Chapter 443 Two Strange Men
Chapter 443 Two Strange Men
Ye Shu originally thought that the man would be very surprised after he told him such a big news.
As it turned out, the man was surprised, but not particularly surprised.
Just very bland.
Ye Shu asked, "You knew there were mines in this area a long time ago, didn't you?"
After thinking for a moment, he asked in surprise, "You didn't come here just for the mine, did you?"
Huo Yisheng's expression made Ye Shu feel that he should shut up!
Curiosity killed the cat!
Good people die because they talk too much!
But how could Huo Yisheng possibly harm his wife? He just smiled helplessly and sighed: "My wife is really not ordinary smart!"
He embraced her, held her in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Not everyone is as lucky as you to find such a rough stone at the bottom of the river."
Ye Shu was so shocked that she didn't know how to start talking to him.
Seeing that she was frightened, Huo Yisheng simply made his words clearer: "There is indeed something nearby, a rare mineral. This is one of the reasons why I brought the team here."
"But I really didn't know about this jadeite mine beforehand. I'll have to report it to my superiors later."
As for jade, whether it can be mined or not is another matter.
But now that it has been discovered, it must be recorded.
Timely tracking and protection are also required to prevent others from stealing and mining, which would not only result in the loss of mineral resources but also cause more trouble if the ecological environment is damaged.
Ye Shu listened to him say this, his mind racing, and he soon grasped the key point.
There are also rich mineral resources under the seabed of Island No. 3, which have been discovered here. Huo Yisheng also brought a group here specially.
So, these two mines might be related?
She took a deep breath, pretending she hadn't noticed anything, and asked, "Then this..."
Huo Yisheng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Since you picked it up, it is your fate, hide it!"
Ye Shu also laughed: "I'll tell you again in secret, it's not one piece, it's two pieces!"
Huo Yisheng: "My wife is such a lucky star! How come such good things like picking up treasures always fall on you!"
Ye Shu caught so many fish today, there will definitely be a fish feast at the camp tonight!
But you definitely can’t finish it in one go!
So, the female comrade who was reclaiming the land left two fish in the camp, cleaned them, cut them into pieces, and then spread salt on them to marinate them. After a few days, they were marinated thoroughly and then hung them up to dry.
This way you can eat slowly and for a long time.
The only ones left behind were Sister Jin and Zhuang Jingjing. As they worked, they sighed, "I knew there would be something delicious if we followed Ye Shu!"
"These fish are enough to keep us fed for a long time!"
They cut the middle part of the fish and marinated it, and the remaining head and tail would be eaten in the next two days.
The head can be stewed into soup, and the tail can be braised or grilled.
Anyway, there are many people in the camp, the soldiers do physical work, and eat a lot, so they don’t worry about the fish going bad if they can’t finish it.
Add some dried cabbage, dried mushrooms and vermicelli, it smells so good!
The food is so good that it would be scary if you told others about it!
These days, there are still many people out there who don’t have enough to eat!
It’s nothing like what they have now, where every meal is either fish or meat, and the meat comes in different forms, such as pheasant, wild duck, wild boar, wild sheep, and if they are lucky, they can even get a deer!
Who knows?
Is this really the life of hardship in the wilderness?
Anyway, even if you tell them, they themselves won’t believe it!
After the fish fillets were marinated, Mrs. Jin gave Ye Shu a large portion, estimating that it would be enough for their family to eat for five or six meals.
Each family was given enough food for one or two meals, and the rest was sent to the kitchen so that the soldiers could eat more.
As for the fish head and the fish tail, there is no distinction. Anyway, the house has not been built yet and everyone lives together, so we might as well just eat from the same pot!
The kids had fun roasting the fish tails and discovered that the fish bones tasted especially delicious when roasted crispy!
Everyone was eating when suddenly, Zhuang Jingjing nudged Ye Shu with her elbow and whispered, "Look, those two men over there are so strange."
Ye Shu looked in the direction she pointed and saw two men standing inside the iron railings on the other side of the wall, looking at the camp.
It was actually dark at this time, and apart from the fire, the visibility around was not good.
Zhuang Jingjing had just gone back to get clothes for the children, and when she passed by, she saw two people standing inside the wall.
But Ye Shu can see clearly now because of his good eyesight.
The two men were staring blankly at the camp.
Zhuang Jingjing: "What are they looking at? Why do I feel creepy? Could it be because we eat from the same big pot, the food is so good and fragrant, so they are greedy and want to eat too?"
Sister Jin heard it and said immediately:
"Oh, they're dreaming! I heard that these people are all serious criminals! The fact that they weren't executed is a sign of mercy from the organization. And they still want to eat well? You're dreaming!"
She speaks frankly, making everyone laugh.
Ye Shu, however, felt that they didn't necessarily want to eat.
Zheng Lan shares the same view:
"No, the soldiers have been eating campfire meals since they came here. Everyone is in the wild, and since they came here, everyone has had good food."
Because they could go up the mountain and into the woods to hunt, the soldiers had meat to eat almost every day.
If someone inside the wall was greedy, they would have been greedy a long time ago and would not have waited until now.
Ye Shu frowned, noticing the two men's unfriendly looks, and whispered a warning:
"Ladies, please be careful and tell the children not to get near there. Let's eat separately starting tomorrow."
Sister Jin felt something was wrong with her reminder: "What are you doing...?"
Ye Shu nodded affirmatively:
"It's absolutely right to be careful. Don't forget their identities. They are serious criminals who will be confined to their homes for the rest of their lives and have no chance of having their sentences reduced. They may have no purpose in life and won't hesitate to do anything."
After she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes, lowered her voice, and added, "Perhaps, for them, it might still be a kind of fun? Exciting? Or a relief?"
This was not her fabrication or conjecture, but the feeling those two men gave her.
After she left Island No. 3, her five senses and physical fitness gradually deteriorated, approaching the level of a normal person.
But after going down the river today, she felt sharp again!
As soon as she finished speaking, silence fell around them.
Just when Ye Shu thought everyone was thinking she was exaggerating, she suddenly heard Sister Jin say, "You're right!"
Zheng Lan: "Let's divide the fish heads and tails. Starting tomorrow, each family can cook it in front of their door! Try not to face the wall. If that doesn't work, try to find a way to move the tent door to another side."
Zhuang Jingjing warned her girls: "Stay away from that place, okay?"
