Chapter 753: The funds are in place and it’s time to leave!
"What, Uncle Ge, aren't you going back to the town?"
Hou Yong, who was still lying on the grass and browsing the trading market on the game panel, was stunned.
He was just thinking about whether he could scrape together some by himself at the end of the year, borrow some from Ge Jianan, and add some more loans to bring a decent car back.
This will improve the speed of making money in the wasteland.
But in a blink of an eye, Ge Jianan went down to the hillside for a walk.
He was confused.
Ge Jianan not only wanted to leave, he also left in such a hurry.
And just by looking at his expression, you could tell that something big must have happened to make him so panicked.
“Something has happened in the town these days. I don’t know what it is yet, but Dabao left me a message and summoned me to meet at another place.”
"Little monkey, if you believe me, before entering the town, you must remember to hide the food you earned from working, and then check the situation."
"Also, remember not to act impulsively, and think twice about everything. Then go!”
After a few words of warning, Ge Jianan wanted to say something more.
But in the end, after exchanging contact information, he held back his words and quickly opened the package he carried with him, took out an inconspicuous small box and put it in his arms.
Under the darkness of night, Ge Jianan let out a long sigh, and his figure quickly disappeared.
It was only when Ge Jianan could no longer be seen in his field of vision that Hou Yong came back to his senses, and his numb face suddenly gained energy.
"Unexpected changes. The gathering point of the Ge family is not in the town."
"I was also reminded not to bring food back to the town."
Being able to hold on with my mother in the wasteland By now, Hou Yong is naturally not as honest as he appears.
Many times, he was just used to using this as a cover to cover up his true thoughts.
And the reason why he is so close to Ge Jian'an is because he has been in contact with him for a long time. He knows that the Ge family is full of good people, so they behave like this.
If it were anyone else, Hou Yong would never dare to walk in such a weather.
"No matter what, let's go back and have a look!"
Ge Dabao could take his family to escape outside the town and wait for Ge Jianan, but his mother did not have the foot strength and energy.
Hou Yong’s eyes flashed as he lifted up a snakeskin bag of grain.
He first carefully walked in the opposite direction to Ge Jian'an for more than 40 minutes, and then found a small hole in the ground, carefully hid the grain bag in it, and marked it.
Afterwards, Hou Yong, freed from the restraints of his luggage, ran quickly into the distance and disappeared in just a few minutes.
Half an hour passed
An hour passed.
Near the pothole where the food was hidden, there was still only the hot night wind blowing and a few noisy wild cicadas chirping. .
Suddenly.
A figure suddenly jumped up from the ground. It was none other than Hou Yong, who had been gone for a long time.
"It seems that Uncle Ge didn't lie to me. Something happened in the town!"
Confirm that Ge Jianan was not a trap just because he had some food.
Hou Yong naturally would not suspect that he was just trying to scare people and make fun of him, so he said those warning words.
This time.
Take out about one-fifth of the grain from the grain bag on the ground and put it on your back in another small bag.
Hou Yong did not doubt that he was there and quickly ran towards Longyin Town.
It was one o'clock at night when we got off the train.
When we returned to town, it was early five in the morning.
Looking at the town entrance that was still the same as before, he lay on the ground and waited patiently until the six o'clock curfew was lifted and the gate opened.
Then he took the bag and walked towards the town gate.
“Stop, where did you come from?”
“I am Hou Yong. My home is at No. 5 Longzhao Street. I went out to work and came back.”
“I came back from working. "Looking up and down at Hou Yong's dusty clothes and the grain bag he was carrying, the expressions of the two guards standing at the entrance of the town were restrained, but they still showed obvious joy.
"What is that on your back?"
"It's the food I bought with the money I earned from working outside."
"Food? You said food is food?" The guard standing on the left With a cruel smile, he took the rifle off his back and pointed it at Hou Yong: "The territory has reached a cooperation agreement with Wuya Mansion and will receive material support in the near future. However, there have been many incidents in the past two days. Criminals who want to destroy cooperation."
"Throw your bag over, we have to check it, otherwise"
The guard on the right pulled the bolt of the gun and opened the safety directly. It seemed The kind expression suddenly had an indescribable ferocity.
"Don't shoot, I'll give it to you"
With the gun pointed at him, Hou Yong looked like he was frightened and quickly threw the bag on his back.
The guard on the left did not suspect that he was there, and immediately opened the drawstring on the bag and began to inspect it.
"Huh? Bread, biscuits, corn bran and a bottle of Coke?"
Although there were not many things in the bag, the guard became happy after flipping it a few times. Yong's expression became increasingly unpredictable.
"Okay, there is nothing wrong with you, but there are contraband in these things, we need to check"
"When the inspection is completed, we will naturally notify you to come and collect it"
"What ? Contraband?" Hou Yong's eyes widened in disbelief at such an act of robbery: "How is it possible? I bought it from Wuya Mansion, absolutely not."
" Are you questioning our judgment?" Seeing Hou Yong's voice rising, the guard on the right stepped forward and kicked Hou Yong in the stomach.
But the funny thing is, I don’t know if it’s because of neglecting exercise or because I underestimated the physical fitness of Hou Yong, a farmer.
Not only did he fail to kick this kick, but the rifle in his hand almost flew away.
Seeing this, the guard on the left had no choice but to freeze his eyes and instantly turned on the gun safety: "Squat down and hold your head, otherwise I will shoot!"
"Okay, okay, check things out. , don’t kill me!”
The situation is stronger than the person.
With two guns pointed at his head, Hou Yong didn't dare to fight the guards at the gate of the town, not to mention that he didn't have a gun in his hand.
And when he squatted down, the guard on the right naturally took advantage of his strength and kicked him several times, leaving several large footprints on Hou Yong's body.
“Go away!”
Suppressing the anger in my heart, I finally waited until the contemptuous voice sounded.
Hou Yong breathed a sigh of relief, quickly lowered his head and hurriedly entered the gate and walked into the town.
“Fortunately, there is news about Uncle Ge, otherwise all the materials earned from part-time work will be lost!”
When he reached the corner, Hou Yong turned his head bitterly.
It wasn’t until he had completely remembered the faces of the two guards that he walked back home with a sense of joy that he had survived the disaster.
A hail disaster has passed.
Longyin Town, which was already under development, was undoubtedly made worse.
Not to mention that the houses on the road are full of holes visible to the naked eye. Even the gravel road under your feet is full of potholes.
Most of the buildings that we were familiar with before are now in disrepair and have lost their former charm.
Including some of the "rich people" in the town, they have lost their former wealth and look much poorer.
Walk all the way to Longzhao Street.
Hou Yong saw his mother who had gotten up early in the morning and was busy at the door from a distance, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
When we first traveled to the wasteland, there were originally five people in the Hou family.
Hou's father, Hou's mother, and Hou Yong's two brothers.
But in these eight years, too many changes have happened, and now only mother and son are left dependent on each other.
"Mom, I'm back!"
With a shout, Hou Yong quickened his pace, and soon he saw his "home" that was almost in ruins.
The originally clean courtyard was filled with deep pits the size of basketballs, one after another.
Two of the three houses built of wood have collapsed, and only the main house, which uses more materials, is barely holding on.
However, after getting used to treating the house as a consumable in the past eight years, Hou Yong is not sad.
On the other hand, the waiting mother looked up and down at his empty-handed return and the big footprints on his body that had not been wiped clean. She couldn't help but feel sad, and tears fell down her face like broken strings: "My son, , you are confused, why are you coming back?”
“Mom, I’m fine, they just kicked me a few times, it’s fine!”
The waiting mother is only forty years old. Five, but on the surface he looks as old as an old man in his sixties, with wrinkles all over his face. Hou Yong knew it when he saw her crying, but there were so many people on the street that it was hard to say anything.
I could only drag the waiting mother all the way to the main house in the yard that was about to collapse, and then whispered: "Mom, most of the food I brought back has been hidden, don't worry!"< br>
"Are you hiding?" The waiting mother stopped crying, and her gray eyes suddenly lit up.
But the next second, thinking of the family's reserves being emptied, she cried again: "God has sent a disaster, but the lord wants us ordinary people to use the food that we have worked hard to save for several years. To replenish the emptiness of the territory, the two months of rations that you saved through hard work have been taken away and confiscated. Everything is gone!"
"What, our rations are all gone! Taken away by them?”
Hou Yong was stunned for a moment, and the words Ge Jian'an said before unconsciously echoed in his mind, as well as their previous conversations on the train.
However, the information is too complicated and involves too many aspects.
He didn't have Ge Jian'an's sharp mind. After only a few connections, he felt unable to start.
It can only be vaguely judged based on previous experience that the Dragon Phoenix Territory is probably going to be the same as those small territories that have gone bankrupt, and is almost at the end of the road.
“It’s okay, Mom, I hid enough food for the two of us for a month and a half. It’s enough to escape to other territories!”
"But we don't have any trading points to buy other territorial identities!"
"Well" Hou Yong also felt a little embarrassed when he thought that there were only single-digit trading points left on the game board.
The price of identity in the game panel, even the cheapest territory needs to start at 10 points.
Two people, that’s 20 points.
If the territory is stable, he can collect these points by working hard for three to five months.
But the problem is
"Mom, don't worry, I can borrow enough money to change to a new territory. I definitely can't stay in this Dragon and Phoenix territory."
"But we don't know each other. "
"It's okay. I know Dabao. His father, Ge Jian'an, came back from outside with me. He will definitely lend it to us!" Hou Yong looked at him when he thought of the contact information Ge Jian'an left before leaving. A moment of condensation.
The ants still live in vain.
He could clearly feel that Ge Jianan obviously knew more than him and had more ambitious ideas.
There are also some extremely dangerous elements in the messages conveyed to him from time to time on the train. Extracting them and adding a little bit is called "rebellion"!
In the past, when there was a slight possibility of survival, there were cases where his father and brother risked their lives. He might be tempted and then stay away from such people.
But now, being forced to a dead end, even if he risked his life, he would never choose to continue to sit back and wait for death!
"Mom, you always told me not to imitate my dad and brother, but this time if the opportunity comes, my son will try it no matter what"
"It's done. Not only can we collect enough money to buy a status, but maybe we can also buy a decent car by the end of the year!"
It hits the mark.
On June 26, the eighth year of the last calendar year, it was the third day that Ge Jianan returned to the Dragon Phoenix Territory.
Early morning.
Sumo, who was standing in the backyard, fighting fiercely with Feng Long, suddenly slowed down, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"What?" Feng Long grasped the wooden stick in his hand and stopped.
“He agreed!”
“Who?” Feng Long was startled, but he didn’t expect who would attract Su Mo’s attention.
"Ge Jian'an, the one I interviewed three days ago"
"That weak scholar?" Feng Long curled his lips, threw the stick aside boredly, picked it up and put it on the ground After drinking more than half of the bottle, he said: "Isn't it just a small territory with a few thousand people? Why do you need to spend time on these stupid methods? The special force assigned to you will be in place in two days. , I will personally take them there and destroy them”
In previous years, there were actually quite a few small territories that jumped into the Tianyuan territory.
Some rely on the human non-attack agreement, some rely on the fact that the sky is high and the water is far away, and some are deliberately disgusted by others.
When dealing with these "idiots", everyone in the territory often doesn't pay any attention to them and laughs them off.
But the Dragon Phoenix Territory is different. Their location happens to be stuck on the trade road. If they really become the minions of Wuya Mansion, they will inevitably be in trouble.
This time Feng Long resigned from his post in the Northern Military Region and came here to facilitate this matter.
But before, Feng Long wanted to go to the black market to find some manpower, and give the Dragon Phoenix territory up and down overnight.
After meeting Sumo, I slightly changed my plan.
"It's different. I will take that man to Baoyu County for training in the future. Don't think that he is ordinary now. You may have to call him Mr. Ge in the future."< br>
"Hey, then I have to take a closer look at Master Ge's methods." Feng Long was not angry when Su Mo teased him. Instead, he sat down happily and started bickering.
This scene fell in the eyes of Wang Qian, who was sitting nearby, and even other team members.
Everyone's eyes widened again.
Feng Long, that is the famous killing god in Tianyuan territory.
Everyone is well-known for his fiery temper, his ruthlessness in doing what he says, and his excellent methods.
But after staying with Sumo for these three days, he seemed like an ordinary person who had nothing to do with the world.
The good attitude makes people feel a little unreal!
"Come on, come on, don't stand hungry. The food is on the table. Hurry up and eat!"
"If you have a quick hand, you will have a slow hand!"
Bang the gong, beat the gong. drum.
Sun Quan ran out of the backyard with a ball of food in his mouth that he had not swallowed, and was blowing out streams of hot air.
Sumo said with a smile: "Where is the song you are singing today from?"
"Chef Pei personally prepared the soup stock and made the soup dumplings, which are limited to thirty baskets."
"Whoever runs slower will eat less!"
After saying that, Sun Quan started to run. run.
Looking at his red face, it was obvious that something unexplainable had been added to the soup.
“Let’s go, let Pei Shao cook for you personally, this is the only territory that belongs to you”
At the beginning of the meal, Feng Long was still a little embarrassed.
But after being stared at by Pei Shao's "kind" eyes too much, he decided to risk his life and become a mere mortal.
The second floor of the cafeteria.
Su Mo and Feng Long took the lead, and other members of the Northern Military Region sat on the left and right.
Compared to more than a month ago, pigeons are now leaving in large numbers after the summer harvest.
Not only are the people in Sangtian Town much cooler, but most of the familiar faces who often eat in Zizai Liangfang are gone.
"The soup dumplings are here~"
The witty words sounded, and everyone turned their heads and saw Pei Shao walking quickly in a white chef's uniform and a high hat.
"Master Feng, you have to eat slowly"
"I know, I know, thank you for your hard work, Chef Pei!" Looking at Pei Shao's unkind eyes, Feng Long laughed twice, In an instant, all the team members laughed, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.
After a brief introduction to how to eat it, and a few words about sealing the dragon, Pei Shao left.
“Hiss, it’s delicious!”
Bite the outer skin of the soup dumpling and suck out the extremely sweet soup inside. Somo groaned with satisfaction and felt comfortable all over. Quite a few.
Food is the most important thing for people.
Even in the wasteland, the Chinese people’s pursuit of delicious food is still passed down tirelessly.
If you compare the so-called delicacies in the deep sea world, the latter are just like pig food.
"It's a pity that you won't be able to enjoy it if you go to Baoyu County soon," Feng Long complained vaguely.
“People always have to look up and move forward. There is no point in staying in Sangtian Town all the time. What’s more, the grain business in the town is now single-handedly controlled by Zizailiangfang. Staying here is just waiting for the disaster to approach day by day."
"That's right," Feng Long murmured, "If this continues, I think the name of this Sangtian Town will have to be changed to Zizai Town. Almost?”
“Zizai Town?” Su Mo chuckled: “Isn’t it called Liangfang Town? Wait”
"Huh?"
"It's okay, I just remembered some things from the past." Sumo shook his head and continued to concentrate on eating the soup dumplings.
Although the facts told him that the ruins of Liangfang Town, the first place he entered when he first came to the wasteland, were definitely not related to what he was talking about casually.
The former is a city founded by people from the Yan Kingdom after they came to the wasteland, while the latter is a town that will evolve from his own Tianyuan territory in the future.
But for some reason, Su Mo felt a little weird, and felt like fate was playing tricks on people.
"Forget it, thinking about this illusory thing is not just adding to the troubles"
"Tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow we can raise enough funds and ask Pei Shao to help buy those alloys and start fighting day by day. Created by A!”
Thank you for your monthly support, I will give you word count in these days, I love you~
