Chapter 366: Exchanging Things for Water
There is a strong smell of blood on these people's bodies......
Ye Zhining felt that her nose smelled blood very sensitively, and she didn't know if it was her illusion, these bloody smells seemed to be a little unfresh? Wipe! When will she still feel the freshness of the bleeding?
When everyone came out, Ye Zhining didn't use her mental power to probe, she felt that she was relying more and more on spiritual power, which was a bad phenomenon, in case one day her spiritual power was gone......
Seeing people coming out, Luo Feng smiled at the thirty or so people in front of him: "Sorry to disturb, we just want to stay here for one night, and it won't disturb you." ”
When those people saw Luo Feng talking, they all looked at each other, and finally the old man stood up, "You can stay, but you have to give us some water......"
"Yes, give us ...... water," the old man said, and the prime of life behind him all shouted. And it can be seen that they should be very short of water, and all of them look extremely short of water.
As soon as the child saw that everyone was talking, he couldn't wait to look at Ye Zhining and the others, and finally looked at Ye Zhining pitifully, "Big sister, I'm so thirsty, give me some water to drink." ”
The mental outlook can be seen a lot, just as Ye Zhining and the others saw that the people in front of them were extremely short of water, and those people also saw that Ye Zhining and others were not short of water.
In the face of that poor boy, if he hadn't looked at him with a hungry and greedy gaze, Ye Zhining might have given him some water. But now, Ye Zhining will not be kind...... Despite such a result, just let them have less water.
Because she found out about one thing...... Or maybe it's not just her, someone else has found out.
Looking at the people shouting in front of him, Dongfang Mo's indifferent voice sounded, "If you want water, exchange it for useful things, there is no free lunch in the world, especially the water here." ”
"That's right, if you have anything of value, you can exchange the water with us." Luo Feng also found out about the incident, his expression was slightly cold, and he said lightly.
Because of their large numbers, those people didn't dare to say anything, but they blocked the door of the cave and prevented Ye Zhining and the others from entering. Seeing this, Ye Zhining looked at the old man who took the lead, "Do you think that you can stop us?" Don't take our kindness as your arrogant capital. ”
"I ......" was said by Ye Zhining's words, and the old man had nothing to say, and those people behind him, under Dongfang Mo's gaze, had to give up resisting.
The people went straight inside, and the cave was big enough that even though there were hundreds of them, they didn't feel crowded. And they were on the left, and the other 30 or so people were on the right, and the group was faintly confrontational.
Just look at the two sides, it is a completely different combat power.
Lighting the fire, Ye Zhining looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the cave and sat in front of the fire. In Dongfang Mo's hand, there was a freshly baked hot cake, because Ye Zhining didn't like to eat dry, he had broken it and put it in a bowl, poured water, and then boiled it on the fire.
This kind of dry food was bought in the town, and this kind of dry food is also the most expensive for people who go out because of its durability. It's just that the taste of this cake is not good, and it is boiled into a paste with water, which is a little better.
But despite this, Dongfang Mo still felt sorry for giving Ye Zhining this kind of thing. But at that time, they didn't have any extra money at all, and it was not a simple matter to buy enough dry food for so many people.
When it was almost cooked badly, Dongfang Mo handed it to Ye Zhining, "Today Luo Feng saw an edible grass, I added it to it, you can see how it tastes." ”
"I haven't eaten it yet, but I look a lot better!" gave a positive answer, Ye Zhining looked at the little bit of greenery in the bowl, and it did look much better than before.
It's not that Ye Zhining didn't see the sight nearby, and how many of them were ill-intentioned. I ate the paste in the bowl by myself, although I didn't know what kind of grass it was, but the taste was a little sweet, and it was a good seasoning.
Until she finished eating a whole bowl of mush, Ye Zhining still felt that her stomach was not full enough, maybe now that the two of them are eating, and her appetite is also big. Before, I had a bad appetite, but today I have a significantly better appetite.
"Haven't you eaten yet?" Dongfang Mo looked at Ye Zhining's obvious little gluttony, and suddenly wanted to laugh, but it was rare to see her like this.
Nodding affirmatively, Ye Zhining did not have the habit of making herself hungry, seeing this, the general in charge of the grain reserve quickly handed the dry food to Dongfang Mo, and also handed over two copies, "The young lady had a bad appetite a few days ago, and now that her appetite is good, you have to eat more." Now it's a mouth, two people, even if we eat less, we have to let the young lady be full. ”
This general has followed Dongfang Mo for many years, and Dongfang Mo knows that his words are not flattery, but really think so. Without further ado, he went straight through two portions of dry food and began to break them into a bowl, then added water and ingredients, everything was so natural and skillful.
Seeing this, Ye Zhining couldn't help but stop slightly: "I've already eaten a bowl, I'm afraid I can't eat too much, don't waste it." ”
"It's okay, you can't finish eating, I'll finish eating." Dongfang Mo said nonchalantly, and he had been busy with Dongfang Mo's food, and he hadn't eaten it yet.
Over there, there was fire and dry food, but there was no water. When dry food enters the throat, I am afraid that I will choke people to death. Seeing the situation on Ye Zhining's side, the old man couldn't help but tighten the bag in his hand, looked at his little grandson, and finally couldn't bear the child to suffer......
With the bag in hand, the old man walked to the left step by step, but before he could get closer, a soldier stopped him on the side, "If there is anything, just say it here." ”
The old man tightened the bag in his hand and looked at Dongfang Mo over there, "I...... I have food here, and I want to exchange some water with you to drink. "Their group lacks food, but they lack water. After all, it was all caravan travel, and there would be no shortage of food, and after the sandstorm, as long as you are willing to look for it, it is not difficult to find food.
Dongfang Mo was focused on his mush, and when Luo Feng saw this, he motioned to the soldiers to let the old man in. After coming in, the old man saw that Dongfang Mo ignored him, so he walked in front of Luo Feng and opened the bag in his hand......
There is indeed a lot of food in his bag, not only the dry food that Dongfang Mo and they eat now, but also some small snacks that are durable, because there is no water, for the old man, the dry food is the same.
Ye Zhining also saw those things, and her personal interest in dim sum was still relatively large. Picking out all the dim sum, Ye Zhining took some more high-end dry food than the ones they were eating now, "These, how much water do you change?" ”
Ye Zhining really didn't take much, but despite this, the old man still didn't want to say less, "A bowl of water!" ”
In the desert, how can the price of a bowl of water be such dry food? Ye Zhining smiled, and made a gesture to return those, seeing this, the old man panicked, "No bowl, no bowl, no bowl, just half a bowl......"
Half a bowl is about the same, you can't just give it to someone, and it seems that the old man is also going to take it back to his grandson to drink. Ye Zhining signaled to Luo Feng, and Luo Feng took out a porcelain bowl from the side, which was accidentally picked up some time ago, because it was used, so it was left.
Holding the half bowl of water, the old man swallowed his saliva, but finally did not drink it, but returned to his place. Feeling the fierce gaze around him, the old man knew that these people were afraid of those people on the other side, otherwise they would have come up to rob them a long time ago.
Bringing the water to his grandson, the old man shouted to the rest of the people, "If you have anything that you can change, don't change it with others, and you won't be able to drink water after that." ”
Encouraged by the old man like this, and stimulated by the water, everyone began to rummage through their bags for any good things. And when the old man turned around, the grandson had already drunk all the water and was licking the bowl there......
"Little grandson, you can lick grandpa too......" Looking at the bowl, the old man couldn't help but think of the water just now, but unfortunately the grandson didn't give him a mouthful left.
Biting the pastry in her mouth, Ye Zhining looked at the situation over there, and when she saw that the child drank the water like that, without leaving a sip for his grandfather, Ye Zhining's heart was slightly sour, "His grandfather was so good to him, he didn't leave a sip of water for his grandfather." ”
Seeing this scene, Ye Zhining couldn't help but think of the reports she saw in her previous life. The elderly, sometimes, are the most easily ignored, but also the most impossible to ignore.
In the decades of the Anti-Japanese War, how many soldiers contributed their lives, and how many people contributed their youth. By the end of the war, they had lost their youth, and some of them were not even at home.
The country is a country, and only when there is a country can there be a home, but they kept the country and lost their home. And what about them when they get old? No education, no skills, no marriage, no children......
They have nothing, except for that honor, and the rest is only lonely...... Those who still have relatives are okay, they can still have a better old age, but what about those who don't? All that is left for them is the toil of life.
The appearance of those soldiers in old age overlaps with the old man in front of him, and the selfless dedication of the old man to his grandson is like the selfless dedication to the country when a soldier is young. And now the grandson is turning a blind eye to the old man, but it is like ......
I don't want to think about the things of my past life anymore, but sometimes, it always touches people inadvertently. Ye Zhining handed the bowl to Luo Feng on the side, there was half a bowl of water in it, "Give it to that old man, just say that I have a fancy for other dry food, you can give me that piece casually." ”
Luo Feng knew that this was Ye Zhining pitying the old man, this was water, and it was nothing to Ye Zhining.
Over there, the old man looked at the water sent by Luo Feng, and almost gave all the dry food to Ye Zhining. But he also knows that he and his grandson have to live on dry food.
Looking at the child looking at his grandfather, Luo Feng frowned slightly, "Your grandfather is very thirsty, you are a good boy." ”
