Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 24 024
Mu Yu thought that one day, sooner or later, he would sit down and have a serious exchange with Boss Zhao, but he never thought that this day would come so soon.

However, strictly speaking, the person Zhao Boss communicated with was actually Yang Erlang who was sitting beside her, and she was just passing it along.

"Yang Er, you have heard about the group of beggars in Beishan who cannibalize people. They have become more and more crazy these days, and they have kidnapped several little beggars."

"Ah."

"People in Dongjie want us to partner up to deal with Beishan, which is good for us, and I want to lead people to do it.

Those who go with me can get porridge from the porridge shed on the East Street, and they don't have to worry about two meals a day.

Yang Er, I am very optimistic about you and regard you as a brother.

I was not angry when someone came to you before, but you refused, and now I have come in person.

Don't rush to answer, just think about it. "

As he said that, Boss Zhao's eyes shifted from Yang Erlang to Mu Yu, with an unclear expression.

These words made Yang Erlang who was about to refuse paused, after thinking for a while, he hesitated and turned his head to look at Mu Yu.

Mu Yu understands that in fact, Yang Erlang, like himself, is a very "independent" person, it is difficult to trust others, and it is very contradictory to cooperate with strangers to form a relationship.

Most of the time, they are unknown, and they don't want to stand out and become the center of attention, unless it is to achieve their goals or endanger their own interests.

The cannibalism of beggars in Beishan is indeed very bad.

From a large perspective, cannibalism is unacceptable to human beings with a conscience. From a small perspective, they may become the prey of beggars in Beishan, or they may be angered by the people in the city.

If they are left alone, they may be able to survive alone in a short period of time, but it will definitely bring them a devastating blow in the long run.

If you manage it, it may not be able to play a big role.

But in any case, what should be tried is still to be done.

If it succeeds, then this crisis will be resolved.

In case of failure, there is no loss.

Mu Yu thought for a while, then nodded slightly to Yang Erlang.

Yang Erlang's eyes became firmer, he looked at Boss Zhao,

"I will go."

Boss Zhao laughed and nodded, as if he had expected this to happen, looked at the two of them and said,

"You can move to live with us in the east house, and I will leave a place and a bed for you.

The east room is full of brothers, so there is nothing to worry about.

If you still find it inconvenient, after a while, the small firewood shed on Bijiaoer can be vacated for the two of you. "

Boss Zhao smiled ambiguously.

Mu Yu understood what Boss Zhao meant, and while he was speechless, he also realized that this was an opportunity.

Moving into the place where Boss Zhao and his confidants lived was not a great benefit for them, but moving into a separate room was definitely a great benefit.

She was indeed fed up with Xi Tianlu sleeping with so many people in the same room without a door.

In less than a month, she felt that she was a little mentally weak.

However, the meaning of Boss Zhao's words is already very clear, they can be allowed to live in the hut, but it is not that easy, and Yang Erlang needs to submit a nomination certificate.

A certificate of nomination to become a member of Big Brother Zhao.

She looked at Yang Erlang, who looked dazed and didn't understand the teasing meaning in Boss Zhao's words, and sighed helplessly in her heart, if only she was the person Boss Zhao was looking for.

She can make decisions for herself, but not for Yang Erlang.

Yang Erlang felt that what Boss Zhao said was a bit inexplicable, but he didn't have any guesses about the direction, so he said,

"There's no need to move to the east house, we'll just move to the firewood house when the time comes."

Boss Zhao thought he was anxious about it, so he just said meaningfully,
"You are still young, don't be too anxious about this kind of thing, there is still time in the future."

In the end, he told Yang Erlang to go to Dongjie with them tomorrow morning, then got up and left.

Mu Yu didn't say much all the time, and went outside the ruined temple with Yang Erlang to cook bran and eat it. When the bran was almost cooked, he asked Yang Erlang what he thought.

Yang Erlang's expression was calm,
"Just go."

"You... think about yourself more, I don't care..."

Yang Erlang added firewood to the pot and said,
"I don't want to have too much contact with them, but in the current situation I don't have the option to refuse at all.

In fact, there is no need to refuse, I also want to have a separate hut, and I also want to have other ways of living. "

Then, his voice became much softer,

"The drought is severe. This year is not as good as in previous years. We can't get food by working hard or begging. The rumors of cannibalism made it worse, and we were expelled.

If things go on like this, starvation will happen sooner or later.

Worse, we may be food for others before we starve to death. "

The bran porridge in the clay pot was bubbling and steaming, but the atmosphere between the two of them was down to freezing point.

Mu Yu first recovered from the terrible idea, patted Yang Erlang's shoulder, and said,
"And me.

We can't die of starvation by eating weeds. If the situation really gets that bad, we'll find a deserted rural mountain village to stay together, and come out in three to five or ten years. "

Yang Erlang looked up at her, his bright black eyes were full of moving light, as if the lost spirit had returned a bit.

……

Early the next morning, Mu Yu told Yang Erlang to pay attention to safety, and then watched him follow Boss Zhao and his party to leave the ruined temple and head towards the East Street.

She stayed in the ruined temple to recuperate from her injuries. She planned to lie down and pretend to sleep to grow weeds in the mustard space or count the germinated rice, but she didn't expect that several people would come to ask about trading weeds.

She told these people one by one that it would take another two or three days for the injury on her foot to heal before pulling out the weeds. She also told these people that if they had any intention of making a deal, they had better tell her one day in advance, so that she was ready. Enough weeds, these people agreed.

In the evening Yang Erlang came back with steamed buns, and the two drank porridge and ate steamed buns.

Yang Erlang told her about his experience on Dongjie that day,

"Boss Zhao will not let his own people take risks, we are just driving away those lunatics on the North Mountain with the people of Dongjie, and we will not be left alone.

Those lunatics only dare to attack the old and weak children who are alone, and they dare not confront us, so they are not dangerous.

We have porridge and steamed buns to eat, which is a good job. "

After hearing this, Mu Yu relaxed. "That's good."

"You also pay attention to safety."

Yang Erlang warned, "There are also thin and single women who were taken away by them."

Mu Yu smiled with confidence in his eyes,
"Don't worry, I went south to the river depression to find weeds, not to the north.

And, I'll be very careful. "

Yang Erlang thought for a while, it seemed that this was indeed the case, but he always felt that something was weird.

Mu Yu didn't answer his doubts, just lowered his head and worked hard on the rice.

Another two days passed, her foot recovered, and the stalled transaction resumed.

On this day, she had 92 weeds for sale.
