Chapter 5: Preparations Before the End (Part II)

It is a long sword without a scabbard.

Because the sword did not have a scabbard and did not have a blade, it was simply wrapped in a white cloth.

But it's also strange to say, this half-human-tall long sword, if it is made of ordinary steel, let alone a dry little old man, that is, a strong man may not be able to wield it freely, but now this one, not only Lou Lan can easily carry it from home, but even the old man Lu can wield it with a tiger and a tiger.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, it still remains so shiny and there is no rust at all. Let me tell you, I heard your mother say that this sword was picked up by your grandfather's grandfather from a cave, and your family was rich at that time, and your grandfather's grandfather was a cultural person, so he hung it in the study to admire, but I didn't expect that it could still maintain this luster after so many years. ”

"Grandpa Lu, how is it, can you open the front?" Lou Lan saw that the old man Lu had been looking at the sword, and couldn't help but ask.

Old man Lu didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Why did you little girl suddenly want to open it, you must know that since your grandmother's generation, this thing has never appeared in this pile of white cloth." ”

Lou Lan was silent, she couldn't directly say that the end was coming, so she had to use this sword to defend herself, Old Man Lu would definitely think that she was insane.

At this moment, she really hated the knife control system of country Z infinitely.

"I ...... I can't say ......" Lou Lan held back such a sentence for a long time.

Old man Lu glanced at her with slanted eyes, but he didn't ask more, only said, "2W." ”

"What...... What the? Lou Lan didn't react for a while.

"If you want to start, 20,000 yuan, no bargaining." Old man Lu didn't look at her, his eyes kept staring at the sword, and said.

Twenty thousand...... Lou Lan's current deposit is only 10W from Lou's father last night, and this time it has gone to one-fifth.

"Grandpa Lu, didn't you always don't collect money before, why did you ...... this time" The finances are tight, and Lou Lan can only be cheeky.

"Humph!" Old man Lu threw his hand into the pile of white cloth, sneered and said, "It used to be a friendship price, since you don't want to say it, then we will do things according to the original price." ”

Lou Lan was speechless, Old Man Lu had a strange temper for a day or two, but it was really not something that ordinary people could afford to smoke so from time to time.

But she couldn't really tell the real reason, and she couldn't lie to him, so in the end, Lou Lan could only compromise: "20,000 is 20,000, I'm sorry for Grandpa Lu." ”

"You! You dead girl. The old man Lu looked like he hated iron but not steel, his beard was about to rise up, and he said angrily: "Come to get the sword at five o'clock in the afternoon, now get out of here, get out of the way, I'm angry with the old man." ”

"Okay, don't be angry, I'll leave now." Lou Lan didn't dare to speak more, and went out with a mellow "roll".

Out of the door of the dilapidated blacksmith shop, Lou Lan couldn't help but sigh, if the old man Lu was a lonely old man, it would be okay to tell him about the coming of the apocalypse, but the old man Lu had sound children, a healthy family, and a happy life, even if Lou Lan said this, he would not necessarily believe it, and even if he did, he would definitely not be able to let go of that family.

"It seems that I can only wait until the time to get the sword and then remind Old Man Lu to be careful recently." Lou Lan has only one way to think about it, and it won't make a big difference if she thinks about it too much.

……

Looking at my watch, I had spent a lot of time in the blacksmith's shop, and it was almost 11 o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky was still gray, and it looked like the sky was at 7 o'clock in the morning in winter.

It's so abnormal that I didn't even notice this in my previous life.

Lou Lan sighed at her stupidity again, then put the bicycle at the door of the blacksmith shop, and went to a small roadside restaurant to solve it first, filling her stomach.

After eating, she went to the nearest bank by car non-stop, and directly withdrew 20,000 yuan and put it in her hiking bag.

The money was given to the old man Lu, who had a strange personality, and in this era of swiping cards for payment, he still insisted on cash settlement.

Lou Lan carefully carried her hiking bag on her chest, and then drove to the largest commercial street in the city. When she arrived at the commercial street, she didn't even look at the colorful clothes and accessories, and went straight to a supermarket.

Entering the door, Lou Lan directly found a shopping guide to inquire if there were any camping items such as compressed biscuits.

"Compressed biscuits are available, and we also have outdoor items like hiking boots." The shopping guide is a little girl, it looks like she should have just graduated, wearing the clothes of the shopping guide, with a baby face, and two dimples on her face when she laughs.

"I'm sorry for you." This supermarket is still very big, and someone can really save a lot of things by leading the way, so Lou Lan thanked her first.

The little girl smiled shyly at Lou Lan, and asked while leading the way: "Seeing that you are carrying a mountaineering bag, you are still a student, why are you in such a hurry to buy camping items, are you going out on an outing with your classmates?" ”

"Yes, I'm about to graduate from college, so I'm going to go on a trip with my classmates before graduation." Lou Lan explained.

In fact, this passage is completely made up by Lou Lan, she is actually only a sophomore this year, where did she come from to graduate soon, but she just followed this little girl's words to find an excuse for herself to buy a large number of compressed biscuits and other field supplies later.

But the little shopping guide didn't know that she was making it up, and agreed with a look of recollection: "Yes, when I graduated from college, I used to hang out with my classmates." ”

Lou Lan was full of worries, so she could only smile and echo her.

The little shopping guide saw that Lou Lan didn't want to say much, but when she was shy, she didn't say anything anymore, but just recommended some camping items to Lou Lan while walking.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually an outdoor camper. It is best to choose a backpack of 50-80 liters, the waist belt should be thick, the shoulder straps should be padded and adjustable, and it is best to have a backpack rain cover. Tent, you are relatively thin, it is enough to buy a light Jiangnan with a single-layer tent. In the case of sleeping bags, hollow cotton mummy sleeping bags (5°C-20°C) are about the same for this kind of weather. If you want a moisture-proof mat, you can choose a lightweight one. There are also water bottles, rain gear, flashlights, outdoor shoes, binoculars, etc., which can be appropriately selected according to your own requirements......"

The little shopping guide girl gushed about the introduction, talking as she walked, and she didn't stop until she reached the outdoor equipment area. But Lou Lan actually had a purchase plan in her heart, so what she said was actually in vain.

In the end, Lou Lan only bought four boxes of compressed biscuits and some self-heating food, and then chose a backpack, sleeping bag, plus a few wolf-eye flashlights and binoculars and did not buy any more.

Because just a few things went, it almost took about 10,000 less, but this is also inevitably related to Lou Lan's selection of the best in everything.

And the things were selected for an hour, and the time was already two o'clock in the afternoon, Lou Lan hurriedly went to choose a few boxes of high-end cat food and mineral water, and after consigning all the things, she said goodbye to the little girl who was shopping guide, and hurried to the last place on the plan.
