In the dilapidated shack of Zhou's house, Ning Zhe noticed Zhou Xu's embarrassment and took the initiative to change the subject: "Thank you for helping me with today's affairs!"

"I also learned the news by accident. The child just came back and told me that when he was picking up garbage outside, he heard that a mercenary was registering the refugees who were not at home tonight. Those fortresses said that if someone can provide clues, it may be possible The reward is 50 yuan! He also said that there seems to be some robbers here. If anyone can know the exact information about the robbers, the reward will be 5,000 yuan! At that time, the child said that he saw Hu Zhida go to those mercenaries, and I felt that he was at stake. You!" Zhou Xu said everything he knew: "You also know that those guys in the fortress never treat us refugees as human beings! If you are targeted by them, you will be completely dangerous!"

"Without you, it's really hard for me to explain tonight." Ning Zhe nodded and took out all the cash on his body: "Brother Zhou, keep the money and let your sister-in-law take it to the market town to start a small business! But don't do it too big, or you won't be able to protect them once they are targeted!"

"Xiao Zhe, why do you have so much money?" Zhou Xu saw the cash in Ning Zhe's hand, and the corners of his eyes jumped: "It's almost winter now, it's not easy for everyone, I can't take this money!"

"I have the skills to hunt, I can't starve to death anywhere! Take it!" Ning Zhe put the money into Zhou Xu's hands and turned away.

In the shack with air leaks everywhere, Zhou Xu held the cash with Ning Zhe's body temperature, and two lines of tears fell on the amputated leg.

Zhou Xu's leg was broken a few years ago to save Ning Zhe's adoptive father. After Mr. Lin was gone, if Ning Zhe hadn't been taking care of the Zhou family, the three of them would have starved to death long ago.

Many people in the market town said that Ning Zhe was cold-blooded, but at the same time he also knew that those who were kind to him had to repay him.

If not, next time you encounter something, no one will take care of you.

All human exchanges in the wasteland have a purpose, and this is the reality.

…

After Ning Zhe returned home, he held the urine-soaked trousers in his hands and baked them on the edge of the charcoal basin.

"Brother, we escaped the inspection of the mercenaries, are we all right?" Lin Xun asked Ning Zhe as he roasted a potato on a wooden stick.

"It should be safe for the time being, but I really didn't expect that we could make such a big fuss without killing people, and let those mercenaries leave the fortress to search at night. If I knew this, we are here. When you start, you shouldn't leave your mouth open." Ning Zhe muttered a little regretfully.

"We just robbed things, and it caused such a big commotion. If we kill people, the situation will definitely be worse than now! If there is a death in the city, the excuse just now may not really let us mix up. Go!" Lin Xun flipped the stick of roasted potatoes in his hand: "Now that Dongbao and the others are dead, it will be even more difficult for us to hunt! Brother, you said, can we survive this winter?"

"Remember what your dad said to us? Since you can't see hope, create it yourself!" Ning Zhe then touched his dry pants: "Go to bed early, before Dongbao died, Didn't he say that he has a younger brother in the north of the city! We have to find him tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, Ning Zhe and Lin Xun had already arrived at the north of the city when a faint golden light appeared on the horizon.

Because of the thin atmosphere today, the sun shines on the body for a long time, which will cause people to have an intolerable allergic reaction. Therefore, at noon, the two did not dare to stay in the wasteland, but retreated to the nearest market town to avoid the scorching sun.

Lin Xun took out his last twenty dollars, bought a pot of water and two bean cakes at the roadside stall, and squatted under the shade of the roadside with Ning Zhe. The prices in the market town were very high, far exceeding The ability of the refugee class to bear, if you do not work in factories, it is extremely difficult to survive.

"Brother, I just chatted with the owner of the bean cakes. He said that a while ago, there was a plague in the village here, and many people were exiled, which led to changes in the personnel structure of many refugee villages. We think Finding Li Dongfa after searching for a needle in a haystack, I'm afraid it won't be easy!" Lin Xun handed the water bladder in his hand to Ning Zhe, and said a little dejectedly, "If he is also exiled, it will be even more troublesome!"

"If you can't find it in one day, then in two days, I have to do what I promised Dongbao." Ning Zhe was mentally prepared for this, and took a sip from the kettle.

While the two were chatting, a thin little girl stood in front of the two of them, watching the black bean cakes in their hands swallowing continuously: "Uncle! Give me something to eat!"

Seeing this, Lin Xun instinctively wanted to break open the bean cake.

"Snapped!"

Ning Zhe grabbed Lin Xun's arm: "Eat your food, don't mind your own business!"

"Brother, this is still a child..." Lin Xun opened his mouth to explain.

"Fuck off!" Ning Zhe reprimanded the little girl, and continued to eat: "She can survive in a market town at her age, maybe the food that comes every day is more than what you have, we both want to go hunting, It's already very difficult. When you don't have the ability to survive, you must first learn to save yourself, not to show your compassion. Otherwise, when you have no food and choose to beg for food, it will be much more difficult than that child. One will sympathize with an adult."

In refugee areas, it is not uncommon for good-hearted people to give alms to beggars, but it is not uncommon for them to be killed by beggars because of their wealth.

After listening to Ning Zhe's words, Lin Xun broke the bean cake in half, put it in his pocket, and ate the other half in three or two bites.

"I asked passers-by just now. I heard that many of the people left behind after the plague have moved to Xincun in the east! Let's go, let's go there and find out." Ning Zhe ate half a bean cake, wearing a spicy one. The sun is integrated into the flow of people.

Half an hour later, the two of them had arrived at the edge of the market town. The junction between the market town and the wasteland was mixed with dragons and snakes, and it was an extremely disordered area.

Lin Xun stood at the intersection and looked at a sign that said "Dongfa BBQ" hanging in front of a shack in the distance. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com patted Ning Zhe's arm: "Brother! That sign is the same as that of Brother Dongbao. His younger brother has the same name, do you think he is the person we are looking for?"

Ning Zhe glanced at the signboard and nodded, "Go and have a look!"

When the two walked around the shack, they saw a little fat man standing behind a stall made of yellow mud. In the charcoal pit on the stall, there were also a few strings of skinned mice threaded with wooden sticks, but the fat man was not paying attention to the mice. , but looked at a girl in front of him.

"Afa, I'm getting married... I'm sorry!" The girl sobbed and looked at the fat man: "I can't wait for you! You always tell me that you will succeed! But my family and I look at you. There is no hope. The person I want to marry is the son of a security guard. After I get married, his father can arrange for my father and my brother to work in the water factory! In the future, you should not set up a stall to sell roasted mice, relying on this kind of business , your life will never get better! You can't get rid of your status as a refugee!"

"Xiaomei, it's me who should say sorry! I've delayed you for so many years, thank you for being willing to accompany me to this day, and I hope you can go higher and farther! I will always bless you and wish you all the best in the future. !" Fatty held back his tears and clenched his fists hidden under the booth.

The girl pursed her lips and looked sad: "Do you... have anything else to say to me?"

"...Are you going to cook with mice at your wedding? One is also at a wholesale price! Let you eat real benefits!" The fat man said tearfully.

girl:"???"

Lin Xun, who was not far away, was stunned when he heard Fatty's words, and then slapped his thigh: "Oh, fuck! This guy is a pure business genius! Look at the situation! The wife has run away, and I haven't forgotten it. Selling rats!"?
