"I may also have some kind of ability," Ren Xiaosu said.
Yan Liuyuan, who was sitting at the door of the shack and looking at the starry sky after the rain, was stunned for a moment: "You mean..."
"I'm not sure yet, I have to try it." Ren Xiaosu sat down beside Yan Liuyuan: "There are rumors in the market town that some people can make a train run from nothingness to reality. I didn't believe it before. It was only after seeing you." Believe it a little, now I may also have strange abilities, this feeling is very strange.”
Yan Liuyuan's ability is luck.
This is a very inexplicable ability. When Yan Liuyuan wished that Ren Xiaosu could hunt prey, even if Ren Xiaosu walked in the wilderness and did nothing, sparrows would fall in front of him for no reason.
It's just that this ability has a backlash, and it usually reflects Yan Liuyuan's high fever after making a wish, or other minor illnesses and disasters.
This is why Ren Xiaosu wanted to protect Yan Liuyuan in the beginning. He didn't believe it at first, but later he couldn't do it.
Suddenly, a shooting star flashed across the sky, and Yan Liuyuan subconsciously made a wish with clasped hands, but was stopped by Ren Xiaosu: "Don't make a wish indiscriminately, or something will happen."
Now Ren Xiaosu seldom used Yan Liuyuan's luck. He said it was because he was already able to hunt the prey and didn't need Yan Liuyuan's ability, and Yan Liuyuan never refuted it.
The thin Yan Liuyuan looked at the meteor that had disappeared and wondered, "Why is the meteor flying so fast? What if everyone doesn't have time to make a wish?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and said, "It flies so fast, maybe it's because it doesn't want to hear your wishes at all."
Yan Liuyuan looked back at Ren Xiaosu in a daze: "..."
…
Yan Liuyuan was Ren Xiaosu's night watchman, but it didn't mean that he was required to watch all night, and Ren Xiaosu would replace him in the middle. After all, Yan Liuyuan still had to go to class during the day.
This situation is very tormenting, not getting enough sleep is a big problem, but living in this environment, neither Ren Xiaosu nor Yan Liuyuan has any choice.
In the early morning, Ren Xiaosu led Yan Liuyuan out, bringing all valuables with him, even his big iron pot.
Not surprisingly, when they returned to their hut at night, the hut must have been turned over.
"I heard that the door is not closed at night in the refuge barrier, and no one steals at all," Yan Liuyuan carried the bedroll on his back, and then watched Ren Xiaosu carry the big iron pot everywhere he went, which was almost all of their belongings.
On weekdays, Yan Liuyuan would go to school with his bedding on his back, and the other students were similar, everyone took it for granted.
"Fart." Although Ren Xiaosu yearns for the life inside the refuge wall, he firmly does not believe that there is any place in the world that does not close the door at night: "Some people think that people in the refuge wall fart are fragrant, and the air is sweet. of."
"Then you can't always run around with the blame on your back," Yan Liuyuan said.
"What do you know?" Ren Xiaosu explained, "I found this pot with great difficulty. It can cook and catch sparrows at the same time. How would we live without this?"
Ren Xiaosu carried the iron pot on his shoulder with one hand, and carried the huge sparrow upside down with the other. When walking on the road, many people cast envious glances at Ren Xiaosu.
We must know that in today's species order, human beings are no longer the species at the top of the food chain.
People say that sparrows used to be less than the size of a palm, but what about now? This thing can peck people to death.
Not everyone has the ability to catch sparrows, and not everyone has the patience to lie in the wilderness for a day and a night. Everyone has not seen meat for several years. It would be a lie to say that they don't envy Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu brought Yan Liuyuan to the gate of the refuge barrier. The towering walls gave people a great sense of oppression.
Arriving here, the building has changed, and even brick and stone houses can be seen.
The closer you get to the wall, the cleaner, tidier, and richer it looks. The people who live here are more or less related to the refuge barrier. Maybe they are flattering, or maybe there are relatives inside.
But no matter what, these refugees are collectively referred to as "polluted" people, and they cannot enter the barrier.
Ren Xiaosu walked into a room with the words "Grocery Store" written on the forehead of the room. It sold cigarettes, matches, ironware, grain, and clothes, but the prices were all expensive.
The old man in the room was very happy when he saw Ren Xiaosu: "This sparrow looks really big!"
Ren Xiaosu threw the sparrow on the glass counter: "How much?"
"Oh, take it easy, this glass is precious," Old Wang said distressedly, and then he threw the sparrow on the iron scale next to him: "Three catties and six liang, it's fine, Xiaosu."
At this time, the abacus in Lao Wang's hand squeaked, and the withered hands like chicken feet seemed to be wound up, and the abacus jingled: "Today's market price is two hundred yuan per catty, and you are 700 yuan. Bar!"
"9 said: "Winter is coming soon, there are few sparrows recently, 900 can't be less. "
Old Wang was not happy anymore, he pushed the abacus in front of Ren Xiaosu: "We are sending this to the fortress for the nobles to eat, there is a shortage of meat in the fortress, but there is a price for everything, we have to follow the rules Come."
As soon as the words were finished, Old Wang saw Ren Xiaosu turning around to go out next to the sparrow, he quickly grabbed the sleeve of Ren Xiaosu's torn coat: "Where are you going?"
"I'll ask Lao Li about the prices at the grocery store," Ren Xiaosu said.
Old Wang's hands tightened immediately. Today, a person in charge in the stronghold specifically told him to collect wild game. Not only his family knew about this news. he
Old Wang smiled and said, "How much do you want to sell?"
Ren Xiaosu still wanted to leave: "I'll talk about the price after asking."
Lao Wang smiled very amiably: "Isn't that a waste of six yuan to go to school, 900 is 900!"
"What did you say last sentence?" Ren Xiaosu asked calmly.
"That's not a delay..."
"One more sentence."
"How much do you want to sell?"
"1200."
Old Wang: "???"
After a while, Pharaoh counted the money in distress, and counted it over and over again, for fear that he would make a mistake.
The final transaction price was 1198, and Ren Xiaosu also made his own concession...
A sparrow sells for 1198, not because the price is too high, and not only because the sparrow is big, but mainly because game is not usually eaten in the No. 113 refuge barrier.
Scarcity is the most precious thing, and Pharaoh would not do business that loses money. If this sparrow is sold to a powerful person, he can make a small profit and get some favors.
Lao Wang stuffed a lot of change into Ren Xiaosu's hand with a distressed face, and then he lowered his voice as if he remembered something, and said, "Xiaosu, next time you want to catch a sparrow, don't just kill it. If there are noble people who want to live, the price will be higher!"
Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment: "Why do you want to live, kill now?"
"No," Lao Wang shook his head: "You don't understand this, it's because someone wants to raise sparrows for fun!"
