Chapter 58: The Boy and the Food
Against the crowd of runners, Zhou Yukun finally reluctantly squeezed out of it, and seeing that the surroundings were finally empty, he couldn't help but let out a sigh: "I finally know that no matter how powerful the Star Selector is, it is estimated that he can be surrounded to death by these ordinary people." ”
Yes, Zhou Yukun is telling the truth. Just now he almost felt that he was going to be trampled to death by this group of crazy people, if it weren't for his body being much stronger than ordinary people, it is estimated that he would have spit blood and lay on the ground by now.
At this moment, Zhou Yukun suddenly found that from a dark corner, a little boy with a yellow face and thin muscles slowly walked out. Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to run as fast as that group of people, but he can't run at all, judging from his limping walking movements, Zhou Yukun knows that this boy's leg is lame.
Looking at the dirty face of this boy, although life is extremely hard, there is no trace of submission in his eyes, but he stubbornly keeps moving forward, and he also has a small cloth bag in his hand, but there is a small hole in the cloth bag.
For some reason, Zhou Yukun suddenly found that this boy was very similar to himself, when he was in Wenqu City, although he had no money and no ID card, he didn't give up, he would rather be hungry, and he didn't want to ask for money to live like a beggar. If you say it well, this is the dignity of being a human being, and if you don't say it well, it means that you have to die to save face and suffer sin.
The ghost sent the gods, Zhou Yukun actually ran directly to the boy's side, and asked seriously: "Little brother, I am a foreigner who just arrived here, and I saw many people running over there before, I don't know what happened?" ”
The lame boy glanced at him lightly and replied in a low voice, "Lord Taishou opened a warehouse to distribute grain today, and everyone went to grab grain." ”
"Oh, I see." Zhou Yukun nodded suddenly, in this way, he can understand, no wonder these people are so crazy! "However, even if it is food, everyone doesn't need to be in such a hurry, isn't it everyone's got it?"
The boy stubbornly moved forward and replied, "Of course not, Lord Taishou said that there is not much surplus food in the warehouse, so only a part of it is distributed each time, and those who go first will take it first, and those who go late will take it first...... Hum. ”
He didn't say the rest of the words, but Zhou Yukun could guess that of course there were no more people who arrived late, and he could also think that according to this, this lame boy must have never gotten food. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart, and he could understand how this boy was feeling now.
So, under the surprised gaze of the lame boy, Zhou Yukun directly picked him up on his back and ran forward quickly. Seeing this scene, the boy was not only not happy, but struggled with anger: "What are you doing? Put me down! ”
Zhou Yukun said without looking back: "Don't do anything, isn't this a hurry up to get food?" ”
The boy snorted angrily: "Are you looking down on me? I can walk over by myself, I don't need you to help me, let me go! ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yukun showed a strange smile, this boy is really similar to himself, because if he changes his perspective and makes him this lame boy, he would rather starve to death than let strangers help. "Please, I'm not here to help you, it's just a collaboration between us."
"Cooperation? What are you talking about? ”
Zhou Yukun gently shook his empty left hand: "You see, although I run fast, I don't bring anything, and although you run slowly, you have a cloth bag." So, if the two of us work together, we can get food together, do you think I'm helping you? ”
The boy was slightly stunned, and at first glance he found that what Zhou Yukun said did make some sense, he was not completely helping himself, it was just a cooperation to help each other. Thinking about it like this, he relaxed a lot in his heart, and after muttering "oh", he stopped talking, obviously acquiescing to Zhou Yukun's statement.
Zhou Yukun smiled proudly, it seems that the more similar people are, the more they understand each other. After the boy's affirmation, he no longer hesitated, and sprinted sharply, heading towards the large army in front of him.
It didn't take long for him to come to the back of these crowds, and found that it had been crowded into a pile because of the large number of people, but it was getting slower and slower, the people in front couldn't walk, and the people behind had to squeeze forward.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yukun felt inexplicably funny, this is too similar to the traffic jam in real life, and even surpassed. Therefore, with sufficient experience, he will definitely not choose to go head-to-head with these people, but should go around in a big circle to cut the line to the front.
The boy looked at the crowd with some shock and asked anxiously, "There are so many people, how can we get there?" ”
"Huh? Aren't there many people before, how come it seems like you've never seen them before? ”
Hearing this, the boy lowered his head in a slightly depressed manner: "When I came here before, there was no one here for a long time, and even the place where the food was distributed was empty. ”
The corners of Zhou Yukun's mouth twitched, and he suddenly had an urge to slap his face, it was really a pot that he didn't open and mention, thinking about it, he knew that this boy was walking slowly, and he would definitely not see this situation! Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more dull, Zhou Yukun hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, is there any other road besides this road in that place where food is distributed?" ”
"Hmm...... It seems that there is, but it's just a small road, and you have to go around a big circle to get there. ”
Zhou Yukun's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed: "I'm just looking for such a road, take me over quickly, and you must get there before these people." ”
After that, under the guidance of the boy, Zhou Yukun went headlong into a zigzag alley. Fortunately, there is such a local as the boy, otherwise Zhou Yukun would have to faint here if he was allowed to bury his head and run around.
After running rapidly for more than five minutes, they were finally about to reach the exit of the alley, but before the little boy could show an excited smile, he suddenly noticed four strong men standing at the corner of the alley, all of whom were holding a wooden stick tightly in their hands, looking at Zhou Yukun and the two with a cruel smile.
That's right, these people are a profession that is not lacking anywhere - street bullies. (Purple: Ahem, mind you, it's not the famous Street Fighter game.) )
Seeing the appearance of these four people, the little boy couldn't help but get nervous, thinking that he would finally get food today, but he didn't want to run into these bullies again. Not to mention receiving food now, I guess I will be thankful that I can escape safely.
Of course, compared to the boy's nervousness and fear, Zhou Yukun was much calmer, and he smiled very happily. To be honest, I didn't expect that there were some smart guys among the ancient people, and they could still find shortcuts to this path and use them to block the road and rob them. However, Zhou Yukun was even more smug than they laughed, because his gaze had already rested on the cloth bag in the hands of these four people.
Hehe, you can come to whatever you want, how do you know that I lack some intact cloth bags? Thinking so, Zhou Yukun gently put the boy on the ground, and after giving him a reassuring look, he turned around and walked straight to the four guys.
As for their outcome, I think there should be no suspense......
