Chapter 183
Chapter 183
Even with Yang Yue's "furniture" brought in, this tin house is still so crude that it can barely accommodate people. The ground is just compacted earth, without a floor, and without a bed. There is only a thin piece of rag on the floor, barely enough for people to sleep in. The place.
The whole iron house can be seen clearly at a glance, and the chair with a lame leg can't sit still. Chen Shu has to focus on maintaining his balance while sitting on the chair, but Yang Yue, who is not in good health, can find a strange angle to let himself Sit on it securely.
There was no water, let alone anything to entertain guests. The woman rubbed her hands after watching them sit down, squatted on the ground, and looked up at Yang Yue.
She didn't dare to look at Chen Shu, and whispered: "Everything is here, if you want to go, you can take it."
Yang Yue glanced at Chen Shu and replied, "For the time being, I'll leave it with you for the time being."
The woman became happy, and she quickly asked, "Aren't you coming back? It's good if you don't come back!"
Her eyes flickered, and there was a bit of cunning in the numbness: "Did you find a job in there? What do you think of me? If I, if I can go in, don't worry, I will listen to you of……"
Yang Yue shook her head and said, "I didn't come to tell you this."
The woman let out an "oh" in disappointment, but it was just disappointment. Anyway, she was used to the failure of hopes, so she didn't think it was possible when she asked.
"Do you know there's a supermarket over there?" When Yang Yue asked, Chen Shu, whose buttocks were already numb, couldn't sit any longer. She stood up, and once she stood up, the iron house seemed even more cramped.
The woman looked at Chen Shu in horror, and Chen Shu waved his hands: "Go on, don't worry about me."
Yang Yue drew the woman's attention back: "There are a lot of things sold in the supermarket, before there are not many people going there, you'd better go for something to eat first."
The woman finally realized what Yang Yue was here for. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "I have nothing to exchange. If I go, I will definitely be kicked out."
While speaking, the woman subconsciously looked at the wooden frame in the corner covered by several layers of rags.
There lay all her property.
"Potatoes, right?" Yang Yue smiled, "You still like to put them there."
The woman didn't panic this time. The tin house is so big that there is no way to hide anything. Anyone who is interested can find it at a glance.
Woman: "I've had enough potatoes for a long time."
She was afraid that she would starve to death if she took it out and traded it for something else.
Even if you don't starve to death, it's too bad.
She doesn't pay much attention to the taste and taste, as long as it can be eaten into the stomach, it is good.
Yang Yue: "Let's go, I'll accompany you there."
The woman looked at Yang Yue vigilantly, and because Chen Shu was present, she didn't dare to say anything harsh, so she could only smile and say nice words: "You are different now, you must not be short of food, look at me, I am still like this , no one knows when I will be like you, I don't have such good luck, no one will save me."
"One more potato, I can live a few more days." The woman smiled awkwardly, revealing her teeth with wide gaps and different sizes.
People in the slums have no place to fill their teeth. If they are broken, they will disappear. They have no money to brush their teeth, and their teeth are not very good.
Yang Yue was not angry, she knew that the woman was not mocking her, but was just describing a reality.
People living in slums know that they will die one day, but they also know that there is a high probability that they will not die naturally.
The biggest possibility is that they died of the "guests"'s habit, disease, and hunger. They accepted this cruel future, but they still tried their best to survive until the last moment.
Since she couldn't persuade her, Yang Yue didn't try to persuade her. She said to Chen Shu, "Chen, sister Chen."
Chen Shu understood what Yang Yue meant, she walked to the corner, lifted the rag, and picked up the potato box with one hand.
The woman with a smile on her face went crazy when she saw Chen Shu lift the rag. She screamed and rushed towards Chen Shu regardless of the huge difference in body size and physical strength between herself and Chen Shu.
"Put it down!" The woman screamed, most of her body was hanging on Chen Shu's body, trying to bite with her teeth and scratch with her nails, trying to make Chen Shu put down the wooden frame with all the things on her body that could attack others.
But in Chen Shu's eyes, all her attacks were almost like tickling, especially since Chen Shu was still wearing adjustment clothes, so she didn't feel anything at all.
She is not very good at tearing women off her body. After all, with such a small body, she is afraid that if she is stronger, she will crush the other party's bones, so she can only hang this and watch the wind blow. The pendant that can be blown down goes to the door of the tin house.
Yang Yue stood up with a cane, and with the help of the cane, she could walk steadily for a while even without handrails.
The woman didn't hang on Chen Shu for long, and within 5 minutes, she slipped and fell to the ground due to loss of strength.
She trembled and covered her face in fear. She didn't look at anyone, but her tone was very serious: "I'll give you back everything you have! I'll give you the potatoes too, and you keep five for me, no, three , believe it or not?"
The woman climbed to Yang Yue's feet, she raised her head to look at Yang Yue's face, and begged in a stern voice: "You don't live here anymore, you won't starve to death, you can live a good life, why did you come back to harm me? I have never harmed you! I have never harmed you!"
Yang Yue, who once faced everything numbly and was unmoved by someone dying in front of her, looked down at the woman.
Suddenly she couldn't bear the extravagance, and she said softly: "It's really exchanged for things, and I can definitely get more food."
She suppressed the pain and squatted down, reaching out and grabbing the woman's wrist.
"I have no reason to hurt you, do I? You're already like this, it's not that hard to try to trust me, is it?"
The woman showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not crying: "Yang Yue..."
Before she could speak, a strong hand grabbed her arm, and she was lifted up unsteadily.
"You go with us." Chen Shu finally lost his patience, when will it be so slow?
Chen Shu: "Don't worry, if what you get in exchange is not as big as this box of potatoes, I will return the potatoes to you, and I will give you those things too."
The woman was stiff all over, her courage to struggle and resist had been exhausted, and her fear of the powerful crowd once again gained the upper hand. She lowered her head and chest in trembling, and was "caught" by Chen Shu just like that.
Yang Yue also left the tin house with a cane.
When she left, she carefully helped the woman close the wooden door - even though the wooden door would still open with a push.
On the way to the supermarket, the woman tried to escape several times. She almost desperately thought that she didn't want the potatoes anymore, and she just wanted to live for a few more days.
But she didn't find a chance to escape, nor did she have the courage to escape.
She was pulled by Chen Shu, but she didn't dare to hate Chen Shu, she just turned her head and stared at Yang Yue with resentful eyes.
But Yang Yue didn't care at all.
She knew what the woman was thinking, because she came here like this, and she knew in her heart that no matter how she told Yang Yue or persuaded her, as long as she didn't see it with her own eyes, Yang Yue would never believe it.
People here no longer have the ability to imagine the future, they can only see what is in front of them.
So the upper class say they are stupid.
Yang Yue walked slowly.
How can a person who doesn't even know where he is for a meal be smart?
After eating so much food for so long, she barely felt her brain clear up.
The woman was "hijacked" to the entrance of the supermarket. When she stepped on the first step, she almost felt that she was going to die. Unspeakable fear captured her whole body and mind. Her chest was in pain, and her ears were full of deafening heartbeats. .
Such a place is not affordable for a person like her, and it is not her turn to enjoy the blessings if other people want to be good people and do good deeds.
The people in the slums have been exploited to the point of leaving only a layer of skin. Can't even this layer of skin be left to them?
The woman was already numb when she stepped on the second step, and she completely gave up struggling and thinking.
No matter what is waiting for her in front of her, she has no ability to escape, so so be it, just follow the person who is pulling her, and let her take and throw herself wherever she wants.
It doesn't matter whether it's the garbage ditch that runs through the slums or the yellow sand outside.
The woman "floated" into the supermarket. She felt that her soul had gone out of her body, floating in the sky and watching her body move.
"He's finally here!" Cao'er greeted him excitedly.
As a result, when he came out, he found that it was not someone else, but Chen Shu.
"Why is it you?" Cao'er was disappointed again, she sighed and said, "Sister Chen, there is still no business, if this continues, I don't know how to tell the immortal."
It was hard for her to be responsible, but there was no progress. Even if the immortal didn't train her, she wanted to find a hole to bury herself in.
"Who said no?" Chen Shu stepped aside, and only then did the woman blocked by her appear in front of Cao'er.
Cao'er's eyes widened in surprise, she hurried forward a few steps, and was afraid that the woman would be afraid, so she looked around and saw the taro ball milk tea that was just made and hadn't had time to drink on the small table next to her. .
"Drink it first!" Cao'er quickly brought the milk tea, stuffed it into the woman's hand without any explanation, and then led the woman to sit on the long leather sofa in the waiting area.
It wasn't until the first sip of milk tea entered her mouth that the woman's soul finally returned to her body.
She suddenly realized something, and glanced at the enthusiastic Cao'er like a monster. After struggling for half a second, she immediately lifted the lid of the milk tea, threw away the straw, and poured the milk tea and the taro balls into her own cup. mouth.
The woman tasted the sweetness, but she didn't taste it carefully. She only knew that this cup of "milk" was very sweet and there was something edible.
If it is taken out, she will definitely not be able to protect it. If it is a decapitated meal, then at least let the decapitated meal enter her stomach.
The woman was choked, but she covered her mouth with her hand when she was about to cough, lest a drop of milk would be sprayed out by herself.
Forcibly suppressing the urge to cough, she coughed quietly for a while before calming down.
"Don't be in such a hurry, just sit down first, and I'll see how much your potatoes can be exchanged for." Cao'er smiled at the woman.
After she finished speaking, she stood up and went to the cash register to sweep the potatoes.
A potato, no matter the size, is worth two hundred.
It may be that the foundation is not distributed by the catty, but by the unit, so the size is not important.
After two verifications, Cao'er took out a stack of "notes" from the cabinet next to her.
Rather than banknotes, it is better to say vouchers. Ye Zhou bought special machines and raw materials to make them. No one here can forge and copy them.
It is easy to carry and hide. This is also considering that once people in the slums find that their worthless things suddenly become valuable, they will steal from others.
Anyway, vouchers are easier to hide than potatoes.
Now Cao'er can understand his intentions without the fairy's explanation. She thinks she is a little smarter. Is this near Zhu Zhechi?
She counted the money with a smile, then walked up to the woman who was carefully looking at her surroundings, and handed the pen and paper to the woman: "Your potatoes are worth the money."
"Do you know Arabic numerals?" Cao'er asked.
In order to prevent the people here from being illiterate, different colors are used for the vouchers of different prices. Even people who are illiterate can distinguish them, but they need to explain and deepen their memory.
The woman timidly replied, "Yes."
Cao'er smiled: "Take it."
The woman subconsciously raised her hand to take the voucher in Cao'er's hand.
Cao'er continued: "You are the first customer, come, I will accompany you to have a look."
After finishing speaking, Cao'er stood aside and waited for the woman to stand up. The woman looked at Yang Yue who was sitting next to her. She was a little uncertain. Just now she resented Yang Yue for harming her, but now, the only person she knows here is It was Yang Yue, so he inevitably wanted to rely on her.
Yang Yue noticed the woman's gaze, and also saw what she meant. Yang Yue stood up with the crutches again, and she said to the woman, "I'll accompany you too."
This is also Yang Yue's first visit to the supermarket.
She was curious herself.
It may be because she lives under the same roof as Cao'er and Chen Shu, she now feels that she and Cao'er and the others are in the same group. A sense of responsibility.
The woman walks in the middle, and the supermarket is not there. There are only three rows of shelves in the middle, but besides the waiting area, there are shelves on the three walls.
The most sold here is food, and daily necessities are much less than food.
"The prices are marked below." Cao'er pointed to the index price, "You can just buy as you see."
"It's just that supermarkets don't sell produce right now."
Nowadays, corn and potatoes are not sold in supermarkets. They sell processed foods, such as bread sandwiches, instant rice, and self-heating products, which can be heated and eaten without water.
Because it is not easy to light a fire for cooking in the slums, they do not sell noodles, which are mainly cooked.
As for those who are able to light a fire and cook for themselves - it's not within Ye Zhou's consideration.
If you really want to make money, you can just make money from Zhao Qing and those leaders of the forces. Even if there is no Zhao Qing, it is enough that the boss of the base is willing to do business with him.
The woman is like a mouse that has broken into the granary. After seeing the wide variety of food, her worries and fears are immediately left behind. After seeing the price, she frantically stuffs the food into her arms. Go buy her a plastic shopping basket so she doesn't drop it while taking it.
Even Yang Yue couldn't walk, her eyes slowly turned red when she looked at the things on the shelves.
But after eating so much food for so long, she was finally able to restrain her urge to sweep like a woman.
Cao'er is fairly familiar with Yang Yue, she smiled and said to Yang Yue, "I used to be like this too."
This was the first time Yang Yue heard Cao'er mentioned before.
She asked cautiously, "You used to?"
Cao'er nodded, she thought about the past, now that she thought about it, those sufferings were no longer clear, the only thing that was clear was when she was saved, at that time it was much harder for immortals to approach than it seems now.
I don't know when it started, the fairy started to smile at them, and would talk to them gently and explain to them.
Cao'er didn't quite understand, but this didn't stop her from admiring the immortals. She said, "But I didn't suffer as much as you did. At that time, I was just about to starve to death. I had my mother...my mother protected me, so it's okay."
At least she didn't become a wandering warbler, she had thought about it before, but she and her mother saw a stray warbler begging the man who got up from her to give her food as promised, and was stoned to death by a man , I never dared to raise this thought again.
Yang Yue didn't think so, she said, "It's better for you to be miserable."
In her opinion, pain is never as painful as the pain of starvation. When she was the hungriest, she wished she could cut off her own flesh and eat it.
The two are "comparing miserably" here, while the woman is constantly shuttling around.
The lost strength came back to her, and I don't know if it was because of the cup of milk tea or something produced by seeing the food.
By the time she stopped, eight shopping baskets had been filled.
"...Are you sure you bought this much?" Cao'er tried to persuade her when she checked out, "So many things, where do you take them back and put them? If someone sees them, there will always be people with ulterior motives who want to snatch them."
The woman seemed to be the same when she thought about it. She looked at the baskets of food, and everything seemed to be her favorite thing, and it hurt her to give up any one, so it was Cao'er who continued to give her advice: "You should buy less perishable things. You can buy sandwiches and hamburgers for two days, and you can buy more biscuits for storage.”
In the end, there were only two baskets.
Chen Shu said from the side: "I'll take it back for you, Cao'er, you get her the black bag."
They want the people in the slums to see that there are indigenous people who can get out of the supermarket alive and not be driven out, but this does not mean that women can be allowed to face danger.
With Chen Shu personally sending her back, no matter how thoughtless the people in the slums are, they all know that they can't afford to provoke women for the time being.
And this woman is not stupid, with Chen Shu as the raft, she doesn't need to tell her. She also knows that if she wants to keep these things, she has to act like a tiger.
The woman stepped on the familiar ground of the slum, but this time, her trance was not because of poverty, but because of joy. When she was sent to the iron house, the woman came back to her senses.
She looked at Chen Shu, and finally summoned up the courage to say, "Thank you."
Chen Shu waved his hand indifferently: "Be careful of yourself, if someone provokes you, you know what to do."
The woman nodded, and she had something to say when she saw Chen Shu helping Yang Yue to the wheelchair.
Until they left, the woman was still standing at the door, unable to recover for a long time.
I don't know how long it took before the woman walked into her iron house. She seemed to have just woken up from a strange dream. After returning to the house, she sat on a chair in a daze.
Everything just now made it difficult for her to understand.
When she was in the supermarket, fear and excitement covered everything up, and now that she had calmed down, she finally began to think inevitably.
Can a piece of potato be worth two hundred?
But so many are only more than 200.
A potato can be exchanged for so many things?
The woman walked to the plastic bag, and the moment she opened it, she stood up again, pressed the table against the wooden door, and then walked to the plastic bag again.
She poured out all the contents, and her breathing became much heavier.
She sat on the ground, violently tore open the package of the sandwich, and stuffed it fiercely into her mouth.
do not care!
Even if this is the last meal in her life, she is satisfied!
After stuffing a sandwich, the woman tore open the wrapping of the burger, pausing as she did so.
Now that Yang Yue is with that woman, will he be able to live a good life in the future?At least you don't have to stay in the slums and endure those disgusting "guests".
The woman's eyes were a little moist, and she was so jealous that she wanted to grind her teeth, but in that strong jealousy, she was glad that at least one person escaped.
At least one escaped.
·
"I can only eat one." Ye Zhou took the ice cream from Zou Ming's hand, and he coaxed, "Wait a little longer, when your body is fully recovered, you can eat whatever you want, at most, you will have diarrhea. "
The boy glanced at Ye Zhou, and he nodded.
Now the boy has flesh on his face, and he finally got rid of the "sharp-mouthed monkey cheek" state, and has a little shadow of an adult Zou Ming.
Ye Zhou was watched by him, he couldn't help pinching his cheek, and said with a smile, "Good boy."
The boy felt that he was treated as a baby by Ye Zhou, but he didn't hate it, instead he pursed his lips and smiled.
Ye Zhou: "When you are in good health, come and help me, and exercise with me when you have nothing to do."
Even though there was no one to supervise him, Ye Zhou still insisted on training. He knew that if he was lazy, his recovery would be difficult.
After finishing speaking, Ye Zhou went to watch Zou Ming's "homework". Now Zou Ming is learning to write. He is learning pinyin quickly, and he is already learning common characters. Before he finished matching, the door rang.
Ye Zhou went over to open the door, Cao'er at the door was out of breath, she put her hands on her knees, looked up at Ye Zhou, and said eagerly: "Immortal, immortal! Supermarket, supermarket..."
Ye Zhou let her in, and he went to get Cao'er a glass of water, and when he handed it over, he said, "Speak slowly, what's wrong with the supermarket?"
The boy also walked over. He stood beside Ye Zhou and subconsciously grabbed Ye Zhou's clothes.
Cao'er showed a bright smile to Ye Zhou: "Chao, the supermarket is open! Now it's full of people!"
Ye Zhou smiled. He was not surprised, so he was not very excited: "I have to work hard for you."
Cao'er quickly shook her head: "It's not hard work, it's hard work, working for a fairy, how can you say it's hard work?"
She glanced at Zou Ming, who looked at her expressionlessly.
Cao'er: "..."
I didn't expect Brother Zou to be so moody and angry when he was so young.
She still has to learn!
