4. Firewood, rice, oil, salt
Military career, ten years of a sword, military orders like a mountain; Special identity, licking blood at the tip of the knife, nine deaths and one life.
The day and night companionship of death alleviated Shi Fei's longing and guilt for his sister, especially after the start of the power outage battle, all the soldiers were talking and laughing today, and they might have been on the battlefield tomorrow.
No one dared to think about life after the war.
By chance, he was far away from the army at this time, Shi Fei took off the shackles that restricted his freedom, and after seeing the photo of his sister, the sadness and longing that churned all over his body almost knocked him down again.
"Hackers, my sister's matter, I'm very uncomfortable, I didn't protect her...... I haven't heard anything from her for ten years! Shi Fei sat on the small iron bed, crying loudly, the emotions that had been suppressed for ten years were suddenly released, and when they were suddenly released, they seemed to be hearty like bursting the embankment.
Regarding this memory, the hacker seemed to have been lost, and he looked at Shi Fei blankly, as if he couldn't understand what his sadness and tears were for.
Shi Fei sighed deeply while wiping his tears, his sister was lost, Lin Ke was also killed, and he seemed to be living on his own island.
There is no deeper coldness in the world than loneliness; There is no greater helplessness in the world than the words that are spoken, and no one understands.
After venting his frustration and despair, Shi Fei finally got better, and his whole body became lighter.
He put the three photos into the inner pocket of his clothes, and secretly made up his mind that since he no longer needed to return to the army, then surviving and finding his sister is his biggest task and goal at present.
Seeing that he had suppressed his tears, the hacker also reached out and patted him on the shoulder, babbling out of his mouth without knowing what he was saying.
Shi Fei looked at the mutated Lin Ke and sighed again: "Hacker, you are my second major task. ”
The two of them sat in the orphanage for a long time, and by this time it was already dark.
Shi Fei and the hacker were in a solemn mood, closed the iron door, and left this place full of memories of childhood.
When they arrived in the towns, supplies were not as scarce as they were in the places where the refugees from outside came, and the residents who had not migrated and fled tried their best to produce and cultivate, and there was still some surplus food that could be traded or exchanged.
Shi Fei touched his pocket, and there were still some Bella cash he carried with him, so he didn't care, he first found a place to eat to satisfy his hunger.
In the past, I was looking for money to spend, but now I am looking for a place to spend money, and the changes in the world are too great.
The whole town is not much different from the dead city, with only a few hundred people living and only five or six shops open.
The other houses, broken and broken, closed and closed, with no light at all. Most of the residents close their houses to avoid the invasion of the cold wind, and only light a tiny flame in the house to keep warm, because all energy is very precious and must be saved.
After looking for a long time, I finally found a restaurant that was open.
When I entered the restaurant, there were a few people sitting here and there, tugging at the food in front of them with disgust.
The lights are dim, the huge restaurant has only a few small lights, and even the bearded owner has a half-dead face.
When the two of them entered, everyone looked back, especially at the hacker, and then turned their heads indifferently, each laboriously chewing on the contents of their plates.
On the way north, Shi Fei and the hackers also encountered many scattered reinforcement warriors. Presumably they were separated during the war.
They walked aimlessly unconsciously, no one knowing where they came from or where they would go in the future.
It seems that the only remaining residents in the town are also used to seeing enhanced warriors, and when they see Shi Fei coming in with a turquoise hacker, they are used to it.
Shi Fei thought happily in his heart: "Finally, there is a restaurant to eat, and I can finally open a meat restaurant!" ”
As a result, look at the menu: potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, bread bisque with green onions.
The dishes are so monotonous that they fade out, and just looking at the menu, people suddenly lose their appetite.
"Don't you have any other dishes? Like, meat? Shi Fei asked cautiously.
The bearded boss opened his lazy eyes: "Meat? No meat in months. Luxury jewelry! The weather is too cold for the livestock to feed. The animals will also eat, and if they have nothing to eat, they will starve to death. ”
"Yes, guess what the boss's family used to do? Selling feed for livestock. There was no feed to sell, it went out of business, and it changed careers. A diner next to him smiled wryly and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Selling livestock feed turned into a restaurant?" Shi Fei was taken aback, this career span is a bit big.
"What? No way? The principle is still the same. Feeding animals and feeding people is not the same thing. The bearded boss retorted in a cold tone.
Shi Fei secretly felt bad in his heart, his eyes glanced at the food in the back kitchen and on the table, and he immediately became almost desperate: a lump of black and hard gnocchi dared to call himself bread, and the soup with a few vegetable roots in it clearly dared to call himself a thick soup, and the messy stew of cabbage, tomatoes and potatoes was already considered the top cuisine here.
It's no wonder that the diners are eating as if they were being punished, and it is really too difficult for them.
Come and be at ease. When the problem of living is solved, I will consider starting a gang on my own.
Shi Fei stubbornly ordered some daily food, thinking that the money on his body would be enough to last for a few days.
Unexpectedly, the bearded boss directly squeezed out a sentence from his mouth coldly: "2000 Bella!" ”
Shi Fei's hand couldn't help but tremble, and the money almost fell to the ground: "How much?" ”
He thought he had misheard.
"2000 bella in total!" The boss said it again impatiently.
"Just these two dishes and one soup cost 2,000 bellas? You're afraid it's a black shop, right? Shi Fei's eyes were about to fall.
It's been a long time since I've eaten at a restaurant, and prices have skyrocketed to this level? Before the power outage war, even if they went out to open meat, they didn't need 2,000 bellas for a big meal.
Could it be that the out-of-control prices caused by the influx of refugees have spread to small towns thousands of kilometers away?
The other diners in the restaurant watched as the two outsiders laughed as if they were looking at the dirt buns coming into the city from the countryside.
But in fact, Shi Fei and the hackers came from the big city, and the situation was completely reversed.
"You don't care about black and white stores, 2000 is already cheap. The weather is too bad, and after a while, even the flour and vegetables in the town will become less and less, and 2,000 bellas are estimated to be enough to nibble on two black loaves. The bearded boss didn't care about Shi Fei, who was stunned, and directly took the money from his stunned hands, and threw out two rice bowls casually.
Shi Fei and the hacker brought the rice bowl to the table, looked at the food that made people lose their appetite, and finally believed the fact that the boss used to sell livestock feed.
He didn't change his career at all, he just sold what he gave to the animals to eat.
Chewing food in his mouth that he couldn't swallow, Shi Fei's mind was buzzing, okay, I was thinking that the money on my body could last for a while, but I didn't expect that a dinner would immediately make him lower his expectations.
Three days? Four days? Will it last a week?
Half a month's military salary is only enough for two meals, and the rest of the money is estimated to barely last for a week.
Thinking of the life in the barracks, although I worked hard, my life was simple and simple, and I didn't have to worry about food and clothing; As soon as he left the army, the biggest crisis that came to his face turned out to be firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which caught Shi Fei off guard.
The hacker could eat anything anyway, and he couldn't starve to death if he was hungry, and he was still satisfied with this dark dinner.
Shi Fei couldn't be like him, he had such a good appetite and stuffed everything into his mouth, he sat in his seat sadly, thinking sadly about how to live next.
At this time, if there is a bottle of wine, Shi Fei, who is not good at drinking, must drink it in one go, borrow wine to eliminate his sorrows, sleep in a sleep, and save himself from these troublesome things.
