Chapter 240 Am I arrogant?
In the market
"Hey, little guy, how much are you selling these fruits for?" Zuo An squatted in front of a stall selling green fruits.
"One wheat cake will be enough." The little boy was not very old, only about six or seven years old, and he had a dirty smiling face.
"All of them?" Zuo An asked curiously.
"Yeah." The little boy nodded. These fruits were picked from a wild forest outside the city. They were sour, astringent and not tasty.
However, if you boil it in water, you can reduce the strange smell in the water. When people drink it, they can also supplement a certain amount of vitamin C and enhance their immunity.
This kind of fruit is very abundant outside the city, so it is sold very cheaply. Many ordinary people even pick it themselves and never buy it.
Those who come here to buy are all wealthy psychics.
"Where are your parents?" Zuo An asked curiously. It was summer now and it was bright at six o'clock, but it was too bold to let such a young child guard the stall.
"Mom and Dad went out to work and haven't come back yet." The little boy had been guarding the stall alone many times and was not afraid.
"I bought some fruit." Zuo An took out a large meat bun and a bottle of milk from his storage ring and handed them to the little boy. "Eat it. I'll watch over you while you eat."
The little boy looked at the big meat bun and milk and swallowed hard, but he didn't pick them up to eat. Instead, he looked up at Zuo An.
"Big brother, these are too many, they can't be so expensive." These fruits were said to be worth one wheat cake, but someone bargained and half a wheat cake was also acceptable.
"It's okay, big brother has plenty of buns, this one won't make a difference, eat it quickly." Other people around were already looking over.
If he didn't watch the little boy eat the bun, the bun would probably be snatched away by someone else as soon as he left.
"Really?" The little boy couldn't believe it. He was so lucky today to meet such a kind big brother.
"Really, don't worry." Zuo An reached out and touched the little boy's head.
The little boy picked up the big meat bun and opened his mouth to take a bite, but put it down before he touched it. "Big brother, my mother has a little brother and sister. Can I take the big bun back to her to eat?"
The little boy's eyes were so clear, so clear that it made Zuo An's heart soften.
Due to the scarcity of food, the survival points had to give priority to those with special abilities, and the wheat cakes that ordinary people could obtain from their daily work could only guarantee basic survival.
Even if the city lord gives an extra wheat cake to families with children and pregnant women for the sake of the future of mankind, it will not be able to provide enough nutrition.
"Eat it, I have more here, I'll bring it back to you later." Zuo An stretched out his hands like a magic trick, and two big buns appeared in them. "After you finish eating, I'll give you these two."
The little boy's eyes lit up, and for the sake of the two big buns, he started to nibble on the big bun in his hand.
With one bite, the soft dough was bitten open, revealing the braised meat filling. The overbearing aroma of the braised meat spread in all directions, and the vendors around who smelled the fragrance couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly.
Does the little boy know how to eat that big meat bun?
"Don't choke, drink some milk." Zuo An inserted the straw of pure milk and handed it to the little boy.
The little boy took the milk, took a big sip, and took a bite of the bun. As he chewed, tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
"What's wrong? Is the milk expired?" Zuo An grabbed the pure milk, checked its production date, and found that it was not expired.
"It's not that the milk is expired, it's that I remembered the past." The little boy wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves and forced a smile.
Three years ago, he was already four years old and had memories. He remembered that at that time, his parents would buy him whatever he wanted to eat.
His grandparents are still alive, and he feels that he is the happiest child in the world. In the past, he didn’t like to eat big buns and pure milk. He liked to eat fried chicken and cake.
But now, the big buns and pure milk are the best things he has eaten since the end of the world began.
"I miss my grandparents." The little boy suddenly burst into tears.
Zuo An was instantly confused. Why did he start crying so loudly?
"Don't cry, don't cry." Zuo An was at a loss, not knowing how to make the little boy stop.
"Hey, you're bullying kids here." A rough voice suddenly interrupted.
Zuo An turned his head and saw a big man with tattoos on his arms and a few yellow-haired guys standing three meters away from him.
This person has bad intentions!
Zuo An stood up and turned around to see the ball still behind him. He felt more confident and asked, "What's going on? Are you looking for trouble?"
"Hey, kid, you're so arrogant in my territory." The big man with tattoos obviously didn't expect that Zuo An could still be so arrogant after seeing so many of them.
"Arrogant." Zuo An laughed. He turned and asked Yuanqiu, "Am I arrogant?"
Seeing Zuo An's beaming expression, Yuanqiu couldn't help but chuckle, "Not arrogant enough."
Zuo An immediately turned to look at the tattooed man, "See, I'm not arrogant enough."
"Boy, don't you want to live anymore?" The big man with tattoos glared at Zuo An and reached out to grab him.
Zuo An took a step forward with his left foot, stretched out his right hand, wrapped it around him, and pushed the tattooed man out.
The huge push made it impossible for the tattooed man to stand steadily. He stepped back with thumps, and pushed down several yellow-haired men who had no time to retreat, causing them to howl in pain.
"That's called arrogance." Zuo An clapped his hands and tilted his head, acting out the look of a smug villain to perfection.
"Pa pa pa pa..." A crisp slapping sound came from the side.
Zuo An looked towards the source of the sound and saw a circle of people gathered around.
Each of these people looks very imposing, and their clothes are much better than those of ordinary people.
Alas, it seems that the act of scattering food has attracted the attention of some people. However, Zuo An took a step back and retreated to the side of the ball.
"Ball, take off the deception."
The ball obeyed and removed the illusion from the two people.
The true appearance of the two people appeared in front of everyone, especially Yuanqiu's conspicuous white hair and red eyes, which made the people surrounding them take a step back.
Seeing that everyone was so sensible, Zuo An turned around and squatted down to hand the buns and milk he had promised to the little boy, who had stopped crying.
"Take it back. When your mother comes home from get off work, bring her to the Wanjie Marriage House. Big brother has a surprise for you." Zuo An touched the little boy's head with a smile.
Then Zuo An stood up and said to the people around him, "You guys wouldn't steal a child's things, would you?"
"No, whoever dares, I will kill him." The big man with tattoos, who was originally knocked unconscious by the fall, immediately changed his expression after seeing the appearance of Zuo An and the other man.
"Thank you very much. I had a great time shopping today. In an hour, families with children under 18 or pregnant women can bring them to our Wanjie Marriage House."
After saying that, Zuo An stretched out his hand and hooked Yuanqiu's finger. Yuanqiu immediately understood what Zuo An meant. He stretched out his long arm and hooked it around Zuo An's waist. After snapping his fingers, the two of them disappeared.
"Oh my god, teleportation, such an amazing ability." Someone exclaimed in amazement.
"I think it's more than that. Just now, the white-haired man glanced at us and we took a step back in fright."
"It's pressure..."
…
A group of people were whispering, but they kept Zuo An's last words in their hearts.
