Chapter 119: Extreme Cold. Self-improvement
Chu An was about to leave, but when she saw the uncle fighting back, she felt that he still had hope of surviving in the apocalypse. She also needed a fishing net, so she took Gu Ye and him to the plastic shed.
Unexpectedly, I met Lao Li and Xiao Li here. They had just helped a big brother assemble a cabinet that can be carried on his back. It is a bit like the box carried by ancient scholars, with a shed on top to shelter from wind and rain, and chairs underneath for sitting down and resting at any time.
The two of them only received 4 liang of soaked rice, which was already enough to make people envious.
Chu An just wanted to collect construction tools, but she didn't know much about this business. Although they were carpenters, they knew more than her and Gu Ye.
She hired them for 10,000 yuan a day, and asked them to collect the construction tools from tomorrow and send them to the designated location by speedboat. The two were very happy, as 10,000 yuan could buy 10 kilograms of good rice.
After agreeing on the delivery, the two went to find the uncle. Gu Ye lifted the curtain, which scared the uncle. He thought it was the stall owner who was chasing him.
"Sell...sell." After the uncle saw who was coming, he stuttered, "Sell."
The old lady was quick to respond and introduced, "Our family's fishing nets are handed down from our ancestors. What type do you want to buy?"
"I want everything." Chu An said.
"San'er, quickly pour some water for the distinguished guest." The old lady turned her head following the voice and tried to look at them, so that she could speak politely. "Girl, then you have found the right person. Our Chen family has no other skills, but making fishing nets is definitely the best."
"We don't drink water, show us."
"Okay, San'er, hurry up and show the distinguished guest around."
San'er had regained his composure. He nodded at them and began to tour the place. He had everything that was sold officially, as well as many nets and cages that he had invented himself.
"This one is for catching crabs. This one is a shellfish collector."
Then he picked up a sharp weapon that looked like a dagger and introduced it, "This is specially used to dig out dog claw snails."
The essence of our ancestors, including nets, fishing lines, traps, slingshots, fishing rods, slides, covers, diving and beams, are all included.
"Here are also the ultrasonic fish traps, underwater detectors, and electric flying claws that I made."
"Are you responsible for delivery?" Chu An asked.
"Free." San'er rubbed his hands. His things were all good and many people came to buy them at the beginning. However, after someone died of poisoning after eating food in the water, fewer people bought them.
Chu An didn't take all of them. She pointed at the tools in the shed to make sure that every type of tool was available. The amount she ordered was only half of what was in the shed. "Let's calculate how much these are in total."
San'er knew what was going on and said directly, "Girl, I'll tell you the truth. The weather is getting worse and worse. If you want to eat enough, you have to rely on the sea. If you want to fish out the things in the sea, you have to rely on these things. So don't think that the money I want is too much."
He made the number two with his fingers, and Gu Ye thought it was two million based on today's prices, but he actually said two hundred thousand.
There are so many things, and they are so cheap.
"Deal. Please pack the stuff for me and leave it with you. I'll have someone pick it up in a few days."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away?"
"Then run. How far can you run with your old mother?"
Two hundred thousand yuan could buy 500 kilograms of soaked rice, plus government subsidies, it was enough for the two of them to survive the extreme cold.
After ordering the fishing net, it was already half past five. Chu An and Gu Ye went to collect the government subsidy, which included two sets of clothes, two kilograms of rice and two bottles of hot sauce.
After they took it, two more people came over and laughed at Chu An's sportswear and the little fat boy in the street. The two of them no longer had the arrogance of the past, their faces were pale and their eyes were dull.
The two also recognized Chu An and Gu Ye, revealing expressions of great surprise. Although Chu An and Gu Ye were not dressed very well, their spirits could not be hidden.
"The people from the village in the city..." The little fat guy, oh no, the little fat guy who had lost a lot of weight, pointed at Chu An in fear and said, "It's you, what are you going to do?"
Nothing to do, just getting ready to go home.
The two of them didn't want to pay attention to them, so Gu Ye pushed the cart away. There were still 25 minutes before the boat left, so they had to gather.
The two of them were walking a little fast, and the car accidentally hit the woman, but Gu Ye only realized it after the woman reminded him, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Chu An was always half a step ahead of Gu Ye and didn't see what happened, but looking at the woman's expression, he felt that things were not that simple.
"Oh, my arm, my arm hurts so much." The woman looked decent, but she must be in her thirties. She grabbed the corner of Gu Ye's clothes with her other hand, tears streaming down her face, "Little brother... my arm hurts so much."
Gu Ye was confused, he was clearly pushing in a straight line and didn't see anyone nearby, so how come he touched the lady's arm when he passed by her?
"I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you."
Seeing him apologize repeatedly, the woman's mouth corners unconsciously rose, and then quickly smoothed, "Little brother, I live in Shangjin Community in Xicheng District. I have a twin sister at home. We two sisters depend on each other for survival and have a very hard life. Since you hit me, can you take me home?"
"I'm sorry, I came here by ferry, and I can't take you there without a rubber boat," Gu Ye explained.
The woman stared with eyes wide open in disbelief. He had clearly bought so many things, how could he not have a speedboat, or even an inflatable boat.
"Then I...I will go home with you first, and you can take me back after my injury is healed."
Gu Ye shook his head like a rattle, "That won't work. I also live in someone else's house."
The woman's eyes were instantly filled with tears again. "What should I do? My hand is injured. I can't carry things or work."
Some people nearby started to talk about it, and first a middle-aged woman said, "I can tell from the looks of it that this woman is not a good person. It's so cold, and she's wearing such a low-cut dress. Her private parts are about to be exposed."
The older brother next to him disagreed, "Maybe she doesn't have any other clothes. I think this girl is quite pitiful."
Next to the eldest brother was his wife, who pinched him hard after hearing this, "Are you bored?"
The eldest brother hurriedly apologized, but was ruthlessly dragged out of the crowd by his lover by the ear.
"Brother, please give us some compensation. Life is hard for everyone now." Someone suggested.
"It's okay to take her home. It would be so pleasing to the eye to have such a beautiful girl home." Someone joked.
The woman turned into a little lamb, trying to hide in Gu Ye's arms as if she was afraid. Gu Ye couldn't do what she wanted, so he quickly took a step back, not caring about the car.
The woman failed and almost fell flat on her face. She cried even more sadly, "We sisters have such a hard life. We were bullied by the building bully before, and my sister injured her leg and couldn't walk. The building bully was finally captured, and I came out just to exchange for some food. Wuwuwu... Now my hand is injured, what should I do with my sister?"
Passerby A: "Oh, how pitiful."
Passerby B: "Who wouldn't be pitiful now?"
Passerby C: "Young man, why don't you take her home and make her your wife."
Gu Ye now understood that this was a scammer. His face suddenly darkened, "I can't marry her. I don't have any money or supplies, and I live in someone else's house.
If you insist that I pay, then we'll go find the security guard or administrator and I'll do whatever they say."
