Rescue System: Fleeing Host, calm down

Chapter 367 The bragging girl

Zhao Laosan was very embarrassed. He hesitated several times and wanted to refuse, but just now the couple had promised their benefactor.

But the benefactor said that he wanted him to lead all the villagers to continue mining. Not to mention whether he had the ability to convince the villagers, he handed the excavated copper mine directly to the benefactor instead of to the court. I am afraid that no villagers would be willing to do this.

Who dares to attempt the grave crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan?

Even if the benefactor can provide them with enough food to survive the cold season, what will happen after that?

These copper embryos had to be transported to the mint of the Ministry of Industry for processing and casting. They were smelted through complex processes and finally cast into copper coins. They were related to the economic lifeline of the imperial court. If they were investigated, the entire village might be killed.

"Why, you regretted it so quickly?" Cheng Xiaoxiao joked.

"No, no, my benefactor, illegal mining of copper is a serious crime of decapitation. If the adults above investigate, investigate." Zhao Laosan's heart was pounding, and he stammered again.

Cheng Xiaoxiao snorted, "You still expect the imperial court to save you. The whole of Aiqi will not be spared from this natural disaster. Do you know how many people die every day? This disaster will last for at least three months. Do you think you can survive?

At that time.”

"The whole Qi Qi, three, three months." Zhao Laosan and his wife were shocked by the shocking news thrown out by Cheng Xiaoxiao, and their faces became even paler.

They only had a few days of food left, not to mention three months, not even ten days and a half.

The expressions on the two people's faces were indescribable, Cheng Xiaoxiao ignored them, and the words he spoke one after another were even more horrifying.

"Now that you have run out of food and cannot go out for three whole months, what will happen next? Hunger will make people lose their minds, and they will attack and eat each other like wild beasts. I am afraid that only a dozen of thousands of people will survive in the end.

In the bloody fight of time, cannibalizing the same kind, wouldn’t the hearts of these dozen people be distorted and collapsed, and in the end they would become murderous demons without blinking an eye.”

Every time Cheng Xiaoxiao said a word, he got closer and his voice became colder. The two of them were so frightened that they sat on the ground together, their lips and teeth trembling, speechless.

In his confused eyes, the bloody scenes kept flashing and circling.

Looking at the two people who were frightened, Cheng Xiaoxiao softened his tone and said: "In three months, less than 50% of the people will survive. By then, the order of the court has already collapsed, and the outside world has become a world of cultivators. Who will survive?"

It’s a big deal like mining.”

It took a while for the two of them to digest everything Cheng Xiaoxiao said, but they still didn't want to believe it.

"These are all the benefactor's guesses, and they may or may not be so tragic."

The young woman trembled her lips and did not dare to look at each other.

"Actually, you already believe 80% of it in your heart, so why should you deceive yourself and others? The days to come will only be more difficult. The fittest will survive. If you can't adapt to the new order, you might as well end it yourself as soon as possible."

Zhao Laosan also knew that most of what his benefactor said was the truth. If he wanted to protect his wife and daughter, he must change and become tougher.

Regardless of whether the court pursues the case in the future, at least the current situation is over. If the future is as the benefactor said, then with such a powerful backer as the benefactor, they can still hope to live a stable life.

If not, he can take the opportunity to send his wife and daughter away and bear the responsibility himself.

After making up his mind, Zhao Laosan got up again and knelt down, "I, Zhao Shimo, am willing to listen to my benefactor's orders for the rest of my life. I will never say anything no matter what. If I violate it, I will die a good death."

Cheng Xiaoxiao held his forehead and sighed. Although she was a little harsh, she was not unkind. There was really no need to swear or anything.

"Okay, you should get up first. By the way, I am the envoy of Phoenix City. Phoenix City is built in Daxing Mountain. There is no imperial class, no oppression and exploitation. It is a paradise that all ordinary people yearn for. If you complete the task, you can get Phoenix

You are qualified to stay in the city, so behave well.”

"Really?"

If they had doubts before, now they were finally at ease.

Although the benefactor has extraordinary magnanimity, how can one person bear the daily necessities of thousands of people? Therefore, it is most credible to have the support of a huge force behind him.

Later, Cheng Xiaoxiao and Zhao Laosan discussed the regulations of mining here, rewards and punishments, distribution of food and other specific matters.

A quarter of an hour later, she and Zhao Laosan went to the camp in the mine.

Before anyone arrived, an obvious noise was heard. In the vast mine, there were dense crowds of people sitting or standing watching the excitement. In a short time, two families started to make trouble.

The smell here was so unpleasant that it almost made Cheng Xiaoxiao vomit.

People in the mine stay together day and night, wondering what night it is? They spend their days in panic, eating, drinking, and having sex together, and all kinds of smells are mixed in. It's almost difficult to breathe for even one second longer.

At this time, Cheng Xiaoxiao put away the Luminous Pearl, put on his mask, and took a flashlight to shine on the crowd. The crowd fell silent for a moment.

"Mom, is that an immortal?" A young girl asked delicately.

In a word, success made everyone put down what they were doing.

The old man in a coarse cotton coat looked over in the light and asked, "Who is coming?"

"Benefactor, this is the head of our village. He is responsible for this area." Zhao Laosan reminded Cheng Xiaoxiao in a low voice.

Looking at the old man with a ravaged face, Cheng Xiaoxiao showed a kind smile and said, "Hello, old man, I am a kind person who is here to show you a way out."

Some strong men, holding hoes and shovels, stood guard.

If they hadn't seen that the other party was a weak woman, they would have tied the other party up first.

These days, food is their lifeblood and the hope of their family. If someone comes to snatch the little food they have left, they, the whole village, will have no choice but to wait for death.

"What way to survive?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao winked at Zhao Laosan.

So he shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen to me, we have a way to survive. This is the envoy from Phoenix City."

It took Zhao Laosan a quarter of an hour to explain what Cheng Xiaoxiao had explained, and the folks in the mine immediately went crazy.

"Really? Will you really give us food?"

"You are a little girl, why should we trust you?"

"Yes, yes, if you have any food, take it out and take a look. We will believe you when we see it."

"May I ask the envoy, how much food can we receive every day? How much minerals do we have to pay?" Someone with a clear mind quickly came up with the key question.

"Lao Niu is right. The weather is too cold now. If you want to pick up the manpower again, you may not be able to produce much," someone worried.

There were also scholars among them, who had a lot of knowledge. They looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao warily and asked lightly: "According to my understanding, Daxing Mountain is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is in the deep mountains. There are no cities around it, let alone one called Phoenix City.

Town. This girl is not kidding."

Scholars speak euphemistically, but anyone with a discerning eye can understand the meaning: the little girl is talking nonsense and bragging to the sky.
