Carl went out in the morning and came back in the afternoon to find that the hotel had undergone earth-shaking changes again.
He was dragging a large bag of scrap metal and looking at the green lawn in front of him, not knowing where to start.
Is this grass?
I think so.
Since the nuclear explosion, he had only seen this plant in books.
Who can tell him why this lawn, which should be carefully maintained in a greenhouse and viewed by people through glass, was just planted casually on the ground?
What if you get stepped on?
He can't afford the compensation!
This morning, this piece of land was still a barren wasteland.
Now, even the air is refreshing.
Carl hesitated and paced around the door, not daring to step on the soft grass.
Gu Huaiwei happened to be carrying a barbecue grill out of the store and saw him standing at the door like a confused ostrich.
"What are you doing at the door? Are you performing a shaman act?" she asked with a smile.
Karl waved his hands hurriedly, the 1.9-meter-tall man looking particularly uneasy: "No... I'm just afraid of stepping on the grass."
If it is damaged, he cannot afford to pay for it.
Although he had some private savings, all that money was used to buy guns. He was very frugal in his daily life.
"Don't worry, the grass is meant to be stepped on." Gu Huaiwei smiled. "You can step on it, but don't pull it out intentionally. You can't take any of the grass or trees that belong to the Oasis Hotel out."
"Trampled? Just like that?" Carl's mouth dropped open slightly, his eyes widening in shock, a crack appearing on his stoic face. "This rare plant is being trampled on so casually? This is something you might not even see in a greenhouse!"
Gu Huaiwei was amused by his reaction.
"It's just a few blades of grass, but you make them sound like they're worth gold." Gu Huaiwei ignored his fuss and continued to set up the barbecue grill.
Carl muttered, "Gold is not as valuable as this grass!"
Gu Huaiwei is planning to have barbecue tonight.
She raised her voice and said to Karl: “In the evening, I will make a barbecue on the lawn. If you want to eat, you can exchange nutrients, inhibitors and the like with me.
Well... you can use a gun, too."
"My gun is very expensive." Carl frowned.
"Once you smell it, you might change your mind." Gu Huaiwei joked, then turned around and called Lin She to come over for help.
Lin Snake is very active in things like barbecue.
Originally, Gu Huaiwei asked Lin Shechuan to grill the skewers while she would make the charcoal fire herself.
As a result, when she moved the charcoal fire over, she found that Lin She used three pounds of mutton and only made one pound of skewers.
There are a lot less things that are visible to the naked eye.
The fire hasn't even been lit yet and so much meat has disappeared.
"You go blow the fire." Gu Huaiwei put one hand on her waist.
"Okay." Lin She was obedient. He put down the skewers in his hand and quietly fiddled with the charcoal fire.
There was no expression on his face, and it was as if he had not done anything bad.
I have no idea what a guilty conscience is.
The charcoal fire grew stronger, emitting an orange-red light, reflecting on the pale skin of the forest snake. He fiddled with the iron stick, and smoke rose up, adding a bit of the smell of fireworks.
The fragrance gradually spread and drifted away with the breeze, attracting the guests staying in the hotel to stick their heads out.
Carl is no exception.
He looked down from the window of the room, smelled the aroma of meat, and swallowed.
Originally, he was concentrating on assembling guns in the room.
Now, looking at the parts on the table, Carl suddenly felt that the assembled gun in his hand didn't seem so interesting anymore.
Want to eat.
Smells so good.
This taste is even better than expensive fruit-flavored nutritional supplements!
"Maybe, probably, it's not impossible to exchange it for an ordinary small pistol." Carl said to himself and finally went downstairs.
In the end, Gu Huaiwei got what she wished and used ten lamb skewers, ten beef skewers, and ten skewers of grilled leeks to exchange for Carl's modified Glock 19C pistol and fifty rounds of bullets.
What Carl gave Gu Huaiwei was the most popular civilian pistol he had. This type of pistol was not expensive, the bullets were easy to buy and cheap, and the recoil was relatively small, making it suitable for novices.
In the wasteland, many wanderers use this one.
As single men who are thrifty and good at managing their household, Karl and Gu Huaiwei bargained down the price from ten skewers to thirty skewers of both meat and vegetables, which took a lot of effort.
Gu Huaiwei gritted her teeth and agreed with a painful look on her face.
But when the deal was finally concluded, Karl still saw the smile on Gu Huaiwei's lips.
Like a profiteer.
He was wondering if he had lost out.
I should order two more bunches of green vegetables.
Gu Huaiwei clenched her fists and placed them on her chest, saying sadly that this was absolutely a conscience price, and that it was an internal price given to him because of his honesty.
Carl looked suspiciously: "Is this true? Don't try to trick me like those cunning wanderers."
The homeless often mixed brass with gold coins and bought guns from Carl.
"You have to believe me, I've always done business with integrity." Gu Huaiwei raised two fingers with a solemn oath, "If I cheat you, I'll be an orphan without parents."
Let me tell you a ridiculous joke: Gu Huaiwei has no parents.
"Don't say that." Carl felt a surge of guilt. "Oh, I'm sorry. I take it back. I... I'll give you five more bullets."
He felt that he should not doubt such a sincere businessman.
Although her origins were mysterious, she was able to build a hotel building in an instant and possessed many precious materials that only existed before the nuclear explosion, but after all, she was just a young girl, and as a man, he should not bully her like this.
"Then I'll give you five more bunches of bok choy." Gu Huaiwei happily accepted the five bullets and then stuffed six bunches of bok choy into his hands.
"That's too much. This is six skewers."
"Oh, if there are extra, just keep them." Gu Huaiwei counted more on purpose.
Karl instantly felt that Gu Huaiwei was a rare good person, and he would be so guilty that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
In the middle of the night, he burped because he ate too much and woke up from his dream. Sitting on the bed, he felt that he deserved to die for doubting such a conscientious shop owner.
When night fell and everyone fell asleep, Gu Huaiwei took out the skin of the scarred woman, went to the lawn, dug a hole, buried the skin, and then made a wreath with small white wild flowers growing on the lawn and placed it on the small mound of earth.
“Thank you for teaching me the sword technique. I will practice it well.
I don’t know whether you succeeded in your revenge, I just hope you died a worthy death.
May the pain you suffer in this life end with the disappearance of your physical body.
May you be free from suffering and attain happiness and infinite light in your next life."
There is no Milky Way in the wasteland night, and the rust-like color will return to darkness and tranquility at night.
Lin Snake blended into the night. He held the red umbrella and appeared silently behind Gu Huaiwei, staring at her with his dark green eyes, praying for the dead to be reincarnated.
He saw the faint halo around her.
