Chapter 85 Lin Family's Help
Lin family?
Chen Ye's mind moved slightly.
By the way, the Lin family is particular about courtesy and exchange, and once had a prominent family background.
A big family like this, although declining in the middle, still has a foundation.
If you can make friends with them, exchanging silver coins is of course something you can help with.
Last time, the food Chen Ye sent had a relationship with Lin Shu, who is currently in charge of the position of the head of the family. Although it was not deep, at least he had a good impression.
Bring some gifts over, maybe you can exchange them for silver coins at the standard price, and you can also ask if there are any storage items.
"Young man, it's getting late, hurry over."
The moonlight was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the figure of the old lady selling chestnuts was erratic, and her back gradually disappeared at the end of the alley, and her voice soon disappeared.
Chen Ye noticed that when the old lady selling chestnuts left, the blue lines connecting her body were slowly disappearing...
It seemed that the connection with the alleys in Xining was getting weaker and weaker, and he didn't know when they would meet again.
He realized that there might be an accident recently, which would suddenly break out and sweep across the surrounding areas.
Therefore, the situation was urgent, and he had to seize every minute and every second to make more preparations and prepare for a rainy day.
He left from the north gate and arrived at the old street.
Just then.
On the old street, there were shadows of vendors, dragging huge bags behind them, leaving Yong'an Market one after another.
The narrow road was suddenly covered by a sea of black figures, as if there were few places to stay.
Observing with the eyes of luck, Chen Ye suddenly found that they all had blood around their heads, but the brightness was different. Some were more obvious, surrounded by ink; some were dim, as thick as a piece of earth, blocking the source of the evil spirit...
They walked in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to Chen Ye. Although the density was also high, it was not as dangerous as it was on the pedestrian street.
Occasionally, a few strange faces turned their heads to look at Chen Ye, but quickly turned their eyes away.
These faces were either green-faced and fanged, as scary as monsters, or shriveled and bloodless, like the faces of dead people.
However, Chen Ye was looking at these faces now, and his heart was no longer rippled.
After all, his current face seemed to be more terrifying than these!
It seemed that they should be afraid of him.
He found a suitable gap, followed the flow of people in the large group, quickened his pace, walked in the opposite direction of Yong'an Market, successfully found the second fork in the road, and squeezed in.
Suddenly, the crowded flow of people behind him was thrown to the back, and the air seemed to be fresher.
Following the path he had walked last time, Chen Ye soon found a half-closed bronze door. The "clang clang clang" sound coming from inside was very noisy, as if someone was busy with something.
He walked forward and knocked on the door.
Soon.
Several children came to the door and poked their heads out.
When a head popped out, Chen Ye found that the other person had a beautiful face, with hair flowing like seaweed, soft and neutral facial features, and it was difficult to tell whether he was male or female.
The group of faceless children grew a new face.
The face that grew from the "fruit seeds" purchased that day was somewhat similar.
"Big brother, why are you here?" The child at the door seemed to recognize Chen Ye and said in a clear voice.
Chen Ye moved the cart over, wrapped the food in oil paper bags, and handed it over, saying:
"I'm here to bring you some delicious food."
The group of children immediately took the oil paper bags excitedly and opened them quickly.
However, the 'fish-eye coral tree' that appeared in front of them made the smiles of these children freeze on their faces.
There were also a few more timid children who held their breath for a moment and did not move, as if they were about to cry out of fear.
But fortunately, the child who knew Chen Ye was obviously bolder and directly broke off a piece of 'coral', put it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
After a while, his eyes lit up, and his little face was full of surprise. He hurriedly called his friends:
"Come and taste it. Although this thing looks a little ugly, it is really delicious!"
Chen Ye's mouth twitched slightly. Can you not use the adjective "ugly" directly? After all, it is his own craftsmanship, which hurts his self-esteem!
But he looked at the appearance of the 'fish-eye coral tree' and felt that the child only used the adjective "ugly", which was kind-hearted.
Seeing this, several children around hesitated and broke off a piece and chewed it for a few times.
After a moment, their faces revealed surprise, and their movements became more and more unbridled.
They ate more and more happily.
It seemed as if they had been hungry for a long time.
[Scare value from Lin Yi -30, surprise value +80! ]
[Scare value from Lin Er -60, surprise value +50! ]
[Scare value from Lin Wu -80, surprise value +35! ]
[…]
[The total increase of weirdness value in this round is 850 points! ]
At this moment, Chen Ye's weirdness value reached 23,200 points, and he continued to rank second.
However…
The distance between him and Bai Chen did not get closer, but it did not get farther either, and there was still a difference of 4,000 points.
"The psychological shadow caused by the shock value to all children is roughly the same."
"However, the child who dared to try crabs for the first time tasted good, which raised the expectations of the following friends, so the surprise value was not that high."
"These children added a total of 850 points, an average of more than 100 points each, which is not bad."
At this time, Lin Shu walked out of the door, looked at the surrounding scene, and his eyes fell on Chen Ye, with a little more gratitude.
"My friendly guest, you have provided these children with material support during a time of food shortage. I will remember this kindness."
Food shortage... Chen Ye noticed this word and asked:
"Has there been a problem recently?"
"Well, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time." Lin Shu nodded, glanced at the Lin residence behind him, and sighed: "It seems that we will leave this place where we have lived and worked for a long time soon and wander around for a while."
Chen Ye's mind moved: "You are leaving?"
Lin Shu said: "There is no place in this world where you can stay for a long time, and this is not the first time to migrate. I hope you can avoid this catastrophe."
After pondering for a moment, Chen Ye realized that the natives in the strange era all have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Their thinking patterns are different. Although they lack the emotions of normal people and use acting to supplement the human communication method, their ability to perceive crises is more acute than others. When danger comes, they will choose to avoid it as quickly as possible.
I'm afraid... this instinct is also the survival law of the fittest in the weird era.
However, unexpectedly, the Lin family actually mobilized the power of the entire family to migrate to the next area.
Even the once wealthy family could not help but become a wandering existence.
But it seems that because of this, Chen Ye can use the characteristics of [Wandering Heart] to get their help...
This seems to be the effect brought by the characteristics, and it seems to be a natural thing that can't be more natural.
Chen Ye didn't waste time, and briefly described his need to exchange silver coins and that he was forced to migrate for similar reasons, so he needed a prop for convenient portable storage.
After listening, Lin Shu took out ten silver coins without saying a word.
However.
Unexpectedly, in addition to these ten silver coins, there was also an ancient bronze token.
Observing with the pupil of luck...
In the token, the faint glass light gathered like stars into a long bridge of stars, connecting with Chen Ye.
