Furuzawa Qiandao did not speak immediately, but began to think about what to do.
No matter which path this group of orphans survive by clinging to a group, they will only face death.
At least we can still rely on teamwork and sharing food to sustain the survival of more than a dozen children. But if the group is disbanded, let alone some children who rely on luck to survive, those who are already teenagers will not be able to survive on their own. As long as they survive in a good environment, working alone will not bring them much benefit.
Furuzawa Qiandao himself was not sure that he could survive in such an environment until the plot started.
——Even Leibo Street has not yet been formed. He does not know the current timeline of Fumino. Perhaps even Mori Ogai has just quit Tokogan Island, so there is no way to meet those powerful characters.
He chose to struggle with these people and give it a try.
"We can't disband," Furuzawa Qiandao finally answered Dong's words after pondering, "Now we can only barely survive. Is it better to be alone than this?"
Dong clicked his tongue irritably, scratching his short head, and said: "Do you have any other methods? I can do some dirty work, but we don't know how to succeed, and once we are discovered , some children who don’t know anything will only become a burden!”
"But we don't have the ability to steal or rob at all, right?" Furuzawa Qiandao frowned and couldn't help pouring cold water on him, "Even if it's a burglary, if you are discovered, do you want to kill someone?"
"I, I...if this must be the case -" Dong closed his eyes tightly, as if he felt that he could indeed do this in order to survive.
Yuzi quickly grabbed Dong's clothes and shouted in a low voice: "No! Dong! If I do this, I will not continue to stay with these younger brothers and sisters! You will die, and so will they. This is different from what was promised!”
She just wanted to live with the children who escaped together. Even if they died one by one due to accidents, she didn't want to really become a murderer.
——Some children are still longing for a place that allows them to exist safely without treating them as unsightly garbage that can be seen everywhere.
"but!!"
Furuza Qiandao stretched out his hand to interrupt the dispute between the two of them, and a pair of lake-blue eyes glowed with flames in the dim light.
"Winter, Yuzi, do you believe me? I have a way for all of us to get enough money." He said quietly, his eyes falling on the park not far away, "Stealing and robbing are both No, we rich people don’t have that ability, but part of our food comes from these ordinary people. If we do this, it will cut off a way to survive."
Although there are many homeless people who do this kind of thing now, in terms of their usual scope of activities, the fact that ordinary people can still take care of orphans shows that they still have some hope of survival. The goal of stealing and robbing It will not be placed on those rich people who have bodyguards, but will only become people who have saved orphans.
——This is an irrational approach.
Furuzawa Qiandao's words made both Yuzi and Dong fall silent. For Yuzi, as long as the next plan was not too excessive, she would have no objection. Dongya only fell silent because he felt that what he said now was indeed reasonable.
"Yamako, how much money do we need to survive the next six months safely while ensuring food and clothing?" He turned around and asked the girl who was stopping him.
Judging from the observed situation, Okja is similar to the logistics member responsible for the group, and you can probably get a close number by asking her.
Yuzi was slightly startled when she heard her name, and quickly counted on her fingers for a while, and said hesitantly: "If you only buy food occasionally and have to pick up and wash part of the thick clothes, plus the current commodity prices have not increased yet. Too much, probably...three hundred thousand yen."
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and saw the astonished gaze of Furuzawa Qiandao. Her heart tightened and she quickly changed her words: "If we are lucky, we can continue to find some free food, and 150,000 yuan is actually enough!"
Dong didn't know very well the living conditions of a dozen children, but the amount mentioned by Yuzi was particularly troublesome.
In the eyes of their teenage children, this is already a large amount of money. You must know that even the bakery owner who often kindly helps them only earns just over 80,000 yuan a month.
Nowadays, people are very satisfied if they can survive. Because the bakery has paid protection fees to some small local organizations, some people are still living well.
Furusawa Qiandao had a plan in mind, and after some calculations in his mind, he found that his idea was still feasible, so he said to Yuzi: "We don't need to steal or rob directly, but we need to cooperate with other small people who have certain credibility and ability." Organize cooperation and use deception to make others pay willingly.”
When he made this decision, his conscience and morality had already dropped below the standard line.
The only way he can think of now is to rely on the scams he has seen on the Internet before to give himself and these children a chance to breathe.
"Liar?" Dong was confused for a moment, then his eyes lit up slightly, "Do you have any good ideas, Qian Dao?"
Furuzawa Qianjima nodded, "But I need some time, no more than half a month at most... We need to inquire about some things first. Yokohama is too chaotic now, but it's not like no one thinks there is money to be made, so we will You need to select your target first, and then look for someone who is more eager, younger and more likely to be enthusiastic."
"Then..." He paused and began to think about whether there was any local smuggler here who had some credibility and a not-too-ruthless behavior. "I'm going to negotiate with the triads in the area around ○○ Cafe."
This triad was just an organization similar to a gangster group at first, but as the chaos in Yokohama intensified, the official inaction and the mafia began to run rampant, they also began to transform into a Ji/Tao organization, even because of the previous It does have a bit of skill and occupies a small area in the business district.
During the two months of wandering on Furuzawa Qian Island, Huima and he often wandered around there, not only because the places managed by the triads generally did not target children, but also because the shops were densely packed, and food was easier to find—— Just don't really blatantly hang out.
Although the triads that have developed to the present do not play a role in Yokohama, a place where organizations are everywhere and the mafia is as numerous as dogs, they can still be mobilized for a little profit.
Furthermore, the Triads are also facing the problem of accelerating consumption of organizational funds due to the recent increase in fighting. Not to mention that there are so many mouths who rely on the organization to make a living. It is difficult to maintain just collecting protection fees and some secret small-amount transactions. Stablize.
After Furuzawa Qiandao expressed his intention to cooperate through a gangster, he finally met their president, told him his thoughts directly, and told the other party half of the methods of cheating.
In modern times, many people can be deceived by this method. Combined with some other deception techniques, as long as the target is found well, the probability of success is very high.
The president had a cold face. After he finished speaking, he slowly extinguished the cigarette in his hand and put it out in the water bowl next to him. "You are a smart little kid, but with this half idea, we don't need you at all." We have the help, we also have the manpower, there is no need for you brats."
"It's difficult to find a suitable target, let alone someone who decides to come to Yokohama to give it a try under such circumstances." Furuzawa Qianjima sat on the small chair opposite him and tried his best to ignore the surroundings. The aggressive crowd, with a tight little face, looked very serious, "You do have a lot of people to put into it, but us children will save you more worry and effort."
Being weak means being ignored and easy to manipulate. Wanderers wandering around are less likely to arouse suspicion from others and are more likely to hear some news.
Even if the Triad didn't want these children to take away a mouthful of broth later, no one would say anything.
"All you need is a few good-looking people, a piece of groundless news, and a half-truth and half-false company, and you can get a lot of money." He continued to paint the president's cake, as if he was really getting twice the result with half the effort. plan.
The triad has a certain way to trap the target firmly, preventing the prey from noticing the trap in front of it.
But how could it be known if it was just a few children?
- This is a subtle way of saying that they are much more useful than others see.
The president lay on the back of a worn-out sofa chair, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and waved Furuza Qiandao to wait for his news.
"Thank you for giving us the opportunity." Furuzawa Qiandao had no objection, and did not dwell on the final reward. He got up and left here with the gangster.
The second-in-command who was standing silently next to him moved his body, lowered his head and sighed: "That kid, I didn't expect that there was something else in his mind..."
Everyone in the triad group has some impression of this child. Those who can move around with the tacit approval of the triad group are not restless characters. This child named Qiandao just knows the rare brown-red hair and the Zhang's somewhat valuable face - but unfortunately he had a long scar from under his eyes to his ears. He was a new wanderer who followed Huima a few months ago.
It's not easy to lie to people. With such intelligence and courage, why would you have done it earlier?
After the second-in-command finished sighing, the president asked people to prepare according to what they just heard. After all, there were a lot of fat sheep coming and going nearby, and they had been watching them for a long time.
If it really works... I don't know what those children will do.
The president squinted his eyes, and coldness flashed across his eyes.

As soon as Furuzawa Qiandao left near the coffee shop, the child responsible for watching hurried up and said, "Brother Qiandao! How are you?"
"It's not clear yet, but the other party said they would find someone to notify us." Furuza Qiandao let go of his hand, and the cold sweat on his palm made him helpless, "Has the target you are looking for determined?"
"I don't know, I have to ask Brother Dong later." The child shook his head, and the sound of his stomach making him anxious, "Hurry up and go to the meeting point to eat now! If you are late, you will get less food!"
Furusawa Qiandao nodded and followed him to the open space behind an old building. There was a lot of construction waste piled here. Because no one passed by, the plants grew lush, and these thin children could barely hide themselves from any danger.
"Qiandao! Here!" Dong came out from behind a broken wall and waved to the two people who appeared in the distance.
After passing Furuzawa Qiandao, he found that there was a clean area behind it that had been cleared. A dozen children were sitting here in a mess, and Yuzi was giving them today's food one by one.
"I grabbed enough relief food today," Yuzi stroked the hair of a child who was devouring it, "Don't worry, just eat slowly."
"Um...thank you." A girl with pink hair held a cold rice ball as big as her palm and said her thanks hesitantly.
There was a white-haired boy next to him who was eating silently. The three of them didn't seem to be familiar with each other. They sat scattered and didn't gather with other people.
Furuzawa Qiandao noticed the white-haired boy and pink-haired girl appearing here. The inexplicable sense of familiarity made his eyes stop for two seconds. Dong, who had already finished eating, saw this and pulled him to them.
"The three of them are the new children," Dong introduced him, "Yu, Yuxing, and Shirase."
White what? ? What Shirase? !
