2014 What happened to Lin Kai

"Uncle Wu, he's awake!" In a cave near the surface of the passage in the East Third District, Lin Kai lay on the ground covered with a small piece of cloth, watching a child with a bare buttocks, dirty legs and feet jumping out.

Then he saw the bare-bottomed kid running in with a middle-aged man's fingers.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a rough cloth coat, a bit like a scholar in ancient times, but the clothes were too shabby, and the cuffs and placket were worn yellow and black, so he looked down.

He walked over and saw Lin Kai looking at him with his eyes open and stunned, nodded and said, "Eat something when you wake up, I have checked your body and found no external injuries, see if there is anything uncomfortable yourself." ”

Lin Kai asked, "Where am I?" ”

The middle-aged man sat down at the entrance of the cave, dragged a stove and looked inside, and after hearing the question, he replied, "This is my house, do you eat noodles?" He picked up the iron fork next to the stove and fiddled with it, and a few tiny sparks jumped out, and he thought about it and threw a few lumps of coal into it.

"Noodles to eat? Great, bring me a bowl, a big bowl! Lin Kai's eyes lit up when he heard the noodles, and he sat up instantly, but he was dizzy and tilted to the side, so frightened that he hurriedly supported his body with his hands.

"I don't know what's wrong with you, but it's better not to be too excited when you wake up." The middle-aged man put a pot on the stove, picked up a bucket from the wall, shook it and looked inside, poured some water into the pot, and finally put a board on the pot and began to boil water.

Shaking his head slightly, there was still a buzzing sound in his ears, and his head was dizzy, Wang Xiangnan's head was hit with a lot of force, Lin Kai felt that if he went to the hospital for examination at this moment, it should not be difficult to conclude a slight concussion, he raised his hand and gently rubbed his head, and asked, "What about my friends?" Where did they go? ”

"Friends?" The middle-aged man touched the bare-ass child who was squatting aside with a bowl and staring at the pot drooling, turned around and said: "Before the mutant beast came, everyone ran in a mess, and I didn't pay attention, and when I knew that the mutant beast had retreated, I came back, and I saw you lying on the ground on the road, still alive when you felt angry, and shouted a few times but no one cared, so I brought you back, didn't see the friend you said?" ”

"Huh? What is a mutant beast? Lin Kai asked inexplicably.

"What?" The middle-aged man also looked at him inexplicably: "Mutant beast... You don't know? ”

Lin Kai was a little short-circuited: "Huh? Oh oh, that... I'm from out of town, and I'm not very familiar with this place, ha, hahaha... ”

"The whole world is occupied by mutant beasts, where are you from not knowing?" The middle-aged man looked at him suspiciously, and his expression began to become guarded: "Who are you?" ”

"Ha, hahaha... Lin Kai smiled awkwardly: "I'm that... Hahaha, I am... Guess what? ”

"I guess??" The middle-aged man just wanted to go crazy, but suddenly stopped, rolled his eyes, as if he thought of something, and suddenly realized: "Oh I know, you, well, I understand." ”

Lin Kai looked at the middle-aged man's expression that suddenly became pitiful, his face was a little stiff, and he asked puzzledly, "What do you know?" What do you understand? Tell me, I don't understand yet! ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Kai sympathetically, sighed softly, and said, "I used to be a person who could enter the gathering place, and I also know some things, compared to you, I am much happier." ”

"A gathering place?" When Lin Kai heard this word, he immediately thought of his task, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Are you talking about a gathering place?" Where and how to get in? ”

"I don't even know where to gather." The middle-aged uncle looked at Lin Kai more sympathetically and sighed.

"Uncle, are you misunderstanding me?" Lin Kai couldn't laugh or cry.

The water was boiling, the middle-aged man did not continue to speak, glanced at Lin Kai sympathetically again, sighed softly again and turned to take care of the pot.

Lin Kai: "... ”

Bored, he looked around the cave, not much bigger than the one he had teleported into, with a thin cloth under him, a dilapidated chest and some miscellaneous items piled up at his feet, and not even a decent piece of furniture in the place called "home".

'How dare you say you're happier than me?' Where is the happiness? Lin Kai's heart was in turmoil.

The biggest difference between him and Li He is that if you can't figure it out, don't think about it, and the speed of attention transfer is the first in the universe!

For example, at the beginning, he wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of several other people from the middle-aged man, and after learning that the other party didn't see it, his attention instantly shifted to the mutant beast, because when the mutant beast came, he had been slapped into a brain-dead state, so he didn't have a chance to see it, and he was very curious when he heard this new term, but before he could figure out what a mutant beast was, his attention shifted again, and he ran all the way from the gathering place to the end, and began to struggle with the philosophical and profound question of "happiness".

Drifting four times at a time, this magical skill is not something that ordinary people can learn.

After a while, the middle-aged uncle handed over a bowl of steaming soup, looked at him sympathetically, sighed softly again and said, "Eat." ”

Lin Kai was full of black lines with sighs, and lowered his head to eat first as a respect, but when he saw the food in the bowl, the long black line on his head was about to fall into the bowl.

He held the bowl, pointed to a lump of dough-like objects inside, and asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle, what is this?" ”

It is estimated that the capacity of the pot is limited, the middle-aged man cooked separately, gave Lin Kai the largest portion, and shared the remaining small portion with his bare buttocks, at this moment he was probing his brain to put the remaining dough in the pot, and when he heard the question, he checked the dough in his hand and said, "This is noodles." ”

Then stretch the dough: "Pull into strips." ”

Finally, he threw it into the pot, pointed to the strip dough floating in the water, and solemnly introduced, "Noodles." ”

Lin Kai was convinced, lowered his head and ate noodles.

No, eat noodles!

No, eat dough!

No, eat noodles!

When he bit into it, the appearance was mushy, but the inside was still raw, and Lin Kai burst into tears when he ate it.

"It's so pitiful, I've never eaten such delicious food, right?" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Kai sympathetically, sighed softly and said, "Don't cry, cheer up, men should be strong!" ”

Maybe it's not long after entering the mission, plus I've been unconscious and haven't consumed much stomach and haven't felt hungry; Or maybe this kind of insulting food is really hard to swallow, Lin Kai took advantage of the middle-aged man's inattention to secretly pour the remaining dough in his bowl into the bowl of the bare-ass child who had been drooling and looking at him.

The little kid lowered his head and ate the pig's cry, Lin Kai pinched the child's buttocks with a smile, his hands were sticky and he didn't know what it was, he wiped his hands with the cloth on the ground, got up and squatted next to the middle-aged man to watch him fiddle with the stove.

It should have been burned twice in a row, and the coal in the stove couldn't bear it, and the middle-aged man was reluctant to add new coal to it, so he stirred it repeatedly with a small iron fork, and hurriedly put the pot on the rack while he was a little hot, and didn't add water, so he threw the dough into the soup base left over before, and then waited contentedly.

From a certain detail, you can see the simple quality of the middle-aged uncle, the pot is very small, only enough to cook one food at a time, he first cooked it for a guest like Lin Kai and a patient and a poor person in his eyes, and the second time it was cooked for the young child, and finally himself.

Lin Kai picked up a piece of coal from the cloth bag on the side and looked at it, and said curiously: "It's not charcoal, it's not easy to burn coal, right?" How not to use honeycomb coal? ”

"Where are the bees... The middle-aged uncle just wanted to complain, glanced at Lin Kai, and sighed: "Forget it, let's teach my son." ”

Oh, you old thing, how do you scold people when you talk well? Lin Kai's forehead was bulging.

The uncle sighed, looked at Lin Kai sympathetically, and patiently explained word by word: "Human beings have reached this point, how many technologies have been broken, it's not that no one understands, it's just that no one wants to do it, it's not difficult to make honeycomb coal, but it also needs equipment and various additives, even if someone is willing to do it, it needs cost, right?" You have to sell it for money, right? Sell to whom? Only the poor burn coal here, and the rich go to the gathering place to use electricity, so sell it to the poor? There are too few people alive, and people like us who live at the mouth of the passage may be bitten to death by the mutant beast that rushed in at some point, where do we have the heart to spend money to buy honeycomb coal like we really live? With that money, I might as well buy more food to fill my stomach. Like this kind of loose charcoal, no one wants it, and those people pull it over in piles, and they can save a little ration and replace it with a bag. ”

"This year." The uncle still looked at Lin Kai sympathetically, sighed and said, "It's good to be alive." ”

"It's not like you just say it, what are you doing when you keep looking at me and sighing?" Lin Kai went crazy.

The middle-aged man was puzzled: "What? ”

"Ha, hahaha... Lin Kai smiled and diverted the topic: "You said that the rich people have entered the gathering place, how can this gathering place enter?" How much does it cost to get in? ”

"You don't know that... The middle-aged man sympathized and sighed: "Forget it, teach your son... Lin Kai was agitated.

"In the gathering place, let's not talk about other expenses, the cheapest accommodation is charged one bullet a day, and if you can't hand over the bullet, you will be kicked out of the door by the guards."

"Wait, you just said bullets?" Lin Kai interrupted.

The middle-aged man was stunned, his mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he still sympathized and sighed for a long time and said, "Forget it, when... ”

"Click."

Lin Kai pinched the coal in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me hear the word son again." ”

The middle-aged man was not surprised by Lin Kai's huge strength at all, but looked at the slag in Lin Kai's hand with distressed eyes: "Yes, it is the bullet of the old-fashioned powder gun, which can be regarded as a relatively common currency in the current gathering place, and the disasters are continuous, and you may have to flee for your life when you are fighting, and when you fight with a mutant beast, how much gold and silver treasure is not as good as a bullet, so more people like bullets, no matter what type of bullet you can, and adjust the exchange rate between bullets according to the rarity." ”

"Poof! Hahaha... Lin Kai finally couldn't help laughing, and in the puzzled eyes of the middle-aged uncle, he took out a heavy black box from his arms, and took out a golden bullet from the box and slapped it on the uncle's stiff hand, laughed and said: "Today you invite me to eat noodles, and in the future I will invite you to eat fragrant and spicy food!" ”
