Chapter 40: 40th

The man stood behind the counter, with short hair hanging down to cover half of his eyes, and the bulging backpack behind him was particularly striking.
His body was tight and his look was full of alertness. After seeing the child in Shen Shi'an's arms, his alertness was slightly lowered. After seeing Shen Shi'an's appearance, his alertness was reduced again. Innateness of beautiful things relaxes your vigilance.
But when he turned his attention to the long sword behind Shen Shi'an, the alert that fell only doubled up again.
Shen Shi'an looked at the other party quickly, and looked at the blood of the two zombies lying on the floor outside the counter. The blood of the zombies had not completely solidified. It seemed that the man hadn't entered the place for more than half an hour.
"My surname is Shen," Shen Shi'an took the initiative to say, "It's going to be dark, and going forward is the town center. It is very dangerous, so I'm going to take my child to settle here. If you feel inconvenient, we can change another local."
The other party was silent for a while, then shook his head, "No." He paused and said, "My surname is Chen."
Shen Shi'an asked, "Are there any other zombies?"
"No, I checked."
Shen Shi'an put the child down "then let's throw these two zombies out first"
The other nodded and walked out from behind the counter. When they approached each other, they could see each other more clearly. The man's face was sharp and angular, and it seemed that he was a type of quiet and not very fond of talking. Shen Xun followed his steps and turned his eyes half a circle, then suddenly shrugged his nose.
Shen Shi'an cooperated with the other party to lift the zombies and throw them out, and then simply cleaned and cleaned the shop again. The display style inside is similar to the most common large pharmacy. A glass cabinet of equal height is erected against the wall, and a glass counter of one meter high is placed around the cabinet. It is packed with plastic bags Good seed. The shelf in the middle was supposed to contain agricultural products. Now it has been ransacked, lifted up and moved to both sides, and a large area is vacated. There is a compartment at the back of the store, which is estimated to be a place for the boss or salesperson to rest.
"You settled the zombies here alone," Shen Shi'an said. "You collect materials first."
The other person's look eased by two points, nodded, walked around the back room and walked back quickly, probably no food was found, slightly disappointed. To Shen Shi'an said, "I'm fine."
Shen Shi'an went directly to the glass cabinet and counter where the seeds were stored, and carefully checked from left to right. Surprisingly, these seeds obviously have been collected, and a lot of them are vacant in many places, so Shen Shi'an could not help thinking of the man's bulging backpack. But what does the other party want the seed to do to settle in the countryside and cultivate the land?
Since the other party said that he had searched it, Shen Shi'an was not polite. He took a backpack from the car and filled all the remaining seeds in it, including two bags of white radish that he and children did not like. Who knows, maybe Variation goose likes it.
After putting the seeds back into the car, it was completely dark. Shen Shi'an found a circle of firewood in the vicinity, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that the child was staring at his backpack.
"Look for it." Shen Shi'an shouted and apologized to the other side at the same time. "Sorry, the child is not sensible."
The other shook his head and said nothing, but pulled the backpack closer to himself.
He occupied the end of the shop near the door, and Shen Shian took the child to the end of the shop. The two sides were diagonally distributed, each burning a bunch of bonfires. The iron fence was closed tightly, and the door was closed, leaving only a gap of ten centimeters as an air vent. The orange and yellow firelights reflected on the walls and glass cabinets, which were quite bright.
Because other people are here, I can only eat instant noodles tonight. Shen Shian took the pot and water from the car. After the water boiled, he put tomato sauce, old lady, noodles, eggs, ham sausage, and seasoning bags in that order according to the customary formula. The orange-red soup gurgles with bubbles, and the rich aroma quickly permeates the entire store.
Shen Shi'an's hearing has been significantly improved because of the advanced exercises. Although it has not been carefully measured, he can hear subtle movements at a distance of about 20 meters. For example, he clearly heard the young man swallowing saliva from the other end of the shop.
The other party was obviously trying to suppress his desire, turning his back and not looking here. But when Shen Xun started holding the sea bowl and started to sizzle the noodles, and finally said that it was delicious, he finally couldn't help it. He seemed to be determined to take something out of his backpack and walk slowly towards Shen Shi'an "Excuse me, excuse me. I want to ask, can I change a bag of instant noodles with you?"
Shen Shi'an looked at what was in his hand. It was two potatoes with big fists.
The other party obviously realized that the exchange was a bit unequal, with a slight reddening on his face, and a little pleading, "I know the two potatoes are a little bit, but you only go tomorrow, right? I can give you again tomorrow." The words "two" came to an abrupt halt, as if some important secret had been accidentally revealed. The man hurriedly stopped his words, flashing annoyance on his face.
Shen Shi'an didn't understand the meaning of what he said. Since he can give two potatoes tomorrow, why not give the instant noodles together and pay in installments?
But the man obviously didn't intend to explain. The annoyance in his look became more obvious, and he didn't change his face. He turned around and walked back.
"Wait a minute." Shen Shi'an called him, took a pack of instant noodles from his backpack, plus a sausage and a chicken leg. "I'm willing to change with you. Except for these two potatoes, if you have seeds, then It could not be better."
The man's eyes brightened, and after a moment of hesitation, he focused on "I have it"
Squat down and place the potatoes next to Shen Shi'an, quickly return to their positions, and take out a dozen packets of seeds from the bag with their backs facing them. Shen Shi'an noticed that after taking out the seeds, his backpack was still full. At a glance, I found that the child was staring at the backpack while eating noodles. He raised his hand and rubbed two hands on his head. The old man staring at someone else's bag can be regarded as a matter of trouble.
The child whispered in his ear, "He has something in his bag."
Shen Shi'an was helpless, reminding him with eyes that we had enough.
Between the two whispered, the man was already holding the seeds and Shen Shi'an looked at them. Most of them were tuber vegetables such as sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, and radishes. Although not the grass he wanted most, it was equally precious.
Counted in front of each other, a total of seventeen bales. "How about a bag of seeds for a bag of instant noodles, or a ham?" Shen Shi'an said.
Men seem a little incredible "really"
Shen Shi'an nodded. "Instant ham is fine, you can choose it yourself."
The man considered for a moment "Fifteen packs of instant noodles, two hams."
Shen Shi'an instructed the child to stand up and walk out of the door. After a while, he moved back to a box containing fifteen packets of instant noodles and two hams. As for the initial package of instant noodles and sausage chicken legs, "It's yours, change your two potatoes." It's an apology for the child's behavior.
The man carefully picked up the box, turned around before leaving, and said "thank you" to Shen Shi'an.
"You're welcome." After all, for Shen Shi'an, the value of the seed is much greater than instant noodles, and in the face of a peer who does not seem to be strong and also has children, the other side did not perform If anything, he wouldn't mind being kind. "Do you need a pot and water? I can."
The man shook his head, the alert on his face was running low. "There is a pot and running water in the back room of the shop. I just saw it. Thank you."
While the other party went to the back room to wash the pot and take water, Shen Xun put his gaze on his backpack again. Now Shen Shi'an is also curious, "What the are you looking at?"
Just following the child's gaze, I noticed that the bulging backpack suddenly moved.
The footsteps of a man walking backwards sounded in his ears, and Shen Shi'an quickly pinched the child's chin and twisted him over to "eat well." Perhaps someone had a pet in a backpack. This is not impossible. When Yun Feiyang left, he also brought a Ruibao. Less trouble, nothing to do.
While thinking about it, he held the potato that the man had exchanged for instant noodles in his hand. It was originally just a random look, but his eyes were stunned and the potato was newly planted. Even the mud was still moist.
Thoughts are moving fast, but just two laps and then stop and forget, who has no secret in the last days. Maybe the other party just found a vegetable field planted with potatoes near the town. As long as he and his children are not threatening, he has no reason to pursue it.
The cold water boiled in the pot, and the aroma of instant noodles quickly rose in the shop. Just as the other side was holding the pot to eat noodles, his backpack suddenly jumped up and fell back, as if something was struggling violently, and Shen Shi'an was so big that he didn't even think he could pretend to find it.
The man was panicked, his face was pale, and he was coughed violently by the soup. He dropped the pot on the ground at will, and quickly reached out and touched the bag. "Shh, shh"
He put his hands on the bag for a long time, and the backpack was quiet again.
Shen Shian thought to himself, it turned out to be a pet.
The atmosphere in the shop was tense because of the turbulence. It happened that he and Shen Xun had finished eating, extinguished the bonfire, carried the pot and backpack, took the child out, and informed the man by the way, "We rest in the car at night."
The man stood up and seemed relieved for a long time about the news. "Okay, I'm in there, just call me if you have anything."
Shen Shian nodded. He held the pot in one hand and carried the bag in one hand, and the child followed behind and walked out, and did not walk well. As he walked, he left and right kicked the small stones, kicked and kicked his body, and suddenly kicked the man's backpack .
The backpack fell to the ground, and I don't know why. The zipper that had been pulled so tightly opened more than half, and a human head rolled out from the inside. Something went wrong, refresh and try again
