The boy was disappointed and sad, and he clung to the shining hedron and shed tears in strings.

He almost took his life to Xicheng, thinking that he had picked up a treasure and could exchange it for some food, but who knew it was useless.

However, the Liu family in Xicheng said that it must be useful, but its function has not been developed for the time being.

"Kid, can you show me your stone?"

Sang Yu straightened up and looked at the spar in the boy's hand, looking very interested.

Girls, it's normal to like this kind of shiny thing.

The boss didn't care at all, he didn't panic when he had food in his hand, and he dozed off on the recliner again with his eyes closed.

The boy handed the stone in his hand to Sang Yu with some hesitation, and did not let go: "You look at it like this." ”

He didn't believe her, he was dressed in tatters than him, and he didn't look like he was rich.

Sang Yu didn't really want to see the spar, she just wanted to know where the spar came from, maybe she could pick it up like a boy.

"This is pretty good."

Sang Yu exclaimed, and shouted to Meng Qinghu: "Brother, you just bought a pound of rice and bought this stone for me, you see how beautiful it is." ”

Meng Qinghu walked into the store, glanced at the stone, and said angrily: "A broken stone, and a pound of grain, you should be careful to go back and grandpa scolds you." ”

"Brother......

Sang Yu grabbed Meng Qinghu's arm, looking like he wanted it.

"Don't drag it, your clothes are rotten."

Meng Qinghu patted a piece of copper on the boss's counter: "Boss, look at how much food this can be exchanged for." ”

Gold, silver, copper, and iron are now hard circulating currencies, and when the boss saw that they really had something, he immediately turned over and sat up, picked it up and threw it on: "Three catties and two taels, you can exchange it for six catties and four taels of rice." ”

This price is very black, and it can't be blacker anymore.

Meng Qinghu grabbed the copper back with some hesitation: "Isn't it one pound of copper and three pounds of rice?" ”

In fact, when they left Shicheng, one pound of copper could be exchanged for six pounds of rice, but after nine years, Meng Qinghu kept an eye on it and deliberately said three catties.

The black and thin boss waved his hand impatiently: "That's the price of the first half of the year, now, it's one catty for two catties, you are copper, if it is iron, you can only exchange it for half a catty." ”

"Brother......

Sang Yu saw Meng Qinghu hesitating, and immediately began to pull his tattered placket and shake it again: "Change, change, I want to eat rice." ”

Meng Qinghu pretended to be helpless and pushed the copper back again: "Change, weigh one pound for this little brother, and bag the rest for me." ”

"If you want a bag, you can only give you six catties and three taels."

"Okay, six catties and three taels will be six catties and three taels, hurry up and weigh it, we are still on the way."

Meng Qinghu was very impatient, looking like I had already suffered a big loss, and I didn't care about you.

"Little brother, where are you going? Stone City or Qingcheng? ”

The owner of the grain store weighed the grain, and deliberately talked to Meng Qinghu about his family, he is the Liu family, in this situation where almost every house is closed, and only his family dares to open the door, he can't do it without a little background strength.

Meng Qinghu's accent has changed a lot in Spring City in recent years, and he speaks very innocent Mandarin, so that people can't tell where he came from from the accent.

"We are in Xiaowangzhuang, there are not a few people left in the entire Zhuangzi, and we have been running outside for most of the year. Seeing that winter is coming, I simply thought about coming back to see, maybe the house at home can be cleaned up and survive the winter. ”

Meng Qinghu said that Xiaowangzhuang was between Dafeng City and Shicheng, and when he talked about Xiaowangzhuang, his accent slightly exposed his local accent, and the boss immediately believed it.

"Don't go back, there's no one left, it's all gone. You are all young people, if you really want to find a place to spend the winter, go to Xicheng. Xicheng recruits people, two meals a day, can't starve to death, can't faint, at least can save his life. ”

The owner of the grain store glanced at the two men standing outside, these three young men were tall and strong, and at first glance they were the kind of people who did not lose their strength. Although the little girl is thin, she has a good face, and as long as she works hard, it should not be difficult to support herself.

It's the child they brought with them, some of them are small, and if the little girl takes care of the child, it is estimated that she will not be able to work. With these three young people alone, it is still a little difficult to support the two of them.

Sang Yu didn't know that the owner of the grain store had already valued all five of them, so she happily took a pound of grain and exchanged it with the little boy for stones. Vainly compared it on his body, and he looked like he liked it very much.

"Do you still have it? Are there any other colors? If only I had a few more colors, I could wear it as a necklace and it would look good. ”

"It's gone, it's gone, I'll just pick one up."

The boy stole a glance at the grain store owner and hurriedly waved his hand. As he spoke, he retreated to the door, retreated to the door and ran away with the food and legs, as if he was afraid that someone would chase him.

Sang Yu stomped his foot with a look of annoyance: "Then you have to tell me where to pick it up." ”

The owner of the grain store said unhurriedly: "I know where to pick it up, in the west of the city, the Liu family is recruiting people over there." Recently, mutant beasts have often appeared over there, and this thing is dropped by fighting mutant beasts. ”

"What do you mean by a mutant beast?"

Sang Yu looked curious, her face was a little dirty, but it was difficult to hide her beauty. At first glance, she is a beautiful and dexterous little girl, which makes people feel good.

"Mutant beasts are birds and beasts that have mutated, these things are very ferocious, and they can kill people if they are not careful. You see that in this city, there are almost no people in sight, and the young and strong have gone to Xicheng......"

Speaking of Qingzhuang going to Xicheng, the grain store owner paused: "The mountain pass close to Moon Mountain over there, there are a lot of this mutant beast recently. This spar was dropped by the mutant beast, and there were a lot of these things in Xicheng, and everyone thought it was useful at first, so they rushed to pick it up. It's just good-looking, it's worthless, and no one wants it now. ”

As soon as the boss finished speaking, Sang Yu immediately went to pull Meng Qinghu's arm: "Brother, let's go take a look, pick up more and go home, it looks good if you don't use it." ”

"Nonsense."

Meng Qinghu slapped Sang Yu's hand away: "Let's go, go back and cook porridge for Tianyou, I haven't eaten food for two days." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the food and walked out, not caring about Sang Yu's angry appearance when he stomped his feet.

"Brother."

Sang Yu stomped his feet hatefully, and shouted at Jing Zhan again: "Second brother, you go with me." ”

Jing Zhan really agreed: "Okay, then let's go and have a look." ”

Shi Yandao didn't know why Sang Yu went to see this spar, and he had to perform such a play in front of the grain store owner, he knew that Sang Yu was not a person without a target. Hurriedly persuaded Meng Qinghu: "Let's accompany my little sister to have a look, and just pick up a few for her to play." ”

Meng Qinghu reluctantly put more than five catties on his back and followed Sang Yu to Xicheng.

Looking at the disappeared backs of the brothers and sisters, the grain store owner sneered: "Pick up a few, if it's so easy to pick up, that kid will use it to exchange for food, and everyone is a fool." ”

Although this beautiful crystal stone is not valuable, it is not something that every mutant beast will have, only a dangerous mutant beast will have. Killing vicious mutant beasts is a great risk to their lives, and not everyone can do it.

What the grain store owner didn't finish saying was that almost all the young people in the city went to Xicheng, but almost all the young people who died in Xicheng were piled up.

"Hey, a few more to die."

The owner of the grain store lay down on the recliner again, and he also wanted to find a safe city to stay in, but it was not safe to go anywhere. It's better to be in Dafeng City, at least he will die, and his whole family will also die last, so that he will not be pushed out early to feed those mutant beasts.

It's just that the people in the city have no choice, either wait to starve to death, or go to kill the strange beasts and send them to death to eat something.

He is not a philanthropist, and he may not be able to take care of it himself, let alone take care of others.

Everyone is well!

As soon as Sang Yu turned the street, the child who had just exchanged food quietly poked his head out of an alley.

"Hey, don't go to the west of the city, you'll die."

His voice was so low that if it weren't for Sang Yu's unusual hearing, he would almost not be able to hear clearly.

Sang Yu beckoned to him: "Come here, let me ask you, how to get to Xicheng?" ”

She deliberately paid attention to her surroundings, the doors of the houses were closed, the curtains were tightened, and no one could be seen walking on the street.

The boy hesitated for a long time, but walked over.

"Don't go, it's really dangerous, there are a lot of mutant beasts, and a lot of people have died. This stone, I also pulled it out from under the corpses, you see......"

The boy rolled up his long sleeves and showed Sang Yu the wound on his arm: "I'm injured, I'm going to mutate soon, I can't go." ”

"You're going to mutate and still run around the city, aren't you afraid that you will mutate and be killed?"

The boy bit his lip and looked at Sang Yu, tears flashing in his eyes: "My father went to kill the alien beast and died, so he gave five catties of food." Mom took her younger sister with her, but her younger sister was still young and had nothing to eat. ”

One pound of rice is enough for his sister to eat for two days.

He looked at Xiao Tianyou in Jing Zhan's arms, he was the same age as his sister, but he was so happy, he had so many big brothers and sisters, he would definitely not starve.

"You take us to Xicheng, and we give you these rice."

Meng Qinghu handed the five catties of rice he was holding in his hand to the boy: "How is it?" ”

"Yes."

The boy's eyes immediately lit up, and Baba ran over: "Is it really for me?" ”

"Well, it's all for you, you take us to Xicheng, and what's going on in the city, just tell us in detail."

Meng Qinghu threw the rice bag in his hand to him, and the boy couldn't believe it when he took it.

He carried the rice bag and asked, "Then can I send the rice home first, and then lead you there, I promise not to run, if you don't believe it, you can follow me to my house, my house is over there." ”

He was referring to a neighborhood not far from the opposite, hidden behind a cluster of tall residential buildings.

"Go ahead, we'll be waiting for you here, go and come back quickly."

The boy looked at Meng Qinghu hesitantly, and seeing that he was serious, he hesitantly walked to the alley he pointed to.

When he arrived at the mouth of the alley, he glanced back again, held the rice bag in his arms, ran away, and soon disappeared at the other end of the alley.
