Chang Zhong was in a dilemma. He looked at Fu Manman and rushed to Fu Manman's side as if asking for help, "Little gang leader, tell me what's going on!"
"Uncle Chang, it's up to you! You decide today's matter." Fu Manman felt that it was time to let Chang Zhong, the deputy gang leader, do the work.
From now on, she will take a back seat and let Chang Zhong be the spokesperson.
It was a good idea, but she had to worry about everything and it was tiring.
"Little gang leader, don't be joking. How can I decide? I don't know anything, I'm just a farmer." Chang Zhong thought Fu Manman was joking.
"Uncle Chang, I'm not joking. You are the deputy gang leader. This deputy gang leader is not just for fun. He has to take care of things. I hope that in addition to doing physical work, you will also take care of such interpersonal matters. This
It's training." Fu Manman shook his fist at Chang Zhong.
Chang Zhong was dumbfounded. He felt so wronged and wanted to go home and farm.
The little boy was equally dumbfounded. He looked at Fu Manman and then at Chang Zhong. Did he ask the wrong person?
But how could the boy in front of him, who was about the same age as him, be the boss here?
impossible!
"Brother Erqiang, tell me, what should we do about this matter?" Chang Zhong decided to find Fu Qiang.
Fu Qiang stood next to Fu Manman and shook his head, "Uncle Chang, it's up to you to kill Liu."
Chang Zhong scratched his head. The Erqiang brothers had given him a hint. Should they kill him or keep him?
What would a small gang leader do?
Hey! This job is really difficult.
Just kill him! He just stole something. This is too cruel. If he doesn't kill, it won't be enough to deter him.
"You return the stolen grain to us, and I won't kill you." Chang Zhong said to the little boy.
The little boy's face was happy, and then he looked slightly embarrassed. They had eaten a little of the food, I'm afraid...
"Please, don't kill Brother Qi. I stole these grains and I will give them back to you." Two more children suddenly crawled out of the coffin.
A boy and a girl, both seven or eight years old.
He was skinny, skinny, and pale, and he looked like he had been suffering from long-term malnutrition.
"Don't kill the children. If you want to kill, kill me. I am the patriarch of this village." An old man also crawled out and protected the children.
"Grandpa..." the little boy called the old man.
After a while, several more people crawled out, some were men and some were women, all of them were skinny. They were all protecting the children tightly.
Fu Manman looked at these people, his expression slightly moved.
In this world, people should be like them and unite to survive.
Seeing so many villagers suddenly appearing, Chang Zhong was dumbfounded. He couldn't handle this matter.
"Little gang leader, you can handle this matter!" Chang Zhong threw away his hand and quickly hid aside.
…
Fu Manman looked at these villagers with a somewhat moved expression. It was so difficult for people to live in this world. They were trying their best to survive. How could she deprive them of the chance to live?
"I won't kill you, but I will also give you food, but..." Fu Manman stood up and looked at the poor people in front of him.
"But what?" asked the old patriarch of the village.
"I want him!" Fu Manman pointed at the little boy who knew how to make a trap.
Everyone was surprised!
Especially that little boy.
Why him!
"You are very skillful with your hands. I need a skilled craftsman like you. Are you willing to join the Xingyue Gang?" Fu Manman said to the young man.
Yuan Qi was dumbfounded. He just liked to figure out clever things. His family used to say that he didn't do farm work and was just messing around!
"I... I'm not good at farming, and I can't even carry a sandbag..." Yuan Qi stuttered.
He should tell the other person all his shortcomings!
Fu Manman nodded, "Okay, I know that. I don't want you to do that."
"Are you willing to join us?" Fu Manman walked up to Yuan Qi with a smile.
"I..." Yuan Qi was dumbfounded and didn't know what the situation was.
"Manman, I think he is not willing." Fu Qiang was completely unwilling to let this kid join.
"I do!"
Before Fu Qiang finished speaking, Yuan Qi agreed. She rushed to Fu Manman and said, "As long as I follow you, will you let the people in our village go? And... give us food?"
"Well, I'm telling the truth." Fu Manman nodded.
When Yuan Qi heard this, she immediately knelt on her knees and kowtowed to Manman: "Baby Yuan Qi will follow the little gang leader from now on and do whatever he wants." He heard others call this young man little gang leader, so he called him the same.
Unexpectedly, a young man turned out to be a small gang leader. He is really amazing.
What ability does this young man have? He can do what this little gang leader does!
"Okay, get up! You will be a member of our Xingyue Gang from now on." Fu Manman welcomed him.
Then he said to these villagers: "Everyone, we are refugees fleeing the famine passing through. We are staying in the ancestral hall. We have caused trouble, so the food should be regarded as an apology."
I don’t want the food anymore if I pay the full amount.
These villagers saw that there was a young man who was thin and small, and his words were very pleasant. Moreover, seeing that everyone listened to him, their worries were relieved.
After some exchanges, Fu Manman learned that this village is called Yuanjiawa. It is an ordinary small farming village. Most of the villagers are craftsmen. In previous years, when the business was good, they would go to the surrounding prefectures and counties to provide services to wealthy families.
Build a house and make furniture.
Moreover, the ancestors of the village had a sense of worry and built a shelter in the ancestral hall very early.
When there is a war, the whole village takes refuge in the underground shelter of the ancestral hall.
This shelter has gone through a lot of modifications and modifications, and has been destroyed many times, but it has also saved villagers countless times.
This coffin has been replaced several times. This time the coffin was modified by Yuan Qi and others. It is stronger, more concealed and safer than the previous one.
There have been more than a dozen waves of bandits in the village before, including Da Zi and the fleeing team, but none of them were found.
They have been hiding in this underground shelter for three or four months.
"You guys have been down there, how do you deal with the eating, drinking, and diarrhea?" Uncle Da asked.
After such a long time, it still doesn't stink down here.
"The construction here is very good. There is a place to live, a place to cook, and a convenient place. All the feces and urine will be discharged through the built pipes," said the villager.
"What kind of pipeline?" Fu Manman was interested.
"It's made of bamboo. The middle of the bamboo is hollowed out, then baked on fire, and painted with tree paint to ensure it doesn't rot. Then it can be buried in the ground as a pipe to drain sewage." Yuan Qi explained at the side.
"Did you do it?" Fu Manman looked at Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi nodded shyly. When he renovated the underground shelter, everyone in the village said he did a good job.
"He is indeed a talent." Fu Manman felt that he was really going to be mean to someone.
