Everyone avoided her gaze, only Lao Li looked at the mother and son with sympathy, so he asked, "If they just have a common cold, can they still come in?"
"Still queue up, and then all the other players come in."
The steward said coldly.
Those small, narrow eyes narrowed, and the look seemed to be saying, "Leave quickly."
"Aunt, you heard it, just go and queue up again."
Lao Li looked at the woman and said, "We all know that you two are not sick. Just go get another checkup. Don't touch the corpses outside. It will be quick. We'll be waiting for you inside."
"Just get out of here right away, there are still tests to be done later."
The manager spoke in a particularly fierce tone, scolding Lao Li a few times, but Lao Li quickly smiled at him and said, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry to bother you."
Not only did he smile apologetically, he also quickly took out a bag of gold from his pocket and said, "I have nothing left except this little bit of gold. Please keep it. If they come back again, please take care of them."
The fearful tone and heavy weight of the words made the steward's eyes widen a little. He weighed the gold sand in his hand and said, "Well, go in."
"Thanks!"
Old Li was very happy, feeling that he had secured a future for the two tribesmen who had left. Then he sat at the end of the team and walked towards the paradise in his memory.
"Stop. If you want to go in, each person needs a pound of meat or a pound of water."
I originally thought that I could just escape here, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to get in.
"Butler, our food and water were all used up on the road. Do you think this gold sand will do?"
Old Li took out all his belongings, and was not stingy with other people's belongings either, thinking that it didn't matter if they used them up now, as they could just find some work to survive once they got into Pang Tong.
"No, the higher-ups require food or water."
The manager refused to discuss matters with him and money couldn't buy him off.
Either give something or leave.
The final push just couldn't get in, and at this time Pang Tong almost became an obsession for the Li Gaga clan.
As he kept urging, Lao Li's face became paler and paler. Finally, he asked again, "Manager, can you eat any kind of meat?"
"Of course not!"
The steward immediately rejected the idea, "It has to be fresh, edible meat. If you don't have it, leave now and don't block the road behind you."
"We have, trouble and all."
Lao Li said this humbly but sincerely, and then took his people away for a while. Not long after, they came back with pieces of very fresh raw meat!
The steward picked up each one and smelled and licked it. There was no rotten smell at all, just a little fishy. Each piece weighed more than a pound, no more, no less.
"How did you get this meat?"
The steward looked at the meat and became suspicious, wondering if they had stolen it from somewhere.
"Butler, we killed the last camel."
Old Li replied with a pale face, "Excuse me, can we leave now?"
"Approved, go in."
The steward waved his hand, signaling them to go in. The people of the Li Gaga tribe looked at the scene in front of them, and immediately showed joy and surprise.
They trotted forward quickly, smiling their first genuine smiles in a long time.
At the back, the steward who was cleaning the meat looked at the group of people with disdain and ridicule in his eyes—
court death.
If the weather is too hot, the meat will immediately go bad if left for a long time. In order to prevent this, you need to prepare salt for the perishable food.
This is a lucrative job.
A large amount of supplies were harvested in one day, and they would not clear them out at all. Even if they embezzled the supplies, nothing would be discovered.
The steward did the same as usual. He picked a few pieces of fat and big meat and put them in his pocket, and sprinkled them with salt. While salting, he thought of that tribe again -
Those people are not only a bunch of fools who are willing to die, but also a bunch of cripples.
##
The other side
On the long road.
Old Li, who had always strictly restricted the movements of his tribesmen, finally stopped restricting their activities.
The children ran around, touching the branches and leaves of the big trees and stuffing the bark and yellow leaves into their mouths.
The adults' previous fatigue was swept away, and there was finally some light in their eyes. They asked in disbelief, "Old Li, can we really live here?"
"certainly."
Old Li nodded when he heard this, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. "We just got permission from the steward."
"Then our cut was not in vain!"
The tribesmen nearby looked at the surrounding trees and lawns without blinking, "This is the first time I've seen so many plants."
“It’s all getting ugly now.”
Old Li introduced the scenery to his tribesmen who had been tied up in their hometown and had never seen the world. "In the past, the grass and leaves of the trees were all green. In spring, flowers bloomed in the grass. There were two small irrigation ditches on both sides of the road. The scenery was so beautiful that it was a pleasure to walk in."
But now it’s a dry time, and it’s all dry.”
As Lao Li spoke, he walked towards the small ditches on both sides and looked at the dry moss and weeds inside, as well as... some bloodstains?!
The old man looked at the ditch and saw something like a sausage hidden under the dry and yellow leaves - it was a piece of finger.
As soon as Lao Li took out his finger, he suddenly felt that the ditch smelled a bit. He took a wooden stick and poked around inside the ditch, and found a lot of broken bodies and white meat. The bodies were broken into pieces and piled up in two ditches.
Old Li was shocked!
This is not a river of life used for irrigation, it is clearly a mass grave used by Pang Tong’s people to destroy corpses!
Whose body is this
Old Li suddenly thought of this important question.
At this time, the half-grown Li Gaga boy suddenly saw some sharp objects popping out of the woods. He walked deeper inside. What were those things
Shua—
An earth arrow shot out of the air, instantly piercing the chest of the young man. His eyes suddenly widened, and he fell back unwillingly. Until his death, he never figured it out. Isn't this the safest place Uncle Li said
"Xiao Li!"
"Li Goudan!"
…
People shouted and ran towards the boy.
The next second, countless arrows shot towards them. Lao Li was hit by one of the long arrows. The other tribesmen were attacked without any preparation and were either killed or injured. There was almost no one who was unscathed.
The people of the Li Gaga tribe fell to the ground in an instant, and screams and cries for help rang in their ears.
Terror, anger, and sadness instantly filled Lao Li's heart. He angrily yelled at the team that came out of the bushes, "What are you doing? We all paid the entrance fee!"
They got in by cutting off their flesh!
The last chapter is a combination of two chapters, so it is the fourth chapter in total.
Good night everyone~
