Chapter 299 Someone robbed(1/2)
Although the implanted advertisement is crazy, the possibility of staying is really not great.
Katnis couldn't help but tempt, ate with a sweet look on his face, chewing it in small mouthfuls.
It seems that the taste of the meat muffin is very suitable for her. It combines sweet and salty well. The soft texture and the aroma of the dough and shredded meat full of mouth are even more wonderful experiences beyond Katnis' imagination.
"Where did it come from?" Katniss asked while eating, a little envious of him for not caring about him alone.
"I made it." Ning Yun smiled.
"How is that possible?" Katniss was surprised. "You can go to the black market to sell it, this is the best food I've ever eaten."
"Thank you, I'm glad you can appreciate it, but it's too complicated to make." Ning Yun said with complexity, but took out another one in his bag and handed it to Katniss, "And there are several more, you can bring your sister."
Ning Yun took out more meat muffins and wrapped them in oil paper carefully and carefully.
Katniss' favorite is her sister Polim, which is more useful than pleasing Katnis herself.
But Katniss's face changed: "What does this mean?"
"How many times have you registered on the harvest record?" Ning Yun asked.
"Twenty times." Katniss was stunned and suddenly asked, "How many times have you?"
Ning Yun shrugged indifferently: "One hundred times."
"This is impossible!" Katniss was very surprised.
The number of registrations on the harvest record is equivalent to the number of signs when participating in the Hunger Games lottery. The more registrations are, the more signs are, the greater the chance of being selected.
No one wants to participate in the Hunger Games. According to regulations, anyone has the right to gain when they are twelve years old.
That year, the name was registered once, and when the age of thirteen, it was registered twice, and so on, until the age of eighteen, it was the last year of seven consecutive years of registration, and this was true in the twelve districts.
The problem is that most of each district are poor. Poor people can register a harvest record in exchange for food rolls.
The food stamp exchanged for is equivalent to the grain and oil distributed in the year of poor harvest.
Katniss registered four times at the age of twelve, the first time was that he had to register, and three other times, for himself, for his sister Polim and his mother.
In fact, almost all poor people do this every year, and the number of registrations is accumulated.
Katniss's boyfriend Gale, who had to support the five-person family for seven years, had accumulated forty-two signs at the age of eighteen.
This is already a lot. Katniss was of course very surprised to hear Ning Yun's 100 times who didn't need to support his family. This was almost the highest level, and no one was higher than this.
Ning Yun took out a thick stack of food rolls and handed them to Katniss, who was staring at wide eyes: "I've given it to you, there are 94 pieces in total."
Katnis, who was originally squatting, was so scared that he couldn't help but retreat and sat down on the ground: "You're crazy!"
This means that your family will not need to be forced to exchange food rolls for thirty years. Increase the chance of death means that you will not have to endure hunger for thirty years.
Ning Yun pulled up the panicked Katniss: "There are two loopholes in exchange for food rolls with a sign. If everyone exchanges a fixed food roll, the chance is actually the same, and we can still ensure fullness."
"That's impossible, there are always people who don't want it. The rich don't need it at all, and the poor don't want it." No matter what, Katnis was sitting next to Ning Yun.
"I know too." Ning Yun was helpless. "There is another way. Someone volunteered to participate in the Hunger Games, and others could exchange food rolls for as much as possible."
"The signing is accumulated, what about the next year?"
"So it takes eighteen years old, like your boyfriend Gale. And his friends of the same age."
"What do you mean?" Katniss was a little alert.
Ning Yun said casually: "This year, I volunteered to participate in the Hunger Games. Tell you this news, you can ask Gail to exchange food rolls, which is fine for anyone who is eighteen years old, but keep it confidential. These ninety-four pieces are the maximum amount I can exchange for, and they already doubt me. I think this news is very valuable, and these food rolls will be given to you."
"Why give it to me?" Katniss looked up.
"No one else can give it to you." Ning Yun stood up calmly, left the grass, and left the food roll and Youchen meat muffin to Katnis, who was at a loss and had a trace of meat residue on his mouth.
It was not until Ning Yun walked far that Katnis hurriedly packed the meat muffin and food rolls into his bag.
When he got home, Katnis hid the food rolls before taking out the meat muffin to share with his sister and mother.
When he went to the forest to meet up with his boyfriend Gale and got his ordinary fermented bread, Katnis suddenly lost his appetite.
I tried to tell Gale several times that Ning Yun volunteered to participate in the Hunger Games, but I took it back.
Katniss and Gale had several unpleasant conversations because of the food roll problem.
Gail always complains loudly, saying that food stamps are tools for people in the 12th district. Doing sow hatred between the poor and the rich and powerful, so that they will never believe in each other. If we split us, the people in the capital can reap the benefits.
Katniss thought his anger was meaningless. What's the use of shouting in the woods? This can't change anything, it can't be fair, it can't fill its stomach. In fact, it will scare away the prey around it.
But Katniss still asked Gale to yell, and it would be better for him to yell in the woods than in the 12th District.
If Gail knew that others gave him so many food rolls, it would be hard to imagine how he would react.
The next day, Katniss took the initiative to find Ning Yun.
"Why, Eric?"
Ning Yun found that it was really inconvenient to use the name ****. Since Titanic, as long as you use this name, your influence will become smaller.
"I said, no one can give it to you, you know, I look so, I am isolated here, and you know how serious it is, I have no friends."
"I won't want children!" Katniss stressed.
"What are you talking about?" Ning Yun was puzzled.
After a day of thinking, Katniss understood that Eric was betting that he didn't really want to volunteer for the Hunger Games.
In the twelve districts shrouded in death and hunger, among the poor, the only purpose of a boy using a lot of food to please a girl is to marry her. There is no other possibility.
The importance of food is not to be explained at all. Every day, Katnis risked being executed and went out to hunt just to fill his stomach.
Because Katniss knew that if he chose one between being executed and starved to death, he would rather choose to be executed, at least so quickly, just one go.
As Eric, who is different from anyone, if you want to truly integrate into the 12th zone and not be seriously excluded, you can only look forward to the improvement of the next generation. Marrying a girl with dark hair and gray eyes like yourself is the best way.
The poorer the place, the more severe the rejection of people who are different from you. Like the mother and sister with golden hair and blue eyes, they are also rejected.
But they are much lighter than Eric.
This kind of rejection is not only an attitude, but also a matter of survival chances.
In the 12th District, few people do not commit crimes at all, and the whistleblowers like the most are those who are unique.
It was also hunting, and someone was found to be covered by it. The officials were unwilling to let themselves die for the sake of their mouths.
But if it were Eric, there would be no chance of survival.
There are too many unequal treatments. So for the sake of realistic survival, Eric has to let himself and make his next generation like everyone else as possible.
"Why is it not someone else, why is it me?" Katniss didn't think he was special. Ninety-four food rolls were enough to find a girl who was more beautiful than himself. Ninety-four food rolls, no one could refuse. At least the hungry poor cannot.
Katniss once again emphasized: "I won't want children, in District 12, when there is the Hunger Games, I won't!"
Yi Ningyun's social thinking that had just arrived for two days. I really don't understand what Katniss refers to.
A look at the favorability will be beneficial to future cooperation and will not be so serious.
"I said that I have no other choice."
"I can't accept it." Katnis looked around. It was quiet. No one was nearby. He took out a large stack of food rolls and stuffed them to Ning Yun. "You can just go find someone else, I don't meet your requirements."
Ning Yun shook his head: "No matter whether the criteria meet or not, I just want to give it to you."
Katniss was a little overwhelmed.
Ning Yun pushed the food roll back again: "The food roll has been exchanged and cannot be returned. Think about your sister, don't she need it? Don't you want to reduce her chances."
Katniss hesitated.
Ning Yun persuaded: "Now you can still exchange food rolls, but in two years, only your sister will meet the requirements. For food, she always needs to exchange it, which will increase her chances."
Katniss's face looked ugly.
After thinking for a minute, Katnis took out twelve food rolls and took them to his hands, and returned the rest to Ning Yun: "I can provide them in the past two years. In the remaining four years, there are only twelve ones, which is enough. I suggest you give the rest to a good girl."
After a pause, Katniss said seriously: "May opportunities always be good for you!"
Looking at Katnis's chic back, Ning Yun was helpless this time.
For several consecutive days, Katniss did not give Ning Yun the chance to speak alone.
In such a harsh society, Ning Yun really couldn't find any room to play.
Any outrageous behavior will lead to unpredictable consequences.
If other movies are "Grand Theft Auto", which has a very high degree of freedom, this movie is a Japanese gal.game with only a mouse left, and everything can only be carried out according to the program.
A few days later, the lottery day for District 12 has arrived.
At 1:00 p.m., everyone walked towards the square. As long as they were not dying, they had to go. At night, officials would check from house to house, and if they were not allowed for no reason, they would be thrown into prison.
Everyone has changed into the most beautiful clothes.
People lined up and walked forward quietly, trying to extract blood to verify it. Fortunately, Ning Yun's identity is fine, but it is inevitable that the pain will be painful.
Ning Yun nodded at Katnis on the right and greeted him, but received no response.
Teenagers aged twelve to eighteen were driven to an area surrounded by ropes. Outside were middle-aged and elderly people, the largest one stood in front, and the younger one was the lower they were.
The family stood on the periphery of the rope area, with hands tightly pulled together. Some people had nothing to worry about at this time of life and death, or simply didn't care, and just mingled in the crowd, betting on which children from the two families were selected. Some bet on the age of the selected person, while others bet on who collapsed or cried first.
