The Tight Embrace of the End Times

The home of Gu Gang, the village head.

The hall was once again full of people. This time, the uncle of the Yuan family, Yuan Qinglang, and the village head, Gu Gang, were sitting on the same seat, and Gu Leng also noticed that the women in the village were obviously inclined to Uncle Yuan's family, and stood around him.

The uncle of the Yuan family is like a representative of women.

The four Gu Leng, who were the main contributors to the salt drying this time, were also surrounded by villagers and sat on chairs. Some villagers brought them a cup of cold boiled water, and they drank it down, feeling a kind of coolness that hit their heads.

After exchanging greetings for a while, the village chief Gu Gang said: "Everyone be quiet. Before the boys left, we discussed that salt is not a distribution item. Now let's discuss how to trade the salt."

The village head Gu Gang has to be said to be a simple and honest old man, but he is too honest. During his tenure as the village head, all the decisions he made were made by the villagers. , On the other hand, this also fully shows that he has no independent opinion, and thus has no prestige. On such occasions, the villagers also want to say what they want.

A greasy male voice sounded: "Village chief, haven't these young men come back? I don't think they are missing arms or legs, and they haven't lost weight, but they are dark. We are all from Gujia Village. They What's the matter with making some contributions to the village? I see, this salt should be distributed according to the head." Gu Leng looked at the man who spoke——Gu Lin, feeling very angry in his heart. If there are too many people, they will say that they are allocated according to the head. When they said they were going to dry the salt, the Gu Lin family was strong and hardworking, and they shrank into the shell like a turtle, afraid that others would see his head.

Gu Leng sneered and said: "We have been camping out for more than a month, during which we have encountered countless crises, and you have no shortage of arms or legs, and you are really nice to speak."

Gu Leng looked around, and many people who met his gaze lowered their heads: "I'll put my words here, we agreed before we left, salt needs to be traded, if you don't want to trade, you can directly I'm home, there's no need to take up space here."

Next to Gu Lin, a woman who was holding his arm affectionately, her whole body seemed to be glued to his body, said, "You are too rude to speak, it's up to everyone how to divide the salt." Meaning." As she spoke, she looked at Gu Leng provocatively.

Gu Leng understood what she meant. What she said was implying that the villagers present should submit their individual opinions to those of the collective. If everyone insisted on distributing salt, then, in the end, Gu Leng Neither is cold.

Gu looked around coldly, many people were eager to try, obviously excited.

At this time, Xiao Qiao stood up with a "chuckle", exerted a lot of force, and moved the chair under her back a few centimeters, Xiao Qiao slammed her fist on the table with a "bang", and withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened.

The whole hall fell silent, and a needle could be heard. The villagers looked in horror at a slightly sunken fist mark on the table and the thin and twisted cracks on the table.

Xiao Qiao glanced at Gu Leng proudly, which means that sometimes violence is needed.

Also, when the conversation cannot be resolved and the other party is obviously a rogue, a violent blow can often solve the problem.

After being quiet for a few minutes, the village head coughed twice and said, "Then let's talk about how to trade. Gu Leng, Xiao Qiao, Gu Hai, Yuan Yushu, tell me, what do you want to trade?"

The village head, Gu Gang, seemed to never have an idea of ​​his own. After seeing the two parties finished speaking, he asked another question.

The uncle of the Yuan family, Yuan Qinglang, has not spoken. Although his status in the village has been rising and he is now on an equal footing with the village chief Gu Gang, he knows that he is a foreigner after all. Don't listen to anything, let alone him.

Moreover, he believed that these children could solve the problem beautifully, so he sat in the upper position and remained as still as a mountain.

Gu Hai couldn't bear it anymore, and when he heard this, he jumped out and said, "I don't want anything else, they are all from the same village, so you can exchange your food for salt, you can eat anything, and then look at the food The weight, size, and degree of hunger are determined by both of us. We both agree to exchange. If we don’t accept it, we don’t have to exchange it. Of course, Gu Lin, if you want to exchange salt, you have to take double portions of food. Don’t stare. Look at me, if it weren't for your family and other people, I would have traded with you."

As Gu Hai said, he took a look at Zhao Chunru, Gu Lin's wife, who was standing behind Gu Lin, with only a piece of head visible from the gap between his shoulders.

Then he glanced at the woman who had fanned the wind and ignited the fire with Gu Lin, her face was full of disdain.

Yuan Yushu continued: "I also change food, the standard is the same as that of Gu Hai's family. Besides, I have the same attitude towards Gu Lin as Gu Hai."

Gu Lin was impatient with the woman, and the woman stood up straight for the first time and said, "Why, you are discriminating."

Gu Hai disdainfully said, "Since when is it your turn to talk here as a mistress? Go back, don't embarrass yourself here."

This woman is Guan Lulu who escaped from a foreign country with Gu Lin openly together before Gu Leng left.

The two of them are really blatant, the original wife Zhao Chunru was standing behind them, Guan Lulu cried and said to Gu Lin: "You said, you want to divorce this ugly monster, you said you want to marry me, you Little man, when will you marry me? You let me suffer this kind of anger here. Woohoo..."

Gu Lin obviously hesitated. Next to them, Gu Lin's mother coughed and said, "Don't even think about it. Just play."

Guan Lulu stopped crying all of a sudden, changed her face to a gentle and amiable one, and continued to stick to Gu Lin's side.Not a word.

Guan Lulu wanted to take the opportunity to finalize her identity in front of the whole village. Only when she was truly tied to Gu Lin could she feel at ease and free from panic. She was afraid of being hungry and tired. She just wanted to sleep well in the future. She felt that she could eat enough to eat, and she worked hard, not hesitate to destroy other people's families.

As long as she can achieve her own goal, Guan Lulu glanced at Zhao Chunru, she is not afraid of hurting anyone.This stupid woman only blames her own bad luck, and she doesn't know how to fight or rob. If you don't die, whoever dies.

Seeing Gu Lin's mother slap her face like this now, she could only swallow her breath, with a ruthless gleam in her eyes, and then slowly plot.

And everyone's eyes were mostly focused on Zhao Chunru, who was behind Gu Lin with his head down.When Gu Lin hesitated to divorce his wife, she never trembled, and when Gu Lin's mother threw back Lin's thoughts, she never breathed a sigh of relief. In the eyes of the villagers, Zhao Chunru was numb.

Lamenting its misfortune, anger is indisputable.

Gu said coldly: "I don't want food."

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were pulled back from Zhao Chunru, and everyone looked at Gu Leng with bright eyes.

"I want cotton."

On the way from outside the village to Gu Gang's house, Gu Leng saw cotton seedlings half a meter high scattered everywhere in the farmland.

"Well, what if the cotton seedlings don't grow?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"Then the salt in my hand will be distributed to everyone for free."

The villagers were short of breath a few times, and they all secretly decided to exchange the food for some salt and eat first, and wait for Gu Leng to distribute the salt when the cotton really can't grow in the future.

Gu Hai and Yuan Yushu were not worried at all, the salt they had brought back after so much hard work would be folded in their hands, just wait, there is no way to grow cotton, salt is in quantity, and it is a scarce commodity.

Gu Leng glanced at Zhao Chunru, the cotton seedlings had already grown to half a meter long, which showed that the cotton seeds soaked in the spring water of the space can withstand high temperature and can adapt, not to mention, Gu Leng still has the spring water of the space, no matter No matter what, Gu Leng wanted to let the cotton grow and form huge cloud-like white pellets.

For a woman who is struggling to survive in the last days like Zhao Chunru.

They urgently need to show their inherent talents, to be able to take a breath and breathe freely in the last days.

Gu Leng finally said: "As for Gu Lin, I will not trade or distribute the salt to you. That's it."

Afterwards, Gu Leng turned around and walked out. The surrounding crowd, as if rehearsed, silently exited a road to the side.

On the way, Gu Hai, who followed him, said, "How is it? I scolded that woman just now, come on, I said brother Leng, you are too thin-skinned, you can't say a dirty word, but, you just talked inside, really It's so imposing. Brother Xiao Qiao's punch was so good, I couldn't help but want to punch it."

Xiao Qiao turned straight to Gu Hai and said, "Gu Hai, you can't be like me and your little brother Leng, you have to be careful about what you do, and if you can get along with the people in the village, you should get along better."

Xiao Qiao really knows me.

Gu Leng patted Gu Hai on the shoulder and said, "We two are not afraid of offending anyone. It's okay to have a falling out with the whole village. At worst, I will go to Yanghai City with Xiao Qiao and be with the sharks. You are different, you have Parents and sisters, I know, you must want to say that you can also live in Yanghai City, but you have to think about your parents and sisters, maybe they don’t want to leave their homes and give up their land?”

Gu Hai fell silent after listening.

After a long time, he said dryly and anxiously: "Then, Brother Leng, Brother Xiao Qiao, you two won't really leave Gu's Village, will you?"

Gu sneered and comforted him: "Of course—not now, but I will definitely leave Gu's Village to travel around in the future."

"Then, brother Leng, you take me with you, I also want to travel around."

"Find a partner first!"

A joke, a sweet trip in the world of two, how can such a big light bulb be accommodated?
