Because of the robbers and the sudden fall into a coma, Ren Xiaosu returned relatively late, and he glanced at the sky that was about to be shrouded in darkness, and it was extremely dangerous to pass through the market town with the prey at this time.

During the day, there are people from the refuge fortress who come out to rule the order, and at night those people return to the fortress.

Of course, the people in the refuge barrier were not well-intentioned, but they were worried that the market town would be too chaotic and would affect the work of the displaced people.

"Yo, Ren Xiaosu has gained a lot today!"

When Ren Xiaosu ran into the market town with an iron pot, someone greeted him, and the person's face was black, as if he had never washed his face since he was born.

Many people in the market towns do this, and on weekdays, in exchange for food, they go to the nearby coal mines to dig coal, which is transported into the refuge barriers, and then the workers can get just enough black bread or potatoes to survive.

Not only digging coal, but also the dirty work required in the barrier will be done by people outside the barrier.

The well water in the market town is quota, and no one wants to fight more than that every day. There is no clean water nearby, or clean water is too dangerous, and wild beasts gather to drink. Therefore, the people in the entire market town are dirty and can't see clearly, and Ren Xiaosu is no exception.

It's just that Ren Xiaosu never digs coal, he has his own way of survival.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu didn't respond when he saw someone saying hello, he just wanted to quickly return to his shack.

Just when Ren Xiaosu passed by the market town road, he was not far away from the towering fortress wall, and when he looked up, he was full of depression as if he couldn't see the end of the sky.

There aren't many mud and stone buildings in the market town, more shack-like dwellings.

Ren Xiaosu, who was originally quite relaxed, suddenly became vigilant after entering the market town, and he even pulled out a bone knife from his waist. The atmosphere on the street became solemn, as if there was some danger hidden in those shacks, but when Ren Xiaosu pulled out the bone knife, those who were about to move calmed down again.

The first thing Ren Xiaosu learned when he lived here was not to trust anyone...... Except for Yan Liuyuan.

There was a whisper from the shack on the side of the road: "Ren Xiaosu actually caught the prey again." ”

"What kind of prey is that, sparrow. ”

"It's not like the sparrows in old textbooks, I guess the eagle was that big before the cataclysm, right?"

"Don't mess with him," a voice ended the whisper, as if someone knew Ren Xiaosu's past.

Ren Xiaosu opened the curtain of his house, and the warmth inside made his body seem to be no longer so stiff.

Yan Liuyuan, who was sitting in the shack doing his homework, looked up and saw Ren Xiaosu coming back, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Did you hit a sparrow?"

"Why don't you light a kerosene lamp?" Ren Xiaosu asked with a frown.

Yan Liuyuan is actually not usually well-behaved, at least not in front of people other than Ren Xiaosu, but when facing Ren Xiaosu, the "elder brother", he will always be unexpectedly meek: "I want to save some kerosene for my family." ”

"What if I'm short-sighted?" Ren Xiaosu put the sparrow down.

Yan Liuyuan's eyes lit up and said: "The gentleman of the academy said that there was such a thing as glasses before the catastrophe, and he also said that there are actually such things now, but in the refuge barrier, even if you are short-sighted with this thing, you are not afraid." ”

Ren Xiaosu was dismissive of this statement: "I've seen the thing that someone brought you to say, but entrusting your vision to an object that may fall at any time in this wilderness is tantamount to death." Don't listen to your husband's nonsense, some of your husband's words are not necessarily right. ”

"Ao ......" Yan Liuyuan nodded: "Then you still send me to the academy?"

Ren Xiaosu choked for a moment: "What so much nonsense." ”

"When will I be able to hunt with you?" Yan Liuyuan asked.

"What are you learning to hunt when you're only 14 years old? If you go to the academy and learn well, you don't need to hunt," Ren Xiaosu said: "Learn how to settle accounts, learn physics and chemistry or something, isn't it better than hunting when the time comes?"

"You're only 17 years old," Yan Liuyuan was unconvinced.

In this day and age, even the most savage people know the importance of knowledge.

This is also the reason why Mr. Teaching can survive in the market town, no matter what chaos happens in the market town, Mr. Teaching is always the safest one, and no one will bother Mr. Teach's idea.

It's just that the tuition fee is expensive, otherwise Ren Xiaosu would like to listen to it himself.

Ren Xiaosu skillfully dissected the sparrow while propping up the iron pot: "What did Mr. say today? This sparrow can only give you some offal, and the rest will be sold tomorrow." ”

"Are you injured?" Yan Liuyuan frowned when he saw the wound on Ren Xiaosuhu's mouth, which was pecked out by a sparrow, and the blood flowed nonstop.

The big iron pot was on the stick, and the fire pit in the shack set Ren Xiaosu's cheeks flickering: "Small injury." ”

The room fell silent, and after a while, Ren Xiaosu took out the sparrow offal in the pot and handed it to Yan Liuyuan: "Eat it." ”

Yan Liuyuan's eyes suddenly turned red: "I don't eat, you eat, you need to heal your injuries." ”

"I'll just drink some soup," Ren Xiaosu said, "I still have brown bread here." ”

"I don't eat it, you're not a small injury at all, I saw someone in the market town die of inflammation and infection because of a little wound a few days ago, we don't have medicine here," Yan Liuyuan said stubbornly, tears were about to fall.

Syllable.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly slapped Yan Liuyuan in the face and said, "You remember, you and I can't shed tears if we live in this world, this world doesn't believe in tears." ”

Ren Xiaosu continued: "Look at what kind of people are around us, what if you don't eat enough, someone rushes in at night and stabs me to death? I let you go to the academy, I just don't want you to go hunting like me, you have special abilities, as long as you study hard, you don't have to get up early and go to the wilderness to beg for a living like me." I let you go to the academy because I don't want you to be as savage as them!"

Yan Liuyuan suddenly took the sparrow entrails handed over by Ren Xiaosu and devoured them, the tears did not fall after all, he had to learn to be as strong as Ren Xiaosu.

"Ahem, bring a clean cloth to bandage my wound after eating," Ren Xiaosu said.

"Oh," Yan Liuyuan agreed.

"Usually it's weird outside, how can I go back home and be like a little angry bag," Ren Xiaosu sighed: "Nothing happened in the market town today." ”

"That's right," Yan Liuyuan said as he looked for a clean cloth, "A team of people came out of the refuge barrier, saying that they wanted to find a guide who could lead the way to the No. 112 refuge barrier, and they wanted to go directly through the Jing Mountain. ”

"Go to the No. 112 refuge barrier?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment and frowned: "Do you still have to go to the mountains?"

"Do you think they will look for you, everyone in the market town knows that you are familiar with the outside," Yan Liuyuan said with a wink, "I heard that they are the band and singer in the No. 113 Refuge Barrier, and they were invited to perform at the No. 112 Refuge Barrier, and I haven't seen the singer yet." ”

"I'm not going," Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "In that area of Jingshan, whoever likes to go will go." You avoid them point, this group of people has weirdness. ”

At this time, Ren Xiaosu's mood was a little complicated, what kind of world is this, there are still people who specialize in singing, and there is a band? What is it like in the refuge barrier.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly yearned for a little.
