Chapter Twenty-Eight: Old Man Bren
Coax~
As Wang Yuan's words fell, most of the more than 100 scavengers present dispersed in an instant.
And one runs faster than the other.
After all, in an environment like Scavenger Planet, no one would carry two cans with them, and no one present would carry a container of water.
After all, most of the scavengers who came with them at the beginning were half-convinced, and they carried two cans with them, which was a very dangerous move.
A beetle can kill someone, let alone a canned food at a federal exchange site.
There are only ten places a day, of course you have to go back quickly to get cans and containers, and if you are late, they will be gone.
Looking at the scattered scavengers, Wang Yuan naturally knew what they were doing, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
His own grain storage plan will soon be on the right track, and Wang Yuan will of course be happy.
In addition to most of the scavengers dispersed, there were still many people gathered around Shi Nanping.
Looking at Shi Nanping, who was a little in a hurry, Wang Yuan smiled slightly, fortunately he was prescient.
Wang Yuan was about to enter the shelter, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar back, different from other scavengers in a hurry, walking slowly towards the periphery, not in a hurry at all.
"Wait a minute, old man." Wang Yuan walked up briskly and tried to shout.
The figure in front of him paused slightly, then slowly turned around and looked at Wang Yuan.
"Hello, the young man met again, I didn't expect you to be a superpower." The figure in front of him smiled and spoke.
Wang Yuan smiled, it was really the old man he met on the first day, but it seemed that the old man had not been doing well in the past few days, although he was dirty and couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes were slightly dim.
"Old man, meet again." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
"You stop me, what's the matter?" The old man looked at Wang Yuan and said.
"It's nothing, I just want to think about the old man, do you want to live here with me." Wang Yuan scratched his head and said with a smile.
Wang Yuan has a very good impression of this old man, and he has the shadow of the old man Wang who adopted him at the beginning.
"I'm old, and I can't do much work with you." The old man spoke a little sullenly.
The old man was not young, and when he was sent over, he was already in his thirties. He has been living on this scavenging planet for forty years now.
More than seventy years old, in fact, under the advanced technology of the Federation, it can only be regarded as middle-aged, after all, the average life expectancy of the Federation has reached 150 years old.
However, there are no such good conditions as the Federation in the Scavenging Planet, and there are no various medical facilities of the Federation.
The old man knew that he was already in his last years.
The old man felt that he should not survive this winter.
So the old man was very Buddhist about everything, and everyone else hurriedly went back to get canned food and containers, but the old man was not in a hurry at all.
"What's this, I definitely won't let you do much work, old man, just let me provide for your old age." Wang Yuan smiled, showing his white teeth, and seemed to be very innocent.
At the beginning, Old Man Wang left too early, he was still in junior high school, and Old Man Wang, who had worked hard all his life, left.
Wang Yuan's academic performance is very good, so he thinks that one day he can repay Old Man Wang.
As a result, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait.
Wang Yuan was also at a loss, so he simply came back and took over the old man's recycling station, and waited for death.
Failing to provide for the old man Wang is a big regret in Wang Yuan's heart.
The old man's eyes showed surprise, and he carefully looked Wang Yuan up and down: "Little guy, a good person like you won't live long." ”
Wang Yuan grinned: "I'm not a good person, just like you didn't rob her beetle in the first place." ”
"Moreover, there is an old saying in my hometown, if there is an old family member, if there is a treasure." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
The old man was stunned for a moment: "Hahaha, you little guy is interesting." ”
This is not a lie, the old man has survived on this scavenging planet for forty years, and all kinds of experience are precious to the people on the scavenging planet.
"Okay, then I'll be cheeky and follow you to eat and drink for nothing." The old man smiled and agreed.
"Well, can you tell me what your name is, old man? My name is Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan looked at the old man and asked.
"Hehe, it's been too long, the name has really been useless for a long time, but it's good that the name is a mark at the federal recycling site, otherwise I really forgot." The old man was stunned for a moment, no one had asked his name for a long time.
For more than forty years, the old man has almost always been alone on the scavenging planet, and has hardly had contact with others except for going to the recycling site to exchange supplies.
"Bren, my name is Bren." The old man said with some emotion.
"That, old man Bu, come back with me first." Wang Yuan then did not dislike being dirty, and reached out to take the old man's arm and walked back.
Not far away, Shi Nanping was in the middle of a group of scavengers, looking at Wang Yuan suspiciously.
He Yingying, who was at the door of the shelter, was a little curious, looking at the old man who was "dragged" back by Wang Yuan.
"Yingying, help boil some hot water and bathe the old man." Wang Yuan said with a smile at He Yingying.
"Okay." He Yingying nodded, although she didn't know why Wang Yuan wanted to bring an old man back, but Wang Yuan didn't say that she wouldn't ask.
Now in He Yingying's worldview, Wang Yuan is everything.
"This is the girl who caught the worm that day, I didn't expect her to follow you, that's fine, after all, it's not good for a little girl to be alone on a scavenging planet." Bren looked at He Yingying's back and said.
Wang Yuan was stunned: "Grandpa Bu, did you know that she was a woman from the beginning?" ”
Bren nodded: "I have known it for a long time, I also hugged this little girl when I was a child, I don't know." ”
"Uh... Then you... Wang Yuan opened his mouth suspiciously.
"I know what you're trying to ask, I don't have anything to do with her." Brun interrupted Wang Yuan's words: "For some reason, I met her mother who was pregnant with her. ”
"I took care of her mother for a while, but when this little girl was two years old, her mother took her away." Bren opened his mouth with some nostalgia, and it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye.
"Her mother?" Wang Yuan looked at Bren suspiciously.
"Huh... Bren smiled: "Actually, my original purpose was not pure, after all, I haven't touched a woman for more than ten years." ”
“。。。。” Wang Yuan was slightly speechless.
Okay.
It turns out that the reason why Bren didn't rob the garbage beetle of Little Lori in the first place is that there is this relationship.
。。。。
He Yingying was still boiling water, Wang Yuan took out a can and handed it to Brun, he could see that Brun should not have eaten anything for a while.
Bren was not polite, smiled and took it.
Brun eats very carefully and does not waste at all, which is a habit that Bren has developed in the scavenging planet for more than forty years.
In an environment like a scavenging planet, wasting food is committing suicide.
After He Yingying boiled the water, Wang Yuan put his hand and got the water into Shi Nanping's shed.
Under the envious eyes of the scavengers who surrounded Shi Nanping, Buren went into Shi Nanping's shed to take a bath.
Originally, Wang Yuan asked Buren to take a bath in his own shelter, but Burun was unwilling, saying that he was too dirty, and finally went to Shi Nanping's shed.
At this time, Shi Nanping also brought a scavenger over.
The scavenger who passed Shi Nanping's preliminary examination is called Yawei, a strong man who Shi Nanping agreed to approve last year.
At the beginning, because he was oppressed by the local bureaucracy, Yavi, who couldn't bear it, beat the bureaucrat out.
As a result, he was angry with that bureaucrat and threw Yavi into the scavenging planet by finding a relationship.
Wang Yuan didn't say anything, nodded and agreed to accept Yavi.
After being recognized, the strong man's eyes showed a look of surprise.
Wang Yuan gave him a bucket of water and asked him to dispose of the dirt on his body by himself.
Yavi didn't boil the water, he carried a bucket of water, found a hidden corner of the garbage heap, and went to take a shower.
At this time, there are also quick-moving scavengers, bringing cans and containers to exchange water.
Wang Yuan didn't say much, and after accepting the can, he filled the container he had brought to the scavenger.
Then the scavengers who switched to water went away happily.
There were still a few scavengers around looking at the guy who was happy with the water, and they were ready to move, but they all suppressed their impulses thinking about Wang Yuan's "after-sales service".
On the scavenging planet, offending a superpower is really a very stupid and stupid performance, especially since this is still a superpower who can use superpower to make water out of thin air.
。。。。
It was already dark.
There are also three more improvised sheds around Wang Yuan's shelter.
In addition to one Shi Nanping's, there is another one that is Yavi's, and the old man Bren is built with the help of Yawei and Shi Nanping.
During this period, some scavengers flattered and sent some materials.
Shi Nanping and Ya Wei accepted it without being polite.
Now sitting on the edge of the fire, Wang Yuan, He Yingying, Shi Nanping, Buren, Yawei, and the five people are all clean.
Old man Bren washed his body and was much better. An old white man with kind eyes.
Before, Brun was covered with dirt, and Wang Yuan really didn't see that Bren was a white man.
"At night, Shi Nanping and Yavi take turns to keep vigil, and you can discuss the time yourself." Wang Yuan looked at the two of them and said.
Shi Nanping and Yavi nodded.
After all, their location is now known to the vast majority of waste pickers.
Although there is a superpower like Wang Yuan to deter, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, in case someone takes a risk, it will be troublesome.
"I'll do it too." At this time, Old Man Bren spoke.
"This..." Wang Yuan was slightly stunned.
Old man Bren smiled: "I can't really eat white rice, don't worry, although I'm old, it's still okay to keep a vigil." ”
In the end, Wang Yuan could only nod helplessly.
。。。
Shi Nanping kept the first shift night.
Wang Yuan and He Yingying returned to the shelter and prepared to rest.
Wang Yuan also planned to cultivate again.
At this time, suddenly Old Man Bren walked in from outside.
"Grandpa Bu, what's the matter?" Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Bren who came in.
Brun smiled: "It's nothing, just come and give you something, although it's very precious, but it's chicken ribs for us." ”
Brun reached out and handed over something, "But it should be useful to you superpowers." ”
"It's been more than ten years in my hands, but fortunately I didn't throw it away." Old man Bren said with a smile.
"What is this?" Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the crystal clear stone in Brun's hand.
"Source Energy Crystal!" Bren said solemnly.
