Chapter 1293: Gou in the Last Days of the Natural Disaster (21)
After walking around, Xu Yin found that there were really a lot of things that everyone took out to trade, and the most of them were luxury goods that used to be treasures, but now the price has dropped to a pack of instant noodles and no one patronizes them.
There are still many people who squat down to ask for the price of gold and other value-preserving goods, and those bags and luxury clothes that used to be bought for five or six or seven figures, but now only think they take up space, are really not wanted.
There are also some treasured paintings, calligraphy, antiques, and commemorative ones that have been purchased by the government, and some have been left to the stalls.
Xu Yin happily picked up the treasure.
Everyone present witnessed Xu Yin, a little dwarf, throwing away a sturdy adult man with one hand, and they were really shocked, although they wanted to see what else she would buy, they didn't dare to get too close to her, for fear of squeezing around to provoke her, and they were unhappy to throw them out.
The stall owners didn't dare to solicit too enthusiastically, so when Xu Yin passed by, they politely asked, "Does the uncle have anything you like?" The price is negotiable. ”
Xu Yin walked from stall to stall with great interest, bought what she liked, and spent a few packets of instant noodles, biscuits or noodles, rice, and a few purple cabbage leaves to bring home the treasures that used to only appear in private museums.
As soon as it was midnight, the bell rang to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
A group of special police comrades who maintain stability have also been replaced.
Xu Yin glanced at the woven bag that was almost full, it was time to go back.
Children always stay up late and won't grow tall.
She didn't want to grow up to be this short.
"Uncle, wait!"
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, carrying a storage box made of rubbing material in his left hand and a little boy of four or five years old in his right hand, panted and squeezed in front of her, "Do you want this?" ”
He opened the lid of the storage compartment, and inside was a pair of young milk dogs who had just completed the moon.
The young man's eyes were red: "Kuroko and Da Bai...... It's their parents, just like our parents, who are dead. I want to keep them, but ......"
The brothers' parents, who were originally grassroots civil servants, organized the evacuation of the people from their homes without basements, and out of kindness, they took off their warm coats and gave them to some elderly people who had no thick clothes, but they themselves froze to death before they could make it home to get home.
If the brothers hadn't had two big dogs snuggling up to keep warm, they would have frozen to death at home.
The base management took pity on the brothers and provided them with shelter and necessary living supplies. But their dogs couldn't come with them.
Pets are not allowed in the underground base, and the negative floors of the surrounding residences and shopping malls have become a shelter for pets, and the teenager has to leave his two big dogs there, and when the temperature rises during the day, he will walk two kilometers back and forth in a down jacket to see them, feed them and comb them, hoping that they will survive the winter.
However, after the shortage of supplies, people who did not have meat to eat started the idea of those pets in the shelter.
When he found out, his sunspot desperately protected his daughter-in-law and two cubs who had just completed the moon, but he was captured by the bad guys.
Dabai was depressed for a few days, but he couldn't survive Chinese New Year's Eve.
The two cubs, like them, became poor eggs without a father and mother.
He quietly brought them back to the base, but it was not always possible to keep them in a storage box, so what if they got bigger? Sooner or later, he will be caught stealing pets, and he is worried about what to do.
I just saw Xu Yin in the crowd buying a lot of calligraphy, painting, antiques and other luxury goods, and also gave a man with children a letter of noodles, thinking that the uncle is a principled person and has no shortage of food, so he wants to try his luck.
"What's your name?" Xu Yin asked gently.
"I, my name is Lin Chen, and this is my younger brother Lin Tao."
"Hello." Xu Yin took the storage box and touched the two little milk dogs, "What do you need?" ”
"Huh?" Reacting, Lin Chen hurriedly waved his hand, "We don't need it, we just want to find a good person to take them in, you shouldn't be from our base, it would be great if you could raise them." ”
"How do you know I'm not from this base?"
"Ah, because ......"
Lin Chen opened his mouth, embarrassed to say that it was because you were short.
Although tens of thousands of people live in this base, if there was a dwarf who was only as tall as an adult's waist and had enough strength to throw an adult more than ten meters with one hand, it would have spread all over the world.
Xu Yin saw that the time was not early, so she didn't talk to them much, covered the storage box, and said that she was willing to leave with the two little milk dogs.
Before leaving, she stuffed a paper bag into Lin Chen's coat pocket: "Take your brother to live well, and see you next time!" ”
"Brother......
Lin Tao watched Xu Yin leave with the sunspot and the big white cub, his eyes full of reluctance.
But he was so sensible that he didn't say anything.
Until the brothers returned to their small single room of eight square meters.
This single room, where the door is closed and you can secretly take a breath, can be said to be the treatment that their parents have won for them with their lives.
Otherwise, they, like most of the victims, will have to live in a chase shop with no privacy. And Lin Tao is only four years old, so he won't give him a bed alone, and the brothers have to squeeze a 90-centimeter bunk together.
Lin Chen took out the paper bag in his pocket.
"Brother, what is this?"
"I don't know, Uncle gave it."
After dismantling, it was found to be several high-calcium high-iron compressed biscuits and chocolate.
"Wow-"
Seeing the long-lost chocolate, Lin Tao opened his mouth in surprise, "Qiao......"
"Shh
Lin Chen hurriedly covered his younger brother's mouth and motioned for him to be quiet.
There are many people who covet their single room, and if it weren't for the patrols coming to see them from time to time, they might have been robbed within two days of moving in.
Lin Tao comprehended, covered his mouth with his little hands, and asked in a child's unique voice: "Uncle gave it to us?" ”
"Hmm. Uncle is a good man! ”
Lin Chen broke a small piece of chocolate and fed it to his younger brother, and he hid the rest in a small iron box under the bed.
These are all durable foods, which cannot be eaten all at once, and must be kept for life-saving.
At that time, Xu Yin left the trading area with a woven bag and a storage box.
Sensing a few tails behind her, Xu Yin turned a corner, avoided a few surveillance probes that were not sure if they were working, and used light skills to get on a nearby tree that had not been crushed by the snow.
"What about people?"
"Strange thing, the footprints are broken here! Where will they hide? There's no other base around here. ”
"Could it be the house? I've heard of a lot of people dumping their pets in the underground parking lot there. ”
"But the footprints are broken here."
There are still a lot of tails that come out, and no one dares to use their brains after seeing Xu Yinlu's hand, but they want to know where so many instant noodles in her hand come from.
Every day, the steamed buns and the corn porridge are gone, and the beaks are fading out of the birds.
"Could it be that you went into someone else's house to find it? For example, I left a lot of food at home, and it was so cold that I couldn't stay for a moment, so I fled to the base with a few light bags on my back. You said that if you go back and get it now, it will be fine, right? ”
"That's right! Shopping malls and supermarkets have been taken over by the government, but residents will never go in and search their homes. On such a cold day, how many are willing to travel a long way back to get it? As long as we take enough measures to protect against the cold, won't we get rich when we go back and come back? ”
"Tomorrow?"
"Go!"
