Chapter 284

Two foreigners standing on the roadside were holding a dry steamed bun like a brick in their hands, opening their cracked lips and biting, with sadness and depression in their eyes.

"Take a sip of water. If you eat slowly, you will choke," a military kettle was handed to the male foreigner.

It was a thin man. At this moment, he looked very tall. The man's pretty face was full of smiles. The next moment, the male foreigner was alert: "who are you and why do you want to help us?"

The man pointed to a low house not far away and said, "my name is Li Fan. I'm here to recruit workers. Just now I heard you say that one of you is studying botany and the other is studying geophysics. Is it true?"

The male foreigner looked at Li Fan warily, "what is it, what is it?"

Li Fan patted the dust that didn't exist on his hands and looked at the two people: "if what you said is true, I'm willing to hire you. If not, treat me as if I didn't say anything.".

A little surprise flashed in the male foreigner's eyes, as if he was afraid that Li Fan was cheating himself. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded and said, "it's true. We have documents to prove it, and you can verify us at any time.".

"This is natural". Li Fan is not worried that the two people will deceive themselves. This is looking for death. Moreover, in Li Fan's opinion, foreigners who can come to country Z have some skills and are not raising disabled people. "Come with me. What's your name, where you come from and where you're going".

The male foreigner's nose twitched for a moment, and his heartache surged out for many days. His voice trembled and said, "call me David. Her name is edita. We escaped from Qi city. We're going to the south to find the army or the government to see if we can send us back to China..." David was talking. He found that there were beads of sweat on edita's forehead, his hands holding his stomach, and his face was pale.

"Are you going to have a baby?"

Li Fan's eyes beat a few times, his face became colorful, clenched his teeth and said, "I'll take you to hacheng hospital, get in the car!" Li Fan really doesn't know whether he should be depressed or upset. Isn't he looking for something for himself? I can't die. I didn't look at the Yellow calendar when I went out today.

The local people at the recruitment station did not pay too much attention to this kind of thing. The people passing by here every day, ranging from more than ten days to more than 100 people, all fled from the north. Strong people soon found a job here. Those with poor conditions continued to go to Harbin to try their luck. Some people couldn't walk any more as soon as they came here. They supported themselves completely with one breath. As a result, they fell ill as soon as they arrived. There are also many such things.

The recruitment station here is like a roadside village without any vitality. It has its inherent law and runs in a fixed direction. Day after day, people come and go, performing all kinds of human tragedies and comedies.

There is a mixture of good and bad people here. Swindlers, robbers, thieves, hooligans and female prostitutes fill the whole street. News from all directions also gather here and spread out. This is the starting point and the end point. Many people rely on this place to survive. They appear here full of hope and property. Many people leave here and never come back.

One evening, a man and a horse appeared at the intersection. The elongated figure at dusk looked tired and weak, as if it was still in the painting.

The little girl of a restaurant at the intersection sat on the railing, shaking her dark legs, two pigtails hanging on her chest, and her big eyes looked at the clouds in the sky. I don't know if she was imagining something.

"Little girl, serve the guests quickly!" a man's hoarse voice sounded behind the counter, interrupting the little girl's fantasy.

"Coming!" the little girl jumped down from the railing with two pigtails, ran barefoot into the kitchen, took out two pots of vegetables from inside and put them in front of a pair of mother and son. "Here are the shredded potatoes and small vegetables you want.".

"Ma, where's my lamb? Why hasn't it come up yet?" roared four strong men sitting around a table, patting the weak table with their hands.

"I'm sorry, I'll be there soon," the restaurant owner smiled with a crutch.

Generally, there are few troubles here. Firstly, there are troops recruiting here, and secondly, there are a mixture of fish and Dragons here. I don't know when a dragon crossing the river will appear. Rashly, no one will start easily, but it's difficult to leave here.

"Mom, why don't we eat lamb?" the ignorant boy looked at the lamb brought to the side and kept a mouth.

"The lamb here is not delicious. We eat vegetables and go back to mom to cook it for you!" the boy nodded naively.

The little girl winked at the boy and looked at the intersection with a "ha ha" laughter. If there were no more guests, today's business would be over. Few people rush to the night road in the end of the world. The night is a terrible existence. As soon as the sun sets, no one can see in the street.

"Boss! Five catties of beef, two vegetables and one catty of wine, come on!" a jeep stopped at the door of the shop and jumped out of the car. One man was carrying a knife, the other an iron bar and two pistols. It seemed that he was coming from the direction of hacheng. I didn't know where he was going.

"A white crystal, or 20 yuan for a roll", paying for dinner first has become an iron fist rule in eschatological hotels.

A man just wanted to get angry. He was stopped by another man. He looked coldly, threw two 10 yuan exchange rolls on the counter, found a seemingly clean table, sat down and whispered, "don't break the business of the second guild leader. It's important to hurry.".

The purchase change volume in hacheng is equivalent to the gold in the civilized period. In hacheng, five catties of beef are only 10 yuan, one catty of wine is 5 yuan, and the boss's opening is 20 yuan, which is obviously much more expensive. But some things can not be calculated in this way. It is a good income for ordinary people to earn 50 yuan a month, and their work is extremely unstable. It is common to have a full meal and a hungry meal. But these two people are obviously not ordinary people. It is common for a controller to earn 500 or 1000 yuan a month. It is not difficult to spend 20 yuan on meat that ordinary people can't eat in a month.

Four men sitting in the corner looked up at the two men sitting in the other corner. Their eyes stirred in the air and immediately lowered their heads. It seemed that nothing had happened.

The four men did not make a sound, but only communicated with their eyes. They were also controllers. What they whispered could be heard by the other party. Their eyes became the best and most hidden way of communication.

"Eat quickly. You must arrive before dark..."

"What's the hurry? There are four controllers and twenty or thirty helpers in the second guild leader. I'm afraid I can't deal with it."

"Don't be careless these days. The boss always does things steadily. Naturally, he has his reason. Don't ask more. We'll leave after eating."
