Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 28: Into town

   Bai Chen was silent for a while, glanced at each side, and turned the topic off:

   "Are you still accepting the wild wanderers from outside?"

   Tian Erhe followed her gaze and looked at a dilapidated tent.

   "No more." He sighed unabashedly, "The field is almost running out of points."

   Having said this, he laughed like a mockery:

"That is to say, a guy like me who is easy to be soft-hearted will not see others suffer. If I can help, I will try my best to help. The other people in the town are actually not too willing. After all, the terrain here is special and there is no way to open new fields. There is an upper limit to the harvest. With more people, everyone can get less.

"In the past, I could still use insufficient population and insufficient field utilization to suppress them. Now, we are all growing mushrooms in the woodland behind. Hehe, anyway, I am old and my body is getting worse and worse, so I should not have the opportunity to go out again. If you don’t see it, you won’t be softened."

   Bai Chen couldn't help but replied:

   "Don't always mention that you are old. Isn't this very energetic?"

"Good, good." Tian Erhe straightened the fluffy hat on his head, and then smiled, "There are really good things in the ruins of the old world cities. Before, Lao Man and Xiao Niu got back a book called " The book "Mushroom Planting and Cultivation Techniques" can really make things out of it."

  Bai Chen smiled a little:

   "The mushrooms are good, they are delicious."

   She paused and then said:

   "I can't promise anything. I can only say that if I have the opportunity in the future, I can sell you some high-yield grain seeds, as well as things to supplement the fertility of the fields."

   Tian Erhe's eyes lit up:

   "Then dare to love it!"

   While talking, the two passed through the square and came to the vicinity of the three buildings in the shape of "品".

   On the right side of the small square made of concrete, in front of the horizontal public toilet, there is an open space, and there are five or six broken cars parked on the open space.

   There are milky white cars, aluminum-colored small trucks, tall trucks, minibuses that can seat more than a dozen people, and unique electric vehicles...

   In addition to these, there are also a lot of three-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles squeezed nearby. Some rely on electricity, some require fuel, and some rely solely on manpower.

   There is a big shed here, covering all the vehicles in it.

On the left side of the shed, there are three bungalows side by side. Inside, there are certain openings, and various parts and accessories are placed in different categories.

   Some of them are damaged, some look very old, some are well maintained, and some are mixed with dry basketball and football.

   "Look if there is anything you need." Tian Erhe pointed to the three bungalows, "They were all demolished from the ruins of the city."

   Bai Chen said nothing more, entered the bungalow that served as a warehouse, and went around.

   Then, she pointed out several things in succession:

   "It, it, and it..."

   Tian Erhe nodded indifferently:

"no problem.

   "Baby girl, what are you going to exchange for?"

   Although he is the mayor, he is not qualified to give away items from the town.

   Of course, with his authority and the degree of respect he was in the town, he really wanted to do this, and no one opposed it. But for decades, Tian Erhe had never violated his principles.

   This is one of the reasons why he is so respected.

   Bai Chen subconsciously replied:

   "Food?"

   Tian Erhe thought back and said:

"Being not.

   "Although the weather has been a bit abnormal this year and the harvest is not very good, it has only been reduced by 20%. With the balance of the previous three years, it is not a problem to spend this winter.

   "If you can get a few pigs and a few cows over, then I will not only welcome with my hands and feet, but I will also post things to you! But I think this shouldn't be possible?"

What Shuiwei Town lacks most is meat, which can only be supplemented by dispatching small teams to go hunting-free-range chickens, ducks, geese, etc., when human food is not enough, the quantity will not increase, and from time to time. Will be wiped out by disease.

  Bai Chen gave a "um":

   "What do you think of my motorcycle?

   "If you use fuel, you should be able to find supplies."

"There is a city in ruins, and there is still a lot of oil left in the oil depot." Tian Erhe laughed like an old fox, "What else can we exchange? For us, besides being beautiful, what can this motorcycle have? Use it? How many people can be carried at one time?"

   Bai Chen said in preparation:

   "A light machine gun with 7.92mm bullets..."

   She described the length of the bullet and other parameters in detail.

   "Light machine gun?" Tian Erhe's wrinkled face seemed to shine, "This is a weapon for guarding the town, and we also have some of this type of bullet."

   Without waiting for Bai Chen's response, he clapped his hands and said:

   "That's the deal!"

"Okay, but I have to go back and discuss with them first." Bai Chen agreed without a bite. Although she had passed through Jiang Baimian's ditch before, she had enough negotiating power-for them, it was a light machine gun. Not only is it useless, but it also takes up space.

   Tian Erhe raised his head and glanced at the sky, frowned slightly, and thought for a moment:

   "It's going to rain soon, it's not early, it's not suitable to continue activities in the wilderness, um... you can bring your companions here and rest here for a night without removing your weapons.

   "I believe the companion who can be recognized by you will not be too bad."

   Bai Chen glanced at Tian Erhe with a little doubt, then looked up at the dark clouds gradually coming from the horizon.

   "Let me ask their opinions first." Bai Chen responded.

   Tian Erhe did not blame Bai Chen for his hesitation, but smiled:

   "Go ahead, the rain will come down sooner."

   Bai Chen immediately walked out of Shuiwei Town, took back his guns, rode a motorcycle, and returned to the place where Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were, and fully explained the details of the transaction and Tian Erhe’s kindness.

   "Group leader, what do you think?" Bai Chen leaned on the heavy motorcycle, waiting for Jiang Baimian to make a decision.

   Jiang Baimian did not raise the possibility that the people in Tianerhe or Shuiwei Town might harbor evil intentions, so he asked with interest:

   "That Mayor Tian is seventy-seven?

   "Experienced the destruction of the old world?"

   Bai Chen nodded without hesitation:

   "Yes, that's for sure. He has been saying this for so many years, and he often recalls the original things.

   "A lie may last a long time, but it will definitely bring benefits, and he has never deceived anything by relying on this identity."

   Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:

   "Then go."

   "Team leader, is this a little dangerous? Didn't you say that many wilderness wanderers may become wilderness bandits at any time?" Long Yuehong did not hide his worries.

   Jiang Baimian suddenly smiled and said:

   "Oh, can you remember this?

"Yes, there are concerns in this regard that you have made progress, but, with our firepower, as long as they are prepared, they dare not do anything. If they want to eat us, they will have to pay thirty or fifty lives. , And now it’s more than a month before winter, even if they don’t have much to eat, they won’t be willing to pay such a high price. Are we in danger or the wild beasts in danger?

   "Well, in winter, when people are almost starving to death, I can't take care of that much.

   "Besides, the environment in the settlement is restricted, and the scope is not large. For us, who are few and elite, it is a more favorable terrain."

  While speaking, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao with a smile.

   Shang Jian Yao immediately turned his head and looked at Long Yuehong, pretending to ask seriously:

   "Have you forgotten what group we are? Have you forgotten our responsibilities?"

"Old, old tune group, old world destruction cause investigation group..." Long Yuehong was not stupid, and instantly understood what Jiang Baimian asked Bai Chen's two questions before. "Team leader, you want to go from the field. Where did the mayor find a clue?"

"There may not be a clue. Mayor Tian was definitely not old at that time, but since I met him, I have to ask." Jiang Baimian turned his head, looked at Bai Chen, and said with a clear smile, "Do you think If you can trust the people in Shuiwei Town, then you can believe it, I believe you."

   Bai Chen's eyes drooped slightly, and said silently for a moment:

   "You can go."

   "Go!" Jiang Baimian retracted into the driver's seat and started the jeep.

   Under the guidance of Bai Chen, they went deep into the swamp, slowly moving forward in the almost indistinguishable road maze.

   Before the sky was completely gloomy, they arrived at Shuiwei Town.

   This time, UU reading www.uukanshu. With Tian Erhe's order, com members of the town guard no longer asked them to turn in their weapons, but led them to turn right immediately after entering the gate and parked outside a wooden shed at the corner of the wall.

"You can sleep in the shed tonight. Well, it's not a bad thing to take a shower." Tian Erhe replied briefly, "Don't make a bonfire. I'll let you bring a stove over and give you some charcoal. , Even as a bonus for this transaction. Our people will patrol and be on guard around, I believe you can understand."

  Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were looking curiously at the internal scenes of Shuiwei Town, while Jiang Baimian was not surprised, smiling to deal with Tian Erhe:

   "Understand and understand!

   "Mayor, I wonder if I can invite you to dinner together?"

   While she was talking, she took out a canned braised beef and a brownish-black leaf smoke.

   Tian Erhe kept his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face unfolded:

   "These are all good things!

   "What? What's the matter? What else do you want to trade?"

   Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

   "If you want to hear stories from the old world, you know, knowledge equals wealth."

   "Deal!" Tian Erhe smiled happily.

   He quickly turned his head and ordered the guard next to him:

   "Coyotito, hurry up, take my stove over! Hurry up!"

   The guard of the nickname Gouzi didn't dare to blame the mayor, and quickly ran to the three buildings in the shape of a character.

   At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the people working in the fields behind Shuiwei Town returned one after another, as did the nearby hunting team.

   The whole small town suddenly became lively, and a pair of curious eyes cast toward the corner where the jeep was parked.
