Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Yesterday afternoon, after the two of them were invited to the warehouse by Brother Zhao, they came back and guessed that they might attract attention.

Zhao Yeqing had always wanted to avoid attracting attention. He felt that at least he had to wait until he was completely sure that the situation in the city was safe before making plans. However, Mu Xi had the opposite idea to Zhao Yeqing. When he first decided to try to learn to fly a helicopter, he had to think about it. An idea that attracts official attention.

The mine in the distance that was targeted by the reactionary organization was too close to the meadow. It was a time bomb anyway.

So when she was considering whether to bring butter, Mu Xi insisted, as did the wool from before.

However, these are only indirect methods. The purpose is to attract people like Brother Zhao to come over and exchange things with them. After contacting capable ordinary citizens, they can then find ways to find higher-level people.

These were also the words Mu Xi used to persuade Zhao Yeqing.

Unexpectedly, things developed according to Mu Xi's original idea. The officials were indeed not vegetarians and had long noticed the helicopter that originally belonged to the villain.

The old man in front of him smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, we don't lack that helicopter. We just want to know the story behind it."

In the two years before the climate improved, the officials finally solved the internal problems. Now it is time to solve the external problems. The tolerance for those who engage in small tricks outside is close to the bottom line.

Mu Xi has been targeted since the first time he stepped into the city. It should be said that he was already targeted when the helicopter approached within a hundred kilometers of the city's airspace.

Mu Xi had previously checked that there was a shielding system on the plane, but he was still discovered unexpectedly. It seemed that his idea was right, and seeking official asylum was the safest way.

The two looked at each other, Mu Xi nodded slightly to Zhao Yeqing, and then she asked: "Do you have a map?"

"Hold on."

The man standing by the door caught the old man's look and went out to get the map.

I originally thought it would be a paper map, but I didn't expect it to be a projection device, with map information around the city marked on it.

This was just made, and the surrounding ruins and cobweb-like ground cracks can be clearly seen in the picture above.

The tablet that controlled the screen was handed to Zhao Yeqing. She gently slid the screen on it and locked the position on the rare earth mine.

"It's coming from this way."

It's just that the rare earth mine in the picture doesn't look like the picture on the man's mobile phone, but is full of miners and operating machines.

The person who brought the equipment explained: "The picture of this place is from the past and has been spliced ​​with the map picture we have explored now. It is not what it looks like now."

now it's right.

Zhao Yeqing expressed his understanding and used a stylus to draw a horizontal line on the enlarged screen. "We have been observing for a period of time, for more than a month. The helicopter we drove frequently traveled between the mine and... this town.”

The old man nodded and looked at the assistant sitting next to him. The assistant answered: "It is a small organization that relies on divine punishment, with only a few hundred people."

"That's right." The old man also explained to the two of them very considerately: "The small organization you saw should be the people who helped the 'God's Punishment' explore the mineral spots, and they are not considered to be the 'God's Punishment' people. I guess you’ll be safe for a while.”

The words were said ambiguously, as if they were deliberately tempting the two of them to make demands.

Zhao Yeqing looked at the old man speechlessly, and the other man looked at her with a smile, as if he was waiting for her to speak. She could only accept her fate and said: "How can I stay safe for a long time?"

She convinced herself that old people, old children, even the leaders had to be coaxed.

As expected, the old man laughed loudly: "Send two sheep to the city."

......

Why do both of them covet her sheep?

However, she just wanted two sheep. She couldn't believe that she agreed so easily.

"...Just two sheep?"

She regretted the words as soon as she said them. The old man's eyes flashed, and the assistant next to him quickly answered: "It would be great if I could go to your home to choose."

Zhao Yeqing regretted so much that he pinched Mu Xi's thighs. Before she could reply, the old man next to him pretended to be angry: "Hey! How could this be like this? He said it like he was a bandit..."

That's it!

Zhao Yeqing was overjoyed, and then heard the old man say: "You still have to give money... That Xiao Zhao, your family has lived in the mountains for so many years, and you must not have a lot of things, right? So, what do you want, what do you want? If it’s hard to buy, just tell us and we’ll exchange it with you. You can’t just take the people’s needles and threads in vain.”

Yes, he still covets her one-third of an acre of land.

But it’s the best result.

Back at the guest house, the unsold goods by the two of them were finally taken away by the old man's assistant. "Tell us what else you want this time. I'll have someone deliver it directly. You don't have to go to the market to sell these goods. I Take them all away.”

Seeing the box of butter in the bag, the assistant couldn't help but smile and said: "I'll beg for half of it with the boss in a while. I haven't had cake for a long time. I will give this to my wife, she will be happy."

The assistant's lover is a baker and has been out of materials to make cakes and breads for several years. The assistant also went with him on this trip, and even brought a younger brother to help move things.

The four people chatted along the way, and Zhao Yeqing also got a lot of information.

There have been almost no cattle or sheep in the city for so many years. It should be said that there are no sheep or dairy cows.

Now is the third year of climate recovery. Many cities have too much to take care of themselves and have very few resources that can be exchanged. Chickens, ducks, fish and pork are already abundant in the city.

"Many cities are not as developed as our original small third-tier cities. They have been swallowed up in larger areas. Not only do they have to rebuild the city, they also have to deal with the reactionary forces outside."

"Is it also the 'divine punishment'?"

The assistant shook his head: "No, for larger organizations, it's not that simple."

This is no longer a secret. It turns out that 'God's Punishment' is at best a fanatical cult. Even if such an organization has enough people to restrain the official hands, it is still not something to be afraid of in terms of hard power.

Only larger, more powerful organizations can make an impact.

For example, above this, the people who had a big say before the earthquake, and the organization that accumulated strength after the turmoil in an attempt to change the government, are still a cancer until now.

As for who it is, it is beyond the reach of the two of them. Zhao Yeqing doesn't want to know at all next. It's not something she can change. She just wants to stay in her meadow, working at sunrise and resting at sundown. .

I just didn't expect that the divine punishment that I thought was a boss turned out to be just an errand boy?
