There is no universal currency in the land outside the law, everyone is used to bartering, of course, if it is inconvenient to carry a large bag of things on your back all day and exchange with people, then you can still steal, you can also rob, if you have intelligence, you can cheat, anyway, there are too many means to get things, "exchange" is the stupidest.

The turtledove and the little worm deeply agreed with this, they didn't come to Candy City to be happy, or they didn't plan to exchange things with those local snakes in the city, they came to "smooth" things.

Food, water, it's best to be able to "Shun" some weapons and ammunition or something, although guns and other things can't be eaten, but you can exchange them with others in the future, so overall, they are still quite good at living, at least in the long run.

It seems that every town outside the law has a similar architectural style, the only difference is the size, and the turtledove and the worm pass the roadblock after a simple interrogation, at the cost of a few boxes of canned food.

In their opinion, canned food or something can be earned back sooner or later, the most important thing at the moment is to enter the candy city, if you are stopped at the roadblock, it will be stupid, - there is a return on investment, and both turtledoves and insects understand this truth.

……

Unhindered to the city, Turtledove found the public parking lot as before, and got out of the car, and was just about to go over to discuss with the worm what to do next, when Turtledove saw a little boy from a distance, and hurried from the other side of the street to the parking lot, and got under the tray of one of the cars.

"What's wrong?"

The little worm walked up to the turtledove's side, followed his gaze for a long time, and didn't see a reason, so he asked suspiciously.

The turtledove pointed to the car, and the little worm took a closer look, and immediately saw the little boy under the car, a yellow man, with very messy hair, eleven or twelve years old, and his clothes were dirty, like a mud monkey.

In a short time, several large men with weapons in their arms rushed out of a small alley in the distance, and they looked around, as if they were looking for someone. The surrounding pedestrians dodged one after another, and those who couldn't dodge would be surrounded by those big men, glaring and asking something.

Soon, a group of big men scared away all the pedestrians on the street, and only the turtledoves and small insects were left nearby, and one of them, a fat white man, came to them, dangling the steel pipe in his hand, and asked the turtledove:

"Do you see a child?"

Looking over the shoulders of the big man, the turtledove could see the child who was still lying under the car, the other party looked at the turtledove, and the turtledove was also looking at him, and after a while, the turtledove replied to the other party:

"I don't see it."

The little boy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't see that?"

The white man didn't intend to let the turtledove go like this, he weighed the steel pipe in his hand, and asked the turtledove, "I didn't see why you hesitated for so long?" ”

"I'm scared by you," Ikaruga said sincerely, just like the real thing, "there are so many of you, and this posture is again, and I am relatively timid and speechless when I am nervous." ”

Hearing the turtledove say that she was timid, the little worm next to her wanted to laugh, but she knew that it was best not to laugh at this time, so as not to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, after all, they still had business to do.

The white man narrowed his eyes, still not going to leave.

"Dang!"

The steel pipe in his hand slammed into the hood of another car, and the white man took a fierce step forward and said to the turtledove condescendingly:

"Let me ask you one last time, did you see a child?"

The movement on this side attracted the rest of the men on the other side of the street, and they surrounded the turtledove and the little worm like a wall, and even the sun was blocked by them.

"I really don't see any children," Ikaruga played an actor-level performance, and his panicked appearance can be written into a textbook, "I'm just a small businessman who came here from other places to resell honey, and I don't want to cause trouble." ”

Turtledove thought very clearly, he must make up a reason for himself to come to Candy City, no one will appear in this place for no reason, it just so happens that at this time, the cacti in the fields outside the city are about to bloom, and many people will come here to exchange for honey, and then go to other towns to exchange for other things, and earn the difference.

"Yes," the white man took another step forward, his thick chest hair almost touching the turtledove's body, "tell me, what is the usual price of our cactus honey here?" ”

Turtledove suddenly felt a little regretful, because how could he possibly know what price a bullshit cactus honey should usually sell for, and he had never done this business.

Seeing that the other party was about to see through his lies, the turtledove's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly thought about it, and heard him say: "My small business is also just planning to open this year, and it is still in its infancy." ”

As soon as this passage was finished, even the turtledove himself could not help but applaud himself, - this is called wit!

"Hmph."

The white man sneered, he grabbed the turtledove's collar with one hand, lifted the turtledove in front of him, and said: "All the honey business in the candy city is under the management of our boss, didn't you say that you want to buy some honey here, then you tell me, what is the name of our boss, if you really come to do this business, it is impossible not to call his name." ”

"This ......"

The turtledove was dumbfounded by the question, and the white man bent down slightly, the tip of his nose slightly against the tip of the turtledove's nose, and said, "I'll give you one last chance, where is that little boy." ”

"Calvin," Worm stepped out from behind, meeting the white man's gaze and answering the question, "Your boss's name is Calvin, isn't it?" ”

The white man let go of the hand that was holding the turtledove, and took the turtledove with him, and he stared at the insect viciously, and then at the turtledove, and finally pointed at the insect and said:

"Be careful with me in the city, don't let me get caught."

After speaking, the white man led the rest of the strong men out of here, and before leaving, he did not forget to look at the turtledove and the little worm twice, and remembered their appearance in his mind.

"Whew."

The turtledove shook his shoulder, and he turned his face to look at the worm and asked:

"How do you know their boss is Calvin?"

"I can't stand you," the worm gave the turtledove a disdainful look and gestures, "Everyone has made it so clear, their boss controls all the honey business in Candy City, isn't Candy City the most famous thing, Calvin is the boss of Candy City because he controls the honey business." ”

"Pig brain, you can't answer such a simple question."

That's what the insect says about turtledoves.

The turtledove nodded suddenly, if you want to say that the head is melon seeds, it is still the worm that is more flexible, he was about to praise the worm, and suddenly thought that he still had one thing to do.
