This shouting was repeated several times before it stopped.
After the shouting ended, Ogata and Atachi looked at each other.
"It seems... Fenghe Village still maintains a certain order..." Ogata said first.
"Yeah." Ating nodded, "Let's go and take a look."
Both of them were very curious about the shout just now.
On the one hand, the two wanted to see how many people were alive in Fenghe Village, and on the other hand, they wanted to see how the so-called "breakfast distribution" was done.
Ogata and Omachi moved little by little around the outskirts of Toyowa Village, looking for a suitable place to break in.
Although there were torches lighting up some places in Toyawa Village, there were not many torches, and there were many dark places that were not covered by light, so Ogata and Amachi quickly found a suitable place to enter.
After breaking into Fenghe Village, the two men walked non-stop and slowly followed the place where the shouts came from.
In just a moment, the two found their target.
"Atachi, look." Ogata moved his chin forward, "We're here."
Ogata and Omachi are currently hiding in the gap between the two houses.
This kind of place is often dimly lit and few people come to it, so it is particularly suitable as a hiding place.
The two people hiding here only had to poke their heads out slightly to see a lot of people gathered in the open space not far away.
These people lined up in two lines in front of the two young men and received rice from the hands of the two young men.
Whether it is these two young people or the young people who are queuing up to receive rice, they all look the same as the people standing guard in the paddy field that Ogata and the others met just now - they are sallow and thin, and it is obvious at a glance that they have not taken good care of themselves for a long time.
After eating, if a gust of wind blows, it might collapse.
"There is so little rice..." Looking at the villagers who were receiving rice, A-Machi muttered, "I finally understand why the people here look so skinny..."
Although there was some distance between them, both Ogata and Omachi clearly cut them down - a young man in charge of distributing rice picked up a handful of rice with four fingers and put it into an old woman's cloth bag.
.
"They seem to give rice to each household." Ogata agreed softly from the side, "Anyway, we are all from the same village. Everyone knows who belongs to which household, so there is no need to worry about giving rice.
Wrong rice..."
Although rice is provided to each household, both large and small households receive very little rice. The difference between them is probably a handful of rice more or a handful less rice.
Each household can only receive such a small amount of rice, so it's no wonder that the villagers' complexions and physical condition have improved.
——It’s exactly what I thought...
Ogata thought secretly in his heart.
——The self-isolated Fenghe Village implements "monarchy" and "rationing system", gathering all materials together for unified distribution...
——The village chief of Toyawa Village, Konnosuke, should be that "monarch".
——Judging from the current situation, that Kinnosuke should be quite popular and capable. After sealing the village for so long, the village can still maintain a stable order.
Ogata had speculated before - if there are still living people living in Fenghe Village within the wooden walls, then Fenghe Village must be practicing an "autocracy" and implementing a "rationing system" on important materials such as food.
”.
After all, in this almost apocalyptic environment, the "autocratic monarchy" that concentrates power in one place is actually the most efficient system that can best lead everyone to survive.
Of course - the prerequisite for high efficiency is that the "monarch" responsible for leading everyone is not an incompetent person.
After looking away from the crowd still sending rice, Ogata said to Amachi:
"Let's go, Atachi. Let's go find the mayor of this village, Konnosuke."
"Yeah. Let's go." Atachi nodded, "There are many villagers here collecting rice right now, which is just convenient for us to sneak into Konnosuke's house."
Ogata and Omachi had only one goal from the beginning, and that was the head of Toyowa Village - Kinnosuke.
As the ruler of this "world within the wall", he must have the most information about cannibals, methods of leaving the island, etc. among all the villagers.
Ogata and Atachi turned their heads at the same time with great tacit understanding and looked at the most magnificent house in the village.
Before entering Fenghe Village, Ogata and Omachi noticed this magnificent house, because this house was too conspicuous. The other houses were all ordinary low houses. Only
That house is an imposing mansion with at least three floors.
Zong Haiyou told Ogata and others that Konnosuke is not only the village chief of Toyowa Village, but also the most well-off person on the island, and his home is therefore very grand.
Therefore, neither Ogata nor Ogata need to specifically ask other villagers where Konnosuke's home is. They can just look up and immediately locate the target.
While there were still many villagers collecting rice there, Ogata and Omachi sneaked out from the gap between the houses and quietly approached the magnificent mansion.
…
…
at the same time--
In a valley not far from Fenghe Village.
"Hey! Newcomer!" Sotaro shouted to Nanemon and others, "This is our base!"
Nanemon, who followed Soutaro and others obediently, looked around.
This place is a relatively hidden valley with quite high terrain.
There are people sitting or standing in every corner of the valley.
After Sotaro led Nanemon and others into the valley, these people immediately cast various looks at Nanemon and others.
Have happy eyes.
There are interested looks.
There is...that kind of naked and obscene look.
Shichiemon, who was so frightened by these glances, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"Don't be afraid!" Sotaro, who led Nanemon and others towards the depths of the valley, smiled at Nanemon, "We strictly prohibit bullying here. As long as you obey the orders, we won't do anything to you. Not only will we not
What will I do to you, including good food, drink and good treatment?"
"Allow me to ask..." Nanemon asked Soutaro softly, "How many people have you gathered already?"
"Including you new ones, there is person number 42."
"42...?" Nanemon raised his eyebrows, "There are so many of you, where is the source of food?"
"Of course I'm going to borrow it from the islanders here." Soutaro turned his head and grinned at Nanemon, the smile he showed was a bit ferocious.
"Borrow it from the islanders?" Nanemon looked confused.
"I'll tell you the details later. We're here. Hey! Brother! I'm back with new people!"
