53 House of Mine
The old cow walked to the long wooden pole, carefully took a white thread from the bottom of the wooden pole, then picked up the pole, and poled two poles on the jujube tree to cut red dates all over the floor.
He Jun sighed at the old cow and said with disdain: "You have quite a lot of decorations in your yard, landmines? Haha..."
He Jun's tone was no longer good, but he saw Gao Qi bent down on the ground to check the dates, but he didn't say much, but just said to Gao Qi: "Clean and eat before washing."
There was a large water tank next to the well, and a gourd ladle hung on the water tank. Before He Jun could reach out, Lao Niu said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, there are still landmines..."
He Jun was stunned, and then he said angrily: "Old thing!"
Gao Qi quickly said, "Brother Jun! Don't be angry, don't be angry."
Gao Qi held a handful of red dates in his hand. He handed the dates to He Jun and said, "Eat a date, it's very sweet."
He Jun took a date and threw it into his mouth. Gao Qi said to Lao Niu: "Uncle Niu, call the children out."
Lao Niu finally said, "Zixuan, take the children out."
A woman who looks quite old is very dark, with a ponytail, holding a child in her left hand and holding a child in her right hand. The muzzle of a rifle sticks out from her shoulders and slowly walks out of the house.
The two children, the older one looks seven or eight years old, and the younger one is still holding the woman's arms.
After three people came out of the house, the older child looked at Gao Qi with curious eyes, but the older child looked at Gao Qi with a glance and immediately hid behind his mother.
Gao Qi couldn't tell what he was feeling, so he could only smile kindly and said in a deep voice: "Hello, I am Daniu's friend, and I'm here to pick you up into the city now."
The woman stared at Gao Qi blankly and said, "Is the big bull gone?"
The woman asked knowingly, but after asking, she immediately said to Lao Niu without waiting for Gao Qi's answer: "Dad, the big Niu is gone, I...I don't want to enter the city."
Lao Niu didn't talk to Gao Qi, but he just said sadly: "Have you thought about it? This was exchanged for the big Niu's life."
The woman wiped her eyes, and she whispered in tears: "Think about it, Dad, it's not necessarily a good thing for people like us to enter the city. Big bull is alive, but what else can we do when we enter the city without him?"
Old Niu sighed softly, then he looked at Gao Qi and whispered: "This...supervisor."
Gao Qi said, "You can call me Gao Qi or Qi Zi."
He Jun said with a stern face: "This is our deputy team leader and our team leader Gao."
Lao Niu whispered: "Team Leader Gao, the big bull is gone, so the children will not go to the city. We will leave the bullets behind, but ten thousand rounds are enough. Thank you for your concern for our family. I am really grateful."
Gao Qi frowned.
On this wasteland, it is not uncommon to turn around and kill me, but there is one thing, that is, you have to keep your word.
Especially what Huang Fei said must be kept in mind, which has nothing to do with character, but in terms of his identity and what he does, he must also have a good reputation.
It is not easy for Huang Fei to establish a reputation among the deserted people. It cannot be ruined because the big bull is destroyed, so Gao Qi still has to persuade him.
"Uncle Niu, and this sister-in-law, our team leader Huang must keep his word. Don't worry, he will definitely arrange you into the city. If you enter the city, you will not talk about other benefits, at least it is safe enough."
Lao Niu whispered: "Team Leader Gao, thank you for your kindness, but the children still won't go. I think they are helpless when they enter the city. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. It's better to follow me. With these ten thousand bullets, we can live a good life."
Is it really okay to enter the city? Gao Qi began to wonder.
The people in the city have enough food, clean drinking water, electricity, and too many things that are not available on the wasteland, but not everyone can enjoy those things. The children of the big bull can indeed enjoy basic education when they enter the city, but the rest should not be able to enjoy anything else.
If the big bull doesn't die, he can work in the superpower group, so his children will definitely have a good future, but now the big bull is dead.
But think about the increasingly crowded space in the city, how long can the children of deserted people stay in the city? Also, the children of deserted people will definitely be discriminated against when entering the city, so is it really good to let the children grow up in such an environment?
But Gao Qi didn't expect that someone could really refuse the temptation to enter the city.
Gao Qi looked at He Jun and said, "Brother Jun, how to deal with this situation?"
He Jun said disapprovingly: "If they don't want to enter the city, they won't go in. In fact, it's better if they don't enter the city in this situation."
Gao Qi thought for a moment, and then he suddenly said, "Uncle Niu, how many people are there in your family?"
The old giant was stunned for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice: "Nine."
"Call them all to me and see."
The old Niu immediately showed a vigilant look, raised his hands high, and said, "Don't think too much, I want you to say so much. If I ask you to call people, it will definitely be beneficial rather than bad."
Lao Niu thought for a while, then he nodded, put his fingers into his mouth and whistled.
A few minutes passed, and slowly someone started to walk into the yard.
First there was an old woman, holding an 81-bar rifle, then an old man who looked similar to the old cow, and then two younger men, each of them carrying guns on them. After a while, two girls walked into the yard.
When the people arrived, Lao Niu pointed to the man who looked similar to him and said, "This is my wife, this is my younger brother, this is my youngest son, this is my nephew, and those two girls are my niece."
It was indeed a family. Lao Niu's youngest son looked at Gao Qi with a vigilant look. He was holding a 95 rifle in his hand. Although the muzzle was facing the ground, he could shoot with just one lift.
Gao Qi looked at the people in the yard and said, "There are only nine of you, no one else?"
"It's gone."
Gao Qi continued: "Do you have any contact with the deserted people nearby? Do you have any friends?"
"What do you want to do?"
Lao Niu's youngest son suddenly asked, Gao Qi waved his hand and said, "I don't want to call you to kill you, there is no need. You honestly answer my question. I can decide whether I can help you."
Lao Niu whispered: "The children are old and it's time to get married. When Da Niu was alive, we went to the nearby village to see it, but we didn't dare to have too many people."
“So is there a suitable one?”
"No, the people here are too... wild, the children don't want to do it, mainly because the two daughters didn't agree, and we didn't mention this matter again. No one dared to provoke us when Da Niu was there, and we didn't bother to provoke others. However, when he first arrived here, Da Niu still killed a few people to gain a foothold."
Gao Qi nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Niu, I think you are not young. What did you do before the disaster?"
Lao Niu thought for a moment and said, "I was in the army. My brother was still in school at that time. When I recovered, I just arrived at home. The first disaster came. I returned to my hometown and never came out again."
Gao Qi smiled and said, "Very good, why do you guys come out?"
The old cow sighed lightly and said, "The mountains are too bitter. If you plant some food, you will be ruined by wild animals. The children are grown up. The boy can't say he is a wife, and the girls can't get married. If it weren't for the help of it, they wouldn't dare to come out."
"Are there any relatives in the mountains? Are there any other families?"
"No, it's almost dead."
“How long have you been here?”
"It's about half a year, only half a year."
Gao Qi made up his mind, so he smiled and said, "I have a place to settle you, the farm opened by the pioneer group. I know you are afraid that I will cheat you, but listen to me first.
There are only three people left on my farm, and now I need labor. I can decide who to let in. The farm is definitely not as safe as the city, but it is definitely safer than here. After entering the farm, you still have enough food and a safe house. This is the advantage. The disadvantage is that you have to obey management and work. When necessary, you have to protect the farm. But to put it bluntly, protect the farm is to protect yourself. You must understand this principle."
He spread his hands, Gao Qi said sincerely: "I am not familiar with Daniu, but I can't live now without his help. I recognize this favor, so I will give you a relatively better place. I will not persuade you or force you, nor will I wait for you to make a decision slowly. If you are willing to go now, I will pull you over. If you don't go, I will leave here. It's that simple."
Lao Niu did not agree or refuse. After pondering for a while, he said seriously: "What are the rules on the farm?"
"If the farm manager asks you to do whatever work, you just do it. If someone comes to fight the farm, you will defend the farm. If you collude with the deserted people and fight into the farm, then someone will be responsible for killing your whole family. The rules are very simple. I think you are not fools who can survive until now. You must know what you can do and what you can't do."
Lao Niu looked at his family, and his younger brother whispered: "Brother, is there such a good thing?"
Whether the farm is good depends on where to compare it with. It is definitely not as good as the city, but it is much better than the life of the deserted people. Therefore, in the eyes of any deserted people, being able to enter the farm is a good thing.
He Jun said impatiently: "Does it work? Don't be shameless. Team leader Gao is lucky to see you."
Gao Qi reached out to stop He Jun from acting arrogantly, and then he said lightly: "You can use landmines, I think this is very useful. If you want to go to the farm, show me your landmines. If you don't want to go, you don't have to show them. Please discuss it. I'll wait for you outside for five minutes, and you will give me a reply in five minutes."
When Gao Qi walked out, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Oh, forgot, I will take the superpower team tonight to clean up the surroundings of the farm. No one dares to provoke my farm in the future. This is another advantage. Okay, please discuss it."
Lao Niu seemed to have made a decision, and he whispered: "Team Leader Gao, our family can play with landmines. Not only landmines, but also we can do and use what can be blown. If you want to see it, I will show you my skills."
Lao Niu tried to prove his value with his family, just like what Gao Qi did at Huang Fei, so Gao Qi was very happy. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's see."
