After bidding farewell to the old landlord, Ding Xiu left Liangxi Town with Xiaomi.

Xiaomi is excited all the way, this is the first time she has left the town, and the outside world is both foreign and new to her.

"Uncle, is it alive?"

Since the last time I saw Qiuqiu in Ding Xiu's house, Xiaomi has been thinking about it.

"Of course, you can say hello to it, its name is Qiuqiu." Ding Xiu touched the little guy who was napping on the driver's platform and gently tapped its body with his fingers.

The ball yawned, and its movement appeared to others to be a small hole protruding from an oval orb.

"Wow~" Xiaomi's eyes widened and looked at him with a novel gaze: "Hello, Qiuqiu." ”

"Gollum." A cat-like purring sound emanates from Qiuqiu's body. When it was first brought back to Brilliant City by Chen Jianing, this little thing still couldn't make sounds, and I don't know when it started, but it gradually learned to imitate some sounds that interested it.

"It's so cute." Xiaomi stretched out her hand to hug it, but she was afraid that Ding Xiu would talk about herself like last time, so she asked, "Uncle, can I hold it?" ”

"You'll have to ask about it." Ding Xiu smiled and handed her a "give it a try" look.

Xiaomi stretched out her hand to Qiuqiu, who didn't seem to resist. The little guy rubbed Xiaomi's fingers, then squeezed out four chubby feet from under his belly, and leisurely climbed up to Xiaomi's palm.

"Uncle, does it like me?" Xiaomi looked at Ding Xiu with a look of surprise and excitement. She has lived in a loveless environment since she was a child, and it was not until she met Ding Xiu that she really felt the warmth of her family. Now that she sees Qiuqiu seems to like herself, she only feels that not only the sun has risen in her life, but the whole world is full of warmth.

"I guess so." Ding Xiu came out with Qiuqiu for a few months, perhaps because he left Chen Jianing, most of the time Qiuqiu didn't like to move much, so he didn't know much about the habits of this little guy.

"It's good that I have friends." Xiaomi happily held Qiuqiu in her arms.

Ding Xiu put the multi-functional combat power detector that Chen Jianing gave him on his ears and began to use the map function inside.

In the lens in front of the left eye, a small virtual map immediately appears.

"Next stop, let's go to Maping Town." Ding Xiu said.

"Huh?" Xiaomi was teasing Qiuqiu, and when she heard Ding Xiu's voice, she thought she was asking herself.

"We need to replenish some supplies and prepare for the journey ahead."

"Uncle." Xiaomi suddenly asked, "Where are we going in the future?" ”

Her question made Ding Xiu silent for a moment, and after half a sound, Ding Xiu replied, "Went to a place other than home." ”

"Why don't you go home?" Millet blinked and asked again. But as soon as the words came out, she seemed to suddenly realize: "I know, is it that the people in the family don't like uncle?" ”

"Huh." Ding Xiu smiled helplessly and touched her head: "Where you have peace of mind, you are home, and when you can't get it, it's the end of the world." ”

"I don't understand." Millet shook her head.

"You'll understand when you grow up."

Maping Town is about 200 kilometers away from Liangxi Town, and it only takes a few hours for the car to run at full speed. Ding Xiu set out in the morning, and when it was close to noon, they arrived at their destination.

The prosperity of this town is much lower than that of Liangxi Town, with a population of just over 10,000 and scattered distributed, unlike Liangxi Town, which is mainly concentrated in the central area of the town.

Ding Xiu slowed down the speed of the car before the car came to Maping Town, and he looked at the pedestrians and shops on both sides of the street, wanting to familiarize himself with the place first and see if there were any business opportunities that could make money.

The car needs to be repaired and replaced, and if two people are on the road, they have to stock up on food and other daily necessities, which all require money.

Ding Xiu didn't plan to touch the card his father gave him, he didn't want to use everything related to the family, so when he left home, even the car and weapons insisted on using the ones he brought to Brilliant City.

The surrounding area of Maping Town is mountainous, most of the town's residents rely on agriculture and animal husbandry for a living, and there are few commercial facilities in the town.

Parking the car in front of the store, Ding Xiu took Xiaomi to get out of the car together, with the lesson of Xingtang Town, he didn't dare to leave Xiaomi alone in the car now.

"Refueling or repairing?" When the guy in the store saw the business coming to the door, he immediately greeted him.

"Both." Ding Xiu replied, and looked at the environment of the store by the way. "Okay, please sit inside." The guy beckoned, took Ding Xiu and Xiaomi into the store to sit and rest, and then went to the car to get busy.

There were a few newspapers on the table in the store, as well as a stack of candy, Ding Xiu handed the candy to Xiaomi, picked up the newspaper and looked at it himself.

The newspapers are all expired, and there are some signs of wear and tear on the edges of the paper, which I think has been turned over by many people. Ding Xiu passed the time with a newspaper, occasionally turning his head to glance at the clerk who was repairing his car.

The owner of the car repair shop is called Chen An, who is not tall, but has a relatively strong body. He poured two cups of tea and prepared to get close to the guest.

"You're not locals."

"We're passing by." Ding Xiu said, "Where is the best place to stay and eat in the town. ”

"Hey, you're asking the right person." Chen An first introduced himself, and then introduced endlessly: "If you want to eat economically, the 'old Shi family' in Zhennan is good, and the owner of that shop is surnamed Shi, which is the same as the name of the shop, because everyone calls him Lao Shi." If you want to eat some special game, Zhenxi's 'High Roller' is the first choice, where the ordinary dishes may not be as good as Lao Shi's, but the specialties are definitely first-class. ”

"What are the specialties?" Ding Xiu asked again.

"All kinds of game in the mountains, and big flying foxes."

"Flying foxes? Bat? Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, and the appearance of a black animal with the appearance of a mouse and wings came to his mind.

"yes, that's the big guy." Chen An stretched out his arms and gestured.

"Are bats that big?" Ding Xiu looked at the distance of his open hand, almost more than a meter.

"It's still small, the one from the 'High Roller' came a few days ago, I watched them measure it there, and the wings were fully spread and almost two meters long."

"Mutated?" Most of the changes in the body shape and habits of animals are caused by mutations, and Ding Xiu has experienced a lot, so he is very experienced in this area.

"Who knows." Chen An shook his head and said: "A few years ago, when the fruit trees planted in the town bore fruit, almost all of them were trampled by those big flying foxes, those guys ate everything, fruits, nectar, and animals, oh yes, sometimes they bite people." However, flying foxes only come out at night, so as long as they don't wander around at night, they are generally not dangerous. ”
