Chapter 229 Small Market

After walking until ten o'clock in a row, everyone's physical strength was severely overdrawn. It happened that there was a village on the side of the expressway, which was just right to settle down.\ww.qβ5.com

Most of the doors in the village were open, some were closed, and they were not locked. It seemed that there were a few waves of people who had stayed overnight here. The team chose several adjacent houses, which were empty inside, and everything that could be taken away had been taken away. Even the furniture was split into firewood, and there were a pile of fires full of ashes left in the house.

Those who have been running around for a long time are not picky about their living environment. In addition, those who have been tired for a day and have arranged for the night watch will all take out the things that have been laid out and fall asleep directly.

The next morning, everyone found some water outside to wash their faces, then found some dry firewood, boiled some boiling water, and set off again. Fortunately, it rained all night yesterday, and today the sky was rare, so there shouldn't be any more rain in the morning.

After getting on the highway, I kept walking forward again.

Days like this are very dry. Except for a few occasional conversations, they are just rushing to the road.

Zhou Liming wanted to leave several times, but he still held it back. When he reached his level, he had nothing to pursue. He just wanted to experience his previous escape journey again. But this time he had a different identity and did not have the confusion and oppression he had at that time, so he naturally felt a strange feeling.

The character of the flame bird is naturally unrestrained. He was tired of Zhou Liming's shoulders, and he flew around in the sky from time to time, occasionally going out to find food, but he could accurately find Zhou Liming's location. For this strange bird with such a spirituality, even Lan Hualiang was surprised, and no one would think of the ferocious beast at all.

The information about ferocious beasts is not a secret, but only the army and the government can check it out. How could ordinary people spend their time understanding these things in chaos? Of course, ordinary people have fewer knowledge of ferocious beasts, and no one would think of this cute little bird towards the ferocious beast. In their consciousness, ferocious beasts are tall, hideous, and extremely cruel.

A few days ago, I could see teams of pedestrians on the expressway, but after getting off the expressway and turning on the secondary highway a week later, the team gradually began to grow up. Some team members started to fall behind and leave alone. As Lan Hualiang expected, the journey was too long and without taking care of each other, it would be too difficult to get to Gana City.

Everyone hated this February before, but when walking on the road, they all thanked God.

If it weren't for February, the summer was changed, and the scorching sun, and after walking for such a long time, how many people would never reach Gana City?

After passing Chuanh City, there are almost endless mountains. There is only one road passing through these mountains. There are some dangerous places, and there are thousands of cliffs below. Sometimes, you can see thousands of mountains stacked, like the pen tip of the mountain. There are dense forests on both sides of these highways, and sometimes you can't encounter a village even if you walk a few kilometers.

This situation lasted for three days, and then walked along the river bank before it improved. Many villages were built on the river bank and scattered on both sides of the road.

But the situation here is not very optimistic. The villages are all empty. Although they are still imagining, they are inevitably a little disappointed when they see this scene. Thinking about more than eight months ago, everyone was still living well and the world was peaceful. But who would have thought that now it has caused the humans on the entire earth to be extinct by ferocious beasts.

Everyone sighed, with a cold face and didn't say anything, and walked forward silently.

One day later, I arrived in Rongnan City.

When a large number of people arrive here, they will choose to stay here for a while, which will naturally make the city extremely lively and there are crowds everywhere.

Zhou Liming and his group entered the city, but it was just a drop of rain and returned to the lake, which was inconspicuous at all. Before walking in the mountains and rivers, they were still a little worried and afraid, so when they arrived in the city, they naturally felt relieved. It took about ten days to get here from Yu A City. In a total of ten days, everyone was exhausted and ate two rice flour cakes every day, and their physical strength was getting worse and less and less. After discussion, they decided to stay here for a day.

Rongnan City is not big, and many people have not moved to Gana City.

Lan Hualiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When you arrive in Gana City, you need to redistribute your residence. The current conditions are good, it is better to have a tent. Although Rongnan City is a bit far from Gana City, it is far away from the front, so ferocious beasts cannot appear here. Anyway, as long as the front is broken, whether it is Rongnan City or Gana City, it is impossible for the ferocious beasts to arrive. It is better to stay here, at least your home has a good resting place."

When Zhou Liming heard Lan Hualiang say something reasonable, he thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that the same was true.

It is precisely because there are not many people walking in Rongnan City that it is impossible for people passing by to pass by to live in empty villages like on the road. Inevitably, the streets and alleys are full of tents. If there are no tents, just use a piece of cloth or plastic to support them under some eaves, which is a temporary residence.

The rest place found by Lan Hualiang is quite good, it is on the grass in a community.

Everyone set up the tent and worked hard to get the place to settle down. Zhou Liming helped Lan Hualiang set up the tent with empty hands and said, "Uncle Lan, I'll go outside to check it out and come back before night." Lan Hualiang also acted as a stop, pondered for a while, but agreed, and said, "There are soldiers outside, but be careful. Remember this community and don't get lost."

Zhou Liming said that he was no longer a child, but Lan Hualiang's concern made him nod with a smirk.

Lan Yining wanted to go out and take a look around. She had been here from E A City for almost a month and had been depressed. But she knew that her father could not let her leave, so she could only look at Zhou Liming and blink her big eyes.

Zhou Liming smiled and said that he had been with them for ten days, but he was not very familiar with them. Who would be relieved to hand over his daughter to him to take him outside at this time? It was precisely because of this that Zhou Liming could only shrug at Lan Yining and then walk outside the community.

As a city like a transit station, some people who arrive in Rongnan City pass by directly and continue to move forward, while others stay and rest.

The tents on the streets, you see them today, and may disappear tomorrow or in a while. The flow of people is large, so it is naturally chaotic. Although there are soldiers in the city and the public security is good, it is naturally impossible to deal with them like littering. Now the whole city is full of piles of garbage, and the whole city is filled with a stench.

But Zhou Liming, who walked out of the street, immediately found that he was wrong. It was not garbage that smelled, but people.

Think about it, it took nearly ten days to get here from Yu City. People who have been walking along the way have their clothes that are soaked and they wear them until they are dry. They have not taken a shower and changed clothes for ten days, so there is naturally a smell. The various people here make the air in the entire city full of odor. This sour meat smells like vomiting, which makes Zhou Liming miserable.

"Oh, I'm not alive."

Zhou Liming shook his head and could only endure the sour smell and walk on the street.

Occasionally, a group of soldiers passing by were all cold-faced and looked around. The guns in their hands were loaded, and if something happened, they would definitely open fire directly. The abortion here was too mixed, and without the iron-blooded discipline, there was no way to suppress them.

Zhou Liming's willingness was to go to the river to see if he could catch a few fish, so as to improve his appetite.

When I walked to the river, I found that people were coming and going on the main road, almost all of which were occupied. I saw some people setting up street stalls on both sides of the road, selling some food, and even some simple carts, pots and pans, etc. Similarly, even some clothes were being sold.

This is a trading market.

Zhou Liming was slightly surprised and then became interested. In this era of ferocious beasts, the formation of such trading markets was not an easy task.

If something is sold, someone has to buy it. The transactions exist together to form a market. For example, many cities, due to their own conditions, even if they have millions of people, they cannot form a trading market. Everyone is eager to see if the government can mobilize materials and then have the opportunity to buy what they want.

Unexpectedly, the small Rongnan City actually formed such a trading market, and the scale was quite large.

Zhou Liming walked up and squeezed into the crowd, as if he had discovered a new world, looking around with curiosity.

The things on the street stalls can be said to be all kinds of strange things, but they are mainly concentrated in the three aspects of food and clothing. Some street stalls have some noodles, flour, rice and other foods, and the prices are of course not expensive. What is more valuable is that some street stalls also have wild game, some pheasants, wild boars, birds, etc., which can be seen.

Ordinary foods are expensive, not to mention these meat products, of course they will be even higher.

These meats are definitely extremely rich, such as snake meat, rat meat, deer meat, fish meat, wolf meat, wild boar meat, wild cat meat, etc., which can be seen here. Those who sell these things are residents living in this mountain. They have not been affected by the era of ferocious beasts and have not suffered any impact in their lives. When the food is soaring, they will not mind taking their hunting harvests to Rongnan City for purchase.

Although people in the mountains are affected very little, they are not stupid. The currency they trade usually only has precious metals such as gold and silver. If they are paid with money, the price will be higher. After all, they are also taking risks. If these banknotes are useless in the future, they will lose a lot.

The formation of the trading market is mainly dominated by local people.

In addition to food, there are clothing and daily necessities. Zhou Liming originally thought that these should be of no market nature, but things were a little beyond his expectations. Many people also bought these clothing and daily necessities. But these things are naturally not as expensive as the food.

As Zhou Liming goes on, fish may be the most used meat, after all, it is much easier to obtain.

The most people ask about food. People can wear a set of clothes for a month, but without food, problems will occur in a few days. Moreover, meat is too attractive, so many people will buy some and then leave happily. Being able to eat a meal of meat is a happy thing for them now.

Zhou Liming smiled bitterly. In the past, he had big fish and meat every meal, but now he may not be able to eat a meal of meat in a month. Now he has meat to eat, which is indeed a happy thing.

The trading market is very active. There are many poor people in this world, but there are also many rich people and their purchasing power is also very strong. Now the world is in chaos, and the rich people naturally have to spend money quickly. Otherwise, who knows if there is still a chance in the future? Although the prices have risen to a sky-high price, their wealth is enough for some people to squander.

Although some wild game is rare and more expensive, it is still sold out.

The residents living in the mountains do not understand the price of the goods. They only know that the money they make in one day is only earned in a few years or even more than ten years ago. No matter what the world is in chaos, they are not afraid of money turning into waste paper. As long as the country still wants it, it is still money.

It’s not an exaggeration. With their income, it’s only five or six thousand a year, but now you can sell it for more than ten or two hundred thousand with a few wild game. Almost all the rich buy things with snakeskin bags containing money. This money was withdrawn from the bank after building a stable front in the early days.

In order to cope with the banknote crisis, the country's banknote printing machines are printed at full speed in 24 hours. The banknotes are definitely as much as they need.

The current situation is to stabilize the people's hearts, and as for the consequences of large-scale printing of money, I can no longer care about it.

Zhou Liming cannot say that he is tempted by meat. His ability is that he eats meat or a ferocious beast. If he wants to eat wild game, he can go around the mountain at any time. Almost no animal can escape from the palm of his hand. What's more, Zhou Liming used to hide a lot of gold, silver and diamonds. Based on the current price of gold, 100,000 or 200 million is not a problem. But these golds are buried far away in the coast, so they won't go to get it and come back to buy things?

After walking around here, Zhou Liming, who was penniless, fell in love with a few things, but finally shook his head and gave up.

There are also many things like tent raincoats on the street stalls. Zhou Liming likes these things, but he is penniless and has to give up helplessly.

After leaving the trading market, Zhou Liming walked to the riverside.

Because it is rainy season, the water level in the river is very high and the river water is very turbid, which is why a large number of valleys and mountains rushed into the river. It is indeed difficult to catch fish in this river without tools. However, Zhou Liming is not an ordinary person. He searched around and found that there was no suitable tool, so he could only use bone spurs to secretly cut a bamboo spur and then return to the riverside.

The river with high water levels is turbid again. It is difficult to stab a fish than to get in a lake.

Zhou Liming stood by the river, found a rock, then jumped to the top and stood up, raised the bamboo thorn in his hand, closed his eyes, and stopped moving. His ears stood up and moved from time to time. At the seventh level, his ears became incredible and his sensitivity to things was very high.

After listening to the river for a few minutes, confirming the sound of the water flowing and some noises, I finally confirmed the sound of the fish swimming.

After the rain, fish usually come out to forage because there are more plankton in the river, and a lot of food on land will rush into the river to give them a full meal.

Zhou Liming narrowed his eyes and moved his ears. Then the bamboo thorn in his hand pierced into the river without hesitation. Amid the sound of water, a carp weighing more than three pounds was stabbed by Zhou Liming, picked up from the river, and then threw it to the shore.

There were also people around. At first, I thought Zhou Liming wanted to make a mistake, but now when I saw Zhou Liming thorns, he actually stabbed fish from the river with a bamboo thorn. Everyone was shocked and looked at Zhou Liming in disbelief. Even if they saw this incredible scene with their own eyes, they would not believe it. You must know that the river water is rising, and the water flows fast, and the river water is turbid, how could it be stabbed fish? Even when the river water is small and clear, no one can do it, right?

Zhou Liming jumped off the rock, used a small vine to skew the twitching carp, hung it on the branches beside him, and returned to the rock, and continued to squint his eyes.

The river is not as good as a lake. Sometimes when waiting for more than ten minutes, there may not be fish swimming by the river. However, Zhou Liming was lucky. After only two minutes of going up, he shook his hand suddenly. The bamboo thorns were already thrust out like lightning. He once again picked up a large grass carp out of the river and threw it to the shore.

"Strange skills, magic skills"

"It's so amazing that he's mom."

"Awesome"

Various voices sounded, and this time the people who saw it clearly all started to scream.

No wonder, this skill is really not something that anyone can do. No one doubts whether Zhou Liming is a super soldier. After all, in people's psychology, super soldiers are unified by the state, and they eat good food and use good food and good food, and they are the top soldier. How could people come here?

Zhou Liming ignored them, thinking that more than 30 people, two fish were less than seven kilograms, but not enough to divide them, so four more thorns were 15 or 16 kilograms. This was to insert bamboo thorns into the soil by the river, skewers of fish, and carry them to the shore.

This kind of freshly baked fish is far from comparable to those on the street stalls who have been dead for a long time. Some people with slightly assets gathered around and asked Zhou Liming whether the fish in his hands would be sold. They all wanted to buy one or two of them from Zhou Liming.

Zhou Liming was not short of money, so he smiled and shook his head, and was too lazy to bother with them. He pushed the crowd away, carried six fish, and left in a swagger.

(Please give me a monthly ticket... I am very unlucky today. I won’t explain it in my life. In short, I’m depressed)
