Chapter 40: Priceless Treasure

"Why don't you eat sugar?" I said to the little girl.

"I'll keep it for my dad." The little girl said timidly.

"Come, uncle will give you another one, you eat one, and leave one for your father, how about it?" I said with a smile.

"Then I'll keep my dad and come back and eat together." The little girl happily took the candy and said.

"Where's your mother?" I asked.

"I don't have a mother," said the little girl, as her father returned.

"Who are you?" The girl's father said, pulling the girl in front of him.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to give you a job." I said to the girl's father.

"Hmph, you rich people, will suddenly pity us poor people? Put away your wicked heart and go. The girl's father said.

"If you don't want to continue to let your daughter go hungry with you and look for me in the tobacco shop at the crossroads, the world has changed, there are no rich people, only those who dare to find a way out." I stood up and said as I walked out the door.

Just visiting a family, I have basically grasped the mentality of these refugees, they are still living before the end of the world, it is useless to continue to visit, the child is still holding traditional ideas, unless he himself figured it out and came to me, otherwise he will not be willing to help me do things.

I didn't stay in the refugee area any longer, but went directly to the cigarette shop, the brothers in the store had already set up, even the three girls also came, everyone put a few tables in front of the store, for the time being, even if it was a container, now just wait for the city to supply electricity, try our cigarette machine.

Tan Jingwen and Ding Wei are studying how to operate in front of the cigarette machine and packaging machine at the moment, three scientists and a returnee doctor, reduced to the study of counterfeit cigarettes, it is a little funny to think about it, and the idea of the little girl's father makes me feel even more funny.

I walked straight to the owner of the weapons shop, and the owner was very happy to see me, serving tea and snacks, which can be regarded as the highest level of treatment in the last days.

"How? Is there any new arrival? I asked.

"Thanks to you, there are indeed some good things again, you and I please." Said the owner of the weapons shop.

"Yo, you don't have a hole here, do you?" I asked, standing up.

The shopkeeper smiled and welcomed me to the inner room, which is much larger than the storefront, and there are a lot of all kinds of things, and there is actually the same big knife of the second master.

"Wife, go out and have a look at the store." The shopkeeper said to his wife.

When his wife went out, I asked, "Okay, don't fix these mysterious things, if there are any good things, don't hide them, just take them out." ”

"This is really a good thing, if it weren't for a big customer like you, I really wouldn't be willing to take it out." The shopkeeper said.

"Come on, come on, hurry up, aren't you afraid that others won't be able to afford it?" I said impatiently.

The shopkeeper smiled and stopped talking, came to a cabinet, took down a long brocade box, opened it and handed it to me.

"Whitches? I don't want this thing. I said angrily.

"No, boss, this is a Tang knife, it's an antique, it is said to be forged by a master, sharpening iron like clay, don't believe me, try to show you." The shopkeeper said.

As the shopkeeper spoke, he found a piece of threaded steel bar, put it on two chairs, drew the knife out of the sheath and cut it off, and the threaded steel bar fell to the ground in two with a bang.

"Hehe!" I couldn't help but exclaim.

I stepped forward to pick up the two pieces that fell to the ground, only to see that the incision was smooth and smooth, and then look at the blade, there was no damage at all, this is a treasure knife, if this is used to cut zombies, isn't it as simple as cutting watermelon?

"Make an offer!" I said to the shopkeeper.

The owner of the weapons shop didn't speak, but held out five fingers, looked at me and smiled.

"Five pounds of rice?" I asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head.

"Five kilograms of rice?" I then asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head.

"Don't say you want fifty kilograms of rice, you're a little darker, aren't you?" I said.

"How can it be, I want you to be fifty pounds, twenty-five kilograms." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Lao Tzu gave ten crossbows and ten guns and bullets, and it was only five kilograms of rice, and you asked me for twenty-five kilograms of rice for this knife, and you still said that you were not black?" I yelled.

"Boss, you are angry, this is a real baby, I will notify you as soon as possible if there is any good thing in the future, and everything you buy from me in the future will be 50% off, so it will be okay, right?" Said the owner of the weapons shop.

"No, it's too expensive, cheaper." I said.

"To tell you the truth, I received this treasure knife from 20 kilograms of rice, and you are also a regular customer, how much more can you add?" Said the owner of the weapons shop.

"Then twenty kilograms of rice, sell it, if you don't sell it, forget it, I'll see who buys it." I put it this way.

This slippery boss, as soon as he said this, I knew that twenty kilograms of rice was his bottom line, maybe he only gave ten kilograms when he collected the knife, even if it is a family heirloom, it is not strange to exchange it for rice when he is hungry to death.

"Oh, how much more do you add?" Said the owner of the weapons shop.

"It's just 20 kilograms, and if you sell it, you don't have to sell it." I said impatiently.

In fact, I really want this knife, and I have a truck of rice and flour grain, and I have been bargaining for fear that he will raise prices indiscriminately in the future, and my rice is not blown by the wind, I took my brothers to fight for their lives.

"Okay, okay, twenty kilograms is twenty kilograms, you take it." Said the owner of the weapons shop.

"I don't want the box, I'll have someone send it to you in a while, remember what you said." I said to the shopkeeper.

As I spoke, I pinned the Tang knife directly to my waist, and instantly felt like I had returned to ancient times, and I wanted to bring a knife to the guard, anyway, no one cared about the knife and gun on the street.

"What did I say?" The weapon shop owner asked, confused.

"You say, in the future, I will be here with you, you will give me a 5% discount on everything you buy, and you will notify me as soon as there are any good things." I said word for word.

"Yes, you are amazing, I have never seen such a good bargaining buyer, I am convinced, okay, all 50% off, just for you." The owner of the weapon shop said with a smile.

"Gone." I walked out of the weapons store without looking back.

Carrying a bow on his back, with a large Tang knife of nearly one meter pinned to his waist, swaggering on the street, people in the past are far away from me, if this is before the apocalypse, people must think that I am a psychopath, but now it is different, this equipment is enough to show that I crawled out of the sea of corpses, and the people around me are afraid of me.

As soon as I returned to the store, the first person who noticed the Tang knife on my waist was Tan Jingwen.

"Big brother, can you show me this knife?" Tan Jingwen's voice trembled a little and said.

"Yo? You still understand this, open your eyes. As I spoke, I pulled out the scabbard and handed it to Tan Jingwen.

Tan Jingwen carefully looked at the knife in his hand, and his two scientist friends also participated, and the three of them excitedly carefully examined every trace on the scabbard.

"What's so nice about the scabbard, pull it out and see." As I spoke, I snatched the Tang knife and pulled out the knife.

"Big brother, where did you get this knife?" Tan Jingwen's excited voice trembled a little.

"The weapon shop exchanged rice for it, oh yes, send me twenty kilograms of rice to the weapon shop owner." As I spoke, I said to one of my brothers.

The brother hadn't gone far yet, and Tan Jingwen then asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"How is it possible, just this one." I said smugly.

"Big brother, are you crazy? Twenty kilograms of rice to buy a knife? Long Jiu said.

"It's worth a hundred kilograms, a thousand kilograms, and ten thousand kilograms." Tan Jingwen said.

"It's still Lao Tan who knows the goods, Long Jiu, bring a steel bar, I'll let you see if it's worth it." I said.

Tan Jingwen was still in the fugue, and I had already put the steel bar between the two tables, and slashed at the steel bar with a swing of the knife.

"Don't..."With Tan Jingwen's ghostly cry, the steel bar also broke in response.

"Damn, so powerful?" The crowd around exclaimed in unison.

"Big brother, this is a priceless treasure!" Tan Jingwen was so excited that he was about to cry.

"That's just right, it's best to use it to cut zombies." I said with a smile.

"So far, our country has only unearthed a Tang knife, and it has rotted badly, and the other well-preserved Tang knives are in the Sakura Country Museum, and they are regarded as a national treasure, this one in your hand, I am afraid it is the only one that survives." Tan Jingwen said with tears in his eyes.

"If all the people are dead, who will be left with these things?" I put away my smile and said to Tan Jingwen.

"But..."Tan Jingwen was about to say something, but I waved his hand to interrupt him.

"I know you old scholars attach great importance to these things, but if this knife is really so valuable as you said, it should play its role even more, and one day when we are stable and have our own team, I will take you to the cherry blossom country and snatch our national treasure back." I said to Tan Jingwen.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to that day." Tan Jingwen said excitedly.

"Okay, okay, don't stand in a daze, what should you do." I said to the crowd.

"The three of you go home and get some food and steamed buns, I'm hungry." I said to the third girl.

"You think we don't have a heart? We're here when we're ready. Ruonan said.

"Then let's just eat here, this place is spacious enough, it should be called right away." I said to the crowd.

My decision was unanimously passed, Long Jiu took people back to Xiaolou to get food, Lu Yang led people to move the car and supplies to the warehouse, and Wu Jun rearranged the people who were on guard.

It used to be a small building, but now it is a shop and a warehouse, and there is indeed a shortage of manpower, and I don't know when the people on the other side of the refugee camp will figure it out.

When it was completely dark, all our wine, food and steamed buns were set up in the store, and the city began to be electrified, and a large group of people directly gathered around the two tables, and were about to drink to celebrate, when a man in tattered clothes came from outside the store.

Long Jiu was just about to step forward and chase him, but I stopped him, because this person I knew was the father of the little girl in the refugee camp.
