Chapter 574 No Pecking
"Hey! You two bastards! Didn't we tell you not to eat from strangers?"
Their father was angry and looked at Xia Yan as if he was a human trafficker.
Every step I took felt like stepping on a villain, crushing and trampling on him, and the footsteps were very heavy.
The two good kids were so scared that they stood there and dared not move.
The man walked quickly and quickly, approaching the child and reaching out to snatch the candy from his hand.
The two children were angry but dared not say anything. Feeling aggrieved, they watched helplessly as their father's big hand reached out in front of them.
But the next second, there was a handful of green weeds in his palm, and the foxtail grass among them was swaying, making his neck itch.
The man stared in amazement at the small flower that should be blooming in Xia Yan.
This, this is actually real grass!
It was freezing outside, and there wasn't even a handful of hay for the cows to eat.
She actually managed to pull out such a large handful of fresh grass?!
Xia Yan met his gaze, smiled slightly, and said, "If you're not in a hurry, you can take the grass and feed the cows yourself."
The man was dazed by the grass fragrance and looked at his wife with a dazed look, only to see that she was busy taking something out of a big bag.
When I took a closer look, wow, it was full of dried vegetables.
"Dad, go back to the house and get some money. I want to buy all these dried vegetables! The kids haven't had vegetables for a long time and they're always constipated!"
A smile broke out on my mother's wind-beaten face, with fine lines covering her eyes, nose and corners of her mouth.
She looked at Xia Yan with gratitude. It was not until this moment, when the pile of dried vegetables was spread on the ground like some worthless things, that she was truly sure that the man and the bear in front of her were indeed doing legitimate business.
"Wait," Xia Yan interrupted, taking out a crystal core and pinching it between his fingers, "I don't want money. Do you have anything similar to this?"
The man held the weeds under his armpit, took it and tilted it 50 degrees, looked at it carefully for a while, and shook his head.
"No."
Xia Yan: "You haven't seen it? Aren't there zombies here?"
"Zombies? What are those things?"
The expression on the man's face didn't seem fake; he really didn't know.
Xia Yan briefly described the zombies' appearance, "They're just the living dead."
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly looked like he had swallowed a toad, with a disgusted and gloomy expression, and threw the crystal core back through the air.
He wiped his hands vigorously on his trouser pockets.
"I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be something from a dead person's body. Take it away quickly, it's unlucky."
Xia Yan was stunned and confused.
"You don't want money, but you want this thing?" Not only the man frowned, but even his wife had a look of disapproval on her face.
It was as if Xia Yan had done something unforgivable.
"Not really. I also collect gold and silver jewelry, but the value is different, so I'm not sure how much I can exchange them for." Xia Yan said with a wry smile.
"Hey, that's more like it. We have that thing at home. I'll get it for you right away."
After the man bent down and got behind the curtain, his wife approached him quietly.
His eyes shone with sincerity. "Girl, you can't make money from the dead, and you can't take things from the corpse. You will die with regrets, and it will not be good for you. It will bring you bad luck!"
Xia Yan looked at the crystal core in his hand and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
If everyone in the base heard this, they would probably look at me sideways and look at me as if I were a fool.
She asked sincerely, "How do you deal with the corpses of the living dead?"
"Tie them up tightly and bury them in a grave."
"Shouldn't it be a sky burial?"
"Oh, I tried, but the eagle won't peck."
Xia Yan: ...
"Perhaps you don't know this, but even if the living dead are buried, they may still emerge from the earth in the future."
Xia Yan said this because he wanted them to realize how terrifying zombies are and take them seriously.
But the woman just gave her a look that showed she was a poor child who didn't understand anything.
"Don't worry, the grassland is very big, and we move from time to time. Not to mention them, even we don't see any living people. You are the only ones we have encountered in the past two years."
The last sentence happened to be heard by her husband, and the man finally showed his first kind smile.
"Alula is right. Apart from Mr. Huang who is very far away at the foot of the mountain, you are the first living stranger we have met."
In his open palm lay a cloth bag, which he was unraveling layer by layer.
"Here, take it. This is a gold bracelet my wife bought me a while ago.
"This woman, she wanted to buy something when she didn't have it, and then she didn't wear it after buying it. I don't understand it at all. Now it's good, it's useful. I'll use it to exchange for some dried vegetables for the children."
The gold bracelet felt heavy in his hand. Xia Yan took out the appraiser for everything and when he put the bracelet on it, the numbers on it fluctuated rapidly.
The man glanced at Arula, who was silent and bowed her head, and sensing her emotions, he stretched out his voice and said:
"Do you regret it? Sell this bracelet today, and I'll give you the Dzi beads later. That should be fine, right?"
Allura looked up at him, "Alright, regretting it is a cuckold."
The final value is determined on the Estimator of Everything.
Xia Yan put away the bracelet and ordered a bunch of wild grass from the mall and handed it over.
The man's eyes suddenly widened. "Actually, there's more?"
Xia Yan nodded, "Of course, didn't we just say that we should make sure the cow is well fed? Now the value of the bracelet has been estimated, and it can be exchanged for 20,000 points."
The man took the grass and hurried to feed the only livestock in the family, and seemed to have no interest in the money.
Only Arula raised her head and asked, "What are points?"
Xia Yan opened his mouth, but now he couldn't utter a single word that used to come out of his mouth.
This family is a nomadic people who rarely come into contact with the outside world. Instead of giving a dry verbal introduction, it would be better to——
"You should come upstairs with me and take a look. Didn't you just say that the children haven't eaten vegetables for a long time?
"The second and third floors of the hotel are restaurants, where we have a variety of stir-fries and stews, all made with the freshest vegetables."
Xia Yan felt that the visual impact was the greatest. Anyway, the store had not received any customers for a long time, so she was quite willing to entertain them well.
When Arula heard that there was a restaurant upstairs, her jaw dropped in shock.
The original idea of distrust was shattered by repeated shocks.
She also noticed that the soles of her feet were warm, and the strong winds and snow in the mountains could not blow in at all.
This place is like the immortal residence in mythology, where it is warm like spring all year round. Perhaps they do good deeds every day and are finally blessed by God at this time.
When they were ready, Xiong Xiong led the way, pushed open the glass door and waited for customers to come in.
The family of four looked at the tall buildings. The farthest place they had been to was a town dozens of kilometers away.
But the tallest hotel there is not even half as high as the one in front of us.
In the past, they could only pass by the door and take a few more glances to satisfy their curiosity, but now, they are actually going to walk into this palace-like house to eat.
And there are special people to take you on a tour.
This was truly their first experience, and they were both excited and nervous.
