"I……"
Fanla still lowered his head. He didn't dare to look at Banxian'er. He was afraid of seeing something in those eyes, so he simply stopped looking.
"I understand what you mean. It's annoying, but what I want to say is that there are so many people in the world. My ability is very limited, not as powerful as you think, so I can't save many people. I can only save a very small number of people. The small number of people I saw, such as you and your leg, you bastards, and the commander, and our Sichuan Army Corps, are the ones I saw. I know this is unfair, but I believe you already know that there is no fairness in this world."
"It's just that this time, it seems that God is blessing you, so I'm here. That's it. I like the captain because he is doing the right thing, something we should do no matter what the cost. He is also trying his best to save more people. A thousand people died, just like he said, he owes a thousand graves. Believe it or not, he is better than me, so I am willing to help him and work with him. It makes me feel very meaningful. Right and wrong are very important."
"No one wants to suffer, but I don't want to be blind. My eyesight is very good, better than yours. I can't feel at ease. I feel bad because I deserve it. I can't convince myself that all this was inevitable. The war will eventually pass. Yes, all this will pass, but even if I save one more person, I can't turn a blind eye. I really am just a half-witted person."
"So, Master Meng, can you use a sewing machine? Can you help me, a novice?"
Meng Fanle sat on the ground, leaning against the pillar next to him, looking up at Shuoyu with his eyes blinking hard.
Shuo Yu was a little worried that his eyes were twitching. He stood up, patted himself, and reached out to Meng Fanle for help. He knew Fanle would not refuse him. He was always mean-spirited, but he had a soft heart. Although he himself might not be able to use that old-fashioned sewing machine very well, he would still help. This was Fanle.
"Okay, I'll help you out reluctantly."
Maodou jumped into Meng Fanle's arms, almost causing him to fall to the ground. The kitten didn't know what he had done wrong, but just looked up at this ugly human, meowing as if to say, "Human, hurry up and catch up with the guy in front!"
Shuo Yu had eyes on his back, so he saw this scene, but he just laughed secretly and didn't stop. He really didn't know much about mechanical things, but he had always wanted to own a sewing machine.
The next morning, their leader left without a trace, taking with him a lot of money and various in-demand items he had bought from Milongtao, such as cigarettes, alcohol, stockings, soap, etc. He looked like a nouveau riche who had suddenly become rich. He left in a hurry, and his bicycle didn't even have a seat, so he had to use a helmet to hold it up.
Fanla said he would be beaten to death if he left their door. Shuoyu muttered that it was not that bad, but he still stuffed a life-saving talisman into his clothes. If something really happened to him, at least the captain could hold on until they could rescue him.
Before leaving, Si La Si La asked Ban Xian Er and the others to buy more food and cook more dishes. They should eat better than the Yu family soldiers. They should eat two dry meals a day and cook more meat. When he came back, he wanted to see half a regiment waiting for him.
From the beginning of the morning, Shuoyu and Shepizi were in charge of cooking. They cooked white rice, big steamed buns, pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and spicy hot pot with Yunnan style. They cooked two dishes and two staple foods.
Shuo Yu used a lot of pig bones to make a big pot of bone soup as the soup base. The aroma could be smelled ten miles away from their temporary base. At the most critical moment, there was also the most important thing in it, something that no one else would ever have - his blood.
There were not only people cooking by their stoves, but more security personnel than cooks. After all, the whole Zenda City was suffering from famine, and Yu Xiaoqing's troops were just trying to ensure that they would not starve to death. Big Beard, Li Ula, Death Star, and Big Eyes, who volunteered, took the few good guns of their regiment and pretended to be fierce, guarding against someone taking advantage of the fire to rob before the food was ready.
Fanla said that this was too shameless, so he was too embarrassed to come out and stayed in the room to figure out how to use the old-fashioned sewing machine. The veterinarian, the half-immortal, the non-spicy, the numb were wearing the fruits of his labor all night, but they were all crooked, but wearable.
The reason why Fanla was so serious about studying it was simply because Shuoyu told him that if he could learn it, he should teach Xiaozui in a few days. This way, Xiaozui would have a stable source of income. If only these bastards needed clothes, she wouldn't have to do other jobs because she couldn't eat.
Their leader opened his own pockets to host this kind of buffet without any regard for the number of guests, which was a typical behavior of a prodigal son, especially since there was a guy who kept giving him money to support his unethical and treacherous behavior.
Shuo Yu looked at the sea of people gathered around him. Their small courtyard was already packed, and there was a long line of people squatting by the wall outside the door. People came in an endless stream, and there were also people like Clauber going to various troops to spread the word. One roll brought ten, ten rolls brought a hundred...
These people are all under Yu Datie's command. So sometimes no matter how much nonsense you say on the podium, it is not as exciting as saying "I don't have to do my homework today" to arouse the crowd's emotions.
There were more and more people, and Ayi was busy registering them. They had two dry meals a day: white rice and pork stewed with vermicelli. Some of them wanted to live right outside the door of Shuoyu's temporary base so that they could eat as soon as possible.
