Chapter 749: Take the things back
"Thank you Sister Xiang Yu, I like it very much. Is this a pig?" Xie Li asked in disbelief. After getting Xiang Yu's affirmative answer, he became even happier.
Walking around the cage, the smile on Xie Li's face never faded.
He even forgot why he came in to find Xiang Yu.
But even if he remembered, with the two little pigs in front of him, he no longer felt angry at all, and was only filled with joy.
"Master, welcome home..." A team of patrol robots happened to come over, and when they scanned Xiang Yu's identity, they shouted in unison.
Xie Li was so excited that sweat broke out on the tip of his nose. He picked up the black cloth on the ground and covered the cage again. Xie Li pushed the handle of the cage with both hands.
"Sister Xiang Yu, I'm going home first..." Xie Li pushed the cage away without looking back. He just wanted to push the two little pigs back to show Mother Xie.
Everything was normal in the fortress. Xiang Yu went to the warehouse where medicinal herbs and grain were stored and found that half of the grain in the warehouse was gone. The remaining food could last for at least three months.
As for medicinal materials, two large warehouses have been purchased. It seems that Xie Li has not been idle during this period.
Several robots responsible for exchanging food were busy at the gate. Xiang Yu was sitting at the registration table, looking through some medicinal material data recorded on it.
[It’s been eight days since Sister Xiang Yu left. Today, I bought a total of 32 kilograms of medicinal materials. In the morning, I encountered a group of survivors making trouble. I suppressed them with one hand…]
[It’s been twenty-third day since Sister Xiang Yu left. Today, I purchased a total of twenty-one kilograms of medicinal materials. I’m unlucky today. I’ve been targeted by assassins from the two empires…]
【…………. 】
The notebook not only records the quantity and weight of purchased medicinal materials, but also the amount of food consumed each day, as well as some of the things that happened that day.
He even recorded what Xie Li had done when he took food from the robot.
"Who is this woman? Where is the child from before..."
"I think you guys are new here recently. This woman is the real owner of the fortress."
"No way, don't make such a joke."
"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask yourself..."
Several people in the team were discussing that they had indeed just arrived in the plains area recently and were not familiar with the place at all.
They fled all the way from the capital and were out of ammunition and food. They happened to hear from others that there was a fortress in the plains where they could exchange food, so they fled here.
The world has been in chaos recently. First, the two empires attacked the Dawn Base together, and not only the Dawn Base suffered.
There were even many bases and shelters, large and small, that also fell victim to the attacks of the two empires.
They will integrate all domestic resources and redistribute them, and even all survivors in the shelters will have to submit to them.
Amid the turmoil, their shelter was in disaster and they fled all the way here.
It has only been a few years since we have had a peaceful life, and now the survivors of the escape can once again be seen in various cities.
The number of survivors in the country is already small, and now that we are experiencing war again, the number of survivors will probably drop sharply again.
Xiang Yu picked up the notebook and took a look at it, taking a general look at what had happened in the past few months.
After a while, Xie Chunyan brought Xie Li to the door.
Xie Chunyan pushed the cage with both hands, her face serious, but also with some reluctance.
Xie Li was obviously scolded by her. He looked listless, his shoulders drooped, and his hands were fiddling behind his back.
At this time, there were very few survivors who wanted to exchange food, and Xie Chunyan came when there were few people around.
"Xiang Yu, when did you come back? You seem to have lost a lot of weight recently..." Xie Chunyan pushed the cage next to Xiang Yu.
As for the fortress gate, she didn't dare to get close to it. During this period, Xie Li had fed the two plants a lot of food.
Even if you look at it from a distance, it's a little scary.
Xiang Yu glanced at the cage at his feet and Xie Li's expression, and roughly understood what Xie Chunyan meant.
"Sister Xie, I just got back too. The food outside is not as good as the food at home. I have indeed lost a lot of weight..."
Xiang Yu and Xie Chunyan exchanged a few words of greeting, and only when there were no survivors left here did Xie Chunyan speak.
"Xiang Yu, we don't want such a valuable thing. You can take it back. Xie Li hasn't been of much help here in the past few months. Just pay him as we agreed before..."
Xie Chunyan was filled with panic. In the past few years since the end of the world, she and Xie Li had traveled far and wide before they finally settled down here.
She was well aware of the changes in the world today. In those large bases, pigs were a precious food.
The most abundant meat is chicken and duck, which are well-fed, but very few survive.
If she fed these two suckling pigs, she and Xie Li would definitely be targeted by many survivors.
In addition, food is in short supply now, and she and Xie Li only rely on Xiang Yu to have a meal. If they want to raise two suckling pigs in the future, they definitely cannot afford it.
