Chapter 5: Do You Dare to Bet With Me?
Chen Yumo's family lived in a densely populated slum, where the environment was extremely poor, and parked the car at the gate of the courtyard, Chen Yumo led Gu Chongsheng into the courtyard.
As soon as the two entered the courtyard, before they could react, a short and fat woman greeted them, and as soon as they came up, she yelled at Chen Yumo.
"Dead girl, what time is it, why are you coming back?" Seeing Chen Yumo carrying cabbage in his hand, the short and fat woman was even more angry, "It's cabbage again, you waste, let Lao Tzu eat cabbage every day, see if Lao Tzu doesn't smoke you to death today." ”
As the words fell, the short and fat woman picked up a rattan erected on the side of the wall and began to whip Chen Yumo, who only had the share of dodging all the way.
Seeing this, Gu Chongsheng hurriedly stepped forward and protected Chen Yumo behind him, "Are you such parents?
The short and fat woman blew her nose and glared, "It's your business that I beat my daughter, where did you come from, dare to take care of our family's affairs." ”
Gu Chongsheng didn't show weakness: "I'm from District 3, what's wrong? ”
The short and fat woman let out a snicker, "Who should I be, it turns out to be a poor bastard from District 3." After that, her fierce eyes looked at Chen Yumo again, "Do you want to die, this kind of poor man dares to take it home, do you still plan to give him cabbage?"
Faced with the short and fat woman's questioning, Chen Yumo just shook his head desperately, "Mom, I didn't bring him here, he had to come with him, I just looked at him pitiful." ”
Chen Yumo's words, but the short and fat woman was indifferent, she shouted towards the house, "Old man, come out and see, the good things your adopted daughter has done, she has already eaten the last meal and not the next meal, and brought the poor people in District 3 to the house." ”
Adopted daughter, Gu Chongsheng only then knew that Chen Yumo was their adopted daughter, no wonder this old woman beat her without asking.
Now it seems that Chen Yumo doesn't have any beautiful sisters or younger sisters, and some should be adoptive parents like vampires.
After the short and fat woman's shouting, a tall, thin man who looked to be in his 50s walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.
After coming out, he glanced at the cabbage in Chen Yumo's hand: "Yumo, can't you fight for some gas and get some rice back? ”
"Dad, I also want to bring rice back, but my ability is limited, so I can only hunt low-level zombies. ”
As soon as Chen Yumo's words fell, the short and fat woman shouted, "You are embarrassed to say that your ability is limited, you look at the youngest son of Aunt Li's family next door, he has been a corpse hunter for only three months and has already been promoted to S3 level, his family eats rice and dried meat every day, what about our family! MD eats cabbage every day, you are a waste!"
The short and fat woman's words, Gu Chongsheng also heard a little bit of the way, and also understood their rules better.
They must have sent one or several people from each family to become corpse hunters after special training, and then they hunted zombies and used the crystals in the zombies to exchange for food to feed their families.
At this time, the tall and thin man chimed in, "Yumo, your parents died early, if we hadn't adopted you, you don't know how many times you have died, this is the last time, if the next time you get back the cabbage, don't blame us old couple." ”
"I think it's better to sell this waste and exchange her for rice and flour, so that our lives can be guaranteed. ”
The short and fat woman's words, the tall and thin man bowed his head in contemplation, his face full of hesitation.
At this moment, a trace of hatred flashed in Chen Yumo's eyes: "Dad, Mom! For the sake of this family, I have a clear conscience, is my life still worth a few bags of rice and flour?"
Chen Yumo's words were sonorous and powerful, Gu Chongsheng felt very uncomfortable after hearing it, he sighed slightly and looked at everyone.
"Okay, don't make any noise, isn't it just rice and flour! What a big deal, do you need this? Leave this matter to me, I will give you as much as you want." ”
As soon as Gu Chongsheng's words fell, the three of them looked at him in unison.
The short and fat woman mocked, "What big words do you say, you can get rice even if you are poor from District 3, who doesn't know that your District 3 is the poorest of the 9 districts, you are already poor and eat tree bark, where is there rice, and you don't know how to make drafts if you brag." ”
"Boy, where are you going back and forth, we don't welcome you, and you still have rice? I guess you can't even get a bark from TM, you're already poor and you're going to pretend to be here. ”
Gu Chongsheng was just about to refute, when a voice came from the door, "Is this Chen Fugui's house?"
Hearing the voice, the crowd turned to look at the door.
There was a man in his 40s standing at the door, 1.6 meters tall, the hair on his head was faintly visible, and what was more conspicuous was his pockmarked face, which made people a little unappetizing, but he was dressed quite decently.
He was followed by several scrawny men, shirtless and carrying sacks on their shoulders.
When the short and fat woman saw the man standing at the door, she immediately smiled, and she trotted all the way up to meet her.
"Yo, isn't this the town's Li Gongzi, what are you doing in our small family?"
This Li Gongzi glanced at the short and fat woman, "I have taken a fancy to your Chen Yumo, and I am going to take her to be my tenth aunt, here is a bag of rice and a bag of flour, if you want, nod, I will take people away today, and I will send someone to send a few bags of rice and flour over in the future." ”
After that, Li Gongzi made a gesture, and the scrawny men behind him put the rice and flour on the ground.
Looking at the rice and flour on the ground, Chen Yumo's parents' eyes suddenly shimmered, and those two pairs of eyes stared straight at each other, as if they had seen a rare treasure.
Gu Chongsheng on the side is even more incredible, a few bags of rice and flour in this last world can get such a beautiful woman like a flower, not to mention that this dead pockmark is still the tenth aunt, it's really unbelievable to think about it.
Looking at the rice and flour on the ground, the short and fat woman nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, of course it's no problem, our family Yumo can marry you is a blessing that she cultivated in her previous life, leave the things, you can take them away." With that, she looked at the tall and thin man, "Old man, you say yes." ”
The tall and thin man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly echoed, "That's not it, as long as Gongzi Li is willing, you can take our Yumo away at any time." ”
As soon as the two sang and harmonized, Chen Yumo suddenly became anxious, "I don't want to marry him, even if I feed the zombies, I won't marry him." ”
After hearing this, the short and fat woman directly stepped forward and gave Chen Yumo a slap in the face, "Shut your dog's mouth, it's the other way around, right?" You don't look at your own identity, you are a waste, it is your blessing to be able to marry Li Gongzi, then again, we raised you so big, your marriage is naturally our master, marry Li Gongzi, you don't have to be that bitter corpse hunter, our old couple is also for your good." ”
"Even if I die, I won't marry him, so kill me. ”
Chen Yumo covered her cheeks, tears rolling in her eyes, even so, her face was still engraved with stubbornness and unyielding.
"Yumo! In this world, if you can eat a full meal, you will already enjoy Qingfu, you will follow. ”
After hearing this, Li Gongzi nodded again and again, "Since the two of you have no opinions, I will take that person away." ”
After that, Li Gongzi stepped forward and grabbed Chen Yumo's arm, and was about to drag her out, Chen Yumo was just about to resist, Gu Chongsheng walked forward and shook off Li Gongzi's hand.
"You dare to buy and sell people's girls in broad daylight, are you doing this too without royal law, I am looking to see who dares to do it!"
Li Gongzi looked Gu Chongsheng up and down, "Where did you come out, your tone is not small, talk to me about Wang Fa? ”
Gu Chongsheng was just about to go back, but the short and fat woman sneered again, "Li Gongzi, he's awesome, he's from District 3!"
"Yo! It's been a long time since you've been from District 3! What's the matter? Come to our District 5 to beg again? That's it, don't beg, as long as you kneel down and call me grandpa, grandpa, I'll reward you with a bowl of rice." ”
Gu Chongsheng clenched the fists in his hand, "You just said that whoever has food is the king, and whoever is the master, right?"
"That's what Lao Tzu said, what can you do to me?"
"Okay, then listen, I'll make 5 bags of rice, 5 bags of flour, and 5 catties of beef. ”
At this moment, there were more and more onlookers at the door, and as soon as Gu Chongsheng's words came out, the laughter echoed throughout the Chen family's courtyard.
"This stinky beggar brags and doesn't know how to make drafts. ”
"Yes, there are really everyone in this world, and the people from District 3 actually came to our District 5 to pretend to be forced! ”
This Li Gongzi laughed even more, "I said that you poor man is hungry and faint, don't you talk with brains, I won't say anything about 5 bags of rice and 5 bags of flour, 5 catties of beef, do you have cattle in District 3? Don't talk about cows, I'm afraid that cow has been eaten by you poor people." ”
Chen Yumo gently pulled Gu Chongsheng's sleeve, Gu Chongsheng turned his head sideways, and Chen Yumo behind him whispered, "I know you want to save me, I'm very grateful to you, but please have talked to your brain, you are so poor in District 3, how can you have the food you said." ”
"Believe me, I will definitely be able to do it!" Gu Chongsheng's eyes looked at Li Gongzi in front of him again, "Do you dare to bet with me?"
