Chapter 132 Preparation

Brother Tong is also stingy. He waited for a whole day during the National Day, but didn't give any special rewards. He was expecting Brother Tong to love him again and reward him with some weapons or skills, but this heartless guy didn't say anything.

If the sign-in was not going on normally, he would have thought that Brother Tong had abandoned him and ran away.

After such a long time, let alone skills, they still don’t even provide staple food. Maybe the full name of Tongge is the poverty alleviation system, which can only solve the basic food and clothing problem. It seems that we can only wait until the Chinese New Year to see if Tongge still remembers him.

If Brother Tong couldn't be relied upon, he could only consider getting this family of hunters to the new dungeon to hunt, and then wait for the acquisition himself. They were all familiar with the dungeon, and at least it was safer. However, the space was difficult to explain and he had to think of a good excuse. In addition, the letter of introduction was more troublesome, so he had to think of a safer way.

When the man heard that Zhang Xingwang agreed to go for the transaction, he smiled even more happily. He immediately started to lead the way and urged Zhang Xingwang to set off early, saying that they would feel relieved if the item was sold earlier. In the past few days, their family took turns to watch over the item and were worried all day long.

The two chatted for a while while walking on the road. The man said that after he exchanged food and money for money last time, he secretly gave a few kilograms of cornmeal to two fathers in the village who had a good relationship with him, and his mother didn't know where to hide the rest.

He was still lucky because his wife secretly gave him a pack of cigarettes. But the old man was in a miserable situation. Not to mention the wine, he didn't even see the cigarette butts. His mother took them all away, and finally came over and forcibly took half a pack from him.

As for money, the father and son said they had never seen it, were not interested in money, and it was not within their consideration, as that was the woman's business.

It is said that the old man was the head of the family after marriage and of course kept his own money. Later, his wife gave him some small problems with spending money and the fact that he was not smart enough in life.

On the pretext that she was smarter than the old man and knew how to get by, she took charge of the family's finances despite the old man's skeptical gaze.

From then on, the old man never saw a bill worth more than fifty cents. After his daughter-in-law came into the family, she learned from her husband very well and didn't even need to prepare herself. Relying on the two days of life experience she learned from her mother-in-law, she directly made her son obedient.

The old man still can't forget the look in his son's eyes when he looked at him, thinking "You're not a human being."

But the next day after giving food to the elders, the village chief and his wife came and sat at home. They kept saying that this family in the village couldn't survive and that family would freeze to death in the winter. His wife was even more tearful and kept talking about the relatives of this family and that family in the village. In short, they all had the same ancestor. It almost drove the whole family crazy.

Finally, the village chief saw that they had no reaction, took a deep puff of his cigarette and then said it bluntly. Anyway, everyone has seen the recent changes in their family, and although they are all related, they are still jealous.

There won't be any extreme behavior, but there are many people gossiping in front of the village chief, and people are not fools.

The village chief felt helpless after hearing this, but he had no other choice. Even if the yield per mu was 10,000 catties, he would not see it. The village canteen was just a small foundation, and he was worried about how to survive until next year.

Finally, it was the man's mother who spoke up and asked the village chief directly:

"What do you want?"

"Sister-in-law, I thought if you can, please give some of it to everyone. I will give everyone an explanation. At most, some people will gossip about it later. But if my brother and his family are not at home, and someone makes trouble, you can come to me directly. After all, it's just you and the child at home, and you need someone to take care of them. This is just a matter of this time. I won't be ashamed to come again."

"Okay, then what if they go out in the future?"

"Just say hello to me, I know what to say. But I won't admit that I took anything from you, sister-in-law, you have to understand."

It is said that when the village chief was leaving with 20 kilograms of corn and some miscellaneous items, he and his wife bowed to the old man and his family. After all, this was something they had risked their lives to get.

Later, some villagers said that they saw the accountant secretly giving food to several families in debt and suffering from famine at night, and the village chief was watching nearby. No one believed it and shook their heads, saying that it was the middle of the night and it would be okay if he was just giving warmth to the widow. They would still believe it even if the village chief and the accountant did it together.

Later I heard from the village chief's wife that after she went back home and woke up in the late night, she heard her husband crying secretly. The strong man was crying in the middle of the night and muttering things like "What can I do?" and "It's so embarrassing".

From that day on, although some people still said sarcastic words in front of the old man's family, if the village chief found out, they would be severely scolded.

The two men talked as they walked. Although Zhang Xingwang was carrying a bulging sack this time, he was still able to keep up with the man easily and did not feel any difficulty.

It seems that my health has become weaker recently, so I have to keep taking the medicine. I just can't get rid of the title of a medicine bottle.

The two walked for nearly three hours before they finally arrived at a secluded canyon. The man frankly introduced that this was the retreat route they had prepared for themselves.

This generation has an unwritten rule that as long as the conditions permit, farmers will secretly hide food and prepare for it, and hunters will find a cave or something to prepare for it, just in case something unexpected happens.

There are many people who didn't prepare when they had the conditions, and suffered later. In short, those who can survive until now are those who are more cunning and have a relatively low bottom line.

When they arrived near the canyon, the man's wife suddenly appeared from nowhere, greeted Zhang Xingwang, and taught Zhang Xingwang a severe lesson. If she really had any intentions, he would definitely walk into a tiger's mouth this time, because he was not picking up a courier, but delivering takeout to others.

I calmed myself down and consoled myself by saying: The fact that someone showed up to say hello to him meant that they had no regard for his body and were only after his money.

The three of them walked and chatted for a while and arrived at the center of the canyon. The canyon was not big, only about 80 or 90 meters long, and only a dozen meters wide at the widest point. No one knew how it was formed. There were no cliffs around it, but dense forests. There were only some rocks at the entrance. It was a good hidden place in the mountains.

Before he got close, he saw the old man sliding down from the big tree at the edge of the canyon and walking towards Zhang Xingwang with a smile. After a few words of greeting, he couldn't wait to pull Zhang Xingwang to the place where the wild boar was "stored".

Seeing that the other party had gathered, Zhang Xingwang was relieved, thinking that he didn't have to worry about being robbed by the other party. He then came to the innermost part of the canyon, and heard the call of wild boars before he got close.

When they looked over, they saw that the ground was a natural pit about one meter deep, surrounded by dense trees. The only opening was facing them, with a wall fixed with tree stumps. If they hadn't seen four wild boars with their legs tied inside, it would have looked quite real.

Sure enough, these three are ruthless people with some skills. Then Zhang Xingwang asked, how long are they going to stay? The three said that they were going to return to the village after the transaction, which was exactly what Zhang Xingwang wanted, so that he would not be able to explain to them when he collected the wild boar.
