The first thing Yu Siqi saw when he came to the inside of the canopy was countless stacked cardboard boxes, some of which had been opened and stuffed with bags and bags of seeds. Two tattered mattresses lay on the innermost floor, with half an unfinished bottle of beer and a small plate of peanuts resting on them.

"Dog, dog, you come out for me, where did this guy die?" Barella walked through the middle of the box with her neck out, and no one answered his cries.

"It's strange, I was still bragging to me B here just now, this big slacker probably heard that business was coming, and he didn't want to work, so he looked for a chance to slip away." Barry touched his head, and it seemed that he noticed that a large piece of his scalp had been shaved off, and quickly put down his hand and said, "Look at my bad habit, I used to like to touch my head whenever I was nervous, but as you know, it seems to be a little different now." ”

Shi Bo didn't speak directly, but took off his rubber gloves, took out a small transparent bag from his pocket, which was full of bulging blue substance, and threw it to Barry and said, "The seeds owed to you last year have never had a chance to be repaid, and this time it should be able to be paid off, right?" ”

"Ouch, I'll go. Shibo, where did you make your fortune! So much! Barry held the bag of things in both hands, opened it carefully, pinched a little bit of it with two fingers and put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully and said: "The sun is just right, it is worthy of having dried tea before, this technique is really not to say." You just have to take it today, as long as your car can fit it, I will give you as much as you want. ”

"May I ask what that is?" Yu Siqi asked concernedly.

"You want to know this?" Barry cautiously sealed the bag, put it in his pocket, clapped his hands reassuringly, and said, "Actually, it's not a special thing, it's just hard currency." ”

"'Hard currency'?" Yu Siqi thought of bartering in primitive society.

"You see that we don't have many people alive anymore, so it's unlikely that we will continue to use the currency of our lifetime, right?" Barry turned around and picked up a few boxes of seeds and put them at Shibo's feet and said, "The latest rice seeds on the market, based on your family's seedling field, have a stable yield of 800 catties of rice per mu, and only 80 catties of seeds per mu." ”

"You said the same thing last year, and it turned out to be a poor harvest." Shi Bo picked up the seed bag, squinted his right eye, and said, "Old Barry, you are not too young, can't you be honest?" ”

"This, Shibo, you have wronged me. Last year, everyone's harvest was not good, and it was not your family. Barry explained.

"But everyone uses your seeds! You have to carry this pot. Shibo said: "One mu costs eighty catties, and the cost is quite large." ”

"Okay, good, my pot, Shibo taught me." Barry nodded without being angry at all and said, "If there is another bad harvest this year, I won't take any seed money next year, so it's okay." I don't believe that the weather will be worse this year than last year, and you don't know that last year's good and sudden heavy snowfall was not my seed! ”

"I didn't say that your seeds were bad, I just said that you shouldn't pack tickets, it's easy to fall behind." Shibo picked up a few boxes of seeds and walked out of the canopy and said, "Fill the car for me with the rest." ”

"No problem," Barry turned his face to Yu Siqi with a pleasant face, "Little brother, do me a favor... The guy in my store is gone, and it's still quite slow to load alone, and you wish you had more information sooner, haven't you? ”

Yu Siqi nodded, and under Barry's guidance, he also began to carry the box out for Shibo.

Soon, the small wagon body was filled with boxes and boxes of seeds.

When they had secured the goods, he sat back in the cab, started the car, and said, "I'll ask you to take care of this fellow, old Barry." ”

"Just call me Barry, I don't like people to add an old word. I'm still young! Barry's stubborn protest didn't make any difference, until he watched the pickup truck leave the compound. Barry turned his face and said to Yu Siqi seriously, "So where did we talk just now?" ”

"That bag of things," Yu Siqi, who was a little tired, gasped.

"Oh, you ask this. Actually, we don't know what it is, only that it is scattered all over the whole Tangjia Bay, and anyone can get it on the ground. Barry cautiously looked down at his pocket, as if he was caring for something.

"Is it valuable?" Yu Siqi asked.

"It is worthless to you living. But for those of us who are 'cursed', I think it's much more precious than gold. Barry rubbed his hands in satisfaction and said, "Shibo is so lucky to get so much." ”

"May I ask what that thing is for? Or is it just some kind of 'food'? Yu Siqi remembered that Barry had put it in his mouth before, and boldly guessed.

"You are satisfied with the explanation that it slows down the decay of our bodies enormously?" Barry motioned for Yu Siqi to follow him, and happily patted his belly and said, "As long as I have this bag of things, my incomplete life can continue for a while longer." ”

"Aren't you immortal?" Yu Siqi sat across from Barry, and they were sitting on the ground at the moment.

"As a living person, are you a little too subjective about 'immortality'?" Barry turned sideways and took the half bottle of beer from the mat, asked Yu Siqi, and after finding that he was not interested, he opened his mouth and drank it.

"We do have a bit of an 'immortality' flavor in it, but if our bodies are completely rotten, we still can't move. I won't die, but I personally feel worse than dying. ”

Putting down the empty bottle, Barry burped. At this time, a dark-skinned young man walked in, first saw Yu Siqi, and said a little nervously: "I didn't know you had a guest, boss." ”

"Where are you dead, dog?" Barry's face began to flush a little, and he yelled at the visitor drunkenly.

"I'm out on the street, you know, boss... Leaving my aunt's house and being 'robbed' again. The dog did not feel timid at all, but sat down on the mat opposite him and said, "This time it is said to be true." ”

"If you let you work, you'll be lazy for me, do you still want to be paid?" Barry rubbed his eyes and asked, "Did you lose something?" ”

"Well, here's the problem. Obviously, the door lock was picked by someone, but not only did there be nothing missing at home, but there were hundreds of dollars more. Although we don't use that kind of banknote very much now, I always think it's weird! The dog sat there with his knees folded and staggered.

"It is estimated that you have a bad memory of your aunt, forgot to lock the door, and turned out the previous money, thinking that you were robbed." Barry picked up the plate of peanuts and ate it to himself, saying, "It's not the first time she's said that her house has been burglarized, it's the same thing every time, that is, you idle lazy people like to go over and join in the fun." ”

"It's definitely real this time, boss." The dog said firmly: "Aunt Li said that when she got up in the middle of the night, she saw a man using the toilet in her house. ”

"Is there any evidence in the toilet?" Barry asked lazily.

"No, the toilet is clean." The dog said.

"Amnesia is terrible, forget it before you die, and you still have such a bad memory when you die." Barry muttered quietly.

"Oh... By the way, boss, you haven't introduced me to your guests yet! The dog stared at Yu Siqi with a wink and said, "I didn't expect the boss's business to get bigger and bigger, and even living people outside came to you to wholesale seeds." ”

"He's not here to do business, he's here to find things." Barry pouted.

"Looking for something in the 'dead man's pile'?" The dog said the same thing as Barry, but he had a different attitude than Barry, and he showed unusual enthusiasm for it.

"You've come to the right place, there's nothing in the whole Mendu town that our boss doesn't know."

"Go, go, bring me less high hats, I don't know more things." Barry waved his hand, and he finished eating the peanuts.
