After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

164 How Bad Guys Are Made

When they heard that Xiao Wei and his friends were coming, the village cadres barely managed to get three to five kilograms of flour and one kilogram of oil.

The village chief sighed, "We can't eat meat more than twice a month now, and each person only gets one or two ounces each time. The rest we get is snails and clams from the river, and occasionally we catch a few wild rabbits, pheasants, or birds to make soup."

Xiao Wei said calmly, "Our life is good enough. Do you know how severely the European and American landlords exploited the workers and serfs?"

The village chief immediately stood up and said, "Of course I know. The people in those places are living in dire straits. It's simply worse than death."

Seeing the village chief's confident look, Xiao Wei blurted out, "Well said. They are living a life worse than death. Each serf can only eat 150 to 160 kilograms of meat a year, and the workers can only eat more than 200 kilograms."

The village chief didn't understand at first, but when he realized it, Xiao Wei had already turned around and fiddled with the flour, preparing to make sesame cakes.

"How much meat do you think a nigger eats in a year?"

Xiao Wei remained calm and replied calmly: "I didn't say anything. Did you hear wrongly?"

The village chief looked at Xiao Wei carefully and asked, "Do you think something went wrong?"

Without even looking up, Xiao Wei asked, "This year is an unprecedentedly productive year. How do you think life compares to the year before?"

The village chief smiled bitterly: "Forget it. Let's not talk about it."

Biyu took four fried cakes and a bowl of fish soup back home. The remaining three girls and the village chief and his son were all very depressed while eating. There was no laughter and joy as before. After the meal, the five of them said less than ten words in total before leaving.

If there are many rooms, then each of you can have one and sulk by yourself.

After washing up, Xiao Wei practiced drawing a gun and shooting alone in the room, and thought he was already very skilled. He came here mainly to practice live ammunition shooting.

I wanted to come here alone, but coming here alone during the holidays would undoubtedly arouse suspicion.

With Biyu's family here, it would be easy to be discovered when they were practicing shooting.

Xiao Wei's approach is to come together and then secretly practice shooting alone.

If I find out, I can also say openly: I came here with you guys and I didn’t intend to hide it.

The old man seemed to have not slept all night. When Xiao Wei got up, he was already leaning on the recliner at the gate of the courtyard drinking tea: "Xiao Ji, so early."

"Yeah. I'm in a bad mood and can't sleep, so I went out for a walk."

The old man glanced at the small cloth bag in Xiaowei's hand and didn't ask any further questions.

The shooting range was about 200 to 300 meters away from home, next to a small forest. Xiao Wei walked as far away from home as possible before attempting to fire the first shot.

In the morning light, the sound was still very loud, more like a miss on the crosshairs.

Just as he was clenching his hands and preparing to fire the second shot, he heard footsteps running over, followed by someone loudly asking, "Did you hit it?"

Xiao Wei quickly turned off the safety and put away the gun. The man came up to her with a musket on his back and saw that it was Xiao Wei. He was also stunned: "You - what are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"I'm exercising." He said as he twisted his waist while holding the small cloth bag.

The hunter asked again: "Did you see a gray rabbit escape from here?"

"No. Nothing."

"Did you hear any shots fired?"

Xiao Wei deliberately looked in the opposite direction of where the hunter came from: "I heard it. It seems to be in the northeast."

The hunter scratched his head and said, "I heard someone shooting just now. I think it was from Beicun. Go home, little girl. Don't hang around outside. It's not safe."

Even if the hunter didn't say it, Xiao Wei was aware of the danger. He had heard of people being accidentally shot more than once or twice.

It seems that it is not easy to practice shooting here.

After returning to the city, I felt even more powerless about this environment. Everything I did was like walking on thin ice and nothing I did was safe.

It's like being a puppet, with life and death in the hands of others. There is no other way to go except to accept it numbly.

The problem is that, looking around, everyone has become a puppet, helplessly waiting for the judgment of fate.

There were only thirteen jars of meat left under the bed. Even if they were only used to support Mao Tongxian's five or six close friends, one jar would not last more than a few days.

It was originally intended to save people, but in the end, no one was saved and the nutrition was improved instead.

This doesn't seem right at all.

Is this how bad people are made?

The peanuts that were brought back have been consumed, but the neighbor’s children are still standing at the door, staring eagerly.

Luzhu had no choice but to close the gate of the courtyard, and bricks and tiles began to fly towards the door and into the courtyard.

Luzhu was so angry that she started cursing and went through the people's ancestors one by one.

As a result, every time before opening the door, I would plead loudly: "My little ancestors, please stop throwing stones, I am coming out."

Luzhu's scolding soon took effect. One time, Biyu was probably thinking about something and went out without making a sound. She was hit in the chest by a broken brick and was so angry that she chased after him for a long time.

Xiao Wei was so happy that he stood at the door and laughed for a long time while eating melon seeds.

Luzhu and Guixiu turned into shrews again, standing outside the courtyard gate and greeting the family's thirty-six generations of ancestors.

The neighbors came out one after another, joining in the scolding of the child for being ignorant, with noticeable smiles on their faces, and told the girls not to bother with the child.

"Children eat shit, they don't know what's ugly. Girls, calm down."

"How much strength can a little brat have? He won't get hurt. Your scolding is too vicious."

"There's no grudge. I guess it's just a joke."

"The child must be very hungry, so it's normal for him to act up."

"Girls have a good life, so if you save a little, just treat it as feeding the dog."

Well, it's great that all the neighbors are reasonable.

The effect of the verbal abuse was quite good, and the noise stopped for three or four days.

That evening, Xiao Wei was practicing the erhu on the swing when suddenly two or three pieces of mud flew in from outside the yard. They were aimed quite well, one hitting her arm and the other breaking her head.

I ran out to look, but there was no one there.

There was nothing I could do but go door to door asking with mud all over my face. Needless to say, everyone insisted that it was not their child who did it.

"After the last incident, all the bricks and tiles in this area have been picked up, so the mud will not hurt even more."

"Let's talk to the children again and tell them not to mess around anymore."

"Go home and take a shower. It's hot."

Xiao Wei nodded: "Okay. Thank you for your hard work."

Biyu really cried this time: "I was wrong, so wrong. I should have listened to you earlier."

Lu Zhu smiled bitterly: "I really shouldn't have helped them. Just like Xiao Wei said, there are ungrateful people everywhere, and there is no Shan Xiongxin in the world."

Gui Xiu sighed: "Now I finally understand why Xiao Wei doesn't allow charity, alas."

Xiao Wei shook her head and denied, "It's not that I won't let you. It's that I can't give it to you every day. A grain of rice brings gratitude, but a bucket of rice brings hatred. It's human nature and common sense."

The next day, someone brought the child to the house to question the girl, saying that the girl had instigated other children to beat people.

Xiao Wei snorted coldly: "Who did we instigate?"

"The kid who hit someone said you would give him peanuts."

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "So, the bricks and mud were thrown by your child?"

"Our kids wouldn't do that."

Xiao Wei spread his hands and said, "That has nothing to do with me. I only want to punish those who caused trouble for us and make them compensate for the losses."

Lu Zhu said seriously: "Your child is so good, he wouldn't do anything harmful like throwing bricks, right?"

Guixiu said: "It's common for children to fight with each other, why are you looking for us?"

Within a day or two, the surrounding children started fighting each other, and many were injured.
