Chapter 7 Disaster Begins at Xiao Qiang
The next day, just as the sky was dawn, Xiao Yu took Wu Xiaoyu, Wu Xiaozhu and Agen Chu Yunpeng out of the building and walked out of the address provided by Kuang Jianhua.
Taking Chu Yunpeng with him was to pay attention to whether there were people who were about to awaken. These days, the God-given person is an important resource. If you can hold the God-given person in your hands, you can gradually grow and grow.
Therefore, even the Tianci family of the survival base began to recruit various Tianci people. But they could only wait for ordinary people to awaken the Tianci people before they began to win over. This is the icing on the cake and cannot make the Tianci people truly grateful.
With Chu Yunpeng's existence, Xiao Yu can win over them before they awaken. This is a timely help. It will be easier to gain the loyalty of the God-given person.
Xiao Yu walked along the way and observed: the area where Kuang Jianhua and others lived was a very simple settlement, and a row of wooden houses built along the river looked crumbling and dilapidated.
In fact, the living environment of people living along the river is not good and the conditions are generally very simple. The buildings far away from the river are much better than their housing.
The advantage of living along the river is that it is much safer, because there are many people and because it is close to the river, wild beasts dare not approach them. The buildings in the distance are often visited by wild beasts, and most people dare not move in.
Xiao Yu and others were attacked by several small beasts last night, all of which were shot dead and turned into breakfast.
As soon as Xiao Yu and the other four appeared, they also attracted a lot of attention, especially Wu Xiaoyu and Wu Xiaozhu. Although they were all covered in veils, they were even more attention-giving.
Most of the residents along the river are ordinary people. It is early in the morning, but they all woke up. They carried water, laundry, fire, and cooking. Widths of smoke began to emerge from many settlements.
Along the way, many children with disheveled hair were dark and thin, but were looking for something on the ground. They cheered from time to time.
Xiao Yu looked at it intently, but saw them catching ants, grasshoppers and other small insects on the ground. After they caught them, they pinched them to death and then quickly sent them to their mouths to fill their stomachs.
If the movement is not fast enough, other children will come and fight hard. Everyone will start to fight until they are eaten by a child and the others will not leave unwillingly.
The adults washed some wild grass and wild vegetables, with sparse rice grains, small fish and shrimps occasionally caught from the river, and the beast flesh obtained from hunting, and cooked a pot of hodgepodge, adding half a bowl of soup to each person, and occasionally one or two rice grains can be seen.
The flesh and rice are given priority to the young and strong labor in the tribe, and they are the main force in hunting. As for women, children and the elderly, they are just barely able to survive.
"Oh, there are fewer and fewer prey that can be captured, and this life is getting harder!" An old man sighed, took a sip of earthy smoke made from dry leaves, and the wrinkles on his face were deep.
"That's right, third uncle," a middle-aged woman waving the net in the river responded, "The fish and shrimp are all gone, God will not give us ordinary people a way out!"
...
The lives of residents in Yanjiang City are very difficult, but compared with Baishui City, where dangerous poisonous insects and beasts are everywhere, it is very comfortable. At least, most people don’t have to worry about being bitten to death by wild animals the next moment.
Moreover, it was difficult for most of them to wake up. Along the way, Chu Yunpeng shook his head repeatedly and did not see anyone who could wake up.
Whether a person can awaken is difficult to say, and it has nothing to do with IQ, EQ, Body, Power and Status, etc., it depends entirely on their own luck.
When he reached the Xinjian tribe, Kuang Jianhua was standing on tiptoe and saw Xiao Yu and the other two from afar, he came up happily.
"Pack up your things and take us to see the valley you mentioned." Xiao Yu said.
Kuang Jianhua nodded first, then hesitated and said, "Little brother, today is the deadline given by Wei Liancheng. Today I am coming to grab people. Look, this..."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Okay, let's stay here first, and then go to the valley after we have finished dealing with Wei Liancheng's affairs!"
Kuang Jianhua was happy when he heard this and nodded quickly. However, after looking at the five people around Xiao Yu, he couldn't help but feel a little worried and said, "Little brother, Wei Liancheng has thousands of people and hundreds of people holding guns. Do you think you should call more people?"
"It's okay!" Xiao Yu waved his hand, "Take me to your tribe and have a look!"
Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Jianhua dared not say anything, and took Xiao Yu to start wandering around his tribe.
Not only Jianhua's tribe is small, with about 200 people, crowded in two three-story buildings. Most of them are old, young and weak, while young and middle-aged people account for only 20%.
Xiao Yu also saw Kuang Jianhua's daughter, who was not very old, only at the age of seventeen or eighteen, with a lot of plaster on her face, and she couldn't see her true face clearly.
It is said that Wei Liancheng happened to meet a girl washing her face by the river, and happened to see the girl's true face, which led to a series of subsequent events.
With Xiao Yu's ability to synchronize, she clearly found that she has a good body and facial features. She is also young and charming, and she is a girl with vitality.
I think my true face is not bad, otherwise it would not attract Wei Liancheng's attention.
The girl's name is Kuang Yihuang, with a quiet manner and was helping her mother cook. When she met Xiao Yu, she lowered her eyes and chose the wild vegetables on her hand.
Xiao Yu didn't pay much attention to Kuang Yihuang, but Chu Yunpeng suddenly stood still and stared at Kuang Yihuang's back for a long time.
Xiao Yu's heart moved. Once Chu Yunpeng did this, it was very likely that he had discovered the girl's awakening potential.
A minute later, Chu Yunpeng withdrew his gaze, made an OK gesture at Xiao Yu, and said, "Wind Power!"
After hearing these three words, Xiao Yu immediately realized that Chu Yunpeng's words meant that the girl might be awakened and become a god-given person, and her ability was the ability of the wind.
This is a rare ability. So far, Xiao Yu has never seen anyone awaken his ability to wind.
Chu Yunpeng stopped and looked at Kuang Yihuang, and then whispered with Xiao Yu, which made Kuang Jianhua feel a little panicked. Don’t these two people come for her daughter, right?
Xiao Yu saw Kuang Jianhua's expression and patted Kuang's shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, we will protect your daughter carefully! Let's go and see the others."
After hearing this, Kuang Jianhua felt a little relieved and took Xiao Yu to continue walking. Kuang Jianhua didn't understand why Xiao Yu wanted to see everyone in the newly established tribe. It was just that Xiao Yu asked this, so he did this.
After Xiao Yu and his friends left, Kuang Yihuang, who had been looking down at the vegetables, raised her head and looked at the backs of Xiao Yu and his friends in a daze. She remained motionless for a long time and did not notice that the wild vegetables in her hand had been broken into pieces by her.
Others were also secretly paying attention and talking: "Oh, do you think the people Lao Kuang is looking for can do it?"
"I think it's so bad! Who is Wei Liancheng? He has more than 100 guns under his command! Besides, there are also Siberian tigers on his back, so he will be afraid of a few small outsiders."
"Didn't it mean that even Zhao Hongcheng, who was watching the bridge, was afraid of currying favor with them? Otherwise, can Lao Kuang put his mind on them?"
"Oh, this is nonsense, that's just a rumor. Do you understand the rumors? These days, the rumors are flying all over the world. How many are true? I think Lao Kuang's nonsense this time will probably have to pay our lives! Wei Liancheng killed people without blinking, and did not spit out bones when eating meat."
"What should I do? It's all about this."
"Tell me, let's all work together to persuade Lao Kuang and ask him to hand over Yihuang. This is the best way. Not only can he eliminate a bloody disaster, but he can also curry favor with Wei Liancheng. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
"Can Lao Kuang agree? That's his girl. He can watch her jump into the fire pit. I heard that Wei Liancheng is perverted. The woman who fell into his hands was tortured to death!"
"And that's also a rumor. Do you understand the rumors? I guess, if this phoenix enters Wei Liancheng's place, it might be a good thing. She looks pretty good. Besides, the woman Wei Liancheng likes, can he run away?
Is resistance useful? I think it’s so hard for those five people just now.
No, we must persuade Lao Kuang. If he doesn't do it well and angers Wei Liancheng, he will have to kill us!"
...
"You want me to hand over my daughter to Wei Liancheng? It's absolutely not possible!" Kuang Jianhua looked at the people in front of him with a very ugly expression.
"Lao Kuang, this is not your own business," a fat middle-aged man walked out and said with a smile without a smile. "This is related to the life and death of the 200 people in our tribe. You can't act irritably!"
"You, old fat!" Kuang Jianhua shivered in anger, "If you want to curry favor with Wei Liancheng, you will push my girl to death? If it weren't for you that day, how could my girl be attracted to Wei Liancheng?"
The old fat man's face darkened when he heard this: "Old Kuang, you have to figure it out that I saved everyone's lives. If it weren't for Wei Liancheng and I, Wei Liancheng, could have said a few more words, not only the prey we were robbed that day, but everyone would be killed. What life would he have to come back?
Besides, this is not about Yihuang going to die. After following Wei Liancheng, I just soared into the sky and a golden phoenix flew out of the chicken coop. Otherwise, I would die sooner or later.
You are determined to seek death, do we 200 people still want to live?"
Lao Pang's words seemed to resonate, and the onlookers began to persuade: "Lao Kuang, Lao Pang's words are also right. I think we will accept this matter. Whose daughter in the east also followed Wei Liancheng? I saw her the day before yesterday and she was alive!"
"That's right, Lao Kuang, listen to Lao Fatty, that's right!"
...
"You, you..." Kuang Jianhua looked at the residents of the tribe who were supported by him. Listening to their persuasion, he suddenly felt the earth shake. He pointed at these people and wanted to say something, but had nothing to say.
"Are you still humans?" A woman suddenly rushed out and shouted, "If Lao Kuang had not been working hard these days and was trying hard to take you to hunt animals, would you live?"
Now, besides things, I have to fight alone. The girl in the east is alive, but is there any person who is tortured?
You just speak against your conscience, you, you..."
Xiao Yu stood quietly behind Lao Kuang and said nothing. Instead, Chu Yunpeng approached him and whispered: "This old fat man seems to have been bribed by Wei Liancheng and became a lobbyist!"
Xiao Yu nodded. If he had not appeared, the fate of Jianhua's family would probably be very miserable.
But now, since he has been involved, things will not end so simply.
Chapter completed!
