Tang Miao's flashlight fell on the two white steamed buns on the ground, and she snorted secretly. It appears that the two knew they had a dog at home. There must be medicine in this steamed bun. What outsiders don't know is that Charles and Heiwei never eat food from strangers.
"Leave it to you." Tang Miao said, then turned and entered the room.
"Don't worry, young master."
When Tang Miao returned to the room, she just lay down next to Tang Sihuang when she was hugged again. Tang Miao gritted her teeth, turned to face Tang Sihuang, and hugged him too.
The next day, after Tang Miao got up, only Charles and Heiwei were lying on the carpet at the end of the bed, and Tang Sihuang was not there. After going downstairs, he found that he was the last one to get up. Tang Sihuang, Tang Yi and Tang San were talking in the living room, and the others had already had breakfast and left.
"Daddy, morning."
"Morning." Tang Sihuang looked at him and nodded.
"Morning, young master." Tang Yi and Tang San greeted Tang Miao with a smile.
"morning."
"Young master, you're up. Breakfast is hot. I'll bring it to you." Aunt Chun looked at him lovingly, then turned and went to the kitchen. I don't know what time she got up. The villa was cleaned so that the windows were bright, and people could be seen on the floor.
Breakfast was white porridge, steamed buns and pickled vegetables. While eating, Tang Miao asked about what happened last night. What happened last night was actually within his expectations. After all, when they came, it caused too much sensation. So many supplies were transported by big trucks in broad daylight, which would definitely arouse other people's covetousness. In order to survive in the last days, some people must take risks.
Tang Yi explained in detail. Those two people had no background in the base, and they usually just idled around. Thinking that the Tang family had just arrived, supplies and the like must not have been sorted out, so they wanted to take advantage of the loopholes. Tang Yi and Tang San sent them to the security office of the base early in the morning, so they could try the water of the base by the way. Along the way, the two thieves kept begging Tang Yi and Tang San to let them go. Tang Yi and Tang San remained unmoved. When they arrived at the security office, the person in charge asked about the situation in detail and proved it to be true. They sent the two people out of the base directly, and they were not eligible to apply for re-entry in the base until a month later.
Tang Yi and Tang San found out after inquiring that the base is very strict in law and order, it's good if they are not discovered by the base, once they are discovered, they will be expelled immediately. No wonder the two thieves kept begging for mercy while they were on the road.
Tang Miao finished her breakfast, wiped her mouth, and sat down next to Tang Sihuang: "Daddy, let's go out for a stroll."
"How are your feet?"
"It's much better than yesterday." Tang Miao planned to tell Tang Sihuang about the other north release of the well water later. The blisters on his feet had already formed, but it was just a little painful, and it would be healed in about a day.
The two took Charles and Hei Wei out together. After a while, an eye-catching off-road vehicle drove out of the villa area and headed towards the trading market. The address Tang Sihuang chose was very good, not only close to the entrance and exit of the base, but also not far from the trading market in the base, only about two miles away. On the spacious road, there are almost no cars, most people come and go on bicycles, and more people walk.
Tang Sihuang saw Tang Miao's doubts: "Gasoline is scarce, and driving is too extravagant. Most people probably only drive when they are on missions."
In Tang Miao's space, there are brand-new bicycles that were collected in the warehouse at the beginning. He secretly thought that he would also ride bicycles for activities in the base in the future, otherwise it would be too eye-catching and a waste of resources.
The trading market is a huge square, covering an area of about 4 hectares. Looking from a distance, people who need to trade slowly move with the flow of people, walking around, crowded and dense. All kinds of cries came and went, and many people were hoarse. It was the desolation and sadness that the last days gave them.
As soon as Tang Sihuang's car appeared, it immediately attracted people's attention. Rarely do you see such a well maintained car at base. After the two got out of the car, more people came to see them.
The first thing Tang Miao noticed was that almost all of them were sallow and thin. The most obvious impact of the end times on them was malnutrition. The gathering of so many thin and weak people cannot but make people feel emotional and heavy. Tang Miao couldn't help looking at Tang Sihuang.
Tang Sihuang's expression was flat, he looked down at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you want to change?"
"I don't know, just take a look." Tang Miao didn't lack anything, but was curious about the trading market Chen Li mentioned.
Charles and Heiwei were animals, and they couldn't feel the sorrow in people's hearts. They walked along the path vacated by the stalls, and from time to time, they took a curious look at the items emitting various strange smells on the stalls. People focus on them, with disdain, self-deprecating, and jealousy. Nowadays, people can't even fill their stomachs, and there are still people who keep pets, and they keep them fat and strong. Some people secretly drooled, if these two dogs were killed, there would be a lot of meat.
Those who sell books, those who sell clothes, those who sell computers, those who sell quilts, those who sell antiques... and those who sell jewelry. Even if the two gold necklaces only cost five catties of grain, no one cares about them.
Tang Miao was scanning the booths one by one when she heard a delicate voice.
"Brother, your two dogs are very beautiful. Buy two collars for the dogs, so that the dogs can wear them interchangeably."
Tang Miao looked up, and saw a five or six-year-old boy looking at him boldly, with eagerness and longing in his big dark eyes, holding a handful of collars of various colors in his hand. Sitting behind the little boy was a young woman with a thin face, sharp cheekbones, and sunken eyes, which made people a little startled. She should be the little boy's mother. She looked at the little boy tenderly, and then at Tang Miao. She hesitated to speak, probably not having much hope for it.
Tang Miao took the collar and picked it out: "It's not bad. How can I change it?" On the premise of not bringing danger to himself and the people around him, he didn't mind helping others. For people, it may be a hope to continue living.
The little boy immediately showed a happy smile: "Brother, if you buy two collars, you only need a catty of grain. Isn't that right, Mom?"
Tang Miao couldn't help laughing, secretly thinking that the kid was very smart, so he knew to ask him to buy two.
Seeing Tang Miao's willingness to exchange, the woman showed joy, nodded repeatedly, and her dim eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, a catty of rice, a catty of flour, a catty of noodles is fine, or four bags of instant noodles are also fine."
Tang Miao nodded and was about to take off the backpack on her back when she heard Charles and Heiwei barking angrily not far away, her expression changed and she looked over. A large group of people surrounded them not far away, and the voices of Charles and Heiwei came from there.
"I'll come back later. Daddy, something happened to Charles and Heiwei." Tang Miao dropped the collar in his hand and ran away.
The woman groaned in disappointment, giving up hope for the next transaction.
The little boy's face was full of joy, he waved his little hand, and shouted loudly: "Brother, I'll wait for you."
Tang Sihuang raised his eyebrows and walked over unhurriedly. He was not worried at all about the strength of Heiwei and Charles.
Tang Miao pushed away the onlookers.
"Charles, Heiwei!"
"Wow!"
Tang Miao saw the four big men attacking Heiwei and Charles with knives, his face darkened, and he shouted: "What do you want to do?"
"What are you doing?" One of the men raised his head and saw a slender teenager speaking, his smile deepened and his eyes became lewd, "This is your dog? Your dog bit me, so we are going to kill him I bought them as compensation. How about it?"
Tang Miao glanced at him and called out, "Charles, Hei Wei, come here."
Charles bared his teeth at the man threateningly before running to Tang Miao with Heiwei.
"Squat down." Tang Miao said again.
Charles and Heiwei wagged their tails and squatted at his feet.
Tang Miao patted their heads with both hands, folded her arms around her chest, and said with a smile, "See? My dogs are very obedient, not like some people who like to bark everywhere."
Tang Sihuang smiled lightly.
"Stinky boy, how dare you scold me?" The man with the thick beard changed his face, "I said if you bite, you will bite. If you don't hand over your two dogs today, the uncle will use you as a mortgage!" As he said, he Swinging the knife, he slashed at Tang Miao. The watermelon knife was fierce, and the white blade flashed a dazzling silver light in the sun.
Tang Miao stepped aside and waved to Charles: "Charles, come on!"
The man only felt a black shadow rushing into his line of sight, and then his body was weighed down by Charles. Charles opened his mouth and sniffed his fragile neck threateningly. Several times, his teeth stuck to his flesh. When the saliva dripped on his neck, he didn't dare to lift his hand to wipe it. Pee your pants.
"Ah, ah, go away..." The man was too scared to move.
Tang Miao walked a few steps closer, looked down at him, and smiled on his face: "Didn't you say you were bitten? I won't argue with you, just let everyone see the wound?"
The man looked at his three tall and burly companions, with greedy eyes still in their eyes, and felt more confident: "Why should I show you? Ma, let me go immediately, or my brother will make you look good! "
"I don't want to?" Tang Miao snorted, and looked at him meaningfully, "Or is it that the wound on your body was actually bitten by a zombie but you pretended to be bitten by my dog?"
"What? Zombies?" The onlookers were shocked and stepped back.
Tang Miao smiled and beckoned Charles to let go of the man, and shouted loudly: "Hey, everyone, be careful, this person may be bitten by a zombie."
The crowd suddenly became agitated, and people screamed and fled everywhere.
"Brat, you!" The bearded man exchanged glances with his three companions. The bearded man rushed towards Tang Miao, while the other three rushed towards the two dogs.
Tang Miao smiled contemptuously, and when the man's fist was stretched out in front of her, she grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard. Hearing a "click" sound of dislocation, the man let out a shrill scream, knelt on one knee on the ground, his face turned pale, he never thought that this cute-looking boy would have such great strength.
