Chapter Seventy-One: Blood Diamonds
Zhang Zhendan stayed for a while at the food supply shop in front of the slum, and his appearance quickly attracted many children, and even adults came to ask for food.
A man with clothes as dry as a clay tablet held three diamonds in his hand and pushed away the children surrounding Zhang Zhendan, stretched out his hand and said: "My three diamonds are not small, I want to exchange them for a piece of beef and some bread, if I can give some crystal coins, it would be the best." ”
The three diamonds are colorless, probably more than one carat, and the preliminary estimate should be worth more than 100,000 yuan, but Zhang Zhendan said coldly: "I don't trade with adults, I just want to exchange diamonds with children to be kind enough to give them something to eat." ”
The man was very disappointed and unwilling when he heard this, but he could only leave in a huff.
Zhang Zhendan glanced at the man, who walked straight to the other side of the street and turned into a hidden place, he sneered in his heart, the boss of this Bafang Town is really scheming, and wants to use diamonds to probe some of his situation, but fortunately he is smart enough.
There weren't many diamonds for the children or the poor, and they were basically gone after the last exchange, but this time they were exchanged for a total of nine, but there was a red blood diamond, and it was also a cut product, shining like a stone flower.
The child who brought this diamond was the same thin child who was taken away by the bald man last time, she opened her little hand with extreme caution, and when the diamond appeared, the little children who used the diamond as a toy opened their eyes in surprise, even the toy was the most beautiful of them, and it was the only red diamond among them.
"Yours are beautiful, what's your name?" Zhang Aurora has probably studied diamonds, this kind of red diamond is extremely rare in reality, and the price is ridiculously high, this one is about 3 carats, according to the information on the Internet, his layman's estimate is also above 2.5 million US dollars.
The huge harvest can't be shown, and the people of Bafang Town are trying to find out where he comes from, so they have to disguise themselves as doing good deeds.
"Twigs." The child said with some restraint, with some panic and fear in his eyes.
"Do you have family?" Zhang Zhendan took pity on this child, he felt that he should be a girl, in the terrible post-apocalyptic environment, most of these children were thin and had shoulder-length hair, and they were all wrinkled and embroidered, and it was difficult to easily distinguish between men and women.
Twig nodded.
Zhang Zhendan raised his head and glanced at the slum on the opposite side, and the group of shabby paupers all looked at this place, and they couldn't identify which could be the girl's relatives.
He hesitated and called the girl to the food window and said to the people inside: "Give her a small portion of meat every day, a slice of bread, and two blood strips, and make sure she can eat it here without disturbance." ”
The young man inside hurriedly said: "I understand what adults mean, but my ability is limited, and adults want to ensure that these children's food is not robbed, so they have to say hello to someone." ”
"Who?" Zhang Aurora is not a black-hearted person, these children's diamonds have given him incomparably huge profits, although he can't give more returns openly, but it is necessary to ensure that these children can eat and live every day, especially the poor little branch in front of him.
The young man laughed: "You can find it at the bar on Flea Street, and it is no surprise that I am watching the girl dancing there and getting drunk, and people call him the cell head, and he has an iron chain tied to his arm." ”
"Thank you." Zhang Zhendan took the little girl's first food and handed it to her and said: "You can decide what to do with the blood bar, but the bread and meat must be eaten here, and from today onwards, you can come here every day to eat such a food." ”
"Thank you, sir." The girl held the plate in one hand, grabbed the piece of meat that was only enough for an adult to bite in the other, and hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth and bit it, chewing very quickly, as if she felt that she had not bitten fast enough.
Zhang Zhendan set the badge of five hundred and handed it in: "Each child has an extra bread and a blood bar for each child today, and the rest will be used as food for the twig." ”
"Understand, adults are really good people, these children can finally not go hungry." The young man handed out the badge with admiration.
Zhang Zhendan smiled and left the slum, judging from the map of the town on the green shield, Flea Street is in the southwest, not far from the slum, and close to the rat's nest, which can be said to be the dirtiest and lowest area in Bafang Town.
When I left the main street and walked towards the flea area, I found that it was even more dilapidated, the ground was uneven and looked black, and several dilapidated houses were lined up on the left and right.
Some of these houses have wooden signs hanging in front of them, some hold cloth flags that are so weathered that they don't show any words, and only one has a neon sign with a lamp tube forming the image of a dancing girl, and the lights on that sign can be seen in the dim sky of the last days during the day.
There was a person behind him, who didn't look like a professional stalker, so that he could be easily detected by this Aurora.
Zhang Zhendan glanced at the bar and walked in, it seemed that he had to make another plan to find Ah Jian, Ah Jian was running around, so naturally he wanted to come here, and he would touch the situation here first.
Pushing open the door, it was dark, and only the dance floor in front of it was lit up, and a blink of an eye suited the dim light inside.
Inside, it looked like a mess, the tables and chairs were visibly broken, and the guests were almost all scruffyly dressed drunks, all clutching a large beer mug that was probably made of iron.
The smell is even more unpleasant, damp, rotten and all kinds of peculiar smells are mixed together, which makes people feel worse than the bad breath of the old smoking gun.
"New here, are passers-by still planning to stay in town?" A proprietress in her forties at the bar who was neatly dressed and had deliberately dressed lazily said to Zhang Aurora.
Zhang Zhendan glanced at the wine cabinet at the bar, there were only some dirty old cups on the wine shelf, and three wine barrels of different materials were placed underneath, curious about what else could be made in this last days.
"Passing by to buy something, come here and take a look around, where is the cell boss?"
The proprietress said, "One person sits at the girl's feet, but you have to bring a glass of wine to find the cell boss." ”
"Well, give me a drink." Zhang Aurora found the cell head in the shadow of the light, this guy looked drunk, his sturdy body was lying in a chair, and he felt like he could collapse on the ground at any time.
"A glass of one crystal, you can settle the bill in a while." The proprietress took a large glass of wine that flipped over like the poisonous water foam discharged from the factory's waste water tank.
Zhang Zhendan took the wine glass and smelled it, and felt the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, frowned, and walked to the cell.
There is only one dancer on the dance floor dancing with a steel pole, her dark skin and color feel that she can only give a five, but her legs are long enough, and her clothes are attractive enough, there are two flowers on her chest, and a butterfly under her waist.
He came to him and laid the glass on the table, and found the head of the cell lying in a chair, with a bearded man like a dwarf, and eyes that seemed to wake up and looked at the dancer through the plane of the stage.
"Cell boss, can I sit down?" Zhang Zhendan said.
The cell boss poured the wine glass in his hand into his mouth and poured it into the sky, found that there was no wine, put the wine glass on the table, reached out and grabbed Zhang Zhendan's put it down, and said, "You are lucky, my wine is just finished." ”
Zhang Zhendan smiled and sat down, the cell head felt that his height was only about one and a half meters, but his fingers were unusually thick, and there was a thick iron chain wrapped around his arm, and the leather clothes on his body felt rusty, and he looked a little violent.
