Chapter 336 Another Purple Crystal
While I was eating, I suddenly heard a knock outside. Someone was knocking on the car door.
All three of them looked outside.
I saw a fat man with a big gold chain, a big belly and a greasy face bending over and looking inside through the window glass.
Yang Qing rolled down the car window and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"
As soon as the car window opened, the aroma of fried rice wafted out. The fat man sniffed and swallowed. It smelled so good!
"What are you going to do?" Leng Yi looked over in a deep voice.
"Brother, don't get me wrong." The fat man put on a smile. "You are Chinese too, right? We are all from the same hometown. The thing is, my family came here from Zengcheng. There was a disaster there recently. We left in a hurry and didn't bring any food. Can you give us some?"
The fat man took a look at the fried rice in Yang Qing's hand and said, "Of course, I won't take it for free. I'll give you money!"
The fat man picked up a suitcase and opened it. Inside was a box of neatly arranged money, all new currency.
Yang Qing looked at Leng Yi. They had used this money yesterday and knew it could be used, but they didn't know what Li Cheng's situation was and were afraid that the money would not be usable when the time comes.
Wang Hao saw this and thought Leng Yi and the others weren't very familiar with the situation here, so he quickly said, "This money has depreciated significantly now. By the time it reaches Licheng, it might just be waste paper, too hard to even wipe your butt. Who wants your money?"
Yang Qing and Leng Yi both looked at the fat man indifferently, with an expression that said, "You take us for fools."
The fat man quickly said, "Don't want this, I still have gold."
He quickly took off the big gold chain from his neck and handed it to Yang Qing. It was stained with the fat man's sweat and smelled of sweat.
Yang Qing turned her face away in disdain, curled her fingers and wiped her nose, "I don't need this."
The fat man was anxious. Before the end of the world, he was a contractor. After making his first fortune, he started a real estate business. He caught the right opportunity and became rich. His net worth was over 10 billion.
Who knew that before the last batch of houses were built, the end of the world came and all my money was gone. Fortunately, when I was rich, my wife and children loved antiques and jewelry, so they sold a lot of them and finally escaped here with great difficulty.
When we arrived, we were introduced by a so-called "tour guide" and stayed in a small courtyard.
Unexpectedly, someone broke into the house that night. Fortunately, he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and found out. He hurriedly called his family and ran away from the back door with valuables at night.
They met a man driving a van outside, who promised them a large sum of money before letting them get in his van and taking them to Licheng.
We were in such a hurry that we didn't think to bring any food. We were so hungry after a day and a night without any shops along the way.
At noon, everyone stopped to eat. He observed several cars and found that Yang Qing and Leng Yi were different from others. They looked fair and clean, and their clothes were clean and tidy. It was obvious that they had not suffered any hardship, so they must have a lot of supplies.
He asked several cars, but no one was willing to exchange things with him.
After walking around, he came back and saw people in the car eating fried rice. He was so greedy that his mouth was watering.
Looking at their car again, although it is a bit old, the rear compartment is bulging under the tarpaulin, and there must be a lot of good things inside. They are all Chinese, so there should still be hope of exchanging with them.
Seeing that Yang Qing wasn't interested in the fat man's big gold chain, Wang Hao shouted, "Didn't you hear me? We don't want this thing. Get out of here!"
The fat man was anxious, "I, I have other things, wait a minute!"
After saying that, he ran back to his car and came back a few moments later with something in his pocket.
"This is a good thing. Miss will definitely like it."
Yang Qing looked at the box in his hand curiously. The box was not big, it was a silver metal box, more like a jewelry box.
"What is it?"
The fat man opened the box with a smile, and an irregular light purple gem pendant appeared in front of him, emitting a light purple light.
Yang Qing's pupils shrank. This purple pendant looked like the purple crystal that Dr. Zhang gave her, except that it was a little smaller and lighter in color.
"What is this?" Yang Qing said calmly, "Can I see it?"
"Of course!" The fat man quickly handed the thing over. Yang Qing stretched out his fingers and touched it, and clearly felt the energy fluctuations inside. The energy was even greater than that of the table-sized meteorite picked up at the military base.
Leng Yi sensed that Yang Qing was a little emotional, so he came over and said, "Let me see what good stuff you have."
Seeing his interest, the fat man quickly said, "I bought this at a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong. I bought it for over 100 million. It's an absolutely natural diamond, not artificially cut."
Yang Qing took a look. Could there be a natural diamond that was purple? How could it be so beautiful without being cut? Perhaps it wasn't a diamond.
She had received diamond rings before, but ordinary diamonds did not have such energy fluctuations.
Wang Hao noticed that Yang Qing seemed a little moved, so he deliberately said, "This thing looks good, but what use is it in this apocalypse? It can't be eaten."
"This is the gift I prepared for my daughter's 20th birthday. If I had no other choice, I would not be willing to take it out." The fat man was anxious.
"How do you want to change it?" Yang Qing asked calmly, showing no special interest, just thinking it looked good.
The fat man glanced at the back of the pickup truck, then looked at the unfinished fried rice and peaches in their hands, and said with a smile, "I want 500 kilograms of rice, 10 boxes of water, and two boxes of fruit..."
Before he could finish, Yang Qing snapped the box shut and threw it into the fat man's arms. "I just thought it looked pretty and wanted to use it as a toy. Do you think I'm stupid? Go, go, go!"
After saying that, he turned the car window and was about to close it.
"Wait, wait!" The fat man hurriedly grabbed the glass and held it tightly, squeezing his fat face forward with a flattering look on his face, "A little less is fine, don't be impatient, we can talk, we can talk..."
Wang Hao sneered, "How can you talk like that? You're asking for too much? You're just a broken stone. My sister-in-law thinks it's beautiful and wants to wear it for fun. How can it be worth hundreds of kilograms of grain? Don't think we're stupid?"
Leng Yi just looked at him coldly without saying a word.
The fat man was sweating anxiously, "Then how much do you want to give?"
Yang Qing looked at him and smiled, "At most one hundred kilograms of grain, fifty kilograms of potatoes, and five bottles of mineral water."
The fat man gritted his teeth and looked at the rice and peaches in their hands. "Is there any more rice? Where are the peaches?"
Wang Hao was a little speechless and opened the bag. "These are the only ones I have left. I'll give them all to you!"
"There are only two boxes of rice left." Yang Qing took out two boxes of fried rice from her bag.
"Okay, deal!" the fat man said quickly.
With these things, I should be able to hold on until I reach Licheng, and then I'll have a way to find my relatives.
Yang Qing smiled and handed a plastic bag to Wang Hao. He took out the peaches and put them into the bag.
Yang Qing winked at Leng Yi, and the two got out of the car and walked towards the back of the pickup truck.
Leng Yi was waiting under the car. Yang Qing got in and got under the tarpaulin without opening it. Then he took out two 50-kilogram bags of rice, a box of potatoes, and five bottles of mineral water. Leng Yi took them and gave them to the fat man.
The fat man took the things and happily moved them to his car.
