The man stood behind the counter, with short hair hanging down to cover half of his eyes, and the bulging backpack behind him was particularly eye-catching.
His body was tense, and his expression was full of guard. After seeing the child in Shen Shi'an's arms, his guard was slightly lowered, and after seeing Shen Shi'an's appearance clearly, his guard was lowered again—I have to admit that the good-looking person is Taking advantage, beautiful things inherently let people relax their vigilance.
But when his eyes turned to the long sword behind Shen Shi'an, the alertness that had been lowered was doubled in an instant.
Shen Shi'an took a quick look at the other party, and then looked at the two zombies lying on the floor outside the counter: the blood of the zombies hadn't completely coagulated, and it seemed that the man hadn't been here for more than half an hour.
"My surname is Shen," Shen Shi'an took the initiative to say, "It's getting dark soon. Going further is the center of the town. It's probably dangerous, so I'm going to take my children here. If you find it inconvenient, we can change it to another one." place."
The other party was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No need." After a pause, he said, "My surname is Chen."
Shen Shi'an asked, "Are there any other zombies here?"
"No, I checked."
Shen Shi'an put the child down: "Then let's throw these two zombies out first?"
The other party nodded and walked out from behind the counter. After getting closer, they could see each other more clearly. The man's face was sharp and angular, and he seemed to be the type who was taciturn and didn't like to talk much. Shen Xun followed his steps and turned his eyes half a circle, then suddenly shrugged his nose.
Shen Shi'an cooperated with the other party to lift up the zombie and throw it out, and then cleaned up the shop briefly. The decoration style here is similar to the most common large pharmacy. There is a circle of glass cabinets as high as the wall against the wall, and a circle of glass counters with a height of one meter around the cabinets. Inside are bags of plastic packaging. good seeds. The shelf in the middle was supposed to hold agricultural products, but it has been plundered for a long time now, and when it is lifted up and moved to the sides, a large space is vacated. There is also a compartment at the back of the store, which is probably a resting place for the boss or salesperson.
"The zombies here are dealt with by you alone," Shen Shi'an said, "You collect supplies first."
The other party's expression eased a little, nodded, walked to the back room, walked around quickly and came back, probably a little disappointed because he didn't find any food. Said to Shen Shi'an, "I'm fine."
Shen Shi'an went directly to the glass cabinet and counter where the seeds were stored, and checked them carefully from left to right. Unexpectedly, these seeds obviously showed traces of being collected by people, and a large area was vacant in many places, which made Shen Shi'an think of the man's bulging backpack. But what does the other party want the seeds for? Are you going to settle down in the countryside and cultivate land
Since the other party said that he had already searched, Shen Shi'an was not polite, took a backpack from the car, and put all the remaining seeds in it, including two bags of white radish that he and the children didn't like to eat—who knows, Maybe the mutant goose likes it.
After putting the seeds back in the car, it was completely dark. Shen Shi'an searched around the neighborhood and brought back a bundle of firewood. As soon as he entered the door, he found the child staring at his backpack.
"Xunxun." Shen Shi'an yelled, and apologized to the other party at the same time: "I'm sorry, children are not sensible."
The other party shook his head and said nothing, but pulled the backpack closer to him.
He occupied the end of the shop near the door, and Shen Shi'an took the child to the inner end of the shop. The two sides were distributed diagonally, and each lit a bonfire. The iron fence was closed tightly, and the gate was also closed, leaving only a gap of ten centimeters as a ventilation hole. The orange firelight was reflected on the walls and glass cabinets, which was quite bright.
Because there are other people here, I can only eat instant noodles tonight. Shen Shi'an took the pot and water from the car, and after the water boiled, he put tomato sauce, old godmother, bread, eggs, ham sausage, and seasoning packets in order according to the customary recipe. The orange-red soup was bubbling, and the rich aroma soon permeated the entire shop.
Shen Shi'an's hearing has been significantly improved due to the advancement of his skills. Although he has not measured it carefully, he can hear subtle movements at a distance of about 20 meters. For example, at this time, he could clearly hear the sound of a young man swallowing his saliva from the other end of the shop.
The other party was obviously trying to suppress his desire/desire, and turned his back not to look this way. But when Shen Xun was holding the sea bowl and started chattering about the noodles, talking about how delicious the noodles were, he finally couldn't help it, hesitated for a while as if making up his mind, took out something from his backpack, and walked towards Shen Shi'an and the two slowly. : "Sorry to bother you. I want to ask, can I exchange a pack of instant noodles with you?"
Shen Shi'an looked at the thing in his hand, it was two potatoes the size of fists.
The other party obviously also realized that this kind of exchange was somewhat unequal, his face flushed slightly, and he pleaded slightly: "I know that two potatoes are a bit short, but you don't leave until tomorrow, right? I can give them to you tomorrow." You two..." Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, as if he had accidentally revealed some important secret, the man hurriedly stopped talking, with a trace of annoyance flashing across his face.
Shen Shi'an didn't understand what he meant: Since I can give two potatoes tomorrow, why not give them together now? Is it necessary to pay in installments for instant noodles
But the man obviously didn't intend to explain, the annoyance on his expression became more and more obvious, he didn't change the instant noodles, turned around and was about to go back.
"Wait a minute." Shen Shi'an stopped him, and took out a pack of instant noodles, plus a sausage and a chicken leg from his backpack: "I'd like to exchange it with you. Besides these two potatoes, if you have seeds, then It couldn't be better."
The man's eyes lit up, and after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded heavily: "I have it!"
He knelt down and put the potatoes next to Shen Shi'an, quickly returned to his position, and took out a dozen packets of seeds from the bag with his back to the two of them. Shen Shi'an noticed that after taking out these seeds, his backpack was still bulging. In a blink of an eye, I found that the child was still staring at his backpack while eating noodles, and raised his hand to rub his head twice: "Don't look, what's so interesting." In the end of the world, strangers are always on guard against each other , always staring at other people to figure out what's going on, maybe they will be regarded as malicious by the other party to see the money, and there will be a lot of twists and turns.
The child leaned close to his ear and whispered: "He has something in his bag."
Shen Shi'an was helpless, and reminded him with his eyes: We have eaten enough.
While the two were talking in low voices, the man had already returned with the seeds in his arms. Shen Shi'an looked at them and found that most of them were tuber vegetables such as sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, and radishes. Although it was not the grass seed he wanted the most, it was equally precious.
Counting them in front of the opponent, there are seventeen packets in total. "How about a packet of seeds for a packet of instant noodles, or a piece of ham?" Shen Shi'an said.
The man seemed a little unbelievable: "Really?"
Shen Shi'an nodded: "You can choose instant noodles and ham, as you choose."
The man thought for a moment: "Fifteen packs of instant noodles, two sticks of ham."
Shen Shi'an instructed the child, stood up and walked out the door, and brought back a box after a while, which happened to be fifteen packs of instant noodles and two sticks of ham. As for the package of instant noodles and sausage and chicken drumsticks at the beginning, "it's yours too, and I'll exchange you two potatoes." It's like an apology for the child's behavior.
The man picked up the box carefully, turned around before leaving, and said to Shen Shi'an, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." In the final analysis, for Shen Shi'an, seeds are much more valuable than instant noodles, and facing a peer who doesn't seem as strong as himself and has a child, the other party has not shown any performance from the beginning to the end. If he didn't show any malicious intentions, since that's the case, he wouldn't mind being kinder. "Do you need a pot and water? I can provide it."
The man shook his head, the vigilance on his face was gone: "There are pots and running water in the back room of the shop, I just saw that. Thank you."
While the other party was going to the back room to wash the pot and fetch water, Shen Xun turned his attention to his backpack again. Now even Shen Shi'an became curious: "What are you looking at?"
As soon as I followed the child's gaze, I found that the bulging backpack suddenly moved.
The man's footsteps were heard in his ears, and Shen Shi'an quickly pinched the child's chin and turned him around: "Eat well." Maybe he put a pet in his backpack. It's not impossible, Yun Feiyang brought a Ruibao with him when he left. Don't make troubles, don't mind your own business.
While thinking about it, he held the potatoes that the man brought over to exchange for instant noodles in his hand. At first, he just looked at them casually, but his eyes suddenly focused: These potatoes are newly planted. Even the mud was still wet.
Thoughts were running fast, but stopped after just two turns: Forget it, who has no secrets in the last days. Maybe the other party just happened to find a vegetable field with potatoes near the town. As long as he is not threatening to himself and the children, he has no reason to go to the bottom of it.
The cold water boiled in the pot, and the aroma of instant noodles soon wafted in the shop. When the other party was eating noodles with a pot, his backpack suddenly jumped up and then fell back, as if something inside was struggling violently, and the movement was so loud that it was impossible for Shen Shian to pretend not to notice it.
The man panicked, his face turned pale, he was choked by the soup and coughed violently, he put the pot on the ground casually, and quickly reached out to touch the bag: "Shh, shhh..."
It didn't take long for his hand to stick to the bag, and the backpack was quiet again.
Shen Shi'an thought to himself, so it is really a pet.
Because of this commotion, the atmosphere in the store was tense for a while. It happened that he and Shen Xun had finished eating, put out the bonfire, carried the pot and backpack, took the child out, and informed the man by the way: "We will rest in the car at night."
The man stood up, heaving a sigh of relief at the news: "Okay, I'll be inside, if you need anything, just call me."
Shen Shi'an nodded. He was carrying the pot in one hand and the bag in the other, and the child walked out behind him, and he didn't walk well. As he walked, he kicked small stones from left to right, and his body swayed, and suddenly he kicked on the man's backpack. .
The backpack fell to the ground, and for some unknown reason, the zipper that had been tightly pulled was opened more than halfway, and a human head rolled out from inside.

*Sweet potato planting generally uses tubers for asexual reproduction, that is, a whole sweet potato is cut into pieces according to the sprouts and buried in the soil. But sweet potatoes do have seeds, and are usually used for hybridization to produce better varieties through sexual reproduction. The seed shell is relatively hard, so it is a bit troublesome to plant. It will be easier to germinate after soaking in water first~
There seems to be a problem with the one-button display function. Today I can only do it manually. Sorry if I missed something, I love you all! !
