Chapter 221: Experiences in the Bazaar (I)
"Later...... It didn't matter, I used some gentle means to get the two people out. ”
"Uh......"
Kong Zhe shook his head amusedly, a gentle way or something is definitely impossible, but Kong Zhe didn't care too much, he was still more at ease with Hongling, and he was decisive and measured.
"Then I'll occupy the second floor!"
At this time, Xue Feifei carried a box in one hand and pointed to the room above and asked Hongling.
"Occupy it, take it, as long as you don't blow it up for me, you can toss it as you want."
"Well, it's not enough to blow up, at most a few holes, well, I'll reinforce the room for you when I go back, this kind of cement wall is really too fragile, and I don't have a sense of security......"
Xue Feifei said these amazing words that only belonged to her, and then looked at Kong Zhe at the door: "You came just in time, come and help, put all my equipment on the second floor." After speaking, he couldn't help but pull Kong Zhe upstairs.
In the following time, Kong Zhe was commanded by Xue Feifei, until an hour later, the furnishings of the whole room finally looked a little. The instruments were also put in their rightful places.
After finishing his work here, Kong Zhe offered to go to the market in the safe zone to buy some things.
For things like shopping, ordinary women, like Hongling, naturally came to the spirit immediately and asked to go with them, but Xue Feifei's senior otaku was not interested at all, and was still fiddling with her equipment. even showed a puzzled expression to Hongling, who was excited, as if wondering why she was willing to go to such a crowded place.
Hearing Kong Zhe's words, Tuan Tuan, who was about to fall asleep on the sofa, a cat's ears trembled, and suddenly came to his senses and shouted: "Shopping? Me, I'm going to meow too! ”
Originally, Xue Feifei didn't want Tuan Tuan to wear that strange cat ear hair ornament again, but after that night, Xue Feifei found that Tuan Tuan would be more energetic when she wore cat ears, of course, the sleeping time would not be reduced, and the drowsiness did not change at all. It's just that when he was awake, he was indeed more energetic, and Tuan Tuan seemed to be willing to wear that thing, so Xue Feifei didn't object, so he acquiesced.
"No! You give me a good rest! ”
"Huh? Don't meow! ”
Tuan Tuan pouted and retorted, but looking at Xue Feifei's still straight face, he also knew that it was impossible for her to let herself out. So I had to give up.
"I see...... Then you're going to buy me something to eat! ”
Tuan Tuan pointed at Kong Zhe and said, "I want to eat fish, all kinds of fish, but I don't want to eat canned fish anymore!" ”
Kong Zhe shrugged his shoulders and nodded slightly, this is not a big deal, after all, Jincheng is a city by the sea, and it is difficult to find vegetables and other meats in the market, but fish can be found everywhere.
"Oh, by the way, wait, I have something for you to buy too!"
Being so troubled, Xue Feifei also remembered something, hurriedly stopped the two, took out a pen and paper, and quickly made a list on the table.
"Give, buy some for me according to this, just buy the amount according to what is written above, of course, the more the better, but at least the amount written above, otherwise it will not be enough."
Kong Zhe took the list and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning: "Hey, it's acceptable if you want iron and copper or something, but these 'platinum', 'nickel', 'rosin' or something in the back, is this kind of thing really sold?" ”
"Yes, as long as you are willing to find it carefully, there will definitely be, and I don't want pure metal, you just need to find some compounds that contain this thing, and then I will extract it myself."
Xue Feifei nodded while patting Kong Zhe's shoulder, with an expression that this simple matter will be handed over to you.
"I hope so......"
Kong Zhe could only smile bitterly and shake his head, and then went downstairs with Hongling. When I was about to go out, I could faintly hear the cries of Tuan Tuan from a distance of more than ten meters.
"Don't forget my fish......"
……
The two walked around the camp for about half an hour, and when they reached the southwest corner of the security zone, they turned around a corner and there was a huge square with many people setting up stalls and selling.
Kong Zhe and Hongling walked through the bustling bazaar, where vendors were selling their wares and shouting to customers.
Many of the Awakened were coming and going in the square, picking out their favorite goods, and the sounds of bargaining could be heard from time to time, and this was the liveliest place in the entire security zone compared to the tranquility of other places.
After shopping for a while, Hongling was amazed, there were all kinds of goods in this square, almost everything was sold, all kinds of daily necessities, books and even the equipment of the awakened were specially divided into an area for people to buy and sell.
Of course, compared to other things, the most precious and the rarest thing is still food. In these last days, you can do without any luxuries, shelter or even clothing, but you can't do without food, because it is necessary for anyone to sustain life.
Many people who own food don't take it out and sell it, and those that do are generally priced at a high price. This is true even for expired food.
When the two entered the food area, a fishy smell hit their faces. This is also a feature of this safe zone, because the place is close to the sea, so there are a lot of fishermen, and just near the edge of the safe zone, there is a large natural fishing ground. Even ordinary people, as long as they are careful, they can catch some fish in the fishing ground to sell, and after being impregnated by magic, the current fish are not like the ordinary fish of the past, most of the fish are under the effect of magic, there is some kind of evolution, most of the body size has become huge, and some of the fish with a high degree of evolution have a certain degree of aggression.
Most of these fishermen are reluctant to eat these fish, except for those who are wealthy at home, they will generally be exchanged for money or some slightly spoiled food, after all, this fish is fresh, and it is meat, and it can be exchanged for a lot of things if it is used to exchange for coarse grains.
Therefore, in this specially opened food market, the most are all kinds of fish.
Although the price of food is expensive, it is also relative to ordinary people, for Kong Zhe, who became rich once some time ago, this gold coin is actually nothing, compared to the gold coin he prepared for enchantment materials and equipment later, it can be regarded as a drop in the bucket. So Kong Zhe did not hesitate to buy a lot of fresh fish and meat and store it in the ring.
After shopping, Kong Zhe was about to leave, but found that Hongling beside him was staring at a certain place in a daze, looking in the direction of her gaze, and what happened there suddenly made Kong Zhe stunned.
On the ground in the distance, a woman with a disheveled hair knelt on the ground, dressed in tatters, and in front of her lay a board that read 'One silver coin at a time'.
Everyone is not a brainless person, and when they see this, of course they understand what is going on, and there are many people around who are pointing at the woman, and even many people show disdain. The woman, on the other hand, kept her head down, not saying a word, revealing a pair of lifeless eyes from under her messy hair.
"Why, don't you look down on her too?"
Kong Zhe's question made Hongling come back to her senses, she glanced at Kong Zhe, her eyes were a little complicated.
"Not really...... I used to think I could accept this kind of thing, but now when I actually see it, I suddenly feel a little ...... It's a bit ......."
Hongling thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of a suitable word to describe her thoughts.
"Are you angry?"
"Hmm...... Almost......"
Hongling sighed and nodded slightly, indeed she should be in this mood. One silver coin is actually not much, and with the current price of food, even if you eat the cheapest thing, you can only guarantee a full meal at most. But just like that, there are people who are willing to sell their bodies for the sake of it, is a woman's dignity so cheap?
In her opinion, even if she is an ordinary woman, as long as she is not a disabled person with severed hands and feet, she is fully capable of going out hunting to support herself, and at most she has to take some risks. But those dangers seemed to her to be much less than her own dignity. That's why she doesn't understand, why can't this woman be braver? Instead of choosing this most cowardly approach to survive?
"Don't dwell on it!"
Kong Zhe sighed, patted her on the shoulder, turned around and walked into the distance: "Everyone has their own way of living, some people's ideas can never be changed by others, there is no absolute right or wrong in this world, so what you have to do is to stick to yourself, as for others, you can completely turn a blind eye." ”
"Maybe......"
Hongling muttered softly, and then stopped paying attention to the things here, and continued to walk around with Kong Zhe.
Originally, Hongling didn't think about it anymore, but she soon found that this phenomenon of selling herself to make a living was not an exception, and after a while, she saw more than a dozen people similar to the woman before.
This can't help but make her sigh, is it really so fragile in the face of death?
"Hey, brother......"
At this moment, Hongling heard a discordant voice coming from the side, turned his head to look, and a thief-eyed man was approaching Kong Zhe, whispering something next to him, while constantly looking around, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.
Hongling frowned, because she was close, and with her good hearing, she also heard the second half of the other party's words.
"Do you want a maid?"
Hongling was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of anger rose in her heart. She couldn't tell why she was so angry, she thought this person was just a thief or something, but she didn't expect it to be a human trafficker, remembering the women she saw at the city gate before who were dragged away by robbers, it is estimated that this kind of person did it!
Hongling clenched her fists, and just when she wanted to step forward and beat this person, she heard Kong Zhe's faint voice: "No need!" ”
