Populus euphratica has had a very difficult time in the past six months, and it all starts with the herdsman named Bijes. After returning from Licheng, Hu Yang and his group of gold diggers lived a very comfortable life.

Thanks to the blessing of the herdsman Biges, everyone has a lot of harvest, even after several checkpoints along the way, the materials brought back are enough for each family to enjoy for more than half a year.

As the saying goes, it is easy to come and go quickly, and the poor are shy at first sight. Suddenly they don't have to worry about their next meal and they still have a few shopping vouchers in their pockets, and some people are thinking about how to make good times last, while others are looking for spiritual pleasures, such as gambling.

For gold diggers, the latter type of people is relatively more numerous. They are a bit like seafarers in the old world, engaged in very risky occupations, and if they go out alive today, they may bring back a corpse in a few days, and many times they may not even see the corpse.

In the face of this kind of life, if you want not to be driven crazy, you have to find some stimulation, such as drinking, and then gambling. No matter what they are, they all have one thing in common, that is, it costs money, or it costs materials.

In less than a month, several of Hu Yang's subordinates went from being shy and belly to wilting and drooping heads. The supplies that were exchanged for his life were either drunk or lost in gambling, and he became poor and white, and he had to take risks if he wanted to survive the winter.

Hu Yang did not refuse to go to gold panning because he still had food at home, and the reason why he was able to become the leader of a group of people was that his brain and body were indispensable, and the necessary righteousness was also very important. When the eldest brother can't watch the younger brother starve to death, in addition to a few meals appropriately, the most fundamental solution is to continue to work hard.

If you just go to Licheng to fight for your life again, it is not a bad thing for Populus euphratica. In fact, since Bijes killed the backbone of the Silver Wolf Gang, his team is the largest in the Pear City generation. It can't be said that he will be like the Silver Wolf Gang to exploit others harder, at least he will not be bullied by gold diggers, and he is much more comfortable than before.

But then something happened that directly stunned Populus euphratica and frightened him. On the first day he was about to leave for Pear City, he was suddenly broken into his home by several adjudicators, and he was caught in the base and locked in a dark basement.

Early the next morning, a strange man who spoke in Chinese came, claiming to be Wacker. I don't know the name Populus euphratica, and I suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and I only had one word in my head, it's over!

The next step was to ask and answer, and he would answer whatever Wacker asked, not daring to say a word. Fortunately, the question is very simple, and there is only one content, how to know Bijes.

I don't know if it's rumors or God's favor, Wacker, who was described by the homeless people as a hellish ghost, didn't light the sky lantern alive this time, and only locked it up for a day before releasing the poplar. Then he found out that none of the people in his team had been arrested for questioning, and the questions were 100% the same.

After inquiring carefully, Hu Yang understood why he was arrested, and it was a disaster. There was a guy in the team who drank too much and braged, saying that Bires was a good buddy, and how good the relationship between the two was, and if he wanted to go to Licheng to pan for gold in the future, he would squeak and return with a full load in minutes.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, Biges had kidnapped the red-robed nuns of the ascetic order, and President Wacker himself led people to chase them, but in vain, and now the adjudicators are investigating this daring herdsman all over the world.

Although the people were released, the poplar team was told that no one was allowed to leave the settlement until they were allowed to leave, and that if they dared to leave without permission, they would be Biges's accomplices.

Now Populus euphratica had no choice, so he had to take out the family's reserve materials to give everyone a point, and then take a few boxes of cigarettes to bribe the mine manager, wanting to find a job for his brothers. If you are tired and hard, you have to get through the winter, and you can't wait to starve to death.

But the steward took the cigarettes but never gave him a job, so he had no choice but to take two more boxes of cigarettes and beg Iszawi. Although this guy is notoriously greedy in the settlement, he has a lot of energy, and as long as he is given enough benefits, there is almost nothing he can't do.

Who would have thought that Iszawi also ate melons, even worse than the gold diggers. One of his arms and legs was broken by the adjudicators, for the same reason as himself, because he knew and had an inexplicable relationship with him.

Now let alone finding a way to live for outsiders, whether he can survive the winter has become a big question. The goods in the store were all copied by the adjudicators, and all the connections in the base were avoided, and there were injuries on his body.

At this time, Populus euphratica was really righteous, and he felt that the reason why he was able to live a comfortable life for a few days and solve the sworn enemy Silver Wolf was all thanks to the help of Biges. Now that the herders have become fugitives, they have not only failed to help, but also become informers, and even if they do not provide any useful information, it is a matter of character.

He didn't dare to resist the adjudicator, but it was only natural for him to help Biges take care of his friend. So Iszawi became part of their team, taking turns catching fish in the river outside the settlement, digging for prairie mice in the nearby fields, and bribing the officers at the checkpoint with the last bit of stock to allow them to go a little further into the mountains to hunt.

The ancients said that good people have good rewards, and they are not exactly, and the New Year is just over a good day. After all, Iszawi has a wide range of connections, and when this rumor passes, especially after the death of Wakel and Yoro, his suspicions will no longer be taken care of.

It didn't take long for him to catch up with the old relationship in the base again, although the store would not be open for a while and the goods could not be returned, but he got a beautiful errand to help the eldest nun find someone to fish, the tall whitefish of Selim Lake.

Yoro died, but Anna didn't completely give up on Sailim Lake, she transformed the visitor center in the lake area into a judge's stronghold, and used it to monitor the situation near Guozigou, which was an additional insurance on the north side of the base to prevent anyone from sneaking into the vicinity of the Yining base through this mountain road.

At the same time, she has not forgotten the economic benefits, she has eaten the high whitefish that is a specialty of Sailim Lake, and the taste is very good. But in addition to fishing, it is not appropriate to use both adjudicators and redeemer soldiers, and letting the displaced people do this will minimize the cost.

Her subordinates did implement her intentions, but through layers of apportionment and subcontracting, it quickly rose from 100 catties to 300 catties per week, and this job finally fell to the old relationship of Iszawi.

Even so, fishing and transporting less than 100 kilometres to get enough food is still a good job for most displaced people.

If it weren't for thanking Populus euphratica for taking care of him at his lowest point, Iszawi would have been able to pass the grate again from the already unthick soup through the Nth subcontract.

Hu Yang and his gang naturally did not refuse, and happily followed the referee on duty to Sailim Lake, transforming from gold diggers to fishermen. Although no one knew how to fiddle with the sailboat at first, he could only row a small boat to lower the net, and he began to work every day before dawn, and he did not dare to go ashore until it was dark, and he could not catch a few at the end of the day.

But at this time, people can give up their lives for the sake of stuttering, and even dare to fight the idea of the blue devil, what else do they dare not do or will not do. If you don't catch enough during the day, you will fight at night, and diligence can make up for the clumsiness, as long as there is a net copied, maybe you can make up for several days of shortfall.

This has been done for more than two months, and now the poplar group can be regarded as junior fishermen, not only is the rowing boat more and more neat, but even the galleon has also been agitated. Driving it to deep water to lay nets often has unexpected harvests, and the fish are not only numerous, but also large.

After lunch, Populus euphratica got dressed and walked to the hut by the lake, loaded the frozen tall whitefish into a wattle basket, and prepared to go to the base for delivery.

A total of nine of them came, three of whom had to act as couriers, and every day one person carried dozens of catties of fresh fish over the mountains and mountains to return to the Yining base in a basket, which cost almost four or five hundred catties a week.

Among them, 300 catties will be handed over to the base, and the rest will be sold privately by Iszawi, and less than half of the shopping coupons and materials in exchange will have to be paid tribute to the relationship in the base, and the rest can be shared by everyone.

Hu Yang and these people can enjoy the food and clothing distributed in the base, and even if there is still a big gap between the number of official residents, they can still get food and clothing. These shopping coupons are extra money, whether they are given to the family or saved, life is quite acceptable.
