The two walked for a long time under the scorching sun, and finally when the sun rose directly overhead, they saw a small town at the end of the road with intact buildings and many people. "Um, is that it?" "...Um!" "Thank you for your hard work. Let me down. I'll help you undress. Next... we have to walk over there." Anchorage didn't ask anything, just nodded in response. After loosening the restraints, he gently held Su Xin's hand, and the two of them walked towards the town step by step under the scorching sun. Chapter 652 What is the domineering middle school old-fashioned gangster girl (2 in 1 There are no gates or walls in the town, and no one is standing guard or checking identities. It looks like a simple human gathering place. Su Xin and Anchorage walked into the town easily and were glanced at by passers-by on the street, but they didn't attract much attention. This is a good thing. It is always necessary to keep a low profile. If someone were to target her, it would be difficult for her to deal with the situation since she is unfamiliar with the place. Fortunately, the first step went smoothly. Su Xin held Anchorage's hand tightly, picked a direction at random and started walking.
The town is very lively, with all kinds of people coming and going, including men, women, young and old, which is very different from the desolate scene outside. There were many stalls on both sides of the road, but very few were selling food. Su Xin didn't know if she was too late or if there were simply not many people selling food. She came here just to check out the place. If possible, it would be best for her to bring some food back. After all, the noodles were almost gone and the family was in urgent need of food. Apart from that, it would be best if you could buy pillows, quilts and clean clothes. What everyone wears now are relics picked up from ruins. Whether they look good or not is secondary. The main thing is that they are not clean enough. Even after washing and ironing, they still look awkward. Moreover, they were new here and not familiar with the road. Considering the journey would take more than three hours, Su Xin estimated that she would have to go back after just one visit, so she decided to just take it one step at a time. Anchorage didn't think too much about it. She had been here before with two other children, but she didn't have the resources to exchange for things, so she just passed by. Now that there was an adult leading the way, they naturally became interested and started looking left and right. But she was just looking at him. Anchorage knew that he had important things to do today, so he didn't run anywhere and had no intention of joining in the fun. However, Su Xin saw that she was interested and thought that she needed to get familiar with the environment first, so she simply took her by the hand to show her from stall to stall. "Come here, these are all excellent equipment and weapons. Whether you use them for self-defense when you go out, or take them home as backup, they are all excellent choices—" Su Xin glanced at the guns, ammunition, short knives and long blades displayed on the stalls and found them a bit outrageous. After all, as a good citizen of Donghuang, these things were always far away from her. However, many customers squatting in front of the stall also showed that the world today is indeed no longer what she knew it to be. Su Xin shook her head and walked back holding Anchorage's hand. She had knives and other things, but guns and the like were not as useful as the gun barrels of the ship girl at home. "Toys, toys, all kinds of toys, there are toys for adults and children - Ultraman, Transformers, remote control cars, XXX, the quality is absolutely guaranteed, don't miss it if you pass by -" Anchorage glanced at the Barbie doll in the lace dress and felt a little greedy, but he didn't say anything and continued walking with Su Xin. "Ancient cultural relics are on sale at low prices. Heirloom Tang Dynasty official kiln bottles, Han Dynasty Hetian jade, bronze wine jars, meteorite fragments are on sale at low prices. Hurry if you want to buy them." Su Xin was stunned. The meteorite fragment looked like an ordinary stone. The official kiln bottle from the Tang Dynasty looked newer than the bowls at home. The wine jar looked like an ashtray. She glanced at Anchorage, whose eyes sparkled, and thought, "It's just a trick for a kid."
After a quick walk around, Su Xin discovered that no one was selling food at the stalls, and the banknotes used for payment were different from those in her world, which was why she hadn't been able to withdraw supplies before. However, there was a smell of steamed buns in the air, which meant that there were still shops selling food. Su Xin followed the smell and saw a bun shop that no one visited. There were quite a few people squatting around the store, staring at the steamer while swallowing their saliva, but they were just looking and no one had any intention of buying. Su Xin felt strange, and since it was already noon and she hadn't eaten, she was really hungry, so she took Anchorage forward. "Hello, how much are the buns?" The clerk was a skinny boy. Hearing this, he glanced at Su Xin lazily with a bad attitude, "The price list is on the wall, can't you check it yourself?" Su Xin smiled good-naturedly and ignored the stunned clerk. She looked inside and found that the meat buns here cost 50. ......" "You can't afford it, right? If you can't afford it, just leave." The clerk came to his senses and waved his hand, "There's pork in there, and the ingredients are all real. It can't be reduced, no matter how beautiful it looks." Su Xin sighed and left amid the faint laughter from the people around her. In addition to the meat buns, the prices of vegetable buns and sugar buns in that store were also quite high. Even steamed buns cost ten yuan each. She really didn't expect the prices to be so outrageous. Moreover, Su Xin had no money on her, and the oil and diamonds would attract too much attention, and the other party might not accept them. She could only give up for the time being and plan to go somewhere else before making any plans. There are furniture stores, supermarkets, clothing stores and even seed shops in the town. Except for the high prices of food-related items, nothing else has changed much. After walking around, Su Xin memorized the locations of all the major stores. After twisting and turning a few corners, she entered a very inconspicuous little shop. 【when】 The space in the store is not big, with just a counter. Behind it sits a middle-aged man with a goatee, who fits the image of a profiteer in the drama very well. When the other person saw someone coming into the store, he stood up calmly as if he was used to it. When he saw Su Xin's face, he perked up and became more serious. "Oh, you're short of money, right? What do you want to give me as collateral?" Su Xin glanced at him and found that he was looking at her as if she were a cash cow, but when she thought that she was indeed here to exchange money, it was normal and she did not doubt it anymore. "Well, red diamond, do you want it?" "Ah? That thing is useless. One pill costs a hundred at most. Who wants something that can't be eaten or used now?" The boss stroked his beard. "Anything else?" Su Xin hesitated, thinking that if diamonds were not expensive, then oil, as the [food] of the ship girl, should be very expensive, so she took out a can of 5 units of oil. "Where is the oil used by the shipgirl?" The boss' eyes lit up when he heard this. He took the small jar and looked at it over and over for a long time. Then he suppressed his excitement and calmly discussed the matter. "This thing...is only a little more expensive than diamonds, but it's not easy to use as collateral. Once we receive the money, we won't return it." Seeing this, Su Xin wanted to take her things and leave, but the boss stopped her, "No, no, no, have you thought it through? I'm the only pawnshop nearby. If you go outside and get robbed or stolen, you'll be left with nothing!" Su Xin shook off his hand and rubbed it on her clothes, "Just tell me how much you can give." The boss didn't care. After thinking for a while, he gave a number. "5000, it's a little lower than the market price, but you didn't lose much. According to the rules, I can only give you half of the original price. This is already an exception!"
Su Xin didn't argue any more. She took the money and left. She still had to use the money to buy some daily necessities. As for food...she would ask someone else when the time comes. This boss didn't look very reliable. After Su Xin left, the middle-aged man who got the oil kissed the small jar hard, "It's rich, it's rich!!!" In his excitement, he caught a glimpse of two men and one woman who were quietly following Su Xin outside the store. He seemed to remember something, and hurriedly stuffed the oil into his trouser pocket, then picked up his mobile phone and made a call. "It's over, it's over... I finally found someone who meets my requirements, I don't want him to be ruined halfway..." "Hurry up and answer the phone. Hurry up and answer the phone. Hurry up and answer the phone. Ah, hello? Is that you, sir? Hahaha... I... I'm Mr. Li from the pawnshop." "No, no, no... Don't be angry. I, I didn't mean to disturb your nap. Just now, a woman who meets your requirements came to the store." "Ah... yes! She's tall, has a good figure, is young and pretty, and doesn't eat oil. You will definitely like her!" "Yes, yes, we just left not long ago, but I saw A Biao and the others following us. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid... "Ah, yes, yes, I'll keep an eye on it for you right now. Don't worry, Lao Li, I will definitely complete the task you assigned me, hehehe..." After Su Xin had money, she walked around the town twice and then went into a clothing store. The clothes sold in the store are all quite new, most of them are sportswear, and a very small number are skirts. The owner is a slightly fat middle-aged woman who came out from the counter after hearing the noise. "Hello, would you like to buy clothes? What kind do you like? We have many styles here. Do you want shoes? We have both sneakers and high heels." Su Xin squeezed the hand of the person next to her soothingly and answered, "Something casual will do. Do you have children's clothes?" "Ah... yes, yes. I didn't expect you to have a child at such a young age. How old is it? Is it a boy or a girl?" "... to my sister, maybe eight or nine." The boss took the two of them to the children's clothing area. Su Xin quickly picked out some loose-fitting clothes and pants, and after thinking for a while, she bought three pink skirts. Then he turned around, picked out two sets for himself and Anchorage, bought some shoes and socks, and handed them to the boss to pack. The total amount of these is nearly two thousand. The boss has made a big deal. He is smiling so hard that his eyes are almost gone, and the shopping bags are piled up all over the counter. Su Xin thought about it and asked the boss again, "Do you have any underwear?" The other person was stunned and nodded his head, "Yes, yes, yes, do you want to wear it? Or does the person next to you want to wear it?" "We want both. Just take us there and we can choose for ourselves." The boss didn't force them. He led the two to the clothes rack in the corner and said, "They are all here. Take your time to choose. The changing room is at the back. Just bring them over when you're done." Su Xin thanked him and briefly glanced at the dozen or so pairs of underwear. Apart from the ones with strange uses, there were only five or six that could be worn. After finding that the sizes were similar, she simply took them all, then turned her head to look at Anchorage, whose size was unknown, and said, "...Do you know your size?" Anchorage tilted his head and smiled at her innocently. Su Xin had no choice but to push the person into the locker room. She stood outside and asked him about it while holding the warm clothes. This was not the first time the store owner had seen this kind of operation, but the size was quite rare. After determining the approximate size, she went into the warehouse and searched for a long time before finding a set. "There is only one left, look..." There is no other way, just one set is enough, at worst I can wash them more often, it is better than wearing them without a change, right?
Su Xin asked the boss to pack it up and she sent the bra back herself. She waited outside to help choose panties while waiting for someone. In the end, she had packed four or five pairs of panties, but the person still didn't come out. "What's wrong? Are you having trouble?" "Sister..." Anchorage's soft voice sounded softly, "I don't know how to tie the rope..." After hearing this, Su Xin remembered that when she was binding someone's chest, she did feel the string behind her back. Tying the knot with hands behind the back seems to be difficult for a child... "Then sister come in to help you?" "...Um." After making sure that Anchorage agreed, Su Xin pushed the door open without hesitation, helped the other party tie up his clothes without changing her expression, and then put on her short-sleeved shirt along the heavy cruiser's raised hands. "I'll teach you how to tie a knot when we get back, okay?" "...good." Well-behaved children are always liked by people. Su Xin went out with a smile on her face. After paying about two thousand yuan, she took the pile of clothes handed over by the store owner and turned around to ask Anchorage to take them back to the space. The shop owner was quite surprised to find out that this was a ship girl. He glanced at Su Xin, whose hair was dry and yellow, and nodded as if he understood. "Well... put yourself first." Su Xin was stunned and quickly turned her head to look at Anchorage's expression. When she found that the other party didn't understand the subtext, she breathed a sigh of relief, but the cheerful expression was still gone. "Thank you." The shop owner also realized that he had run into bad luck, so he smiled awkwardly, said "thank you for your patronage" and watched the two people leave. Then she bought three quilts and five pillows, spending about five hundred dollars. When she put Anchorage into the space, Su Xin found that she always received some strange looks. This made her unhappy, so she paid the money and dragged Anchorage out. Rice was sold in a store not far away. There were many employees there, and probably because they were afraid of being robbed, Su Xin used the remaining two thousand yuan to buy two bags of rice and some fruit and vegetable seeds, and prepared to go home. The two walked out of the town hand in hand for not far when they suddenly heard a bell ring from behind and three ruffians on bicycles chased after them. One of them sat on the cushion without moving, whistled and shouted, "Hey! Girl, don't be in a hurry to leave. Where are you going? Do you want us to give you a ride?" Su Xin ignored him and pretended to get on Anchorage's back, but was grabbed by the woman who jumped over. "You saw it outside, didn't you? We are happy to help." "...What do you want to do?" Su Xin shook off the woman's hand and soothingly touched the frightened heavy cruiser, which was still young in mind. The other man laughed twice, "Brother Biao, you are really smart. You know this ship girl is stupid. Hahahaha. Okay, girl, give me the things you bought and the remaining money, okay?" Su Xin frowned, "Why do you think you can rob us?" The guy in the car pointed at Anchorage with a smile, "I've worked for Sir Sir before. It's called... Anchorage, right? It's a research ship but it's so stupid. It can only cry when it gets beaten. It's famous all over the world, hahahaha." "It's a tough world now. I understand you, so leave your things behind and let people go. Otherwise... you don't want to know where we buried those people!" Su Xin sighed and confirmed again, "You mean, if I resist, you will kill me? A repeat offender, right?" "That's good to know. Hurry up if you know what's best for you. There's no police station here to help you get justice." "......Hmm." Su Xin paused abruptly, then turned around and wiped the corners of Anchorage's eyes, coaxing him gently: "Be good, close your eyes and cover your ears tightly. Unless I call you, don't open your eyes if you hear anything."
Anchorage nodded, covered his ears obediently, closed his eyes and turned away while crying. The man sitting on the bike became increasingly impatient. He threw away his bicycle and prepared to do it himself. As a result, he saw the woman in front of him, whose face was as pale as paper, pulling out a knife from somewhere. Before he could react, he found that the scenery in his field of vision was spinning and blurry. Before he lost consciousness, he heard his companions' terrified screams and the dull thud of their heads hitting the ground. "..Sister Yixian said that eradicating the root of the problem is the best strategy." "what!" "Uh!"
