Doomsday rat

Originally, Hong Tao thought that she was a little mentally disturbed by the sudden shock of losing her mother, but when she was interrogated by the soldiers just now, she clearly said, you all let me lie!

"...Bai Liu is amazing!" The little girl looked at Hong Tao vigorously, feeling that this matter was unreliable.In her young mind, Bai Liu was like an invincible devil, stronger than the security team.

"We not only killed Bai Liu, but also the one with a bird on his neck and such a big scar on his hand..."

Hong Tao understood the little girl's feelings, not to mention a lonely child who lived with his mother, how many adults in the industrial area would still have nothing to do with Bai Liu and his group.

Now it is necessary to prove that Bai Liu was killed. Fortunately, I searched the scene carefully at that time and knew the general characteristics of some of the corpses, hoping to convince her.

"That's the eagle and the black hand...they beat my mother!" After all, the little girl was a little girl, and when she heard Hong Tao describe the villain's physical characteristics in this way, she felt a little bit of faith in her heart.

"That's right, the uncles came to Jinmen Port for the first time, if they hadn't been killed, how could they see so clearly, right?" Hong Tao hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"...Will Mom never come back?" The little girl thought for a long time and asked a question full of expectation.

"...Yes, but she can watch from the sky. You have to work hard to live, and she will be happy in the sky if you have enough food and clothing every day." This question made Hong Tao unable to sigh even if he wanted to, Xiao Ma Simply turn your face to the other side, and don't plan to participate in this uncomfortable conversation again.

"Yeah!" But the little girl was stronger than Hong Tao and Xiao Ma, she didn't shed tears, but nodded vigorously.In addition to expectations, there seemed to be something else flashing in the eyes.

"In the future, if someone asks whose child you are, just say it's Uncle Pony's daughter, okay?" Hong Tao wasn't sure about the specific meaning of this light, and didn't have the time to think carefully about whether he should take advantage of the child's emotions. , pointed to the pony and started the next step of induction.

"..." The little girl shook her head.

"How about that bearded uncle in front?" Hong Tao pointed to the tiger on the car again.

"..." The little girl still shook her head.

"Me?" Hong Tao seemed to have an ominous premonition, so he simply skipped the boring gourd scalper and pointed at himself.

"..." The little girl nodded.

"Girl, Bai Liu and the villain were killed by this uncle. He avenged your mother. If he chooses someone else, will it make him sad?" Well, I have an extra daughter for no reason, you know It is this consequence that the tiger should have come forward in the first place.

But now the little girl considers herself a benefactor, what should she do?It is definitely not possible to accept a daughter along the way. It is not that she dislikes that she is not her own, nor does it mean that she is not qualified, but that she does not want to hurt her.

I am destined to be lonely in my life, and whoever gets close to me will be unlucky.If one day people find out that she is alive, this daughter will immediately become the target of public criticism, and then explain that she is not her own and has no blood relationship, who will believe it?

"..." The little girl hesitated. Although the uncle in front of her looked a little scary, he was an adult who made her feel warm for the first time, except for her mother.And the uncle driving the car next to him avenged his mother, how should he choose?

"This uncle can cook delicious meat, knows a lot of characters, and understands a lot of things. I don't even know a word, and I can't cook. I also like to drink and beat my children when I'm drunk..."

It is relatively easy for adults to lie to children, but it is even easier for Hong Tao.Although he doesn't like children very much, he has probably raised more children than anyone else in his lifetime, and he has rich experience. It is not too much to say that he is a second-hand early childhood educator.

He knows very well what the child likes and dislikes, and he also knows how to make the child like it and how to make the child hate it.After a self-deprecating meal, the little girl wisely chose Xiao Ma as her father, and leaned her body to that side by the way, trying to stay away from this hideous scum!

Ma Yu, and then the little girl got a new name, directly following Xiao Ma's surname, and it happened to be drizzling again at this time.This is God's will. Who dares to say that the word rain is not good?

"Brother Shu, can I kill a few less people?" Xiao Ma didn't say that the little girl's name was bad, nor was she unwilling to adopt, but felt that the blame was a bit big.This matter has alarmed the alliance to dispatch troops to block it on a large scale. Obviously, the people who were killed were not ordinary refugees.

"I'm sorry for the absence, my daughter! Tell Xiaoyu about the story just now, and the time and place must match. I'll go to the front and have a confession with them both!"

After finally pushing the little girl out, Hong Tao didn't want to delay for a moment, and within a few minutes he made up a Les Miserables, turning Ma Yu's single father into a new refugee who died of illness in the fishing village of Caofeidian, and Xiao Ma into a A compassionate receiver.

After reaching this consensus, you can take the little girl to the safety zone management office to apply for a temporary account when you go back.The alliance does protect the safety of the refugees and provides basic living supplies as much as possible, but the death rate of the refugees is still quite high, most of which are due to illness.No one can do anything about this thing for the time being, and no one will investigate it desperately.

Chapter 686 Leng didn't recognize it!

"Huh... a strange thing!" The nonsense was quite round, and the tiger, the scalper, the pony, and Ma Yu kept reciting along the way, and even asked each other questions for the exam.

But he kept tossing until it was dawn, and saw that he had arrived at the post station of the family of three again, and the expected pursuers were not seen.This made Hong Tao very puzzled, could it be that the nonsense along the way was all for nothing!

It’s really not easy for the three of them to run the inn. Just at 5 o’clock in the morning, the fat woman turned up the stove, and while boiling water, she took turns chopping firewood with a big ax at the door.

"Big brother, is this job done yet?!" Seeing these three very special carriages, with a distance of [-] meters, the full-bodied greeting penetrated into the ears, clearer than the big speakers in the village .

"Hey, something bad happened. People died in Jinmen Port, and the soldiers blocked it all, so they couldn't get in. No, after running around all night, the horse was almost tired!"

Hong Tao is really not exaggerating. The sweat on the three pack horses is like rain. Even if there is no post station here, he has to find a place to rest, otherwise the freight will not be enough for the engine overhaul.

"No wonder, several three-striped vehicles passed by here yesterday, and they must be in trouble when they come out. It turns out to be Jinmen Port!" The fat woman slapped her thigh, clearing her mind!

"What are three stripes?" But Hong Tao was confused.

"It's the car of the Ministry of Internal Affairs! You didn't know it when you first came here. If you want to say who is the scariest in the alliance territory, it is not the security team or the soldiers. There are people above them, that is, those in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who wear three on their arms. Investigators with red stripes."

"Several cars passed by last night, and the soldiers on the side were terrified. If we don't call our head of the house early in the morning to help with the housework, I'm afraid that there will be mistakes in the inspection. Come, come, go in first, and the water will be gone in a while." Okay, how about something to eat first?"

The fat woman explained the origin of the three stripes, and she couldn't help lowering her voice a few notches. While talking, she let everyone into the room, and at the same time, she didn't forget to do business.

"Let's make dumplings, warm up your body, 3 catties first!" Hong Tao didn't disappoint her, this time he not only had to eat but also stayed in the hotel, slept until noon before leaving, and let the horses rest.

"Hey, where did this little girl come from!" Before the fat woman's smile fully opened, she saw Ma Yu following behind the pony.

"Children from my hometown... Oh, life is hard. I just went to the fishing village and got sick and passed away within half a year. Why don't I just take it back, everyone saves one bite and it's enough for her to eat! Big sister, just right, we are all gentlemen, There are some jobs that I can’t intervene in. How about you help boil some water for her to wash, and the money will be counted together!”

Hey, it's all over, the nonsense on the road is not for nothing, so this will come in handy.In order to further convince the fat woman, the little girl was given to her alone to try the effect.

"Hey, poor child... Leave it to me. After washing, I will change into my kid's clothes. Come on, girl, go to the house with my aunt and let the elders support you. I will suffer from you in the future!"

The fat woman is really just an ugly face, coupled with a confident voice and a pungent personality, she looks fierce, but she is actually a tofu-hearted person.Seeing Ma Yu's dirty clothes and cat-like face, her mother's surname immediately popped up. Not only did she not mention the money for boiling water, but she also put on a suit of clothes.

Just as the dumplings were on the table, there was a roar in the distance, and two big black cars stopped outside the door, blocking most of the newly rising sun.Hong Tao glanced sideways, and immediately buried his head in the bowl, eating the dumplings wholeheartedly.

It's so scary, aren't these two cars the saber-toothed tigers I got from the city bureau!Except for the indelible marks smeared by the years, there is almost no change. You can even see the front bumper that was smashed when you went to the community to look for survivors.

What was more frightening was not the car, nor the three bright red slashes on the body, but the man who got off the co-pilot.Ten years have passed, but that face hasn't changed much, but the original hostility is gone, replaced by gloomy and calm.

Wang Jian!Hong Tao remembered his name. This guy was captured by himself as a remnant of the Wolves, but he refused to obey the discipline and had to exchange it. Later, he became Zhou Yuan's confidant.

But now he's wearing a leather Air Force bomber jacket with the distinctive three red slash cuffs on his arms.If the fat woman is right, it should be the symbol of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Isn't Zhou Yuan the Minister of Foreign Affairs? Why did he go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hang out with Lin Na?

"Is the carriage outside yours?" The two cars didn't just stop temporarily, they seemed to be specially searched. Wang Jian took the lead, followed by four people dressed in the same clothes, and asked after entering the door.

"..." Hong Tao still didn't look up, but just raised his eyelids and winked at the opposite tiger.

"Sir, sir, it's ours..." Tiger quickly got up to talk.

"Move it, it's blocking the way!" Wang Jian didn't speak, his voice probably reminded Hong Tao, it was very special.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Hey, don't eat now, go out and move the car away!" Tiger yelled loudly with a smile on his face.

"What are the dumplings stuffed with?" Before Hong Tao could decide whether he should go out or not, the pony and the scalper followed the tiger away.At this time, a person sat in the tiger's seat, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dumplings in the bowl.

"Chives and eggs!" Hong Tao couldn't lower his head now, so he took a deep breath and raised his face.

"How does it taste?" It was indeed Wang Jian, a little fatter, and the stubble on his lips was more obvious, that's all.

"Very good..." Suppressing his beating heart, Hong Tao nodded and replied dully.

"...Oh, it's not easy to set up a car fleet right after we came here. How about it, do you think the life here is decent?" Wang Jian moved suddenly, stretched out his hand and pulled out the ID card from Hong Tao's neck, and looked at both sides. He let go, a smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you sir, it's pretty good!" To be honest, Hong Tao really doesn't remember Wang Jian's smile. When he saw him back then, he glared at him and grinned, as if he had never smiled.

"Where do you guys come from?" Wang Jian was quite interested in chatting, even though the cars outside were all started, she didn't intend to leave.

"JYG..." Hong Tao put on a northwest accent since he came in.

"JYG...JYG...Oh, you came early. Now there are many job opportunities there, and the salary is no less than here." After repeating the place name twice, Wang Jian seemed to think of something, and slapped the palm and back of his hand fiercely.

"..." Hong Tao didn't know what this guy was going to say, so he could only open his mouth halfway, and waited stupidly for the next sentence through his sunglasses.

"I'm afraid you don't know that the former Western Union and the later Redeemer are going to relocate. The entire population will move eastward, some to Chang'an, and some to Beijing and Tianjin. JYG is the westernmost passenger station. Tens of thousands of people, you say live Can I have less?"

It seemed quite enjoyable to explain the big trend of the alliance to a refugee who had never met before. Wang Jian took out the cigarette case and lit it while talking, and did not forget to ask Hong Tao if he smoked.

"...Sir, why did they all move here?" Now that Hong Tao had seen some clues, Wang Jian didn't realize that he looked familiar, so he probably didn't come here for him.He was just passing by, and the car needed to be refueled, so he came in and sat for a while.

"The natural conditions over there are too harsh. The alliance persuaded their leaders to get everyone together. The strength of a large number of people is great. This is good news for you. There will be more and more transportation jobs in the future. Let’s go, try to buy more cars and horses, the good days are still to come. Let’s eat, it’s getting cold!”

At this time, the sound of the vehicle engine came from outside again, and the two saber-toothed tigers should have come out after refueling.Wang Jian stood up and patted Hong Tao on the shoulder, as if the leader went to the grassroots to express his condolences, except for sending blessings, he did not take away a cloud.Of course, nothing was brought.

"Dongqian... Has Sun Dacheng figured it out? Or is he gone?" But he has brought a lot of shocks to Hong Tao, and it is hard to understand just one redeemer and all Dongqian.

With Sun Dacheng's temperament, he is not such a person who succumbed so easily, but he succumbed so thoroughly.Without the population, who would know him, and does he have the guts to come to the alliance base as an idler?Aren't you afraid that those women who were harmed by him will bite to death?

But there is no need for Wang Jian to lie to a refugee. It seems that this news is not a top secret, so it can only explain one problem, something big happened in Xinjiang Province.It's been less than a year since I left, what a sudden change!

Chapter 687

Wearing the stars and wearing the moon, the sky was not completely bright when I set off three days ago, and it was still late at night when I came back.After sleeping at the post station for a few hours, the three carriages set off on their way back again before lunch.First send the goods to the alliance's warehouse in the northern safe zone, then turn around immediately and return to the southern safe zone.

"Uncle, Dad, do we live here?" As soon as he entered the yard, Ma Yu, who had already slept all the way, was completely sleepy. Wearing a circle of oversized underwear, he stood on the car board and stared at the window of the small building. The bright light asked the pony quietly.Now she is willing to call people, but she still needs a prefix.

"That's right, let's go, Dad will carry you up. We live on the second floor, stay away from that bad guy!"

Xiao Ma is not unfamiliar with the sudden addition of a daughter to him. Although he has never been married and has no children in his life, he still looks good as a father.It's just that he has been struggling with the few lives that were forcibly placed on his head, for fear that he will become a bad person like Hong Tao in the future and be cast aside by his daughter.

"Brother Shu, what does this mean? You can still pick up a daughter for delivery? Where did you pick it up!" Fat Sheep had a son and a daughter, and when he saw Xiao Ma suddenly had a daughter, the fat on his face trembled, and he wanted to go too. pick one up.

"You are the only one who moved in?" Seeing Fei Yang at night was really uncomfortable. Hong Tao said that he could move in in the near future, but there are conditions.

"How can it be? I moved with two families from the New Sixth District, and they started a car repair stall with me. Bungy also posted a rental notice outside. There are quite a few people who have seen it in the past two days. I guess Someone's going to have to ask soon. It's getting colder, and it's not as comfortable in a shack as in a decent house."

Fat Sheep pointed to the gate, and briefly introduced the situation of the rental house.He also came up with this idea. Aren’t there many houses without windows or doors? The advertisement said that whoever repairs the windows and doors by himself will be exempted from rent for three months.

In fact, there are plenty of windows and doors, but there are not so many people to do decoration in winter.But he and the two families of refugees didn't care. They made enough food and clothing by themselves, and it took only half a day to install all three rooms.The gaps are just plugged up, and a stove can be used to survive the winter.

In this way, no one can tell whether the refugees who came to rent have anything to do with Hong Tao and the others, let alone selling building materials and running apartments, but there are not many who have the courage to believe and have the ability to do it at the beginning.

But as long as there are role models for this kind of thing, the follow-up will be quick. From the second day after Hong Tao came back, refugees have come to ask questions one after another. After inquiring everything clearly, the three buildings behind suddenly became the demolition site again.

With the guidance of Fat Sheep and two households of refugees, the refugees who planned to settle here gave full play to the spirit of self-reliance. With simple tools such as hammers and crowbars, the first and second floors were completely demolished, and all the bricks were brought back for reinforcement. Seal their own house, and build a yard on the south half of the building for the rest.

If this trend continues, the remaining 30 vacant rooms will soon be overcrowded.Although there is no rent yet, some people have a future and can become a natural community of interests and cover.As long as they don't pay too much, they will probably do anything that is good for Xiaolou.

Didn't the ancients say that Xiaoyin hides in the forest and Dayin hides in the city.If you want to hide yourself, the best way is to blend into the crowd. The more lively, messy and complicated the environment, the easier it is to eliminate traces.

Now Hong Tao got himself into the crowd of refugees, doing the same job, wearing similar clothes, and living in the same building.Unless he can be followed 24 hours a day, it is really difficult for outsiders to distinguish him from other refugees.

Of course, the most hidden ones are the thin monkey and the water snake.Since these two guys rented a stall in the Great Ocean Road Market, they no longer need to take living expenses from Tiger.

During this period of time, the goods collected from the red zone were sold, and the business of the two became more and more prosperous, and they also made a little fame in the market.For example, if anyone wants to find something from the old world, go to their booth and ask, maybe there will be a surprise.

Don't be afraid even if you didn't have it at the time, you can say what you want, the two of them have launched a new business called Daigou!Do you want to get your hands on an old world cutlery set?Do you want some old world clothes and shoes?You want to get an old world watch?

Let’s just say, as long as there are things in the old world that can still be preserved to the present, they can find a way to buy them, and they have to be repaired and usable, and the broken ones don’t count.Of course, daigou must be more expensive than ordinary buying and selling prices. Rare things are more expensive.

But what people see are only two smart and well-connected small businessmen. They don't know that there is a whole team of gold diggers hiding behind them. Most of the things they buy come from that dilapidated three-story building. inside.

As long as they didn't get out of the car, a few figures would sneak into the stables and disappear every night in the dead of night, and then quietly appear with big bags and small bags on their backs at dawn, stuffing all the collected goods into the third-floor warehouse.

Last night, Hong Tao was busy for most of the night again. He did not go to find the goods purchased by the agent for the thin monkey, but brought back a large pile of solar panels.After eating breakfast and sleeping for two hours, I got up and started to work. First, I used a multimeter to take a measurement, and cleaned all the solar panels that passed the test and put them on the roof.

"Patter...it's on, it's on..." A few hours later, the lead-acid battery had a stable DC output, lighting up the small light bulb in Lu Meng's hand.

"And mine..." Ma Yu also came over and raised the light bulb in his hand.

"Xiaoyu, this is not possible. It uses alternating current, while Lu Meng's uses direct current." Although Hong Tao is the most unruly adult in the small building, even adults and children make a lot of trouble, but the children I also like to play with him the most, without it, there are many new things.

Lu Meng is the son of Lu Wei'an, five and a half years old, maybe older than Ma Yu, who knows, name is not important these days, and age is also not important.

"How can I make it light up?" Of course, Ma Yu doesn't understand direct current and alternating current, but he just thinks that brother Meng's light bulb can light up, so he should be able to do it too.

"Hey, this is Uncle Daifuku's ability. Look, this thing is called an inverter, it can do magic, and it can turn direct current into alternating current. Come on, let's screw the wires on... let's work!"

In fact, Hong Tao didn't want to coax the children to play, but he was used to talking when he was working, and the adults got tired of hearing it and could only lie to the children.But his deception is more clever, a small square box can light up a light bulb that was originally off, this spell is so fun!

"Jingle bell... Jingle bell..."

"The doorbell is ringing..." Lu Meng heard the ringing, put down the light bulb and ran out.

"Uncle Dafu, several people came outside, and an old man said he was looking for albatross..." After a while, he ran back and tried to repeat what he heard, but unfortunately he forgot the latter.

"Oh, all right, go play by yourself, Uncle has guests here!"

Today Bungy Pig and Xiao Ma are out of the car, and the rest of them are all trying to catch up on sleep.If Fat Sheep comes back, he will not go through the gate on the north side. He is a renter, and he has to go through the tenant's yard on the south side.Find the albatross... Could it be them?

Throw the two brats out of their room, go to the opposite office and hide behind the curtain to look down.There were four men standing at the gate of the courtyard. The leader was aged between 5 and 60. They were all in cotton hats and military coats, with no obvious history.

"Wow... Who are you looking for?" Going downstairs and opening the courtyard door, and standing still facing each other, Hong Tao smelled the faint fishy smell and had an idea in his heart, but he still had to ask.

"...Oh, Limin Transportation Team, Tong Limin, what is the name of this brother?" Seeing Hong Tao going out, the man on the left nodded slightly, and the old man took a step forward and introduced himself after seeing Hong Tao.

"A friend is coming from afar...Boss Tong, please come inside!" In fact, Hong Tao didn't know who was intercepting him on the way, but he knew who was coming when he heard the word transport team.

It has been four days since I came back, I thought they would not take the initiative to come to the door for peace talks, but I didn't expect to come anyway.Whether it is an enemy or a friend, and how to develop it, put it aside for the time being, it is a guest who comes!

"Zhou Dafu, there may have been some misunderstandings with your subordinates on the road a few days ago, and the weather in the middle of the night was bad, so we didn't stay long. I'm really sorry to ask you to come over here today, please do it quickly, please sit down..."

Hong Tao let the four of them to the living room on the first floor, took out the tea set from the wine cabinet to make tea and poured water, and took the initiative to bring up the day's events.But the words were very tactful, without the slightest intention of invoking the teacher, and even unable to tell who was right and who was wrong.
