Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

After leaving the courtyard, Lu Zhenyuan did not go directly to Maoer Hutong, but went to the new warehouse first.

The new warehouse is also in Dongcheng District, but it is even more remote than the original one. When the disaster came, Sijiu City received a lot of refugees, who were all arranged together to live in shanty towns.

The new warehouse was right next to the shantytown, and the reason why he was so reckless and not afraid of being targeted was naturally because many of these refugees were indirectly taken in by him.

There are many people who are homeless, in trouble, and starving to death, who sell themselves in order to make a living. These days, there are people in the city who can't make a living, even if they are just individual cases.

But this is the Forbidden City, now called the capital, but in the past it was called the imperial city.

If this is the case here, you can imagine how bad it is elsewhere.

Among these refugees, only a small number came to Sijiucheng to beg for food because they could not make a living in the surrounding countryside or were restless. After all, even in the countryside, the conditions in the countryside around Sijiucheng were better than those in other rural areas.

Most of the refugees fled from farther away and felt that their chances of surviving in the city were greater.

But here, they still have to find a way to support themselves. Formal jobs are not easy to find, so they basically support themselves by doing odd jobs. The street can only provide these people with a temporary place to live, which can be considered as rental.

He went to the new warehouse to store a batch of grain, and also had something he wanted to ask Ma Zi.

As we walked along, after passing an intersection, it seemed like we had come to another world. There were makeshift shacks everywhere, some of which were just a few broken wooden boards covered with straw. They couldn't even protect us from the wind, let alone how to hide from it if it rained.

Seeing Lu Zhenyuan coming in on a bicycle, all eyes in the dark focused on him. Some skinny people even came out of their shacks and stared at Lu Zhenyuan...and the bicycle he was riding with a hint of bloodthirstiness.

But soon, the arrival of a group of people calmed down these malicious eyes.

Lu Zhenyuan has already gotten used to it. It seems that this batch is probably new arrivals.

There were also some people in the early group who had ill intentions towards him, but since a few troublemakers disappeared forever, they all became well-behaved.

They are refugees, but refugees are also dangerous!

After all, if people are starving, they can do anything. Most people may become dull and indifferent to the outside world, but it only takes an opportunity and one person to take the lead.

One madman will turn into a group of madmen!

How did the peasant uprisings in ancient times come about? It was because among a group of people who were about to starve to death, someone appeared and raised his arms and shouted loudly, and then a group of people who were about to starve to death gathered together and started something big.

As we got closer to the warehouse, we could clearly see that the refugees here looked better than those we met when we came in.

These were brought back by Mazi and others.

I didn't dare let them eat enough, mainly because I was afraid that they would cause trouble after eating. After a period of time, if there were no accidents, Ma Zi would train them, and after a period of time, keep some of them to work, and send some to Hong Kong Island.

Once they get there, we will temporarily solve their identity problems and let them settle down. If they still have no other intentions after a period of time, we will truly make them our own.

Ma Ziguan calls this process the four times of leaving.

This means that when these people were brought to the city, they had one chance to leave. During this period when they were not hungry but not starving, they had a second chance to leave. After training, they had enough to eat, and they had a third chance to leave...

After arriving in Hong Kong Island, I solved my identity problems and had food and clothing, and had my last chance to leave.

If I don't seize these four opportunities, it will be impossible to leave in the future. After all, if I leave at any of these four opportunities, the resources consumed will be wasted. But I have to accept it.

But if you don’t leave after the fourth time, and then change your mind in the future, that will be no good.

It's just like raising a child. The refugees are starving to death and have nowhere to go. It's just like a toddler needing milk. There was no choice at the time.

When you grow up a little, even if you are a little kid and your father is broke, and you are not full but you don’t go out to beg for food and still choose to eat your father’s food, then don’t complain.

After that, you become an adult and your parents will find you a job so that you can have enough food to eat.

In the fourth stage, your parents have taken great pains to send you to a big city and have also found you a job so that you can live a stable life in the big city.

Finally, your parents suddenly want to send you to join the army, but you refuse!

What will be the result?

It is said that the grace of giving birth is not as great as the grace of raising a child. I am not your biological father. Besides, even your biological father may have his legs broken, let alone your stepfather.

The process sounds simple, but each test is actually not complicated. To put it bluntly, as long as you can stick to your original intention, or have a conscience and know how to be grateful, nothing will happen.

After all, since they gave themselves up for the sake of having a stutter, they should have had the corresponding awareness.

What's more, they were given four chances to regret, which is quite humane.

Lu Zhenyuan handed the bicycle to an attendant and entered the warehouse. There were also some refugees in the warehouse, but they were all women and children. He took care of them and placed them in the warehouse. The rooms were separated by wooden boards to ensure enough privacy.

Lu Zhenyuan went straight to the back warehouse, which was guarded by his own people. There was an alley leading out of the back warehouse. He put the grain in the back warehouse, and at night Mazi and others would transport the grain away and hand it over to Haoge and others.

As for the relief food, he delivered it directly to outside the city. After all, the quantity was relatively large, and there would be a risk of exposure if it was kept in the city.

"Brother, you're here, thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Mazi was smoking at the back door. When he heard the noise, he turned around and immediately smiled.

I work for myself, and I have to say thank you to myself.

Lu Zhenyuan felt that he was becoming more and more like those bosses in later generations, tub.

"Okay, stop it. I heard that you had some problems here." Lu Zhenyuan went straight to the point. He had to go to Maoer Hutong later.

Zhang Mazi smiled awkwardly with his eyes a little red. This look was extremely rare and Lu Zhenyuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Well, several of my brothers weren't paying attention and got beaten up. By the time we found them, they were already buried." Zhang Mazi said with a guilty tone.

Lu Zhenyuan frowned.

"When Zhang Mazi said he was beaten up, he meant he was intercepted. And not only was he intercepted, he lost his life."

"several?"

"Eleven brothers, two of them are my own brothers, and the other nine are newly recruited."

"Are you sure they are all dead?"

"Well, it's confirmed. I wasn't betrayed."

There was a flickering cold light in Lu Zhenyuan's eyes. His two brothers were followers summoned by him. They were absolutely loyal to him. The number of followers under his command had long exceeded four digits.

It's not that he feels heartbroken, after all, he himself doesn't remember most of his followers.

But they were taken away by a group of people who intercepted them. It was really not worth it!

In the past, we encountered many people who were intercepted on the road. After all, let alone the famine now, even a few years ago when there was no famine, the purchasing agents and projectionists who went to the countryside from the city were all equipped with guns.

What’s more, the current situation was like this. In the past, at most some people would get injured, but this time, everyone was wiped out.

No need to ask who did it.

"Handle it well, and use more drastic measures. If you can't suppress it, more people will plot against it," said Lu Zhenyuan.

Zhang Mazi nodded, already thinking about bringing a few cannons.

This matter must either be done secretly, or once discovered, they will have to use heavy firepower, otherwise they will be the ones who get killed.

The eleven brothers who were killed were all shot to death, and there were even traces of explosives. They were definitely ruthless people.

After putting the food down, Lu Zhenyuan planned to leave.

When he returned to the warehouse, he caught a glimpse of a little figure fetching water. He was stunned and asked Zhang Mazi, who was following him, "What's the name of the girl fetching water?"

Zhang Mazi looked over, thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember anything, so he shouted directly: "What's your name, girl who fetched water?"

Lu Zhenyuan rolled his eyes and said, “Why don’t you just ask them directly?”
