Chapter 10: Terrible News

"How do you sell these?" Lin Xiaoquan found a middle-aged woman's stall and asked, pointing to the bamboo dustpan on the oiled paper.

"What do you have? You can exchange it for food or 'Bigu Pills'! The middle-aged woman saw a customer suddenly coming to the stall that had been unattended for a long time, and greeted her warmly.

"How do you change that?" Lin Xiaoquan squatted down, pretending to be very interested in the bamboo dustpans of different sizes and rounds.

"If you want all these dustpans, there are a total of 3 'Bigu Pills'!" Suddenly, the woman spoke.

"Sister... Not to mention whether I need so many dustpans, I can't exchange just these few non-essential items for the sky-high price of three 'Bigu Pills', right? Lin Xiaoquan frowned and said unhappily.

Then, she added: "Sister, I don't know if you just came to the base and don't know the market price here?" ”

"Hey-" The middle-aged woman hung her head in frustration, sighed, and said, "It's true that I'm a newcomer and don't know much about it, but I really can't help it, and I have to come out to sell some useless gadgets when I can't get by." ”

"What's wrong? Aren't you a man of great powers? Can you come to the base and find a job? Lin Xiaoquan pretended not to know the details and asked.

"I'm not one of you who has the ability," the woman waved her hand, and then said, "I'm from a nearby village, and I just came here." ”

"Do you have any friends or relatives who are ISPs in the base? You can ask him to help see if there is a suitable job. Lin Xiaoquan became more and more confused at this moment: Did he remember wrong? Now that ordinary people outside can enter the base at will?

"Uh-I don't have such good relatives and friends, our village was just hit by a disaster a few days ago, and the al-Qaeda organization was kind enough to take all our survivors in, and when it comes to expanding the scope of the base, let us live in, build houses and live in the base." The women looked grateful.

"Huh? What happened to the village? Generally, there are no special circumstances, and we don't leave our hometowns easily. Although, it's not far... But it's also troublesome, and I have to start all over again and rebuild the house. Lin Xiaoquan grew up in the countryside with his grandmother and understood the land complex of the villagers very well.

"No way, if there is a way, we will not give up. Our house is plagued by insects, and we are evil! The hordes of worms gnawed off and gnawed down the walls! The middle-aged woman recalled, looking like she had palpitations.

"Ahh This...... Are people alright? Lin Xiaoquan asked with concern.

"We cowards, we rolled up something early and left, and we were fine, but, heyβ€”we didn't expect the worm to be so terrible! We're just afraid that the house will collapse and be buried...", the woman fell into the memory and continued: "But some greedy ghosts who want money and want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune have all been eaten up by worms........."

"What do you mean... Divided ...... Eat... Finished? Lin Xiaoquan unconsciously stammered and asked.

"I heard from people who ran slowly and saw them in the back: those who wanted to fight insects and exchange insect corpses for things, some people who were reluctant to leave their valuable belongings, and even those who were stupid enough to ignore the swarms of insects and not take them seriously...... It's all ... The whole person was possessed by worms, and in this way, there were no bones left, and they disappeared. The woman said mechanically, stunned.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoquan had goosebumps all over her arms, and she remembered that she was at that time: If she hadn't attached a layer of spiritual power protection film to her body in advance, if she hadn't used her mental power to turn into a "spiritual thorn" to solve the locusts in a hurry, would her end have also become "There are no bones left, and they will disappear"?

The thought turned around, and Lin Xiaoquan asked urgently: "Sister, that... What happened to the bugs? Is your village around? Neighborhood? Will the swarm of worms follow? ”
