survival in the wilderness

Seeing that the alliance leader did not hold him accountable, Rong Dashan slowly relaxed and accompanied him to inspect.

Everyone who works knows Rong Dashan, but very few people have met the leader.

While everyone was working, they asked Rong Dashan where the two new people were headed.

Since the road construction, leaders have come to inspect the progress every one or two days, and everyone is used to it.

How could Rong Dashan dare to reveal the identity of the alliance leader? He smiled and told them to work hard.

Lin Yanxiao watched them talking, smiling and saying nothing.In fact, from the interactions between Rong Dashan and the workers, we can see that although they work hard, they are very motivated. It can be seen that as long as they can earn money to improve their lives, they have endless energy.

One of the young girls in their 20s attracted Lin Yan's attention. Almost all the people who came out to do coolies were men, and there were some women, but not many.

The girl obviously didn't look like a woman, and she stood out among a group of men. She didn't look strong, but she was very efficient at carrying stones and other heavy tasks, and she was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Lin Yan walked up to the girl and said with a smile: "How old is the girl? How can she do hard labor?"

Nowadays, cities are relatively stable and there are many ways to make a living. Women who work as coolies are definitely an exception.

Tangning, who had just poured a shovelful of gravel into the carriage, froze up. She was the most conspicuous person in the team, and she always came over to ask questions whenever a leader came.

Looking up, the woman in front of her had a smile on her face, giving off a very friendly feeling. Tangning relaxed and replied, "21 years old. I came to work as a coolie because I want to make a living and support myself."

"From what the girl said, she has an unusual background. What is her name? Can you talk to me?" Lin Yan continued to ask with a smile.

Conversation is a temperament that is difficult to conceal. Once this girl opens her mouth, she does not look like a member of the lower class.It seems like there's a story behind it.She happens to have nothing to do at the moment and can learn more about her.

Tangning glanced at Lin Yan in surprise. Everyone here knew about her situation, so why did someone ask her in person?

Although she thought so in her heart, she still said honestly: "My name is Tangning. I come from Anping County, Anzhou. My family used to have a small amount of assets. Later, the family business collapsed and I was the only one left."

Anping County was called Anping City before the alliance unified it, with a population of more than [-]. The name was changed when the alliance reorganized the area and named it.

Tang Ning was born into a top aristocratic family in Anping County. When Anping County changed, the people who had been bullied by the Tang family came to power. The Tang family ended up miserable, leaving her alone.

In Anping County, her name was known to everyone, and everyone used her as a punching bag. She was bullied and struggled to survive.

Despite this, Tangning is still clinging to life. She firmly believes that only by living can there be hope, and that it is better to live than to die.The Tang family is gone, and she is the only one left. She has to live for so many family members who have died.

Relying on this belief, she struggled in Anping County.She was very moved by the previous waves of immigration, but was blocked every time. Those people wanted her to stay in Anping County and suffer humiliation.

This time the road construction workers were recruited to work as coolies. Maybe those people wanted to see her suffer, so she successfully passed the registration and finally left Anping County.

Lin Yan stared at her and said, "So, you came to build the road because you want to leave Anping County?"

There are many people like Tang Ning, but most of them choose to compromise or even give up their lives.It's rare to find someone as unyielding as she is.

Now that he has encountered it, Lin Yan will not turn a blind eye.Tangning nodded, "I can earn money by building roads and support myself. If I have the chance to leave, of course it would be best."

"Then what do you want to do after you leave? Life is so hard and you are struggling to survive. Is there anything in particular you want to do?"

Tangning was confused for a moment. She had been working hard to stay alive in the past few years. Living was her obsession.She shook her head, "I don't know."

"You can think about it."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, she turned around and left. She found Rong Dashan and asked everything about Tangning.

Rong Dashan looked at the leader's face, unable to tell anything, and said carefully: "Tangning is also a poor person. The people from Anping County bullied her, so I separated them because I couldn't stand it. I thought, she is a girl. , It’s not easy for a young person to do hard work, so I just want to take care of him a little bit."

Lin Yan chuckled lightly, "I can tell. In your team, there is Ma Xiaoshi and Tang Ning. It shows that you are really a soft-hearted person and don't want to see the weak and suffering people."

"That's right, life is getting better now, and it would be great if I could help." Rong Dashan looked like he had found a confidant, "Leader, I also lived a hard life without enough food to eat and no clothes to wear. Seeing them, I always think of my past, how nice it would be if someone could help me.”

"They are all poor people. When I encounter someone who wants to help others, it is a small thing for me, but it is a big thing for them. I just thought that if I can't do big things like you, the leader, I can still do some small things to help a few people. People still need to have a kind heart. Leader, you have a heart for all people, and we must learn more from you."

Looking at Rong Dashan's honest face, Lin Yan suddenly felt that he was extraordinary.

"You did the right thing and will continue to work hard in the future. It is because of people like you that the alliance can become better because everyone helps each other."

Human nature has many faces, and there are many selfish people. This is a characteristic of human nature.Lin Yan never expected everyone to be kind, proactive, and willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the alliance.

She can only do her best and do what she thinks is right.Create a stable living environment for the people of the alliance so that everyone can live a better life.

Today, when the wasteland is unified, once the territory is established, it must be managed well and cannot be snatched away by others.

Rong Dashan was so excited that he was sweating all over. The alliance leader praised him and recognized his actions. This was worth more than anything else.

Yun Ying looked at the old man's happy expression and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.Looking at the alliance leader, just a casual word can change a lot.

After Rong Dashan left, she said: "Leader, Tangning has a different status. If she gets official support, others may be dissatisfied."

"The Alliance advocates equality for everyone. They are all citizens of the Alliance. Since they survived the Great Purge, they should be treated equally." It's not like Lin Yan hasn't thought about this issue.

Although several years have passed, people with bad backgrounds like Tang Ning in Anzhou and Yongzhou are always treated differently. As time goes by, the atmosphere has evolved into a worse one. Their hatred and prejudice cannot be eliminated. In the future, they will only More difficult to deal with.This is a legacy issue and it will take time to completely resolve it.

"Yun Ying, you were born in Sun City and have never experienced life like theirs. There are many people like Tangning who are struggling desperately to stay alive. The darkness at the bottom has always been there, which goes against the original intention of the alliance."

"The alliance leader is far-sighted, I was wrong. Tangning has a strong will, but it's a pity that she is a little older, otherwise such people would be the military's favorite."

Lin Yan shook his head, "Tangning's status means that she cannot become a soldier, so she has to find another way out. In fact, the best way is to let them immigrate to a new place and start over."

The policy is good, but there will always be various obstacles when it is implemented.
