tall and rhubarb

The mutants were finally sent away, and the women over there had almost cleaned up the wild boars. Chen Yuzhen led a few people to cook a fire, and soon, the yard was full of fragrance.

But being disturbed by this, Bai Bao stood up and said cruel words, and Gao Chang said that he would do business with mutants in the future. For a while, the atmosphere in the yard was not so lively. The intestines turned back and forth, and these things tonight were enough for them to digest.

Gao Chang felt that it would be better to talk about some problems now, so as to save everyone from thinking about it. Apparently, Bai Bao thought so too. After making sure that the mutants had left their village, he returned to Gao Chang's yard again.

Bai Bao's behavior made the villagers a little apprehensive, worried that he would say something bad again. Although the villagers admitted that they were classified under Bai Bao's sphere of influence, on the surface, no one wanted to be a grandson. I don't want to be a straight man, especially a man in the village. If he is taught a bloody lesson in front of his wife and children, how can he hold his head up in the future.

"There are no outsiders now. Let's talk about those mutants just now." Bai Bao drank a ladle of water from the water tank in the yard, wiped his mouth, and sat back to the position just now On the surface, the attitude is not as tough as before, and everyone is secretly relieved in their hearts.

"Since you don't agree with them living in, then we don't have any objections. The matter hasn't been settled yet, so let's talk about it." Zheng Guobang also woke up now. The village has brought a lot of convenience. Today's matter was indeed a little thoughtless. They thought that Gao Chang might disagree, and they didn't think much about Bai Bao's attitude. Everyone still felt that Bai Bao didn't belong to their village.

"It's nothing." Bai Bao waved his hand, expressing that he didn't care. "Speaking of mutants, there may be some things you don't know. I didn't think it was necessary to tell you before. Now, it seems that everyone should have a clear idea. We heard a lot about it when we were selling salt. Afterwards, I went to the central plateau for news about this, and those rumors from the past were also confirmed.”

When Bai Bao said this, the people in the village had a different opinion of him. They felt that he was not just blindly arrogant, and there was still something to say here.

"There is a saying in the Central Plateau that the research lab over there needs the cooperation of mutants in their research to try to increase the success rate of mutations, but the mutants don't cooperate, so there is the theory of exposing and reporting, exposing a mutant, And those who are successfully captured can get many rewards, and the way of rewards varies from person to person, like me, you can ask them for some guns and ammunition, and the ammunition exchanged by a mutant is enough for us to consume for a whole year at least."

After Bai Bao finished speaking, he stopped. The villagers couldn't figure out what he meant by saying that. Are they going to report it?But it's not quite like it.Everyone is familiar with the term "revealing", especially the elderly in the village. When I think about those crazy years decades ago, I still have mixed feelings in my heart.

"This can't be done." In the end, Xiwei's Fifth Uncle took the lead in expressing his opinion, and there was unquestionable determination in his old voice.

"I don't think there is anything we can't do. Just now, those mutants didn't treat us as human beings at all. They might come to trouble us one day. It's just right to let them enter the laboratory, to taste the treatment of mutants, and by the way Make some contributions for us, if there is a breakthrough in research, we will be able to live in the sun in the future, instead of hiding in the shadows like a mouse." It was Zheng Zhanpeng who spoke.

"Yes, if we show mercy, we might die at their hands one day, so don't be too fussy at this time." Zheng Cungang also chimed in.

"This head can't be opened, cough cough." Uncle Wu coughed anxiously. The juniors around him patted their backs and handed water. The others saw him like that and stopped saying anything for a while. This old man is not young anymore. Well, if something goes wrong when he gets angry all of a sudden, his gang of children and grandchildren will have to fight desperately.

"Uncle Wu is right. Once the head is opened, it won't be able to stop. Are we going to mutate ourselves in the future? Is our baby going to mutate?" At this time, Uncle Ashan, who usually doesn't express much, also spoke.

"Can this be the same? We are us, we are all in the same village, who can report it to our own people?" Zheng Cungang didn't dare to talk to Uncle Wu, but Uncle Ashan was not afraid. He even came out to make trouble later on, what the hell, Zheng Cungang's attitude is obviously not good.

"Why is it different?" Zheng Guoxi was flipping through a torn book in his hand, when he heard Zheng Cungang yelling at his father, he stopped doing it immediately, and the book slapped on the table. "This thing is like taking drugs. It is contaminated and addicted. When you say who should report and who should not? Can you explain clearly? Even if you are in the same village, don't you have any conflicts? When did the report reveal it? "

"Just now Bai Bao also said that the rewards for reporting a mutant are very generous. If this cat is too greedy for meat, can it still quit?" Gong Jian naturally had the same attitude as Zheng Guoxi.Although Uncle Ah Shan has a soft temper, but now there are two young and strong men in their family, even if Zheng Guoxi's legs are a little lame, it is not easy to be bullied.

Wei Changrui sat aside with his son. At times like this, he, an outsider, usually wouldn't express his opinion, and sometimes he didn't even participate at all. But today's topic is closely related to him, so he listened very carefully.He also did not expect that there would be so many objections in the village regarding the matter of reporting mutants.

However, although there are many people who hold opposing opinions, there are also quite a few villagers who disapprove in their hearts, but it is still a bit difficult to talk about it, so they all hold it in their stomachs.

"What's your attitude, Bai Bao?" Zheng Guohong asked Bai Bao at this time.

"I still have to listen to everyone's opinions first." Bai Bao still didn't express his opinion.

"..." Zheng Guohong stopped talking.

But Uncle Nine stood up and spoke at this time: "Usually everyone discusses matters in our village, but this time, we will not discuss it. I, Mr. Zheng, will express my opinion first. In the future, no one is allowed to make any reports and expose, everyone will feel that my idea is not good, if you say it, I, Zheng Laojiu, will pack up my things and leave immediately without saying a word."

"Old Ninth Uncle, you are..." Old Ninth Uncle is considered to be highly respected in the village, and no one would take him seriously when he said something like this today.

"Don't try to persuade me. Let's leave the conversation here today. Whoever wants to do that immoral thing will have him but me in the village." The slightly trembling body shows that the old man is very emotional and resolute at the moment.

"If we keep people like this in our village, I'll get out of here too." Fifth Uncle also regained his composure at this moment, after the old man finished speaking, he raised his sleeve and wiped away his tears, as if he had thought of something sad.

"father……"

"uncle……"

"grandfather……"

When Uncle Wu said this, most of Xiwei's population, that is, the people who used to live in Shangkan's courtyard, had a clear attitude, and no one wanted to report it anymore.

"I have the same attitude as Old Ninth Uncle and the others." Zheng Guohong immediately expressed his attitude.

"I agree too." Zheng Guobang was not far behind.

"Since Old Ninth Uncle and Fifth Uncle have said so, let's leave it at that, and we won't mention it in the future." After all, Zheng Zhanpeng still respects the opinions of his elders. The two old men have said so, so naturally he can no longer disobey What's more, this matter has no direct conflict of interest with him.

Others also expressed their attitudes one after another, and no longer raised the matter of reporting. Zheng Cungang also expressed his attitude a little bit. To put it bluntly, this person's words don't have much weight. Zheng Zongfan and his family were forcibly smashed to live in the yard in Aoli. His younger brother Zheng Fangyi lost his wife and son after his wife and son died.

"What do you say, Bai Bao?" Zheng Guohong asked Bai Bao again.

"Since everyone has made up their minds, I, Bai Bao, will naturally contribute. Regarding those mutants, you don't have to worry too much. If they want to do something, I will take my brothers to fight with them." Bai Bao is very generous.

"You also think it's not good to report?" Zheng Guohong made it clear that he wanted Bai Bao to explain clearly, so that some people in the village who were still ready to make trouble would give up their hearts as soon as possible.

"What are you reporting? We are upright in our conduct and business. It is not our style to make small reports. I have also seen your attitude today. You have to do what you say. I will help you supervise and supervise when the time comes. If anyone commits a foul, if you are embarrassed to drive them away, the brothers will help you."

From the very beginning, Bai Bao made up his mind not to report mutants for three reasons. First, as he himself said, it didn't match their style.Second, I don't want to have any involvement with the central plateau. The business is business. If mutants are involved, things will be complicated.

The third and most important point is that he is not very confident in the gang of grandsons hiding on the plateau. He just reported it with his front foot, but his back foot is turned upside down because he offended too many mutants, so the gain outweighs the loss up.After all, everyone knows that mutation is a trend. Although the mutants are weak at present, in the long run, the world will be occupied by mutants sooner or later, so it is better to plan early and don't do those things. Things that cause public outrage.

But this point, it's not easy for him to tell the people in this village, what if some soft bones take the mutants too seriously and sell them out?

"Since everyone has made up their minds, should we also let the mutants know about it, so that we can sell favors?" Zheng Guobang said.

"Yes." Many people in the village agreed one after another, and everyone was willing to do it.

"You can't tell them about this." Gao Chang really doesn't know what to say about this village head. In this troubled world, the lower your posture, the easier it is for people to bully you. How many people will accept your affection? "If we don't talk about it, they won't know our attitude. If they want to move our village, they have to weigh it. If they piss us off and go to the plateau, they won't be able to eat it. But if we spread these words today If you go out, isn't that putting your head on someone's chopping board and letting others kill you?"

"And if these words are spread, to put it bluntly, I will be against the people on the plateau. I still have to do business with them." Bai Bao smiled wryly, it is easy for the business to fail, in case someone wants to make an example of them After surgery, he really just can't eat and walks away. To clean him up, it's not just a matter of a few planes.

"That's right, look at my brain, then let's make a deal, and this matter will be settled like this, and no one is allowed to talk about it." Zheng Guobang also has an advantage, that is, he has a good temper and has no airs.

Next, everyone discussed the matter of repairing the fence. The outside of the fence must be made of stones, so that it is strong. In case someone uses a gun, it can withstand it. The inside is simply built with bamboo, and then hung with bamboo mats Such as light blocking, breathable and does not take up space.

What Bai Bao meant was that he wanted to take this opportunity to enclose their Shangkan yard. Although the terrain had a slope, it would definitely be possible to get it down with a little more effort.After the incident of the mutated person, everyone also felt more deeply the importance of guarding the home and nursing home, and had no objection to Bai Bao's proposal.

"As for the matter of cooperating with mutants in weaving, let's clarify the distribution now." Everyone is still very concerned about this matter. If it is a matter of attitude to report or not, then weaving is a matter of interest. problem.

"In the beginning, we exchanged wild boars. I caught the wild boars, and the cloth I exchanged would naturally belong to me. However, if anyone can provide silk, three bolts of silk will be exchanged for one bolt of finished cloth." The vitality of silkworm babies is very strong these days. Mulberry leaves also grow well, and it is basically not difficult to raise silkworms. Although spinning takes time, old people and children can do it, and it is not as eye-intensive as weaving. Lighting a fire is enough.

"What about after that?"

"We provide silk for three bolts of cloth, and when they weave two bolts of cloth back, everyone will keep accounts. For every ten bolts of cloth returned, one will be given to Bai Bao and the others, as the carriage fee, and two will be confiscated. This will be discussed by each yard. Come on, I think drawing two horses is suitable, and Bai Bao and the others will go out to run business in the future, and you can ask them to exchange for something." The idea of ​​cooperating with mutants in weaving was proposed by Gao Chang, so he naturally wanted to give it to someone at this time. Opinion.

"That is to say, if you provide thirty bolts of silk, you will eventually be left with fourteen bolts of cloth for your own disposal. This is indeed much easier than weaving by yourself. Moreover, there are no lights in our village, and weaving takes a long time. I'm afraid it will take a long time." It hurt your eyes." As a professional, He Yun also felt that Gao Chang's allocation was quite reasonable.

"Then when can we divide the silkworms?" Although everyone is eating a big pot of rice now, they are very active in accumulating supplies for their families.

"Let's divide it up tomorrow night. There are also mulberry trees. Let's cut some of them as soon as possible. They can be planted against the fence, which can also help to block the light. Uncle Guohong, He Yun and the others are not familiar with our village. The matter of dividing silkworms is a matter of time. It’s up to you when the time comes.” Some people can do the job of dividing things, and some people can’t. He Yun and the others are outsiders, and the daughters-in-law in the village are very concerned about taking advantage. of.

"Success." Zheng Guohong had no objection, although being assigned a task by a junior made him feel a little embarrassed, but Gao Chang's ability and credit are all there, and he has nothing to take Joe at the moment.

It was a particularly long night. When they finished talking, it was almost dawn, and they didn't bother to eat the cooked meals. Chen Yuzhen and the others poured the pig offal in the basin into the pot and heated it again. Everyone They were all tired, so they rushed back to sleep after eating in two or three.

Of the boys who quarreled with Gao Chang at the beginning, two of them didn't come to the table, and I don't know if they were angry or ashamed. Chen Yuzhen made two bowls of pig offal and asked the adults to bring them to the house, but Gao Chang didn't say anything .
