At the end of the change, there were only three quilts, five sweaters, and more than a dozen pairs of cotton socks left.
They also welcomed their last guest.
An old couple.
The two of them walked forward and looked at the only remaining supplies. The old woman looked up at the old man and opened her mouth, but stopped talking.
The old man naturally knew what his old wife wanted to say, so he patted the back of her hand that was supporting him and said to Gu Si:
"Hello, little girl, look at me What can these two things be exchanged for?"
At this time, Liu Ma was sorting out the remaining supplies in the carriage, while Gu Si looked at the last customer.
Gu Si took the two paintings handed over by the old man and opened them. One was a landscape painting and the other was a picture of a tiger descending a mountain.
"Sir, wait a moment, I will ask my young lady to identify it."
Looking at the old grandfather in front of him, his speech and behavior are very decent, his eyes are firm and bright, even though he is now Wearing unclean clothes cannot resist your own elegant temperament, giving people a literati style that has accumulated over the years.
For this kind of people, even though Gu Si has not liked studying since he was a child, he still maintains respect and awe.
As soon as Gu Si finished speaking, Gu Shen had already walked to the carriage door.
"Let me take a look."
He took the paintings handed over by Gu Si and looked at them one by one. They were all genuine.
Gu Shen looked up at the two old men and nodded to them.
"What do you want to change?"
The old man looked up at the only items left in the car, but his eyes did not find any food.
Feeling the contraction of the old wife's arms, she still spoke:
"Girl, to be honest, we originally wanted to come here in exchange for some food, so I take the liberty to ask. , can we still get food in exchange?"
He didn't mean to embarrass Gu Shen and the others. There was really nothing to eat at home. In this weather environment, he and his old wife could still live safely. They were very lucky. Almost all the other elderly people in their community died. For many reasons, they wanted to leave food for the younger generations at home.
Fortunately for them, they are the only two elderly people at home, so they don't have to worry about the younger generation. In addition, their son was worried that they would not be safe at home alone, so the safety issues at home have been enhanced.
Next, they relied on the food hoarded at home and their wife’s careful budgeting. Although they did not have enough to eat, they survived at least.
Despite this, in order to make people think that there is no food at home, they still have to go out to find food every day.
I am in poor health, so my wife does all the work of going out to look for food. Every time she brings back a little bit of food, that meager amount of food is not enough to make someone want to rob a hair. A grizzled old man.
In this way, he lived until the extremely cold era.
They were literally out of ammunition, ammunition, and supplies, and since they were both old, they didn't dare to compete with others in order to survive.
Today is already the third fruitless day. The two of them have not eaten anything for two days. Therefore, as soon as he heard that there was a material exchange here, the old man immediately took out his own Exchange two famous paintings from my collection.
We also have jewelry at home, but the old man is more far-sighted. He knows that if the future continues to be like this extreme natural disaster, the jewelry and gold may still be worth something and can be exchanged for a bite to eat, but he These collected famous paintings will definitely be a pile of waste paper, worthless.
So he took out his paintings and sold them first. Although he knew that his wife also had gold jewelry in her pocket, he still didn't want to change it now.
Especially when you see that there is no food in the carriage.
Gu Shu: "The food is gone."
The two old men just looked disappointed when they heard Gu Shu's next sentence.
"But I can make an exception and give you food from space in exchange."
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
There are three reasons why Gu Shen is willing to exchange.
She likes the temperament they exude, elegant and resolute.
2. She likes to collect antique calligraphy and paintings.
3. Once in her previous life, she was so hungry that she almost couldn't help but take a dead man's arm to eat. An old man gave one of the potatoes hidden in his arms to herself, giving herself life again. He has no hope of going down, and he has not taken the step of eating his fellow humans that will never be recovered.
According to what he said, the old man was once a professor. He also worked in a research unit in the safe zone at the beginning, taking care of food and housing. At least he didn't have to worry about life and death.
But unfortunately, he was fired from the research unit because he suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and was ostracized by others, so he could only wander outside.
Her brain was controlled at that time, and after completing the task, she was forced to return to Father Gu.
I never found the old man again.
But Gu Shen knew that such an old man would only die in the last days.
She regretted it many times after she was reborn.
I regret that I was controlled for a long time at that time. I didn’t like to talk. I didn’t ask for specific information or names of the people who helped me. Now that I have been reborn, I can’t find anyone to repay them.
She has a clear distinction between good and evil. She wants to take revenge on those who treat her badly, and she also wants to repay those who treat her well.
At the same time, she is also very casual. Except for what must be done, all actions follow her own wishes.
What you do now is just follow your heart.
She wants to do this.
The expressions on the faces of the two old men froze for a moment, and then turned into surprise and excitement.Heart.
"Girl, thank you. Girl, you just saved my life and the old man's life. Thank you very much."
The old lady couldn't help but spoke excitedly, She was already prepared to go to hell with her husband, but the girl in front of her gave them hope of life.
She really appreciates it.
"Yes, thank you so much. Little girl, just give it to me. As long as it's food, we all want it. To be honest, if we don't eat something, we two old guys won't live long." . ”
The old man is naturally happy. This is a turn of events. He knows his own situation. He suffers from severe stomach problems and has not eaten for a long time. His stomach is now like a knife.
But he didn’t want his wife to worry, so he kept it hidden. However, the pain prevented him from walking steadily.
This is why my wife always supports me.
When Gu Shen saw the two people in front of him who were not greedy but satisfied, his hands became looser.
I found a can of milk powder for middle-aged and elderly people from the space, and took out a bag of soy milk (there were 20 small bags in it), ten pounds of rice and ten pounds of millet, and then marinated Liu Ma in a big Coke bottle Give them a bottle of pickles and two sweaters that fit their size.
Finally, he took out two hot boiled eggs from the space and handed them to the two of them.
"Eat this first, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have the strength to take these things."
Looking at the food in front of her, the old woman was about to shed tears, and her eyes were hot. .
With these things, as long as they plan properly, they can live at least two or three months longer.
The old man was also moved. He knew that the girl in front of him had given too much, and he naturally knew that the two paintings now, even if they were genuine, were not worth these things.
But he will not refuse. Who wants to die if he can live.
