Chapter 368 (1/2)

The topic between Old Sun and Old Six slowly was slowly carried away. Chu Yunsheng was new to the place, so sometimes he didn’t even understand what they were saying. He just quietly followed them while thinking, probably he needed to find another way to get out of the city.

…

“What? You want to collect bodies?” the old man was surprised.

Chu Yunsheng had asked another sick leave from Old Sun and went back to find him.

“Is there a problem?” Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows and used a dried tree branch to write on the ground. If this method couldn’t work, then he probably would not be able to think of another way in a short time.

The old man was confused and looked at Chu Yunsheng, “But… you are already a masked man. You don’t need to do this kind of menial work.” said the old man.

Chu Yunsheng thought for a second and then wrote, “I need to save more for the future.”

The old man looked at the ground and then looked at Chu Yunsheng. As if he suddenly realized something. He nodded his head and said, “you are right. You are still young, you should work harder for the future, okay. I’ll help you.”

Chu Yunsheng thought for a second, and then took out some of the food he had in his house and then wrote to the old man, “if you have any problem, use those. I hope you could get it done as soon as possible.”

“You just kept your food in your house like that?” The old man was surprised.

Chu Yunsheng nodded absently. Since the beginning of the dark age, unlike other people, food was always not his main concern.

Despite the fact that currently, he didn’t have “anything”, he still didn’t want to hide his food like other people.

To him, food was just food, it could never compare with the important things that he lost in the past.

However, to other people, food was always the most precious thing under the dark sky. Chu Yunsheng once again felt the importance of food to other people when he saw the old man bring a group of women who had clearly just cleaned themselves to his house the next day.

Chu Yunsheng looked at the old man in confusion and picked up the stick that he left on the side of his door and wrote, “ready to collect bodies now?”

The old man smiled and shook his head. “That thing can’t be rushed. I haven’t heard anything from the people that arrange those activities. Come… Take a look at those girls first…”

Chu Yunsheng frowned, he roughly knew why the old man brought those women here now.

“Achoo… don’t be shy, you are all young people, if you like anyone, just let them know straight away.” The old man suddenly sneezed and his body was s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably in the cold wind.

Chu Yunsheng wiped off the frost from his beard and quickly wrote, “I didn’t ask you to do this!”

“It’s fine, I understand. You told me that you need to save food for the future. It means that you are planning to settle down here. Since you are going to settle down, I thought that you need at least one woman to take care of you, and help you to…”

The more the old man talked, the more twisted Chu Yunsheng’s face was. Luckily the old man quickly noticed Chu Yunsheng’s blurry angry expression behind the mask. Although he didn’t know why he was angry, the old man eventually stopped talking.

After a moment of awkward silence, the old man coughed and said, “cough… cough… I have already applied for you. We just need to wait for them to tell us the time. This kind of job is both dirty and dangerous…”

Chu Yunsheng didn’t expect that it would be that easy to get a place. Looking at those girls that were still waiting for his reply. He wrote, “let them go.” Before the old man replied, he tightened his clothes and just left the house to go to work.

The old man looked at the girls and said, “sigh… you can leave now, he is not interested in anyone…”

All the women looked at Chu Yunsheng’s back in disappointment. All of them knew that the man was a mute, but they also knew that he was a masked man, and he was alone. To them, it meant that they would not be troubled by the food problem if Chu Yunsheng became their man.

Any one of those women in the group was considered to be the best candidates to partner with, in this living area. Although they were not beautiful, and many of them even had rough skin, they also had quite many advantages over those beautiful ones. They were strong and competent. Not a single one of them actually needed to be looked after by their men.
