food crisis [end times]

Although Zhou Nana was caught that time before, the situation at that time was different from now.

Xiang Luo approached Zhou Zhenhua to inquire about the situation. Zhou Zhenhua said with a relaxed face: "They dug a tunnel in the snow until it was outside the wall. It seems that they should have stayed there for a while to observe us. Later, they saw that the time was almost right before they did it. It was a success." After transporting them out, they escaped through the tunnel. When chasing them out before, they quickly found the tunnel and touched all the way. There were more than 20 people in total, and six of them were killed. Although the others escaped, all the stolen things were recovered. gone."

"They run so fast?" Xiang Luo asked.

Even if they dig a tunnel, the exit of the tunnel must not be too far away.And it was still snowing at this time, their actions would definitely be affected.

How could they all run away?

Zhou Zhenhua said angrily: "This is where they are cunning. After running for a while, the tunnels were twisted and interspersed. There are footprints under the tunnels. I don't know which direction they escaped from. Those tunnels are like a maze. Seems like. There are still People’s Liberation Army looking for them in the tunnel, but they probably have run away.”

When they dug the tunnel, they already guessed that they would be discovered and besieged.That's why they used this wasteful, but very useful method to disrupt the route that followed them.

Such a plan can only be used now.Because the snow is already higher than a person, and the base is very solid, so it is not easy to collapse.

This is a good time to dig a tunnel.

These people are really smart!

Xiang Luo went out of the room again, looking at those people on the ground.

They are all dressed in the standard of this world, the dirty ones are very sloppy, but they look stronger than ordinary people, and they obviously eat well.

The faces of these people are very unfamiliar, not those shopkeepers, and it seems that they have never seen them before.

Xiang Luo looked over carefully, his eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Zhou Zhenhua followed and said, "These people should not be from the local area, at least not from nearby villages."

"It's not complete," Xiang Luo thought about it, and then said, "Let everyone in the village come and take a look, especially those who often go out, or those of the same age."

If you can recognize someone, it may be much easier to follow the clues.

Zhou Zhenhua also felt that it made sense, so he organized it later.

Xiang Luo asked the soldiers again, and the situation was similar.Some people are still searching for the prisoners, but there is little hope.

There are a lot of things, but the two people killed by them never come back.

Xiang Luo stayed for a while, watching people coming in and out.Later, the soldiers brought back a man with only one breath left. The man breathed out too much and breathed in less, he couldn't even speak, and he couldn't live.

He was sent to the house to stop the bleeding, but he died completely within half an hour.

Someone in the People's Liberation Army looked familiar to him, but they couldn't remember who it was.

After all, they have been to many places after the end of the world and met more people.Many people have only had one face-to-face meeting, and it is difficult to remember.

In the end, when the weather was completely cold, they knocked on the door from door to door, asking the young people and older men in their family to come out and recognize them.

Seeing that he couldn't help much, Xiang Luo went home first.After eating, I stayed at home and waited for the situation. When it was almost noon, the siren sounded.

Xiang Luo thought it was the village committee or a soldier, but when he went out, he turned out to be Zhou Xingwen.

Xiang Luo didn't let anyone enter the hospital, he just looked at him and said, "If you want to ask for leave, just tell my second aunt."

Zhou Xingwen hurriedly said, "I'm here to find you."

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, he refused to explain it at the door.Only then did Xiang Luo make way: "Come in."

Welcoming him into the house, seeing his preoccupied appearance, Xiang Luo was also wondering what could be the matter.

After entering the house, Xiang Luo poured him a cup of hot water.

"Did you recognize the robber?" The most recent thing was the robber.He has nothing to do with Zhou Xingwen. He only comes here on weekdays to raise capital and never does anything else.

Zhou Xingwen nodded, feeling the cup was hot again.

Look at his troubled look.Xiang Luo guessed the beginning correctly, but the latter is actually easier to guess.

Later, Xiang Luo gave an answer that he couldn't believe: "You recognized me, but you came to me. It proves that you think those people have a problem with me. Or...Zhou Xingfeng?"

Literati Zhou Xing was startled, and looked up at Xiang Luo in astonishment, apparently he didn't expect Xiang Luo to think of Zhou Xingfeng.

Although he himself thought so.It's just that he really finds the idea unbelievable.

But recalling Zhou Xingfeng's strange attitude towards Xiang Luo when he returned to the village, Zhou Xingwen couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.

Seeing Zhou Xingwen's performance, Xiang Luo knew he had guessed right.

"Those people he brought back from other places?" Xiang Luo remembered that Zhou Xingfeng brought a dozen brothers back to the village.

It's just that those people had little contact with other people at that time, and Zhou Xingfeng left not long after, so the whole village didn't have much impression.

Even if I have an impression, such a long time in the apocalypse is enough to change a person.

Familiar people don't know if they can deny it, let alone strangers.

Zhou Xingwen could recognize them because they lived in his house.

Zhou Xingwen said: "I only recognized one of them, the one that died when I brought it back. I don't know the others. My brother...he never came back after he left, and my parents were worried whether he was outside. What happened. This... I still don’t think my brother did it, he’s not that kind of person!”

Although the relationship between their cousins ​​is not close, being a robber is still too serious.Zhou Xingfeng was known as an honest kid since he was a child.It's not like someone who can feel such a thing!

Xiang Luo thought of that prophetic dream.

At that time, the group was bold enough to rob wealthy businessmen with military escorts.Although it is one thing to have a brain hole, it also proves that their team is strong.

If Zhou Xingfeng had left the village and brought his brothers in, at least he would have been a small leader.

Therefore, if the current group of robbers is the same group as those who robbed the rich merchants in the past, many things can be connected together.

The more Zhou Xingwen thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help looking at Xiang Luo.He knew that Xiang Luo was an extremely smart person, so he must have thought a lot about it.

If Xiang Luo hates him because of this, then the consequences...

The surname Zhou is a common surname in the village, and there are almost a hundred people surnamed Zhou, but they are not from the same clan.And even if they are in the same clan, they don't have much contact with each other.Most of them are surnamed Zhou, and they are closer to each other.

Just like with Zhou Zhenhua's house.In fact, the younger generation used one typesetting typewriter, but from the elders, I have never heard of any clan relationship between them.In addition, they don't have much contact with each other on weekdays, so they can't be regarded as relatives.

It's just that in this village, Xiang Luo has had enough conflicts and troubles with people surnamed Zhou.Zhou Xingwen was a little worried.

"You can come here and tell me this, which means you have a clear conscience," Xiang Luo said, "Don't say it was your cousin, even if your own brother did it, if you don't know, I won't make things difficult for you. I'm not an unreasonable person. Just think about it for me, when did I offend him? "

Xiang Luo really couldn't figure it out.Although he has a bad temper, he has always been a person who will not offend me since he was a child, and he has never provoked anyone.In my impression, he didn't talk to Zhou Xingfeng very often since he was a child. Why does he hate himself so much?

Perhaps the question of the current robbers is just conjecture.But his behavior when he came to the house before was very telling.Even Zhu Yan was furious when he saw him, and he said that there is no problem, no ghost would believe it.

Zhou Xingwen himself couldn't figure it out!

Zhou Xingwen frowned and sighed: "I don't dare to hide it from you. I don't know anything about my brother. He liked someone when he was young, and we only got close to my grandma for a few days during New Years and holidays. When I was young, I didn’t study well. My mother wanted him to help teach me, and we didn’t have any conflicts. I stopped coming after two days of good teaching. We brothers didn’t communicate much. But he is indeed an honest boy, my mother He also talked to me, saying that he had never seen such an honest child. How could he do such a thing?"

Xiang Luo reminded: "Don't forget, he brought back a dozen brothers. And these dozen brothers all listened to him."

If he was really a so-called honest child, how could it be possible for these people to follow him wholeheartedly?

Zhou Xingwen didn't speak any more.

Xiang Luo said: "Some people are honest if they don't look honest. Some honest people are the ones who hurt the most when stabbing people. And it's hard to guard against."

"I see..." Zhou Xingwen sighed, "I just can't figure it out, how could this happen? Maybe there are other coincidences?"

Maybe something happened to Zhou Xingfeng after he left?Or for what reason did they become bandits?

That is his cousin, and in the village's concept, he is the same as a real brother. Even if he has not been close in recent years, this closeness is innate.

Zhou Xingwen really didn't want this matter to have anything to do with Zhou Xingfeng.

He didn't want Zhou Xingfeng to be the heinous villain who robbed the village, and he didn't want to affect his family's reputation because of him.

Just like Zhou Zhenhua.Zhou Zhenxing's family committed evil deeds, and then they caught them relentlessly. Zhou Zhenxing's daughter-in-law suffered a head injury, and after the youngest daughter-in-law ran away again, she became a little crazy. There was no good result in running away.But they died cleanly, and Zhou Zhenhua bore their notoriety.

Now Zhou Zhenhua is still able to live a peaceful life in the village with the title of village head. If he were an ordinary person, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The more Zhou Xingwen thought about it, the cold sweat broke out.

"Even if it's a coincidence, he hasn't come home for so long. If he's still around and alive, he's not worth getting close to. You'd better be mentally prepared. I won't be in a hurry to tell the village chief about this. It’s not a certainty after all, don’t worry.”

Zhu Yan didn't mean to embarrass Zhou Xingwen.Zhou Xingwen has worked in his hands for quite a long time.Such a long time is enough for Xiang Luo to understand a person's good and evil.

Xiang Luo's eyesight can't tolerate sand, but he doesn't mean to hurt others.

As long as Zhou Xingwen has a clear conscience, it has nothing to do with him.

This matter was not in a hurry to spread, because they were afraid that the villagers would have suspicions about Zhou Xingwen.

Seeing him say this, Zhou Xingwen was naturally grateful.

"Brother Xiang, don't worry. Even if it's my own brother, I won't defend him if he does this kind of thing. If there is such a thing, if he dies, he deserves it. If he is alive, I will stutter him at most, and I will never defend him! Let's It is not easy for the village to reach the present, such people cannot be spared!"

Having said that, Zhou Xingwen's eye circles were already red after speaking.

No matter how indifferent the relationship is, it grows up from childhood.When I was young, I was used to hearing from my parents that they wanted to set him as a role model, but now something like this happened.

How could he not care.

Xiang Luo didn't try to persuade him any more, he just complied and asked him to think carefully.

If the matter is true, it is necessary and inevitable for Zhou Xingwen and Zhou Xingfeng to separate.

Zhou Xingfeng dared to do such a thing without worrying about his family members in the village, so why should he ask them to wipe his ass.

Zhou Xingwen stayed for a while and then left.

Zhu Yan entered the house when he heard people leaving.

"Where did you go just now?" Xiang Luo asked.

"Eavesdropping," Zhu Yan sat next to Xiang Luo and crossed his legs, "I thought something was wrong with him when I was in school."

Zhu Yan was far more perceptive than Xiang Luo imagined.

"At the beginning, he gave me a very gloomy feeling," Xiang Luo said after thinking about it, "I remember you said that he liked to stare at me back then?"

"Well, sometimes one stare is a lesson. Even when you are in the first row, he will always turn his head to look at you. But when you look at him, he turns away. Tsk, don't like you gone."

"I don't know if he likes it or not." Xiang Luo touched Zhu Yan with his arm, "You have a deep affection for me. I didn't even know that anyone was looking at me, but you did."

……

Zhu Yan seemed to have exposed something.

Zhu Yan sneered: "Do you think I have other things to do in class?"

The table with Xiang Luo is basically in the front row.Under the nose of the teacher, it is easy to be found out if you do anything else.Although Zhu Yan didn't care about this, Xiang Luo still wanted to take care of it.

Zhu Yan studies hard, which is relative. With his photographic memory, he can read the textbook once, and after the teacher explains it once, he can basically master it.But the results are one of the best.

Such a talent, even if Xiang Luo's grades were better than his back then, he was still envious.

It's like the sentence that describes Xueshen on the Internet.

You get 99 points in the test, because your ability is only 99 points.People take a test of [-] points, but the total score on the test paper is only [-] points.

Xiang Luo also wanted to see what Zhu Yan would look like when he was really serious about doing something.

It's rare for Xiang Luo to cheat: "That's why I can interest you."

Xiang Luo smiled, and said again: "You said that he was mentioned. Then this matter is probably nine out of ten. Although I have not offended him, there is no reason for a person to get sick."

"Defense is never the answer." Zhu Yan pulled his thoughts back and frowned.

"Offense is the best defense." Xiang Luo continued.

"So, let's look at the time and give them a good chance if it's appropriate."

Xiang Luo said: "If the other party really wants to destroy me, it shouldn't be possible to attack me."

"It depends on whether you give enough bait or not. They make an exception." Zhu Yan sneered, "Our family still raises ducks."

After all, this matter has not been spread too much, and there are only a few people who know about it.Although everyone in the village went to identify the corpse, neither the salesman nor Zhou Xingfeng mentioned it to the outside world.

In the final analysis, it is just a logical guess that makes the most sense.

Although things were recovered, two lives were lost.The death of these scumbags is not a pity, but the shadow brought to everyone cannot be eliminated in a short time.

But things have already happened, and people always have to move forward.

Most people in the village don't know much about it.However, the people from the village committee and the army were all in high spirits.

The people from the village committee specifically approached Xiang Luo to discuss with Zhu Yan how the situation would be better in the future.

The solution Zhu Yan gave was to keep things as usual.Especially after the salesman comes, there must be no flaws.Wait for at least two more visits to give yourself plenty of time to get to know them.And be able to actively throw out some news to confuse them.

The village didn't agree very much at first, thinking it was a bit risky.But the People's Liberation Army immediately agreed after knowing it.

There is nothing more dangerous than an enemy in the open and you in the dark.It would be best if the snake could be lured out of the hole.

Everything in the village remained the same, and Xiang Luo also started selling duck meat according to the previous agreement.

A duck is sold every Wednesday and Friday, and all parts are disassembled and sold at different prices.Whatever you grab is fine.More meat for a duck?One person buys it and goes back a little bit, and it will be gone after a few mouthfuls.

Even so, the villagers are happy with it.Being able to snatch even a small piece of duck meat back will give you a different mood throughout the day.

Xiang Luo went to watch the first two times when it went on sale, and it was quite good to see the spirit of people rushing for it.

Someone saw Xiang Luo and asked him why he didn't take out more, Xiang Luo could only smile wryly.

"Do you think I don't want to? Isn't there nothing? The newly hatched ones haven't grown up yet. Wait a little longer. There will always be an unlimited day every month. But there is no limit, let's Every family can be fed."

I heard that Xiang Luo really planned to bring everyone together to raise ducks. Some people went back after hearing about it and packed up the original chicken coops at home, waiting for the day when they could buy ducks.

And seeing Xiang Luo take out the duck and sell it, the people in the village are completely relieved, knowing that the duck can indeed be raised well.

Someone asked Xiang Luo if he could still sell ducklings. Xiang Luo only said that there are a lot of tricks here, and he will pass on his experience to everyone after he can successfully breed ducks on a large scale.

It's just that this is no better than a fungus bag.Most of the people in the village have raised chickens, ducks and geese all their lives. I heard from Xiang Luo that he would teach them how to raise them.One by one is really a bit of fun.

Xiang Luo ignored their ridicule or suspicion.It's just that after the employees in their own factory have officially gone to work, tens of thousands of mushroom bags are produced every day. The speed of making mushroom bags in this way is terrifying, and the speed of raw material consumption is also terrifying.

It's just that such a big snowstorm has been falling for a long time, and it is really difficult to collect fungus bags from above.

And Xiang Luo has to talk to the official again about the purchase of raw materials.

However, when Xiang Luo called the official to inquire, they told Xiang Luo that the official support was almost enough, and Xiang Luo had passed the initial stage.The official will not participate in the follow-up sales of raw materials and fungus packs for the time being.

However, the official has also found a handover person.

Xiang Luo laughed when he heard the name, it was none other than the wealthy businessman surnamed Zhang, an old friend.
