Doomsday Wonderland

Lin Sanjiu really didn't know how he survived for two more days. Since the start of the "Recuperate Farmland" project for three days, every day has been exactly the same: she opened her eyes at 4:50 in the morning, and lay there for a while in weakness, hunger, and dizziness before she could gather enough strength to get up and eat. Next food ball.

At five o'clock, the four farmers had already started plowing the fields. They worked all the way until ten o'clock in the morning before they could add a food ball, take a nap, and let Lu Hua use this time to repair the farm tools. In this way, they divided the day's work into three sections, working continuously for five hours before taking an hour's rest. Lin Sanjiu always felt that the short rest not only failed to restore her energy, but made the following work seem longer and more difficult. ——Not to mention that she would work an extra hour at night in order to allow Libao to rest a little longer.

After finishing a day's work at nine o'clock in the evening, she was often so tired that her brain was confused. Once, she even thought Han Suiping was still alive - until she saw the body covered with a blanket in the corner, she suddenly woke up. Come over.

Compared with farmers, the lives of workers and tax collectors are much better. Workers still have several hours of working time every day, but the tax collector only needs to make one trip a day, and the round trip takes less than an hour. Except for Host's occasional murmur, "If I had known I would have chosen the tax collector," almost only Lu Hua and Jiansheng's vague whispers were left in the room - after all, for farmers, Speaking of which, even the effort to open your mouth to speak is a burden.

The biggest comfort is the increasing number of food balls around Sibaan. They were all wrapped in paper bags and stacked neatly on the ground; whenever Lin Sanjiu felt that she was about to lose her strength, she would glance at them - the more food balls she had, the closer she would be to the gift package plan. The end is closer. No matter what the real purpose of the gift package is, at least by then, the hard days will be over.

On the morning of the fifth day after entering the "Recuperation Farmland" plan, Lu Hua suddenly raised his voice and shouted to Siba'an in the distance of the room.

"You only eat three balls a day, surely it's not enough, right?" She sat side by side with Jian Sheng by the farmland, far away from Han Suiping. "We only eat four pills a day, but we can't stand it... You have the heaviest responsibility, should you take more pills?"

Why does he have the heaviest responsibility? This thought flashed through Lin Sanjiu's mind - but she was too tired, and the farm work in front of her occupied most of her mind, so she didn't think much about it at all. The heaviest is the heaviest.

Ji Shanqing, who was not far away, stopped her hand, and then she also turned around.

Sibaan was leaning against the wall, as if he hadn't moved for a long time. Even if she couldn't see his face clearly, Lin Sanjiu could feel that he had lost a lot of energy and strength. It seemed like this was the first time she had seen Sibaan look so pale and fragile since the two met.

Hearing Lu Hua's question, he paused for several seconds before finally opening his mouth.

"No... no need." His voice, which was originally filled with smoke, now became deeper and hoarse, as if it would disintegrate into light sand and be swept away by the wind when touched.

"But with only three, it's difficult to even talk, right?" Jian Sheng asked.

Sibaan seemed to want to shake his head, but in the end he remained motionless. "I have no problem...don't think about me." He obviously had difficulty speaking, but at least he could still open his mouth. He lowered his eyes and said, "We'll last another two or three days, that's about it."

The two nodded and glanced at each other.

"Then... if it's no problem," Lu Hua seemed to find it difficult to open her mouth for what she was going to say next. She held on to the corner of her clothes and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Would you mind responding to the words on the wall?"

What words?

Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that she had been plowing the fields with her head down for a long time, and had not looked up for an unknown amount of time. It seemed that she was not the only one. When she looked up at the gift bag, she took a deep breath. It was obviously the first time she saw the writing on the wall.

In the anonymous worry area that had been silent for several days, a new worry appeared at some point.

"How is it possible to live on only three food balls? He is not a vegetative state. He just lies there motionless... He still needs to work and talk. He can't do it without the fourth food ball, right? ?”

Sibaan's movements of turning around and raising his head seemed heavy and weak. He stared at the wall quietly for a while. All the people could see was his blond hair. He was worried for a while and no one spoke.

"What... does this mean?" He finally spoke and laughed softly. "Does anyone suspect that I secretly ate the fourth ball?"

Lin Sanjiu immediately thought of Lu Hua who asked the question, but when she thought about it again, except for her and Ji Shanqing, the other two farmers seemed not to be very surprised when they saw this concern - Could it be that they had already Just saw it? Or is this their intention?

"Under pressure and fatigue," Jian Sheng said as if to smooth things over, "it's inevitable that someone will think too much. You might as well explain it to make that person feel at ease."

"How to explain?" Lin Sanjiu has always had a peaceful personality, but in the past few days, she felt as if there was always a violent aura stabbing her like an awl. She immediately asked: "His physical strength is better than others, how can this be done?" explain?"

Jian Sheng glanced at her and seemed a little irritated by her tone: "Why don't you work on farming if you have such energy? Are you still holding back if you don't solve the problem?"

"There's no need to argue." Ji Shanqing's face darkened and he counterattacked unceremoniously for his sister: "Do you think this is a problem? In the past, we knew exactly how many balls we saved every day. You’ll know as soon as you calculate it. If you think Siba’an took the food balls privately, just go over and count them.”

Perhaps even he was worn down by this environment and lost his cool. He also added: "...you are the most leisurely person anyway."

Jian Sheng's face suddenly turned ugly, and his forehead turned red. "I don't distrust Siba'an, but some of us do think so. I want to solve the problem. What's the use of showing your loyalty to me? You should find that person and let him count."

"No need,"

Sibaan made a cold sound and told them all to shut up. After everyone calmed down, he slowly stood up leaning on the wall, bent down, and reached out to take a food ball off the pile. "Don't... look for that person. I'll spread out the food balls so you can count them across the room."

...This is really an unnecessary waste of his energy. Lin Sanjiu looked at his slow and hesitant movements and was so anxious that she wished she could find the owner of that thought and yell at him.

Every time Sibaan put down a ball, Lu Hua Bao counted it. After all the food balls were counted, it turned out that the total number of food balls saved in the past few days was sixty-four.

"It's been delayed for a long time," Lin Sanjiu said with a serious face, "Since there is no problem, let's continue working quickly."

"Well, the numbers are correct," Jian Sheng said, nodding.

Ji Shanqing looked back at him but said nothing.

Isn’t it enough that the numbers are correct? There’s nothing else to say. Lin Sanjiu picked up the farm tools again impatiently. Seeing this, Nu Yue and Host also picked up the work they had left behind - the five words "the numbers are correct", even after the sound disappeared, it seemed that Still hovering over the room for a while.

"Sister," Ji Shanqing called her in a low voice, "Can you say something to them? It's best if it can attract their attention..."

Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Why? What's wrong?"

He sighed. "Forget it, it's useless to attract temporary attention. What's supposed to come will come sooner or later..."

"What should come?" She became more and more confused.

"Theoretically speaking, if Siba'an wants to be greedy for food balls, there is another way." Coincidentally, just as Ji Shanqing started talking, someone suddenly shouted, "You guys Look!" - Lin Sanjiu followed everyone's gaze and turned around, finding that the thoughts in the anonymous worry area had changed.

"Although the numbers are correct, if he pinches off a little bit from each pill and eats it, we can't find it just by counting, right?"

After seeing this thought, Sibaan raised his eyes, his eyes dark green and cold. "It's not over?"

Everyone couldn't help but flinch.

"Actually, we all believe in your innocence," Nuyue didn't speak for a long time, and her voice became hoarse. "You don't have to worry about what villain is hiding in his belly and dare not say anything."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one objected for a moment.

Just when the atmosphere was neither awkward nor embarrassing, the text on the wall changed again - this time it was not a message in the anonymous worry area; instead, there was an additional line of text next to the date and time, which read "Attention, if there are any messages in this room, Anyone who shows signs of dereliction of duty or taking advantage of his position for personal gain will be punished by seizing his position."

Lin Sanjiu grabbed the gift bag's hand next to her and stopped the dizziness in her mind.

What does it mean? This was obviously directed at Sibaan. Taking away a farmer's job is not considered a "punishment".

Everyone looked at each other in confusion for a while. I don't know who started it first, and the buzzing whispers started intermittently.

"There are even reminders on the wall of the room..." Lu Hua sighed. "Perhaps you are asking us to find out about this matter?"

"If he is deprived of his position, then who will be the inspector?" Host asked, looking at Jian Sheng. "Should we follow the method of promotion to fill the position...or find someone else?"

Siba sat on the ground and read a book www.uukanshu. net looked at the buzzing people without moving.

"I also think it's impossible to score three goals a day, but after all, Siba'an is different from us." Nuyue said half defensively, "I don't know why there are such words on the wall..."

"Those who are deprived of their positions will become idlers without a career. Their careers cannot be changed; those who are willing to make greater sacrifices and take on more positions can register as candidates, and all people with positions will vote to decide whether to take up the position. ." This line of writing on the wall changed again, as if in response to them.

"Obviously, we have to find out the weight of the food ball now." Jian Sheng lowered his head and coughed: "Actually, I have a way... If the food ball is pinched a little, its weight will be wrong. , you may not be able to see it, but with my tax collector’s tool, you can detect it with just one test.”

He didn't dare to look in Siba'an's direction, so he only glanced at everyone with his eyes.

"How about it," Jian Sheng's voice trembled slightly, "If everyone agrees... I'll go over and take a test?"
