Chapter 432: More monks and less porridge
"Hide? We have nothing to hide. Indeed, we only have the amount of two meals left. Zheng Jieming simply restated the facts directly, "So what do you think we should do?" β
"Two meals??" Shunqiang's emotions became extremely uncontrollable, "We haven't eaten lunch yet, and two meals mean that after dinner today, we won't have anything to eat tomorrow morning??? β
"What I ask is, what do you think we should all do to get through this?" Zheng Jieming interrupted him.
"What to do?? What to do? How do I know what to do? Isn't this a situation that you are creating now? When Shunqiang spoke, his mouth was full of foam, splashing Zheng Jieming's face.
Zheng Jieming felt a little disgusting, stretched out his hand, and wiped the spit off his face with an exaggerated movement to remind Shunqiang to pay attention.
But Shunqiang continued to blame the two endlessly.
Geng Zhi wanted to stop Shunqiang from continuing, but Zheng Jieming stopped him.
"Let him continue to talk first, after venting, it should be fine." Zheng Jieming said.
Shunqiang talked for a long time, and finally got tired, stopped the verbal attack, and took a breath.
"Finished? I'll say. Zheng Jieming said, "There are only two meals now, and there is no particularly good solution, so I can only compress the two meals into one meal today, and start the meal at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, while it is almost dark." If we can find a source of food, we will increase the supply. It's the only way to not panic and buy one more day tomorrow, you know? β
"What if I can't find it tomorrow?" Shunqiang asked.
"Find it the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I was hungry to find it, but I really couldn't eat the bark to make soup. Zheng Jieming replied expressionlessly.
Shunqiang smiled weirdly and shook his head, "Yes, you can have this headband?" β
"So what are you going to do? Inform everyone of the current situation, so that everyone is more negative and depressed? Zheng Jieming has begun to get impatient.
"Are you afraid that you won't be able to be a leader??" Shunqiang asked provocatively.
Zheng Jieming looked at Geng Zhi speechlessly.
Geng Zhi vaguely read a hint of murder in Zheng Jieming's eyes.
Geng Zhi thought about it, felt that he understood the content in Zheng Jieming's eyes, and slowly walked to the door, sealing the only way out.
Shunqiang didn't realize the danger hanging over his head, and continued to vent.
"There should be fewer people with you!! You've casually found so many people from outside before, these people should be excluded!! When there are fewer people, dry food can be used. There are more monks and less porridge!! β
"Yes, there are fewer people, and dry food is enough," Zheng Jieming said with a gloomy face, and he slowly took a step towards Shunqiang.
βοΌβ Shunqiang suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with Zheng Jieming's aura, and began to be vigilant.
"You're right, it seems that if there are more monks and less porridge according to your meaning, increasing the porridge is a solution, but if the porridge can't be increased, can it only reduce the monks?" Zheng Jieming softened his tone a little, hiding his murderous aura, and asked, "Then what monks should be reduced first?" β
"Of course, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled! These people should be excluded first! Shunqiang said, but for some reason, he began to feel a strange uneasiness in his heart.
"Oh? Old, weak, sick and disabled? Name it? Who should be excluded? Zheng Jieming asked.
"That Xie Wuzi! The legs are gone, why keep them? Li Xuan? That madman! There are others" Shunqiang called the names of the two people.
"Two, what else?" Zheng Jieming continued to ask coldly.
"And the new ones should all be excluded, in this team, if I lead it, only the elite soldiers will be left!" Shunqiang said.
"Weak generals should also be excluded?" Zheng Jieming asked, "For example, how many women?" β
Shunqiang suddenly thought that his wife was also among them.
"Your wife, and another aunt who has died of her husband, usually don't seem to do anything except move her waist and legs when she has nothing to do?"
"This is not either" Shunqiang stammered, speechless.
"And you don't have much combat power! I see that you can only be on duty as a guard and a coolie, and the coolie doesn't seem to be so efficient, but when you eat, your amount seems to be the largest among all of them? Zheng Jieming continued to ask.
He inadvertently put his hand on his waist, and Shunqiang saw that there was a knife stuck in his waist.
It seems that this knife was used to kill Pan Qihua.
"There are more monks and less porridge, what you said is really right. Generally speaking, in such a critical situation, it is more appropriate to pick the person who contributed the least, ate the most, and complained the most, right? Zheng Jieming asked.
"It should be the wounded" Although Shunqiang's feet were shaking, his mouth was still strong.
"The wounded ???" Zheng Jieming pulled out the knife and put it on Shunqiang's neck.
The knife is cold to the touch, and the next three roads of Shunqiang are soft all of a sudden.
He slid slowly downward, and then
Thump.
Frightened, he fell to his knees.
"No, it's not, I listen to you! I listen to you! Let's go now! Go and follow, find food, eat at night, eat tomorrow, eat more when you find food, I know! I understood that I was wrong, I was wrong! Shunqiang cried and pleaded with a sad face, "I'm selfish, I'm unreasonable, I deserve to die!" β
This kneeling was learned from Jiang Cai.
Zheng Jieming wanted to kill this man directly just now, but when he suddenly knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake, he felt that he could spare him for a day or two.
He looked up at Geng Zhi, who was still blocking the door.
"What do you think?" Zheng Jieming asked Geng Zhi's opinion.
"Wait." Geng Zhi advocates not killing first, so as to observe the after-effects.
Zheng Jieming grabbed Shunqiang's collar, lifted him up, grabbed the hair on the back of his head, and put his mouth next to Shunqiang's ear and said.
"We're sensitive to people like you. Some people always express their opinions wantonlyββββ whether it is reasonable or not. If you want to disrupt the unity of our team, if you want to cause problems, if you want to be a thorn? We're going to pull out your thorn anytime, anywhere. When the time comes, you will see whether it is your thorn that has a great influence or everyone's influence. β
Zheng Jieming gestured the knife in front of Shunqiang, and Shunqiang screamed in fright.
"I don't want to kill people, that affects my mentality, and I want everyone to live. But it seems like sometimes I have to make a move. So, if you're tired of living, you can force me. Zheng Jieming said to Shunqiang, "Do you understand what I mean?" β
"I know, I was wrong, I won't say anything for a while," Shun Qiang was so frightened that he lost his guts.
Zheng Jieming let go of his hand and walked towards Geng Zhi.
"Let's go, hold on! Had to look elsewhere for food! β
Geng Zhi looked back at Shunqiang and urged, "Why don't you get up quickly?" How much time have you delayed us?! β
"Yes, yes, yes!! I was wrong, I was wrong!! Shunqiang awkwardly got up from the cold ground, his knees covered in dust.
"Pat your knees, there's gold under the man's knees." Geng Zhi ridiculed Shunqiang.
Shunqiang really obediently patted the dust off his knees, lowered his head and followed Geng Zhi out of the door.
During this time, Chen Haoyang has filtered three buckets of groundwater, and the water problem has eased temporarily, but now the people in the car are starting to complain about hunger.
"Ouch, no! I can't walk anymore! Zhou Jitang shouted first.
He knew that there was little food, and he didn't know that there was only enough food for two meals, so he just expressed his hunger without holding back.
Chang Bing was next to him and pinched him hard to tell him to stop.
"When are you going to eat? It's supposed to be three o'clock, right? Huo Gong asked, although he didn't bring a watch, he roughly estimated the time.
"Why didn't you even prepare lunch today? Isn't it safe right now? Jin Yue didn't say anything, and asked Zhuang Yi in a low voiceββββ now it's usually Zhuang Yi who is in charge of cooking.
"Ahem, don't worry, didn't they all go out to find something?" Zhuang Yi knew that there was not much food in stock, but it was difficult to say.
"There must be nothing." Leng Yuhan is not a big person but has always been very clever, and guessed that the food reserves have bottomed out. She hugged the husky and whispered to the dog, "If you don't find a subsidy quickly, your life will be lost, and now you may be reduced to moving food."
The husky lowered his head melancholy and made a whining sound, as if he understood Leng Yuhan's words.
"Let's go!! Let's go!! Hurry up and find another village and town at dawn, and eat after you arrive, everyone bear with me, special circumstances!! This village is dangerous, and there is no way to stay! Zheng Jieming came back and immediately summoned everyone to get into the car.
"In such a hurry?? Everyone's hungry? Huo Gong asked.
Zheng Jieming looked back at Huo Gong, this man is a little old-fashioned, but he has not been too troublesome all the time, and he is a man who can persuade him with reason.
"Yes, this village is very dangerous, and we don't have time to cook here, if you are really hungry, let Zhuang Yi find some dry food first." Zheng Jieming explained, "When we get to the next suitable place to stay, we will cook. β
"Okay, then listen to you, I can endure it for a while, but my stomach is a little uncomfortable, and I guess I won't be able to endure it for too long." Huo Gong replied.
"Hmm. It's all the same. Zheng Jieming said, and after the group counted, they continued to follow the country road and headed south-east.
