When we were near the outside of Xiacheng, it was exactly noon. It hadn't snowed in the past two days. The weather was very good, but there was a thick layer of snow on the ground. The temperature was as low as ever. Tang Shi didn't want to be blown away by the cold wind again. With a paralyzed expression, he let the Red Winged Dragon walk down to the ground and move forward in the legless snow.
The red-winged dragon despises these two masters infinitely. They are sitting comfortably, but it is going to suffer. Now in the snow, every step is very difficult, and it wants to throw the master off...
Yanxu hugged Tang Shi's waist, and Tang Shi leaned in Yanxu's warm arms, communicating with the system over and over again in his mind.
[The price is unreasonable and the transaction cannot be completed.]
Tang Shi: "Is there something wrong with your system? You want to collect energy stones. Okay, I found them for you. Now you tell me that the purchase conditions are based on blocks. Look at these energy stones of mine. One It’s so big, do you still need to measure it in blocks?”
[The energy in each energy stone is fixed. The energy is the same if it is as big as a thumb or a fist.]
Tang Shi: "Are you kidding me? The volumes are different, but you tell me the energy is the same? My elementary school math teacher didn't teach me math, thank you!"
[The system measurement technology will not make mistakes. If the host wants cotton clothes and food, it must exchange them according to the specified quantity, otherwise the transaction cannot be completed.]
Tang Dynasty: "..."
System, you are actually a black-hearted businessman, right? Okay, I won’t exchange it now. When I go back, I will cut all this energy into the size of a fingernail, and then trade it with you piece by piece to see who can hack who!
Tang Shi angrily shut down the system, saying that he didn't want to talk to such a black-hearted system!
"How's it going? Are these energy stones enough?" Seeing Tang Shi huddled in his arms and becoming motionless, Yanxu knew that he had finished communicating with the system.
"The system is too evil. If you give it a mountain of energy, it won't be too much!" Tang Shi was angry.
In the new environment, the system has been updated with new abilities, and the name has also been changed from the original "Apocalyptic Survival System" to "Tianluo Continent Survival System". Tang Shi didn't know where the system got those things from. It feels like this time The system seems to be connected to countless planes. Whatever you want, the system can get it for you, but it must provide enough energy stones.
The mode of the system this time is very simple. There is no mall. What you want is all dictated by Tang Shi. Tang Shi has all the systems he wants, including cotton clothes, food, machines, etc., as long as you can think of it, The system can get it for you.
Tang Shi suddenly felt something in his heart and clicked on the system again, "I want two Peking ducks."
[Two Peking ducks and an energy stone.]
Tang Shi stared, the original world no longer existed. He just wanted to test whether the system was omnipotent, so he asked for this by name. Could it really be obtained
Fully aware of the evil heart of the system, Tang Shi bargained: "Two roast ducks need one energy stone. What a coincidence, you need a whole energy stone?"
[…Two bowls of hot soup are given for free, the system will not give change, thank you!]
Tang Shi almost spit out a mouthful of old blood! Look, look, he was easily defrauded. If he starts asking for two bowls of hot soup, maybe the system will ask him for an energy stone. Now it can be given as a gift after two roast ducks!
System, how evil are you
[Whether to trade now.]
Tang Shi gritted his teeth, "Even if you don't give me change, you still have to make up for the value of one of my energy stones! Give me four more sesame cakes!"
[Four pieces of sesame cakes, plus an energy stone.]
Tang Shi continued to grit his teeth, "Then I'll give you two yuan, which can be counted as a small change from just now."
The system felt that the host was also very evil and wanted to earn some extra money. Unexpectedly, he didn’t even get any extra money without tips! I have never seen such a black-hearted host!
The system reluctantly closed the deal like an abused little lady.
I finally caught the loophole in the system, and I will know how to exploit it next time. Tang Shi said that he felt very happy at the moment!
Looking at the two roast ducks, two bowls of broth and two sesame cakes that appeared in the small grid, Tang Shi swallowed greedily. He could smell the aroma of roast duck through the small grid. How long had it been since he had eaten like this? Delicious food yet
After careful calculation, everyone's life has been difficult since arriving in this world. As long as it is edible, no matter whether it is delicious or not, as long as it can satisfy their hunger, they have eaten it. The most delicious meat is hunted in the forest. Native animals, if they could eat meat on the dinner table, it would be a day in heaven. Even the head of state cannot eat meat every day. There are only one meat dish at noon for three meals a day.
Alas, life is too hard. Suddenly seeing a roast duck with such fragrant meat and crispy skin, it would be abnormal not to be greedy.
Yanxu heard Tang Shi swallowing and felt strange, "Are you hungry? Do you want to hunt two animals to eat?"
Tang Shi shook his head. He actually wanted to eat the roast duck in the small grid and not anything else.
Before Tang Shi could speak, the red-winged dragon suddenly stopped, and a "rustling" sound suddenly came from the bare woods next to it. Tang Shi and Yanxu both pricked up their ears to listen, and suddenly the slight "rustling" sound suddenly changed. It's almost here. Some animal must be frightened and running away. Is it really possible to encounter prey
Just when the two of them were confused, the voice actually came over here. "Whoosh!" A figure jumped over from the snowdrift on the side, and at the same time, a child's voice sounded.
"Brother, come on! I caught it! I caught it!"
Tang Shi suddenly opened his eyes wide. The animal that rushed past was skinny and as big as a sika deer. It looked a bit like a sheep with horns on its head. The people in Xia City named it "Deer Sheep". The meat of deer and sheep is good, and they are herbivores. They are very sensitive and difficult to hunt. Logically speaking, deer and sheep should migrate to warmer places to spend the winter. I don’t know why there is still one here.
The deer sheep jumped very fast in the snow, jumping up and down. To Tang Shi's surprise, there was a child hanging on the deer sheep's body, holding on to its two horns with both hands. Up and down, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Brother! Brother!"
At this time, another child rushed over from the snowdrift, rushing forward desperately, holding a dagger in his hand, but he was only that big, and the snow was too deep, up to his waist, but he didn't He gave up and still chased the prey on his hands and knees, crawling and running.
"Twist its horns! Twist its head to make it lose its balance!" Although the child chasing behind was anxious, his voice was very calm. He couldn't catch up for a while, so he could only let the child hanging on the deer and sheep find a way to pull it off. It tipped over.
The child was smaller. He tried the method his brother said several times, but failed to bring down the deer and sheep. Instead, he confused the direction in which it ran. The deer and sheep were obviously frightened out of their wits. As they ran around, they started to move. He had to wrestle with the child on his back. He didn't get off the child, but his head hit a big tree and he fell directly to the ground!
The child on his back accidentally hit his head on a tree and rolled onto the snow next to him with a "Ouch" sound. He got up dizzy and spun around twice. He was probably knocked unconscious. He was also knocked unconscious on the ground and tried to get up. The child shouted "Ah" and rushed over, grabbing one of the deer's hind legs with both hands to prevent it from escaping.
Luyang panicked and kicked the child many times with his other hind hoof, but the child wouldn't let go. The brother who caught up behind him pounced and threw Luyang down in the snow with the dagger in his hand. He stabbed the deer and sheep in the neck without any deviation, then held the deer and sheep down, letting it struggle until it was completely dead, and then the two children rolled down to the snow.
The elder brother gasped for air and rushed over to pull his younger brother up. He saw that his face was covered in blood after being kicked by the deer and sheep's hind hooves. The frightened elder brother hurriedly held his face and checked to see if he had been kicked badly.
The little boy wiped the blood on his face nonchalantly, "It's okay, my nose is not broken, it's just bleeding..."
The little boy focused all his attention on the deer and sheep on the ground. He didn't care about his injuries at all. "Brother, it's such a big one. We have meat to eat!"
"Yeah." My brother responded expressionlessly, pulled out the bloody dagger, grabbed a handful of snow, wiped the blood on it, and stuffed it into his lower back.
"Let's go back." He bent down and grabbed the two hind legs of the deer and sheep, dragging them on the snow.
"Yeah!" The younger brother happily circled around the deer and sheep, wishing he could pounce on them immediately and have a few bites.
Until they walked far away, Tang Shi and Yanxu were still frozen on the back of the red-winged dragon.
They were silent for a long time before Tang finally spoke, "Why are there two children here?"
Judging from their age, they are not very old. The elder brother is estimated to be only eight years old at most, and the younger brother is even younger, only about five or six years old. They are dirty and have messy hair. They look like two little beggars. The animal skin it was wrapped in was also unprocessed. It should have been peeled off and then dried directly before being wrapped around the body.
Tang Shi looked around and saw that Xia Cheng was ahead of him, but the two children went to the right.
"Go over and have a look."
After hearing the master's order, the red-winged dragon changed direction and followed the two children from a distance, seeing them dragging the prey forward with great difficulty.
They walked far away until they reached a hill, and they went directly into a cave below.
The entrance of the hole is not big, and the entrance is blocked by a "door" made of branches. It is probably to keep out the snow and wind. How can such a door with ventilation in all directions stop the cold wind from pouring in
Tang Shi and Yan Xu felt very sad when they saw this scene from a distance.
The human race is indeed very difficult now, but everyone worked together to build Xia City. Maybe not every house has floor heating, but every family must have a house to live in. Why do these two children live in a cave? How did they survive in such a cold weather
Tang Shi involuntarily turned sideways, slid off the Red Winged Dragon's back, and walked towards the small cave with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Tang Shi hesitated for a moment before reaching out and moving the wind-blocking "door" away.
"Ah!" the younger child screamed and hid behind the older child. The older child nervously held the dagger and pointed it at Tang Shi, looking like he was going to fight!
They must have heard the footsteps to make them so nervous.
Tang Shi said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I want to talk to you, is that okay?"
The older boy was very vigilant, "You step back! Take three steps back! If you have anything to say, just stand there and say it!"
Tang Shi glanced at the cave. It was neither deep nor high. It was only as tall as an adult at most. There were some hay, dry firewood, and some animal skins piled inside. Judging from the furnishings inside, the two children should be Just live here.
In order not to scare them, Tang Shi took three steps back obediently.
The two children relaxed a little, but after a while, Yanxu followed, and the two children immediately became nervous again.
The older child held the dagger in his hand tightly, pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were sharp, and his face was fierce.
This is completely unlike the expression that a child should have, but it is normal. Considering their age, they are also people who have experienced the apocalypse. No matter what, they cannot be compared with children of the same age in peaceful times. If they are such innocent children "Don't be nervous, we won't hurt you. We just want to ask, why do you live here? Where are the adults at home?" Tang Shi tried to speak in a soft voice.
The older children stared at Tang Shi and Yanxu for a long time with eyes full of scrutiny. They saw that their robes were very good and clean. They must be from a wealthy family. Obviously they didn't believe them, so they asked without answering, "What are you doing?" Who is he?"
