Snail Kite never felt that she was unlucky, and in this world, she was very satisfied that she could live to be twenty years old in peace, and that she was healthy and strong. It's good luck.
Those who are unlucky, some die early, some suffer before they die, and some do not know whether to live or die.
The optimistic Snail Kite liked to eat the food that the generous man gave her, and she felt that she was lucky, and that she was a good person, and she was glad that she didn't leave the person to run for her life. However, she was not so interested in appetite, and after the good people left, she looked at the rare good things that were left and went out into the street to try to sell them.
She didn't plan to sell it for money, and now in the situation of Sunshine City, she had money and nowhere to buy things. She wanted to change something practical, like a chair to her home.
Ice is not so untouchable in the East Country, and many people have seen the scene of ice being transported out of the ice warehouse. The huge transparent ice cube like a pillow stone was put on a carriage by several people and transported to the mansion of the noble lords. As for the taste of ice, it is impossible for civilians to taste it.
The snail kite carried a wooden bowl filled with ice cubes and two small cones, dressed in new clothes given by others, and went out to the street to sell them.
As luck would have it, she was given a table and a chair before the ice melted.
Because the voice of the snail kite is loud enough, and the ice thing is rare enough, it attracts many onlookers. Among them are the members of the Justice Society.
The little girl who served Zhou Shu with her mouth singing all night was swollen because of inflammation in her throat, and her whole person had a high fever. The wet towel wasn't ice enough to help her control her temperature and needed ice. Soon after the news broke, someone told me about the snail kite selling ice cubes yesterday.
The waterfowl are the daughters of the top of the Order, and the thugs in the Order, Steelback and Steeltail, carry yesterday's witnesses. Go in search of the snail kite.
The snail kite is very distinctive, in addition to being particularly beautiful, her slightly indistinguishable appearance is still more famous in her neighborhood. Just ask. There is no one with some dark skin and short black hair. The girl, who looked like a boy, found her home with ease.
The snail kite was having a stomach problem at home because she had eaten too much ice the day before, and she was very wolf, and she didn't want to be seen by strangers. Faced with the people who came to the door and the knocking on the door, she chose to pretend that she was not there, and as a result, she was naturally broken in.
After all, these people are here to find things, not people. Even if the person is not there. Something is there. The people of the East Country really have no concept of ice, and they don't know that this thing is neither a jewel in a box nor a pickle in a jar.
Kicking them away, the snail kite, who was lying on the bed with a stomachache, understood the severity of the matter. Looking at the two fierce men who entered the door, with arms thicker than her waist, Snail Kite chose to lock in the corner.
She has lived for so long, and naturally knows what a woman means to a man, what are the benefits, and what are the attractions. She didn't have much confidence in herself. But in this case, I can't help but think about it.
Just as Steel Back and Steel Tail grabbed the Snail Kite by the collar and asked her for ice, the silver metal beetle lying on the Snail Kite's clothes flew around. Ran into the two men who had violated private territory.
The Gray Witch's magic props are not the bargains of the year for a long time, she has updated her equipment several rounds with shotguns, although they are all low-energy props that meet her characteristics, but as long as the grade goes up, the power is still OK. Even ordinary people come to use it.
The little insect easily knocked the intruder away, and the snail kite remembered what the generous man said to himself when he left, saying that the beetle would listen to his orders.
So, Snail Kite ordered the metal beetle to drive the two out of the neighborhood.
One neighborhood of Nikko City is still very wide. The beetle beat the two men so much that they couldn't even stand up during the mission. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them heard the words 'get out of the block', they crawled very hard to safety. You may be killed by the beetle's impact.
At this time, the two had already returned home to recuperate, and they didn't really want to tell their wolf bèi about it. But it was still known, and then poked out.
Hearing this, the members of the Justice Society frowned.
Steelback and Steeltail were the kind of sturdy warriors who could break someone's thigh bones with their bare hands, and they thought it was very unreasonable for them to be defeated by the witchcraft of a strange woman. However, considering that the woman was able to get ice cubes in the middle of the summer, the Justice Society and the others felt that she might not be a good target to provoke.
The life of the water bird is on the verge of death, and some of the young people who love her are not afraid of beetles and beetles, and they ask for the address of the snail kite, and want to ask her to save her childhood sweetheart.
Snail Kite is not stupid, the door of the house has been kicked and broken, so naturally she will not continue to stay there, but run to the relief point to get today's food.
With the long queue there, there was enough for her to pass the whole day.
In the evening of the same day, when she returned home after eating her full porridge, she saw several young people blocking her at the door of her house.
She wanted to run, but it was too late.
"My friend is sick and dying. Please, please save her. ”
The young man told him about it, and the snail kite was embarrassed, saying that there was no more ice. But as a doctor, he may have a way to save people.
She had always believed in her vegetable soup healing ability, and she couldn't help it, because if she didn't believe it, she wouldn't have the face to continue to tell others that she was a doctor in the future. In order to ensure her work, she must believe that vegetable soup can really cure and save lives.
So, with the help of the young people, she boiled a large pot of soup, cooled it a little, and forcibly poured it into the water fowl whose throats were swollen as if they had been bitten by poisonous bees.
There are a lot of decoctions, in fact, the materials in them are useless, and the real effect is a large amount of hot water, especially for inflammation and fever, drinking water is actually enough.
Snail Kite, the only physician who could come up with a definite cure, stayed at the Justice Society's stronghold and poured hot water on the waterfowl for three days. The wild vegetables in her soup are also very cold, and for the country of Higashinokuni, a country where medicine has not started, her method of saving people is the most efficient, and she finally pulled the water bird back from the ghost gate. Although it is still far from recovery. At least not to burn yourself to death with a fever.
For the past three days, the snail kite has been terrified of the death of the patient.
She also saw that these people came by herself. They don't seem to be good people, and they get together all day and night to discuss what bad things to do. Although she couldn't hear clearly. But occasionally you can feel the atmosphere of their communication from some words such as "sabotage", "poisoning", and "execution", so as to determine something.
For the snail kite, a doctor who has a hand to get rid of the disease, the people of the Justice Society are very curious.
In the past three days, the snail kite has performed a little bit of three to five hundred times to control the metal beetle, and it can be said that she has been doing this all the time except for boiling soup. She also couldn't imagine that during this period of military management, she would be so busy with no work.
The patient is fine. It's time for her to go, too. Everyone in the Justice Society smiled and gave her gifts, and gave her many things as medical expenses, most of which were daily utensils. For now, these things are hard currency.
After Snail Kite was gone, the Justice Society gathered together to hold a meeting for her.
After discussion, everyone unanimously decided that it seemed that the anomaly should be brought over. They also saw the weakness of the Snail Kite's character that likes to take advantage of small advantages, and prepared a series of material offensives against her, vowing to take her down!
"Hard currency...... Hard Currency ......"
Zhou Shu was in his castle office, lying on the desk of the desk. Thinking about some questions.
This morning, he became the master of the land, the king of the plains. Lord Earl Zhou Shu. Tiddlelem's convoy had arrived, and all those in the guard had automatically become promoted officers, taking over the town garrison, and preparing to take over all the armies of the other five cities in the Plains within a few days.
If it is changed to peacetime, Zhou Shu, the newly appointed boss, needs to show his face to the common people to pay respects, so as not to be recognized by others after going to the street and being hit.
However, there are a lot of troubles at the moment, so it is not his turn to appear with this face, and Baiyu's beautiful face is enough to cope with most situations. But it's just the majority, not all.
Next to Master Zhou were two treasure chests full of gold and jewels. The box shone with gold, making those who saw it unconsciously open their mouths and drool. Hundred tongues is one of them. It took her a long time to get over that.
People love gold. This seems to be an immutable fact that is written into the DNA, with few exceptions. Zhou Shu is one. He blamed it on his father's cosmic human ancestry.
Recently, there have been 50,000 more homeless people on the Sword Plain side, and they were sent by old friends from the east. Zhou Shu is now in urgent need of a large number of jobs, and these people will be arranged in, so that they can change from homeless people to obedient people with jobs.
Baiyu is not here, she has been busy to death recently, and she is using the money given by Zhou Shu to buy supplies, mainly food.
In the Plains of the Blade, grain is the absolute hard currency. Zhou Shu didn't know how hard this thing was, so he asked a soldier to help investigate. This would make him wonder what else could be used as a salary to pay the homeless people instead of the money that was currently useless.
He relied on the knowledge he had accumulated in school, from bullets to pens, to find a whole bunch of answers. As for how many can be used...... Visual inspection is zero.
The hardest hard currency, gold, is useless in this place where supplies are scarce. It's the same with bullets, you can't get chocolate, and the people here at Pike 51 don't recognize it. The little information we got in World War II didn't seem to be very useful.
"Do you really want to buy a lot of grain?" Zhou Shu didn't really want to do this kind of thing, in this era, transportation was inconvenient, and the high price of grain meant that there might be a situation where the poor would go hungry in the neighboring areas of the Sword Plain.
He also thought about using the Two Realms Gate to buy from the place where the food was cheapest, that is, in the 21st century, but he had no experience in this, and he was lazy to think about it, and he was not in the mood to do it.
In the end, he could only put his hope on Baiyu, hoping that she could find a caravan for long-distance trafficking, contact the big trading houses in other regions, and mobilize the grain of the whole country together.
The soldiers sent out by Master Zhou to investigate the grain market came back with a bag of wheat flour, looking very wolf.
"What's the matter, what can you get in that bag of flour?"
The little soldier squeaked and whined for a long time, and finally gave an unexpected answer.
"Nothing can be exchanged because they have nothing. Except for ......"
"Except for what?" Zhou Shu looked at Xiao Bing and lowered his head shyly. It's basically a guess.
Xiaobing said, "There are some girls, as long as I give her a dough cake." She. She was willing to commit herself to me for one night......"
"Oh~" Zhou Shu sighed, "Then have you changed it?"
The creep seems to be a boring man. Shook his head. In terms of age, he is probably half a round older than Zhou Shu, and he has not yet married a daughter-in-law.
"Stagflation!"
Stagnation inflation stems from the stagnation of the flow of money, the cessation of the circulation of goods, and the rise in prices, but because of economic stagnation, income does not increase with inflation. It is a special and terrible economic phenomenon. The last country on Earth to experience stagflation was Greece.
In this case, the cheapest thing is probably a girl's body. Of course, it's still worth more than a boy's body. The male labor force, in this area where there is no economic operation, is completely useless.
In a relatively free economic environment, the better the economic situation, the higher the price of the mass standard girl's body. If the girl no longer values herself and exchanges her skin and flesh for bread, it means that the economy of the place is in ruins.
Master Zhou was originally thinking about serious things, but when this little soldier said it, he also raised with a basket of cakes. Picking up the daughter-in-law's thoughts at home. He didn't lack that thing, he just wanted to join in the fun.
In occupied Germany at the end of World War II, it was a great time to give you a chocolate or a box of cigarettes and the girl would follow you. Zhou Shu didn't catch up, but he was very envious of the romantic and efficient culture at that time, and wanted to experience it here.
So, he walked out of his castle with some food, and went to Xicheng District alone. Completely forgot about Natty's words to him, 'Bring me as a bodyguard' -
In this country where there are generally not many disguise masters, and the spiritual power in human heads is sucked away by pseudo-gods, there are actually not many beautiful girls. The snail kite that Zhou Shu saw before was a tomboy, and his skin was rough. The untrimmed body hair is a bit heavy, but in terms of appearance, it is already the first place.
Take a turn in the Xicheng District, which is full of idlers. Zhou Shu didn't find anything worth entrusting a piece of cake to her good girl. He was hungry as he walked, so he found a random place to sit. Stuffing the happiness of his lower body in his mouth with the dust raised, he was ready to eat all the bread he brought, and then go home and honestly go to Nati to be coquettish.
This act of his was also carried out in broad daylight. In those poor years in Shenzhou Huaxia, people who couldn't afford to eat used meat skin to rub oil on their lips to support the façade, which belonged to death, but what he was doing now was basically showing off his wealth.
A few little boys and girls looked at Zhou Shu who was eating, and came over, staring at them with blank eyes. What annoys Master Zhou the most is this kind of guy who approaches him with a purpose, but is still pretending to be pure there. However, human nature is here, he still gave all his food to the child, and then quickly transferred it to save himself from being entangled by more people.
Although he has not experienced this situation much, according to the film and television works, giving alms at this time will be surrounded by more people in need, and it will lead to a robbery.
Zhou Shu ran fast, but he was still seen. In this city hued by desert yellow, a pair of eyes looked at him from the shade of a rare green tree.
The owner of the eyes saw Zhou Shu running towards the alley, and immediately moved towards the exit of the alley with a rumbling stomach.
Master Zhou went out of the alley and was about to go home, but was blocked by a girl of eighteen or nineteen with her arms outstretched at the mouth of the alley.
"Uh...... What are you?"
Zhou Shu looked the girl up and down, her facial features were OK, there were a little freckles on her face, and the Book of Summoning showed that she also had some on her shoulders. Freckles are a common condition for white girls, and for Chinese, freckles are always reminiscent of farm girls or girls next door.
"This gentleman!"
The freckled woman called Zhou Shu, gently tucked her shoulders, and skillfully let the dress slip off her body. It was clear that this girl was not a farm girl or a neighbor's little sister......
"Sir, can you buy me? I just want to ask for something to eat. ”
Staring at the little girl who came to the door, Zhou Shu felt a little bit of the atmosphere of the era he was looking forward to. Secretly conjured up a bag of nuts, and Zhou Shuse approached the girl with a smile. To experience the atmosphere, you have to experience it to the end, but there are more or less people in the alley, Zhou Shu walked to the girl's side to help her put on the dress and give her food. Then let her find a place.
This kind of behavior of girls is basically regarded as the tertiary industry, that is, the service industry. Zhou Shu really wanted to be served once. It's too troublesome to be in a normal relationship, but this kind of efficient communication is still quite good. Everyone has their own ability. To each take what he needs, no one will hurt anyone, and there is nothing wrong with that.
People's desires cannot be limited, and the country in which Zhou Shu was born, the scale and quality of this tertiary industry are the best in the world, and it is still in a state of suppression.
The girl takes Zhou Shu to an empty house, where many refugees fled before the occupation of Sunshine City. There are a lot of dilapidated vacant houses.
Zhou Shu took a look at the environment here, and there was no place to lie down, so he was mentally prepared to lean against the wall to solve it. As the first time to support the self-employed service industry, he was still a little nervous.
"Excuse me, sir, can I eat something before I start? I'm so hungry. ”
Zhou Shu nodded, "You are free." ”
The girl came all the way, her stomach kept screaming, and Zhou Shu could naturally hear it. The food given by the army has not been much, and it is impossible for normal people to have enough to eat. There is not much else to eat in the city.
Zhou Shu took advantage of the freckled female squirrel eating pistachios and asked her some questions.
"You...... Is it someone from Higashino Kuni after this area was opened?"
Actually, what he wanted to ask was. "Are you an exile who was driven by the East Country?"
The girl nodded and concluded to herself, "I'm an outcast. ”
"Alone?"
The girl shook her head. "Parents and brothers, all there. So if you can give me more food, I might be able to follow you to your house...... A few more days of service to you......"
"This doesn't have to be...... My house is a mess......"
This was obviously not the answer the girl wanted to hear, and she nervously dropped a pistachio on the ground, and shrunk her shoulders so that the belt Hua Luo exposed her shoulders.
"Otherwise, I can give you an address, and come to me if you need it. I'm waiting for you. I want to earn more food for my family......"
While the girl was saying the words of pleading, she rubbed Zhou Shu with her shoulders and half of her body, which made his heart itch. He regrets it now. Regretting conjuring up such a bag of things that was troublesome to eat, he couldn't wait to lift this girl's skirt.
In order for the girl to concentrate on eating. Fill your stomach quickly, Zhou Shu promised her. Come back tomorrow. The girl was so happy that she didn't eat anything, and threw herself into Zhou Shu's arms and started her own 'service'.
Baiyu was busy all day and met some big businessmen from the past. In fact, all the real big businessmen have fled the city, and those who remain behind are some small shrimps. These people used to belong to the kind of people who couldn't reach her status as an Earless, but now Hyakyu went to them in person, hoping that they could organize a chamber of commerce and carry out commercial trade with the West Country.
The businessmen of the East and the West are not very good at brains, and they are very rigid and very desperate. Zhou Shu determined this early on. If the merchants here really had a commercial spirit, in the face of such a large market as the Sword Plain, they should have gone here to rob the hungry people with grain one after another.
After such a long time, the chambers of commerce only cooperated with the army and sold food to the army, not to the civilian population. The army did not have a monopoly on the local grain trade.
Baiyu needs to let the supplies flow into his own territory and rejuvenate the Sword Plain. Unfortunately, this is now the territory of Nishinokuni, and even if you want to do business, you can only do it with the people of Nishinokuni. In other words, if these merchants who stayed in the country of the east wanted to do business, they had to deal with the people of the country of the west as people of the country of the east as people of the country of the east.
Baiyu met a few people and promised to give them capital, as long as they opened up business routes, but they were rejected very simply.
These people all knew the identity of the Duchess of Hundred Tongues, and showed disdain for her actions of defecting to the enemy.
"Excuse me, Miss, where is the Duke now?"
Baiyu was also asked such a question.
Hearing this, she almost blushed and ran away from someone's house. The self-esteem of the duke's daughter led her to answer the question, "My father is dead, at the hands of a despicable officer, in the capital of the Western Kingdom. ”
"Where are you, Miss Duke?"
Who am I? now...... Where?
Hundred tongues returned from the merchant's house and paced back and forth in a study in the castle. Naturally, she felt the humiliation from the businessman. The thief pointed at her a little unacceptable, but she couldn't directly say to these small merchants, 'I plan to infiltrate the enemy, contact the rebel group and the motherland's army, and work together to retake the Sword Plain'.
In fact, she didn't think about it that way, because she knew that Zhou Shu dared to put such a right in her hands, she must be wary of herself, and it was not easy to make trouble from it. (To be continued)
