused to carry this pot, and immediately pushed back.
Dad coughed and reminded the little couple that there were still outsiders present. Then he asked Ding Chen, "How is that machine?" ”
"It's working." Ding Chen said.
"Very good." Ye Dai was actually very concerned about the results of this experiment, and had already gone to see the corn when Ding Chen came back, so she immediately helped Ding Chen to fight for success.
Because of the news that Ding Chen brought back, Xu Shuidong's negotiator also rushed back to inform the old city to make preparations early, so the negotiations could be concluded temporarily.
She said excitedly, "I've seen those corn kernels, and they are very complete. ”
"The threshing speed is also good." Ding Chen added: "But I'm worried that some of the corn kernels have been crushed. ”
Several people glanced at each other. "How many were crushed?" Daddy asked.
This is a serious problem. If there is an unfamiliar crowd nearby, the alert level must be raised, and then there will be no large-scale outings. The already tight autumn harvest plan immediately became unsustainable, and if Ding Chen's corn thresher could be put into operation, it would save some time, which would be an important addition to the already tight manpower in the apartment.
Ding Chen spread his hands, saying that he also did not have accurate data. Then the others frowned.
Daddy thought for a moment and said to Ding Chen, "You go again tomorrow and figure out how much corn you have lost." He said to Li Xiang again: "You take people out tomorrow and find a way to find out how many people are here." It's all somewhere. ”
He said to Ye Dai again: "Tomorrow Xu Shuidong's people are here, relax the conditions a little, let them send a batch of guns first." You don't need to use what your dad has prepared. ”
"Shells." Ye Dai reminded: "We can only reload bullets, and we can't produce cartridge shells. ”
"Okay." Dad said to Zhu Yu, who was immersed in records: "It seems that this year's harvest is going to lose a lot of money." ”
"Now the main thing left is the confiscation of soybeans and potatoes." Zhu Yu said: "It's useless for them to ask for soybeans, and it's hard to say about potatoes." ”
"And green onions and turnips." "It would be nice if they came a few days later," Hoss reminded. ”
"It's going to be cold any later. If it were me, I would also choose to migrate towards the end of the rainy season. Daddy said, "We can only say that we are unlucky." ”
"The caravan should stay for a few more days." "With them, we would have less pressure on our security," Hoss said. ”
"You know what I'm worried about." Daddy said, "Do you have any ideas?" ”
Several people looked at each other, but none of them spoke. Ye Dai coughed and pushed Ding Chen, "Come out with me." ”
Ding Chen looked at everyone inexplicably and found that those people were suddenly selectively blind. Only then did he realize that there was something that people wanted to avoid discussing with him, so he hurriedly got up and followed Ye Dai out.
Daddy's room is on the ground floor, next to the dining room. So after the two of them came out, they could just see the people of the caravan eating and drinking in the restaurant. Every time they came to the apartment to rest, the apartment provided food, and then the caravan paid for it.
"Why do they all seem happy?" Ding Chen asked.
"Because they have a bargain to pick up again." Ye Dai didn't look very happy, "You'll know soon." ”
Ding Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Those who migrated?" ”
Ye Dai nodded and said irritably: "Don't ask, I don't want to talk about this." ”
Ding Chen shrugged his shoulders innocently, vaguely understanding what Ye Dai was talking about.
