Chapter 325 I Accept Your Deal
Logically, the boy should be happy that his enemy was dead, but the joy in his eyes was only a fleeting one.
When those people were alive, I didn't dare to die. Now that they died, I was even more afraid to die.
What would happen to his sister if he died?
He couldn't leave his sister alone in this cannibalistic world.
He has to survive.
And he understood that if he wanted to survive, he had to seek help from the person in front of him.
But he also knew that if he had no value, why would others care about him?
He has seen too much of the fickleness of human nature after the apocalypse, and now the people outside are no longer human beings.
The boy licked his chapped lips and looked at Shi Jiaojiao fearlessly, "Those people have a lot of food. I can tell you where the food is, but you have to give me the medicine."
After saying this, he felt a little embarrassed. This was his first time discussing cooperation with an adult.
He knew that the value of medicine was far higher than food rations, so he added anxiously: "They have a lot of food, enough for you to eat for a long time, you won't suffer any loss."
Shi Jiaojiao looked at the boy who was trying hard to make a deal with her. Although he tried his best to look confident, his nervousness was obvious from his eyes and the way he was holding his sister's hand.
"Food, we are not..." Tang Wei was stunned when he heard the boy's words and couldn't help but speak.
But before he could finish his words, Wang Jia pulled him back.
Tang Wei looked at his girlfriend with some confusion. Why was she bringing him up?
Wang Jia used her eyes to tell her boyfriend to shut up. Shi Jiaojiao didn't say anything but it was obvious that she had something in mind. They just had to wait.
After hearing half of Tang Wei's words, the boy instantly pursed his lips and looked nervous.
Could it be that these four people have found the location of the food?
Then what else can I take out for exchange?
The boy turned his head to look at his sister, then calmed down again.
No matter what, I have to survive even if I have to sell myself.
Shi Jiaojiao curled her lips and said, "Okay, I accept your deal."
Hearing these words, the boy's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down and a smile appeared on his face.
The smile looked a little stiff, and the flesh on his cheeks seemed out of control. The boy didn't know how long it had been since he last smiled.
But today, he was so happy. He didn't know how long he could live with his sister, but at least he didn't have to worry about dying.
The boy did not intend to reveal the location of the food until he saw the medicine. A few seconds after Shi Jiaojiao finished speaking, he began to describe the three tombs filled with food in detail. He was even afraid that the other party would not be able to find it, so he drew a simple map on the ground with his finger.
Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly as she listened to the boy's detailed description.
If before, she only felt that the other party was pitiful, now, she had a better impression of this boy.
Smart, he didn't accept his fate even though he was in hell.
It is not known how much effort he put into finding the locations of these three tombs.
The key is that he was not greedy and explained the three tombs clearly in one breath.
You know, there are two tombs close to each other, but there is a small tomb that is more hidden and it is easy to miss it if you don’t look carefully.
After the boy finished speaking, Shi Jiaojiao pretended to take note of the map, then looked at the two of them: "I remember the location, are you going to the tomb where we live or staying here?"
The boy said without hesitation: "Sister, my sister and I won't go over and cause trouble for you. We'll just stay here."
Although the other party did not hurt himself and his sister, how could the word "bad guy" be written on his face?
He didn't want to escape from the tiger's mouth and fall into the wolf's den.
Shi Jiaojiao also noticed the boy's vigilance and nodded, "Okay, I'll bring you what you need later."
The boy thanked her: "Thank you, sister."
The girl who had been standing quietly beside him also spoke softly: "Thank you, brother and sister."
Shi Jiaojiao smiled and turned back to Mu Ci.
At this time, Tang Wei also understood why Wang Jia had pulled him just now.
The boy had suffered too much to trust anyone, and he didn't look like someone who would easily accept kindness from others.
If I had just told them that they had found the location of the food in advance, what would the boy do?
Now is the perfect time for the boy to recover from his injuries without having to worry about owing favors that he cannot repay.
Although the four people did not speak after coming out of the tomb, they all had the same idea.
They had to rescue these two children.
When they were farther away from the tomb, Wang Jia looked at Shi Jiaojiao and said, "Jiaojiao, I have an iron box with some Yunnan Baiyao in it. Please take that out."
Shi Jiaojiao used her consciousness to search in space and soon found the iron box that Wang Jia mentioned.
She simply took out the entire iron box and let Wang Jia look through it herself, while she went to the warehouse to look for something that the boy could use.
Some of the medicines in Wang Jia's hands were found when searching for supplies, and some were taken out of the villa after her parents passed away.
There weren't many medicines to begin with, and after experiencing the apocalypse in the past few years, there weren't many left. This was still thanks to Shi Jiaojiao supporting him from time to time.
The iron box was not big. After opening it, she took out half a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao powder. Thinking of the bumpy wounds on the boy's body, she took out another bottle, unscrewed it, and poured some into the half bottle.
The rest was kept for himself and Tang Wei.
Wang Jia looked at the few medicines left in the box and sighed. There should be medicines for sale at the shelter. He and Tang Wei still had points on their ID cards. He would see if he could find a way to buy some more.
Shi Jiaojiao also took out a lot of things from the warehouse.
She also took out half a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao powder, which was just enough to make up a bottle with the one in Wang Jia's hand.
You can get one box of anti-inflammatory medicine, five bags of painkiller powder, and some miscellaneous medicines that can be used.
The quantity was not much, but it was enough for the boy to eat for a few days.
Shi Jiaojiao saw the gauze in the corner of the warehouse. The boy's wound had to be bandaged, but taking out the gauze would be too conspicuous. Strips of cloth torn from a clean bed sheet could also be used.
In addition to the medicines, Shi Jiaojiao also took two sets of her own clean clothes.
The boy's clothes were extremely dirty, with dried blood stains all over them. It can be said that the boy was lucky to have survived until now.
She was the shortest among the four of them, and the boy could barely wear her clothes.
As for whether to dress as a woman or not, I can hardly survive, so who cares?
The other set of clothes was left for the little girl. Although it was a lot bigger, it was clean at least.
Wang Jia looked at the things they had sorted out, thought for a moment and said, "Give them some more food. Now that those people are dead, no one will bring them food anymore."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded.
The food they were given was the rice they had found in the tomb before.
I also took a cooking bowl, two spoons, and an alcohol lamp.
As for drinking water, there was indeed a lot of well water in the tomb where grain was stored, and the group of people even put lids on the buckets.
But since we know they are infected with prions, who would dare to use this water? It would have been processed long ago.
Shi Jiaojiao's space was not short of water, so she simply filled two large buckets of water in the golden house and took a worn but clean towel.
The boy must wipe his body clean before applying the medicine, otherwise no matter how much anti-inflammatory medicine he takes, it will be useless.
The four of them carried these things and returned to the previous tomb chamber.
