Chapter 18 Excavators
Ye Xuan looked at these fellow villagers in front of him, and the relationship between everyone was about the kind that was familiar with each other, but they couldn't name each other.
Well, after standing in the center for so long, Ye Xuan hasn't introduced himself yet, and now they don't even know the name 'Ye Xuan'.
If you expect this group of people to vote for him, it is better to go home and wash and sleep as soon as possible.
This is not a crime of war!
It's not that I don't want to work hard to canvass for votes, it's just that my reputation is not high, and no matter how hard I try, it's useless.
In this regard, the former village chief took advantage of him, and everyone else knew him well.
Coupled with the previous words, it can be said that he has brushed enough prestige, and there is basically no opponent.
Now it is only a little bit away from him being the current village chief again.
This journey is called Ye Xuan's fist.
If you can't win by voting, then conquering by force is also an option.
After experiencing many obstacles from the supermarket owner, Sister Zhang, Uncle Shui and others, no one finally stood up again.
Ye Xuan stood gloomily behind him.
"Are you ready, old man?"
The former village chief frantically destroys his own brain, trying to find a suitable solution.
"Ahem, there are still a lot of villagers who didn't show up, and we can't just ignore them.
So be it! Now is the time to sign up, and the actual voting is scheduled for three days away. ”
"Old man, don't talk about those useless ones, you can't escape from this beating today."
When the plan failed, the village chief made another move.
He waved his hand, stopping the brawny guys from rushing up.
"Come on! If you think this will make the villagers approve of you, go for it! I will never resist, and no one will stop you. ”
Is it to retreat into advance?
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, understanding the other party's intentions.
But ah, I'm standing up, how can I go down like this! You're going to have to go on no matter what!
casually punched out, leaving the former village chief with the same style of a handsome panda.
Even if he was beaten into a panda eye, he still didn't call anyone to help.
Then there was no then, Ye Xuan didn't have the slightest interest in bullying the weak, and the two punches were just to relieve his anger.
"I'll let you go this time, and I'm going to keep working hard."
With that, he returned to his teammates.
Since the beginning, these people have been watching the excitement, knocking melon seeds while being a melon eater, and they are not worried that Ye Xuan will suffer at all.
Xuan Jie handed Ye Xuan a handful of melon seeds and asked curiously:
"Well, what are you going to do?"
Ye Xuan shook his head.
"I may not have a chance this time, but the ending is not bad, anyway, for me, it doesn't matter who becomes the village chief.
Of course, judging from the prestige of the previous village chief, if he can continue to be the village chief, my plan will be more comfortable. ”
Father Xuan watched them chatting sadly on the side, and slowly interjected.
"Okay, what if I have a chance?"
Ye Xuan blinked his eyes and immediately came up with a solution.
"Are you interested in becoming a village chief?"
"Now that I am on stage, I can not only show myself, but I may also be able to gain a throne as the village chief."
Xuan's father choked angrily.
"Do you think I'm an acrobat? Perform a big panda eye on stage? ”
Ye Xuan smashed his mouth, indicating that he was powerless to refute.
"Let's go! Take our new employees back to work. ”
He dispersed the crowd around the village chief, which was not actually a dispersal, he just walked over normally, and the crowd dispersed.
took away the two new employees that Uncle Shui pointed out to him before.
It's all said to be him, can he still rely on it?
waved his hand to the three people who had choked the village chief before.
Among the three of them, Uncle Shui came over and chatted a few words before leaving.
Sister Zhang walked over, looked at the beautiful women beside Ye Xuan, and walked away with a sad look in her eyes.
Only the supermarket owner followed, and before that, he exposed the evil deeds of the former village chief in public, and now he is desperately feeling safe and needs to find someone to comfort him.
Looking at the dark circles on the face of the former village chief, he knew who he should go with.
Then there were the two captives who had previously had their limbs intact - Missing Tooth and Congxin.
As for whether the other party is willing or not? Is there any such thing as a captive who is willing to say it or not?
Ye Xuan nodded carefully, and before he knew it, he already had five employees.
It's just that these five are different from the previous two, and they can't be used to death, otherwise they will have a disturbed conscience, except for missing teeth.
Ye Xuan planned to let them work for 12 hours at most, except for missing teeth.
"Hello, I will be your boss in the future, I hope you can work hard and strive for food freedom."
Among the five employees, Cong Xin and Missing Tooth nodded the fastest, and directly pointed out the afterimage.
And the supermarket owner always feels that these words are somewhat familiar, and it seems that he also said something similar back then.
The last two glanced at each other, wondering if they were not here to help? How did you suddenly become an employee?
"Alright, now from the boss's first task - fetching water!"
In the last days, there is no running water, and if you want to drink water, you can only do it yourself, and if you are unlucky, you may have to choose between dying of thirst and dying of nausea.
But the good thing about Shimizu Village is that it has abundant water resources and is close to a crystal clear river, which is why it was called Shimizu Village.
In particular, the fish in this river are said to be delicious and sweet.
Of course, this is the pre-doomsday statement, and now, the fish in the water seem to smell the smell of living people and keep jumping ashore.
Ye Xuan watched them bounce around on the shore and began to think about his previous pool plan.
Why don't you dig a waterway from here and connect it to your backyard?
In this way, you don't have to go so far to fetch water in the future, and it is also convenient to clean up the zombies in the water.
Ye Xuan silently added this plan to his goal.
Although the employees have suffered a little, my world will change because of them.
Besides, is it difficult to just have a canal?
The constant bouncing of zombie fish made the whole river seem to boil.
The new employees looked at the tumbling river and felt a burst of panic, and they didn't dare to lean over at all, for fear of being bitten by a fish.
Xuanjie and the others were also worried, can the water in this river really be drunk?
Ye Xuan glanced at them and knew what they were thinking, so he comforted:
"There's no other water to drink than the water here."
Seeing that they gradually accepted the reality, the expression on their faces became broken, as if they were going to rush over and drink directly, Ye Xuan explained to them.
"When the time comes, make a simple filter and boil the water for another 30 minutes, repeat a few times and there will be no problem.
Of course, if it's not for drinking, there's no need to be so complicated. ”
Xuan Jie said with a humble eye:
"Even if you can drink it, it's hard to get past that hurdle in your heart! I'll collect some more mineral water later. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Even if we have water to drink, we have to take a bath!"
Xuan's father didn't react, men, as long as the body is not dirty, it's not so strict.
Several girls looked at each other a few times, thinking that this is the truth, let's not talk about the water to drink, but the bath water must be sufficient.
As for the final work, it was the employees who carried it all.
Supermarket owner: ???
I'm not your employee!
Regarding the objection raised by the supermarket owner, Ye Xuan nodded again and again.
"Well, that's right, since you're now my employee, it's not appropriate for me to call you boss. By the way, what's your name? Forget it, let's sign an employee contract and know what your name is? ”
Ye Xuan casually took out a few pieces of blank paper, wrote on them, and handed them to the five employees.
It's very concise, just three lines in total.
The first line is the four big words of the employee contract, which succinctly and clearly point out what it is.
The second line is: everything is under the command of the boss, and all the right to explain is explained by the boss.
The third line is the signature of the boss and the signatures of the employees, Ye Xuan has already signed, just waiting for the remaining few people to sign.
Missing Teeth: ......
From the heart: ......
Zhang Jijiu: ......
Zhang Jishi: ......
Zhang Chao (former supermarket owner): ......
I wasn't as ruthless as you when I was the boss!
Ye Xuan looked at the reluctant looks of several people and said lightly.
"It's a wilderness now! I don't mean the slightest threat in this sentence! ”
A few people suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, as if an old woman was holding a bowl of soup to be handed to them.
The first to sign was Congxin, and under his leadership, several other people also signed their names one after another.
It's okay, it's just a note! ×5
After carrying the water with the employees again, Ye Xuan put them outside the courtyard and gave them a new task - to repair the wall.
Or rather, to add a new line of defense, to build a stronger wall around the entire house with the building materials collected earlier and the building materials kindly donated by the brothers.
Ye Xuan walked around with the five of them and drew a few lines on the ground.
"Okay, that's it, you need to build the line into a fence next, come on."
One of the employees came up with the highlights.
"Wait, will we build such a big wall? This has to be repaired to the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month! ”
Ye Xuan's eyes flickered as he looked at him, knowing that he had some other thoughts.
"Well, tell me, what do you think?"
When several people heard that this matter was negotiable, they immediately spoke out to discuss it.
Xuanjie also expressed their opinions.
"Indeed, if they were to build the wall here all day, they wouldn't have time for anything else."
The man who reminded him before said:
"It's better for us to find a few excavators than to dig with our bare hands."
Ye Xuan cooperated and asked:
"And what about the excavators there?"
张基玖 says:
"We don't have it in our village, but we have it in Qingshui Town, let's take some time to find something over there, it's faster than digging with our bare hands, and the quality is better."
Not only the employees, but even Xuanjie nodded their heads.
"That makes sense!"
Zhang Jijiu looked at them and nodded, and was silently happy in his heart, with this method, he didn't have to work so hard.
The most important thing is that if Ye Xuan rushes to Qingshui Town, then it is very likely that he will not be able to come back to participate in the village head election.
More likely, the zombies in Qingshui Town may not all disappear, and whether they can come back is another matter.
Even if he comes back by luck, it will be a boat, and when the time comes, under the joint decision of everyone, the excavator and the like he brought back will also belong to the village. Under the will of the collective, the strength of the individual is useless, and he cannot be allowed to refuse when the time comes.
Zhang Jijiu was silently thinking in his heart, thinking about how to persuade him not to take him with him.
Just as he was pondering, Ye Xuan looked at him and smiled slightly.
"You kid has a lot of ideas!"
Zhang Jijiu came back to his senses, blinked, and politely said a few times.
"No, no, it's far less than you, the boss!"
"Nonsense, of course you're not as good as me!"
Zhang Jijiu: ......
Ye Xuan looked at the other party's expression like eating, and there was a burst of joy in his heart, he always felt that this guy had a little problem.
After thinking about it, he decided to give it a try.
"But you're not bad, so you'll be responsible for giving me ideas in the future."
His eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.
Ye Xuan continued:
"As for the excavator, let's wait until I run for village chief! When the time comes, bring the whole village with you to move things. ”
"Well, in that case, I have to be the village chief, so I'm going to discuss with the villagers who is more suitable to be the village chief?"
"I may not be able to convince them by prestige, otherwise I would have relied on force!"
"What do you think?"
Zhang Jijiu hurriedly shook his head and gave Ye Xuan a new attention.
"Relying on force, they may not be convinced, even if they say it, they may change their minds temporarily, and it is better to buy people's hearts.
I know where several people live, and when the time comes, we will come with a lot of food, and if we give enough benefits, they will definitely agree. ”
Ye Xuan nodded, fortunately he didn't want to work in the direction of the village chief, otherwise according to his plan, he would basically lose even his underwear.
This guy is just messing around with ideas, what the hell is the idea?
looked at Ye Xuan and nodded again and again, just when the other party thought it was okay.
"I remember that you had a good relationship with the village chief."
Everyone glanced at Zhang Chao (the former supermarket owner) who said this, and then looked at Zhang Jijiu.
Zhang Jijiu was shocked and annoyed, what is going on with this guy? Don't you see that people are treating us like coolies? If you don't help deceive people, it doesn't matter, but you still expose me.
The relationship between Zhang Jijiu and the village chief is not a secret relationship in the village, and everyone who should know knows it.
However, excluding Ye Xuan, the former otaku, as for those people from other villages, there is no way to know.
And the five employees, as the squeezed party, should not be reminded.
The corners of Ye Xuan's mouth were slightly upturned, and after breaking this layer of paper, it was clear in an instant.
Zhang Jijiu's body trembled slightly, he thought of his cousin lying on the bed, moaning constantly, his leg was fixed by the plank, and he heard that it was a fracture.
He suddenly became frightened, afraid that he would end up in the same fate, even worse.
"Are you helping the village chief keep an eye on me? Afraid that I will threaten the villagers with force to vote for me?
Rest assured! My shovel is for zombies. ”
Suddenly, a big hand patted him on the shoulder, and he instantly held his breath, not daring to make unnecessary moves, and even the trembling of his body stopped.
"As for you, don't worry, I won't do anything to you, just work hard, it's good for everyone to do a good job."
After hearing this, Zhang Jijiu collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
Ha! Survived?
Ye Xuan watched him collapse on the ground and gasp for breath.
"It's strange, do I still have such a murderous momentum now? Look at the kid scared. Although the two were about the same age, Ye Xuan habitually regarded him as a child.
He then rubbed his face again.
"How is that possible? I'm so amiable now. ”
Wang jing:......
Everyone heard his muttering, and Wang Jing kindly persuaded him:
"Give it up! You don't fit the adjective amiable. ”
Xing Yishan nodded again and again, expressing agreement.
Xuan Jie looked at his face, but felt quite kind.
"I feel okay, look at it and listen to it."
Ye Xuan smiled softly at her, and Xuan Jie also smiled back with a gentle smile.
Xuanfu: ......
I'm so angry, I want to throw a fireball! I'm still here!
Sure that he was still amiable, Ye Xuan turned his head to look at his five employees.
In front of everyone, he handed two things to Zhang Chao.
"You're in charge of overseeing them! If they don't work hard, record it, don't worry, with me covering you, they won't dare to do anything to you. ”
Then he said to the others:
"I hope you don't be lazy, this is not just a wall, but also our lifeline, work hard, you will have a better chance of surviving in the future."
"Also, as long as you work hard, I won't treat you badly."
……
At night, the missing front teeth looked at their own food, which contained only a few splinters of meat.
And he also went over to see other people's dinners, at least they all had a large piece of meat, and Zhang Chao had two large pieces.
Ye Xuan also added a sentence when he handed him the boxed lunch. "If you lose your teeth, eat less meat, eat more mushrooms, and if it's not enough, you'll come back later."
After tasting the mushrooms, the taste was quite good, but unfortunately he was not in the mood to experience it carefully now.
One, two, three......
He counted the three slices of meat in the mushroom stir-fried meat, and when he looked up at the sky, it was already pitch black.
The missing front teeth began to think, could it be hinting at something?
Combined with the events of the morning, he gradually had some clues.
After absent-mindedly solving the food and leaving with a few people, he quietly returned to Ye Xuan's house.
The reason why he returned quietly was because he still had a face.
Duh~Dumm~Duh~
Look at the doors that are gradually opening.
He gritted his teeth......
He was ruthless, comforting himself that he should be bitten by a dog, and then ......
Besides, the other party is quite handsome, and he has been single for so many years, so there is no need to die so badly.
Ye Xuan looked at the missing front teeth standing outside the door, with a subtle smile on his face.
Sample, you can't escape from my palm!
Looking at the handsome guy with a faint smile on his face, he suddenly became shy.
"I'm coming......"
Ye Xuan looked at the missing front teeth with a blushing face, his face turned dark, although the other party was hinted, but he had no way of knowing what the other party was making up in his brain?
It doesn't seem like a good thing now!
Go pick up mushrooms for me! Bastard!
…………
Late at night, when the missing front teeth are trying to pick up mushrooms.
Uncle Shui's house welcomed a guest.
"Ah Shui, I want to talk to you."
Brother Shui looked at the village chief standing outside the door and hurriedly let him into the house.
The two sat across from each other, and the air seemed to freeze.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang out.
"You know why I'm here, give me a word!"
Uncle Shui looked at the village chief with a little hoarfrost in his hair, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
When they first met, their hair was still black and shiny, but now the other party's hair has turned white, and he has also brought a wig.
"Do you know why zombies disappear?"
"Dashan, listen to my advice, don't fight with that young man."
The village chief paused for a long time, seriously thinking about what Uncle Shui had just said.
"If I continued, who would you choose to help?"
Now it was Uncle Shui's turn to pause, of course, he didn't pause as long as the village chief, although this matter was quite tangled for him.
One side is the future, and the other side is the past.
"If you want to continue, I'll choose neutrality."
"That's good, that's good."
Uncle Shui watched the village chief stand up and prepare to leave, and finally reminded him.
"Dashan, don't fight him, if you want to compare, let's kill zombies!"
The village chief nodded, and then seemed to remember something unfinished.
He stood still, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
"Ah Shui...... I want to ask you, do you remember the time we drank together three years ago? ”
"Well, what's wrong?"
"What the hell happened after that drink!"
"Do you remember?"
“…… Well, I have some impressions, and I want to come to you to confirm whether this is true or not. ”
"A little impressed? All right! Then I'll tell you! We were all drunk at the time. ”
"Hmmm......"
"When I was sending you home, you suddenly had a bold idea."
"Hmm...... Well? Is it me? ”
"It's you! You said that you usually do handstands very well, and you don't have a shake in your hands for three hours a day, even if you drive a fast electric car, it's easy.
I didn't believe it at the time, you have to put on a show for me, I was driving! It didn't stop you, but you did.
You just stood up in the back seat, and your bold performance attracted everyone's attention, and you were incomparably majestic and dazzling at that time.
The man looked at it with envy, the woman looked at it with tears, and under the gaze of everyone, you couldn't help but scream.
The gaze of the crowd makes you feel incredibly stimulated, and you feel like you like it.
It's a pity that you drank too much at the time, and the electric car swayed, you immediately threw up and fell off the electric car.
Luckily, it was slow and you just fell. ”
"Huh? Well? Well? ”
After listening to Uncle Shui's description, the village chief suddenly had a corresponding picture in his mind, and there seemed to be such a thing at that time.
“…… Ahaha, I remembered, it's not early, I'll go back first, no need to send, no need to send. ”
In fact, Uncle Shui didn't tell the truth, he was the one who played handstand at that time, and the village chief was so hurt by him that he fell a fart, and he rested for three days before he got better.
And Uncle Shui ...... Lay in bed for three months.
