There were a dozen ragged children, the youngest of whom was about eight years old and the oldest twelve.
Their eyes were fixed on a man walking in from the door.
Four or five people came in behind the man, pushing a trolley.
The third uncle's eyes looked at these children with a maturity and fierceness that did not suit his age.
Like little wolf cubs.
Among the crowd, there was a little girl whose eyes lit up when she saw Third Uncle.
This little girl is none other than Zhang Qun, who was brought in by her third uncle three days ago.
There isn't much problem with my body, it's just that I'm too weak and have a fever due to the cold.
It took three or two days to get better, and then he was sent here.
The third uncle waved his hand and motioned to Lao Xie behind him to send the things over.
The clothes are trimmed from adult clothes to fit their body size.
These children all looked at Lao Xie who came over with some vigilance. One of the boys even took two steps back and seemed to be holding something in his hand.
Lao Xie looked at it with his peripheral vision and saw that what he was holding in his hand was a sharpened stone.
But he didn't care.
Distribute these clothes to these children one by one.
Then she asked Su Qian to push the food in.
Inside were boiled millet porridge, steamed buns and some meat.
Smelling the rich aroma, these children swallowed their saliva and stared straight at the big bucket.
Su Qian took out a stack of plates and basins and gave each of them a portion.
One of the little boys started eating the food without any hesitation after getting it.
But no one else moved, but looked at Third Uncle and the others.
"Here's food for you! Eat it." The third uncle said calmly, focusing his attention on the first little boy.
The words just fell.
Immediately, another child picked up the food and ate it with big mouthfuls, without any image at all, devouring it as if he had never eaten in several lifetimes.
Seeing these two people eating, a few more children couldn't help but started eating like crazy.
The third uncle watched this scene quietly. There were four people left who had not eaten. They tried their best to restrain their desire for food.
Although they want to eat, they also know very well that there is no free lunch in this world.
They didn't dare to eat until they figured out what the group of people in front of them wanted to do.
I am even more worried about whether the food may be poisonous.
Zhang Qun didn't hesitate. When her third uncle said let's eat, she immediately picked it up and ate it.
Because she knew that her third uncle could not harm her.
Seeing that the remaining four children were not eating, the third uncle did not try to persuade him. Instead, he moved a stool and sat quietly in front of them, watching them eat.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and smoked slowly.
He also quietly observed these children.
The third uncle has a very good eye and can see a lot from the details.
One of the little boys was the first to pick up the food and eat it.
There seemed to be no hesitation at all.
This is somewhat interesting.
This is a very smart approach.
How could anyone who has survived to this day not be vigilant?
But the little boy started eating even when his third uncle didn't order him to eat.
This shows that this little boy is very courageous.
And smart enough.
He was rashly taken into a strange place like an oil city, given a piece of food, and ate it without saying a word.
On the surface, he looks like a reckless man, but how could a reckless man survive to this day?
There is only one possibility, and that is to know enough about oneself to know that if Uncle San wants to harm them, he does not need to use this method.
I couldn't resist Third Uncle and the others at all.
They come, the security.
Instead of worrying about finding a reason to let them in, it is better to eat something first to replenish your strength.
Maintaining the status quo.
The second child is also the focus of the third uncle's attention.
obedient.
Those few children who refuse to eat at the end are not the best seedlings.
It is an unwise decision to maintain a resistance reaction when one's own strength is unable to resist.
These thoughts just flashed through the mind of the third uncle.
It was just his guess.
He smoked quietly and watched them finish eating slowly.
The last three children, seeing their companions eating, couldn't bear it anymore and quickly picked up the food and started eating like crazy.
There was only one little girl who looked directly at the third uncle and never turned her eyes to the food.
The little boy who ate first was the first to finish. After eating, he changed into the clothes Lao Xie had just given him without hesitation.
Then sit on the ground and rest.
A few minutes later.
Wait until all the children have finished eating except the little girl.
The third uncle looked at the little girl with doubtful eyes and asked:
"Why don't you eat?"
After hearing this question, the little girl swallowed her saliva and her voice was clear.
"Eat later."
After saying that, she put away the food and put the pieces of meat and steamed buns directly into her arms.
Third uncle: "..."
This was an answer he didn't expect.
So he asked with some curiosity: "Why do you have to eat it later?"
The little girl didn't hesitate and said directly:
"First, I am afraid that there is something wrong with the food. Second, I am afraid that you will ask me to do something I don't want to do. Third, eating too much at one time is not good for my health, and what if there is no more food later."
The third uncle raised the corner of his mouth and said, "What's your name?"
"I don't remember." The little girl said nonchalantly.
The third uncle pondered for a few seconds and said nothing more.
Instead, he looked at the little boy who ate the food first and asked:
"Why did you eat it without hesitation?"
The little boy said nonchalantly:
"I'm hungry. Since you brought me here, you won't get anything if you don't eat."
“What if it’s poisonous?”
"No need."
"What if I ask you to do something?"
"That's better."
"What if I ask you to do something you don't want to do?"
"If you can have something to eat, there's nothing I can't do. Uncle, if you give me two more pieces of meat, I can do anything."
The third uncle looked at this unruly boy and smiled.
This guy doesn't have a high moral bottom line, but he has a wild streak.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It can be used, it can be used a lot. But it needs to be properly adjusted before it can be used.
Otherwise, it will easily backfire.
But the girl who put away the food at the end was even more interesting.
Smart yet alert, able to restrain desires, but able to leave a way out for himself.
"May I have your name?"
"Zhao Ergou." The little boy replied.
The third uncle looked at him and knew that this name was definitely not his real name, but it didn't matter now.
Get up. Stand up.
In front of them, he said:
"From today on, you have a chance to have a new life."
Looking at the name booklet in his hand, the names, ages, heights, and weights of these children are written on it.
The third uncle continued:
"I have food to eat and warm clothes to wear every day."
"But what you will have to pay is that from today on you will forget your names, be loyal to the city lord, and do whatever you are told."
"Remember, do whatever you are told, and do not disobey orders!"
"Those who are willing to stay, please put on your clothes; those who are unwilling to stay, stand on the right side and I will see you off."
The children hesitated, and one little boy hesitated and asked again and again:
"Then what will happen to the food we just ate if we leave?"
"It's okay, I'll give you something to eat." The third uncle replied calmly.
The little boy didn't ask any more questions, but put on his clothes.
But two children still walked to the right, and they were the two children who started eating in the middle.
The other children, after much hesitation, also put on their clothes, including the little girl who put the food in her arms.
In the eyes of the third uncle, these children are young even though they are young.
But I have experienced a lot, and now I understand everything.
"Send them out of Oil City." The third uncle waved his hand and asked Lao Xie to send away the two children standing on the right.
Sometimes, there is only one chance to change your destiny.
If you miss it, you will never have it again.
Perhaps because of fear, perhaps because of worry, or perhaps because of other reasons, these two children did not choose to stay.
Third uncle doesn't care about the reason why they don't stay, it's not important.
Wait until Lao Xie leaves.
The third uncle looked at the ten children standing in front of him, a total of six boys and four girls.
He said to Zhang Qun: "From now on, your name will be Jia."
"You are B." That arrogant child.
"You are Ding." The little girl who put away the food.
"You are C."
....
In this way, these ten children were named according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches: A, B, B, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui.
The third uncle had the most contact with Zhang Qun and understood her nature best.
It is very important to have someone who is loyal enough as the number one position.
"Next, I will send someone to teach and assess you. If you fail the assessment, you will be kicked out of the team. But also, from now on, you will not have to worry about food and safety."
.....
After leaving the house, Uncle San found Ant and asked him and Jackal to help train these little guys.
He doesn't have that much time now. When the rain stops, these little guys can be sent to the Da Zhangshu base to show Li Yu.
At the same time, they have to be brainwashed.
Having power is one thing, but whether it can be used by oneself is another.
There is no free lunch in the world, and I am very lucky to be able to live in this apocalyptic world without having to worry about food.
If you insist too much, it can only be said that this kind of person is too ambitious and not satisfied enough.
He wanted to help Li Yu and help the Li family train a sharp sword that was absolutely loyal to them.
I don’t know when I will be able to use it, but I have to plan ahead.
.....
Heavy rain washed the sky and the earth, and lightning went from sparse to almost non-existent.
All that was left was pure torrential rain.
After three days and three nights on the wall, Marseille and others finally returned to the Oil City.
Originally, Uncle San's idea was to let him stay on duty on the wall for 24 hours to get a feel for it.
Later, I learned from Dongtai that oil well digging can be achieved during heavy rain.
Moreover, working in three shifts can actually save the loss of electricity and other resources in oil extraction.
In other words, Marseille was actually lazy before.
Taking advantage of my professional affairs, taking advantage of my third uncle and the others who don't understand this, they are blatantly lazy.
This made the third uncle very angry.
So they were given an extension of time, three days and three nights!
Dragging his exhausted body down from the wall of the trading market, Marseille felt nervous and exhausted.
"Marsailon, the minister wants you to go to the conference room."
As soon as Marseille came in from Oil City, he was reminded by Xiao Jun.
Hearing this, Marseille asked nervously:
"Captain Xiao, what does the minister want to see me for? Is it because of the oil well?"
Xiao Jun glanced at him, and he was a little angry after learning about this.
Damn it, everyone worked tirelessly to stop the zombies.
But you want to be lazy and cheat!
If it weren't for the good relationship before, he would have scolded me long ago.
"You know it yourself, go ahead and don't keep the minister waiting."
Marseille felt even more regretful when he saw Xiao Jun's completely different attitude towards him from before.
well....
Why did I just...
So stupid.
With an anxious mood and heavy steps, I arrived at the door of the conference room.
He wanted to push the door open, but his hands were shaking.
He didn't know what else the minister wanted to do with him.
Hasn’t the minister calmed down yet?
Squeak——
The door opened.
Lao Xie glanced at him doubtfully, pursed his lips and said, "Why are you at the door? No, the minister is waiting for you inside. Come in quickly."
Dead!
Marcello gritted his teeth and walked inside bravely.
The third uncle happened to be sitting at the table drinking tea and looking at the manual in his hand.
The pace is extremely slow....
Everyone in the conference room saw him, and the third uncle also knew that he had entered.
But he didn't raise his head.
thump!
Marcellone knelt down in front of his third uncle without hesitation.
Tears were streaming down his face, and he said to his third uncle:
"Minister, I really know I was wrong. I hope you will consider that I have no merit but hard work and don't drive me away..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He was very scared, and these three days and nights made him understand a lot of things.
He also realized that without Oil City, he was nothing.
Once he leaves Oil City, he may not survive long in this world.
....
The third uncle turned over a few pages of paper in his hand.
Don't look at him at all.
The sound came from above Marseille.
"Oil wells can be fully exploited during heavy rains. Working in three shifts is actually the most scientific way to extract oil, because every time the oil is shut down and opened again, it costs a lot to restart."
The voice was calm and seemed lifeless.
When Marseille heard what his third uncle said, his whole body trembled like a sieve.
"Department, department, minister, I was wrong, I really didn't mean it..."
Hearing that he was still talking nonsense, the third uncle no longer had any patience.
"From today on, you are no longer a non-staff member and have been downgraded to a cooperative member."
"Don't do anything else. First go and clean the toilets and bathrooms in Oil City for a month."
"I..." Marseille was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning.
He is very aware of the gap between non-staff members and collaborators.
Collaborators do not have any guaranteed food, while non-staff personnel do.
In addition, the permissions are also very different.
The third uncle suddenly put down the manual in his hand.
He looked at Marseille with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
"Just a reminder, if you don't accept my decision, you can leave Oil City."
Finished.
The third uncle's tone was slightly slower.
"You are also an old man in Oil City. You have indeed given a lot, so I will give you the opportunity to stay in Oil City."
"Slowly accumulate points, do tasks well, and make contributions, and you will eventually be promoted back."
"Lao Ma, don't let me down."
The third uncle gave him a big stick and a sweet date, one cold and one hot, which moved Marseille to tears.
"Minister, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
"Thank you, Minister, for keeping me, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!..."
As Marcelloin spoke, he slapped himself in the face, making a loud slapping sound.
He originally thought he would be kicked out of Oil City, especially when his third uncle mentioned that frequent opening and closing would cause wear and tear, he knew he was in trouble.
But the minister will still give him a chance.
This made him feel lucky to survive the disaster.
If he really left Oil City, he really didn't know what to do.
As long as you can stay and rely on your own skills, you can always get up slowly.
This time, he fully realized how valuable this job is to be able to mine oil in the Oil City!
.....
(asking for monthly ticket)
[Xiao Meng Xin Liao’s first book has five million words, which makes me feel a little emotional.
I have been writing for more than a year, and there are so many words. I didn’t expect that I could write so many words.
