Chapter Twenty-Six: Holding Wages in the Rain

Ma Yong paused, frowned, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I know where there is dry firewood, but I want you to protect my children here." ”

When Chu Zheng heard this, he paused, "Can you bring the wood alone?" ”

Ma Yong shook his head, looked at Yu Rong on the side and said, "My wife will go with me." ”

"I'll go too." At this time, Chu Qingqing spoke.

Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something.

"Zheng'er, I think I can help too." Chu Qingqing looked at Chu Zheng and said softly.

When Chu Zheng heard this, his expression paused.

If Chu Qingqing goes, it will indeed be better, and one more person will give him one more chance to survive.

As for him, he must not be able to go, because he is gone, and there is a good chance that those homeless people will come and grab things.

"Okay." Chu Zheng nodded, and then said, "You guys wait a minute." ”

After saying that, he walked into the house that the middle-aged man had entered before.

Then, under the dull gaze of the homeless people in the house, Chu Zheng found a set of robes from the corner of the room.

This robe was naturally left by the middle-aged man.

"That'...... That's ours! Someone shuddered.

"Do!"

Chu Zheng stabbed the iron piece out of the pillar of the shed with his backhand and pierced the pillar in half.

In an instant, sawdust flew everywhere.

The person who had just spoken immediately closed his mouth, and his face was slightly pale.

Chu Zheng glanced at him lightly, glanced around, pulled out the iron piece, and walked out.

As he walked out, the people in the room immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This was an extremely thick set of robes, and Chu Zheng cut them from the middle with iron bars to make three very small and very thin robes.

"To you." Chu Zheng handed it to the three of them.

When Ma Yong and his wife saw this scene, their hearts warmed.

If this cloak was only given to Chu Qingqing, they would have no way to say anything. After all, this thing was brought by the other party.

They didn't expect that they also had a share in this robe, and they were more grateful to Chu Zheng in their hearts.

And Chu Zheng naturally thought of this, but he didn't want the group he had just formed to deviate from morality just because of a coat.

In these two days, only the two families can work together to spend it well.

"Eat this one on the way, don't be hungry." Chu Zheng took some jerky from the shed and put it in the package, walked out and handed it to Ma Yong and his wife.

When Ma Yong and his wife saw the meat, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and then they showed hesitation.

"Take it, help take care of my brother on the way." Chu Zheng smiled at the two and said.

"Good, little thing." Ma Yong and his wife took the package and nodded towards Chu Zheng.

The three of them then walked towards the rain, and soon disappeared into the rain.

The three of Mayon came back much faster than expected.

At midnight, they returned with a load of firewood.

These firewoods are different from the firewood that Chu Zheng picked up before, but the surface is slightly wet, and the inside is dry.

"There is a stream five miles from here, and there are many boulders in the stream. There was wood washed down from the torrent underneath the boulder. The firewood, because it was under the boulder, was not wet by the rain. Ma Yong explained to Chu Zheng.

When Chu Zheng heard him say this, he suddenly realized.

He had thought that Ma Yong knew which cave had wood in it.

"When we went out just now, I probably knew what you meant." Ma Yong looked outside, roasting the fire, with a look of happiness on his face, "In this weather, if there is no firewood, we are afraid that we will be frozen to death." ”

Chu Zheng was silent.

"It's hot...... It's hot......" At this moment, a shout came from the shed next to it, and then someone rushed into the rain, rolling in the muddy water, constantly taking off their clothes.

This is a typical failure of the body's regulatory mechanism, in which the originally constricted blood vessels re-dilate, and warmer blood re-enters the blood vessels on the body's surface, stimulating thermoreceptors, which can make people feel warm, or hot.

This kind of thing, Chu Zheng had only heard of in his previous life, and this was the first time he had seen it.

And, it's still such a terrifying scene.

When Chu Zheng looked outside the house, he saw that the man was no longer moving, and his body was stiff.

"Should I save someone?" Chu Zheng looked at the dead people outside, and felt a torment in his heart.

But soon, he put the torment down.

It's not his fault, it's the fault of this era.

He was able to take care of his sister, and he had already experienced nine deaths.

And how can we help more people?

"With the jade people, since you know that many people will die, what about the officials of Qamdo Prefecture? Will you not know? Chu Zheng pursed his lips.

How could these people not know?

Or maybe it's deliberately indulgent.

When the people are almost dead, they will open the city gates again to save money and trouble, so why not?

As for human life?

For some, it's just a string of numbers.

Thinking of this, Chu Zheng also felt a little cold.

But he was cold in the heart.

Time passed quickly, and it didn't take long for only a few of the entire shed area to have fire.

In many of these sheds, wood from other sheds is burned.

During this period, there was not no bloodshed.

There were even some people who wanted to attack Chu Zheng's shed, but after Chu Zheng killed a few people to establish power, no one dared to do so.

"It's dawn."

Chu Zheng looked outside, and it was already wet outside, and there were puddles everywhere.

"We'll need to get some more firewood." Chu Zheng put the firewood into the fire and said slowly.

Yesterday's firewood, after a night of burning, is now not much left.

"Are you going to go there again?" Ma Yong hesitated.

The place where the firewood is taken is not far from here, but it is not close.

With such thin clothes now, there is a high probability that he will be at risk of getting sick.

"No, you don't." Chu Zheng shook his head, "A lot of people froze to death last night, we demolished some of these sheds, and we should be able to spend a day or two." ”

When Ma Yong heard this, he suddenly realized, "Yes, I almost forgot." ”

Seeing Ma Yong's happy expression, Chu Zheng suddenly found that he seemed to care more about other people than the people in this world.

Perhaps, like Ma Yong, who only cares about his own family, is the most correct way to live.

Subsequently, Chu Zheng and others began to dismantle the shed.

Seeing this, the other homeless people here also followed suit and dismantled it.

On the way, Chu Zheng also pulled out a few pieces of dead people's clothes.

After he crossed over, he even killed people, so naturally he didn't shy away from anything.

"Qamdo Disaster Relief!!" Suddenly, someone shouted.

With this person's words, many people ran frantically in the direction of Qamdo, for fear of slowing down by half a minute.

"Brother Chu, will we go too?" Ma Yong looked at Chu Zheng with a look of intent on his face.

"Go ahead, my brother and I won't go." Chu Zheng shook his head.

He still has a lot of jerky, and he doesn't want to join in the fun.

Especially, here now, someone has to watch the firewood, otherwise when someone steals the firewood, they will all die that night.

After all, Qamdo is only for disaster relief, not for opening the city gates.

When Ma Yong heard him say this, he nodded, and took his family of four to go to Qamdo Mansion.

Chu Zheng looked at their backs and fell into deep thought.

After yesterday's words, he felt that this disaster relief must have some meaning.

Or are you counting the number of people?
