Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1398 The edge of exile
Lin Sanjiu really didn't know how he survived for another two days.Since the "rest farmland" program started for three days, every day has been exactly the same: she opened her eyes at [-]:[-] in the morning, and lay down for a while in weakness, hunger, and dizziness before gathering enough strength to get up and eat. The next food ball.

At five o'clock, the four farmers had already started plowing the fields, and they worked all the way until ten o'clock in the morning before they could replenish a food ball, take a nap, and let Lu Hua use this time to repair and overhaul the farm tools.In this way, they divided a day's work into three parts, working for five hours in a row, before taking an hour's rest; Lin Sanjiu always felt that the short rest not only failed to restore her energy, but made the next work even longer and more difficult That's it—not to mention she'll work an extra hour at night just to give Bao Bao a break.

After finishing the day's work at nine o'clock in the evening, she was often so tired that her mind was so tired that she even thought that Han Suiping was still alive. It wasn't until she saw the body covered in blankets in the corner that she woke up. over here.

Compared with farmers, the life of workers and tax collectors is much better.Workers still have several hours of work every day, but the tax collector only needs to go there once a day, and it takes less than an hour to go back and forth.Except for Horst's occasional murmur of "I would have chosen the tax collector if I knew it earlier", there are almost only reed paintings and occasional indistinct whispers left in the room-after all, for farmers Speaking, the strength to open your mouth to speak is a burden.

The biggest consolation is nothing more than the increasing number of food balls around Sparan.They were all wrapped in paper bags and neatly piled up on the ground; Lin Sanjiu would glance at them whenever she felt that she was about to lose weight—the more food balls she had, the closer she would be to the gift bag plan. The end is getting closer.No matter what the real purpose of the gift package is, at least by then, such hard times will come to an end.

On the morning of the fifth day after entering the "rest farmland" plan, Lu Hua suddenly raised his voice and called out to Sba'an who was far away from the room.

"You only eat three balls a day, surely it's not enough?" She and Jiansheng sat side by side by the farmland, far away from Han Suiping. "We only eat four pills a day, and we can't bear it...You are the most responsible, shouldn't you eat more pills?"

Why is his responsibility the heaviest?This thought flashed through Lin Sanjiu's mind—but she was too tired, and the farming work in front of her occupied most of her mind, so she didn't think about it at all.The heaviest is the heaviest.

Ji Shanqing who was not far away stopped her hands, which made her turn around too.

Sibaan was leaning against the wall, as if he hadn't moved for a long time.Even if she couldn't see his face clearly, Lin Sanjiu could feel that his energy and physical strength had already lost seven or eighty eighty-eight; since the two met, she seemed to be the first to see Siba'an so pale and fragile.

Hearing Lu Hua's question, he paused for several seconds before finally opening his mouth.

"No...no need." His voice was originally smoky, but now it became deeper and hoarse, as if it would disperse into light sand and be swept away by the wind.

"But with only three, it's difficult to even speak, right?" Jian Sheng asked.

Siba'an seemed to want to shake his head, but he didn't move in the end. "I have no problem...don't think about me." It was obviously difficult for him to speak, but at least he could open his mouth and lowered his eyes and said, "We have to last another two or three days, and that's about it."

The two nodded and looked at each other.

"Then...if it's okay," Lu Hua seemed to feel that what she was going to say next made it very difficult for her to open her mouth, and she hesitated for a long time while grabbing the corner of her clothes, before saying, "Do you mind responding to the words on the wall?"

What words?

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that he had been plowing the fields with his head down for a long time, and he didn't know how long he hadn't looked up.It seemed that she was not the only one, when the gift bag looked up, she took a deep breath, obviously seeing the writing on the wall for the first time.

In the anonymous concern area that had not been moved for several days, at some point, a new concern appeared.

"How can it be possible to live on only 3 food balls? He is not a vegetable, and he can just lie there motionless... He still has to work and talk. Without the fourth food ball, he can't do it, right? ?”

Every movement of Sibaan turning around and raising his head seemed heavy and powerless.He stared at the wall quietly for a while, all he could see was his blond hair, he was anxious for a while, and no one spoke.

"What... do you mean?" He finally spoke, and smiled softly. "Someone suspects that I secretly ate the fourth ball?"

Lin Sanjiu immediately thought of Lu Hua who asked the question, but after thinking about it again, besides her and Ji Shanqing, the other two farmers seemed not to be very surprised when they saw this thought—did they just saw it?Or is it their thoughts?

"Under pressure and fatigue," Jiansheng said as if trying to smooth things over, "it is inevitable that someone will think too much. You might as well explain it to reassure that person."

"How do you explain it?" Lin Sanjiu has always been a calm personality, but after the past few days, she felt that there seemed to be an awl piercing her from time to time, and immediately asked: "His physical strength is better than others, what's the matter with this?" explain?"

Jian Sheng glanced at her, and seemed to be a little irritated by her tone: "Why don't you use farming when you are so energetic? Are you still holding back if you don't solve the problem?"

"There's no need to quarrel." Ji Shanqing's face darkened, and he unceremoniously fought back for his sister: "Do you think this is a problem? In the past, how many balls we saved every day were all clear. Just do the math. If you think Spartan took the food balls privately, you just go over and count them."

Perhaps even he was worn out by the environment and lost his composure, and added: "...Anyway, you are the one who has the most leisure."

Jian Sheng's complexion suddenly became ugly, and his forehead flushed red. "I don't distrust Sparan. Some of us do think so. I want to solve the problem. What's the use of showing your loyalty to me? You should find that person and let him count."

"No need,"

Siba'an said coldly, telling them all to shut up.After everyone fell silent, he slowly stood up while supporting the wall, bent down, and reached out to remove a food ball from the pile. "Don't... look for that person. I spread out the food balls, and you can count them across the room."

...It was really an unnecessary waste of his physical strength.Lin Sanjiu watched his slow and sluggish movements, anxious to find out the owner of that thought, and yell at him.

Every time Sbaan puts down a ball, Lu Pibao will count it. After all the food balls are counted, it is indeed the total number saved in the past few days, 64.

"It's been delayed for half a day," Lin Sanjiu said with a sullen face, "Since there is no problem, let's continue working quickly."

"Well, the numbers are right," Jiansheng said, nodding.

Ji Shanqing looked back at him and said nothing.

If the numbers are right, isn’t it all right? What else can I say?Impatiently, Lin Sanjiu picked up the farm tools again, Nuyue and Horst also picked up the work they had left behind when they saw this—the words "the number is correct", even after the voice disappeared, seemed to be Still hovering over the room for a while.

"Sister," Ji Shanqing called her in a low voice, "Can you say something to them? It's best to attract their attention..."

Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought about it, then asked, "Why? What's wrong?"

He sighed. "Forget it, it's useless to attract a moment's attention, what should come will come sooner or later..."

"What should come?" She became more and more confused.

"Theoretically speaking, if Sba'an wants to get greedy for food balls, there is another way." Coincidentally, just as Ji Shanqing started to say this, someone suddenly called out, "You guys Look!" - Lin Sanjiu followed everyone's gaze and turned around, and found that the thoughts in the anonymous concern area had been renewed.

"Although the numbers are correct, if he ate a little off each one, we wouldn't be able to find out just by counting?"

After seeing this thought, Sibaan raised his eyes, his eyes were dark green and cold. "It's over?"

Everyone couldn't help but wince.

"Actually, we all believe in your innocence," the woman said without speaking for a long time, her voice hoarse. "You don't have to worry about the thoughts that some villain hides in his stomach and dare not say."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one objected for a moment.

Just when the atmosphere was not embarrassing, the writing on the wall changed again—this time it was not a message in the anonymous concern area; instead, there was an extra line of writing next to the date and time, which read "Attention, if any Someone who shows signs of dereliction of duty and using his position for personal gain will be punished by taking his position."

Lin Sanjiu grabbed the hand of the gift bag beside him, and only then stopped the dizziness in his mind.

What does it mean?This was obviously aimed at Sparan.Depriving the peasants of their posts is not a "punishment".

Everyone looked at each other for a while, not knowing who started the conversation first, the buzzing whispers started intermittently.

"There are even prompts on the wall of the room..." Lu Hua sighed. "Perhaps they are asking us to find out about this matter?"

"If he is deprived of his position, who will be the supervisor?" Horst asked, looking at Jiansheng. "Should I follow the method of promotion... or find someone else?"

Sibaan sat on the ground, motionless looking at the buzzing people.

"I also think it's impossible to score three balls a day, but after all, Sparan is different from us." The woman said half defensively, "I don't know why there are such words on the wall..."

"People who are deprived of their positions will become idlers without a job. The job cannot be changed; those who are willing to make greater sacrifices and take on an extra job can register as candidates, and all people with jobs will vote to decide whether to take the post. .” The line on the wall changed again, as if in response to them.

"Obviously, we have to find out the weight of the food ball now." Jiansheng lowered his head and coughed: "Actually, I have a way... If the food ball is pinched down a little, its weight will be wrong , you may not be able to see it, but with my tax collector's tool, you can test it out."

He didn't dare to look in the direction of Siba'an, so he just scanned the crowd with his eyes.

"How about it?" Jiansheng's voice trembled slightly, "If everyone agrees... I'll go over and have a test?"
