"I may also have some ability," Ren Xiaosu said.
Yan Liuyuan, who was sitting at the door of the shack with the curtain open to look at the starry sky after the rain, was stunned for a moment: "You mean..."
"I'm not sure yet, I have to give it a try. That's all." Ren Xiaosu sat on the floor next to Yan Liuyuan: "There are rumors in the market town that some people can make a train sail from nothingness to reality. I didn't believe it before. It was only after I met you that I started to believe it a little bit. Now I may have it too. Strange ability, this feeling is very strange."
Yan Liuyuan's ability is luck.
This is a very inexplicable ability. When Yan Liuyuan wished that Ren Xiaosu could hunt prey, even if Ren Xiaosu was walking in the wilderness and doing nothing, sparrows would fall in front of him inexplicably.
However, this ability has backlash, which usually results in Yan Liuyuan having a high fever after making a wish, or other minor illnesses or disasters.
This is why Ren Xiaosu wanted to protect Yan Liuyuan in the first place. He didn't believe it at first, but later he couldn't believe it.
Suddenly a shooting star flashed across the sky. Yan Liuyuan subconsciously put his hands together to make a wish, but was stopped by Ren Xiaosu: "Don't make random wishes, something will happen."
Nowadays, Ren Xiaosu rarely takes advantage of Yan Liuyuan's luck. He said it was because he was able to catch prey and no longer needed Yan Liuyuan's ability. Yan Liuyuan never refuted it.
The skinny Yan Liuyuan looked at the disappearing meteor and said, "Why do meteors fly so fast? What if everyone has no time to make a wish?"
Ren Xiaosu thought about it He wanted to say: "Maybe it flies so fast because it doesn't want to hear your wishes at all."
Yan Liuyuan turned around and looked at Ren Xiaosu blankly: "..."
...
Yan Liuyuan is Ren Xiaosu's night watchman, but it doesn't mean that he has to watch all night. Ren Xiaosu will replace him in the meantime. After all, Yan Liuyuan still needs to go to class during the day.
This situation is very painful, and not getting enough sleep is a big problem. But living in this environment, neither Ren Xiaosu nor Yan Liuyuan has any choice.
In the early morning, Ren Xiaosu led Yan Liuyuan out, taking all the valuable things with him, even his big iron pot.
There was no surprise that when they returned to their shack at night, the shack must have been turned over.
“I heard that the doors in the refuge barrier are open at night and no one steals anything at all,” Yan Liuyuan carried a bedroll on his back, and then watched Ren Xiaosu carrying the big iron pot wherever he went. It was almost all they had. Everything is lost.
On weekdays, Yan Liuyuan has to carry his blanket when he goes to school. The same goes for other students. Everyone is used to it.
“Fart.” Although Ren Xiaosu longed for the life inside the asylum barrier, he firmly did not believe that there was any place in the world where the doors were open at night: “Some people think that people in the asylum barrier fart. It’s fragrant and the air is sweet.”
“Then you don’t either.You can always run around carrying a pot," Yan Liuyuan said.
"What do you know," Ren Xiaosu explained: "I finally picked up this pot. It can cook and catch. Sparrow, how would we live our lives without this? ”
Ren Xiaosu carried the iron pot on his shoulder with one hand and the huge sparrow with the other. As he walked on the road, many people cast envious glances at Ren Xiaosu.< /p>
You must know that in today’s species order, humans are no longer the top species in the food chain.
People say that sparrows in the past were less than the size of a hand, but what about now? This thing can kill someone with one bite.
Not everyone has the ability to catch sparrows, and not everyone has the patience to lie down in the wilderness for a day and a night. Everyone has not seen a meat fish in several years. It’s a lie if you don’t envy Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu brought Yan Liuyuan to the gate of the refuge fortress. The towering wall gave people a great sense of oppression.
When they arrived, The buildings have changed, and you can even see brick and stone houses.
The closer you get to the barrier, the cleaner, neater, and wealthier it looks. The people living here are similar to those in the refuge barrier. It's more or less a relationship, maybe it's good flattery, maybe there are relatives inside.
But no matter what, these refugees are collectively called "polluted" people and they can't get in. Going to the fortress.
Ren Xiaosu walked into a room with the word "Grocery Store" written on the door. There were cigarettes, matches, ironware, food, and clothes for sale, but the prices were very low. Expensive.
The old man in the room was particularly happy when he saw Ren Xiaosu: "This sparrow looks quite big! "
Ren Xiaosu threw the sparrow on the glass counter: "How much? "
"Oh, please be gentle, this glass is precious," Lao Wang said distressedly, and then he threw the sparrow on the iron scale next to him: "Three catties and six taels, that's okay. Xiaosu. ”
At this time, the abacus in Lao Wang’s hand clacked, and his withered hands like chicken feet seemed to be wound up. The abacus jingled: “Today’s market price is one pound.” One hundred dollars, you think this is 700! "
"9 said: "Winter is coming soon, and there are few sparrows recently, so 900 cannot be less."
Old Wang was not happy, and he put the abacus in front of Ren Xiaosu. Tweet: "We are sending this to the barrier for the nobles to eat. It is true that there is a shortage of meat in the barrier, but everything has a price. We have to follow the rules."
The words just finished. , Lao Wang saw Ren Xiaosu next to the sparrow and turned around to go out. He quickly grabbed the sleeve of Ren Xiaosu's torn coat: "Where are you going?"
"I'll ask Lao Li about the prices at the grocery store over there. Go," Ren Xiaosu said.
Old Wang's hand suddenly tightened. Today, there was a person in charge of the fortress who specifically told him to collect game meat. He and his family were not the only ones to know this news. He
Lao Wang smiled and said, "How much do you want to sell it for?"
Ren Xiaosu stillWanted to leave: "I'll ask about the price first."
Lao Wang smiled very amiably: "Wouldn't that delay six yuan of school time? 900 is 900!"
" What did you mean by your last sentence?" Ren Xiaosu asked calmly.
"That's not a delay..."
"One more sentence."
"How much do you want to sell it for?"
" 1200."
Lao Wang: "? ?"
After a while, Lao Wang counted the money over and over with his saliva, afraid that he would lose it. Wrong.
The final transaction price was 1198, and Ren Xiaosu also made his own concession...
A sparrow sold for 1198, not because the price was too high, nor because the sparrow was big, but mainly because the sparrow was too big. It’s because you can’t usually eat wild game in Refuge 113.
Things are rare and valuable, and Lao Wang will not engage in money-losing business. If he sells this sparrow to a powerful family, he can make a small profit and gain some favors. .
Lao Wang stuffed a lot of change into Ren Xiaosu's hand with a distressed look on his face. At this moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiaosu, next time you have to catch a sparrow." Don't kill them directly. If someone wants to live, the price will be higher."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment: "Why do you want to kill now?"
"No," Lao Wang shook his head: "You don't understand, this is someone who wants to raise sparrows for fun!"
