After saying that, she didn't care about the colorful expressions on the people's faces and simply raised the car window again. It was very cold outside and she didn't want to let out the heat from the lightning.
After hearing what she said, the people at the door became more alert and immediately started discussing in a low voice.
Liao was extremely surprised when he heard He Xiaobei report the specific number of their sheep. Moreover, this girl actually had a gun. No wonder she dared to go up the mountain alone. But he changed his mind and said to the people next to him:
"Let's discuss this inside."
Then he took the lead and walked into the courtyard. About ten people at the door followed him in. When closing the door, they did not forget to look back and take a look at He Xiaobei's car.
Doctor Liao saw that everyone was gathered, cleared his throat and said:
"Let me first give you my opinion on this matter. I think we can trade. First of all, although she is alone, she is armed, so we can't use force. We don't know when those guys next door might come and cause trouble again, and we do lack some deterrent weapons. Although we have to give up a lot of sheep, without weapons, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep them in the end. As for other things, we can exchange some medicine and seeds. We have enough food for the time being."
After he finished speaking, he began to scan the crowd, hoping they would give suggestions. The crowd discussed for a while, and then an elderly lady spoke first:
"I, an old woman, also think this deal is feasible. If we had a gun today, Ah Qi wouldn't have to die. I won't live much longer, but you must be able to protect yourselves. As for the rest, you can discuss it. Our family has no objection."
As soon as the old lady said this, the others nodded, and then a strong man added:
"The deal is fine, but how can we be sure she actually has a gun? What if she's trying to trick us?"
Doctor Liao laughed after hearing this:
"She's alone. How could she dare go up the mountain without a gun? And if she wanted to rob us, she wouldn't come here tonight and tell us all this. So, if everyone has no objection, let's discuss the details."
In the car outside the door, He Xiaobei was drinking a can of eight-treasure porridge when she saw someone rushing out and knocking on her car window. She lowered the window and looked at the person:
"Have you discussed it?"
The young man was slightly stunned when he saw He Xiaobei, then his ears quickly turned red, and then he quickly shook his head and said:
"No, we haven't discussed it yet. Oh, we want to know how many sheep you want to exchange?"
"The more the better. You can discuss how much you can exchange for me. I'm open to it."
After saying that, she didn't care about the young man's expression, and simply rolled up the car window and continued to eat the eight-treasure porridge in her hand.
The young man had a lot to say to the woman in the car, but when he saw the car window slowly rising, he turned around and left. However, he couldn't take his eyes off the car.
Her appearance was picturesque, as if she had stepped out of a classical oil painting; her skin was as white as snow and as delicate as mutton-fat jade; and her blue eyes were more like the depths of the ocean. The young man could not help but sigh inwardly:
"This sister is so beautiful!"
After a full fifteen minutes, He Xiaobei finally received the results of their discussion.
The door of the courtyard was pushed open again. Doctor Liao walked in front, followed by a group of young and old. After walking out of the courtyard, Doctor Liao signaled them to stop and not come any closer, and then he walked to He Xiaobei's car window alone.
He Xiaobei opened the car window when he saw him coming:
"Has the discussion been completed?"
Doctor Liao stood outside the car door, rubbing his hands:
"We've discussed it. We need five pistols and 50 rounds of ammunition, 50 antibiotic pills, and 100 grams of vegetable seeds if you have any. We'll also give you 200 kilograms of rice. We'll trade these for 20 sheep. Don't worry, our sheep are doing well. Although not as good as before the apocalypse, each one weighs at least 80 kilograms."
After hearing this, He Xiaobei did not rush to answer him, but instead probed into the space with her mind. She checked the supplies she had searched from those little guys before. There were guns, but she didn't know if there were that many bullets.
After searching for a long time, she reached under the seat and smuggled out two pistols, holding them in front of the car window and said to Dr. Liao:
"Five pistols, two models in total, with 10 rounds of ammunition for each pistol. If possible, I will go up the mountain to trade tomorrow morning. You must help me slaughter the sheep and pack the skin, meat, and internal organs separately."
When Dr. Liao saw her suddenly take out a pistol, he was startled and took a step back.
After hearing what she said, I was delighted. The other party was so straightforward, so I nodded quickly and said:
"We can kill him, but we want to wait until tomorrow when you come. We also hope you can understand us. If we kill him today and you don't come tomorrow, it will be in vain."
He Xiaobei felt that the other party had considered everything very carefully. After thinking for a while, he said:
"How many will it take to kill all 20?"
"It's quick to kill, but cleaning the internal organs is more troublesome, so it takes longer. If the internal organs don't need us to clean, it can be killed in two or three hours."
He Xiaobei was happy in her heart. Cleaning was now easy for her, so she said generously:
"I don't need you to clean it, but you have to separate all the internal organs and pack them. I'll add five more cans of eight-treasure porridge, and you have them help me turn the sheep intestines inside out."
There was no reason for them to disagree. They wanted a lot of supplies and thought the other party would bargain. However, they agreed right away. Not only that, but now they have given them more supplies. They are so happy that they can't wait to be happy.
So the deal was reached amicably. He Xiaobei asked to come early the next morning, and then left with Lightning.
She didn't go far, but returned to the five-story building where she watched the excitement during the day and stayed there for the night.
He Xiaobei naturally knew that the supplies the other party wanted were indeed a little high, but she was too lazy to bargain. She just wanted the other party to feel that she had gotten a great deal and then trade more with her.
The next morning, she got up before daybreak, took out her F450, and threw all the necessary supplies into the trunk. She estimated the space that 20 sheep would take up and felt that it should still be enough. Then, she took Lightning and followed yesterday's tire tracks all the way up the mountain.
The people on the mountain were also looking forward to her coming, and they sent people to wait for her halfway up the mountain early in the morning. The moment they saw the car lights in the distance, they turned around and ran up the mountain to go back and inform everyone.
With He Xiaobei's eyesight, she naturally saw the person who was on guard halfway, but she didn't care about it.
