Chapter 14: Famine
The next morning, Chu Ming was obviously in high spirits, there was no way, it was already three o'clock in the morning when he came back last night, and he didn't sleep for a few hours, after the old club saw Chu Ming's appearance, although he taught Chu Ming to be temperate or something, he still let the bolt pillar go to catch the car and let Chu Ming go to rest.
The bolt pillar pouted, a look of reluctance, but there was nothing to do, he was eating now from Chu Ming, it was a matter of course to do some work, if Chu Ming drove him away, the bolt pillar would not have to live, in this troubled time, the bolt pillar did not have any food on his body, and the entire Central Plains was in a famine, and the bolt had no place to go to find food, so he could only find a way to sell himself to the army and go to the battlefield to eat guns, this is the best result of the bolt pillar.
The carriage walked towards Zhengzhou little by little, and encountered more and more victims along the way, dead bodies could be seen everywhere, some wild dogs were even devouring human corpses, and their eyes were red when they ate, even if they saw a living person, they were also bleeding, and they didn't let a single step, the blood of these wild dogs has all been stimulated, they are really not afraid of humans, on the way, Chu Ming saw a foreigner riding a donkey with a camera constantly taking pictures, presumably this foreigner is the American reporter in the plot.
"It's really miserable, since I can remember, I haven't encountered such a big disaster" The old owner said while watching, he also wanted to pity these disaster victims, but he didn't have the strength, there was a total of 100 catties of white flour in the car, and he had to keep it for himself.
"Dad, I want to ask you for a favor" At this time, Chu Ming squeezed to the side of the old club and said to him, "What's the matter?" The old boss still had Old Taishan's shelf in front of Chu Ming, "That, isn't there a foreigner who collects antiques for food?" The price he gave is very high, we can make the difference, you help me go to these victims to spread it, just say that I collect antiques, as long as it is a good thing, three catties of white noodles to start, the better the things, the more white noodles I give" Chu Ming said to the old owner, now Chu Ming wants the book "Pei Yuan Gong" very much, but it is a pity, the exchange point is too difficult to get, ordinary calligraphy and painting can only be exchanged for a dozen points, or even a few exchange points, as for porcelain, jade Chu Ming is going to be sold in reality, Chu Ming urgently needs a batch of fine calligraphy and paintings.
"This, this is a good thing, make the difference, but let's just this little white noodles, it's not big enough, what are we going to eat after the exchange?" The old boss didn't agree with Chu Ming's statement, "Oh, it's okay, Dad, didn't I say it, I won't be hungry for you, that foreign devil has people everywhere, we have no food, I'll take the antiques to exchange with him, it's okay, besides, let's go to Zhengzhou in a few days, and we won't be able to eat much" Chu Ming said to the old club.
"Okay, I'll tell you, my old face should still be a little useful, bolt pillar, stop the car" The old owner said to the bolt pillar, after the carriage stopped, the old owner walked towards the homeless team, the old owner is not without purpose to spread, but specifically pick those landlords to spread the old wealth, the old owner's eyes are very powerful, you can see at a glance who is the landlord old wealth, this year he has been robbed by the rebels, other landlords and old wealth are naturally unavoidable.
"I want to eat chocolate, and that kind of cake" Xingxing entangled Chu Ming's body at this time and said to Chu Ming, at the beginning, Xingxing only followed Chu Ming to eat a full meal, but in the past few days, she found that Chu Ming did not have any problems on his body except for being tall and good-looking, revealing the atmosphere of civilization everywhere, saying that Chu Ming had gone abroad and received higher education, Xingxing believed that Xingxing really liked Chu Ming at this time.
"Little gluttonous cat, okay, wait until I go up tonight to change a little bit for you, then let's see if our father can get a good antique" Chu Ming held the little hand of the star and said, the affection between the two of them looked at the young lady was jealous for a while, she also wanted to find another man with the same ability as Chu Ming, as soon as she thought of this, the young lady thought of her lost jewelry box again, and then couldn't help crying again.
"God, how many times have you cried all day and night, crying and crying, you know what to cry, what is there to cry, is it hungry for you, or thirsty for you" The old lady scolded the young lady, these days because of Chu Ming, the young lady has eaten and drunk well, and her body is tough, and the old lady dares to scold her.
"I want to be a man, I want to be a jewelry box," the young lady said aggrievedly, but it attracted a burst of scolding from the old lady.
Half an hour later, the old proprietor really brought several people, these people are still relatively rich in appearance, but the clothes on their bodies are also tattered, and they should have been robbed by the rebels, "Ming, these are the big proprietors, they have suffered from the military disaster, and the food and silver dollars have been robbed, fortunately, those big-headed soldiers don't know good things, so they left some antiques, you see" The old proprietor said to Chu Ming, the meaning is very clear, these people have no choice, they don't want to starve to death and can only trade, Let Chu Ming lower the price.
"Okay, everyone, contemptible Chu Ming, buy all kinds of antique cultural toys, start with a three-pound white flour, the better the thing, the more white noodles, settle it in person! Please come one by one" Chu Ming put on a posture, ready to slaughter these landlords' old wealth ruthlessly, a few catties of white flour in exchange for an antique, put it in the real world, who believes it?
Soon, the transaction was carried out in a burst of ripping, most of the landlord and old wealth in his hands were gold and silver jewelry, jade was more, calligraphy and painting were second, porcelain was the least, that thing was too easy to break after all, after a while, a hundred catties of white flour bottomed out, the old lady was anxious, she was really worried that there was nothing to eat, until the evening, Chu Ming asked Xingxing to help him sort out these antiques, there were more than 20 pieces, Chu Ming said that he went to find the foreigner's eyeliner, and then disappeared with the antiques, The old lady looked at the empty noodle bag and looked sad, tonight's meal has not yet been settled.
In a place where no one was, Chu Ming entered the space with the antique in his arms, "Lao Yin, hurry up and see, if there is any high value!" Chu Ming put all the antiques on the ground and said, "This hosta, as well as this book, and then this Buddhist scripture" Lao Yin quickly selected something that could be exchanged for exchange points, "How much?" Chu Ming asked concisely and clearly, now the exchange point is the most important, there are enough antiques in Chu Ming's hand that cannot be exchanged.
"Twenty points for the hosta, twenty-five points for the Buddhist scriptures, and seventy points for this book," Lao Yin said, "What? What a book, so expensive! Chu Ming was very puzzled, this book didn't even have a cover, if it weren't for the landlord swearing that it must be a good thing, Chu Ming wouldn't have accepted it.
"The manuscript of Wang Yangming's Heart Sutra" The eagle said to Chu Ming, "I'll wipe it...."Chu Ming knows who Wang Yangming's big guy is, that is a big man who can be counted in the entire history of China, and even a person who was once deified.
"Then I sold it to you, can I buy it back?" Chu Ming asked Lao Yin, "Of course, the price remains the same, whatever price I charge, you can buy it back at whatever price, but this manuscript is a second-floor item, you need to open the second-floor before you can redeem it" Lao Yin said to Chu Ming.
"Huh, I'll rest assured, exchange them all, and then I want Pei Yuan Gong" Chu Ming said to Lao Yin, soon, these three things disappeared, Chu Ming had an extra Pei Yuan Gong in his mind, and unlike other exercises, "Pei Yuan Gong" is very simple, just one layer of exercises, after practicing, running "Pei Yuan Gong" can continue to strengthen one's physical fitness, let one's body develop faster and stronger little by little, and can also subtly change one's body, and even change one's cultivation qualifications, and the most powerful thing about "Pei Yuan Gong" is that after cooperating with the cultivation of internal strength, you can make your own internal strength endless, "Pei Yuan Gong" is the most basic spell exercise and the most profound internal strength of the mind, and continuous practice of "Pei Yuan Gong" can make your life longer, live two hundred years old There is no problem at all, and slow down aging, even if you are seventy or eighty years old, it looks like you are only twenty or thirty years old, and you will grow old after you are one hundred and fifty years old.
"Whew, it's amazing" Chu Ming simply ran "Pei Yuan Gong", felt a little change in his body, and couldn't help but admire that this exercise was worth it.
"By the way, I still have a lot of exchange points, see if there are any pills or anything like that, and quickly improve my cultivation" Chu Ming couldn't wait to become a martial arts master, and he wanted to take medicine as soon as he started cultivating.
"I don't recommend you do this," said Lao Yin, "Why?" Chu Ming was a little puzzled, "Think about it, you just cultivated, it is equivalent to a first-level game trumpet, and then you don't wait for yourself to get acquainted with it, just use the upgrade coupon and upgrade to level twenty or thirty with a bang, what is the result?" Don't talk about the twenty or thirty level of gameplay, you don't know the level 1 gameplay, the foundation is very important, don't worry, take your time" Lao Yin said to Chu Ming.
"I understand, I understand, thank you Lao Yin for your advice, then I'll change some defensive things, this world is too dangerous, a gun will cost me a small life" Chu Ming said, looked at the forty points he still had left, and then clicked on the defense menu, "Talisman jade pendant, you can protect yourself three times, the degree of defense can resist the close-range shooting of a sniper rifle, the price is sixty exchange points, good things, but it's a little expensive, and it's a consumable", "Stand-in charm, for the user to resist a mortal attack, The price is two hundred exchange points, my mother, this is the second life, but unfortunately, it's too expensive", "Golden silk soft armor, can effectively resist cold weapon slashing, rifle and pistol shooting, forty exchange points, hey, this is good, but the need will not be too dazzling, and it can't protect the head", "God-given protection, first-level defensive magic, can form an invisible, untouchable, or even invisible, invisible, invisible, and even invisible, can resist an attack, can resist thermal weapons below the rifle, the price is twenty-five points, that's it! Chu Ming exchanged for a god-given protection, and then a piece of talisman paper fell into Chu Ming's hand, and after Chu Ming tore it apart, an invisible film covered Chu Ming's body.
