Chapter 164: fell into the pit and died
"There is still some dry food up there, follow me to get some and go back to deal with it."
These people didn't expect Su Ying to agree so simply, and they were very grateful. In this ghost place, anyone who can give them a bite to eat is their benefactor.
There was still a lot of dry food brought out this morning, so Su Ying asked them to take some for two days.
These scholars are also particular about it. Although there is no grain of rice left at home, they did not take too much dry food.
"Thank you Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su's great kindness, I will definitely remember it in my heart."
More than a dozen people bowed and saluted to express their gratitude.
"Don't worry, there will be time for you to repay, but don't be idle after you go back. A few people will take a good look at the statistics of three to six years old and six to nine years old in the West District. Taking three years old as a progressive stage, a total of Sixteen years old, look at the number of children in these age groups, after counting, find someone to send the results to the tiger camp."
Of course they responded to this trivial matter, "Don't worry, Miss Su, I will definitely complete the task seriously."
"good."
At this time, on the burned soil slope, Cheng Ming also led his people to work hard to open up the wasteland. He has observed the condition of the saplings. It is best for all the saplings to be planted in these few days, otherwise the survival rate will be reduced. Lowered, so he got up before dawn today, and immediately asked No. 2 and the others to gather their troops, just to be able to reclaim the **** as soon as possible.
"Everyone work hard, the roots of the trees in the ground must be dug out, otherwise it will affect the growth of the saplings."
Their tools are limited. It can be said that they have collected all the tools in the entire West District, but it is still difficult to dig. Some tree roots are tightly stuck in the ground, and deep pits must be dug to uproot the roots.
"Ge Laozi, is this a human job? We have to dig out as many tree roots as there are on this soil slope, and that will kill us. We ate two whole grain corn buns at noon, and one Work with the strength of a fart."
"That's right, this is obviously for us to be coolies. When the fruit is planted, can we have our share?"
Someone threw a chisel polished by stone into the pit, and then hid in the tree pit to hide. Anyway, no one would notice them when the **** was full.
Cheng Ming gritted his teeth and followed the two to dig out a tree root, then threw the trunk aside.
"You guys continue to clean up the roots below, I'll go drink some water."
Cheng Ming wiped the sweat off his face, went to the side, took a sip from the water bag, and soon saw two people and cats sleeping in the pit.
He plugged the water bag, frowned and walked over, "What are you two doing, get up and work quickly."
The two of them were obviously asleep, Cheng Ming called out several times but did not move.
Cheng Ming had no choice but to jump into the pit and push them, "Get up, I won't take you to be so lazy."
The two of them woke up suddenly, their still-awakened eyes were red and bloodshot, and they glared at Cheng Ming angrily, "You bastard, I didn't see your grandpa sleeping, and dare to touch your grandpa, you're tired of it, aren't you?"
Cheng Ming frowned, "Everyone is working, you guys are going to hide, you can rest for a while when you are tired, but you have been cats in this pit since morning, and you haven't even dug out a tree root. Madam's food is not wasted on you people."
The other party saw that the pit was high enough and no one noticed it. The two exchanged a look, and saw the cold and evil look in each other's eyes.
"What are you, you **** can teach us a lesson, I have long since disliked you, today you must know how amazing you are!"
Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards Cheng Ming.
The earth pit was not that big, and the three of them were already crowded when they were standing. When the other party suddenly rushed over, Cheng Ming had no room to dodge, and he was firmly pressed against the earth pit.
Another person grabbed a handful of mud and stuffed it into his mouth forcefully.
Cheng Ming struggled to get rid of their restraint, but he didn't know kung fu, so he was no match for the two of them at all.
Because the earth pit was relatively high, the people around were busy and didn't notice the abnormality here.
Cheng Ming struggled and kicked his opponent in the stomach. When the opponent retreated in pain, he turned around and wanted to climb up, but the mud was so slippery that he couldn't climb up at all. He spat out the mud and tried to call for help, but the other party didn't even give him a chance to speak, and grabbed the yellow mud and stuffed it towards his mouth and nose...
Xiao Jin went to the **** with a shovel. His main job these days is to be in charge of patrolling in order to avoid troubles caused by uncooperative people.
He came over from the field just now, and was about to take a look at the slope.
"Where's Cheng Ming?" Cheng Ming, as the main person in charge of this area, naturally looked for him the first time he came here.
Patrol No. 2 looked around. Just now he saw Cheng Ming digging roots with someone, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Maybe I'm tired and looking for a place to rest."
Xiao Jin didn't think much about it, this job is not easy, and it's normal to be tired.
"kindness."
Xiao Jin walked by a pit and saw two people filling the pit with soil. Generally, after the tree roots are dug out, the soil dug out before needs to be filled in.
The two saw Xiao Jin walking by, and were about to let out a breath when they saw Xiao Jin stop from the corner of their eyes.
The hearts of the two of them rose instantly, and the action of shoveling soil became faster.
Fortunately, Xiao Jin's footsteps just paused, and he left soon.
Just as the two exhaled, a tall figure appeared behind them, "What are you doing?"
"ah!"
The two screamed in fright.
Throwing the chisel in their hands, they raised their legs and wanted to run away, but Xiao Jin grabbed the back of the neck with each hand and pulled them back.
"Say, what the **** did you do!"
The two struggled to break away from Xiao Jin's hand, but that hand was like an unshakable iron tongs. They only felt that the Qi veins on their necks were severely pinched, their temples throbbed, and their vision became more and more blurred. It gets darker.
"I said, I said..."
Xiao Jin let go of his hands with dark eyes, and the two gasped, "Well, that one named Cheng Ming fell into the pit and died. I, we, buried him, buried him."
Xiao Jin shrank his pupils, kicked the two people's hearts, and immediately called someone to come over, and carefully dug up the soil in the pit.
Soon, they found Cheng Ming who had been buried in the earth pit and was completely motionless.
Xiao Jin lifted Cheng Ming up to check his pulse, but he could hardly feel his breath anymore.
He helped the man up, and watched the yellow mud stuffed in his mouth and nose slapped his chest with the inner sheet.
