Chapter 1 The Road
Feng Longsheng sat behind the counter, lifted the copper kettle full of pits to the stove and sat on the fire, took out a paper bag from under the counter, opened it, and carefully put some oil tea into the cup, and the tea stalk smashed at the bottom of the cup and clanged, as if he knew that he would be scalded with boiling water for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After working hard all summer, and venting the embers out fiercely in the autumn tiger, the sun is tired, lazily shining on the earth, dispelling the darkness, but there is no way to make the temperature in early winter rise a little more, heating can only rely on the stove, but it is easy to get frostbite after roasting for a long time, in this era, winter is the most difficult.
There were a few pieces of jerky with a strong smell on the counter, this was a "sample", but if any fool wanted to buy it, Feng Longsheng wouldn't mind selling it.
You can find all kinds of people in this place, but you can't find fools, because fools can't survive here, they are all dead.
Feng Lutou hoped that there would be more fools in Shangyi Road, but this hope was very slim, and he also hoped that the group of people who walked in the night before would leave as soon as possible, but they would not leave until they had enough guards, and this hope was also very slim.
Only a fool would leave this ruined street with them, leave this ruin, mutant creatures don't like ruins made of steel and concrete, they will encounter it when they go out, and their destination is far away, how much danger must be encountered along the way?
"There are two women...... Feng Longsheng thought so, and he only dared to think about it, because they were a group of wolf cubs that could not be provoked.
"Tsk, water spirit! I've never seen a woman so white, and if I could touch it, it would be worth it in my life! ”
As if to echo his thoughts, the jackal, who was squatting not far from the door, also began to talk about the hottest topic of the past two days, in such a place where there is an extreme lack of women, a woman's appearance will not be evaluated, because it is excellent anyway, and no one cares about beauty or ugliness - just a woman.
"yes." The dog tooth on the side was also sighing: "It's like a porcelain man, and I don't know if I will get my teeth when I bite it." ”
Feng Longsheng's sentence "Roll the calf" just went from the abdominal cavity to his throat, and suddenly he heard the jackal's leg say: "Huh? Haven't seen it, newcomer? ”
"That's a good cloak, I want it......" Dogtooth snorted.
"What's the hurry?" The jackal stood up: "Didn't you see this way?" In case it is someone Feng Lutou knows, you still want a fart, go, talk to Brother Kang first, and see what he thinks. ”
This is the "road", the remnants of the streets that can still live in the ruins of the city, the place where the fish and dragons are mixed, if there is a strong enough background or strength, this is the road of no return, Huangquan Road.
Feng Longsheng cleared his throat and sat upright, his eyes flashing with greed.
…………
This is indeed a newcomer, a young man in his twenties, with a pale complexion, his hair is a little messy by the wind, and his two sword eyebrows are neatly drawn as if they were drawn with a brush, and the tips of his eyebrows are sharply closed, very pointed, and exude a coldness.
He wore an old, clean dark blue cloak, knee-length, covering most of his body, but his two arms were exposed, and his left arm was wrapped in a bandage, which was wrapped from his fingertips all the way into the cloak, and he was carefully wound, and there was no blood on the bandage, and he didn't know what kind of secret was hidden underneath.
There was still a bandage on his left arm, but his right arm was completely exposed, in this cold day, Feng Longsheng couldn't help but shrink his neck just when he saw it, he looked like he was fine.
In his right hand he held a broken knife, the blade was half missing, it looked like a straight blade, but the blade was beautiful, it was a matte gray, with a beautiful Muhammad pattern on it, the smelting technique of Damascus steel had long been lost, and this knife must have been picked up in some ruin.
The most impressive thing is the young man's gaze, calm as an old man who has experienced vicissitudes, and like a baby who has just woken up.
Walking into the store, he glanced at the jerky on the counter, seemed a little dissatisfied, frowned slightly, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Here's a sample." Feng Longsheng hurriedly said: "Good things can't be left outside to freeze, they are all stored in the house." ”
The young man was relieved, walked to the counter, and asked, "A lot?" ”
The voice was somewhat low and magnetic for his age.
"Many! Of course, there is only one store on the whole road, and I can find you any meat you want, depending on whether you have good things to exchange. Feng Longsheng patted his chest and reassured.
The young man nodded, withdrew his left hand into his cloak, pulled out a flat wooden box, opened the lid, and placed it on the counter.
Feng Longsheng's pupils narrowed suddenly.
There are a lot of small grids in the box, and there are round small stones in the small grid, the surface is uneven, very similar to walnuts, the largest diameter is about one centimeter, the smallest is less than five millimeters, there are three kinds of white, red and black, the grid is not filled, but the small stones add up to more than 20, of which the white ones are the most, the red ones are second, and the black ones are only three in total.
Feng Longsheng has seen a lot of stones, but after living for so long, it is the first time he has seen so many stones at one time, this is the stone in the brain of mutant creatures, it is not easy to get stones, either kill the mutant creatures, or be extremely lucky to find the corpse of the mutant creatures, and only get them after breaking the skull.
Not to mention meat, these twenty or so stones can change the hands of this street and everyone on the street, and one black stone alone is enough to exchange everything in the storeroom.
"Is this a fool?" Feng Longsheng glanced up at the young man, a fool would show so many stones to others.
But he immediately rejected the idea again, citing the young man's gaze.
can be the leader of the road for so many years, Feng Longsheng is not a simple person, he has seen everything, most of them have also experienced it, and even done it himself, but he actually has some indescribable cringe under the gaze of this young man, and he can't give birth to the slightest heart to swallow stones, but is full of vigilance and uneasiness.
After thinking about it, Feng Lutou cleared his throat and said: "I only take you a pair of light stones, a pair of hot stones and a vibrating stone, you can pick and choose the things in the inner room, take as many as you want, take as much as you want, take as much as you want, you can't take it, you can stay inside and eat before leaving." ”
"Okay." The young man nodded again, took out two white, two red, and one black stones and placed them on the counter, and put the box back into his cloak.
Feng Longsheng picked up the five stones, swallowed his saliva, pointed to a small door behind the counter and said, "It's inside, go get it yourself, there are still a few bags in the corner, you're welcome." ”
The young man silently walked in the door, and after a while he came out with a large yellow bag on his back, which was bulging with a lot of things, but the things he took away were only about a tenth of the inner room, and he still carried the short knife in his right hand, and in his left hand he also held a piece of smoked muntjac meat about the thickness of an adult's upper arm, which seemed to be ready to be eaten immediately.
He didn't say hello to Feng Longsheng, he walked straight to the outside of the store, looked left and right, and entered an alley.
It is said to be an alley, but this is actually a narrow passage between the remnant wall and the collapsed building.
Feng Longsheng noticed that every step of the young man took the same distance, just like measuring with a ruler, but the movements were not stiff at all, but unusually smooth, as if they would not bump into each other even if they walked head-on, but would be like a light breeze, blowing against the body.
"It's not easy." The vicious-eyed roadhead made such an assessment.
…………
Not long after the young man walked out, a tall, vicious-looking middle-aged man walked in, and the raised word "chase" on the left corner of his forehead was shiny red.
"Eviction" refers to a person who has been expelled from the city for committing a serious crime or repeatedly committing a crime, and has a scar engraved on his forehead with the word "chase", and is generally not allowed to return to the city, but can only live in ruins; The descendants of the displaced people, known as "displaced people", are able to return to the cities, but often do not find a livelihood or shelter, so most of them choose to continue living on such roads.
The man who came in asked in a thick voice, "Old Lutou, he has no origins, right?" ”
A trace of imperceptible anger flashed in Feng Longsheng's eyes, and he felt more and more that this descendant named Zeng Kang was disgusting, this person was rushing to the current head of the road, speaking politely at all, without the slightest respect, and always calling him the head of the old road, as if he was calling his predecessor, and as if reminding him that he was old and it was time to retreat.
"I'm not sure." Feng Longsheng suddenly had an idea and said: "I can be sure that he has no background, but I don't know what his strength is, and he only said three words in total after entering the store." ”
"Three words?" Zeng Kang was stunned for a moment: "Which three?" ”
"'Lot' and 'good.'" Feng Longsheng had reservations, he did not directly instigate Zeng Kang to embarrass the young man, lest Zeng Kang come to him again to settle accounts after surviving from the young man; Nor did he say anything about how he felt about the young man, or about the box of stones.
Although the stones are tempting, Zeng Kang can become a strong candidate for the next head of the road, naturally he will not be a simple reckless man, knowing that the other party is a person with a box of stones, he is likely not to dare to provoke.
"A lot of reconciliation?" Zeng Kang frowned and thought for a while, unable to imagine the scene when the young man said these three words, and left the store without saying hello to Feng Longsheng.
"The current offspring, tsk, is so rude." The corners of Feng Longsheng's mouth hooked up into a smile, and his fingers kept rubbing on a stone.
…………
Squatting under the wall, the young man ate the smoky muntjac meat slowly, his cloak covering his feet as well, only his head and arms were exposed, his left arm did not show an inch of skin, and his right arm became more and more pale in the cold wind.
The broken knife is leaning beside you, and if it is broken anyway, you don't have to worry about the tip of the knife being worn.
His eating posture is very bold, grabbing the big meat and eating it directly, but the eating appearance is very gentle, always tearing off a strip and chewing carefully, chewing very trivially, as if he wants to squeeze out every trace of nutrition in the food, there is no shortage of food, if you can tolerate the strange taste, the meat of mutated creatures can also be eaten, but that is only for ordinary people.
Many legs appeared in front of him, enclosing him like an extremely thick iron fence, and he was still squatting and chewing, and his expression did not change in the slightest.
"Boy, you've got a nice cloak." Zeng Kang looked down at him and said with a strange smile.
"Thank you." The young man did not look up, swallowed the food in his mouth, thanked him, and tore off a small piece of meat to chew carefully.
Zeng Kang was stunned, this thank you was a little flat, but the tone not only did not give people a perfunctory feeling, but revealed a sense of sincerity.
