Three Hundred and Forty Eight, What Are You Pretending?
Two days before the mud was dug to make adobes, everyone communicated whether we should run away, or we should go back and be bandits, or we should do the opposite!
As a result, on the third day, the question everyone discussed suddenly changed: "How many bullets do you have?"
"Hey, it's 10 pieces," Jin Lan said, "I feel like I'll be able to hold a gun in less than a month!"
Obviously they already have guns, and they have to work here to be eligible to hold guns again. It sounds absurd, but everyone suddenly enjoys it.
Being able to hold a gun suddenly seemed like an honor.
At first, there were quite a few people who were lazy, and they all pretended not to work hard. When others were working, they would lie on the edge of the river bed basking in the sun and sleep, or watch others work.
But on the third day, it was a bit different. Those who hadn’t worked before felt a little ashamed. They were still working when others were resting, just to make up for the progress that was lost in the previous two days.
Otherwise, when everyone else has a gun, it will be so embarrassing to be empty-handed.
And Yang Xiaojin said that if one person is missing, he can't teach.
This made Jin Lan murmur, he and Zhang Yiheng are each in charge of more than a hundred people now, and it is clear who is progressing fast and who is slow under them.
Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng summed it up, and some people were really far behind, so Jin Lan took the lead in having a small meeting: "That's right, our goal is to save up a hundred bullets for guns as soon as possible, but some people If they are still lazy, I will not care about them, but you have also seen that they are also very anxious, so, as the captain, I will donate a bullet to them."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yiheng also said to the second team: "I will also donate a bullet I earned."
The bandits looked at each other, and waited for a long time before someone hesitated and said: "Then I will donate one too, but I have to pay it back after I agree in advance!"
After a while, a large group of people donated five or six coins. Although there was still a gap, the distance was shortened.
Jin Lan nodded in relief: "Our brothers are doing well, keep working!"
Ren Xiaosu watched from a distance, and suddenly he said to Yang Xiaojin beside him: "I once saw a book in the library of Fortress 88. It was hidden in a corner, and it was called "The Crowd."
"There is a saying in this book,
Once a person is in a group, his IQ drops severely. In order to gain recognition, individuals are willing to put aside right and wrong, and use their IQ in exchange for a sense of belonging that makes people feel more secure." Ren Xiaosu continued: "Perhaps this is why it is so easy to be in a group. The reason for being brainwashed. "
Yang Xiaojin said calmly: "You mean, they are in this situation now?"
Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "I prefer to believe that this is the power of hope."
When a group has a common goal, these bandits who share weal and woe are also looking for ways to achieve that goal as soon as possible, and friendship is born at this time.
While Jin Lan and the others were working, he suddenly noticed two newcomers coming beside him, and after a closer look, they turned out to be Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin.
Seeing that Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin took off their shoes and rolled up their sleeves, Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng hurriedly said, "You two don't need to work, you two should rest, we can just do it."
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not a pampered person. The adobes we make can be divided equally between your two teams, and your captain will assign them to the team members."
The bandits were stunned for a while, they never thought that Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin would work with them.
Shouldn't the big men rest in the back? When they were in the factory, the foreman didn't do any work. When they went to the coal mine, the foreman would sit outside and rest and supervise the work.
And these two in front of me are much more powerful than the foreman, these two are extraordinary, especially Yang Xiaojin, this is a woman, even women work with them, this sister-in-law is really a bit different.
Ren Xiaosu's face darkened: "What are you still doing, lazy?"
Jin Lan was happy: "No, no, brothers continue to work!"
The bandits worked silently, their work was still the same, and their goal was still the same, but when Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin jumped into the ditch, there seemed to be something extra.
A little more human touch.
At this moment, smoke and dust rose up outside. Ren Xiaosu was too familiar with this scene, and a new bandit had arrived.
According to Yang Xiaojin's estimate, there should be more than 3,000 bandits on the front line of Guanshan, Tangwangshan, and Dabanshan, but they have only gathered more than 200 now, which is still far away.
Although they knew that there were more bandits as they went north, they had fewer bandits in the south.
But no new bandits came yesterday, Ren Xiaosu was still a little disappointed.
The new group of bandits probably consisted of more than 30 people. They saw a large group of people working here from a distance, and they were ecstatic. There are so many refugees in this settlement, and they are getting rich!
Seen from a distance, Jin Lan, Zhang Yiheng, and Ren Xiaosu had muddy arms and legs, and they didn't even have a gun in their hands. What are they not refugees?
And in this wilderness, refugees are the most obedient, they can be caught just like livestock.
However, when they came to the front, the bandit leader suddenly felt something was wrong. He saw Ren Xiaosu and the others all straightened up and watched them approach calmly.
The bandit leader suddenly muttered: "Why do I feel that they are not afraid of us at all?"
At this moment, Jin Lan sighed and said, "What the hell, there will be newcomers joining, and they haven't even started saving a single bullet yet."
In his heart, Jin Lan already knew the fate of these foreign bandits, he just felt sorry for himself...
The bandit stopped his motorcycle by the river ditch, and he pointed his gun at Ren Xiaosu: "Go ashore, haha, why are you in the mood to make adobes? Who allowed you to make adobes?"
Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng looked at each other, and at the same time began to mourn for the new bandit leader.
Half an hour later, the bandit leader with a bruised nose and a swollen face rolled up his sleeves in the ditch. He asked Jin Lan with swollen eyes, "How many adobes do you have to make every day?"
Jin Lan said unhappily: "You people have delayed our big event, you know, let me tell you, if you don't make thirty bricks today, you won't be able to sleep."
At this time, the bandit leader glanced at Zhang Yiheng next to him: "Wait, I know you, aren't you the big bandit leader from the west slope of Daban Mountain? Why are you here?"
Zhang Yiheng also said in a bad mood: "Dig your mud, stop talking nonsense."
The new bandit leader felt too aggrieved: "Aren't you all bandits? Why are you pretending to be refugees here? If I know you have so many bandits here, I won't come!"
