body 655 benefactor

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Two days after the end-apocalyptic winter came to the benefactor of 655, a circle of courtyard walls more than two meters high rose from the ground, and a small half of the ceiling was built with rags and scaffolding inside.  After the scalper settled the refugees' wages and closed the courtyard door, Hong Tao started to work again. He actually pointed to the ground under the ceiling and took the lead in picking up the pickaxe.

    "Brother Mouse, there are construction wastes underneath, and digging the basement is prone to landslides." The scalper probably guessed what the boss was going to do, so he dug a hole to hide things.  It really lives up to its name, mice can dig holes, or hit wherever they go.

    "Don't talk nonsense, if you want furniture, dig quickly! If you want to go to the red zone for gold, dig quickly. Anyone who doesn't dig is not allowed to go, and he is not allowed to ask for furniture!" Hong Tao didn't listen to persuasion at all, and his picks became more and more vigorous.

    "Take the tools, what are you looking at? Brother Shu said he can dig, so let's go together!" Hu Yang blinked and couldn't figure out what the hell this guy was doing.  But as soon as I heard that there was a way to go to the red zone to continue panning for gold, I immediately stopped asking, let's do it!

    "Don't, don't be a swarm. Three people dig three people and go back to the building to rest. Pile the soil to the wall, don't throw it outside the ceiling!" But Hong Tao said something else, he divided the people into two groups, and hid  Work under the canopy without crossing the line at all.

    Although everyone didn't know what he was going to do, Yuluo's myth made them follow blindly again. They didn't continue to discuss whether they should dig or not, but started working in an orderly manner.

    It can be said that the progress of the project has not been smooth. Just like what the scalper said, the soil layer here is very shallow, and it is almost full of construction waste below one foot.  Most of the time, shovels and picks have lost their function, and only crowbars and hands can be used to dig out cement blocks of various sizes.

    "Brother Shu, something's not right. There seems to be a wall under here. The grade of cement is quite high, so it's very laborious to dig." It took a long time to dig. When the depth of the pit reached below one meter, the scalper became restless.  .  At first I thought it was a relatively large piece of cement, but it was not the case at all when I chiseled it a few times with a steel drill.

    "Hehehe That's right! Don't worry about that wall for now, and continue digging from the south side of the wall!" Hong Tao was not lazy, he was competing with a large piece of cement red brick a few meters away, after listening to the scalper.  Complaining immediately came over to take a look, with a smile on his face.

    "Boom, boom Brother Hu, Brother Hu, I am Heilong, and the carriage you hired is here" Before the scalper could ask again, there was a shout from outside the gate, and Lu Wei'an came back.

    "Carriage? When did I hire a carriage!" Hu Yang was sitting in the door of the building drinking tea and resting, when he heard someone calling himself, although he got up, his steps were very slow, and he patted his head while walking.

    "I'm here, I'm here" Hong Tao ran over in three steps at a time and opened the gate bolt.

    "Oh, brother, do you still recognize me?" There was a carriage parked outside the door, and there were two people sitting in it.  The dark fat man was Lu Wei'an, and the thin-faced old man was the driver who brought them over from the North Station that day.

    "Oh I remembered You guys are doing well?" The driver was old, but his eyes were sharp. He only fixed on Hong Tao's face for a few seconds and found the matching picture from his memory.

    "If you want to talk about this, I have to thank you Come on, drive the car in, and sit down and drink hot tea first."

    Hong Tao cupped his hands at the driver, stretched out his hand to grab the reins, and before the horse's head dodged, he put his other hand on the bridge of its nose and stroked it a few times.  The gray, shabby-haired old horse followed Hong Tao to the yard without waiting for the old man's order.

    "Have you found a job?" The driver didn't stop him, he jumped out of the car and followed, looking around.  Looking at a group of people digging a hole, they seemed to understand something.

    "To be honest, we bought this place. It's going to be winter, and I want to build a septic tank. It's too expensive to hire people, and the brothers are all capable. If it's not too delicate, we can do it ourselves. Come on.  , take your seat."

    When Bungy Zhu came over, Hong Tao handed over the reins to him, and accompanied the driver into the gate of the building, where he sat on Populus euphratica's recliner, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea.

    "Good guy, it's not cheap! Looks like I missed it, you are not ordinary refugees!" The driver was not polite, took the tea and blew it, drank half of it in one gulp, and looked at Hong Tao again with more guarded eyes  .

    "What's the difference between ordinary and extraordinary? You have to be busy all day long. If you don't speak secretly in front of people, if it weren't for your suggestion that day, our brother might have died."  , at least not as comfortable as it is now."

    "As the saying goes, if you receive a drop of water, you should repay it with a spring. Your water is given, but I really don't have a spring here, only some vulgar things. Don't be polite, and don't shirk."

    "Receive it. Even if we know each other in the future, let's see if it's a friend. If you don't accept it, you will look down on us from your heart. It doesn't matter, open itThe gate, you walk your Yangguan Road, you don't owe anything!  "Hong Tao pulled a bench and sat beside him, without even passing a cigarette, he directly talked about today's topic.

    While talking, he took out two things from his bosom, held them in the palm of his hand, and handed them to the old man.  On one side are a few red bills, on the other side is a black and blue pistol, brand new!

    "" The old man didn't move, still holding the teacup in one hand, he turned to look at Lu Wei'an.

    "He is now one of our people. Rest assured, there will be no future troubles." Hong Tao bared his teeth and smiled, then sent his hand forward again.

    "I shouldn't have talked too much back then. Did this save someone or hurt someone? I did a crime" The old man shook his head lightly, put down his teacup, pushed away the two things in front of him with one hand, and leaned his body completely against the  recliner.

    "Since you have heard about it, you should accept it. I still have something to ask for your help, and now only you can really help. If this matter is done well, many people will die here, and it will be a great virtue."  It's gone." Hong Tao didn't take back the money and the gun, but directly slapped them in the old man's hand, and then grabbed the old man's hand so that he couldn't let go.

    "Wow It's a good gun, with great firepower! But no matter how many bullets there are, can it still have more bullets than the machine guns on the sentry tower? Listen to my advice, just accept it when it's good. I'm just a driver and I don't have much skill, but  Never harming anyone, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this favor."

    The old man stretched out his other hand to break off Hong Tao's fingers, picked up the pistol and pulled out the magazine to look at it, loaded it with a bang, pointed at Hong Tao in his arms, and didn't even look at Hu Yang behind him and Lu Wei'an on the other side  Look, the hand is very steady.

    "Let's not classify the good guys and the bad guys. In this year, we can't tell the good from the bad. If we don't act hard, I'm afraid we're all lying under the soil and growing maggots. Don't say anything else, as long as those people see  These things won't keep us alive."

    "Don't be too wary. The help I said is not to let you take risks, but just to ask about the transportation team. Several big guys here sat with us for a chat a few days ago, and they agreed  I thought I could do transportation business, and promised to help find acquaintances to rent a license.¡±

    "We haven't been here for a long time, and we don't know much about many things here. We don't know the inside story of this industry, and we dare not invest money easily. That's why I thought of you."

    "Don't worry, I assure you that no matter whether this business can be done or not, I will not blame others. How about it, brother, help our brothers once more, just a few words."

    Looking at the old man's hands, Hong Tao knew that he had received military training and was a very strong person in his heart, perhaps because he had seen too much life and death.  For this kind of people, forcing them to death has limited effect, so I reached out my hand to signal Hu Yang not to draw the gun.

    But this kind of people tend to care more about the life and death of others, and it doesn't mean that they have reached the level of self-sacrifice, the main reason is that they are not willing to let innocent people be unlucky because of themselves.  Of course, the premise is not to make yourself too uncomfortable.

    "I'll take the gun, please take the money back. Your name is Zhou Dafuis this a fake name? Hey, I won't mention the name, it seems that you have offended many people here. Being a transport teamOK  Well, I¡¯ll just tell you what I know, don¡¯t take it all seriously, there are some things that I didn¡¯t see with my own eyes, just use it as a reference.¡±

    A few seconds later, the old man unloaded the pistol, closed the safety and put it in his pocket.  He didn't see the palpitating calmness from his eyes, but felt it from his hands.  It is very difficult for a person to face a loaded pistol at close range without changing his face, believing in him, or keeping his heart beating.

    But the guy wearing sunglasses in front of him, his eyes were flustered and he couldn't see clearly, his hand was really steady, and he didn't move at all when he pressed it on his hand.  Since it's not about letting yourself help others, it's just asking about something, and it's not breaking the law, so why do you have to work so hard for it?
