Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 176: Immortals
"Then believe him so much?"
Shi Yandao leaned against the wall and squinted at the tall buildings not far away.
There are people in the tall buildings, but people don't go out. Ghostly, hiding behind a curtain and peeking out.
"It's just a few catties of coarse rice, even if you give it to him, it doesn't matter. I think this kid is very clever, maybe he can be of great use. ”
Meng Qinghu also squinted, but he was looking at the sun in the sky.
This ghost weather is getting more and more irritable, hot irritability, it's almost winter, and I'm still wearing single clothes. He had never seen snow like when he was so old, let alone frozen and frozen to the point that he shivered through his bones.
Sang Yu teased Xiao Tianyou with a piece of jerky, he was really a very worry-free child. In addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping, there are very few worries.
Jing Zhan tied a waist stool to his stomach, and when he wasn't hungry, he looked around and played by himself, and he didn't have to worry about them at all.
Time passed little by little, and Shi Yandao impatiently changed his feet and stood against the wall.
If the boy doesn't come, he'll dig three feet into the ground and dig it out for him.
Until now, no one has dared to let my uncle and me suffer.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a rush of footsteps on the other side of the alley, and the boy turned back as he ran, as if shouting something.
Behind him, a woman was chasing after him with a child in her arms, and when she saw Meng Qinghu and his party standing under the tree, she stopped hesitantly.
When the boy saw his mother stop, he immediately shouted again: "Go back, you go back quickly, I will come back as soon as I send them off, and I will definitely not run around." ”
The woman raised her hand, wiped a handful of tears, turned and walked deeper into the alley, took a few steps, looked back, walked a few more steps, and looked back again.
It wasn't until her figure disappeared from the other end of the alley that the boy ran over: "Let's go, I'll take you to Xicheng." ”
The boy seemed to be very familiar with the entire Dafeng City, and he took Sang Yu and a few people to turn a few corners, and through a few alleys, he saw the city wall of Xicheng.
It is not right to say that it is a wall, but it is a wall, the wall of a residential complex, which is now reinforced, and there are soldiers patrolling on it.
"Just go and take a look, you must not listen to the Liu family, go and get their food, be their mercenaries, you will really die. ”
The boy probably took Meng Qinghu's things, and he always felt uneasy about his conscience.
Such a good person, give him food, if they become mercenaries of the Liu family, there is only one way to die.
Think about his father, and the uncles and uncles of the neighbors, don't they all go to death like this, leaving a bunch of orphans and widows.
"Okay, let's take a look, thank you little brother."
Meng Qinghu thought about it, then took out a piece of jerky from his bag and gave it to him: "Go back, don't let your mother worry." ”
Maybe it was too unexpected, the boy didn't expect them to give him something, he took the jerky, tears flowed down his eyes, he kept bowing, and muttered thanks in his mouth: "Thank you, thank you, you are all good people, good people will definitely have good rewards." ”
"Alright, let's go back."
Meng Qinghu didn't know why he was so sympathetic this time.
Such a small boy, even if he tries his best, it will be difficult to support his mother and sister.
What can he do when they have eaten all the food they have given?
The boy walked a few steps, raised the jerky in his hand, which was less than two catties, and looked at it, he ran back as if he had made up his mind, and rubbed to Sang Yu's side: "Do you want that beautiful bead?" ”
"Yes."
Sang Yu turned his head, his eyes shining: "I like it a lot, do you know where to find it?" ”
The boy looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Sister, if you want beads, go to the alley mouth today and wait for me at night, I will take you there, you can only go at night, and now you can't go during the day." ”
After speaking, the boy didn't wait for Sang Yu to answer, and ran away, as if he was afraid that he would not be caught if he ran slowly.
"What did he say?"
Meng Qinghu looked at the little boy who ran away and asked curiously.
"Told us to go to him at night, at the mouth of today's alley, he said he couldn't go during the day."
Meng Qinghu smiled: "The gods are mysterious, okay, it's night at night, it's okay now anyway, I'll go over with Shi Yan and take a look, Jing Zhan, you take Xiao Tianyou and Sang Yu to wait for us here." ”
"Hmm."
Jing Zhan stood in the shade of the tree with Xiao Tianyou in his arms, closed his eyes slightly, and rested.
Sang Yu squatted at his feet, carefully rubbing the hedron in his hand.
They are not short of hedrons now, and there are still some in her space warehouse, but these are enough for them, and they can be needed by more abilities later, which is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.
Is it okay to use this spar as energy and use it in industry?
For example, instead of consuming the precious underground resource oil, these crystals are used to start the machine that needs to be turned on by refining crude oil.
For example, let it generate electricity as if it were electricity, rather than just relying on light panels to collect electricity.
If spar can be used in all walks of life, then its demand will increase.
Even if all walks of life can't use it, it will cost a lot just to improve the ability of the ability. The improvement of extraordinary abilities still seems to be endless.
Shi Yandao and Meng Qinghu turned the alley and saw a big road, and there was a fence on the side of the road, and a group of people were standing by the fence and talking.
Seeing Meng Qinghu and Shi Yandao coming over, several people looked at them vigilantly: "Who are you, is there something wrong?" ”
Meng Qinghu had a smile on his face and deliberately slowed down: "We heard that Xicheng is recruiting people and giving food, come and have a look." ”
Hearing that they were here to be mercenaries, everyone seemed to be relieved, and one of the older men walked out: "Where are you here, I listened to Liu Heizi at the city gate, he is the only one in the city." ”
"Hmm. Our little Wangzhuang's. ”
Meng Qinghu only vaguely agreed to reply, and didn't want to say more.
"Is there anyone else in Xiaowangzhuang?"
The man asked suspiciously, and led them to the other side: "Come with me, it's not here to recruit people." ”
Meng Qinghu's gaze swept over the wall that was being built not far away, and then his gaze fell, and he followed the man to the other side.
About 100 meters away, under the shade of a large tree, three men dressed slightly better were impatiently drinking water in the shade.
Seeing the man leading two young men over, he hurriedly asked, "Who recruited them?" ”
The man who brought them picked up a bottle of water on the table, raised his head and took a sip: "Liu Heizi from the grain store, Xiaowangzhuang, are brothers. ”
"Yes, it's strong, do you have any abilities?"
"What do you mean by an ability?"
Meng Qinghu didn't speak, and Shi Yandao asked with a humble face.
"You kid, you don't know any abilities, do you breathe fire? Will it ripen the trees and grains? Will it become an iron block? ”
Shi Yandao couldn't help laughing: "Big brother, are you joking with me, is that still a person?" That's called a fairy. ”
"Okay, okay, I don't understand it when I tell you."
The man in the lead was impatient to explain that since he was a person who died without a special ability, there was no need for him to care about him.
"If you join the town construction, each person can pack two meals a day, and if you don't eat here, you can get half a catty of rice and choose for yourself."
Meng Qinghu and Shi Yandao glanced at each other. Shi Yandao continued to ask with a smile: "Is half a catty of rice a little less, it's not enough for me to eat alone." ”
"Less?"
The man in the lead sneered: "There are a lot of abilities over there, two catties a day." They hit birds and beasts, and they can take back what they can eat, can you? I'm afraid that you won't be able to fight, and you will be sent to death in vain. When the time comes, we will have to pay five catties of rice for the funeral. ”
"Five catties of rice for one life?"
Shi Yandao stretched out his hand and pulled Meng Qinghu's arm: "This deal is not cost-effective, I feel that we are here to die." Can't promise them that if we die, the little brother and the little sister who will feed. ”
He had a scruffy beard, his clothes were in tatters, his hair had not been trimmed for many days, and his eyes were covered, and he looked basically the same as a vagabond.
The whole person looks depressed and destitute.
"I advise the two of you to accept it, you know, now in the entire Dafeng City, only our Liu family still has food in our hands. If you want to live, you have to eat food, and it costs money to eat food, how much money do you have enough to consume? ”
The leading man's voice was a little sharp, and he looked arrogant.
The meaning is obvious, you don't accept the recruitment of our Liu family, you only have to starve to death.
Meng Qinghu shook his head: "Impossible, we don't have money, we have points, my father left me a lot of credit points, enough for our brothers and sisters to live for a while." ”
"Points? Fame Points? Hahahaha......"
After the man finished speaking, he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, and several people around him also leaned forward and backwards with laughter: "Are you stupid, or have you not been back for many years?" Now let's talk about bullshit points. ”
The man who led Meng Qinghu was a little unbearable to look at them with a look of incomprehension, and kindly explained: "Originally, this point was made by the base, and at that time, our Liu family in Dafeng City and the base were in a cooperative relationship, and this point was also shared. But have you forgotten that Xiao Muchen of the base took more than 200,000 people to the south of the base, and the current base is in name only, how can it be compared with our Dafeng City? ”
"This point was abolished three years ago. If you had come back three years ago, you would have been able to exchange some food when you cleared the points, but now you can't exchange a single piece of grass! ”
After the man finished speaking, he sighed slightly, how good it was at the beginning, the base is here, and the entire Dafeng City is prosperous.
Everyone eats according to their ability and earns points for food.
Now, I can only rely on selling my life, and human life is like a mustard, two adult strong men, there is no life-saving kung fu on their bodies, and they can only be said to be fools who want to support their younger brothers and sisters.
Meng Qinghu had some understanding of the current situation in Dafeng City, and said lightly: "Forget it, let's take our younger brothers and sisters to Shicheng to have a look." ”
"Ha, Shicheng, are you going to die?"
The leading man laughed strangely: "Our Dafeng City is like this, do you still think that Shicheng can be good?" ”
