4. Luck is also an ability
"I may have some ability, too," Ren Xiaosu said.
Yan Liuyuan, who was sitting at the door of the shack, was carrying the curtain to watch 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 beside Yan Liuyuan: "It's all legendary in the market town that some people can make a train from nothingness to reality. I didn't believe it before, but I believed it a little after seeing you. Now I may have a strange ability, and this feeling is very strange."
Yan Liuyuan's ability is luck.
This is a very inexplicable ability. When Yan Liuyuan made a wish that Ren Xiaosu could catch his prey, even if Ren Xiaosu walked in the wilderness and did nothing, a sparrow would inexplicably fall in front of him.
However, this ability has a backlash, and it usually reflects that Yan Liuyuan's high fever does not subside after making a wish, or other minor illnesses and disasters.
This is why Ren Xiaosu wanted to protect Yan Liuyuan at the beginning. He didn't believe it at first, but later he couldn't believe it.
Suddenly a meteor flashed across the sky. Yan Liuyuan subconsciously clasped his hands together to make a wish, but was stopped by Ren Xiaosu: "Don't make a wish randomly, something will happen."
Now Ren Xiaosu rarely uses Yan Liuyuan's luck. He said that it was because he was able to catch prey and there was no need for Yan Liuyuan's ability, and Yan Liuyuan never refuted it.
The thin Yan Liuyuan looked at the disappeared meteor and said, "Why do the meteor fly so fast? What if everyone doesn't have time to make a wish?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and said, "It flew fast, maybe because it didn't want to hear what you wish."
Yan Liuyuan turned around and looked at Ren Xiaosu in a daze: "..."
...
Yan Liuyuan is Ren Xiaosu's night watchman, but it does not mean that he is required to stay overnight. Ren Xiaosu will also be replaced in the middle. After all, Yan Liuyuan still needs to go to class during the day.
This situation is very painful, and not sleeping enough is a big problem, but living in this environment, neither Ren Xiaosu nor Yan Liuyuan have any choice.
In the early morning, Ren Xiaosu took Yan Liuyuan out, and brought all the valuable things with him, even his big iron pot.
No surprises were that when they returned to their shack at night, the shack must have been turned over.
"I heard that no one steals anything in the shelter and barriers," Yan Liuyuan carried the bedding roll on his back, and then watched Ren Xiaosu carry the big iron pot wherever he goes. This is almost all their belongings.
On weekdays, Yan Liuyuan has to carry a bedding when he goes to school, and other students are similar, and everyone is used to it.
"Far," although Ren Xiaosu was very yearning for life in the shelter barrier, he firmly did not believe that there were any places in the world where there was no room to close their doors at night: "Some people think that it would be fragrant if people in the shelter barrier fart, and the air would be sweet."
"Then you can't always run around with the blame," Yan Liuyuan said.
"What do you know," Ren Xiaosu explained: "I finally picked up this pot. It can cook and catch sparrows. How can we live without this?"
Ren Xiaosu carried the iron pot on his shoulder with one hand and held the huge sparrow with the other. When he was walking on the road, many people looked at Ren Xiaosu with envious eyes.
You should know that in today's species order, humans are no longer the species at the top of the food chain.
People say that the sparrows in the past were less than the size of a palm, but now? This thing can kill people with one mouthful.
Not everyone has the ability to catch sparrows, nor everyone has the patience to lie in the wilderness for a day and a night. Everyone hasn't seen meat and fish in a few years. It's fake to say that they don't envy Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu brought Yan Liuyuan to the gate of the shelter barrier. The towering walls gave people a great sense of oppression.
When we get here, the building changes and you can even see brick and stone houses.
The closer you get to the barrier, the cleaner, tidyer and richer it looks. The people living here all have more or less relationships with the barriers of refuge, perhaps because they are flattered, or maybe they have relatives inside.
But no matter what, these refugees are collectively called "polluted" people and cannot get into the barriers.
Ren Xiaosu walked into a room. The three words "grocery shop" were written on the door of the house, which contained cigarettes, matches, ironware, grain, and clothing, but the prices were all very expensive.
The old man in the room was particularly happy when he saw Ren Xiaosu: "This sparrow looks quite small!"
Ren Xiaosu threw the sparrow on the glass counter: "How much?"
"Oh, be gentle, this glass is precious," Lao Wang said with heartache, and then he threw the sparrow on the iron next to him: "Three pounds and six ounces, okay, Xiao Su."
At this time, the abacus in Lao Wang's hand started to ring, and the dry hands like chicken feet were like winding up. The abacus was rumbling: "Today's market is 200 yuan per pound, you're 700 yuan!"
"900," Ren Xiaosu said firmly: "It's winter almost, and there are fewer sparrows recently, and 900 can't be less."
Lao Wang was unhappy, so he pushed the abacus to Ren Xiaosu: "We are all sent to the barriers for food for nobles. There is no meat in the barriers, but everything has a price, so we have to follow the rules."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Wang saw Ren Xiaosu turning around next to the sparrow and preparing to go out. He quickly grabbed Ren Xiaosu's sleeve in his torn coat: "Where are you going?"
"I'll ask Lao Li's price for the grocery store," Ren Xiaosu said.
Lao Wang immediately grabbed a little bit of his hand. Today, there was a person in charge in the barrier who specifically explained that he wanted to collect wild game. More than his family knew about this news.
Lao Wang smiled and opened a large pile of wrinkles and said, "How much do you want to sell?"
Ren Xiaosu still wanted to leave: "I'll ask about the price."
Lao Wang smiled very amiable: "Didn't that delay the six yuan of school time? 900 is 900!"
"What are you talking about in the previous sentence?" Ren Xiaosu asked calmly.
"That's not a delay..."
"One more sentence."
"How much do you want to sell?"
“1200.”
Lao Wang: "???"
After a while, Lao Wang ordered the money with heartache and counted it over and over again with saliva, for fear that he would count the wrong number.
The final transaction price was 1198, and Ren Xiaosu also made his own concessions...
A sparrow is sold for 1198, not because the price is too low, nor is it because the sparrow is big, but mainly because there is no wild game in the shelter No. 113.
Things are precious because they are rare, and Lao Wang will not do business that loses money. This sparrow is sold to a powerful family. You can make a small profit by replacing the goods and putting some favors into it.
Lao Wang stuffed a lot of change into Ren Xiaosu's hands with a look of distress. At this time, he lowered his voice as if he was thinking of something, saying, "Xiaosu, don't kill me directly if you want to catch a sparrow next time. If there is a noble person who wants to live, the price is even higher!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment: "What are you going to live? Kill now and kill now?"
