It’s the fifth day.
The search and rescue was still in progress. The snakes all went to and from get off work on time. They would leave their caves at dawn and return home at dusk. Of course, Tang Niannian would feed them before leaving.
With the help of these snakes, the eggs and meat in the space are consumed quickly.
"go home!"
After Tang Niannian finished feeding them, he waved his hand and asked the snakes to go home.
Although there were several times more snakes, she was already very calm and would not panic if there were ten times more snakes.
"I don't want any gifts, you're welcome!"
Tang Nian's skin was numb again. These snakes were so polite that they would give her gifts every time they came. They were either dead birds or dead mice. They were lined up neatly in front of her. It really made her balls ache.
"To attract wealth, tell them not to bring gifts in the future. Don't be polite to your own family!"
Tang Niannian called the Zhaocai translator, and Zhaocai ran to the snakes and stuck to them. It took a lot of effort to convey the master's meaning.
The snakes took away their gifts and left reluctantly.
"Tell them not to come again, it will be dangerous!"
Tang Niannian asked Zhaocai to convey that Zhou Siming had been missing for five days. Old man Zhou from the capital would definitely be unable to sit still and would probably come running over.
This old man is ruthless and has a high position. These snakes cannot defeat this old man.
Zhaocai conveyed it dutifully, and the snakes showed a reluctant expression, but they didn't bother and left quickly.
Tang Niannian raised his head and looked at the sky. The moon was dark, the wind was high, and the clouds were dense. God was very powerful and it was going to rain again.
It has been sunny for five days, and there will be heavy rain tonight, and Zhou Siming will die.
Go home and eat first, then start working when you are full!
Tang Niannian walked down the mountain slowly, carrying half a basket of mushrooms. She didn't need to ask for dinner. Mrs. Tang took the initiative to make mushroom soup for her and fried a plate. The wild mushrooms were tender and delicious, and they were delicious.
"It's been five days, aren't those people in the capital dead?" Xu Jinfeng said.
"Eat your food. Whether they live or die is none of our business!"
Mrs. Tang rolled her eyes, and Xu Jinfeng did not dare to mention this matter again.
"Nine pounds, where's the money you earned today?"
Mrs. Tang looked at her little granddaughter and saw that for one dollar a day, she had to hand over eight jiao.
As for the money Tang Manjin and Xu Jinfeng earned, she only used half of it as living expenses, and they saved the rest themselves.
The same is true for the second daughter-in-law and the youngest son. She has no control over their food and accommodation if they are not at home. If they are at home, they must pay living expenses.
"Breast, give it!"
Tang Jiujin pursed his lips, reluctantly took out a dollar and handed it slowly to Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang snatched it away, took out two cents from her pocket, handed it to her granddaughter, and said fiercely: "Don't spend money indiscriminately!"
"oh!"
Tang Jiujin pursed his lips and agreed obediently.
After dinner, Mrs. Tang went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Xu Jinfeng called Jiu Jin to the room, skillfully searched her pockets, took away the two cents, and gave her a five-cent steel coin.
"Mom, I'll keep it for you. You'll be going to school in September. There's a lot of money to spend!"
Xu Jinfeng collected the money and warned: "Don't spend money randomly!"
"oh!"
Tang Jiujin's mouth became even more depressed, and her heart was full of resentment. One dollar turned into two dimes, and then into five cents. She couldn't spend it randomly even if she wanted to.
Grandma and mom are more ruthless than Zhou Bapi.
She only dared to say this in her stomach, not daring to say it out for fear of being beaten.
Xu Jinfeng collected the money with satisfaction. Since she started working, her hands have become much richer, but the money cannot be spent carelessly. Six pounds has to go to school, and nine pounds has to go to school. Two schoolbags are a big expense for a year, and the girl's family still has a lot of money. You have to make new clothes, you can’t wear them too shabby, you have to spend money everywhere, you can’t spend them lavishly.
Tang Jiujin came out with his mouth pursed and his head downcast. Tang Niannian knew what was going on as soon as he saw it. He must have been double exploited and had no money in his hand.
She grabbed the little girl by her collar, dragged her to her room, took out one dollar she earned today, and stuffed nine pounds into her.
Frost hit the eggplant-like Jiujin, as if watering a spiritual spring, and his face immediately became radiant. Jiujin pinched a dollar tightly, his face blossomed into a smile, he held Tang Niannian's arm, and acted coquettishly in his spare time: "Second sister, I love you the most. I like you."
"You like money!"
Tang Niannian flicked her head and cursed with a smile.
Tang Jiujin ran away with a smile. He wanted to hide the money well so that it could not be snatched away by his grandma and mother again.
It was completely dark and everyone in the village was asleep.
Tang Niannian put on night clothes and went up the mountain.
The dark clouds in the sky are crowded together and are very low. The mountains are very stuffy and I feel a little out of breath. The heavy rain will come soon.
Tang Niannian took out the raincoat from the space, put it on, ran to the top of the cave, lay down and listened.
The speed of Zhou Siming and others was pretty good. They dug seven or eight meters in five days. At this speed, they would be out in another three or four days.
But it's a pity that I met her!
Tang Niannian took out the excavator from the space, entered the cab, and waited for the thunderstorm to arrive.
In the cave.
Zhou Siming lay imageless on the ground like a dead corpse, his face was pale and his eyes were dull. He was about to starve to death.
After two days of staying up, his pride and mysophobia were all gone. No earthy smell could compare to his hunger and thirst. There was no shortage of water, but there was no food.
The small pack of biscuits had been eaten long ago, and not even a mouse could be found in the cave. The eight of them were so hungry that they almost ate dirt.
"I'm so hungry...give me something to eat..."
Zhou Siming lay on his back and muttered to himself.
He seemed to see the fragrant barbecue, it smelled so good!
Zhou Siming couldn't help but open his mouth to bite the barbecue, but after biting down, he realized that it was air. It was just an illusion and there was no barbecue at all.
The situation of the others is not very good, but the six subordinates are slightly better. They have received special training and their endurance to endure hunger is stronger than ordinary people.
But they had been working non-stop for five days, and their physical strength was severely exhausted. They had no food supplements and their bodies collapsed.
Eight people were lying on the ground as if dead.
Liu Kangri was the worst off. He had never done physical work. He had no food and could only drink water for five days. He had to do such heavy work. He couldn't hold on anymore.
His consciousness gradually blurred, and he no longer had the strength to raise his hands.
"He has a fever!"
One of his subordinates noticed something strange about Liu Kangri and reached out to touch his forehead. It was hot and the situation was very bad.
"Help me...save me...please..."
Liu Kangri knew that he was not well, but he did not want to die. The Liu family had not yet made a comeback, had not yet prospered, and he had not yet become a master. He was not willing to accept it!
"Do you have anything to eat...I'm so hungry...Give me something to eat..."
Zhou Siming yelled in a daze and licked his lips. Then a sweet liquid flowed in. He sucked it greedily, as if he was drinking the nectar.
After a heavy drink, Zhou Siming felt much better. He opened his eyes and spoke louder.
"Did you find something to eat?"
Zhou Siming looked happy. In the darkness, he didn't see Liu Kangri lying next to him. His face was pale and he was no longer breathing.
"Master, don't talk and save your strength."
None of the men moved, they leaned against the cave wall and closed their eyes to rest.
Zhou Siming choked and was very unhappy. These people disrespected him more and more.
"boom……"
There was thunder outside, and the mountains were shaken.
The six men immediately became alert and stood up. They intuitively sensed that something bad was going to happen and something was bound to happen.
"boom……"
There was another thunder.
The cave really shook, and rocks of all sizes fell one after another.
"Let's go!"
The six men reacted quickly and ran to Zhou Siming's side, trying to help him up to escape, but Zhou Siming had no strength to get up at all, so he relied on them to help him.
Everyone had no strength left. After such a delay, more rocks fell, falling like raindrops, instantly burying Liu Kangri.
