As the bandits gathered here, the originally desolate refugee settlement suddenly seemed to be a little more lively.
Although some bandits went to the refugees' homes and stole dried corn cobs, the refugees didn't say anything when they found out. However, Ren Xiaosu beat the guy hard and even drained his bullets. It was confiscated.
The refugees also advised Ren Xiaosu not to be so harsh, which made the bandit who was beaten extremely ashamed.
Afterwards, this kind of thing never happened again.
However, there were some people among the refugees who bullied other refugees, going to other people's houses like a gangster every day, but Jin Lan and the others couldn't stand it and beat up these gangsters. Then he was taken to a gang of bandits to be reformed...
It was okay for these bastards to bully the refugees, but bullying the bandits was something that was unthinkable.
Brick and stone houses are rising from the ground. The bandits are full of strength and work very quickly.
Ren Xiaosu watched Xu Jinyuan directing the construction of a house. There was a female refugee next to him who looked at this guy affectionately. He turned to Yang Xiaojin and said, "He is the group of people you said had problems before. One of them?"
"Yes," Yang Xiaojin nodded: "But it seems that there is no evil intention."
Before, Yang Xiaojin was still wondering whether this group of people would cause trouble. As for Mozi, she had been secretly observing these people. At that time, she was wondering why Ren Xiaosu wasn't worried, but she found that her worries were unnecessary.
Looking at Xu Jinyuan, he is looking forward to exchanging bullets every day.
This time, they built twelve houses in one breath. In this desolate wasteland, brick houses finally rose up again. Ren Xiaosu looked at all this with a complicated feeling in his heart. I feel that those solid brick houses seem to symbolize the continuation of human civilization.
Each house is about 28 square meters. A house requires about 1,900 bricks and can accommodate more than ten people.
Although the house is still a little small compared to their number, the bricks in the second kiln have begun to be burned and will be taken out in two days to continue building houses.
Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng even boasted to the refugees yesterday, saying they would give everyone a house to live in.
Ren Xiaosu asked him with a smile: "When you have saved enough bullets, will you still build a house?"
Jin Lan said embarrassedly: "You can't look at my fellow villagers. Let’s continue living in cave dwellings. There are still so many children. Living in cave dwellings is very humid and is not good for their health.”
Zhang Yiheng continued: “We can also build schools and factories... ..."
Ren Xiaosu was happy: "Build a damn factory, we don't have the skills to build a factory."
"What if we have one in the future," Zhang Yiheng muttered.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu walked towards the newly completed brick and stone houses. He asked Jin Lan: "Count how many bullets everyone has?"
It was already long before the bandits started working. In about twenty days, many people should have accumulated enough bullets. Jin Lan counted for a long time and came back scratching his head and said: "BecauseBecause new brothers joined some time ago, we evened out a lot of bullets for them, so each person still has about two or three to go. It should be enough for everyone to make adobes for another day tomorrow. ”
It is indeed because the new bandits have slowed down everyone’s progress. Otherwise, including some additional costs of moving bricks, mixing clay, and sowing seeds, these bandits should have saved enough bullets long ago. .
Fortunately, no new bandits have joined recently, and the number has been reduced to about four hundred. Of course, there are some who have escaped, but very few.
Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin said. , there should be bandit forces from the north going south, otherwise they wouldn't have had a new bandit come here for more than ten days.
So I'm afraid what they will face next is friction with the northern forces. Look. Let's see who can defeat whom.
Only at this moment will Yang Xiaojin remember that they are here to suppress bandits...
But now is not the time to think about this. Ren Xiaosu smiled and said: "You haven't counted the bullets for building the house today. I said before that each person involved in building the house will get 15 bullets. We will do what we say." ”
As he said that, Jin Lan and the others suddenly became excited. After more than twenty days of hard work, their efforts are finally coming to fruition!
If Ren Xiaosu had returned the gun from the beginning. They, they will definitely not be excited, because those firearms are theirs and were given to them for free by other forces.
But it is different now. Saving up a hundred bullets to exchange for firearms is like a kind of thing. Like honor, the reason they were excited was not the gun, but the qualification to hold a gun in this settlement.
As if this qualification was worth thousands of gold, the money they used to rob caravans. They were not so happy, and they were not as proud as they are today, because they had earned it with their sweat.
Ren Xiaosu asked Jin Lan to bring the weapons over: "Get these guns and prepare them. What to do? "
Jin Lan said excitedly: "Robbery, with hundreds of us so united, we can definitely sweep across the entire south! "
Jin Lan did not speak too loudly. After all, there are several groups of bandits in the north that are very fierce.
Ren Xiaosu was silent for a moment, then he pointed at the refugees who were watching them and said :"robbery? Rob them? "
The refugees who were watching were stunned for a moment after hearing this. Jin Lan quickly explained: "Why should we rob you if we don't rob you. "
"But there are many people like them," Ren Xiaosu said, "They also have children and wives. "
At this time Xu Jinyuan asked doubtfully: "Then what are we doing with guns? "
"Protect them," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile. He pointed at the female refugee who hooked up with Xu Jinyuan every day and said, "Protect Xiaocui, protect the villagers, and protect the family. "
Xu Jinyuan stopped talking. Xiaocui looked at him shyly outside...
Ren Xiaosu picked up a gun and handed it to Xu Jinyuan with both hands: "Take this gun. Gun, we are a family, a warFriends are brothers and family. "
Xu Jinyuan took the gun coquettishly, followed by Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng who looked excited.
They held the black and cold firearms, and just As if holding a treasure, Jin Lan said to the villagers: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, no bandits can rob you! ”
Yang Xiaojin watched all this silently from the side, looking at the young man who was like the protagonist in the center of the stage. She once said that it is difficult for a group of bandits to find faith, and it would be good if they could unite.
p>
But unexpectedly, in just over twenty days, a collective concept has quietly formed, and a belief in "guarding" has quietly emerged.
No. What a grand feeling for family and country. The belief that Ren Xiaosu conveyed to the bandits was to protect his property, his family, and his friends. Everything was done from a self-interested perspective.
No need. To maintain world peace or something like that has nothing to do with them.
Of course, the strength, will and belief of this group are just a small seed.
If we really leave Ren Xiaosu as a powerful individual and the rope that maintains them, they will probably fall apart soon and go their separate ways
Or they may encounter a strong enemy now. He could defeat them quickly
But Yang Xiaojin felt that it was amazing that Ren Xiaosu could bury this seed.
