The antibiotics produced by the shelter are really effective. One of them has not lasted long. The elder brother of the Yu family has not only recovered his fever, but even his leg injury has subsided. He can even come down to the ground and limp for two steps.
The two brothers of the Yu family thanked him very much and swore that they would repay this kindness in the future. But seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye to Chu Guang, and the younger brother helped his brother to the door.
When passing Fang Chang, Yu Hu stopped, took out a knife of fine workmanship, which was not produced in this era, and handed it to Fang Chang.
This is a good thing he picked up when he was picking up waste.
Then Yu Hu said in a thick voice different from his appearance.
"You are strong enough to avoid my arrows. But if you are one-on-one, I will not lose."
"Keep the knife for me. Don't lose it. Let's play fair next year. If I win, I will take it back."
Fang Chang didn't understand what he was saying, but he seemed to want to give himself the knife.
Is this thanking yourself for saving his relatives indirectly?
Fang Chang pointed to the knife and pointed to himself. Seeing the NPC nodding, he gladly took over.
"You're welcome!"
Yu Hu also didn't understand what he was saying, but when he saw that he had accepted the knife, he nodded and helped his brother away.
Watching the two men disappear behind the gate of the base outpost, Fang Chang played with his knife, suddenly looked at the wind nearby, and said with emotion.
"The game is too detailed. Look at the NPC's expression. Every frame is full of details. I will blow it out!"
Gusty Wind: "... Do you understand what he said?"
Fang Chang shook his head.
"No, it's not important."
Yeshi came up and said with a smile.
"If he is going to promise you a 300 jin Tigress from the tribe to be your wife, this knife is the token of engagement."
"Go away!"
……
He helped his brother out of the base.
Yu Hu looked back at the wall behind him and said.
"Brother, I said that he is not an ordinary person. At that time, I advised you and your father to marry Xiaoyu to him, but you didn't agree. Now I regret it."
Yu Xiong sighed with mixed feelings.
"I regret something. He is our benefactor. Don't think about unrealistic things... Besides, I didn't say no to Xiaoyu, nor did my father."
Yu Hu frowned.
"Why didn't you succeed?"
Yu Xiong reached out and rubbed his silly brother's head.
"You just want to be good. Have you ever thought about whether others would like it or not? Don't mention fish, look at the girls in the group next to him just now... Which of these girls who came out of the shelter is not pure, and will look at you like a bear?"
Hearing this, Yu Hu was worried.
"I'm a little bit of a bear, but my sister is not! I was so cute when I was young, but I grew up thin, but what's the matter? Let's coax her to eat more meat when we go back. I'll give her my share, and I'm sure I can keep it well."
Yu Xiong almost couldn't help laughing and glanced at him.
"You are so anxious to marry the little fish."
Yu Hu smiled, but his honest expression was very sober.
"Is that what I say? My younger sister will be old next year if she is married or not. According to the street rules, even if she is a single adult, she will be counted as an extra head. You see, this year's harvest is barely enough. How can we afford to pay another one next year?"
According to the regulations of Bate Street, every family who has reached the age of 16 will be counted as a single family. During the mobilization every autumn, no matter whether they are married or not, they will gather enough materials for each family.
It can also be regarded as a "poll tax" with different methods.
Boys are better. Generally, they can go hunting and picking up wasteland with their elders from the age of 13 or 14. In two or three years, they can become qualified scavengers or hunters, which can be regarded as a labor force. If it is a girl, it is more difficult in these troubled times. Few of them can make a living at this age, so they tend to get married early.
The reason why Xiaoyu has stayed at home so carefree up to now is that his father can still work, his sister-in-law has not yet had a child, and his second brother has not yet married. The three men can barely support this big family.
If you wait any longer, Yu Hu becomes a family, or Yu Xiong adds a new recruit, even if you don't want to, you can only marry the little fish.
Survival is often a heavy topic.
"... I want to get married anyway. It's better to find a good family for her, or live a hard life in our place."
Yu Xiong looked at the sky and squinted.
"The third son of the Wang family is also suitable for marriage, and their family is also good. It's just that his little daughter is about to grow up, and it's just right to make a marriage for you."
Yu Hu hurriedly shook his head.
"That's no good. I don't like Wang Defu. He pushed Xiaoyu last time! When I saw him, I must be a coward to beat women."
"The Li family..."
"Well, that's not appropriate. My mother came from the Li family."
There are only a hundred households in Beite Street. It's so annoying in a small place. I've come and gone.
Yu Xiong was unable to say anything but gave his brother a meaningful look.
"Then you should think about it. If she marries outside, your wife will have to beg for her."
"It's OK. Are you worried that I won't get a wife?"
Yu Hu laughed and muttered after a while.
"I just don't want you to worry about me all the time! It's my own business whether I'm good or not... I can't change my sister."
……
It's getting late at dusk.
The outgoing players returned to the outpost one after another.
As yesterday, many players set up stalls in the open space inside the north gate of the outpost, shouting and selling, and the voice of bargaining was heard all the time. It was like a bazaar.
"Raw meat is sold! Fresh squirrel meat, whether fried, roasted or boiled, is delicious! One silver coin and one can be chosen at any time, which is affordable!"
"The devil bought you! You are so special that this squirrel only has so much meat!"
"There is a lot of meat. A mutated squirrel needs 2 kg each! You can buy meat in the granary for only one silver coin. Think about it!"
"No money."
"Go away without money!"
“……”
"The teeth of the mutant hyenas! They can be used as ornaments! One of them only sells one copper coin, and there are only 10. If you want to buy them, please hurry!"
"Who uses this as an ornament? It's so ugly!"
"What do you know? In case of developing jewelry system after the game? Equipment punching, inlaying and enchanting, the price of this material will definitely rise!"
"The recumbent trough is really fake?"
"Really! Believe me!"
"Then... give me two."
"Okay, hey."
In addition to the players who sell hunting materials, they also sell rubbish picked up from waste soil.
Although it is 211 years since the era of waste earth, if you search carefully, you can still find some good things that haven't been taken away in time.
Especially in some locked doors and cabinets, or buried under the ruins.
Some alloy products with good antioxidant effect can be an excellent weapon if slightly modified. For example, Chu Guang saw that a fire axe with rust proof paint still on was marked with a price of 7 silver coins.
It is really worth the price.
But few people can afford it.
"Does anyone want gold? I found a gold chain here. I found it when I searched the row building! It only costs 3 silver coins. It can't be cheaper!"
"It's too expensive. How much food can you buy with three silver coins? What's the use of your gold chain? It can't be used as a weapon or money!"
"Give me one, damn it. I can't afford it in reality. I've had a good time in the game."
"... Alas, you are a black sheep! How can you become the first echelon in the future if you do not complete the original accumulation of capital now?"
"Brother, are you in a daze? This is a game!"
The hottest booth is still crows'.
Every time after she performs her unique skill of eating large mushrooms raw, she can draw applause from the players.
These players did not go whoring in vain, and the mushrooms in front of the stall were quickly snapped up.
Yesterday, it was 3 copper coins and 1 jin mushroom. Today, it has risen to 4 copper coins. There is still an endless stream of players coming to buy it.
In addition, she also made a bottle of crow crow secret jam with the berries she collected, which was priced at only one silver coin.
However, it is a pity that this jar of jam cannot be sold alive or dead.
The green color looks too uncomfortable.
Then there is Xia Yan's weapon store. Although no one can afford the weapons on the shelf that often cost hundreds of silver coins, this does not prevent everyone from visiting the landlady.
"Boss, can you say that you are Kelly from heaven? Just say, please!"
"The landlady is too cold and ignores us! It must be because we are too poor! Gan, is this a realistic game?"
"Did you find that she looked at the manager differently?"
"Does NPC already have CP? Knock it!"
"Why don't you knock a ghost? The handsome brother Shuguang is my husband. Nobody is allowed to rob Wuwuwu!"
"You are thinking of fart eating. How good are you? You have only moved bricks for a few days? Don't say hello!"
"What do you think NPCs will do after we go offline?"
"... when we go online?"
"Neurosis."
Coincidentally, people always coincide.
Although I can't understand what these players are saying, Xia Yan, who is expressionless, is thinking of this sentence at the moment.
"These neuroses..."
She murmured, glancing at the direction of the sanatorium and at Chu Guang.
I'm so hungry.
When can we avoid difficulties?
Do you have dessert tonight?
That chocolate is delicious
……
Perhaps it is because of 20 new people, the market today is more lively than yesterday.
Chu Guang, standing in front of the sanatorium, could not help imagining what a lively scene it would be when 100 players gathered here.
"Life is getting better." Thinking about it, Chu Guang's face showed an old father's smile.
He is happier than anyone else.
After all, this is a game for players, but it may be the next half of his life for him.
At this time, a slight chill suddenly touched his straight nose.
Chu Guang looked up and saw a small silver light falling down.
He reached out to touch the tip of his nose and wiped away the cold moisture. Chu Guang stared at his fingertips and murmured thoughtfully.
"... snow? Or hail?"
The temperature is not yet zero degrees.
To be exact, it should be between 10 and 15 degrees.
There are no cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, or even a thicker layer of clouds, and dusk is dimly visible in the horizon.
It is preliminarily speculated that the strong cold air passes through, contacts with the hot and humid updraft, and condenses at low altitude to form ice crystals... He is talking nonsense.
This is probably not snow or hail, but rather a unique climate on the waste soil.
However, this is not a good omen.
Chuguang sighed in his heart when he bounced off the water drops at his fingertips.
"... It seems that old Charlie is right."
"This winter will come earlier than usual."
Food.
Fuel.
There are also materials and weapons.
Alas!
It's bald when you think about it.
However, people's joys and sorrows are not interlinked.
In the distance, you can faintly hear the cheers of "heartless" players, and the chirping of joy.
It was a female player who had just joined the game. She was looking forward to the sky.
"It's snow!"
