As summer approaches, the dawn gets earlier and earlier.A round-headed pumpkin carriage whizzed through the village, attracting envious eyes.

A group of men who got up early to work watched the pumpkin carriage drive away, and the thin Sun Zhu smacked his lips, hinting in his words: "It's really a lot of money to go out this time."

The others echoed one after another, envious in their words, imagining how much they could exchange if they went out by themselves and found something back, and even calculated what they could buy with the money.

They were a working group that went to repair the canal, and they used to work together. They were very familiar with each other, and they were less scruples when talking, and they were not afraid of being laughed at when they daydreamed.

The thought in Sun Zhutou's mind became more and more disturbing, he coughed lightly, and said, "How about, let's rent a car and go out."

The generous rewards of the first search team made everyone envious. Later, someone mentioned that it was unfair that only the escort team could go out.

When this word reached Young Master Xia's ears, he not only didn't look for the nonsense, but directly opened up the policy.Not only the escort team, anyone who wants to go out can do it, and the other conditions are the same as the escort team, first spend money to rent a horse and car, and get [-]% of the harvest.

In addition, there are two more additions. One is that the security team is not responsible for the safety of going out. If an accident requires rescue, the rescue fee must be paid.

Second, if the rented pumpkin carriage and horses are damaged, the relevant expenses must be paid in full.If the renter has an accident and never returns, the debt will be paid by his family.

He even simply put away the iron tree in the middle of the two-story tree wall, and asked someone to install a door on it, so as not to find him to collect the tree again.

As soon as the news was released, the restless villagers became quiet instead. Everyone knew that going out would bring them money back, and everyone knew that it was not safe outside.They just saw that they were getting rich rewards and couldn't help being jealous. When they looked back and thought about it calmly, the little bit of excitement was defeated by reality.

So I watched the second and third search teams go out and bring back more or less supplies. At the least, one person can earn one or two hundred white coins after excluding the cost.

Once or twice, they didn't see any accidents. The most serious one was that someone was slightly injured, so the suppressed thoughts of the villagers began to flood again.

There was a search team yesterday, which was composed of several young men in the village. They rented the smallest pumpkin carriage, and did not dare to go far. They ran through the villages that the previous search teams had raided.

Their plan is that these places will be cleaned up by those who are from the guards. It is relatively safe. The disadvantage is that the harvest will not be much, but if you search carefully and run more places, you should be able to gain.

The idea is correct. The large items that are easy to exchange have been searched away. They only brought back a carload of odds and ends, a few iron kitchen knives, and agricultural tools that a certain family missed. To save space, they removed the handles of the hoes. , only brought back a hoe.

In addition, there were broken iron pots, rotten cloth heads and so on, and even two jars of pickled vegetables. Feng Yanshan held his nose and gave them a quotation, and took a bunch of junk back. pickle.

This group of young people divided the exchanged money into one cent, more than 70 white coins each, and there were some things that could not be exchanged, and they also took one cent back home, all of which could be used.

Although it is not as good as those guards, the income is also quite a lot. The high-income guards in the village are only [-] white coins a day. The money is enough to buy food, enough to feed a family for half a month.

After this time, more people in the village were tempted. Seeing another car leaving this morning, Sun Zhutou, who came out to work, couldn't help but started beating the side drums for the workers, trying to lure them to rent a car together.

All the men who were still imagining just now fell silent for an instant.They are not indifferent, but they just think about it. They are different from the group of young people who dare to take risks. Most of the workers here are middle-aged people in their thirties. They have wives and children at home, and they themselves are the pillars of the family.

Going out to search for supplies can indeed make money, but as long as there is an emergency, how can the whole family live.

Seeing that everyone didn't answer, Sun Zhutou became anxious. Like Tian Dazhuang, he was not as physically fit as his peers since childhood, so he was a little impatient and greedy for success and liked to take shortcuts.

In his opinion, this search team is a good opportunity. The guard team has high requirements on physical fitness. He has no hope. But this search team has no requirements, the key depends on luck.If you are lucky, go out for a month without worrying about food and drink, but if you are not lucky...he believes that his luck will not be so bad, so there is no better way than this.

"Why don't you talk?!" Sun Zhutou persuaded: "Look at those young people, go out to earn our wages for several days, and bring back those old things, can we not compare to them?"

"No, we...at home..." Someone faltered.

Sun Zhutou hurriedly said: "It's just for the family, go out for a trip, and buy everything that is lacking at home. Don't you want to buy some for your dolls to taste the candies, polished rice, pastries and fresh fruits in the store? "

These words were indeed very touching, and there was a bit of hesitation and excitement on the faces of this group of men.

Sun Zhutou hit the rails while it was hot: "I have asked, and the group of young people have said that they just scraped again in the village where the guards went, and they never met two zombies at all."

In fact, we met zombies, but there were only a few of them, and they drove away quickly.Sun Zhutou was afraid of shaking their minds by speaking out, so he kept it secret.

"Then they searched twice, and it's our turn?" someone asked.

After asking this question, he was already thinking about this matter, Sun Zhutou hurriedly said: "The group of young people have only gone to two villages, and there are still others who haven't been there, so we have to do it as soon as possible. It's hard to find things."

Everyone thought it was true, those of them who can come out to work, receive wages every day, and have some savings to some extent, so it is no problem to take them out to pay rent.As long as you do this once and find a big piece, you will be prosperous.

The more they talked, the more excited they became, and with Sun Zhutou fanning the flames inside, the danger was minimized. When they got excited, this group of people wished they could rent a car and go out now.

Only Tian Dazhuang, the shortest and thinnest, kept silent. Sun Zhutou had just finished thinking about what to buy with the money, when he turned his head and saw himself, an old man, busy working without answering a word.

He smiled shyly and approached Tian Dazhuang with his elbow: "Are you going to buy something for the family?"

Tian Dazhuang muffled: "I won't go."

Sun Zhutou stared: "Why, you don't believe in brother?"

The others had already been drawn into a group by him, and they all came to persuade them at the right time.

Tian Dazhuang still bit his teeth to death and did not let go: "I won't go."

The last time he assisted Master Xia in catching the shadow, after the battle, Master Xia fulfilled his promise to reward him, and asked him whether to reward him publicly or privately.

Tian Dazhuang chose to make a fortune in silence, and got a large sum of money from Master Xia. He also said that if someone in the family was injured or needed treatment for a broken limb, he could give him a chance for free treatment.

Tian Dazhuang was very satisfied, needless to say how precious the chance of treatment is, the money alone is enough for him to send all three children in his family to school, and it is also enough for the family to spend.

If he didn't have this money, he might still fight, but since he didn't need to take risks now, he didn't want to gamble on that eventuality.

Besides, Tian Dazhuang vaguely felt that Master Xia didn't seem to support them all in setting up a search team to collect supplies.Although he didn't understand why, he believed that what Young Master Xia objected to must be bad.

So no matter how Sun Zhutou and others tried to persuade him, and even made Sun Zhutou almost turn against him, he refused to agree and refused to go.

So when he was working that day, other people gathered together to discuss while working, and he was the only one who was left alone and ignored.

Tian Dazhuang was unmoved, he got off work at night, and the others went to discuss tomorrow's trip, and he went home alone.

The daughter-in-law asked, and he explained the matter, the daughter-in-law nodded and said, "It's fine if you don't go."

The next day, perhaps because the ordinary people who went out for two consecutive days had no accidents, several groups applied for renting cars and horses today.

Xia Chen only let three pumpkin carriages out, one was rented by Sun Zhutou and the others first, the other two were rented by the search team formed by members of the escort, and the other was rented by the group of young people who went out first , Those who did not rent were downcast.

Sun Zhutou was very proud. When the carriage passed by Tian Dazhuang, who was working alone, he told Tian Dazhuang loudly that he would take him with him next time.

Tian Dazhuang didn't regret it at all, because he was the only one left in their working group, and Meng Mingjun temporarily assigned him to another working group to do it first. It was the same job of repairing canals, and it didn't matter where he did it.

After a long day of work, Tian Dazhuang walked back home chatting with his new co-workers until the end of work at night.

Before he got home, he heard bursts of crying. He was startled and ran towards the source of the crying, and the others also ran there.

I didn't know until I went there that the three search teams that went out today encountered a group of Xiaobo zombies on the way back. They said it was Xiaobo, and there were dozens of them.

The first person I encountered was Sun Zhutou and the others. Two people died at once, and one of his feet was bitten by a zombie. He was unlucky, the zombie virus could not resist, and seeing the toxin spreading, he had to cut off his foot to save his life. .

A few other people were more or less injured, and then the group of young people also ran into it, and one of them also died.If it wasn't for the group of guards who came to rescue them later, the two groups of them might have been completely wiped out.

Even the one with the broken leg was saved by the guards who treated him with the golden sore medicine they carried with them.

The families of the deceased, including their wives, children, and old parents, hugged the dead body and wept until the sky was dark. In order to prevent the bitten dead from turning into zombies, they smashed the heart of the dead body, and now they have to drag it to be burned.

Tian Dazhuang looked at Sun Zhutou, who was covered in blood and limp with dull eyes, from a distance. The others described it similarly. This was probably the closest they were to death.

"Let's go to find Master Xia. He is the one who let people out. We need to give an explanation."

"Yes, go find him!"

Someone in the crowd yelled, and those who lost their loved ones and howled loudly seemed to have found a way out, and immediately someone stood up wiping their tears.

Tian Dazhuang was dumbfounded, and suddenly understood why Young Master Xia let them go out so easily. He looked around and saw that such a big incident happened, and no one in charge of the village came out.

He looked at the families filled with righteous indignation, and slowly took a few steps back. These people are miserable, but their actions will only push him to a dead end.
