Chapter 105 Are They Liars?
Everyone was talking at the same time, and Chen Hao didn't know how to start.
Chen Hao's parents stepped forward and asked everyone to be quiet.
The dozen or so young people who had just gone out to greet Chen Hao also started talking.
"It's like this. There is a young couple who want to find someone to work for them. They will be paid one pound of rice and a bottle of water for five hours of work."
After no one spoke, Chen Hao began to explain.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless people started talking again.
"Is it true?"
"Where does this good thing come from?"
"Does Xiaohao know these two people?"
Young or old, they all surrounded Chen Hao, wanting to get the answer.
Xu Wenna's mother took her hand and asked her softly, "Wenna, is what Xiaohao said true?"
"Well, this is the water they gave us."
Xu Wenna took out the bottle of water from her backpack, and Xu's mother took it and looked at it again and again.
"If it's true, we can survive."
"Wenna, where is my daughter? Why didn't Xiaorong come back with you?"
A woman pushed through the crowd and walked weakly towards Xu Wenna, Xiaorong's mother.
"Aunt, Xiaorong...she..." Xu Wenna cried and shook her head, "I will take care of you in the future."
Xiaorong's mother looked dazed. "It's better for her to go. It's too tiring to stay in this world. Her father will take good care of her in the underworld."
Xiaorong's mother turned around numbly, returned to her seat and lay down.
No one saw the tears flowing from her eyes.
Xu Wenna wanted to go forward to comfort her, but saw that Xiaorong's mother had her eyes closed.
She stopped and thought about waiting until Xiaorong's mother calmed down before going to check on her.
"Xiaohao, what do you think of these two people? Are they liars?"
A middle-aged man thought carefully and asked Chen Hao in a low voice.
"Those two don't look like liars."
Chen Hao said without thinking.
He didn't quite believe it at first, but his intuition told him.
These two people don't look like liars, either in terms of their dress or temperament.
Even if he was really a liar, he admitted it.
They are all dying now, and if there is a chance to survive offered to them, why don’t they seize it?
After listening to Chen Hao, everyone gathered together to discuss.
Several young people asked him to tell them what happened today and then decide whether to go with Chen Hao.
"Don't trust Chen Hao."
Lin Songhua and Shen Jin strode in with red faces.
The two men were panting and almost fainted from the sun because they were in such a hurry.
"son."
Four figures ran towards the two of them. They were the parents of Lin Songhua and Shen Jin.
The two comforted their parents and walked towards Chen Hao with cold faces.
"Chen Hao, are you trying to trick everyone into dying with you?"
Lin Songhua glared at Chen Hao, "How can there be so many good things in the world? Uncles and aunts, don't be fooled."
"Songhua is right. Everyone must think carefully. Songhua and I tried to persuade Chen Hao, but he scolded us."
Shen Jin confused right and wrong and sneered with disdain.
Xu Wenna's face flushed and she yelled, "That's not the case. It was you who had an argument with us over a bottle of water."
Lin Songhua and Shen Jin snorted, "Do you have any evidence? It's obvious that you and Chen Hao are trying to deceive people. We came back with good intentions to remind everyone."
They couldn't get the benefits, and they wouldn't let Chen Hao get them.
Chen Hao's face was full of disbelief and he clenched his hands.
Is this the brother from the past?
From torrential rain to extreme cold, they supported each other all the way.
Now they have become enemies because of a bottle of water?
"Chen Hao, what do you say?"
A man standing in front of Chen Hao spoke. His name was Gao Feng.
Gao Feng was one of the people who went out to greet Chen Hao just now, and he was also the oldest and most stable one among them.
"I have to go, after all, I was given a bottle of water."
Chen Hao said without thinking, "Brother Gao, I don't know if they are scammers. I just want to take a gamble. If I win, my parents can live a few more days."
Gao Feng touched his chin with his right hand and made up his mind.
"I'll go too. We have more people, but even if we get cheated, a few of us will be able to escape. Just like you said, if we win, our family can live a few more days."
They were running low on water and even less on food.
Originally, a group of young people, relying on their youthful vigor, were unwilling to go to the base.
I thought I could survive with my own abilities.
Not only is there no food to be found outside now, there is not even much water.
It’s better to take a gamble than to live like this.
Only after winning and getting food and water can they consider whether to go to the base.
"Brother Gao and Chen Hao both went, so I'll go too."
"I'm going too. I'm almost starving to death. Why should I worry about whether it's a scam or not?"
"Even if I'm cheated, as long as I can have a full meal, I'll die."
A group of young people were excited and decided to follow Chen Hao.
A person only needs to work for six hours to get a pound of rice and a bottle of water.
If you eat sparingly, it can last for several days.
"Brother Gao, are you crazy?"
Lin Songhua gritted his teeth, unable to believe that they were actually going?
"Just think of me as crazy! If there's no more food, my parents will die. I can't let them die."
Gao Feng spoke in a deep voice.
In order to save food for him, his parents are now lying on the ground hungry and have difficulty even walking.
"Xiaohao, how many people do they want?"
"Xiaohao, do you think I can do this?"
Some people who were so hungry that they couldn't bear it asked Chen Hao anxiously.
Chen Hao patiently answered everyone, "Those two people didn't limit the number of people, they just asked me to bring people to work at 11:30."
As for why it was half past eleven, Chen Hao didn't know.
I guess it might be because the weather was cooler at that time, so people wouldn't get heatstroke while working.
"Uncles and aunts, don't believe him."
Lin Songhua and Shen Jin persuaded people everywhere, and they actually persuaded quite a few people.
Two hours later, everyone split into two groups.
A group of people are afraid of being cheated and killed, so they are unwilling to go.
A group of people had no choice but to take a gamble.
Chen Hao and Gao Feng began to count the number of people.
There were 125 of them, but only 57 were willing to go, and more than half did not go.

Among these 57 people, there are two children under the age of ten and five elderly people who are too old.
As for people with bad character, unexpectedly, they are all on Lin Songhua's side.
This saved Chen Hao a lot of trouble.
"Grandpa Li, Grandma Pan, you are too old, you should go back and rest."
Chen Hao said in a low voice.
He really couldn't bear to see an old man in his seventies following them to work.
Besides, he was afraid of Gu Luan and the other man, and was unwilling to accept older people.
"Xiaohao, please let us go."
The five old men begged Chen Hao, hoping that Chen Hao would agree.
Chen Hao's face was bitter. "Grandpa and grandma, it's not that I don't want to."
Gao Feng knew Chen Hao’s dilemma, so they could only discuss together what to do.
These five are all lonely elderly people. Either they have no family, or their family members did not make it and died.
In short, due to various reasons, they survived but their families are gone.
Finally, everyone reached a unanimous decision.
Each person donated a handful of rice and collected five bottles of water for the five elderly people.
There are about fifty people, and each person only needs to give a little bit, so the loss is not big.
Some people were reluctant, but finally agreed to donate some supplies.
