The white-haired old man next to him quickly wrote it down in the small book, and after reading it, he couldn't help but raise his head in disappointment and said: "It's still those three sentences: the beautiful maid prays for the peculiar master, the beautiful maid charms the peculiar master, and the beautiful maid sees the peculiarity of the master." ”

With a pop, the madwoman who was doing it let go of the rack, her body fell to the ground, her eyes were closed, her mouth and nose were bleeding, and she actually fainted.

"Quick, help her down, she's too weak to continue. An old man pointed at her, and several people immediately went over, lifted the madwoman up, put her back on the bed, and let her rest.

Several people returned to another board room and sat together, frowning silently, all thinking silently.

The oracle is too subtle, and the clues seem to be clear and dark, and it is difficult to understand.

After a long time, the old woman looked at the snake girl and said undoubtedly: "Now there is only one way, let's assume that you are a slave of the revelation, and you have to think of ways to get close to him, and see if he is the savior of the revelation, the strange master." ”

The snake girl slowly stood up and bowed slightly: "Yes." ”

。

In the room, Li Xiaodong and Mayor Wu had a good conversation, still drinking tea slowly while tasting various refreshments.

Company Commander Li, who was standing on the side, saw that Mayor Wu was respectful in front of Commissioner Li, without the slightest arrogance in front of him in the past, and knew that this was a good opportunity, and he should take the opportunity to let Commissioner Li come forward to solve the shortage of materials in the camp.

He bowed down slightly and whispered a few words in Li Xiaodong's ear, Li Xiaodong nodded after hearing this, and put down the teacup.

"Mayor Wu, just now Company Commander Li said that although the camp in charge of the company has received strong support from the local residents, it is still short of food, and he hopes that Mayor Wu will call on the local residents to send some daily necessities such as food and materials to solve the urgent needs of the company. ”

According to common sense, the daily necessities needed by the troops are generally transported by the military's logistics department by ship on a regular basis, and should not be borne by the local garrison.

However, during this period, the main stream of the Mae Shui River, where supplies were transported, had been blocked by enemy mines, and Company Commander Li's company could only raise military supplies locally to tide over the difficulties.

As a local governor, considering the relationship between the residents of the garrison who should support the army, Mayor Wu will also regularly send food and materials to ensure the life of the company.

But he also has his own mind, he will make a big discount on the food supplies needed by the company, and he, like the other residents of the town, does not want the food they send to fall into the stomach of the mutant villagers.

If the food is not delivered at all, the soldiers will starve to death, and Mayor Wu naturally does not want to see this situation. But if enough food is delivered, not only will the soldiers not starve to death, but even the mutant refugees will have something to eat, which is another situation they don't want to see.

Therefore, the best effect is to reduce the supply of food and materials, so that the soldiers will definitely give priority to filling their stomachs, and the mutant refugees will definitely have food shortages, and if this continues, it will either lead to a large number of mutant refugees starving to death, or there will be a mutiny in the camp like today, so as to force the soldiers to suppress it by force and kill all the mutant refugees.

Like today, the snake girl took the lead in snatching food, which was actually one of the many changes that Mayor Wu expected to happen naturally. He could imagine that once the snake girl who took the lead was shot by the soldiers, there would definitely be a bigger mess next, and more mutated villagers would be killed, but he didn't expect that at this juncture, a royal commissioner would come inexplicably, and not a single troublemaker in the entire camp would be killed.

People are not as good as heaven, and now there is a Commissioner Li, who not only quelled a mutiny that should have become more and more violent, but also helped Commander Li to ask for supplies.

He put down the teacup, glanced at Company Commander Li with displeasure, and then smiled again and explained to Li Xiaodong:

Commissioner Li didn't know that the local residents had always supported the army, and in order to meet the needs of Company Commander Li's camp, in fact, the local residents had already tightened their belts to get by. ”

The implication is that the supply has reached the upper limit, and they themselves have no food to spare.

As soon as this kind of excuse came out, the emperor Lao Tzu was here, and he was not folded as a town mayor.

Company Commander Li was of course very unconvinced, and said: "Mayor Wu, the officers and soldiers of our company plus the mutant refugees are no more than a thousand people in total, compared to Shuanghe Town, a populous town with fertile farmland, I believe that this supply capacity should not be a problem." ”

Mayor Wu said expressionlessly: "Company Commander Li, do you understand the local situation more thoroughly, or do you, the head of a town, understand it more thoroughly?"

When this sentence was spoken, Lian Chang Li choked so much that he couldn't make a sound.

Li Xiaodong understood that the relationship between the two parties, which is a military company and a local town government, still hides many contradictions, which is far from what he imagined: the military and the people are one family.

As a passer-by here, he stayed for two days at most and left, originally because he didn't want to pay attention to some bullshit between the two of them, but since Company Commander Li asked him to call the shots, and he raised it again, if he couldn't even settle such a small problem, he would feel very shameless.

Anyway, he is now also a royal commissioner who patrols various places, and he should be in charge of injustices in an upright manner, not an embroidered pillow.

He took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "Mayor Wu, I think you should work hard, General Li once said: The army and the people are originally a family." Since Company Commander Li has a problem here, you can come forward to take care of it. ”

Mayor Wu immediately put on a smile and said: "Since Commissioner Li said so, his subordinates should do their best, and after the subordinates go back, they will immediately arrange a mule and horse convoy and send a few batches of materials over, but the town's reserves are limited, and after sending these batches of materials, this will ...... in the future."

"What's going on after this? Is it still not enough to meet the needs of Company Commander Li?" Li Xiaodong said as he looked at him.

Mayor Wu lowered his eyes and said, "In fact, as long as those mutated villagers eat a little less, all the officers and soldiers under Company Commander Li will be able to survive this extraordinary period." ”

Company Commander Li immediately objected: "They have already eaten enough, how can they have less?" and pointed to the door and said: "Your son also saw it today, they have begun to rebel against the food they have stood, if this continues, there will be more trouble, what do you want me to do?"
