Doomsday rat

Seeing the grenade, Iszawi was just like seeing a new wife. He held it in his hands and wanted to go up and kiss him, but he immediately realized where they had been placed on someone's body for a long time, so he quickly stopped the movement of pushing up and stuffed it. into his arms.He took out two ten-yuan shopping coupons from his pocket, and slapped them in Hong Tao's hands angrily.

"It's good to marry a wife... I want someone who is young, who can cook, wash clothes, and have children!" This question was on point, and Hong Tao immediately remembered the resentful eyes of Kerim.Obviously, finding a young woman is definitely not possible on your own, so it is better to ask Iszawi if there is a way.

Chapter 454 Fishing and Daughter-in-law

"You, you marry a wife?" Iszawi was a little surprised.

"My brother...is young, cooks, washes clothes, and has children!" Hong Tao shook his head, and continued to repeat the conditions with his fingers.

"Chengchengcheng, I know...you are precious, you need almost...five horses, young horses, not old horses!" Iszawei pressed Hong Tao's big hand, not wanting to listen to those nonsense anymore, but There was a gleam of light in the eyeballs, and then stretched out five fingers.

"Five!!!" Hearing the price, Hong Tao's mouth immediately turned into a shower, spraying Iszawi all over his face.

"Oh...there are five horses, young ones, not more than 30 years old, and in good health!" Iszawei was disgusted, but he didn't make any mistakes. He wiped it with his sleeve and took two steps back before he dared to continue. bargain.

"No...not anymore..." Five horses of Makrim must be affordable, but Hong Tao was not happy.It's too expensive for five horses.

"...Four horses, at least four horses. You don't even open your eyes to see, can you find a young woman here? To tell you the truth, if you want to find a young woman, you have to buy a nun in white from the base. Do you think it can be cheap! "

Seeing Hong Tao's resoluteness, Iszawei felt that the price might be a bit high, so he automatically dropped another one, and then began to describe to Hong Tao how difficult it was to purchase.

"Under 10 years old, three mares, trained!" Hong Tao didn't care about that set, even if you pulled Chang'e off the moon, there are only so many.

"Is it okay to be older? In his early 30s!" Iszawei felt that the price was really unattainable, and planned to relax the conditions a little.

"Cooking, washing clothes, herding sheep, and giving birth!" Hong Tao thought for a while. The Crimean is over 40, and it would be a waste to marry someone in his 20s. You don't need to be young.

But the following things must be met. Don’t find me a delicate and weak city girl who can’t do anything in the ravine and is sick all day long. She will die of illness in less than two months.

"Hey, don't worry, I promise to meet your requirements, and you have to be physically strong, otherwise you two brothers can't bear the toss, hehehe..." Iszawei can also think about it, he thought that Hong Tao would marry his brother a wife, Then the two of them used it together, laughing so obscenely.

"When will I see you?" Hong Tao didn't bother to explain to such a rotten thing.

"...Uh... You're going to catch fish with Sister Juma. You won't be able to leave for two days. How about I bring you when you come back?" Iszawi pinched his fingers and didn't know what to do. What, it took a long time to give the specific date.

"Nuns can't fish...the roads are not easy to walk..." Only then did Hong Tao remember that the Crimean problem had been solved, but he was in serious trouble.

Where to go fishing, I definitely can't take the nuns to Sailimu Lake.The question is is there really a lake in the south?Are there really fish in the lake?If you don't find or have no fish, you have to reveal your secrets on the spot.

"It's okay to go or not. I didn't hear Sister Zhuma say that the bishop wanted to eat it!" Iszawi seemed to be uneasy with two grenades in his arms, and he was not in the mood to chatter with Hong Tao at all, and turned around after leaving a word. Head through the door behind the counter.

"Good people can drive you to death...Damn it!" The owner of the shop was gone, so Hong Tao had to come out and sit at Zhang Pinggui's tea stand, cursing inwardly while eating biscuits.

He had already thought about it, and when that nun came, he said that the road was not easy to walk, and he had to go alone.If she insists on following, then don't blame yourself for being cruel.As long as there are not too many people, they will be killed together in the mountains, and then they will not come here anymore.If you want to go to southern Xinjiang, go around from the east, a thousand kilometers is nothing!

I don’t know if the nuns eat like the army. Less than an hour from meeting to parting, Sister Zhumabayi came back, followed by two ascetic monks in white clothes, and together with Hong Tao’s two horses, led a total of five horses.

"Is the mountain road to the south so difficult?" After hearing Hong Tao's description of the difficulty of traveling and going up to the blue sky, Zhu Mabai was not too judgmental, and turned to ask the ascetic monk for his opinion.

"After the earthquake, the original road collapsed, and some places really have to take mountain roads. If you go to the mountainous area south of Turks, there should be no road at all, and only shepherds can find it." The two ascetic monks in white obviously didn't want to go. Endorsed Hong Tao.

"Can you come back the day after you go alone?" Zhumabayi probably didn't want to go, but she seemed very worried about the bishop's banquet.

"It's very tight... rushing all night!" Hong Tao nodded with a heavy tone.

"You ride these two horses, it's faster." Hearing Hong Tao's assurance, Zhu Mabayi nodded slightly, and waved to let the two ascetic monks in white bring their horses over.

"No, they can't go on mountain roads... they can run on flat ground, they are fast!" Trading a good horse for an old horse should be a profit. If he hadn't lived with Crimea for such a long time, Hong Tao would definitely be secretly happy.But now not only did I not feel that I was making money, but I had to decline it.

As the saying goes, an old horse knows the way, and a well-trained horse has a strong ability to recognize the way. Riding these two horses back to Sailimu Lake, it is hard to say whether they will remember.Even if you don't remember all of them, as long as you can remember half of them, your old nest is basically exposed.

"Here, this is what I'm going to take on the road to eat, as well as the fishing rod and hook. Come back at noon the day after tomorrow, the more fish the better, and then there will be rewards for you!" Zhu Mabai turned and walked to the pure horse. Beside Bai's tall horse, he took off the saddlebag and handed it to Hong Tao, and promised more benefits.

Looking at the back of the nun, Hong Tao felt that she must have a good figure.Don't look at the whole body covered in a wide cloak, you can't see it when you walk slowly with small steps, but once you take a big step and walk in a hurry, part of the body outline will still show up.

"The bishop likes to eat fish?" But there is a question that I don't quite understand. Is the bishop of the Redeemer so greedy? If he doesn't eat fish, he will die. It depends on his subordinates.

"It's not that the bishop wants to eat, it's that guests are coming, from the mainland. The base has been cleaned since yesterday, and a lot of people have been sent to dig wild flowers on the hillside and plant them. Your honored guest!" Zhang Pinggui sat on the street all day. Come on, he is more sentinel than sentinel, people still change the guard, but he doesn't, it's just a day at a glance.

"Entertaining guests, good!" This answer made some sense, Hong Tao nodded seriously, as if he was so hospitable, he got on his horse, turned around and left.But what was on my mind was another matter, would there be any connection between those two grenades and the upcoming distinguished guests?

As the saying goes, the friend of the enemy is the enemy, and the guest who can make the Redeemer so valued must not be the friend of the rebels.If something happened to these guests outside the main base, the Redeemer seemed to have a few mouths to say.

In three full days, can Hong Tao find the so-called big lake, catch fish and come back?What the hell, he doesn't even know where the lake in the south is, and he hasn't walked more than half of the way along the way. It's a question of whether he can walk across the mountains and mountains in three days.

Moreover, some lakes in Xinjiang Province have salt water, which looks quite large, deep and clear. In fact, there are neither fish nor shrimp in them, and at most there are plankton and water birds that are resistant to salt and alkali.

He didn't intend to go fishing in the south at all, but planned to return to Sailimu Lake.There are ready-made simple net cages there. The fish I usually catch cannot be eaten, nor can I dry so many dried fish, so I keep them in small net cages.

In three days, the short-cut round trip was less than 200 kilometers, more than half of which were mountain roads.I definitely couldn't do it two months ago, but it should be almost the same now.

In the past two months, in addition to following the mountain roads pointed out by Crimea, I also actively explored several times, and successfully found a road that can directly lead to the small coal mine in the northwest of Yining.

From this road, there is no need to go through Huocheng, and the one-way distance can be shortened by nearly 30 kilometers.It was originally reserved for a rainy day, but now that the rain is almost here, you can use it first.

In fact, even if there is no fishing, I have to go back as soon as possible.Iszawi said that he could find the nun in white from the base, and that Kerim probably wouldn't care about the identity of his daughter-in-law, but he had to exchange three horses, and they had to be young and trained to ride a mare.I definitely have nowhere to look, so I can only go back and discuss with Crimea, whether it is worth it or not, I have to let him make up his mind.

Chapter 456 Going deep into the settlement

After three days of living in the wind, sleeping in the open, and traveling day and night, Hong Tao finally came back at the appointed time. In addition to the four rainbow trout and whitefish wrapped in several layers of wet cloth, there were also two snow lotus trees picked in Crimea.

As soon as this guy heard that his wife was hopeful, he might be able to bring it back in a few days. He rummaged through the box and found a lot of gold and silver jewelry, as well as many precious medicinal materials.Hong Tao has been with him for so many years, but he has never heard of it. It can be seen that making love is far more difficult than mating.

"You are very loyal to the true God. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Seeing the four big fish weighing no less than 2 kilograms and Hong Tao's body covered in mud, Sister Zhumabayi's voice was a little louder, and she was no longer It was cold, and finally brought some emotions.

"Passport..." Iszawi on the side was more excited than Hong Tao, turned sideways and kept gesticulating on his chest.

"Korla, Passport..." Hong Tao immediately granted Iszawi's wish without even thinking about it.

"...What are you going to Korla for? There are zombies there!" Sister Zhuma was surprised by this request.

"Blue Devil, catch it, it's worth money!"

"You, you're going to catch the Blue Devil? Isn't it good to provide the base with mutton?" The nun still couldn't figure out why she didn't do it in an easier and safer way to make money, but insisted on taking great risks to catch the blue devil in the zombie-occupied area. devil.

"In winter, there is no mutton, no money..." Hong Tao seemed to want to say something, but couldn't express clearly, and gestured at Iszawi.

"Honorable nun, he is a shepherd. In two months, he will go to the winter pasture in the mountains to herd sheep. He will not come back until spring. He wants to continue to make money as a gold digger in the past few months. But you should also know that Every time I pass through a checkpoint, there will be less goods..." Iszawi hurried forward two steps, hunched his back slightly and lowered his head, and respectfully acted as a Chinese translator for Hong Tao.

"Poor man, God, please have mercy on your people... If you die, what will happen to the mutton next year?"

The nun probably understood Iszawi's meaning, raised her hands with palms up, raised her head and began to pray.Then he asked a very specific question. It seemed that if Hong Tao could not give a satisfactory answer, he would not give him a pass.

"Brother, my brother...the shepherd is not afraid of zombies, axes, and killing many... Kuitun!" Hong Tao didn't have any difficulty in answering this question. He concluded that it was much easier to tell lies than to tell the truth.

"Yes, dear nun, he is the best gold digger in Kuitun. He has never had any problems for several years. It's just that the price over there is very low, so he has to come here. And he has a younger brother, too. You can send mutton." Iszawi was afraid that the nun would not understand, so he added what he said.

"Iszawi, don't slander the believers of the true God casually, it will make you sinful... I will issue you a special pass, valid until spring. Before the transfer, the mutton will be delivered as usual."

Sister Zhumabayi didn't seem to like Iszawi's way of speaking, her voice became cold again, she confessed lightly, and beckoned to call the sentinel to help carry the sheepskin bag containing fish to the bridge.

"Bi Resi, you are rich! Hurry up, let's go to Xiyingmen for a drink or two, and then plan what goods to bring... By the way, are you planning to go to Korla? Let me think about it... Nala Mention, Baruntai..."

Hearing that there was a special pass with unlimited times and unlimited routes, Eszawi was more excited than Hong Tao. He kept pacing in place, scratching his messy hair vigorously, as if he could grab the goods from it.

"Daughter-in-law, woman, no, no!" He is not a donkey, even if he has a special pass, Hong Tao does not intend to go to southern Xinjiang immediately to explore.

In addition to fulfilling the promise of delivering mutton, the family problems in Crimea must be resolved before leaving with peace of mind.This trip may not be able to tell when I will come back, and I may not even be able to come back.It doesn't matter if you die, but you have to pay off your debts, especially debts of favor, before you die.

"...Okay, I need to prepare some goods. Oh yes, don't sleep in front of the store at night, this street will be under martial law after dark. Find a safe place to stay... Well, the one you mentioned last time The two children’s home is good. Have you seen the wooden tower in the northwest? There is a red-painted iron gate on the east side of the tower. Go, the father of the two children came several times when you were away, saying that he wanted to thank you You. I don't quite understand what benefit you gave them?"

Iszawei was stunned for a moment, as if he had suddenly figured it out. Not only was he not in a hurry to bring the goods, but he also wanted to send Hong Tao away immediately.

"The bishop's guest?" Looking at those flickering eyes, Hong Tao knew that this profiteer must have something in his heart, and he was worried.

"Of course, otherwise who has such great power... Go, come back tomorrow morning, I'll take you to see your wife! Now I'm going out to find the goods, you wait here for Sister Juma's pass." Iszawi took a deep breath Taking a breath to stabilize his mind, he put on a profiteer's smile, patted Hong Tao on the shoulder vigorously, and walked out of the shop.

Of course, the red-robed nun will not come to give a pass to a herdsman in person, but a nun in a white cloak will come.This allowed Hong Tao to confirm his guess once again. You don't need to look at the face but only the figure to know the difference between the white-robed nun and the red-robed nun.

These bastards really know how to enjoy themselves, and their methods are much better than those of Sun Dacheng and Gao Tianyi back then.Not only can I enjoy my young and beautiful body at will, but also let no one say anything. I pretend that everything is for group reproduction... I can’t accept it, there are too many smart people compared to myself.

This is the first time that Hong Tao has gone so deep into the refugee community. When he usually comes, both Iszawi and Zhang Pinggui will take the trouble to tell him not to go too far, it is very, very unsafe, even in the daytime.

But Iszawi didn't say anything today, and Zhang Pinggui's tea stall wasn't displayed, so Hong Tao had to take the risk by himself.But he had a heart, and hung the special pass on his chest, intending to borrow a little bit of the fairy spirit of the real god. He doesn't know if it works, so let's try it.

After only walking about 200 meters away from the main street, he understood how necessary the instructions from Iszawi and Zhang Pinggui were.The main road here is okay, but as soon as you enter the small road in the residential area, you will feel uncomfortable.

The first is the smell... the smell of excrement and urine and the elves who always follow this smell, express their enthusiasm with practical actions, kiss your whole body while making buzzing cheers, and its density is comparable to that of the dry toilets in the countryside in the 6s and 70s .

The second is the environment. Obviously, this place has also been affected by the earthquake, and it is still very serious.Most of the houses are either collapsed or cracked, and few can be called intact.

But many houses are inhabited. In order to make up for these defects, the refugees have tried various methods, using various materials to make up the house like their own cloak, which is very magical.

Finally, there are people. There are people in many houses, but no one comes out. They all hide inside and look out through various gaps. Maybe there are weapons such as guns or crossbows aimed at them.Hong Tao felt that he was very lucky to be able to walk more than 200 meters, and the real god was indeed a bit immortal.

With the help of immortal energy, he finally found the house with the red-painted iron gate.To be honest, this house is not much better than other houses at all, on the contrary, it is more broken, not even complete, but only half.The other half collapsed, and the gap was covered up with bricks and clutter that looked like it could, should, probably be.

Although the house is a bit dilapidated, it is not without its benefits.It is very close to the wooden tower, only about 50 meters away, and it cannot be closer. All the buildings around the wooden tower have been bulldozed for safety.

"Leave here, we have guns, leave if you don't want to die!" He knocked on the door lightly, but the reaction he got was completely different from what he expected. The people inside were so enthusiastic that even the sentinels on the wooden tower began to pay attention here.

"Camilla, do you remember Beers?" Hong Tao recognized the voice of a little girl. He didn't knock on the door again, but he didn't leave either. He only hoped that the name would remind her of delicious food.

"It's Uncle Biges...Shh, keep your voice down..." Sure enough, a little boy's voice came from the iron gate.He has a better memory for food, but is stopped by his sister.

"Uncle Biles, what are you doing here? My father hasn't come back yet..." Hong Tao could feel someone watching him from the crack of the door, but the door still didn't open.

Chapter 457

"I heard that there will be martial law at night, and you can't sleep on the street. Iszawi asked me to ask if your family can let me stay for one night."

Facing such a vigilant and obedient little girl, Hong Tao was too embarrassed to make up nonsense, so he simply told the truth.If you are allowed to live, you can live. If you don’t, it’s okay. You can sleep in the suburbs. In fact, it seems safer in the wild than here.

"...Crackling... You... Come in. Dad said you can't open the door for others, but Dad said you are a good person. I wanted to thank you, but I couldn't find it when I went to Uncle Iszawi's shop."

The two children discussed a few words in a low voice, as if they had reached a consensus, the iron door finally opened.The little girl was still a little uneasy, and planned to find a reason to dissolve her fear.

"Boom... Kacha, Kacha, Kacha..." When the front foot stepped in, the iron door was closed with the back foot, and then there was a continuous sound of latches.Every time Hong Tao thought that there would be no next one, he was always wrong.

Looking back, my good guy, there are 6 simple bolts made of steel bars from top to bottom. It seems that as long as the door is unwilling to open inside, even if the door frame is removed, it cannot be opened. It is too strong.

It feels a bit dark when entering the house from the sunny outside, but it is actually dark after the eyes are familiar with it.All the windows in the house were sealed with wooden boards, and even had steel bars. It seemed that only half of the windows could be opened, otherwise it would be completely dark.

As for the furniture and decoration, let’s not mention it. The tables, chairs, benches, wardrobes and bookshelves are all old, and they are 100% not a set.Bookshelves, that's right, bookshelves, not only the shelves but also the books, there are three floors.

"Reading?" Just when Hong Tao wanted to go over to see what books were there, he caught a glimpse of two open books and two small blackboards on a table in the corner that was just exposed to sunlight.

"Dad said, you can only go out after finishing your homework!" The little girl was more precocious, a bit like a young adult, and she knew how to bring a stool for Hong Tao.The little boy leaned against the door stupidly, staring at Hong Tao with one finger still in his mouth.

"The children here also study?" Hong Tao had never seen what the refugees living in other forces looked like, but he had been wandering in Xinjiang for several years, and it was the first time he saw the children of the refugees studying.

Could it be that the Redeemer has prepared teachers for the children of refugees, which is a great thing. Without a reserve of knowledge, no matter how many children are born, it will be difficult to restore technology.If this is the case, I have to look up to the high-level vision of the Redeemer.

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

"What's the use of reading?" Well, the slightest expectation just mentioned was extinguished again.

"Be a resident! Dad said that after learning the textbooks, you can go to the base to find a job!" The little boy would rush to answer, preferring to show off. He knew the answer to this question.

"Your father read a lot, why didn't he find a job in the base?" Hong Tao pointed to the bookshelf opposite, a little puzzled.

He is really not a good guy, and he doesn't want to discourage children's enthusiasm for learning, but he doesn't want to use deceptive means to fool children into studying.Being fooled for a while will not last a lifetime. Reading is a long and arduous process, and being fooled alone is useless.

"...Dad used to work in the base, but he was kicked out after he broke his leg!" This time the little boy was silent, but the little girl heard that there was disrespect in his words, and she was anxious to tell her father apart.

"Well, you are all good children, and your father is also a good father. I have also read the book, and I have two questions, and I will be rewarded if I get it right!" It turned out that the father of the two children was cleared out from the base.

It's a pity that such a person's arms and legs are not important, but the brain is the essence.There are so many children in the Redeemer base who can't even be taught to read and write. Even if they are kindergarten teachers, they can be regarded as giving full play to their talents.

Now that I have seen it today, I can't pretend that nothing happened.I can't do too much, but it is still possible to make children more interested in learning, which is better than nothing.

In the next two hours or so, Hong Tao continued to have math and language problems, and the two children were motivated by dried fish and cheese.They may never know that there are so many benefits to reading, their little faces are full of excitement, and their eyes are more agile.

"Bang bang bang... Camilla, Jiajia, Dad is back..." Just as the sun was setting, there was a knock on the iron door, and there was a man's voice that was obviously tired.

"Dad..." The child who was writing on the small blackboard a moment ago, preparing to win more food, rushed out the next moment, pulled open the door bolt with all hands and feet, and pulled in a face from left to right. Thin, dark man all over his face.

"You..." Originally, the man had a smile on his face, but when he saw the tall and burly Hong Tao, his whole body tensed up immediately. He blocked the two children behind with a swipe of his hands, and his eyes kept looking Sweep both sides.

"The herdsman...the meat-delivering herdsman! Iszawi knows you, the streets are under martial law, and I will sleep at your house all night!" You can talk to children without pretending to be so deliberate, but you still can't let your guard down when you meet adults.

"You are, you are...Mr. Beers! Great, great, I went to Mr. Iszawi's store twice to find you and you are not there... Oh, I am a little dirty, wait for me to wash, You sit, you sit... Camilla, go pour some water for uncle!"

As soon as the herdsman was mentioned, the man's expression immediately changed from vigilance to surprise. He took two steps and was about to shake hands with Hong Tao. He stretched out his hands before realizing that his hands were all black. He was very embarrassed. Wash with water.

"The herdsmen are not afraid of these things when shepherding sheep every day... Good boy, you teach well!" After a short photo, without saying a few serious words, Hong Tao dared to conclude that this thin middle-aged man with a little lame leg was an intellectual molecular.

No reason or reasoning, just a feeling.In this man, I can see the shadow of my father back then, especially the stubbornness and unwillingness that flashed in his eyes when he was embarrassed.The huge pressure of life can overwhelm him, but he has not surrendered in his heart.

There are two things to pay attention to when dealing with this kind of people. First, there is no mercy; they still have persistence in their bones, and it is a serious insult to pity them with material things.Second, don't show off your wealth, it will make them look down on them from the root.

Of course, people all have vanity, but their positions are different.Praising people is also an art, as the saying goes, do what you like.This person is currently penniless, and has already reached the bottom, so what are you bragging about?It's easy to boast about the things they find most fulfilling, like education.
