Chapter 118

Outside the outpost, there was heavy snow.

At the south gate, Yu Hu, dressed in fur, came from the direction of Bette street under the heavy snow.

After arriving at the outpost, Yu Hu wanted to find Chu Guang, but he couldn't find it, but he just saw the long line in front of the sanatorium.

A little closer, he saw his sister sitting at a small wooden table.

The young face is meticulous.

She held out her little hand, took the silver coins from the blue coats in line, carefully counted them repeatedly, and then poked them on a screen.

"A total of 41!"

Looking up, she looked at the players in front of the counter and showed a sweet smile on her face.

"Crab! You should pay attention to safety when taking risks."

"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

Si Si, standing behind, stroked his forehead with a headache on his face and stretched out his hand to pull the sleeve of his tail.

"Well, well, Ah Wei, don't lose face here. We'll block the people behind us."

"Don't you think it's cute! You loveless woman!"

"Cute, cute, gee, the team at the greenhouse site will start in a while. Are you going or not?"

"Go! Damn, why do you have to work during the day and at night? What about the good leisure games? Can't you let me stay with lovely things for a while!"

"I'm sorry I'm not cute enough. In short, don't talk nonsense. It's important to earn money from leveling and buy equipment. Let's go. If we don't go again, the old man behind us will hit people."

The tail that was still shouting was pulled away.

At this time, a big white bear came out from behind and stood stealthily in front of the counter, holding the door frame with some restrained hands.

Seeing the big bear, the little fish was slightly stunned, but he was not afraid. A sweet smile soon appeared on his face.

"Do you want to save money?"

MaoGai couldn't see her blush. Roushan Dabo fumbled out of the money bag and poured the coins on the table.

"I'll give it all to you!"

Looking at the big white bear who dropped the money and left, the little fish said quickly.

"Ah, wait, wait, that, ID."

"Here you are!"

Finally, thanks to Xiaoqi's help, Xiaoyu found the ID of the big white bear.

After carefully counting the coins on the table, Xiaoyu registered the numbers on the VM according to what Chu Guang taught him to do.

Although Yu Hu couldn't understand or understand what the blue coats were saying, it didn't seem to be embarrassing his sister.

When the big white bear ran out, he instinctively startled him. If he didn't see that the people around him didn't respond, he almost pulled out his bow and arrow and shot.

At this time, Chu Guang came over from one side, looked at Yu Hu and said with a smile.

"Don't you go and say hello?"

"No, I just look around and don't bother her work," Yu Hu smiled foolishly and touched the back of his head. "I didn't expect Xiaoyu to be so capable. I was always worried last night that she would cause you trouble."

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"How could it be? Your sister is very smart and learns very fast, but no one teaches her a lot of things."

Yu Hu sighed and said.

"Dad, I have my brother. I usually have to go hunting, but I can't teach her anything. My mother taught her how to bake cakes, but she hasn't done very well. Last night, I was worried about whether she would screw up. I came here early in the morning. On the way, I thought that if she really made trouble, I would take her back. But now look... Let the little fish follow me It's really much better to watch you than to follow us. "

"You can't say that," Chu Guang shook his head. "You still often come to see her. No matter how warm the quilt is, you can't stay with your family."

Warm quilt?

Is it going so fast?

Yu Hu was stunned and nodded.

"You're right... I'll go first."

Chu Guang said politely.

"In such a hurry to go back? Stay for lunch before you leave."

"No, no," said Xu Hu shaking his head and waving his hand, "I won't bother here. I'll go hunting later. You're busy first, and I'll go back."

Chu Guang stopped asking him to stay and nodded.

"Be careful on the road."

……

When he came out of the north gate, Yu Hu was in a good mood. Although there was snow in the sky, he felt warm and more comfortable than drinking wine.

But just then he saw a caravan full of bricks and a man standing next to it.

The man looks familiar.

Yu Hu approached and took a look. His eyes suddenly widened.

"Zhao mouse?!"

"Yu Hu?!"

"Wait, aren't you dead? I think your family has done all the funerals."

Yu Hu still can't speak as usual, but Zhao mouse doesn't care about these at the moment. It's really tearful when he meets a fellow countryman in another country.

"Brother, I almost died! Fortunately, these blue coats saved me!"

It took about five minutes for Zhao Shu and Yu Hu to talk about their experiences in the past more than a month, from being caught by predators when hunting, to later, the group of blue coats broke through the stronghold of the bloody hand clan and settled themselves in a brick factory by the river.

Although I instinctively thought it was a little strange to be caught by the predator, Yu Hu's head didn't understand the complex things, and soon paid attention to other places.

"... in other words, are you working for brother Chu now?"

Zhao shuleng said.

"Elder brother Chu? Do you mean the manager? It's quite comfortable to work here. There's meat everywhere, firewood and charcoal for heating. Now I pay 1 silver coin every day. The work I do every day is to make bricks with molds, then send them to the kiln for burning, and then transport the burned bricks back. I'm not tired."

Yu Hu nodded and asked.

"Won't you go back in the future?"

A complicated expression appeared on Zhao rat's face.

"Go back... Where are you going? There are only my parents, my eldest brother and their two children left at home. The rest of the food is barely enough for the winter. If I go back now, the food at home will certainly be insufficient. Wait until the spring of next year, and then... Wait until then."

As he spoke, Zhao mouse suddenly remembered something, threw down a sentence "you wait for me", and then turned and ran into the gate.

After a while, he took a small bag of coarse salt, about three or four Liang, and stuffed it into Yu Hu's hand.

"I paid for it. Take it back to my mother for me. Just say... I'm fine, so they don't have to worry! I'll see them next spring! And Yang Ergou, he's still alive... But now he's busy. Do you want to talk to his family?"

After receiving the salt, Yu Hu nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, I will convey it for you!"

Yu Hu returned by the same route.

However, when passing the South Gate of the Wetland Park, Yu Hu suddenly noticed that there was a string of footprints not belonging to him not far from his footprints.

That footprint is very shallow. It's been looking for some time.

Out of the hunter's vigilance, Yu Hu squatted down, wiped his index finger on it, and his eyebrows wrinkled faintly.

Whose footprints are these?

……

Bette street.

Hurried into the door, Wang Biao went straight to old Charlie's grocery store.

"Old housekeeper!"

Sitting in front of the door, Charlie opened half his eyes. When he saw that it was Wang Biao, he immediately understood and stood up from his chair.

"Come in and say."

The curtain was pulled up.

Wang Biao was excited and breathless. He danced and reported what he had seen and heard following Yu Hu all the way to the old housekeeper.

Charlie's brows began to wrinkle as he listened.

"You mean... There is a survivor settlement in Linghu wetland park?"

Wang Biao nodded fiercely.

"Yes! There are blue coats and refugees who don't know where they come from... I think they should come from the north. They built walls in the forest, dug ditches and put roadblocks. I can't see in the camp, but there is a chimney with smoke all the time."

"From the north?"

Charlie's eyebrows frowned tighter.

The north is the territory of the bloody hand clan. There seems to be a mutant tribe nearby.

What's the difference between building settlements there and sending heads?

And

Those Marauders are guys who eat people and don't spit bones. How could they be let in.

Wang Biao didn't care so much. He just shouted excitedly.

"Old housekeeper, the little boy of the Yu family broke the rules. Let's catch him quickly!"

He has long been unhappy with the Yu family.

Especially Yu Hu beat his third brother. There is also the foreigner's shed. They didn't even leave a door beam for them. They all took it as their own. It's shameful to say what was given to him by others.

Wang Biao's abacus is very loud. According to the rules of Beite street, those who privately trade with foreign caravans will be regarded as betrayal, ranging from a piece of animal skin to confiscation of property and expulsion.

It doesn't matter whether those people are a caravan or not. He cares about the shed where Yu Hu lives. If he could be expelled, his family would just be able to take over the stranger's shed.

However, old Charlie is a man of insight. Naturally, he can't be as short-sighted as him.

Blue coat

He used to be, too, although it was a long time ago.

After thinking for a long time, Charlie said cautiously.

"It's not urgent. Remember not to scare the snake. I'll report the situation to the mayor before making a decision."

Wang Biao was stunned.

What else can I ask for?

Just copy the house and you're done.

As long as the mayor gives an order, the Wang family will be the first to respond.

However, the old housekeeper didn't talk much nonsense with him.

Throwing four white chips in his hand, old Charlie drove him out of the grocery store, locked the door again, and hurried towards the middle of the town.

……

The mayor's family lives in the castle in the middle of Bette street.

Originally built as an entertainment facility, the castle has now become a symbol of the tip of the pyramid.

The ruler of the town lived in the castle, while the servants, guards and lineages lived in brick and wooden houses near the castle, and then there were dilapidated shacks outside.

After a simple body search, old Charlie was allowed to enter.

When he stepped into the hall on the first floor, he happened to see two lovely children playing football in the hall on the first floor of the castle.

Their clothes are made of deer skin, and so are the balls they are playing. The children outside don't have that clean face and carefree smile.

Noticing Charlie at the door, the slightly older boy shook his brown curly hair and picked up the ball on the ground.

"Charlie? You're back? Do you want to play football together?"

"Sorry, dear young master, I'm afraid I can't play with you... I'm looking for your father."

The boy's face was filled with disappointment and said impatiently.

"Go, he's in the study."

Charlie bowed his head respectfully.

He bypassed the children's playground. Led by a servant, he came to the elevator room and took the elevator to the top floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, warm air came to my face.

In the fireplace directly opposite, the fire burned and the firewood crackled.

"I know the way."

Nodding to the servant, Charlie walked through the left porch to a two person high gate.

This is the mayor's study.

There are rows of bookshelves in the study. On the bookshelves are novels, poetry collections and some strange collections picked up by scavengers from the outside.

Sitting at the antique wooden table, the mayor drank tea leisurely. The intermittent sound from the radio on the table was the music played by his favorite red tailed warbler orchestra.

There are three major radio stations in Jushi City, one of which can be heard even in the northern suburb of Qingquan city.

From 6:00 to 7:00 every evening, the radio will repeatedly broadcast the transaction price of today's bulk commodities. From 7:00 to 10:00, it will teach the planting experience of popular "cash crops" such as Kam trees and spiritual leaves, and interspersed with some advertisements of arms dealers and clone human trafficking.

As for other times, the pop music of the pre war era is played repeatedly, and this is also the favorite program of the old mayor, which can make him forget the bad times for a short time.

Even in the ears of real "pre war people", these are old pastimes.

Waiting quietly for the song to finish, Charlie went to his desk and bowed his eyebrows respectfully.

"My Lord, I have something urgent to report to you."

The mayor raised his eyelids and said carelessly.

"What's up?"

In his opinion, the urgent thing that old Charlie can report is nothing more than what moths have been made by the cockroaches in the shack outside.

Those people are like weeds. They will grow out in a period of time. He never cares about their life and death.

Old Charlie continued with his head down.

"There is a survivor settlement in Linghu Wetland Park in the north, with a population of more than 100... Maybe more."

"Linghu wetland park? Survivor settlement?! how possible!"

The teacup was heavily placed on the table. The mayor sat up from his chair and stared at Charlie standing at the table. "Is the news accurate?"

"There should be no mistake."

Charlie nodded cautiously and continued respectfully.

"Their strength can't be underestimated. Some hunters took their prey directly to them and brought it back with salt and meat. Moreover, it seems that their terms seem better than ours. I'm worried that if this continues for a long time, your interests will be damaged... I suggest that we should take the initiative to contact that group of people and adjust the salt price appropriately."

The mayor's face looked uncertain, and his index finger tapped gently on the table, as if weighing something.

After a while.

With a slight movement in his heart, he opened the drawer and took out an envelope with blood fingerprints and a blank letter paper.

He picked up his pen and wrote some on it. The mayor stuffed the letter paper into the envelope and threw it into Charlie's hand standing at the table.

"Find someone you can trust and send this letter to xueshou."

Looking at the envelope in his hand, Charlie was stunned.

"Are you going to..."

The mayor said expressionless.

"This winter will be very cold. No accident. Next month, people with bloody hands will come again."

The thought of those greedy villains made his teeth itch, but there was no way. His guards were not their opponents together.

Charlie hesitated a little. After a moment of hesitation, he reminded him carefully.

"I'm afraid it's not a good idea. Besides, I don't think the bloody people haven't found them. We still need to remind --"

"No doubt it's the best idea, or can you think of a better way?" the mayor waved his hand impatiently and continued, "We don't have so much surplus to give them in our granary. If we can't take out food, we can only give it to others. You should know what happens to those who are kidnapped by the marauders? Think about those broken families. I'm also for the good of the people in the town."

By this time, he was distressed about the people in the town.

The mayor took a sip of warm tea and said slowly.

"The weather is getting worse and worse."

"Pray that our neighbors can feed the jackals."

Charlie bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Follow your orders."

The mayor nodded with satisfaction.

"Go down... By the way, after you go back, let the unruly people collect more firewood and dry it as much as possible. The wood that is not dry is burning crackling and listening to the noise."

Charlie bowed his head, took the envelope and left the study.

"Yes, my Lord."
