Chapter 52: Survival by chance

Shen Xi locked himself in the room like a trapped animal. He stayed up all night with something hidden in his heart. Shen Xi got up early the next morning before dawn.

After a simple wash, he put the dagger Li Zhao left behind when he left in his sleeve. He woke up the waiter in a wheelchair, opened the back door and left the inn. Yu Yu walked alone in the quiet streets.

Passing by Li Zhao's favorite baked bun shop, Shen Xi was moved. He stopped his wheelchair and paid for a pound. The store owner took the money and wrapped it in oil paper. Shen Xi took it and lowered his head to dig out the previous item from the storage compartment under the chair and stool. She had been carrying the straw backpack, carefully stuffed the baked buns inside, and put the entire straw backpack between her knees and belly to keep it warm. Shen Xi pushed the wheel and continued to move forward. The wheel creaked for a long time before stopping at the city gate. down.

The early morning mist dispersed, and as the sun gradually rose, the morning drums and bells rang, the city gate opened, and the surrounding area began to become noisy. Suddenly, there was a buzz of people inside and outside the city gate tower.

Shen Xi watched everything silently, pushing his wheelchair to find a place with a good view in front of the inner city gate, where he could see all the people entering the city clearly. Hungry filled his belly, and Shen Xi was not willing to give it to Li. After Zhao bought the baked buns, he turned around and bought some naan bread from a stall in the busy market. He rubbed the straw backpack on his legs while talking, thinking about a certain person who was running away.

I wonder if the little girl has eaten?Is it safe?Have you encountered any danger?Will you come back today...

Thinking of this, the rubbing hand stopped, and the naan in his mouth no longer tasted good.

Shenxi was chattering without knowing it. At this moment, there was a noise at the city gate.

"Hey, Lao Wang, are you back from hunting as a team? What's the good harvest this time?"

It turns out that there are many people living around the huge wasteland city. In addition to high-end trading companies such as Wanli Trading Company, there are actually many small and large vendors in the city who receive and sell goods, as well as caravans traveling from north to south.

These people were also smart, knowing that they could not defeat the big merchants and local snakes, so they were smart and sent people to guard the city gate, waiting here every day to watch for people who came back from the new hunt to block the way to buy goods, which was somewhat frustrating.

No, when a hunting team of more than a dozen people returned, all the dealers and clerks who had been leaning against the wall leisurely, chatting and spanking with their sleeves in their sleeves, swarmed around them.

Lao Wang, who was greeted just now, quickly replied to the person who greeted him.

"Hey, it turns out to be Brother Mao, hahaha, brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Brother, I'm back. Unfortunately, the harvest is not that good. I didn't catch the three treasures of the wasteland, so I made some scorpion cakes, and there are There are more than a dozen desert wolves, alas! It’s just such a small thing, and a dozen people in our hunting team can share it. I don’t know how many taels of silver each person can get. I’m afraid it won’t be enough to eat..."

The dark-skinned man with a strong body brushed the sand from his body and nodded bitterly at the sand cart pulled by his companions behind him.

The inquiring old Mao felt sympathetic when he saw this, and patted the other party's shoulder to comfort him: "Okay, okay, it's a good thing that all the people in your team are back, beards and tails. As for the harvest, we can't pay it back this time." For next time, nothing is more important than human life."

"Oh, what else can we do? This is the only way." Lao Wang grinned bitterly, causing the other party to slap his shoulder hard again.

"Okay, don't worry about your elder brother. You know it, brother. I'm in the fur business. I can't eat scorpion cake. I'll give you a good price for those wolf-skin brothers."

When Lao Wang heard this, his eyes immediately burst into joy, and he thanked him repeatedly. He quickly waved to his companions who had just entered the city gate to unload the wolf from the car, and bowed to the old Mao who received the goods, "Brother Mao , Brother, thank you."

The man who received the goods also bowed repeatedly, "Brother Wang, you are very polite."

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen Steppenwolf corpses were placed in front of Brother Mao.

Lao Wang said: "Brother, please inspect the goods. I'll give you the price. I believe you." The recipient of the goods, Mao wanted to win over the buyer as a favor, but he also wanted to have a business account. He squatted down to check and confirmed that Lao Wang and his party were old hunters. I was right, and there weren't many wounds on the wolf's body, so I gave him a fair price.

"Brother Wang, I don't want the wolf meat, brother. Please skin the skin for me. Brother, you can take the meat and bones to your home. It doesn't matter whether you sell it to the hospital or eat it at home. It's all income. As for this The skins are peeled completely. I will give my brother four taels of silver for each skin. I will give my brother 30 taels for the biggest Wolf King skin. I will make the leather myself later without bothering my brother."

The other party offered a fair price, but Lao Wang was in trouble.

"Brother, this is a bit troublesome."

"How?"

So Lao Wang pulled the companion who was carrying him behind him and murmured for a while. Only then did Mao the recipient know that the man with the best swordsmanship and martial arts in his brother's hunting team, which was not a popular one, had gone to start a new business a few days ago. , which led to the fact that this time a group of them entered the wasteland and did not get much good results. Even the work of cutting bones and skinning was not competent.

"Brother, it's not that I'm uncooperative. It's actually that there are more than a dozen people in my team, and the only one who can peel off this fur is an unscrupulous master. The others... well, let's not talk about it. "

Mao, who received the goods, was dumbfounded when he heard this, and regretted that he had given the price so readily just now.

If this skin is not peeled off well, wouldn’t he suffer a huge loss?

Thinking of this, Mao became anxious to receive the goods. He slapped his thigh and his flesh hurt, "Oh my dear mother, what should I do? Brother, you have tricked my younger brother to death."

When Lao Wang saw this, he was also afraid that business would be bad, so he was so busy and anxious that he held on to the delivery man.

"Hey, brother, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. You also know that, not to mention our hunting team, looking at the entire Wasteland City, those who can have superb planing skills must either work in a big trading company or leave this shabby place to find someone early. The way to survive is gone, how can you join our hunting team, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a good one, brother." Otherwise, they wouldn't be allowed to take action, right?
Of course, in order to sell goods, you can't say this. Lao Wang tightly pulled the man who received the goods to give him an idea.

"It really doesn't work, brother, I won't cheat you. I'll give you a few bucks for a beast. When the time comes, I will collect the goods and haul them to the city. Please go to Wanli Trading Company and give them a few bucks to let their planers give me. Isn't it enough that you have dealt with it? Maybe you will also take away the skin by then, so that I won't have to run away."

"Brother, what you said is very light. Brother, what I have earned is the hard-earned money from running the goods through wires. Besides, who in the city doesn't know that the planers at Wanli Trading Company are expensive? When the time comes, I will come to you and I will get these furs." If you lose half of it, you won’t succeed.”

"Oh, I'm a beast. Why don't I give you two silver coins? I don't want any meat or bones."

"It's okay if I don't want to. I can't do a loss-making business. I can't work too hard. I won't make a damn thing, right?"

"Brother!"

"Brother, please spare my brother. My brother also needs to eat."

The two sides were in a stalemate, and they were not far apart from each other. In fact, his five senses were very sharp. The conversation between the two was mixed with the noise around them, and these words rushed into his ears without restraint. In front of Shen Xi One light.
