Chapter 9, Falling from the Sky
Wang Ying walked around very casually, just like shopping in a rural market before the end of the world.
There are all kinds of things, all kinds of things, everything is available, and the antique calligraphy and paintings that were once precious have suddenly become worthless in these last days, and no one wants to exchange precious food for these things that can only be seen.
What is really popular is some weapons and other things, whether it is going out of the base city to hunt in the wild, or doing something that can't see the light in the base city, weapons are indispensable things, and they are also the most sought-after goods now.
Of course, the weapons sold here are all cold weapons, some shoddy swords and the like, there are no high-quality products at all, real hot weapons, high-quality cold weapons and the like are all in some powerful and background black shops, and you can't get in without a few catties of meat on your body.
"Sell your daughter, sell your daughter, as long as 100 catties of grain, my daughter will sell you, and from now on, you will be beaten and scolded, and you will be a slave and a maid."
Walking around, strolling, Wang Ying heard a loud voice.
Following the sound, I saw a middle-aged man with a girl who looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the man was shouting hard, while the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was standing very quietly in front.
This girl is wearing the clothes of a high school student, her appearance is not bad, melon seed face, cherry mouth, willow moon eyebrows and a pair of pitiful big eyes, although she is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she has completely grown up, her height is almost 170, her figure is graceful and graceful, and she can feel this youthful atmosphere through the wide school uniform.
"Hey~"
Wang Ying frowned slightly, it was already a civilized era, and there was even a phenomenon of selling sons and daughters, this was not the first time he had seen it, and he had seen it before, and he had to sigh that with the arrival of the last days, human civilization was also regressing.
Selling his daughter, just to exchange for some food, but also to be a slave and a maid, beaten and scolded, what is the difference between this and the ancient feudal society?
But this scene that was only seen in ancient TV before, now happens in front of my eyes, so real that people can't help but pinch themselves, whether they are asleep.
With the shouting of the middle-aged man, a group of people gathered around to watch the excitement, Wang Ying could see that many people's eyes were flashing with fire, a twenty-nine-year-old girl, who was not excited?
It's just that the other party opened his mouth to 100 catties of grain, this price is too expensive, and now in this world, people who can get 100 catties of grain are not simple people, at least these people around them are hungry, and they can't even eat themselves, so it is impossible to have food to buy this girl.
"100 catties of grain can go to the Red Street to find Sister Hong 100 times, although your daughter is very beautiful, but it is not worth the price~"
The man with good deeds said to the middle-aged man with a smile.
"My daughter is perfect, can she be the same as those red sisters? Besides, if you buy it, you will be a slave or a maid in the future, and 100 catties of grain is nothing at all. ”
"If it weren't for this fucking end times, who would be willing to sell their sons and daughters, I would be reluctant, but there is no way, I can't support her, and I can't bear her to stand on the street, so I can only sell."
"If you can't afford this price, get out of here, don't entertain here, sell to powerful people, at least you won't starve to death!"
The middle-aged man blew his beard and glared at the person who spoke, and his words were full of helplessness.
When the people around heard it, they thought about it and seemed to think that it made sense, and some people nodded, if they sold it to a powerful person, it seemed to be good to be able to eat enough, so that some people even wanted to sell themselves.
Wang Ying shook his head and walked away, not knowing how to evaluate this middle-aged man, selling his own flesh and blood seemed ruthless, but in his words, if he sold it to a powerful person, his daughter would at least not have to starve in the future, which seemed to be another move full of fatherly love.
"The Emperor of Heaven came to the world, caring for the world, and those who believe in the Emperor of Heaven can get rid of the sea of suffering and enter the Elysian World~"
"Because the world doesn't believe in the emperor, there is the current disaster~"
"The Son of Heaven came to the world and spread the glory of the Emperor of Heaven~"
Wang Ying hadn't taken a few steps before he heard another sound.
I saw a group of people dressed in uniform black clothes and wearing hideous masks on their faces, while constantly chanting some words, and constantly distributing leaflets to the surrounding crowd.
"Three days later, the Son of Heaven opened the altar to preach the Fa, showing the great power of the Emperor of Heaven, and all believers can receive a pound of rice for free~"
Originally, the surrounding crowd instinctively wanted to retreat when they saw these people, after all, they were uniformly dressed in black and had hideous masks, but when they heard this, they immediately surrounded them one by one.
"Is there really a pound of rice to receive?"
"How do you join your Heavenly Emperor Sect?"
"Flyer give me a copy~"
Sure enough, in these last days, food is the real hard currency, and everything else is no longer important in order to fill your stomach.
"Heavenly Emperor Sect?"
Wang Ying frowned slightly again, with the advent of the end times, all kinds of religions emerged in an endless stream, and it was common to use this method of using free food to expand his religious masses.
But Wang Ying knows that these messy religions are basically not good things, using people's fragile spirits in the last days to achieve their ulterior purposes, and often religious believers, once they enter, will not end well in the end.
Just start giving you a little bit of a small profit, luring you to join, and then you will be brainwashed and educated, religion is easier to change a person's brain than pyramid schemes.
Once brainwashed, life and death have been manipulated from then on, Wang Ying remembered that just last month, there was a person called 'Bright Moon Sect' who organized a horrific suicide case, when more than 1,000 Bright Moon Sect disciples jumped from the high wall outside the base city to commit suicide, and this incident caused the entire base city to boil.
It's just that I didn't expect that all kinds of messy religions emerge in endlessly, and there is obviously no supervision and control over this in the base city, and the entire base city is in a mess, and there are too many things that need to be rectified and managed.
Of course, Wang Ying naturally has no spare time to care about the affairs of the big people in the base city, and in such a troubled world, the only thing he can do is to live as tenaciously as a weed.
Looking at the chaotic group of people in front of them asking questions about the people of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, the crowd who received an affirmative answer became excited, and they couldn't wait to get the food for free now.
Quietly bypassing this group of people, Wang Ying continued to wander around casually, the black market was very lively, in this last days, there was no electricity, no Internet, and visiting the black market has become a habit for everyone, whether there is something or not, they will come here to take a stroll.
Wang Ying doesn't really have to buy something, but also has the purpose of passing the time.
"If you sell rings, sell rings, what falls from the sky only costs 10 catties of meat or 100 catties of grain."
A weak voice sounded in Wang Ying's ears, and it immediately attracted the attention of the idle crowd around him.
Wang Ying looked over and saw an old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face shouting vigorously, and next to him, there was a little boy about eight or nine years old.
The little boy seemed to be frightened when he saw that everyone around him had gathered around, hugged the old man's thighs, hid behind the old man, and looked at the crowd around him with a vigilant and fearful gaze.
The old man touched the boy's head very lovingly, trying to alleviate the boy's fear, and then continued to cry out feebly, and on his right hand he was showing a dull ring of ancient style.
"Old man, is what you said true? Could this thing have fallen from the sky? ”
Someone looked at the ring in the old man's hand and said with a look of disbelieving.
"Something falling from the sky?"
Wang Ying's eyes lit up, with the arrival of the apocalyptic catastrophe two years ago, there were green and red points of light floating down in the sky, and at the same time, all kinds of things would also fall from the sky.
Most of these things that fall from the sky are very extraordinary, they are some rare treasures that have never been seen on the earth, and some people get these things that fall from the sky, and they can often turn over.
So as soon as they heard that it was something that fell from the sky, the surrounding crowd became excited, and they all scrambled to see what was so strange about this ring.
It's just that this ring is dull, although it looks very quaint, but no matter how you look at it, it is also very ordinary, and it seems to be 108,000 miles away from what has fallen from the world.
"I'm almost in the ground, I won't lie, two years ago I was working in the field, and suddenly there was a big earthquake, and then this one fell like a meteor from the sky just not far away."
"Originally, I wanted to treat it as a family heirloom, but now my grandson and I are about to starve to death, so we can only take it out in exchange for some food.
When the old man heard someone questioning, his angry face turned rosy, and he explained the origin of the ring.
"Absolutely not? Then tell me, what's so special about your ring, the things that fall from the world are not ordinary, there must be something peculiar. ”
Someone smiled and said to the old man, obviously they are all watching the excitement and are not afraid of many things.
"What's so peculiar? That's not true, I've been researching for 2 years, and I haven't come up with anything, otherwise my grandson and I wouldn't have fallen to this point. ”
The old man shook his head helplessly.
"Cut ~ nothing, maybe it's a liar again, last time someone took a stone and said it fell from the sky, and it turned out to be a few catties of meat."
"Haha, I also remember that someone used to take a broken knife and say that it was a divine weapon that fell from the world, but someone used a kitchen knife to cut it in half."
"Most of this old man is also a liar~"
When the people around heard this, they immediately shook their heads with laughter and walked away.
