Chapter 167: It's not okay to eat alone
After dawn, looking at the devastated and burned makeshift camp, many people sobbed quietly with red eyes.
"We just want to live, why is it so hard!"
Listening to the muttering of the people, Li Yinguang's face was gloomy and almost dripping.
Treat the wounded, extinguish the fire, regroup the camp.
Walk?
More than 500 people died, and more than 1,500 remained, where did so many people go?
What are you going to do in the town of Manbach, freezing and starving to death?
"Boss, the machinery and equipment have been snatched away, but the basic tools used by the coolies to dig sweet grass and vines are still there, and the excavation work can be picked up again today, but if you want not to delay things, you need to get a few excavators as soon as possible, the temperature is too low, and the frozen soil will freeze overnight, without mechanical assistance, it is difficult to dig by manpower alone!"
Song Changsheng found Li Yinguang and said with a calm face.
Li Yinguang looked at him for a while before he nodded and ordered: "Lao Bu, first drive a few machines in the Iron Armor City, the excavation work can't be stopped!" ”
"Yes!" Buhe nodded, there are still a few mechanical equipment in the Iron Armored City, although they are not specially used for excavation, but with a little modification, they can be turned into excavators.
Listening to Li Yinguang's words, Song Changsheng and the people standing behind him breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they were not afraid of continuing to work, nor were they afraid of sneak attackers, what they were afraid of was that Li Yinguang would not be able to bear it, and would stop this temporary camp and disband their group.
That's the hell of a thing!
As long as the work of digging the rhizomes of the 'sweet grass vine' continues, the remaining people in the makeshift camp will be able to eat and eat without worrying about eating and drinking tomorrow.
"Wouldn't it be good to withdraw them to the town of Mambach?" Gu Liyan stood behind Li Yinguang, looked through the lookout window, looked at the busy coolie refugees not far outside, and couldn't help but ask softly.
Li Yinguang didn't look back, and asked softly: "Is Mambach Town home?" Will anyone go back to the town of Manbach and provide them with food to eat? ”
Gu Liyan frowned and did not speak.
Li Yinguang sighed and shook his head: "No, there is no shelter and no food, for them, the town of Manbach is not much safer than outside the city, there is no shelter from the cold, there is no food for the stomach, they will freeze to death and become corpses in the slums." ”
Turning around, he looked at Gu Liyan and said calmly: "Here, they still have a breath, a chance to breathe." ”
After saying that, he walked towards the control room.
Because the population base is large enough and the distribution is cooperative, Song Changsheng organized people to start digging 'sweet grass vines', and Mu Yunying led people to cut down trees and build camps.
In winter, the days were short, and they had to rush to work to restore the camp to its pre-attack appearance before sunset.
The sweet grass vines should be washed, cut into pieces, squeezed into juice, and boiled to produce sugar.
Use practical actions to tell the people in the Ironclad City of the Ancient Castle that their group of people is not waste, and they still have their own value that can be used.
At noon, the housekeeper Goda returned from the town of Mambach with a shipment of warm clothing, fuel, and several pieces of machinery.
Lunch is a sweet grass vine cooked by the hands of Muyun Sakura!
"Any clues?"
Li Yinguang was in the restaurant, eating the barbecue rice made by Xue Niang, and asked softly to the housekeeper who came over.
The housekeeper Goda said in a low voice: "Yesterday evening, at least three waves of people came out of Mambach Town, all in the direction of a temporary camp, and in addition, the excavation machinery that was robbed last night appeared in the second-hand market in Mambach Town today......
Li Yinguang's eating action paused slightly, and quickly regained his composure: "It's so blatant, it shows that people don't take us seriously!" ”
The butler Goda didn't speak, and it wasn't until Li Yinguang asked who it was, and then he spoke: "Cordion's men, the butcher's men, Kuroda Shota's men." ”
"Cordion?" Li Yinguang frowned: "This kid is still in the mood to do things with us?" ”
The housekeeper Goda said: "The machinery and equipment in the second-hand market in Manbach Town are being sold by Cordion's people, and they are the ones we have been robbed of!" ”
Li Yinguang nodded indifferently, thought of something, and asked, "Where did the people of the wolf tribe go?" ”
The housekeeper Goda smiled dryly: "I sent them to protect those business personnel in the sugar factory!" ”
In line with the principle of making the best use of things, those wolf tribes who were recruited back did not stay in the temporary camp for too long.
"I said it!" Li Yinguang muttered to himself, "Find out who participated in the attack on the temporary camp last night, we will not wronged the good people, and we will not let go of an enemy!" ”
"Yes!"
Goda, the butler, turned and hurried outside, there were still many things waiting for him to coordinate.
……
"Has the Castle returned?"
Lord's Palace, Andy Fei asked.
Clara, the head of the guard, shook her head: "I haven't returned to the port, it seems to be still parked outside the town, I heard that after collecting those refugees, the excavation and production work has resumed." ”
Andy Fei was slightly stunned and curious: "So fast? ”
"Maybe we can't wait too long!" Clara whispered with a wry smile.
"Can't wait?" Andy Fei's eyes flickered, and he repeated the three words, who can't wait? Whether the refugees can't wait, or the huge profits of the 'sugar factory' can't wait.
"The person who went to rob last night didn't get too much of a bargain, did he?" Andy asked with a smile.
Clara nodded: "Except for a few worthless excavation machines, nothing was brought back." ”
"According to that kid's shrewd character, how could he leave something too valuable outside the town." Andy is not too surprised by this.
Yesterday, someone wanted to target the temporary camp outside the town, and Andy Fei had already received the news, but he did not send anyone to inform Li Yinguang.
There is only one reason, there is no share of boiling sugar, and Andy Fei also wants to beat Li Yinguang through this sneak attack to let him know that it is okay to eat alone in Mambach Town.
Office of the Director of Law Enforcement Ma San.
"Mom, didn't you send someone to warn Shota Kuroda's old bastard and let him settle down recently?"
Ma San had a gloomy face and scolded.
Yesterday, Kuroda Shota sent someone to the outside of the town, but he couldn't hide it from someone who had a heart, so he didn't mention it first, at least he sent someone.
"Director, it seems that Shota Kuroda's people didn't make a move last night, and it was the 'bad boy' Cordion's people who attacked that makeshift camp!"
Ma San frowned: "That little bastard was almost killed by others, and he doesn't have a long memory?" ”
"It seems that there was a bit of a grudge with Bruce before, because of a woman, a few days ago he sent to assassinate and rob the wolf tribe failed, but he didn't succeed, so angry he almost sent someone to wipe out this werewolf tribe, and then this wolf tribe was recruited by the castle!"
Listening to the description of his subordinates, Ma San grabbed the bald skull, and scolded angrily: "Mom, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
"Or just say it, I heard that the Castle makes sugar in that temporary camp outside the city, and the income is extremely expensive every day, and I don't want to say that I will take some to honor the old man of the director."
Ma San squinted his eyes, looked at the people under his hands, and scolded with a smile: "Mom, it's not okay to tell you to do something, you are making trouble behind your back, chewing your tongue so much that you don't need to be taught, get out!" ”
"Hey, yes, yes!"
After waiting for the others to go out, Ma San restrained his smile and frowned, the sugar factory under the Castle made money, which really aroused the jealous and envious eyes of everyone in the town, if it goes on like this, even if the temporary camp outside the town is repaired and resumes operation, it will not take two days, and it will be attacked by someone, which is basically inevitable.
"I hope that kid will be shrewd, he will be reluctant to let go of a business like this, and he will not live long if he touches it!"
Ma San muttered to himself.
'Sugar water' is all the rage in Mambach Town, and Li Yinguang is the only merchant who can provide the raw materials for brewing sugar water, which is not a private secret.
The people who are staring at him, there are not only Kuroda Shota and Cordion behind their backs, but to put it mildly, these people are just mayflies on the surface, the 'knives' in the hands of those in power.
