4. Luck Is Also an Ability
"I may also have some kind of ability," Ren Xiaosu said.
Yan Liuyuan, who was sitting at the door of the shack and looking at the starry sky after the rain, was stunned for a moment: "You mean..."
"I'm not sure yet, I have to try it." Ren Xiaosu sat next to Yan Liuyuan: "There are rumors in the market town that some people can make a train go from nothingness to reality. I didn't believe it before, it was only after I met you. I believe it a little bit, and now I may also have strange abilities, which is a strange feeling."
Yan Liuyuan's ability is lucky.
This is a very inexplicable ability. When Yan Liuyuan made a wish that Ren Xiaosu could hit his prey, even if Ren Xiaosu walked in the wilderness and did nothing, a sparrow would fall in front of him inexplicably.
It's just that this ability has a backlash, which usually reflects Yan Liuyuan's high fever after making a wish, or other minor illnesses.
This is the reason why Ren Xiaosu wanted to protect Yan Liuyuan in the first place. He didn't believe it at first, but he couldn't believe it later.
Suddenly a meteor flashed across the sky, and Yan Liuyuan subconsciously made a wish with his hands folded together, but was stopped by Ren Xiaosu: "Don't make a random wish, something will happen."
Now Ren Xiaosu has rarely used Yan Liuyuan's luck. He said that it was because he was already able to hit the prey, so he didn't need Yan Liuyuan's ability, and Yan Liuyuan never refuted it.
The thin Yan Liuyuan looked at the meteor that had disappeared and said: "Why does the meteor fly so fast, what if everyone can't make a wish in time?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and said, "It's flying fast, maybe it's because it doesn't want to listen to your wishes at all."
Yan Liuyuan looked back at Ren Xiaosu: "..."
...
Yan Liuyuan was Ren Xiaosu's night watchman, but it didn't mean that he was required to watch all night, and Ren Xiaosu would also be replaced in the middle. After all, Yan Liuyuan still had to go to class during the day.
This situation is very tormenting, and not getting enough sleep is a big problem, but living in this environment, neither Ren Xiaosu nor Yan Liuyuan have no choice.
In the early morning, Ren Xiaosu led Yan Liuyuan out, carrying all the valuables with him, even his big iron pot.
There was no accident that when they returned to their shack at night, the shack must have been turned over.
"I heard that the shelter is not closed at night, and no one steals anything at all," Yan Liuyuan carried the blanket on his back, and then watched Ren Xiaosu carry the big iron pot wherever he went, which was almost all of their belongings.
On weekdays, Yan Liuyuan had to go to school with a blanket on his back, and the other students were the same, so everyone was used to it.
"Fart." Although Ren Xiaosu yearned for life inside the refuge barrier, he firmly didn't believe that there was any place in the world that did not close the door at night: "Some people think that the fart of people inside the refuge barrier is fragrant and the air is sweet. of."
"Then you can't always carry the pot around," Yan Liuyuan said.
"What do you know," Ren Xiaosu explained, "I finally found this pot, and I can cook and catch sparrows. How would we live without this?"
Ren Xiaosu carried the iron pan on his shoulders with one hand, and held the huge sparrow upside down with the other hand. When walking on the road, many people cast envious glances at Ren Xiaosu.
You must know that in today's species order, humans are no longer the top species on the food chain.
People say that the sparrows used to be less than the size of a slap, what about now? This thing can peck people to death.
Not everyone has the ability to catch sparrows, and not everyone has the patience to spend a day and a night in the wilderness. Everyone is someone who hasn't seen meat and fish for a few years. It would be a lie to say that they don't envy Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu brought Yan Liuyuan to the city gate of the refuge barrier. The towering wall gave people a great sense of oppression.
Once here, the architecture has changed, and you can even see the masonry house.
The closer you get to the barrier,
It looks cleaner, neater and richer. The people who live here all have a more or less relationship with the refuge barrier, maybe it's a good flattery, maybe there are relatives inside.
But no matter what, these refugees are collectively referred to as "contaminated" people, and they cannot enter the barrier.
Ren Xiaosu walked into a room with the word "grocery shop" written on the door of the room. Inside, there were cigarettes, matches, ironware, grain, and clothing, but the prices were very expensive.
The old man in the room was very happy when he saw Ren Xiaosu: "This sparrow looks quite big!"
Ren Xiaosu threw the sparrow on the glass counter: "How much?"
"Oh, take it easy, this glass is precious," Old Wang said distressedly, and then he threw the sparrow on the iron scale next to him: "Three catties and six taels, that's fine, Xiaosu."
At this moment, the abacus in Old Wang's hand slapped loudly, his dry hands like chicken feet seemed to be wound up, and the abacus clacked: "Today's market price is 200 yuan per catty, and you count it as 700 yuan. Bar!"
"900," Ren Xiaosu said decisively, "Winter is coming soon, and there are few sparrows recently, so 900 can't be less."
Old Wang was not happy anymore, he pushed the abacus in front of Ren Xiaosu: "We are all sent to the barrier for the nobles to eat, it is true that there is a lack of meat in the barrier, but everything has a price, we have to follow the rules. Come."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Wang saw Ren Xiaosu turn around next to the sparrow and was about to go out. He quickly grabbed the sleeve of Ren Xiaosu's torn coat: "Where are you going?"
"I asked Lao Li for the price of the grocery store," Ren Xiaosu said.
Pharaoh's hand suddenly tightened a little. Today, there is a steward in the barrier who specifically explained that he wants to collect game. This news is not only known to his family. he
Lao Wang smiled and said with a big wrinkle: "How much do you want to sell?"
Ren Xiaosu still wanted to leave: "I'll ask the price."
Lao Wang smiled very amiably: "Isn't that delaying Liu Yuan's school time, 900 is 900!"
"What did you say last sentence?" Ren Xiaosu asked calmly.
"That's not a delay..."
"One more sentence."
"How much do you want to sell?"
"1200."
Pharaoh: "???"
After a long while, Pharaoh ordered the money in distress, and counted it over and over again with spittle, for fear that he had counted it wrong.
The final transaction price was 1198, Ren Xiaosu also made his own concessions...
A sparrow sells for 1198, not because the price is too inflated, not only because the sparrow is big, but mainly because game is not commonly eaten in the No. 113 refugee barrier.
Rare things are precious, and Lao Wang will not do business that loses money. This sparrow is sold to a powerful and powerful family, and he can make a small profit by changing his hand, and he can also get some favors.
Old Wang put a lot of change into Ren Xiaosu's hand with a distressed face, and at this moment he lowered his voice as if he remembered something and said, "Xiaosu, next time you want to catch a sparrow, don't kill it directly. There are nobles who want to live, and the price is higher!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment: "Why do you want to live, kill now and kill now?"
"No," Old Wang shook his head: "You don't understand that, this is someone who wants to raise sparrows to play!"
