With excessive blood loss and exposure to the wind and sun, after only half a day's work, Qian Laosan's lips were chapped and dying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Ao looked at his appearance and couldn't help but feel compassion. At first, he really wanted to get rid of this guy who had been making trouble for him, but he was still a little unbearable to see the tragic situation of Qian Laosan. After all, Qian Laosan is also a victim, and in the final analysis, his behavior is just to survive in this difficult environment.

Chen Ao sighed, took a bowl of water, walked up to Qian Laosan, and put the bowl to Qian Laosan's lips. Qian Laosan tasted the water with his lips, and immediately drank it in a big gulp, and drank all the bowl of water before feeling a little satisfied.

When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that it was Chen Ao who was delivering water. His eyes were complicated, with hatred and doubt, and a hint of gratitude. Chen Ao didn't expect him to thank him, put down the bowl, and continued to work in the salt pans.

In the afternoon, Ma Zongkui left for a long time. Chen Ao guessed that he must have gone somewhere else to discuss countermeasures with his colleagues. It wasn't until dusk that Ma Zongkui returned with a black face.

The bonfire has already been lit, but there is no money for the third child to catch fish, so he can only boil a little wild vegetable soup. Everyone knew that Ma Zongkui was angry, so they didn't dare to speak loudly, and lowered their heads to drink the soup silently.

Ma Zongkui passed by Qian Laosan and turned a blind eye to Qian Laosan. Perhaps in his eyes, Qian Laosan is already a dead man.

He walked over to the middle of the crowd and looked around to make sure everyone was there. Chen Ao knew that he had to speak, maybe it was the countermeasure he came up with this afternoon.

Ma Zongkui's voice was a little hoarse, and he said: "Listen, everyone, we have a big incident today, and everyone must know it." The fruits of our hard work in the past month have all been ruined by Qian Laosan's gang! If this matter is known by a few hall masters, or even the head of the bear family, we will all have to walk around without eating!"

Chen Ao thought to himself, hum, this achievement is our hard work, and in the end, it is you who can't eat and walk around!

Ma Zongkui was frightened and continued: "After a day of consideration, I finally came up with a seamless idea, which should be able to survive this crisis. I've already discussed with the manager next to me, as long as we pay according to the market price, they can sell us some salt to help us tide over the crisis. So, let's get all your money out tonight!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone with unquestioning eyes. Everyone was stunned at first, thinking that Ma Zongkui could really think of a good way, but who knew that they were actually asked to pay for salt. For a while, everyone whispered, and naturally they were reluctant to pay this money.

Most of the people come here to earn money to feed their wives and children, and if they hand over the wages they have saved, their families will starve to death. And black workers like Chen Ao who were arrested have no savings.

Chen Ao sneered and thought to himself, this Ma Zongkui is really a good idea! Not to mention whether this method is feasible or not, even if he really wants to buy salt, is it still necessary to follow the market price in this salt factory? This is clearly an attempt to exploit again!

Everyone talked for a while, and their eyes unconsciously looked at Chen Ao. Now Chen Ao has faintly become the head of everyone, and everyone is the only one who looks to him. What's more, the idea of rectifying Qian Laosan this time was Chen Ao. In the end, he lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and Chen Ao should bear it.

Chen Ao glanced at everyone and motioned to everyone not to say more. He got up and said, "Manager Ma, don't worry, we will do as you say." Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, so naturally we have to help each other in the same boat!"

Ma Zongkui nodded, his face looked a little better, and said, "Well, it's good that everyone can have this awareness." Let's go to bed early, we have to get up early tomorrow! In the next month, we will make more efforts to double the output and make up for this loss!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was in an uproar. The previous payment has already caused public outrage. Now Ma Zongkui wants everyone to work overtime, won't it make people live?

Peng Shugen stood up and said, "Steward Ma, can this matter be discussed? It is a cold winter, and the sun is not big, so if you want to increase the output, you can only use a large pot to cook." But in this way, I am afraid that I will have to work non-stop every night, and it will be unbearable to go on like this!"

Chen Ao saw that Ma Zongkui's face had changed, and his heart jumped, and he glanced at Peng Shugen, hoping that he would not speak. However, Peng Shugen ignored it. He felt that he was the oldest worker, and he should speak for everyone and explain these situations clearly to Ma Zongkui.

However, Ma Zongkui clearly did not want to hear this. He snorted coldly and said, "If you can't do it, you have to do it!" If you want to blame, blame Qian Laosan for dereliction of duty. You're all co-workers who eat and live together, and of course you have to share the responsibility, which is called joint sitting, you know?"

Peng Shugen said hurriedly: "But...... If we continue like this, we are fighting for our lives!"

Ma Zongkui was very impatient, raised his hand suddenly, slapped Peng Shugen with a "snap", and scolded: "Old thing, Lao Tzu gives you a few colors, and you want to open a dyeing workshop! In Lao Tzu's eyes, you are just animals, Lao Tzu tells you to do it, you have to do it! Fuck ......"

He cursed, turned and left, leaving behind a group of coolies who looked at each other and dared not speak out.

Chen Ao sighed, his chest suffocating. He knew that at this time, everyone must have a fire in their hearts. He helped Peng Shugen up, looked at the old man with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice: "There is no hope anymore, it's time to fight!"

Over the past few days, Chen Ao has subtly guided these people and rekindled their yearning for freedom. Hearing Chen Ao's words, Peng Shugen trembled, mustered up all his courage, and whispered, "I'll listen to you!"

Chen Ao glanced at everyone and saw the flames dancing in everyone's eyes. He knew the time had finally come!

Chen Ao waved his hand, and everyone quietly returned to the shack. He was alone, but he walked towards Qian Laosan. There were still two cold and hard steamed buns hidden in his chest, Chen Ao brought a bowl of hot soup, soaked the steamed buns in the soup little by little, and fed them to Qian Laosan.

Qian Laosan was extremely hungry, and no matter who fed him, he devoured it all the time. Chen Ao sighed and said, "Qian Laosan, we have no grievances and no hatred, why do we have to fight to the death? You also heard what happened just now." Ma Zongkui, and the hell gate behind him, didn't treat us as human beings at all. Is such a person worthy of your allegiance? What will you get in exchange for your allegiance to the end?"

Qian Laosan was silent. Although he is simple, he is not stupid, and naturally knows good and evil. In the past, he was willing to be Ma Zongkui's lackey, just to be able to survive. But now it seems that no matter what you do, a dog is just a dog after all, and when the owner wants to abandon you, you have no chance to resist!
