I can see the commodity price curve

Zhang Yue was stunned again.

To be honest, his attitude towards the black girl in front of him was a bit complicated.

Especially when the other party deliberately got close to him, although Zhang Yue himself didn't think it was anything.

But after hearing Chris say that the other party had an ulterior motive, he was still on guard.

Moreover, Zhang Yue has decided that when he reaches his destination, he will leave quietly without giving the other party any chance to get close to him.

But now...

He hesitated a little, but the girl said anxiously: "What are you waiting for? Run!

The men caught up immediately. "

Zhang Yue came back to his senses and saw that the faces of the people behind him were clearly visible.

According to visual inspection, they were less than two hundred meters away from him.

The distance of two hundred meters has entered the precise striking range of the gun.

If these people don't care and shoot directly, they will probably be killed.

There was no time to hesitate anymore. He nodded immediately and ran in the same direction with the girl.

However, after running for a while, he discovered a very helpless fact.

The road here was wet and slippery. After running for less than ten minutes, I fell several times.

His clothes were covered in mud, and his face could barely be seen.

It would be okay if it was just like this, but the problem was that Zhang Yue discovered to his dismay that the petite black girl in front of him was much faster than himself.

He tried his best, but still couldn't keep up with the opponent.

Every time the other party walks a certain distance, he has to stop and wait for you.

It’s a bit embarrassing!

You must know that in Zhang Yue's mind, girls are generally synonymous with being weak and weak.

Finally, half an hour later.

He sat down on the ground and kept gasping: "No, I can't run anymore, why don't you leave first!"

In half an hour, Zhang Yue felt that he had run almost ten kilometers.

Of course, he knew this was impossible.

It's just that the strenuous exercise stretched the limits of his body and made him feel like he had run a long way.

When the girl heard what he said, she immediately stopped.

Then she squatted down and put her ears to the ground to listen carefully.

After a moment, she smiled and said: "Okay, no need to run, the other party is not chasing me."

Zhang Yue looked behind him in confusion.

The two of them are now deep in the grassland. The tallest grass next to them is more than two meters high, and the lower grass is also one meter high.

It's okay up close, but from a long distance, you can't see clearly what's going on.

Therefore, Zhang Yue couldn't tell whether the other party was chasing him or not.

He asked the girl: "How do you know?"

Although the other party has lived here since childhood, he is very familiar with the environment here.

But no matter how familiar it is, there are limits. It is far from what is shown on TV. Just lie down somewhere and listen, and you can hear the movement several kilometers away.

The girl smiled sweetly: "It's very simple. Just look at the sky over there."

Zhang Yue looked in the direction pointed by the other party and found several birds circling there.

Suddenly something moved in his mind: "You mean there is someone in that direction?"

The girl nodded: "Yes, someone disturbed those birds, causing them to dare not return home.

So as long as you observe the direction of the bird, you will know the location of the other party. "

Zhang Yue was confused: "But the question is, how do you know that the pursuers are there, not Chris and the others?"

The girl smiled and said: "This method can only see teams of more than thirty people. If everyone spreads out, they can't be seen.

Just like the two of us, if we could determine our positions through flying birds, with your turtle-like speed, you would definitely have been caught. "

Zhang Yue blushed: "What's wrong with my turtle-like speed? I can run very fast, okay?"

"Do you call running?"

"Don't you scream?" Zhang Yue was unconvinced, "I have been following you, and I will run as fast as you run.

If this is not called running, then what is running? "

The girl smiled instantly: "But I've been walking?

You can't even catch me walking, how dare you say you're running? "

Zhang Yue said nothing.

Although he admitted that the other party's physique was better than his, this was probably because the other party exercised regularly.

If you give yourself some time, you can definitely surpass the other person.

As a result, the other party used this to laugh at me...

Of course, Zhang Yue just thought this in his heart, and said: "Since you think the other party is not chasing you, then he is not chasing you!
Either way, I have to take a break.

Wait, why do your legs feel so itchy? "

He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his legs, but he didn't know it, and his scalp exploded at the sight.

I saw that his legs were filled with locusts at some point.

These locusts were constantly squirming on his legs, looking very scary.

The next moment, he slapped the locusts hard with his palms, screaming while slapping them.

However, Zhang Yue soon discovered in despair that no matter how hard he tried, these locusts were like suckers, firmly sucking on his legs.

Suddenly, a cute little black hand stretched out and gently rubbed his leg.

Strangely enough, these locusts actually fell down one after another and then continued to squirm on the ground.

Although Zhang Yue didn't understand the language of the locusts, he could still tell that these locusts were struggling to their death.

Sure enough, after a while, all the locusts were motionless, and some of their bodies had shriveled up.

Obviously the dead can no longer die. "

In the blink of an eye, all the locusts on his body were cleaned away.

However, his legs were bright red because they had sucked a lot of blood, and they looked scary.

But Zhang Yue was completely relieved. He looked like a black girl: "How did you do it?"

The black girl smiled slightly, then spread her palms.

Zhang Yue found that her hands were wet and covered with water.

"Water can kill locusts. Is that impossible?"

Locusts are aquatic animals. After encountering water, they can only live more cheerfully.

The black girl shook her head: "This is water, but it is not ordinary water, but salt water."

As she spoke, she took out a bamboo tube, pulled out the plug on the side, and shook it twice.

Zhang Yue heard the sound of ding-ding-dong-dong.

He asked the other party in confusion: "Why do you carry this thing with you? It seems that high-concentration salt water cannot be drunk directly, right? And it doesn't seem to be in line with the habits of your people?"

If the locals would bring salt water with them when traveling, Chris would definitely tell himself.

Therefore, Zhang Yue judged that this should be the girl's personal behavior.

The girl smiled slightly: "I learned this from books.

In the past, no matter who was targeted by locusts here, they would be burned with burning charcoal.

When a leech encounters high temperatures, it will immediately fall off its legs.

But in this case, the legs will also be burned by the red-hot charcoal.

So in our tribe, everyone’s legs are covered with scars.

I used to do this too, but when I learned that high-concentration salt water can also kill locusts, I switched to this method.

Its effect is better than direct fire.

And another advantage of this salt water is that it can be applied to food when we need to camp in the wild. This way you don’t have to worry about being weak due to insufficient salt. "

Zhang Yue nodded and gave the other party a thumbs up. He had to admit that the other party had great ideas.

However, the next moment, he was stunned again: "Wait a minute, the salt here shouldn't be cheap, right?"

Unlike Kenya, which is close to the sea, a large amount of salt can be extracted from sea water.

So in Zhang Yue's opinion, the price of salt here should be much higher.

Even though it is not as exaggerated as the ancient salt monopoly, judging from the girl's appearance, the family must not be wealthy.

So she has no right to be so wasteful.

There was burning charcoal to roast the locusts. Since charcoal could be obtained locally, it was very cheap.

Or it can be said that there is zero cost.

The girl was a little surprised: "You mean this salt? I didn't buy it, I dug it."

"Did you dig it?" Zhang Yue was stunned, and then he realized, "You mean there are salt mines nearby?"

The girl nodded.

It turned out to be the case.

After this period of chatting, Zhang Yue has recovered some strength.

He struggled to stand up from the ground. When the girl saw this, she said, "You have recovered. Let's go. My house is almost here."

Zhang Yue nodded. Since he was out of danger, his speed was much slower this time.

In addition, he has been walking on the muddy road for a while, and now he has become somewhat accustomed to it.

After walking for a distance, the grass ahead suddenly started to get shorter.

Perhaps because she was getting closer to home, the girl was a little excited.

She couldn't help but speed up. Seeing this, Zhang Yue had no choice but to speed up too.

However, the girl walked faster and faster, and Zhang Yue could no longer keep up.

Fortunately, a village had appeared in front of him. After making sure that he would not be lost, he slowed down his pace again.

From a distance, Zhang Yue could see the girl entering a thatched house.

This thatched house is somewhat similar to Chris's previous home, except that it is much shorter.

There are many holes in the house. As long as it rains, there is a high probability that it will get wet.

There were other houses not far from the house, and black people came and went from time to time.

They naturally saw Zhang Yue, and they didn't know whether the girl had already greeted him in advance, or whether these people were very kind to begin with.

Zhang Yue looked at himself, and they nodded politely towards Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue also nodded in response.

Finally arriving at the thatched house where the girl's home was, he stood outside and said a few words loudly.

Then a thin little boy walked out of the room and looked at Zhang Yue with his big curious eyes.

Zhang Yue immediately smiled friendly at the other party.

Suddenly he remembered something, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

This is the food he prepared before setting off. He ate a lot on the way. He gave the girl a piece before, but now only the last piece is left.

Fortunately, it was not damaged during the previous run, otherwise the little boy would have been left empty-handed.

When the little boy saw Zhang Yue giving him something, he didn't reach out to take it, but subconsciously took half a step back.

Zhang Yue was not surprised when he saw this. He thought about it, took apart the chocolate, broke off a piece from the inside, then put it in his mouth and chewed it, indicating that it was edible.

Then he handed over the rest.

The little boy came over hesitantly, took the chocolate into his hand, and then imitated Zhang Yue and ate a piece.

The next moment his eyes lit up instantly and he made a strange sound of whining.

Following the little boy's words, eight more children walked out of the room in an instant.

These children range from older to twelve or thirteen years old, while the younger ones have just learned to walk.

Then all these children stared at Zhang Yue, their faces full of desire.

Zhang Yue was a little embarrassed.

Because he has no more chocolate.

Subconsciously, he stared at the little boy just now.

The chocolate in the little boy's hand is not a piece but a plate.

If broken apart, it can be divided into sixteen small pieces.

He and the little boy each ate a piece, leaving fourteen small pieces.

So it’s okay to give each of the other children a piece.

However, I don’t know if he guessed what Xin Zhang Yue was thinking, or when these children came out of the house, the little boy knew that if he didn’t finish eating quickly, he would have to share part of it.

So he opened his mouth and ate voraciously, swallowing the entire bar of chocolate in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Zhang Yuecai looked at him with hope.

Then the little boy smiled at Zhang Yue, showing his teeth that had turned black from eating chocolate.

Zhang Yue: "..."

Ok!

He now finally understands what it means to eat alone.

Suddenly Zhang Yue slapped his forehead and took off the bag on his back.

Opening the bag, Zhang Yue took out a long plastic bag.

He tore the bag open to reveal the compressed biscuits inside.

Yes, this biscuit is Zhang Yue's dry food.

He, Chris, and everyone in the Guoyue Security Brigade had them.

Originally, according to Zhang Yue's identity, he didn't need to memorize it.

However, Zhang Yue knew the importance of a leader eating and living with his subordinates in the wilderness.

So despite Chris's repeated dissuasion, he still insisted on taking one.

Fortunately, he carried it, otherwise everyone would be broken into pieces before. Without this pack of compressed biscuits, he probably wouldn't need those people to catch him, and he would have starved to death.

As for the girl’s family…

Looking at so many children and the thatched hut in front of him, Zhang Yue knew that the food stored by this family was probably not as much as what he had in his backpack.

Each person was given a piece of compressed biscuit, and Zhang Yue began to teach everyone how to eat biscuits.

These children were so envious when they saw that the little boy had something to eat.

Now seeing Zhang Yue's demonstration, he naturally couldn't wait to stuff the biscuits into his mouth.

The next moment their eyes lit up.

Compressed biscuits will become difficult to swallow as long as you eat them for a little longer.

But if it’s your first time eating it, you’ll find it’s really delicious.

These children in front of them are in this state. They can guarantee that this is definitely the most delicious thing they have ever eaten in their lives.

After the little boy finished eating the chocolate, he saw that the other brothers were eating more deliciously than the other, so he stared at Zhang Yue's hand with his eyes.

Zhang Yue took out a large package of ten biscuits, and after giving one to each of the others, two were left.

So I have a chance.

He quickly walked up to Zhang Yue and started making gestures with his hands.

Although I don’t know what the other party is talking about? But considering the scene before him, how could Zhang Yue not guess it?

He shook his head decisively and said to the little boy: "I'm sorry, I already gave you my only piece of chocolate.

So I’d better keep this biscuit for myself! "

After saying that, he followed the example of the little boy and stuffed both cookies into his mouth.

Then he devoured it all, and in the end he playfully spread his hands towards the little boy to show that there was really nothing left.
