Chapter 7: Zhang Sheng
(I was dragged to the countryside yesterday, and I thought that I would be able to go home in time to send out the book in the evening, but I was told to stay for one night, so the two chapters last night were not updated, and they were sent out together today.) )
The grain exchange line is located in the north of the central area, that is, at the entrance of the inner city, which leads directly to the granary at the rear, even if there is a large amount of money, it is convenient to pay.
It is not far from the commercial area, if you want to exchange huàn grain, there are special grain stores in various places, make some difference, but save the distance, why come here, mainly because there are some other crops open here.
For example, potatoes, sweet potatoes, salt, sugar, etc.
Shuangying Mountain Grain Redemption Huàn Line, the name is very atmospheric, there are seven Redemption Huàn windows, each window has two people, a clerk is responsible for reception, and a big Han is responsible for weighing grain.
Because it is a bulky item such as grain, it is directly open to the public, that is, it is outdoors.
There are not many people today, only three windows are opened, and there is no need to queue up, Li Yang looked up at today's exchange price, then walked directly to the No. 7 window, and said: "Ten catties of rice, ten catties of white flour, one catty of refined salt, one cabbage, one bottle of soy sauce, five catties of potatoes, that's all." ”
The clerk quickly fiddled with the abacus beads in her hand, and when Li Yang's voice fell, she finished fiddling, because Li Yang's exchange huàn has a lot of things, he is a big customer, and he is also the top in this year, so this round-faced little beauty smiled very sweetly, and asked, "Is that the only one, sir?" ”
"Yes, that's all."
"It's seventy-six five, sir."
Li Yang took out a wad of food stamps, took out eight ten-yuan ones, and handed them in, the girl watched Li Yang take out a wad of money, just pointed out a small part, and her smile became even sweeter.
Li Yang understands that the salaries of these girls who work as clerks are actually not very high, and twenty yuan a week is considered high.
"Sir, a new batch of daily necessities has arrived recently, do you want to buy some." The girl has a good eye, and she can see that Li Yang is brightly dressed, but her face is a little dirty, and her hair is fluffy, so she knows what Li Yang needs, and she sells it while the big man on the side is weighing grain.
Li Yang's eyes lit up and said, "Really? Take it out and take a look. ”
He really hates this dirty look, and it would be nice to clean it up.
Looking at the new quotation handed over by the girl with a smile, the things on it are really expensive.
A piece of soap that used to cost only seven yuan, he actually marked the price of thirty yuan, which was thirty catties of rice.
However, Li Yang knew that the price was not outrageous, so he bought a small bottle of unopened shampoo and a piece of soap, which cost more than sixty yuan.
Just as Li Yang had just collected the money and shampoo and was waiting for the big man on the side to load the food, he heard a familiar and excited voice.
"Oh my God! Just pity me Zhang Sheng! Is my wife really going to die in bed? ”
Li Yang turned his head sharply when he heard the sound, and saw a big man at the No. 1 window, his cheeks were a little sunken from hunger, wearing a torn military coat, kneeling on the ground, and a piece of colorful banknotes were scattered on the side.
Li Yang knew what was going on.
In his previous life, Zhang Sheng was a man he met during the conscription, he wanted food to feed his son, so he joined Li Yang's army, and he had excellent kung fu, especially a pair of palms, soaked in iron sand palms for 20 years, and it was a big mudra on the brick wall.
Li Yang remembered that he had drunk with Zhang Sheng, and Zhang Sheng said that he was originally a person who could support himself, and this Li Yangxin, in this last days, a man who knows kung fu, can not starve to death.
But God played a joke on him, Zhang Sheng was lucky, during the catastrophe, his family of three was not infected, he and his sister, that is, his wife and his son all the way to the Shuangying Mountain settlement, and took root here, he and his wife relied on their excellent skills to join a mercenary group, and they were not short of food and clothing.
But this kind of work to make a living on the knife is very risky, he told Li Yang that he and his wife in a mission, encountered a small group of evolved zombies, commonly known as claw zombies, was caught off guard, there were only six people left to run back, the mercenary group was also disbanded, the saddest thing is that his wife was scratched by claw zombies and needed a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs.
The anti-inflammatory drugs on the market in Shuangyingshan are very expensive, but Zhang Sheng didn't want to give up his wife, so he went to the commercial area to sell all the weapons and equipment he and his wife, and scraped together more than 100 yuan, ready to buy medicine, but was slapped in the face by the medicine vendor on the spot.
Because his money is fake!
Zhang Sheng didn't believe it, and went to the huàn line, but the facts told him that it was fake.
Therefore, Zhang Sheng's wife fell ill and died because there was no medicine.
This history of blood and tears, Zhang Sheng once told Li Yang when he was drinking, because it was a matter of the past, Li Yang didn't ask much, and he forgot the time, in his impression, ordinary zombies evolved into claw zombies, and when it was common, it still appeared when the first zombie attacked the city in June, but he didn't expect it to be in April!
As for the corpse poison, it's okay, because of the 'demon cleansing', people without virus antibodies have long become zombies, and those who survive, because of the corpse poison antibodies, are no longer afraid of corpse poison, unless the toxin in the teeth of the strongest corpse poison enters the artery, there is a chance to make people with immunity corpse again, otherwise, an injury like a scratch will not appear corpse, even if it is death, it is just the death of ordinary people.
Think about this strong man who has followed him for more than a year, relying on his own ability to rise to the top in his own team, in fact, Li Yang didn't give him much care, but he was loyal to Li Yang, Li Yang once asked him why, his answer was just that Li Yang gave him the dignity of life and the capital to support his son!
Such a loyal, upright, brave, and true temperament man, how could he Li Yang let it go!
Li Yang ignored the shouts of the clerk at the window behind him, strode up to Zhang Sheng, and said, "Manly man, blood is not shed!" Get up! ”
Zhang Sheng looked up at Li Yang with a flushed face, he really didn't know Li Yang, and he didn't know why this young man was in charge of himself.
"Isn't it just that I received fake money, as for crying like this!"
Li Yang couldn't say too much, so he could only induce Zhang Sheng little by little.
"What do you know, you don't know anything, this money is life-saving money, without money, you can't buy medicine, without medicine, my wife will die! It's going to die! ”
"Isn't it just money! If you don't have it, you will earn it, look at your big shoulders and round waist, and the palms of your hands are the same as a grinding plate, so you have practiced. It shouldn't be hard to make money. ”
"It's too late, it's too late! My wife already has a high fever, and without medicine, he won't survive tomorrow! When Zhang Sheng said this, his voice had changed because of crying.
Li Yang took out a handful of money and said, "It's easy to ask for money!" I need someone to work, if you come with me, you can take this! ”
The applause suddenly raised his head, and he looked at Li Yang who was beating a wad of money in his hand in disbelief, as if he didn't believe his ears.
"Do!" Seeing that the pile of money was definitely more than one or two hundred, Zhang Sheng nodded violently.
Li Yang knew that at this moment, he accepted Zhang Sheng again.
In this life, I will never fail him.
