Episode 5. Trading venues

Ouyang Hao and the others spent two hours to simply tidy up the four rooms on the third floor, several rooms were very messy, things were thrown everywhere, and after a few of them cleaned up their things, Ouyang Hao looked at the clock on the wall, and the time was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

The four of them sat down, and Ouyang Hao asked everyone to gather all the things in their bags and count them to see how many supplies there were.

The four men poured out all the things in their backpacks, and after counting them, they found that the most were cigarettes, a total of 68 packs of various cigarettes, three 54 pistols, more than 220 bullets, two military daggers, two flashlights, a number of candles, some tools, a few ham sausages, more than a dozen packets of beef jerky and more than a pound of compressed biscuits, an electric teapot, an emergency lamp, a few bottles of water and a little feminine products, and two 500-gram gold bars

Lin Xiao said with a smile: "You actually took so many cigarettes, you can really eat them as food." ”

"It is estimated that no one in this world produces cigarettes anymore, and now cigarettes are smoked one pack and one pack less." Zhou Tian said while playing with a pack of Chinese cigarettes.

Ouyang Hao said with a smile: "What Zhou Tian said is good, don't believe it, I estimate that the current cigarettes may be able to be exchanged for a lot of good things." ”

"I'm hungry......" Chen Feng said, grabbing a sausage.

Ouyang Hao picked up a ham sausage and handed it to Lin Xiao, and said with a smile: "You know how to eat, most of the things here go into your stomach." ”

Chen Fei said dissatisfiedly: "You talk nonsense, I see that you and Zhou Tian have not eaten less." ”

Zhou Tian chewed beef jerky in his mouth, and said this vaguely: "It's just a little something, it's gone if you eat it all, I'm going to start eating relief food from tomorrow, and I'm going to tighten the belt." ”

Ouyang Hao took a sip of water and said: "Then there is such a good thing, there will be no free food in this world, you look at it, there are things waiting for us to do, brothers hurry up and finish eating and going to sleep." ”

Lin Xiao stood up and said with a smile: "Then I'll go to sleep first, I'm very sleepy, I think I should be able to sleep well tonight." ”

Ouyang Hao and the three of them sat on the sofa in the hall on the first floor and smoked cigarettes.

Ouyang Hao said to Zhou Tian and the two of them: "We are now temporarily settled, but we still have to be vigilant, put the gun on the side when we sleep at night, and we must find something to top the gate." ”

Zhou Tian nodded and said, "You're right, be careful, I'm going to my parents early tomorrow morning, do you want to go together?" ”

Chen Feng smiled and said, "You still have a sister?" Is it a beauty? ”

Zhou Tian scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, of course it's a beauty, but what does it have to do with you, you take a good look at your horse, don't let people pry it away." ”

"Pry your head." Chen Feng threw the lighter at Zhou Tian.

Ouyang Hao threw away the cigarette butt and said with a smile: "Okay, don't make trouble, come." Let's put the couch behind the top door and then all go to sleep. ”……

Ouyang Hao walked to the innermost room on the third floor, closed the door, the door lock was broken, Ouyang Hao pulled a chair and pinned it in the corner of the door and the wall, took off his coat and climbed onto the bed, leaned on the head of the bed and lit a cigarette, then raised his left hand, "brushed" the bone knife and stretched out, Ouyang Hao looked at the bone knife carefully, smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "It will be convenient to cut vegetables and meat in the future, this is sharper than a kitchen knife." ”

After smoking, Ouyang Hao put the pistol within reach of his hand next to the bed, then lay down, pulled the quilt, and slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Ouyang and the four of them got up, the four of them put cigarettes and bullets in a backpack, and went out on their backs, they were afraid that they would be stolen if they were put in the house, so they still carried them on their backs.

Ouyang Hao and the four of them came to the door of the cathedral, there were not many people at the door of the church, and the door had not yet opened, so everyone had to wait on the side.

Ouyang Hao and a middle-aged man next to him were chatting, and Ouyang Hao said, "Is the food you received here enough?" ”

The middle-aged man sighed and said: "How can you have enough to eat, you can only guarantee that you will not starve to death, if you want to eat enough, it will not be enough to eat for a week, and now in this world, some of them are good to eat." ”

"Well, is it true that everybody should starve?" Ouyang Hao said.

The middle-aged man said: "It is always those of us who are incapable of starving, will the leaders starve?" Of course, if you have something, you can also trade it in the market here, where it is said that everything is available, and there is a black market here, I heard that even guns and women are available, but only if you have good things. ”

"Really? Ouyang Hao asked curiously, "Where is the bazaar, and what is the most sought-after there?" ”

"It was the most sought-after food. The bazaar is on the east side, so you can see it when you walk past it. The middle-aged man said.

At this time, the doors of the church opened, and the crowd crowded.

"Queue up, whoever cuts the queue or makes trouble will be disqualified." An officer with a gun shouted at the door.

After queuing for half an hour, it was finally Ouyang Hao's turn and them, and the four of them walked in and found that there was a lot of grain piled up inside, and there was also a little bit of fruit.

A week's worth of food includes: two catties of rice per person, half a catty of flour, two canned luncheon meats and one canned fish plus five packets of mustard, and one apple per person.

Ouyang Hao and the others took these things back to the room in disappointment, and Zhou Tian went to find his parents.

Ouyang Hao said unhappily: "This kind of thing will be eaten for a week, it seems that if you continue like this, you will starve to death, no, you have to find a way." ”

Chen Feng also said: "Yes, and I see that the food will become more and more nervous in the future, so I really have to think of a way." ”

Ouyang Hao said to Lin Xiao: "That's it, you can stay at home, I just heard that there is a market here, Chen Feng and I will go to have a look, you have a gun, if someone is not good for you, shoot it, be careful, we will come back soon." ”

Ouyang Hao and Chen Feng casually ate a few compressed biscuits and then went out with their bags on their backs, and then walked all the way to the east.

As soon as they walked to the entrance of the southern district, Ouyang Hao and Chen Feng saw Han Mengna coming over, Han Mengna put on a military uniform with a pistol in her waist, she also saw Ouyang Hao and Chen Feng, and hurriedly walked over.

"How did you put on a camouflage uniform? It's still holding a gun in the open. Chen Feng asked strangely.

"Haha, guess what." Han Mengna said with a smile.

Chen Feng said impatiently: "Guess what, don't say I'm leaving." "I'm leaving.

Han Mengna took his hand and said, "Why are you so angry, are you happy to see me?" Let me tell you, yesterday I went to the security center to report, and I was assigned to patrol in the southern district, and I will patrol the southern district every day from now on. ”

Ouyang Hao smiled and said, "What do you mean, the southern district will be covered by you in the future, isn't it?" ”

Han Mengna replied with a smile: "Haha, where, I'm just one of them, there are several people patrolling, I just came, can I do it." ”

Ouyang Hao said with a smile: "No matter what, there are people in there who are easy to do, Chen Feng and I are going to the market, Lin Xiao is in the house, you can go to her." ”

Han Mengna said: "Okay, you guys go, be careful, you can't trespass here." ”

"Got it, you're so wordy, let's go." Chen Feng secretly touched Han Mengna's buttocks.

Ouyang Hao and Chen Feng quickly found the market, which was located in the square to the east of the town, where there were many stalls, and there were people sitting behind each stall, and there were a few soldiers patrolling around the square.

Ouyang Hao and Chen Feng walked over and saw a lot of instant noodles and drinks on the first stall, so Ouyang Hao stopped and asked, "How do you trade this instant noodles?" ”

A middle-aged man at the back of the stall replied lazily: "Exchange for something? If you have something to say, tell it. ”

Ouyang Hao took out a pack of soft China and said with a smile: "I have cigarettes, can I change them?" ”

"Cigarettes?" Xie Dingnan's eyes lit up, and then he said lazily: "Cigarettes can be changed, a pack of cigarettes can be exchanged for a pack of noodles." ”

Ouyang Hao is not stupid, he just noticed the glowing eyes of this Xie Ding man after hearing the cigarette, although it was only for a moment, but it did not escape Ouyang Hao's eyes.

"Pack-for-pack?" Ouyang Hao snorted: "Let's go, go to other stalls and have a look." ”

Seeing that Ouyang Hao and Chen Feng were leaving, Xie Dingnan hurriedly stopped them: "Wait, can you still discuss, how many cigarettes do you have?" ”

Ouyang Hao turned around and said, "There are a lot of cigarettes, it depends on how you change them." ”

"One pack of cigarettes for two packs of noodles." Xie Dingnan said.

Ouyang Hao took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Feng, and then the two of them lit it and smoked it, and deliberately pretended to enjoy it.

"Let's do it, one pack of cigarettes for three packs of noodles, you know, the food in this world is the most important thing now." Xie Dingnan said.

"You got so many instant noodles there?" Ouyang Hao handed him a cigarette.

Xie Dingnan immediately took a few puffs, and then said proudly: "I am a resident of this town, I originally opened a small supermarket, but then the town was over, I was lucky not to die, after the army took over here, the things in the supermarket naturally belonged to them, but there is still a lot of inventory in my own warehouse, and they said that it still belongs to me." ”

"Then it looks like you're doing a pretty good job." Ouyang Hao said with a smile.

"Moisturize what. Everyone in the family is dead, and it's not interesting for me to be alive alone. Xie Dingnan said sadly.

"Forget it, don't talk about this, everyone is the same, so let's use Chinese cigarettes to exchange with you, one pack of cigarettes for five packs of noodles, do you want to change it? If you don't change it, I'll leave, and if you change it, you will make a deal immediately. Ouyang Hao said talkatively.

"Zhonghua, how many instant noodles do you want to change?" Xie Dingnan said, it seems that he has been tempted.

"Ten packs, for you fifty packs of instant noodles." Ouyang Hao still talked about it.

Xie Dingnan thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it's changed." ”

Ouyang Hao took out a whole piece of China and handed it to Xie Dingnan, and then Xie Dingnan took out two boxes of instant noodles, opened one of the boxes and took out ten packets, and said: "A box of thirty packs, there are a total of fifty packs here, you order." ”

"No need to order it, but how do you take this?" Ouyang Hao is a little difficult, he can't resist a box and go to the market. ”

"Can't take it, can you? Haha, forget it, seeing that you two are so happy, I'll give you a trolley, anyway, this is useless now. Xie Dingnan pulled a shopping trolley from behind and said with a smile.

"Ah, thank you, I didn't expect you to be so good." Ouyang Hao handed over another cigarette.

"It's a little mean, next time you have something good to come to me, I still have wine." Xie Dingnan said with a smile.

Ouyang Hao loaded two boxes of instant noodles into the trolley, and said to Xie Dingnan with a smile: "Okay, if there are good things, I must come to you first." ”

Then Chen Feng pushed the cart and walked to the next stall with Ouyang Hao.
