The southern part of the wetland park.

The survivors of Bate Street, carrying a wild boar in the direction of the outpost.

It's hard to catch prey in winter, but if you're lucky enough to explore the ruins of high-rise buildings along the Fifth Ring Road, you'll still be able to catch a game or two.

Ordinary squirrels, hares and other small animals, they dispose of them themselves, but big creatures like wild boars, take them to the butcher in the town to get meat, and they have to be harvested 30%!

It's not a good deal.

Those blue coats, as long as 20% of the pay, and the two pounds are never ambiguous with them, it is worth them to walk a few more kilometers.

The wild boar was tied to a wooden stick, and Yu Hu and Li Niu were each carrying one shoulder, and next to them was a little guy with a face and ears that were red from the cold.

There are not many xenos wandering outside in this weather, and the marauders rarely leave the stronghold, Xiaoyu is clamoring to come, but Yu Hu can't resist his sister, so he takes her with him.

Although the weather was very cold, thinking that he would be able to see Brother Chu again soon, Xiao Yu was in a very happy mood, and unconsciously hummed a freshly made minor tune.

At this time, the footsteps of the second brother and the cousin suddenly stopped.

Xiaoyu also stopped and blinked.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Yu Hu made a shushing gesture to Xiao Yu, then looked at Li Niu and pointed ahead.

"Nomads."

Li Niu also saw the figure in the distance, but he was still unsure.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm."

Li Niu asked in a low voice.

"How can the nomads be here?"

Yu Hu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand, and shook his head.

"I don't know, maybe Brother Chu kindly took them in."

Brother Chu is very good and very practical, but he is too kind, and sometimes people can't help but worry about whether he will be deceived by others.

To be honest, every time he exchanged his prey for something, Yu Hu felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

The salt bought from here was not adulterated at all, and it was given a lot more than old Charlie.

I'm really worried that he's going to lose money.

Xiao Yu looked up at the second brother and cousin, and blinked his eyes wide in curiosity, not understanding what they were talking about.

She doesn't understand what a nomad is.

I don't think it's strange for them to be here.

Brother Chu is such a good person, there must be many people who want to be neighbors with him, right?

However, what was not strange to her was still a little strange in the eyes of Yu Hu and Li Niu.

Whether it is a way of life or cultural practices, these nomads from far away are different from survivors who have a fixed home.

Because they have no fixed home, they don't care what their neighbors think of them, and they rarely pay attention to whether their actions offend others.

Prejudice, perhaps, but they are rich in thieves, liars, and villains, and sometimes bring terrible plagues......

Yu Hu pulled his sister and waited for the man to go away, before beckoning Li Niu to continue walking.

The group was careful not to make contact with the outcasts, and after showing the pass to the guards, they went straight to the outpost from the south gate.

It's not the same as the last time I was here, but it's a bit of a big change.

Yu Hu remembers very well that the last time he came here, the road from the south gate to the warehouse was a dirt road, and there was nothing next to it.

Now, not only is the road covered with a layer of gray and dust, but it is also solid when stepped on, and several red brick houses have been built on both sides of the road.

Especially the largest house, the gate was tightly closed, and a chimney was built with bricks on top, and black smoke floated from it.

Yu Hu had never seen such a strange building, and neither had his sister and Li Niu next to him, and their eyes widened with curiosity.

"Brother, what's that?"

"It must be a chimney, I remember the mayor of the town upstairs."

"Chimneys? What's that for? ”

"Looks like cooking? I remember it was the smoke from cooking. ”

"But it's not time to eat yet."

"I don't know, maybe...... It's a place where a lot of people cook. ”

There's nothing so weird about Bate Street anyway.

In stark contrast to the curious expressions on the faces of the three of them, the blue coats here were not as curious about them as before.

In addition to the last batch of newcomers who just came in, the players here are already familiar with these few, and they should be curious.

I happened to meet Chu Guang who was wandering around in the industrial area.

Yu Hu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he greeted him from afar.

"Brother Chu."

"Hey, it's been a long time, and you've caught game again?" Looking at the wild boar that Yu Hu and Li Niu were carrying on their shoulders, a smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

Not bad.

Blessed!

The players had eaten all the wild boar meat last time, so this time he had to save some for himself, so he didn't buy it all.

"Hmmm! It's a big one! ”

Xiao Yu happily gestured with her hand to make a big gesture, and Chu Guang couldn't help but smile at her.

Glancing at his sister, Yu Hu said in a loud voice.

"Little fish misses you."

"Hmmm! Little fish misses you! ”

"I miss you too," Chu Guang smiled and rubbed Xiaoyu's little head, looked at Yu Hu and said, "That shed is where you live now?" ”

"Well," Yu Hu nodded, and said with an embarrassed smile, "I repaired the shed a little, and now it looks much more spacious than before, thank you." ”

"Don't thank me, it was sent to you by Xiaoyu, just be nice to your sister." Chu Guang continued, "Speaking of which, how have you been doing lately, have there been any marauders harassing you? ”

"Marauders? We haven't seen those people lately, and we're all fine, but you have to be careful," Yu Hu's expression became serious, and he said seriously, "I heard from some old people that there lived in the north with a group of people who used bloody handprints as flags, and a few hunters were captured when they went to the north to look for deer...... They were the ones who hurt my brother and my dad last time! ”

Bloody handprints?

Are you talking about the Bloody Hand Clan?

However, they probably don't have a chance to continue their evil.

Chu Guang smiled faintly and said lightly.

"Don't worry, they won't be harassing you anymore."

Hearing this, Yu Hu and Li Niu suddenly had surprised expressions on their faces, only Xiao Yu had a question mark on his face, and he didn't understand what the adults were saying from beginning to end.

However, when it comes to the last time, she does remember a little.

“…… Speaking of which, the last time Xiaoyu saw it, there were two very fierce-looking men who took away a very beautiful and beautiful sister from Bate Street. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu's interjection, Chu Guang's heart moved and asked.

"That sister, isn't it very white? Probably...... So high. ”

Chu Guang gestured, probably near his nose.

Xiao Yu frowned and thought about it, nodded seriously, and said with wide eyes.

"Uh-huh! Has Brother Chu seen that big sister? ”

Don't say I've seen it......

The expression is somewhat intriguing.

Chu Guang thought for a while, and finally used a euphemism to brush over this topic that was too heavy for her.

"That sister...... Well, I sent her away. ”

That person was indeed sent by the old mayor.

As he spoke, Chu Guang looked at Yu Hu and Li Niu.

"Let's not talk about that, it's so cold outside, if you can trust it, throw the wild boar to old Luca to deal with, and come and sit in the house with me for a while?"

Yu Hu and Li Niu nodded immediately.

"Hmm!"

"Okay!"

……

Li Niu is not very familiar with Chu Guang, but Yu Hu is very familiar with Chu Guang.

It is even no exaggeration to say that Brother Chu is the most trusted outsider besides his closest relatives.

If he hadn't helped him in danger, his eldest brother would have died in his hospital bed.

It's a life-saving gesture.

Besides, Yu Hu didn't think that a good person like Brother Chu would be greedy for a few pieces of meat. If he really wants it, give it to him.

In Yu Hu's view, this is also how it should be.

Chu Guang took the three of them to the main building of the sanatorium, and there was a room on the first floor that was quite spacious and airtight, which had been transformed into a reception room by him.

There are simple pieces of furniture made by a few new life pros in the carpentry hut.

After Chu Guang lit a charcoal fire and settled the three of them, he went back to the shelter and took a bottle of wine and a bottle of milk from the refrigerator.

Milk was given to the small fish.

As for the wine, Chu Guang pulled Yu Hu and the two of them to sit in front of the brazier, divided a small cup for each of them, and poured a glass for each of them.

The amount is not much, only about 20ml.

"Taste it."

Yu Hu leaned closer to the cup and sniffed it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's ...... Wine?! ”

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Stuffed with croissants, koji made of knotweed."

Li Niu also said with admiration.

"It smells so good!"

No, it should be said that it is too extravagant!

In this hellish winter, there is still surplus grain to make wine.

Yu Hu and Li Niu were envious.

In previous years, only in the fat year when the days were particularly good, the elders of the family would use the old grain left over from last year to make a little turbid grain wine, and only take it out when special festivals or happy events were kept.

In particular, green barley is acidic, so it is impossible to make wine, and if you want to make wine, you must use croissant potatoes, or a kind of fruit picked in the wild.

But that kind of fruit can only be seen in autumn and summer, and there is no chance of it at all.

It's a rare thing to be able to take a sip of a warm drink in this weather.

"Shhh

Yu Hu is okay, the amount of alcohol should be good, Li Niu, this young man, looks strong, but after this mouthful, his whole face turned red into a monkey's buttocks.

Looking at this spicy young man who stuck out his tongue, Chu Guang smiled and said.

"The degree is a bit high, drink it slowly."

After all, it's distilled spirits.

The mutated potato version of vodka, spicy throat is normal.

In fact, Chuguang brewed wine not for drinking, and the reason why the warehouse opened orders in this area was mainly to reserve alcohol for medical use.

It's just that the players are too worry-free for him.

Since the death penalty has been lowered a few times, players who have been seriously injured have consciously walked back on their own and found a place to make up for themselves.

This alcohol injury is not used, and there is no chance to use it for minor injuries, and there is only a chance to use some wounds that need to be stitched.

With the first experience, the two young men were much more cautious and did not drink so quickly. After a sip of wine, the body that was originally frozen instantly warmed up.

"Your life here is too good." Looking at the rising brazier, Yu Hu said with envy.

"It will be better," Chu Guang poured another small cup for the two of them, and said with a smile, "You can come often in the future, we need manpower here, not just hunting, there are many things that can be done." ”

Yu Hu patted his chest and said.

"No problem! Brother Chu, if you have a place to use me, just say it! ”

Li Niu on the side also nodded.

"Me too."

Chu Guang smiled.

"Don't worry, I won't let you help in vain."

At this time, Xiao Yu, who was sitting next to him and sipping milk, finally finished drinking the milk, and licked his lips with a satisfied expression.

Yu Hu was amused and asked with a smile.

"Is it good?"

"Hmm!" Xiao Yu nodded vigorously, little stars flashed in his eyes, and he gave a thumbs up, "Mommy's taste!" ”

Yu Hu: "? ”

Li Niu: "? ”

Chu Guang: "......?" ”

……

The butcher took the meat quickly, and after sitting in the room for a while, Luca knocked on the door and walked into the reception room, and said respectfully to Chu Guang.

"Your lord, your guest's prey has been dealt with."

Chu Guang nodded and looked at the two who were slightly drunk.

"Let's go, go get your prey."

The group came to the front of the warehouse.

Luca had already packed the meat in a plastic bag and handed it to Yu Hu and Li Niu, and as for the fur, it was changed to 300g of salt as usual.

As for the shaved internal organs and bones, they were all in a plastic bucket on the side, and the two of them didn't plan to ask for them, so they stayed here.

Seeing that his brothers were about to leave, Xiao Yu was a little hesitant.

After thinking for a long time, she gently tugged at Yu Hu's sleeve, motioned for him to lower his head and lean over, and whispered something in his ear.

When Yu Hu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said with an urn.

"Then what's the matter, our family has caused enough trouble to Brother Chu!"

"But ......"

"No, but, this won't work!"

Hearing that the content of the discussion between the two seemed to be related to himself, Chu Guang glanced at the brother and sister curiously.

"What are you talking about?"

Seeing Chu Guang looking at him, Yu Hu's expression was a little embarrassed, and he was thinking about how to speak.

However, at this time, the sister standing next to him plucked up her courage and spoke glutinously.

"Xiao Yu also wants to be like his brother and be able to help Brother Chu. After all...... You don't need Xiaoyu to help you take care of the house, and you invited Xiaoyu to eat so much sugar. ”

"Sugar?"

Yu Hu was stunned and glared at his sister.

"When did you eat other people's food? Didn't Dad teach you not to eat what others gave you? ”

All he knew was that his sister seemed to have taken some plastic sticks, but he hadn't heard that it was sugar.

It's a lot more valuable than salt!

Knowing that he was "at a loss", the little fish who was stared at by the elder brother had red ears, and he didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't say it, and twisted his neck as if he didn't hear it.

Looking at the brother and sister, Chu Guang said with a smile: "Your brother can't be regarded as doing me a favor, we should count ...... Trade? Or you can think of it as a reward. ”

The little fish raised its head, its eyes sparkling.

"Then, if Xiaoyu helps, will he also be paid?"

"Of course ......"

The eyes of the little fish are brighter.

"So, can you get paid for sugar?"

There are a lot of things like lollipops, Chu Guang has a lot of them, after all, they are the guaranteed rewards of the primary blind box, and they can be drawn again even if they finish eating.

It's just that Chu Guangzhen didn't think that this thing would come in handy on such an occasion.

"If you're looking to help me, I have a job for you, and it's an important job. But...... It's so far from your house, it's a long way to get here, is it really okay? ”

Chu Guang looked at Yu Hu.

I thought that he, who was an elder brother, would persuade him, but he didn't expect that Yu Hu, the kid, was shaking his head like a rattle just now, and he actually rebelled on the spot.

"No problem, as long as it can help you! Brother Chu, if you don't dislike it, your sister will live with you, and you will save a lot of travel along the way! ”

Before Chu Guang could react, Xiao Yu also nodded excitedly and raised his little arm.

"Oh! Xiaoyu is already an adult and can take care of herself! ”

Li Niu didn't know what to say, but he felt that he should help, so he thought for a long time and held back a sentence.

"I can help with the shed...... I'm going to pick up something. ”

Chu Guang coughed dryly, stopping this guy's mindless move.

“…… Not necessarily. ”
