In the dark night, eerie and silent, no pedestrians, no car lights, the long highway stretches into the distance, there is no end in sight, as if swallowed by the darkness, suddenly a black shadow sprang out from the side of the road, and then appeared on the road in a big way, the strange figure and appearance are like a demon who came out of hell, just standing there, without any superfluous movements, but it makes people feel extremely frightened.

"There's a market..."Zheng Wenlou was dressed in a wide black robe, looking up at a few big characters on the roadside signs, the black brothers were close to him, he thought about it for a while, and then decided to go to that place to have a look.

The desert is barren, but the grassland is vast and boundless, and the bright starry sky map slowly unfolds in the night sky, like the sky and the sea.

Zheng Wenlou walked to the south, there were sparse birch trees on the slopes on both sides of the road, and the timid and lovely grassland black line rats shuttled among them, the closer to the city, the more you could see the traces of the existence of human population, and the yurts were seen a lot, full of exotic customs.

There is no bustling business, no deceitful communication, no luxurious dishes, and crowded streets with no people coming and going, this is Zheng Wenlou's impression of the grassland, he used to stay in the reinforced concrete city for a long time, and also yearned for the grassland life, and even fantasized about making money one day, so he took Xiaotong to a self-driving trip to explore the original ecological safari.

Now this wish has come true, but he and Xiaotong can't go back.

Zheng Wenlou looked at the direction of the yurt from a distance, and his mood couldn't help but be a little lonely, where someone built a bonfire, adults and children gathered around to talk and laugh, looking at the costumes seemed to be an autumn outing organized by a school, and the sound of the leading teacher or parents playing musical instruments could be heard.

"It's enough for me to have Xiaotong, what else can I hope for?" Zheng Wenlou muttered, thinking about the bits and pieces with Xiaotong, he couldn't help but smile, and then turned around and walked towards the darkness.

Half an hour later, he followed the signs and came to a place called the Latanka Livestock Market.

This is a small country market, the kind of meeting place for the common people of the nearby towns on the fifteenth day of the new year, mainly selling cattle, sheep and horses and other livestock, and along the edge of the market are all food stalls, and there are also places to sell agricultural products and game, not the kind of vegetable market in the big city.

This kind of market is almost not managed, only a few yuan of rent will be charged symbolically, there is no cement irrigation building around, looking at the past are all stalls built with bamboo poles and rotten tarpaulins, there are no doors, this kind of three-regardless market in the more remote areas of Inner Mongolia There are many, usually on a specific day will bring things to sell, sell out and leave, the family economy is good and even drive a tricycle over, the car to the side of the road, it is a stall.

.........

.........

"Who took the name of this place... Looking for a pump?"

There was no one in the huge market, which made Zheng Wenlou's face darken, especially the two wooden poles used to act as gates actually hung a banner that read "The largest livestock market in Latanka".

It's just spicy for the eyes!

He thought it would be a serious market, at least there was a commissary for him to patronize, but now, let alone the figures, there was not even hair, and there were worthless stalls and wooden stakes used to tie cattle and sheep everywhere.

Zheng Wenlou shook his head, and reluctantly walked out of the woods on the edge of the market, this livestock market that sells a large number of cattle and sheep occupies a large area, located in the suburbs, and the environment is dark, and he is not afraid of being seen.

Zheng Wenlou did not go to the main entrance, because this place does not even have a wall, the gate is purely an ornament, I am afraid that the thieves will not look down on here, the stall owner has already taken away the valuable things when he goes back, and it is strange that the thief can see a few rotten chairs.

Of course, there are still some things that are valuable, such as two large iron pots in a stall selling cooked food, but this thing has been stuck on the stove with cement, and the cement is so thick that any thief will scold his mother when he sees it.

Zheng Wenlou looked at a few big iron pots, with this thing, he can boil water and cook a lot easier, but when he looks at the cement, he can only praise the stall owner in his heart for being a talent, and then dispel the idea.

"There's really nothing. ”

Zheng Wenlou wandered around the market with a depressed expression, hoping to find something useful, the black brothers had been following behind, they were curiously flipping through all kinds of things they had never seen, but as soon as Zheng Wenlou walked away, they hurriedly chased after them.

The dark night is the best disguise, Zheng Wenlou wandered around the market generously, rummaging through the boxes, and could smell the smoky smell left by poultry everywhere, and the effort paid off, and he still found a few useful things.

The whetstone found in the two corners, a rusty firewood knife hidden under the bed board, I don't know who usually sleeps here, and a heavy sledgehammer, made of iron throughout, with a long handle more than a meter long, this is Zheng Wenlou pulled out of the enclosure where livestock are kept, if it weren't for his good eyes, he really wouldn't have found this hidden hammer.

Even so, the end of the hammer was still welded with an iron ring, and the iron ring was connected to the iron cable and locked on the wooden stake, but this was not difficult for Zheng Wenlou, he kicked more than a dozen feet, and broke the wooden stake that was thick as an adult's thigh, and the hammer easily fell into his hands.

"Huh, what's on it?"

Zheng Wenlou found that a stall was used to shelter from the rain on the tarpaulin put on something flat, he walked over and reached out and took it down, this position would not be visible to ordinary people at all, but he now has a height of more than four meters, and he noticed it with a sweep of his eyes.

.........

.........

"It turned out to be a dustpan. ”

Zheng Wenlou showed a look of regret on his face, but he still took down seven or eight dustpans with his hands and feet, chatting is better than nothing, and it can be used to dry things in the future, and I don't know which careless stall owner forgot to take it back, but it is more likely that the dustpan is worthless and hides here.

Zheng Wenlou kept searching, and everything that caught his eye would be collected, and he even dismantled a shelf buried in the concrete floor, because this shelf was made of stainless steel, and it behaved like a devil entering the village.

"It's a bit of a hassle, but with a hammer, you can bring a pot back. ”

Zheng Wenlou laughed with a sledgehammer, and at this time he found himself unconsciously walking outside the market.

Outside the market, there is nothing to scavenge, this place is full of rotten vegetable leaves, even bad fruits, the ground is dirty, and it has not been cleaned in a hurry, presumably it belongs to the place where the vegetable vendors set up their stalls.

"Dish?" Suddenly thinking of something, Zheng Wenlou's eyes froze, and then showed a bitter and self-deprecating smile.

"I didn't expect that one day, I, Zheng Wenlou, would go to the market to pick up vegetables to eat. ”

Zheng Wenlou looked at the leftovers and rotten leaves all over the ground, his heart was like a knife, and a sad emotion couldn't help but come to his heart.

The biggest purpose of his trip was to find food for Xiao Tong, because Xiao Tong had reached the age of weaning, and it was no longer enough to just drink fresh milk, otherwise he would not have left the Tree Man Valley.

From beginning to end, he put safety first, but what could he do without food? Can he conjure it up by himself? Let Xiaotong eat meat directly? The baby's stomach can't digest it at all.

"Xiaotong, Dad owes you..."

Zheng Wenlou's voice was a little choked, he held back his tears and picked up the vegetable leaves on the ground, and then found a sack and put them all in, he picked up a lot, green onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, carrots, corn kernels, bad taro, etc., all of which were thrown away by the vegetable sellers, and there was a little bit of everything in the vegetables, and even he picked up the fruit cores that others ate leftover.

Zheng Wenlou was a little glad that he came out tonight, otherwise in a few days, these things would be completely rotten.

He picked up a little bit of each species, and it was not too dirty, and put a small half sack in it, intending to take it back and cultivate it again. Feeling that it was almost there, he immediately walked towards the chicken coop he had just seen.

There's a lot of rice falling on the ground, what is this, this is rice!

Xiaotong's food can be less than anything, but not rice.

Take Xiaotong, let her grow up healthy and healthy, what is this self-esteem.
