Southern part of the Wetland Park.
The survivors on Beit Street were walking towards the outpost carrying a wild boar.
It is difficult to catch prey in winter, but if you are lucky and explore the ruins of high-rise buildings along the Fifth Ring Road, you can still catch a game or two.
They usually handle small animals such as squirrels and hares by themselves, but for big animals like wild boars, if they take meat to the butcher in the town, they will be charged 30%!
It’s not a good deal.
Those blue coats only get 20% of the salary, and they are never vague about the amount. It is worth them walking a few more kilometers.
The wild boar was tied to a wooden stick. Yu Hu and Li Niu were holding one shoulder each, and next to them was a little guy with a face and ears that were red from the cold.
There weren’t many aliens wandering around outside in this weather, and predators rarely left their stronghold. Xiaoyu was clamoring to come, but Yu Hu couldn’t resist his sister, so he took her with him.
Although the weather was very cold, Xiaoyu was in a very happy mood at the thought of seeing Brother Chu again soon, and hummed the newly made tune unconsciously.
At this moment, the steps of the second brother and cousin suddenly stopped.
The little fish also stopped and blinked.
“Brother, what’s wrong?”
Yu Hu made a shushing gesture to Xiaoyu, then looked at Li Niu and pointed ahead.
“Nomad.”
Li Niu also saw the figure in the distance, but was still unsure.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah.”
Li Niu asked in a low voice.
“Why are the nomads here?”
Yu Hu thought for a long time, but he didn’t understand and shook his head.
“I don’t know, maybe Brother Chu was kind enough to take them in.”
Brother Chu is very nice and down-to-earth, but a little too kind. Sometimes people can’t help but worry that he will be deceived by others.
To be honest, Yu Hu felt guilty every time he exchanged prey for something.
The salt bought from here is not adulterated at all, and the salt given is much more than that of old Charlie.
I’m really worried that he will lose money.
Xiaoyu looked up at his second brother and cousin, blinking his big eyes curiously, not understanding what they were talking about.
She doesn’t understand what a nomad is.
I don’t think it’s strange that they appear here.
Brother Chu is such a good person, there must be many people who want to be neighbors with him, right?
However, things that were not strange to her were still a bit strange to Yu Hu and Li Niu.
Whether it is their way of life or cultural practices, these nomads from far away are different from the survivors who have fixed residences.
Because they have no fixed place to live, they don’t care what their neighbors think of them, and they pay little attention to whether their behavior will offend others.
Maybe it’s prejudice, but they are indeed full of thieves, liars and villains, and sometimes they bring terrible plagues…
Yu Hu held his sister and waited until the man walked away, then called Li Niu to move on.
The group was very careful not to come into contact with the refugees. After showing the passes to the guards, they entered the outpost directly from the south gate.
It’s different from the last time I came here. The changes here are really big.
Yu Hu remembers clearly that the last time he came here, the road from the south gate to the warehouse was just a dirt road with nothing next to it.
Now, not only is the road covered with a layer of gray stuff that feels solid when stepped on, but there are also several red brick houses built on both sides of the road.
Especially the largest house, the door is tightly closed, and there is a chimney built with bricks on the top, with black smoke floating.
Yu Hu had never seen such a strange building before, nor had his sister and Li Niu, who were standing next to him, and their eyes widened in curiosity.
“Brother, what is that.”
“It should be a chimney. I remember the mayor had it upstairs.”
“Chimney? What is that for?”
“It seems to be for cooking? I remember venting the cooking smoke.”
“But it’s not time to eat yet.”
“I don’t know, maybe… it’s a place that cooks for many people.”
Anyway, there is nothing so strange in Beit Street.
In sharp contrast to the curious expressions on the three people’s faces, the blue coats here are not as curious about them as before.
Except for the last batch of newbies who just came in, the players here are already familiar with these players, and those who should be curious are already curious.
I happened to meet Chu Guang who was wandering in the industrial area.
Yu Hu’s eyes suddenly lit up and he greeted from afar.
“Brother Chu.”
“Hey, long time no see, have you caught game again?” Looking at the wild boar carried on the shoulders of Yu Hu and Li Niu, a smile appeared on Chu Guang’s face.
Not bad.
What a blessing!
Last time, all the wild boar meat was eaten by the players. This time, he had to keep some for himself, so as not to let the players buy all of it.
“Hmm! It’s so big!”
Xiaoyu happily made a sign with her hands, and Chu Guang couldn’t help being amused by her, causing a smile to appear on his face.
Looking at his sister, Yu Hu said in a low voice.
“Xiaoyu misses you.”
“Well! Xiaoyu misses you!”
“I miss you too,” Chu Guang smiled and rubbed Xiaoyu’s little head, looked at Yu Hu and said, “Do you live in that shed now?”
“Well,” Yu Hu nodded and said with a sheepish smile, “I repaired the shed a little bit, and it looks much more spacious now than before. Thank you.”
“No need to thank me, Xiaoyu gave it to you, just be nice to your sister.” Chu Guang continued, “Speaking of how you have been lately, are there any predators harassing you?”
“Predators? I haven’t seen those people recently. We are doing well, but you have to be careful.” Yu Hu’s expression became serious and he said seriously, “I heard some old people say that there is a group of people living in the north. Some hunters who used **** handprints as flags were captured when they went north to look for deer… They were the ones who injured my brother and my father last time!”
Blood handprint?
Are you talking about the Bloody Hand Clan?
However, they probably have no chance to continue doing evil.
Chu Guang smiled lightly and said lightly.
“Don’t worry, they won’t harass you anymore.”
Hearing these words, expressions of surprise suddenly appeared on the faces of Yu Hu and Li Niu. Only Xiaoyu had a question mark on his face and did not understand what the adults were saying from beginning to end.
However, she remembered a little bit about what happened last time.
“… Speaking of which, last time Xiaoyu saw two very fierce-looking men taking away a very beautiful sister from Beit Street.”
Hearing Xiaoyu’s interruption, Chu Guang’s heart moved and he asked.
“That sister, isn’t she very white? She’s probably… this tall.”
Chu Guang gestured, roughly to his nose.
Xiaoyu frowned and thought, nodded seriously, and said with wide eyes.
“Hmm! Brother Chu, have you seen that big sister?”
Don’t say you’ve seen it before…
The expression is somewhat intriguing.
Chu Guang thought for a while, and finally used a euphemistic way of saying it, and brushed off this topic that was too heavy for her.
“That sister…well, I sent her away.”
That person was indeed sent by the old mayor.
As he spoke, Chu Guang looked at Yu Hu and Li Niu.
“Let’s not talk about this for now. It’s so cold outside. If you can trust me, just leave the wild boar to Old Luca to deal with. Come sit with me in the house for a while?”
Yu Hu and Li Niu nodded immediately.
“Yeah!”
“Okay!”
……
Li Niu is not very familiar with Chu Guang, but Yu Hu is very familiar with Chu Guang.
It is no exaggeration to say that Brother Chu is his most trusted outsider besides his closest relatives.
Without his help in times of crisis, his eldest brother would have died in the hospital bed long ago.
This is life-saving kindness.
Besides, Yu Hu doesn’t think that a good person like Brother Chu would be greedy for a few pieces of his own flesh. If he really wants it, give it to him.
In Yu Hu’s opinion, this is also what it should be.
Chu Guang took the three of them to the main building of the nursing home. There was a fairly spacious and airtight room on the first floor, which he had transformed into a reception room.
There are some simple furniture here, all made by the new professional players in the carpentry cabin.
Chu Guang lit the charcoal fire, and after settling the three of them, he went back to the shelter and took a bottle of wine and a bottle of milk from the refrigerator.
The milk was given to the little fish.
As for the wine, Chu Guang took Yu Hu and the two of them to sit in front of the brazier, gave each of them a small cup, and poured them both a glass each.
The amount is not much, only about 20ml.
“Try it.”
Yu Hu came closer to the cup and smelled it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
“This is… wine?!”
Chu Guang said with a smile.
“Stuffed with potato wedges and made with polygonum.”
Li Niu also said with admiration.
“It smells so good!”
No, it should be said that it is too luxurious!
In this **** cold winter, there is actually extra grain to make wine.
Yu Hu and Li Niu were extremely envious.
In previous years, only in the fat years when life was particularly good, the elders of the family would use the leftover old grains from last year to brew some turbid grain wine, and save it for special festivals or happy events.
In particular, green wheat contains acid and cannot be used to make wine. If you want to make wine, you must use croissant potatoes or a kind of fruit picked in the wild.
But that kind of fruit can only be seen in autumn and summer, and there is no chance at ordinary times.
It is so rare to have a sip of warm wine in this weather.
“Hiss, so spicy!”
Yu Hu is okay, he must have a good drinking capacity. The young man Li Niu looks strong, but after one sip, his whole face turned red like a monkey’s butt.
Looking at this spicy young man sticking out his tongue, Chu Guang smiled and said.
“The alcohol content is a bit high, drink slowly.”
It is distilled liquor after all.
It is normal for mutated potato version of vodka to be spicy in the throat.
Actually, Chu Guang’s brewing is not just for drinking. The reason why the warehouse places orders in this regard is mainly to reserve alcohol for medical use.
It’s just that the players are too worried about him.
Since the death penalty was lowered several times, seriously injured players consciously walked back on their own, and then found a place out of the way to patch themselves up.
This alcohol is not needed for major injuries, but there is no chance to use it for minor injuries. It is only for some wounds that need suturing, but there is a chance to use it.
After this first experience, the two young men were much more cautious and did not drink in such a hurry. After taking a sip of wine, his body, which had been frozen, instantly warmed up.
“Life here is great.” Yu Hu said with envy as he looked at the rising brazier.
“It will be better,” Chu Guang poured another small cup for the two of them and said with a smile, “You can come here more often in the future. We need manpower here, not just for hunting, there are many things we can do.”
Yu Hu patted his chest and said.
“No problem! Brother Chu, if you can be of use to me, just say so!”
Li Niu on the side also nodded.
“Me too.”
Chu Guang smiled.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let your help go in vain.”
At this time, Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to him and slurping milk, finally finished the milk and licked his lips with a satisfied expression on his face.
Yu Hu was amused and asked with a smile.
“Does it taste good?”
“Yes!” Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, with little stars twinkling in his eyes, and gave a thumbs up, “It tastes like mom!”
Yu Hu: “?”
Li Niu: “?”
Chu Guang: “…?”
……
The butcher took the meat very quickly. After sitting in the room for a while, Luka knocked on the door and walked into the reception room, respectfully reporting to Chu Guang.
“Sir, your guest’s prey has been taken care of.”
Chu Guang nodded and looked at the two drunken men.
“Let’s go and get your prey.”
A group of people came to the warehouse.
Luca had packed the meat in plastic bags for the two of them and handed it to Yu Hu and Li Niu. As for the fur, he changed it to 300g of salt as usual.
As for the shaved offal and bones, they were all in a plastic bucket nearby. The two of them had no intention of taking them, so they just left them here.
Seeing his brothers planning to leave, Xiaoyu hesitated.
After thinking for a long time, she gently tugged on Yu Hu’s sleeve, motioned for him to lower his head and come closer, and whispered something in his ear.
When Yu Hu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head like a rattle and said in a urn sound.
“That’s okay, our family has caused enough trouble to Brother Chu!”
“But…”
“Without a but, this won’t work!”
Hearing that the content discussed by the two seemed to be related to him, Chu Guang glanced at the brother and sister curiously.
“What are you talking about?”
Seeing Chu Guang looking at him, Yu Hu looked a little embarrassed and was thinking about how to speak.
However, at this time, the sister standing next to him mustered up the courage and spoke softly.
“Xiaoyu also wants to be like his elder brother and can help Brother Chu. After all… you don’t even need Xiaoyu to help look after the house, and you still treat Xiaoyu to eat so many candies.”
“Sugar?”
Yu Hu was stunned and glared at his sister.
“When did you eat other people’s food? Didn’t dad teach you not to eat whatever others give you?”
He only knew that his sister seemed to have taken some plastic sticks, but he did not hear that they were candies.
This thing is much more valuable than salt!
Knowing that he was “in the wrong”, Xiaoyu’s ears turned red when his brother glared at him. He didn’t know what to say, so he just stopped talking and twisted his neck to pretend that he didn’t hear.
Looking at the two brothers and sisters, Chu Guang said with a smile: “Your brother can’t be regarded as doing me a favor. We should consider it as… a transaction? Or you can understand it as a reward.”
The little fish raised his head, his eyes shining.
“Then, if Xiaoyu helps, will he be paid?”
“Of course…”
The little fish’s eyes are brighter.
“Then, can I use candy as payment?”
Chu Guang has a lot of lollipops. After all, they are the guaranteed reward of the junior blind box. You can draw them again even if you finish eating them.
It’s just that Chu Guang really never thought that this thing would come in handy in such an occasion.
“If you want to help me, I just have a job for you, and it’s a very important job. But… this place is so far away from your home, and it takes a long way to get here. Is it really okay? ”
Chu Guang looked at Yu Hu.
I thought that his elder brother would advise me, but I didn’t expect that Yu Hu, who was shaking his head like a rattle just now, actually rebelled on the spot.
“No problem, as long as I can help you! Brother Chu, if you don’t mind, my sister will live with you, which will save you all the travel!”
Before Chu Guang could react, Xiaoyu nodded excitedly and raised his little arms.
“Oh! Xiaoyu is now an adult and can take care of himself!”
Li Niu didn’t know what to say, but felt that he should help, so he thought for a long time and choked out a sentence.
“I can help build the shed…I’ll pick up some things.”
Chu Guang coughed dryly and stopped this guy’s mindless behavior.
“…That’s not necessary.”
