Chapter 282
After encountering this episode, Ye Ziyu and the others were a lot more cautious when entering some small base villages, although they were not afraid of being targeted again, after all, people who could be robbers would not have too strong ability, but after all, it was still very energy-consuming.
However, Ye Baishuang does not think so.
"Sister Ye, no one has come to rob recently, it feels so boring!"
Ye Ziyu glanced at him, "Is it fun to be robbed?" ”
"Well, it's so-so. But didn't you get the blue silk cobwebs and tracker rats from those seven fools last time! If someone comes to rob us, maybe we'll get something else weird. Ye Baishuang said and his eyes lit up.
It turned out that because of this, the leaf jade black line.
Speaking of tracking the mouse, Ye Ziyu threw it into the space and fed a crystal nucleus to restore its vitality. But it doesn't seem to have any effect.
The little gray squirrel seemed to be in good spirits, but it was lazy, and it stayed in the cardboard box prepared for it all day long, and did not move.
Ye Ziyu didn't ask those people how they let the tracking rat track the target for them, although even if she mastered the method now, it would be useless, but it could be used in case of emergency! In case it is suddenly needed, and this mouse is still a mouse, then what kind of energy does she have, after all, the thought of raising a fat mouse in the space is always not so happy.
But it's strange to say, there are still so many chickens in the space, the mouse is not excited at all when he sees these chickens, according to what Ye Ziyu has learned, even if it is a different animal, the primitive nature is still retained.
Ye Ziyu told Liang Tian his thoughts, and Liang Tian replied after a while: "Isn't this good?" Do you have to let this mouse run around in the space chasing a flock of chickens to feel at ease? ”
But in fact, what comforted Ye Ziyu the most was the blue silk cobweb he got.
They were almost killed by the blue silk spider before, and although they were rescued later, in fact, she has always been obsessed with the spider silk spit out by the blue silk spider. It's just that Bai Haocheng never mentioned it, and she was embarrassed to ask, let alone ask for it.
Now that she accidentally got this blue silk web, she has to think about how to use it.
It's just that I don't know how many orders of blue silk spider silk spider silk
The highest level of those people is that big man, and there is only a second order, and it seems that the original owner of this spider silk will not exceed two orders at most. Although the level is a little lower. Fortunately, this spider silk is also constantly slashed, and the toughness is good, and even the light blade transformed by the gold ability can't help it, and the only nemesis is the fire ability. It's simply the best material to make your own weapons.
She told Liang Tian about her idea of wanting to have a pair of gloves as a weapon, and Liang Tian was silent for a long time before lowering his head and saying, "I'm afraid I can't help you with this." ”
"Why?" Ye Ziyu was a little surprised, it stands to reason that Liang Tian was interested in making weapons, and he had always wanted to help him create a suitable weapon. Now that you have the idea and the material, how can you reject yourself?
"If you use iron, steel, or whatever, it's easy to say. But you're going to make gloves out of spider silk, this, ahem, I'm not very good at knitting......"
Ye Ziyu suddenly realized that Liang Tian was also a man, and it was indeed a little difficult for him to let him knit a pair of gloves for himself. So he smiled embarrassedly: "Haha, I understand, then I'll figure it out myself, but there will be follow-up processing after the gloves are done, and I need your help." ”
"Of course that's fine!"
So the problem now is that Ye Ziyu Dai Meitong and Yan Miao, three girls of the same age, no one can knit, this is normal, women in this era don't talk about them, even few people in their parents' generation can knit gloves by hand. Unless it's those who make a living by hand-knitting.
So when he encountered a base shelter, Ye Ziyu would also inquire if anyone had worked as a tailor while paying attention to their bazaar. At this time, she remembered Zhao Yi from the Gaotu base, if it was him, she would definitely be able to find someone soon. Aren't those fur coats made by someone he found?
Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that she didn't have to pay so much attention to who could knit, she just needed to arrive at the Shaoyang base quickly.
The official base established by the government is large, and there are many people who defect, and it is easy to find someone who can knit gloves. Just find the most well-informed vendors in the base.
There is another point, which is also the reason why she wants to rush to the Shaoyang base as soon as possible, that is, the Shaoyang base is the closest official base to her hometown.
If she's lucky, she hopes to find her mother there. However, judging from the current situation of so many small private bases, her mother is more likely to survive in a certain private base.
She worries at the thought that her mother will have to be like the elderly women she has seen along the way, serving young people with abilities or mutated constitutions, and working at a young age.
"Let's hurry up." Ye Ziyu has been urging everyone to speed up from time to time recently.
Everyone also understands that she is about to enter the north, and the closer she is to the Shaoyang base, the more nervous she becomes.
The northern part belongs to the central region, so it is also a plain region. However, there is a small mountainous area between the north and the center, which has become a natural boundary, which is why the north is taken out separately.
Their current location is a short stop at the base of a small village in front of the mountains.
I heard the people in the village say that this mountain area is not big, but it is not easy to climb, not to mention that the mountains here are both high and steep, the most important thing is that the level of mutant beasts in the mountains is very high, and the people under the mountain did not understand before, there are many young abilities and mutants who want to fight more mutant beasts to obtain crystal nuclei and join forces to enter the mountain, but no one has ever come back as soon as they go.
Of course, there are people who have escaped, but they have also taken half their lives.
Ye Ziyu and the place where they settled was an old woman's house, the old woman was one of the only remaining people in this village, I heard that they were going to go over the mountain to the Shaoyang base, and tried every means to persuade them, but in the end, they could only pray silently for them.
The old woman's first-hand cooking, especially the strange taste of mutant beast meat, is tender and delicious, because of this craft, life is better than other ordinary people, but it is only compared with those poor ordinary people. The old woman would go to the homes of the aliens and mutants in the village during the day to cook for them, and at night she would come back with some hides to sew clothes.
Ye Ziyu saw that the old woman actually knew how to make clothes. Very excited, he immediately took out his blue silk cobwebs and begged the old woman to weave a pair of gloves for herself.
The old lady took it with a smile, and her hoarse voice reminded Ye Ziyu of her grandmother, who had passed away a long time ago.
"Few people nowadays know how to make their own yarn. Not even my daughter, every time I asked her to come to school, she found all kinds of excuses to prevaricate. ”
"Huh? Grandma is not alone, why don't you see your daughter? Ye Baishuang asked curiously with a wink.
Ye Ziyu hurriedly pulled Ye Baishuang's sleeve.
The old woman sighed: "Alas, no. It's all gone. Half of the people in the village became monsters, and my aunt also became a monster, and my daughter went with my aunt to protect me, an old woman. ”
"Grandma, don't be surprised, this kid is not sensible, it makes you sad."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm old, I like it when I see a child, this child looks good. Especially these eyes, they are not as bright as boys, but their complexion is too white, and their bodies are too thin. It's no wonder that in this world, it's not easy not to go hungry. Grandma has nothing to entertain here, otherwise she will help you make up for yourself. The old woman kindly stretched out her hand to touch Ye Baishuang's head.
Ye Baishuang usually hates others touching his head the most, because he is always teased by Wang Yuyi for not being tall. However, there was no dodging of the old lady's large, calloused hands.
"Grandma, when will you be able to knit your gloves?" Ye Ziyu asked, it was related to how long they would stay here.
"If I didn't have to work during the day, old woman, I could do it in two days. Although your gloves are different from ordinary gloves, the time is about the same, but I still have to work during the day, and I only have time at night. My eyes are not good at night. I'm afraid it will take four or five days to complete. ”
"Grandma is not in a hurry, weave slowly, we are not in a hurry to leave, and I am afraid that we will have to bother your house for a while!" Wang Yuyi answered.
Ye Ziyu looked at him in surprise and asked, "Do you have something?" ”
Wang Yuyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly.
Ye Ziyu was a little nervous. Somewhat uncertain, he asked, "Isn't it going to advance?" ”
"Ahh As my apprentice, I have learned more and more about Master, and yes, I feel like there are signs of a breakthrough recently. ”
"That's a good thing! Okay, we'll be on our way when you're advanced, which will be more secure. ”
On the one hand, he accidentally found an old man who could knit gloves, and on the other hand, Wang Congyi, who was a second-order power-type mutant, was about to enter the third-order stage, which could be regarded as a happy event, so Ye Ziyu decided to celebrate a little.
"Grandma, we know that your skills are good, but my little friend Ye Baishuang, don't look at his young age, but we cook the best here." Ye Ziyu pushed Ye Baishuang towards the old woman.
"It's the best place to cook, and it's clear that none of you know how to cook!" Ye Baishuang raised his chin and hummed disdainfully.
The old woman liked him even more.
"Oops! I really can't see that I can cook at such a young age, what a good job! Tell grandma what you can cook? ”
Ye Baishuang tilted his head and thought about it, except for the name of the one he cooked with the aunt who took care of him, the rest of the dishes were made casually along the way, and later it was simply Ye Ziyu who served the dishes, and he was only responsible for burning them, where else was the name, so the corners of his mouth curled, and he said proudly: "No, no!" ”
The old woman took his hand and patted it as if the child was talking.
"Let him show you his hand tomorrow, and it will be regarded as the cost of food and lodging for us to live in your house for the past few days." Ye Ziyu said.
"Oh, what a room and board fee! Old woman, I don't have anything to do here, and this broken house can still be lived, even if you live there, you are all good children! It's a pity that he wasn't born in a good time, alas! ”
The old woman actually had two houses, one next to the old house, but now it had a new owner. It turned out to be the house of her daughter and her aunt, and when the two were gone, the old woman looked at the empty house and was sad, so she simply took it out and exchanged some food for the people who had come to take refuge.
The old house has only two rooms and a kitchen. Like most farmers, the two rooms are facing each other, separated by a narrow corridor that only allows one person to pass, and at the end of the corridor is a kitchen with two boiling pits.
The large iron pot on the pit has accumulated a thick layer of dust, and it looks like it has not been used for a long time.
"There are so many of you, it's not convenient for men and women to live in one room, if you little girls don't dislike me, an old woman who sleeps and snores at night, just live with my wife."
"How can you dislike it, this is much better than living outside in the wilderness!" Yan Miao immediately said.
Dai Meitong also nodded slightly.
It is already rare for someone to let these strangers of unknown origin live in the house, what else is there to pick, but Ye Ziyu heard the old woman say that she would snore when she sleeps at night, and she immediately became embarrassed, but Yan Miao had already said that, and she couldn't say anything more, so she could only wave goodbye to Wang Yuyi and Ye Baishuang.
The old woman led Wang Congyi and Ye Baishuang to the opposite room, and said as she walked: "Because I sleep alone in this house, there are not many bedding, there are girls over there, you two are young men, just pay more attention to it, is it okay to use a futon?" ”
Although Wang Congyi usually shows a very selfish appearance, in front of such a kind old man, he actually restrained his temperament, smiled and nodded: "Of course, this is how it should be." ”
Ye Baishuang showed a disgusted expression, looked up at Wang Congyi and frowned, "I don't want to cover a quilt with you." ”
The old woman was a little embarrassed when she heard this.
Wang Yuyi helped the old woman to get on the cold clay kang and comforted: "Grandma, you don't have to worry about it, just go back to sleep, I have my own way to treat this guy." ”
"What are you going to do!?" Ye Baishuang was about to sit down, but when he heard Wang Yuyi's words, he suddenly jumped to the ground, holding his hands on his chest like a frightened deer.
"Hmph, you'll find out later." Wang Congyi said in a weird way.
Grandma smiled and interrupted beside her: "Don't fight!" Wife, my house can't stand the toss of the two of you. (To be continued.) )
