Jiang Ran accepted the sweet potato, held his aunt's hand and reminded: "Take care, if necessary, you can sprinkle some wormwood ash and realgar around the house, maybe it will be safer." ”

Wormwood and realgar already have an insect repellent effect, and in the last days, the effect of these two things will be multiplied, and they are the most common insect repellent items used by survivors of the end times.

The aunt waved a few people away, and looking at the departing pedestrians one by one, she sat back under the tree, rocking the chair and waiting for the next pedestrian passing by to beg for water.

Coming out of the village, the five walked towards the asphalt road, but the temperature of the asphalt road was too high, and they had to walk along the side of the road.

Ji Qinglin complained: "No wonder there is no one on the road from a distance, it turns out that the temperature above is so high." ”

Yu Xiaowan said with a smile: "The black asphalt pavement is heat-absorbing, and the temperature is naturally much higher than the surrounding area. ”

The five men followed the large force slowly, with the occasional car speeding past on the road, and some armed policemen protecting along the way, all of them armed with loaded guns and ammunition, staring at the restless elements along the way.

A young man suddenly fell down as he walked, and the people around him looked at him and continued to walk forward.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man in a white T-shirt stepped forward, took the large water bottle he was carrying, gave the young man a sip, and poured some more on his face.

The seven or eight-year-old girl next to the middle-aged man kept fanning the fan in her hand to cool down the young man, and the woman next to her gently rubbed the girl's head.

The young man slowly woke up, got up and thanked the three of them, and the middle-aged man shook his head with a smile and helped the young man to continue walking.

On the long road of migration, from time to time people fall down and get up, and some people never get up again.

Jiang Ran and the five of them continued to move forward, two black cars were parked on the side of the road in front of them, and a young man in his thirties sat in the courtyard and watched the pedestrians passing by in front of the door, with a very leisurely expression.

Jiang Ran turned around and said to Ji Qingcheng and the others behind him: "Do you want to go over and ask, the two cars should be a family, and one of them will not affect them much." ”

Yu Xiaowan frowned, "Can people sell us in this situation now?" We don't have anything to exchange. ”

Jiang Ran said: "If you ask, you will have a chance, and if you don't ask, you will not have a chance." ”

Glancing at the young man who was sitting, Ji Qingcheng said, "I'll be with you, in case there is a situation, I can help." ”

Jiang Ran nodded, "Hmm." ”

Then, the two walked towards the small western-style building on the side of the road, Ji Qingcheng was waiting on the side of the road, Jiang Ran walked into the courtyard and asked, "May I ask if these two cars are yours?" ”

The young man looked at Jiang Ran and said with great certainty: "I want to buy a car." ”

Jiang Ran nodded, "Are you willing to sell one?" ”

Glancing at Jiang Ran up and down, the young man continued: "We have two cars, and it's not impossible to sell one to you, but you also know what the situation is now, so I'm afraid you can't afford this price." ”

Jiang Ran smiled: "Let's talk about it, maybe we can afford it." ”

The young man looked joking, "We want a thousand catties of grain, do you have it?" ”

"Nope."

Jiang Ran shook her head decisively, there was enough food in her space, but it was impossible to take it out now, so that her golden finger would be exposed, and her life could still be held?

Seeing the young man's smug look, Jiang Ran continued: "Although I can't afford the price, no one else on this road can afford this price. Even if there were, it would be impossible for anyone to replace a broken car. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Ran carefully observed the young man's expression reactions and small movements, and saw that he had been staring at him, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said with a displeased expression: "Tell me the real price, right?" ”

Suddenly, the young man burst out laughing, "What else is worth on your body besides your backpack?" Even if the bag is full of food, it's not worth my car. ”

Jiang Ran said lightly: "So? ”

The young man said fearlessly, "Let's exchange something else." ”

"No need."

Without waiting for Jiang Ran to answer, Ji Qingcheng, who had been paying attention to this, spoke, he walked to Jiang Ran's side, looked at the young man condescendingly, lowered his head and whispered in Jiang Ran's ear: "There are a lot of people hidden in the house." ”

Jiang Ran suddenly reacted, this guy put two cars in the courtyard, obviously to attract people to come to inquire, and then drove a sky-high price to raise the psychological expectations of the comers, and then take advantage of the fire to rob.

Men rob money, women rob sex, it's really a good calculation.

She looked at the young man and sneered, "Be careful to steal chickens and rice." ”

Jiang Ran and Ji Qingcheng left, the young man looked at the two of them with an unkind expression, and seeing that they had other companions, the young man withdrew his eyes and continued to sit down in the courtyard, waiting for the next big fat sheep who threw himself into the net.

After leaving, Jiang Ran and the others never saw the car again.

Nowadays, every family is aware of the importance of automobiles, and they hide their cars tightly, and almost no family will sell their vehicles.

Jiang Ran also stopped thinking about getting a car, and he couldn't grab one.

As night falls, the number of pedestrians on the road begins to decrease, some people choose to stop on the side of the road to rest or go to nearby houses to spend the night, while others take advantage of the relatively cool night to continue their journey by moonlight.

Jiang Ran and the five of them chose to move on, hurrying as much as possible at night and resting as much as possible during the day.

Under the bright starry sky, the dark earth is quiet and dangerous, the insects in the mountains and forests and grasses are constantly chirping, and occasionally there are bursts of birds in the mountains.

Because of the dim light around them, Jiang Ran and the five of them were close together, only one step apart from each other.

Giggles!

Suddenly, there was a sound of birds flapping their wings in the mountains and forests, and everyone immediately stopped, followed by a loud and distant howl.

"Whew~~"

Jiang Ran was shocked, "It's a wolf howl." ”

As soon as the words fell, a few loud responses came from the top of the mountain.

Guan Song panicked, "Wolves? ”

Quickly judging the location and distance of the wolf howl, Ji Qingcheng said: "Quick, find a place to hide, you can't stay outside, if you are surrounded by wolves, you will suffer." ”

Hearing this, several people hurriedly approached the houses on the side of the road, and other people on the road also began to run towards the village.

"Open the door."

"The wolves are coming, hurry up and open the door, let us in."

"Fellow open the door, please let us go in and hide, I can give you a lot of money."

"Help."

……

Frightened shouts came one after another, and everyone was afraid to knock on the doors of houses in the village, but basically no one was willing to open them.

The only family that had just opened the door was rushed into the house by a panicked crowd, and the owner's house was knocked on, trampled by the crowd and let out a cry of pain.

However, the surrounding light was dim, and many people could not see the situation in the house clearly, and when they heard the miserable screams, they were frightened, and they wanted to squeeze into the house even more violently.
