Chapter 11 The Elders in the Inn
"If you convert it into currency, it should be a total of twenty-nine yuan, and six more bottle caps will come out."
Looking at the old man in front of him who was calculating how much pre-war currency should be given to Hall, He Xi casually reported a number. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When the old man heard this, he raised his head and glanced at He Xi in surprise, probably because he didn't expect his computing ability to be so good.
After calculating, a pair turned out to be twenty-nine yuan and six bottle caps.
The old man put the cap on the bottle back in the drawer on the counter, and at the same time took out a wad of green pre-war currency from his pocket, a wad of dollars.
began to count them one by one in front of Hall, "...... Twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, okay".
The old man put the rest of the dollars back in his pocket and handed Hale twenty-nine dollars and the six extra bottle caps.
"The menu is here, order what you want to eat", after handing the money to Hall, he pointed to a thick notebook by the counter and said.
Although it was Hall who was dealing with him, he could already see that He Xi was the one who nodded in agreement.
He Xi took the notebook and flipped through it a few times, pointed to the pictures on it and asked, "Why are they all paintings, I haven't seen much text since I came here."
"Words? Who is it for, are you" Hearing He Xi's words, the innkeeper grinned at He Xi with his toothless mouth.
"Anyway, where are you from? Volunteers? New California Republic? Brotherhood" said this, the innkeeper suddenly squinted his eyes, slowly stretched his head to He Xi's ear, and whispered in a voice that no one else could hear.
"Or else, the refuge", hearing the innkeeper's words, He Xi's eyes widened, he didn't expect that no one would see through the fact that he was from the refuge, and subconsciously wanted to pull out the three-edged army thorn.
"Hey~ calm down", seeing He Xi's movements, the innkeeper slowly pushed He Xi's hand holding the military thorn down.
Then sat back at the counter, and then said to He Xi, "As for why I know."
Speaking of this, the innkeeper took a sip of tea and said, "Look at your clothes, brand new, you can't see any stitches, this is rare in the wasteland, besides, the average wasteland people are illiterate, and you ask why there are no words as soon as you come up."
"I don't have any malicious intentions, today is purely as an elder educating you, although you are a person before the war, in terms of physical age, you can be regarded as my grandfather's grandfather, but after all, you are still a young person at the psychological age, young people understand, the reason why I educate you today is that I don't want to let a pre-war unknown lose his life."
He Xi heard the innkeeper's words, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, and then before he could say it, he was interrupted by the innkeeper waving his hand, "I know what you want to say, but I have seen a lot of winds and waves, and I haven't encountered anything, today I will teach you these experiences purely to see your eyes, after coming out, if you want to survive in the wasteland, you still have to learn more survival experience, okay, I'll say so much, pay attention to safety when you go upstairs, come and ask me if you have any questions", after speaking, I also helped the glasses that were a little off the bridge of my nose.
He Xi was blocked by the innkeeper's series of words, and after the innkeeper finished speaking, he opened his mouth and found that what he wanted to say had been answered, and the answer was very reasonable.
After thinking for a while, he asked dryly, "How long can this money last?"
The innkeeper looked through the menu on the counter, and then said to He Xi, "According to my lowest standard, ten bottle caps a night, the minimum food is five yuan a piece, only one meal a day, it can be enough for you for fifteen days, go out and turn left and keep walking, and then turn right and you can see a trading market, you can go there to sell something for some money to spend, or you can buy something back, but be careful, don't reveal your identity."
After He Xi heard the boss's words, he handed a full medicine bottle from his bag to the innkeeper, and said, "This thing is used to eliminate radiation, so I will use it as a gift to thank you for educating me."
The boss didn't shirk either, and took the medicine bottle from He Xi's hand with a smile, "Eliminate radiation?" It's worth a lot of money, but that's all I can teach you, and then again, I haven't talked to anyone that much in years, and I'm really tired from talking about it today, so let's go to the upstairs room first."
When He Xi heard this, he answered, and then walked upstairs with the mouse, and when he walked upstairs, he found that the layout of the hotel was the same as that before the war, and a long corridor separated the rooms on both sides.
"It's been a long time since I've seen anyone from the vault, and this kid's luck is much better than mine," said the innkeeper, who read the yellowed book again.
"306, this is it", He Xi looked at the number on the house number and the number on the key, and muttered.
I put the key in the lock hole, and with a "click", the door opened.
After entering, He Xi felt that the room was okay, with yellowed sheets and pillows, only half of the floor-to-ceiling curtains left, and a well-preserved table lamp, he pressed the switch with his hand, and sure enough, there was no reaction at all.
"This TM is a comfort room?" , He Xi couldn't suppress his emotions and roared at Hall.
Hall looked at He Xi, wiped the saliva that He Xi had just squirted out on his forehead, nodded awkwardly, and said, "There are beds, quilts and windows, which are already very comfortable for ordinary people, ordinary people sleep directly with a cloth on top of the wooden board."
Hearing Hall's words, He Xi suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, how could he return to the Republic under such conditions.
Thinking of this, He Xi suddenly slapped himself on the head, how did he ignore the most important thing, and then asked Hall, "By the way, do you know any way to go to the republic."
"To the Republic?"
"Right".
"Impossible", Hall directly and decisively gave He Xi a cold water.
"Why?" , Hearing Hall's words, He Xi clenched his fists and asked him.
"My lord, do you have a map", after hearing He Xi's words, Hall did not answer directly, but asked if He Xi had a map.
"Yes", after speaking, He Xi took out a map of the United States wrapped in plastic film from his bag, and after Hall saw it, he said in admiration, "It's really complete."
This map was specially prepared by He Xi before the Lost Lot, and a compass was also prepared, although now that there is a beep boy, these two things are not needed, but they are still in the bag, just in case, and it really came in handy today.
