"Are you going to do it or not? If not, get out of here! Just stand there like a door god!"
Ningxia was awakened by a hostile voice behind her. She didn't want to dwell on the public official's bad attitude and collected her scattered thoughts. "Exchange supplies."
The man sitting by the window reluctantly put down the books in his hand and took out a form from the old table. "Here, fill it out for me." After that, he lowered his head and flipped through the shoddy book that was only the size of his palm.
"You want to exchange for salt? How much? And there's also rice, machetes, daggers... Haha, if you have money, then exchange them." The man picked up Ningxia's application form and took a look at it, his expression full of sarcasm.
Ningxia handed over the ticket that he had prepared long ago. It was a handwritten material ticket with a series of stamps on the corners, which could not be faked.
The man took it and looked at it, his eyes widened. There was half a buffalo, three wild boars, several pheasants and rabbits, and even a wild fox!
That's not all! There are still forty stalks of star grass! This star grass contains a new energy source that the Agricultural College can extract. Once the Agricultural College extracts the substance inside, the entire base's lighting depends on this little thing!
Due to the high exchange price, all the forests within a hundred miles of the Dawn Base were cleared out, and no one knew where the girl was found.
"I can't tell! Awesome!" the man said while giving Ningxia a thumbs up.
Ningxia opened her lips, her eyes full of sarcasm. How could she not be awesome? This was the betrothal gift that Mo Guanshan had saved for her. It was a pity that the betrothal gift was still there, but her fiancé had run away.
"Sister, what kind of food do you want? I see you need to leave the base for a while to exchange for these things."
"Isn't it all written on the list?" Ningxia ignored his greeting.
The man chuckled and lowered his head to look for the stamp in the drawer.
"Is there any transportation?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" the man responded hurriedly. "Last month, the hunting team brought back dozens of horses, freshly tamed! I'll make you a list, and you can pick out a sturdy one."
Although they were staff members signed by Lie Feng, Lie Feng has withdrawn, and they can only make a living by performance. They used to work at a proper service window, but it was turned into a sales one. They have a lot of suffering.
Ningxia frowned. The tall horses the hunting team rode weren't suitable for her. She was on the road, not hunting. "Do you have a mule?"
"Hey sister, let me tell you, a mule's endurance is not as good as a horse's. At most, it can only carry things. If you see something good outside, by the time you get on the mule, the person will have already run away.
Horses are different. We've specially trained them. As long as you're not riding them up mountains or down seas, they're as comfortable as walking on flat ground. To be unlucky, they're even safer for escaping!"
"Well said," the man said, his smile still lingering as Ningxia added, "I want a mule."
The man looked at Ningxia's unhappy face and didn't dare to speak again. He sat down and typed on the typewriter.
As the man reported and typed, words gradually appeared on the paper on the old machine. Ningxia's survival supplies for the next six months were all on it. Yes, such a rich dowry could only guarantee her survival for six months. Dawn Base, a place where people are eaten.
After a long while, the man raised his head and smiled flatteringly, "Girl, is there anything left?"
Ningxia shook her head. "Are there any supplies left?"
The man smiled even more happily, "Yes! After converting all these, there are still about twenty stalks of star grass left!"
"Change them all. Bring me more daily necessities and seasonings. Just exchange whatever you need for life outside." Ningxia took the list he handed over. The steel stamp on it was waving. After confirming that it was correct, Ningxia turned and left.
After finishing his business, Ningxia did not rush back, but walked to an alley and knocked on a door.
The person inside the door saw Ningxia and smiled brightly, "Xiaoxia is here."
Ningxia walked in and faced the familiar person. She forced a smile on her face, but before she could maintain it, a fierce fist gust of wind came from the side and behind. Before her brain could react, Ningxia had already dodged it nimbly.
Ningxia exchanged two blows before retreating, subtly shifting her numb calf. The attacker was a woman, half a head shorter than Ningxia. She also had short hair and ordinary features, but her physique was agile and full of deadly moves. Unlike Ningxia's lean physique, she possessed a sleek yet unassuming physique.
"Really good skills."
Ning Xia narrowed her eyes. Her already unfriendly appearance now looked even more unapproachable. "Mu Yuanqing?"
The woman raised an eyebrow, "Do you recognize me?"
Ningxia had no idea who she was, but this person was indeed a household name. She was the sister of Mu Yuanjun, the current head of the base. Although Mu Yuanjun's behavior was criticized, this sister made a living by her real ability and had not done anything immoral, except for causing some trouble with her husband's lover from time to time.
Ningxia turned to look at Chen Jin, "What do you mean?"
This man is Mo Guanshan's friend. They often went hunting together when Mo Guanshan was still alive.
"Xiao Xia, don't get me wrong. I'm a bit straightforward. I asked you to come here this time because I really wanted to help you earn some money."
Mu Yuanqing smiled but said nothing.
"You want to muddy the waters? And you want to drag me into this?" Ning Xia glanced at Mu Yuanqing.
The originally calm person finally showed a surprised expression, "Guessed it?"
Ningxia withdrew her gaze. It was not difficult to guess that Mu Yuanqing was a powerful and difficult person to deal with. Her husband's surname was Li, and he was the deputy captain of the hunting team of the base's armed forces. He was in the same boat with Mu Yuanjun.
As Mu Yuanjun's stepsister, Mu Yuanqing not only did not receive any preferential treatment, but her stepbrother also had an affair with her husband.
Some things would be fine if they were kept secret, but now Deputy Captain Li dotes on Liu Xihua, who has risen to a higher position, like the apple of his eye. Mu Yuanjun also looks upon Liu Xihua with favor. Liu Xihua has repeatedly provoked Mu Yuanqing, and this has become known to everyone in the base, and the four of them have been plagued by scandals.
