Three Hundred Fifty-Three, Family

Yang Xiaojin tilted her head and looked at Ren Xiaosu. In the past two days, she has started to think about what kind of house she should build here.

Surely it can't be crowded with other bandits? Could it be bigger, such as a kitchen and a small yard, let Ren Xiaosu go to the wilderness to catch some pigs and pheasants to domesticate them again, maybe even raise two cows.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaojin also began to look forward to the new bricks coming out of the kiln tomorrow.

But her house might have to wait. After all, the masonry house here still has a lot of gaps. Since Ren Xiaosu wants to lead by example, then she is not afraid to endure hardships with Ren Xiaosu.

But she was curious, now that the guns have been sent out, what goal will Ren Xiaosu use to keep them together next?

But Ren Xiaosu said: "Starting tomorrow, continue to press the bricks. The bricks from the next kiln will not be used to build a house. Let's build fortifications."

Jin Lan muttered, "I thought I could stop working."

Although Ren Xiaosu is trying to change their thinking, the deep-rooted habits are difficult to change. In Jin Lan's view, if the bandits have guns, they should burn, kill, and loot. Even if they don't want to burn, kill, and loot now, There's no need to keep working.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly said: "Starting tomorrow, if you accumulate two hundred bullets, you can get a motorcycle."

Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng looked at the brand-new motorcycle with sparkling eyes. After they came to this settlement, they haven't touched a motorcycle for a long time.

Men like things with a sense of power, and cars are one of them. Whether it's a two-wheeled motorcycle or a four-wheeled car, when the engine roars, it's like their heartfelt roar, which is full of joy.

Xu Jinyuan hesitated a little, should he hurry to work and exchange for a motorcycle? Moreover, he is a technical worker, so he must change motorcycles faster than others.

The next morning, Ren Xiaosu woke up and walked to the river. The spring flood will last for a long time, and the hotter the weather, the wider the river will be.

In summer, the river that spreads for an unknown distance will run across this wasteland like the lifeline of human beings.

Ren Xiaosu walked all the way to the settlement. Today was the day when the brick kiln produced bricks. The bandits felt that the progress of only one brick kiln was a bit slow, so they planned to build a new one, and it would be bigger.

Someone asked Jin Lan, why did they buy so many bricks? The house will be finished sooner or later, and will the brick kiln still be useful.

Jin Lan said mysteriously: "What if a 179 barrier is suddenly built here?"

Regarding the question of why Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin came here,

I have been lingering in the bandit's mind for a long time. After thinking about it for a long time, everyone guessed whether the 178 barrier is planning to extend its influence inland. Isn't this empty river valley area a good choice?

No consortium built barriers here before because this three-way zone is too sensitive, and no one else will agree to whoever builds it here.

But if it is as strong as the 178 barrier, if you want to make a move, I am afraid that the Yang family who is caught in the war will not be able to stop it, and the northern Zong family will not be able to defeat the 178 barrier. Although the position is not very good, the timing is good!

Moreover, if the mineral deposits of the 178 barrier want to be sold far inland, this river valley area is the only way for them to pass through!

Thinking of this, Jin Lan and the others felt that they understood...

Along the way, everyone would warmly greet each other and call out brothers when they met each other, as if last night after Ren Xiaosu said that they became a family, everyone really became a family to each other.

Some people really believe it, and some people don't. But in this environment, it is hard for unbelievers to say anything.

At this time, the brothers brought by Xu Jinyuan watched all this silently, they didn't believe it anyway.

Someone counted the days, and the time given to them by the leader is running out. According to the agreement, they should sneak out to report tonight, complete the plot in the wilderness, and then carry out a surprise attack tomorrow night.

"Brother Xu, let's get ready to withdraw," someone said to Xu Jinyuan, "Tonight..."

Xu Jinyuan stared at him: "What are you talking about? How can I leave my family?"

The bandits under his command: "???"

God what a family! Are you so crazy! ?

At first everyone thought Xu Jinyuan was joking, but when they got serious, they found that Xu Jinyuan was serious!

"Brother Xu, didn't you say you didn't believe what they did before?" a bandit said aggrievedly.

Xu Jinyuan sighed: "Is there a good death for being a bandit? Have you ever heard of a bandit enjoying his old age?"

Everyone recalled it carefully, and it seems that there is really no such thing.

Xu Jinyuan continued: "You have also contacted Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin, let alone whether they are members of the 178 barrier, let's just say, how do you think they compare with our previous leader?"

"From the perspective of strength, both sides are extraordinary people," the little bandit analyzed: "But there are two people here."

"Personally speaking, this place is indeed more comfortable," someone said, "In our place, the atmosphere is quite depressing, and we don't even dare to take a breath."

Xu Jinyuan nodded: "Then where is it?"

"Like a family, able to joke around, work together..."

"So let's not talk about anything else, which one do you think is better from the bottom of your heart?" Xu Jinyuan said, "Do you think I've been fooled? No, it's Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin who gave me a glimmer of hope."

Xu Jinyuan looked at Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng who were moving bricks in the distance. Is it because these bandits chose to stay here because they were brainwashed?

No, but they all saw a power called hope, so they willingly joined the scam.

If a scam can really bring everyone a better life, is it still a scam?

Xu Jinyuan once lost sleep all night, and finally made his own decision.

"Then we won't cooperate with each other?" Someone asked tentatively.

"Well," Xu Jinyuan nodded, "I'll find a chance to tell my elder brother about this later, so that he can guard against sneak attacks."

"Then if he knows we are here as spies, will he reject us?" Someone asked.

Xu Jinyuan was stunned for a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "I believe he won't."

With that said, Xu Jinyuan walked towards where Ren Xiaosu was. He thought he could persuade all the brothers to stay, but after all, some of the brothers below him sneaked away. Before leaving, the escaped bandit said: "Although I also think it is very Okay, but you see, other people don’t even know how to hold a gun, and when the leader comes over, this place will be wiped out overnight, I don’t want to die!”

The others looked at each other, unable to make a choice.

When Xu Jinyuan walked up to Ren Xiaosu and was hesitating what to say, Ren Xiaosu smiled and turned to look at him and asked, "When will those bandits come?"
