Chapter 35: Urban Life
CHAPTER XXXV
Chubby and I sat without talking, weighing the pros and cons of each other, but Miao probably saw our hesitation, took out a wad of cash from the desk drawer, slapped it on the table with a "snap", and said to me and Chubby with a smile: "This is a little thought, you two can think about it slowly." ”
"Now in this world, you have a fart for money." Chubby leaned back on the sofa, seemingly disdainful of the money.
"You're talking about the outside world, in this S City, as before, money can solve a lot of problems." Miao spread her hands and raised her eyebrows and said to the two of us.
As soon as Chubby heard this, he immediately sat up straight, staring at the not-so-thin pile of cash, and then looked at me again, as if asking for my opinion. "What do you think I'm doing? I want to take it myself. "I ignored him. Chubby hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and immediately picked up the cash on the table.
"Don't do it in vain, but you're not going to throw us so much money and put us in prison here and can't spend it, right?" Chubby voiced another doubt.
"How can I say that I am imprisoned, I have never said that I want to restrict your personal freedom." Miao saw that Xiaopang took the money, and then looked at me again, "Then Mr. Huo, what do you think?" ”
"That's it, farewell." My mind was a little confused at this time, I didn't know what to do, I just wanted to go out to breathe and organize my thoughts, so I got up and walked out the door.
"Huh! Wait a minute! There's a mobile phone device here, so you can stay with you and be in touch at all times. I looked back, Miao took out a more compact device from the drawer, I nodded and motioned for Chubby to get it, and walked straight out of the office.
Out of the door, take a deep breath, found that the air is not very good, look around, here is still relatively open, there are a lot of open space, only a few buildings, from the docked military green pickup trucks, jeeps and helicopters, this is undoubtedly a military region, but I don't know how large this military region is, I can't see it for a while.
"Huo Jia, let's agree like this, right?" Chubby chased me out and asked.
"What a promise, I didn't promise." I don't think I agreed.
"Then we're taking the woman's money, and the intercom device." Chubby shook the wad of cash and devices in front of me.
"You took it all, don't get involved with me." I pouted.
"Alas, I said you guy, I got the money well, but at least you asked me to take this intercom device, right?" Seeing that I wanted to play Laipi, Chubby was a little anxious.
"Okay, okay, let's put it in advance, let's go for a walk now, and we're bored here." I shoved the wad of cash and devices back into Chubby's arms and asked him to go for a walk with me.
"What? Can't wait to get started in the city? Chubby picked up his things, looked around, and after a while said to me, "There! It should be the gate over there! Let's go out first. So he trotted away.
……
After I left the military region, I walked about a few kilometers, the surroundings are still deserted, only a few bustling cars speeding past us, this ghost place a highway to the end, no end can be seen, I don't know how far to go to the city, Xiaopang stopped at this time, forced to stop a big truck in the middle of the road, forced the driver to take us a ride.
I learned from the driver's mouth that he was pulling goods, responsible for transporting some materials to the military region, sometimes if he was busy, he had to run several times a day, this military region was indeed a little far away from the city, and it was still not feasible to walk, and he could walk for 5 or 6 hours.
After the big truck entered the city, I obviously felt that the population began to dense, and many people on the street were talking, shopping, shopping, etc., looking vibrant and harmonious, mainly because I had not been to this so-called city, and the one I went to before could only be regarded as a dead city, and this could not be compared at all, not to mention that there were big living people everywhere, and it made me feel novel, they were much more "cute" than those terrifying and disgusting bug monsters.
Not long after, the big truck stopped next to a store on the side of the road, I saw that this store is selling hardware and groceries, the area is still a little large, and there are a lot of goods. The driver told us that we were going to enter the city center before we went, and that large trucks were generally not allowed, and that we had to go by ourselves.
As soon as I heard this, I had to get out of the car, but Xiaopang simply took out a piece of cash and stuffed it to the driver, and the driver smiled bitterly: "Fat brother, to be honest, dragging you so far, this money is not enough for my fuel bill." Chubby whistled, pretended not to hear, and dragged me to the city center.
The city center is really lively, there are several times more people than before, not to mention, the shops on the street are even more varied, all kinds of snacks and drinks are greedy for little fat saliva flow, has been buying this and that, the mouth has never stopped, I saw him like this, I couldn't help but say: "You eat like this, not to mention whether it will hurt your stomach, how long is this money enough for you to spend?" "Uh......h It's impossible to eat a bad stomach, money, things outside the body, and continue to care about the woman's needs. "Chubby is very open-minded, and I am a little skeptical now, whether the woman knows that Chubby likes to be greedy and cheap, and deliberately takes money to buy him.
In this way, Chubby and I stopped and walked along the way, and bought delicious food when we met it, and my stomach couldn't hold up after a while, but Chubby was still happy to buy and eat.
At this moment, there was a commotion in front of us, and I saw a group of people standing in a circle, as if looking at something.
"Chubby, there's a situation ahead, go take a look." I pulled Chubby forward. After squeezing through the crowd, I saw that a middle-aged man was holding a little boy and didn't let go, and the middle-aged man kept saying that he had words in his mouth, "You little, you've been running out to play for a long time!" Don't go home yet! The little boy hit and kicked the middle-aged man, and he probably couldn't break free, so he simply bit down, and the middle-aged man screamed in pain, then pinched the bitten hand and jumped up and down, and the little boy was able to escape.
After the little boy escaped, he ran straight in the direction of me and Chubby, and Chubby threw down the snack in his hand when he saw this, and lifted the little boy up.
"Little brat, it's not right to be playful, go back with your family." Chubby said to the little boy, "Let go of me!" Let me go! I don't have any family! The little boy was caught again and punched and kicked again, but Chubby kept an eye on it and easily dodged the little boy's punches and kicks.
"Hehe, thank you for this strong man, this kid is so skinny, he always likes to run outside." With that, the middle-aged man stared at the little boy fiercely, picked him up from the little fat hand, and prepared to leave.
I always felt that something was wrong, and I just wanted to speak, but Chubby said before me: "Hey! You wait! ”
