Chapter 4

Letter, I'll pick it up."

Li Xiaoxiao is not good at dealing with such enthusiastic people, the other party has no malice, and the price she offers is suitable, and the price is the same for everyone, so she agrees: "Okay, I want to replace the six catties of sweet potato noodles with six bags per catty."

"No problem, no problem," the girl with glasses was obviously happier, she didn't bother to ask someone to change it for her, and finally sent her out all the way, "See you next time."

Li Xiaoxiao picked up a large bag of sweet potato noodles, which weighed fifty catties, and pretended to put it in a rattan frame, but actually put it in a backpack, and then pushed the cart around the crowd, taking advantage of the chaos to take the remaining two bags of the same bag.Put it in the backpack, leaving only six bags of one catty in the cart, and press the rattan frame on it.

Unexpectedly, there was another surprise. The system reminded her to complete the achievement of '100 units of staple food' and received fifteen diamonds, enough to buy the blueprint of the troublemaker, which made her heave a sigh of relief.

After Li Xiaoxiao freed her hands, she was also in the mood to visit the market, and went straight to the roasted cardinal stall. The stall owner hadn't left yet. After a few hours, there were still a lot of roasted cardinals left, even if the stall owner chopped the cardinals into quartersOnce it is sold, few people give up their staple food for a bite of meat. After all, a roast sparrow can be at most one or two halves, but they need three taels of sweet potato noodles.

But the fragrance is really fragrant, and there are many people around, most of them are idle children, drooling with their fingers in their mouths.

Li Xiaoxiao squeezed in. She was going to buy one, but she didn't expect the potatoes to be so competitive, so she extravagantly said, "Four roasted cardinals, can you sell a catty of sweet potato noodles?"

The stall owner cheered up when he met a big customer: "Sell, of course!"

He has been here for so long, and only sold four of them in total. He quickly took out the bag woven with fine rattan: "Which four?"

Li Xiaoxiao swept across the roasted cardinals on the iron rack. They were cut and flattened from the middle, with their wings raised and their thighs puffed out.The oily oil dripped into the red charcoal, and there was a chirping sound instantly, and a burst of white smoke exploded, overflowing with fragrance.

The group of children swallowed desperately, Li Xiaoxiao also licked her mouth, pointed to the four that she thought were bigger, and the stall owner quickly wrapped them up, and she took out a bag of sweet potato noodles from the cart.

This was distributed by Xingfu, with uniform specifications. After the stall owner took it, he weighed it again with a scale, and then opened the package to check whether there were any adulterants in the sweet potato flour.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't mind either, and opened the rattan bag to eat.

The first thing you feel when you put a roasted cardinal in your mouth is the aroma. It is so fragrant. The roasted meat is so overbearing, especially now that the cardinal is very fat., it tastes not bad at all, and the cardinals that fly all day are firm and chewy. She gnawed on one and couldn't help touching the second one.

The group of children stared blankly at her with their mouths open. They couldn't bear the hunger at first, and then saw that the elder sister was eating so much oil that she was not satisfied after eating one, and wanted to eat the second one, so she burst into tears.

Li Xiaoxiao ate the four roasted linnets, and licked the corners of her mouth.

To be honest, the taste is definitely not comparable to the one with various seasonings added before the disaster, but it is enough for a person like her who has not eaten meat for a long time and is greedy for meat, but the portion is too small, four plus one is enoughI can't eat enough, so I still have to raise livestock by myself, and I can eat as much as I want.

Li Xiaoxiao ate the meat, and after satisfying her wish a little, she found the seeds.

The Xingfu stalls only sell staple foods, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, and there are no vegetables and fruits. She guesses that she wants to leave some way for the people below to earn food, because the things at the private stalls are a little more expensive than the official ones.

She searched around and bought carrot, cabbage and onion seeds. The price of the rest was inappropriate and expensive, so she didn't sell it. After a while, when the supplies became more abundant, the price of seeds would definitely come down.Come buy again.

He didn't see any poultry like chickens and ducks.

Li Xiaoxiao stared at the slanting sun, feeling that it was too late to search for furniture in the abandoned urban area, and she earned so much sweet potato noodles today, which was seen by many people, so she didn't dare to take risks in remote places, so she just bought sweet potato noodles directly.

Compared with the preciousness of food, those hundreds of thousands of clothes and shoes in the past are the same as no money. Two taels of sweet potato noodles can buy a large bag, which is enough for her to wear it for a week without repeating the same.The net is very cheap. With this, she can open the window, so it doesn't need to be so hot.

The best thing is that she also bought a wind-up watch, so she won't be afraid to miss the refresh in the mall in the future.

Since the backpack was full, she didn’t buy the furniture she was not in a hurry to use. In the end, she bought a set of bamboo mats and bamboo pillowcases. When she went to find Brother Bing, she also found someone selling saponin powder, and waited for the customer in front to buy itThree or two, and she wrapped the rest directly, and the stall owner was so happy from ear to ear.

Saponin can be used to wash clothes and hair. She exercises a lot and sweats a lot, so she needs it.

Li Xiaoxiao came to the west gate and found Brother Bing there, but did not see the car. The latter saw her and was embarrassed to explain, "Suddenly there is a mission, we have to stay for one more day, and we will leave at noon tomorrow. You can go to the gymnasium to wait."One night, it's guarded and free."

Staying one more night would easily cause troubles, especially if she thought she would leave today, she would be a little ostentatious in doing things, and spend a lot of money on sweet potato noodles.

But Brother Bing is because of the mission, she fully understands, asked about the location of the gymnasium, she wanted to go there early before it was dark, so as not to be in danger.

It’s just that no matter how well people think, they can’t prevent accidents. The road leading to the gymnasium was blocked. heard that there was an extremely dangerous mutant beast, and the ground was plowed. She waited and waited. It was getting darker and darker.I can turn to another small road, although there are people walking in it, but it is narrow and dark, and there are many forks.

In addition, there was a person sitting next to the entry point of the small road, with his head down and motionless. For some reason, she hesitated and decided to take a detour. Even in the dark, she felt much safer than here.

As a result, when she turned around, she found a group of people behind her, all men, looking at her with aggressive eyes.

Li Xiaoxiao grabbed the handle of the cart.

Chapter 6

The group of strange men patted the wooden sticks in their hands, and shouted and cursed: "Fuck, I can't eat enough, but you have meat, are you ashamed?"

"No matter what kind of meat women eat, men can't eat it. It's your turn to eat it."

"Brother Wang, I think she took the sweet potato noodles out of the cart, let's hurry up and eat the roasted cardinal."

"Hahaha, I still want to buy a fish. I passed by the North District today and saw that it was very fat."

"Then get another pot of wine, how can you not drink if you have fish?"

Li Xiaoxiao listened to these people talking briskly about how to spend her sweet potato noodles, so she pursed her lips tightly.

Why is she ashamed to eat roast sparrows? She grows these potatoes one by one. In order to obtain materials for building farmland, she was bitten layer by layer by mosquitoes, and new ones were bitten on top of the buns before they were healed., the current mosquito poisonousness makes her itchy enough to scratch her heart and lungs, making people want to scratch that piece of skin, and her shoes don't fit her feet well.She never stopped.

This group of scumbags do nothing but rob and get something for nothing, and have the face to accuse her?

Li Xiaoxiao was furious, but she knew that there was nothing she could do with the rubbish. She couldn't protect her sweet potato noodles, and she had to be careful not to become the target of the rubbish.

She suddenly pushed the cart towards the person, and turned around and ran into the alley regardless of whether she hit the person or not.

"Fuck, that girl ran away—"

"Hurry up!"

This group of people really didn't even want to let her go, Li Xiaoxiao speeded up, and when passing by the person half lying on the ground, she smelled a strong smell of blood.

This person is injured?

A thought flashed through her mind, and soon her mind was occupied by her own bad situation. She didn't know this place, and she didn't know if she could get rid of the people behind her.

Just when Li Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and was about to run into the depths, there were a few muffled grunts from behind, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. She turned her head and saw that the lying man had stood up and beat the person who was chasing her.fainted.

Solve five people in an instant?

"never mind."

Li Xiaoxiao took a step back.

The man saw her defense, didn't come any closer, slid and sat down along the wall, "Let's go."

Li Xiaoxiao hesitated, but decided to walk in front of the man. She smelled a much stronger smell of blood than before. When she reached the alley, she turned her head, and the man was still leaning against the wall half dead, and the hand covering his stomach was covered with blood.

Did he just help her cause the wound to tear?

Li Xiaoxiao strode back, passed the other's arm and pulled him up. The man was too heavy. Even though she was strong, she still felt struggling, and she couldn't help complaining: "You also work hard, don't put it all on me."

"doing what?"

Although the man was asking back, Li Xiaoxiao felt that the other party stood up, and the pressure dropped suddenly, "Of course I will go to the medical center, and I will pay for it."

The other party saved her, and she couldn't just watch him die.

Originally, she thought that with such a powerful man, the injuries should be troublesome. The abilities of mutant creatures are mostly weird, and the wounds caused by them are difficult to cure. The result is ordinary wounds stabbed with knives.It'll be fine, sutures and medicine won't help her much sweet potato noodles.

Li Xiaoxiao was a little speechless, then why is he lying in the alley, looking like he is waiting to die? Isn't there no problem at all? She glanced at the man, with cool black hair, dark golden pupils, deep facial features, and a strange appearanceLooks good, she took a few more glances.

"Where are you going next..."

The man raised his head, but there was nothing in his empty eyes.

Li Xiaoxiao knew that he had nowhere to go, and a thought popped up: "You, do you want to come with me?"

The man opened his eyes unexpectedly.

Li Xiaoxiao said seriously: "I run a farm in the suburbs, and the environment is relatively dangerous. If you have nowhere to go, why don't you come and protect me, with food and shelter included."

She spoke more and more fluently. She was afraid of the danger just now, and found that she was naive before and had no ability to deal with the danger. An accident would become someone else's fish. The feeling of being involuntary was too bad. SheDon't want to go through it again.

And this man is willing to help her in times of crisis, rather than join the group of robbers to plunder her. At least he has a good heart and ability, and he has nowhere to go. It is just right to come and work for her. Of course, she will have to test it next., Will he be greedy for the farm?

The man raised his head and looked at her carefully: "Chen Mo."

She knew that this person agreed: "Li Xiaoxiao."

After the doctor finished the last stitch, Li Xiaoxiao waved: "Let's go, stay one more night, we will go back to the farm tomorrow."

Are we... Chen Mo nodded, took the initiative to take the rattan bag on his back, and quietly followed Li Xiaoxiao, the wound seemed to have no effect on him.

She went back to the market first, bought some clothes and daily necessities for her new bodyguard, and finally carried a folding bed. Chen Mo had plenty of strength and was not afraid that he would not be able to carry it. She bought it just now because the backpackMange bought back the coal stove that he couldn't afford to give up.

Next time you come to the city, you must not forget to organize your backpack.

The two of them came to the gymnasium. There were a lot of people here, and everyone was laying on the floor. Li Xiaoxiao was full of people at a glance, and there was no place to set foot. Did Chen Mo find an open space, or did he get a VIP seat against the wall?did it.

Chen Mo let her sleep inside, and he separated the others outside.

"I'll keep watch in the second half of the night." Li Xiaoxiao took off her shoes, her squeezed toes instantly relaxed, and she closed her eyes, "Just wake me up."

Chen Mo swept the blood on her big toe.

The condition of the gymnasium is poor, but Li Xiaoxiao is used to it. As soon as she sleeps until the next morning, someone will come over as soon as she moves, "Drink water."

Looking at the water glass in front of her, she felt more and more that Chen Mo was miraculous. Drinking warm water can relieve the thirst of the body. She glanced at the mall in a daze, and she was sure that there was nothing worth exchanging. She was completely awake. She looked atThe bruises in Chen Mo's eyes were annoyed: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

This man is still injured.

Chen Mo has already packed his things, and he can leave when he gets up: "It's okay, I'm used to it, I'll carry you on my back."

After the disaster, no one can be relied on, and she can only rely on herself. Li Xiaoxiao has to worry about things by herself. She lives like a weed, and suddenly she is taken care of by others.At a loss, she lay on Chen Mo's back in a daze, and was carried outside by him.

Why are you carrying her on your back all of a sudden?

But she didn't have to walk by herself, the wound on her foot would not be touched, so it didn't hurt anymore, so she continued to let Chen Mo carry it on her back.

After leaving the gymnasium, Li Xiaoxiao realized what she should say, but now it was over, and it was strange to say thank you again, but in the end she didn't say anything, feeling glad that she let Chen Mo and herself go away yesterday.

Li Xiaoxiao led people to the market, and found that someone was selling grilled fish, the radiation value was not high, it was seventy-eight.

A steady stream of grilled fish smelled, of course she wanted to buy it, and the image of being blocked by scum yesterday flashed in her mind, trying to get Chen Mo to pass by, when a calm voice came from the front.

"are you buying?"

Li Xiaoxiao raised her head, Chen Mo's dark golden pupils stared at her, she suddenly had a feeling that no matter what the situation, this person would protect her.

In fact, those scumbags are nothing.

"Buy, of course." Li Xiaoxiao said briskly, bought two and gave one to Chen Mo.

The hard shell baked on the outside of the fish is delicious, crispy and fragrant. Because of the lack of seasoning inside, there is no other taste. Only the umami of the fish itself is very fresh and tender. The thorns have been removed, and you can eat it in one bite.It is full of meat, articulate and fragrant, which is very satisfying.

Li Xiaoxiao wanted to build a fish pond.

It feels very comfortable to feed the stomach with warm food. When she saw the bananas, she thought of the bunches she had not eaten in exchange for the farm information, so she bought a mention and shared half of it with Chen Mo.

The bananas after the disaster were not like those before the disaster. They were picked when they were still green, and they were already ripe. They tasted sweet and soft, with a strong banana taste. They were especially delicious. She began to want to build an orchard again.

It's a pity that there are many food sellers in the market, but few seeds.

After having a last meal at the market at noon, she led Chen Mo to the meeting point at the door. Brother Bing was already waiting. Although he was a little curious when he saw Chen Mo, he didn't ask.

After everyone arrived, the pickup truck started to drive to the suburbs.

Finally home, Li Xiaoxiao felt relieved. When passing by the mutated banyan tree, she found that the ground was scorched black, as if it had been burned. No wonder Brother Bing wanted to cut down the tree. It turned out to be a fire barrier.

There are too many mosquitoes and flies in the summer, and you can be bitten while driving. The brother next to him is covered in bags all over his body, and the back of his hand is scratched.

Because there was nothing to do, Brother Bing simply sent them to the farm. Her farm was the closest to the city and the first one to arrive. Before getting off the car, she casually said, "I still have some tomatoes, do you want to change them?"

Brother Bing wiped off his sweat, thinking of the sweet and sour taste, he said decisively: "Change!"

Li Xiaoxiao got a satisfactory answer, and led Chen Mo home, focusing on observing the other's expression when passing the farmland.

The potato field was not watered for a day, so the seedlings were a little sloppy, but the overall growth was very vigorous, and a potato could be seen pushing the soil with the naked eye.

She was sure that Chen Mo saw it. The other party stared at Tudou for a second, then moved his eyes away, as if he didn't see it, and behaved as usual, she let go of her heart.

When letting Chen Mo go with her, Li Xiaoxiao thought about what to do with the system.

She couldn't hide it, and she never thought about keeping it a secret. As long as she wanted to live a good life, people would find out that something was wrong, and she came to the farm alone, but she didn't want to be disturbed in the early stage.

Li Xiaoxiao has already figured out what to say. There are supernatural beings in human beings, but they are very rare. She intends to pretend to be supernatural beings and pretend that the farm is her ability.Break up with people, no, then they will live a good life together.

Fortunately, her vision was not wrong.

Sweating all over on a hot day, Li Xiaoxiao used a basin to fetch water from her backpack and splashed cold water on her face, only to feel that she survived. She used the wash water to water it, and took another basin to let Chen Mo wash it too.

In the afternoon, no one can be treated in the container, it is too hot, they hide in the shade of a tree to have a rest, soon Chen Mo dies
