"It's nothing, it's just that I'm worried that the plan won't keep up with the changes...... Anyway, we're going to be here for at least a week, and if there's anything you'd like me to help you with, just let me know. Xu Shuo said.

Bai Yu smiled, and was about to speak, when Junxiong walked over from the side.

"He doesn't need your help with anything, I have."

Xu Shuo glanced at Junxiong, this guy fought with him while shedding tears last night, and now he didn't feel embarrassed when he talked to him, it seemed that his skin was thicker than he thought. That's a good thing.

"How can I help?"

"The brothers haven't opened much meat recently, you are so good, let's go up the mountain with our hunting group in a while, maybe thanks to you, everyone can eat meat today."

"Hunting?"

This proposal made Xu Shuo a little interested, and he turned his head to look at Lilian, who was sitting in the corner drinking soup.

"Well, we happen to have a master hunter, if you can provide her with a bow, I don't think it will be difficult to get some meat."

Lilian noticed Xu Shuo's gaze, guessed that Xu Shuo was referring to herself, and saw that Junxiong was also looking at her, so she hurriedly put down the soup and waved her hand and said, "I, I'm not a hunting master, but if you want to help, I'm fine, it's just that don't think too highly of me." ”

"Hey, Junxiong," Bai Yu spoke, "What do you mean you haven't opened much meat lately, didn't you just eat meat buns last night?" There is also dried meat in the warehouse, don't just ask the benefactor of our village to work, it's too much! ”

Toshio shrugged.

"What's the matter, boss, didn't you also say before that the jerky in the warehouse is an emergency reserve grain, and you can't touch it, so let's get some fresh food." Besides, we don't have much pastime in this small village, I was afraid that Brother Xu and they would be bored, so I proposed it, wouldn't it be nice to kill two birds with one stone? ”

"He's right," Xu Shuo patted Bai Yu's shoulder and said with relief: "I want to find something to do for recreation, I'll go crazy if I don't do anything." ”

Seeing Xu Shuo's statement, Bai Yu didn't say anything anymore.

"Okay, stay safe, stay warm."

After breakfast, Bai Yu explained to everyone the division of labor for the day as before, and talked about what the village needed now - hay and large pieces of wood that could be made into planks. After reminding everyone to pay attention to safety and keeping warm, they let everyone get to work.

Toshio brought Lilian a wooden bow, which he said was the most decent bow in the village. Lilien took it, saying thank you, but after weighing the bow, she had a look of wanting to say something, thinking that she was not used to this kind of light and not strong bow, but there was no way, when she came out of Wink Manor, she had everything in her luggage, except for the bow that Liliam usually used, and she didn't know if Liliam's mother deliberately kept her away from the battle or what, in short, she didn't have to pick now.

There are a total of twelve members of the hunting group, including Xiaotian and Baozi, ten men and two women, most of whom are fourteen or fifteen-year-old ghosts. Because they robbed Xu Shuo and his party the day before yesterday, when they heard that Xu Shuo and Lilian were going to go up the mountain with them, they all had a weak expression, and they didn't dare to face Xu Shuo and Lilian, for fear of meeting their eyes.

Xu Shuo checked the numbers on the heads of the little ghosts in the hunting group with the eyes of love, and everyone's favorability for him was between 5~20, which was much higher than when they first met on the mountain road, and it seemed that the favor of meat buns and new clothes still had a great impact on the little ghosts.

Junxiong saw the weakness of the little brothers' hearts, and comforted everyone: "Everyone, I have already talked to Brother Xu about the day before yesterday, everyone doesn't know each other, now Brother Xu is his own person, and they will be friends in the future, don't be restrained." ”

The imps gave a perfunctory "uh-huh", and it didn't seem to be able to let go so quickly.

In any case, the group still took their weapons as planned, walked into the forest, and headed towards the slope of the border generation, because they didn't know the way, so Xu Shuo and Lilian walked at the back of the group, and Junxiong followed behind them.

On the way, Xu Shuo asked Junxiong: "What are you doing today, is it still a robbery?" ”

"No, it's really hunting today." Junxiong replied: "You can't do this every day, and you have to bring some prey back occasionally, otherwise Bai Yu will be suspicious." ”

Xu Shuo nodded, "I see, you have done a very rigorous job of secrecy." ”

Liliam listened to the conversation between the two on the sidelines, and a confused expression appeared on her face.

"Wait, Mr. Xu Shuo, don't you disagree with what Junxiong and the others are doing, why does it sound like you have reached an agreement, aren't we here to supervise them not to do bad things?"

"Uh......" Xu Shuo remembered that he didn't tell Lilian about last night, so he quickly explained: "I'm sorry, Lilian, I forgot to tell you, we made a bet last night, and I lost, so we can't interfere in these things in the future, and we can't tell Bai Yu." ”

"Huh? How so? Mr. Xu Shuo, do you even count your bets with me? Lilian was both surprised and surprised.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think I'd lose, so I'll ......" Xu Shuo touched the back of his head a little embarrassed.

"Haha, this guy bet I couldn't punch him in ten minutes, and I was beaten in the snow." Toshio lowered his voice and boasted triumphantly to Lilian.

"Mr. Xu Shuo was taken by you? How can it be? Lilian didn't believe it at all, and said with a glare: "I know Mr. Xu Shuo's strength, you must be deceiving people!" ”

"If you don't believe it, ask him yourself." Junxiong pointed at Xu Shuo and said.

Xu Shuo pursed his mouth, although Junxiong was not lying, but his smug appearance was really a little unpleasant, so he said mercilessly: "It's not because someone shed tears, I stopped for a while, otherwise do you think you can really beat me?" ”

"I—I didn't shed a tear!" Junxiong immediately denied it, but he also knew in his heart that what Xu Shuo said was the truth, so he blushed after saying this, and walked to the front of the team while changing the topic, "The front will go to the trapping area immediately, I'll go see if I have caught anything." ”

With that, Toshio ran away.

"Huh." Xu Shuo smiled triumphantly.

"Hey, Mr. Xu Shuo, anyway, it's not good to let them continue to do this kind of mountain banditry, right?"

Lilian is still more concerned about the behavior of the hunting group than the wins or losses between the two, Xu Shuo said that this is not good, and she also thinks so, but now Xu Shuo has decided not to care about this matter for the sake of a gambling game, she thinks this is very bad.

"Hmm, what do you say......"

Xu Shuo put away his smile and wanted to explain to Lilian that he didn't decide to stop caring about this matter because he lost the gamble, otherwise he wouldn't have let Junxiong hit him at all last night, but he didn't know what to say to make Lilian understand his thoughts, because he himself didn't know whether this decision was right or wrong.

"I don't think simply forbidding them to rob the road or fight black boxing won't solve the problem in this village." Xu Shuo said.

"What is the problem with this village?" Lilian asked.

Xu Shuo slowed down his pace, distanced himself from the members of the hunting group who were walking in front, and then said softly: "On the first night we first came to the village, I asked Baozi why the village was full of young people, Baozi said that other people went to make a lot of money, I asked him what it means to make a lot of money, did you hear how he answered me at that time?" ”

Lilion shook her head.

"He said that making a lot of money means killing people, burning buildings, and robbing shops." Xu Shuo said, "The little ghosts in the village rob the road, steal, and fight black boxing because they have a problem with their thinking, and the problem with their thinking is because their material life is not guaranteed, if a person doesn't even know what to eat at the next meal, how can he know what is right and what is wrong?" In their eyes, what they can eat is right and good. If the problem of food and clothing is not properly solved, no matter how much we exhort, there is no point in admonishing us. ”

"Then what should we do, shall we give them gold coins and help them with food and clothing?" Lilian said.

Xu Shuo shook his head.

"Although giving them money can solve their urgent needs, it is only temporary to let them have to worry about food and clothing, we will have to leave sooner or later, the income and expenditure in the village are not proportional, and one day the money will be spent. And it is not enough to solve the problem of food and clothing, people are different from animals, people living in a civilized society will not only be satisfied with food and clothing to be solved, they will also want to have more money, better food, better living environment, if all this can not be achieved through legitimate means, people will easily go astray. If you want to solve the problems of the village, you must give the village hope and hope that you can see a new life. ”
