Chapter 95 94. Going to the Wasteland
“Did you really dig it?”
Zhou Qian looked at Huai Yu, his eyes full of helplessness.
He was about to say something warning, but then he remembered that he had been giving such warnings ever since he met Huai Yu, and the other party was still thriving.
So he paused, smiled helplessly, and closed his mouth again.
Then he looked at the full and heavy backpack, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Don't send me anymore in the future."
"I'm going on a mission to the wasteland, Xiaoyu."
"Ah?" Huaiyu was a little confused: "Do the defense troops also need to go to the wasteland? I thought they were all garrison troops."
"Yes." Zhou Qian replied calmly: "The garrison troops are recruited from all over the country. Many people don't know the situation from Huacheng to the wasteland, so every operation is a joint effort of the local defense troops and the garrison troops."
"This is not a secret, but I'm telling you since you don't understand anything... This mission may take a long time, Xiaoyu, don't send anything over."
He thought for a moment, then looked at the sentry standing at his post, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression: "...It's okay to send it occasionally. I'll tell them to help you as much as possible."
He suddenly became so serious that Huaiyu was actually a little uncomfortable with it - is it really so dangerous to go to the wilderness?
Why was even Zhou Qian so cautious? Zhou Qian could see her confusion, and at this moment he reached out and touched her head: "It seems that the wood-type ability is really good - it has prevented you from feeling the malice of plants until now."
He thought for a moment, then added with a smile, "It seems that living in the Rose Corridor is the right choice. With it here, there are no mutant animals."
"It's fine, Xiaoyu, stay safe - and thank you for the gift."
This time he did not refuse. Instead, he picked up the bamboo shoots swiftly and turned away.
Huaiyu was stunned, and suddenly shouted again: "Wait!"
Zhou Qian turned his head: "?"
"Remember to return the backpack to me." She said cautiously, because the two backpacks were used as storage boxes and only this one was currently in use.
Zhou Qian suddenly laughed out loud, "Okay, I'll return it later."
After the person left, Huaiyu looked at his back and suddenly asked the sentry next to him:
"Is it really that dangerous?"
"Yes." The sentry nodded. "We go into the wasteland four times a year, and the casualties exceed 30%... Each time, the high-level ones go first..."
A smile suddenly broke out on his dark and simple face: "Young girl, don't worry so much. This is a common thing. We have experience. What's more, the benefits are so good. How many people want to come in but can't."
Huaiyu was silent for a moment.
My mind was silent too.
At that moment, countless thoughts were jumbled together like a tangled ball of threads, and her heart felt a little painful, as if her sea urchin had pierced her heart.
She opened her mouth to say something, thought for a moment, and then closed it again.
In the end, he just said "hmm" and waited quietly by the side.
Sure enough, the backpack was sent out again soon, but this time it was not sent by Zhou Qian, but by another defensive force.
Huaiyu took it, and the high spirits he had when he came disappeared.
…
However, the defense forces have their duties, and she also has her life.
So following the road he remembered and carrying an empty backpack, Huaiyu once again came to Jinyuan Community.
It’s only been a few days since I last saw you, but I feel like Jinyuan Community is even more lively now.
The fountain square at the entrance extends from both sides of the road to both sides of the fountain, and is densely packed with stalls. If she comes here again with things on her back today, she may not be able to squeeze into a good position.
However, setting up stalls like this is more intuitive than a trading market.
And most importantly, it’s very close to home, only 15 minutes away by bike, so I don’t have to worry too much about transportation.
She was pushing her bicycle and was about to go in to take a look when she suddenly saw an old lady waving at her at the door.
Huaiyu: “??? Me?”
"Yes, it's you, little girl! We have to separate people and vehicles in our trading market, so let's be more conscious! Park your bicycle here! You can park three times in one minute, with no time limit. I'll register your vehicle number for you."
Huaiyu: ??? Separate the traffic between people and vehicles?! My bicycle is here!
The old lady was a little impatient: "A bicycle is not a car? Look at this, aren't these all bicycles?"
"It's nothing special to have a bicycle. Don't other people park there just like me?"
Huaiyu looked and saw that there were indeed seven or eight cars parked on the side.
“…”
Okay.
I saved the bus fare, but I didn't expect to have to pay for parking, ε=(ο｀*))) Alas.
It feels like everyone’s life is getting better and there are more ways to make money.
The car stopped and the aunt handed over a pretty bracelet: "Take it."
Huaiyu: ???
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She stared at the beautiful and enchanting green and purple jade bracelet, and at this moment she really wondered if she was living alone in the countryside.
No matter how I look at it, it seems like I am out of touch with the news and behind the times. "The code is engraved inside. Just check it when you come back."
Seeing Huaiyu still staring at the bracelet, the auntie put her hands on her hips and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong with the acid-washed jadeite bracelet I used to sell B+C? Didn't I use it as an anti-counterfeit parking card for free?"
In fact, after the disaster, even rubber bands and cardboard could be sold, but this acid wash bracelet could not be sold, so they had to engrave numbers on it to prevent counterfeiting.
But, the aunt is justified!
"I tell you, back then, no one in this area could make a bracelet as natural and beautiful as ours! Now you can't even find a brand with the same color!"
Huaiyu: ...
She silently put on her only jewelry [Limited Time Edition], feeling very uncomfortable.
…
The difference between Jinyuan Community and Hongsheng Trading Market is probably like going to a market and strolling along a pedestrian street in the city.
Especially when you look at the stalls one by one, the feeling of going to the market is even stronger.
She now has less than 1,000 points left, and she might lose them all if she visits a few stores in the Hongsheng Trading Market.
But here, looking at those wooden spoons and chopsticks, and the wooden basins tied with wire,...
Suddenly I feel so rich!
After visiting three or five stalls, she spent another three cents to buy an ugly straw hat.
The weaving craftsmanship of this straw hat is average, and the straw used is not very particular.
Huai Yu looked at it and felt that it looked like a mixture of willow branches and the long thatch they used to start a fire, and it was a little prickly to the touch.
But...it’s too cheap!
Now it’s just right to have a sun hat like this when working in the fields!
I also saw an axe, which was a regular size. The axe was old, and the man selling it was grunting as he nailed a wooden wedge into it to secure it.
Huaiyu watched silently for a while and found that someone started bargaining immediately, so he bought one for 25 cents.
She was instantly attracted! After all, although the multifunctional shovel can do everything and is convenient to carry up the mountain, it is inevitably a bit inconvenient to use it at home.
And the axe is indispensable for chopping trees and splitting firewood, especially as her supply of dry firewood is dwindling.
Huaiyu did not hesitate and followed the others and bought one at the price agreed upon.
Then she looked around and asked, "Is there anyone selling fish fry here?"
Update one.
