Chapter 1 (1/2)
April 30, 1992.
Daxia Kingdom, Beishan Prefecture.
The moon is in the air, and the night is not like the night.
In the moonlight, a huge fierce bird flew over the city, making a sharp screech and rushing to the pedestrians below.
The streets were in chaos.
A sword light shot from the distance and ran through the head of the fierce bird.
Fierce bird's huge body, with inertia, hit a building, and the speed does not reduce hit the ground.
A team of people in black arrived quickly and took away the body of the fierce bird.
The chaotic streets are back to normal, pedestrians are talking and laughing, and become lively again.
If the ground didn't crack, there were no large blood stains and feathers, and there were no broken glass all over the ground, it would be as if nothing had happened just now.
Jiang CI is very calm. He just looks up at those people in black, then quickly lowers his head and looks at the vegetable stall in front of him.
We can't let people take advantage of the mess and let the dishes on his stall go smoothly.
He lived in this era for six years and saw many similar scenes in the news. At first, he was shocked, but now he is used to it.
One hundred years ago, after the great changes of heaven and earth, although human beings reestablished the social order, the new rising forces of warriors and the occasional monsters made the new social order still have a lot of chaos.
As a mobile stall vendor for survival, in this era, stalls can not avoid some trouble.
For example, being robbed.
Jiang CI lives in xinghuayuan community in Luming District, and the gate of the community is one of his stalls.
”Xiaojiang, haven't you closed the stall yet?” A tall and thin middle-aged man came to the booth of Jiang CI.
Jiang CI is not salty and bland. He doesn't pay attention to him.
This is his downstairs neighbor, nicknamed Pockmarked Li, with a sharp mouth and a sly face. He is famous for taking advantage of others.
Li Mazi looked down at Jiang Ci's stall to pick and choose.
On the stalls are fresh vegetables such as potatoes, vegetables and radishes.
Jiang CI is the youngest of the street vendors around here. He is thin and small. He looks like a bully.
People like Li Mazi often come here to take advantage.
Li Mazi picked for a long time, but Jiang CI really couldn't look down on it.
”Uncle Li, these are all my new products in the market. I guarantee that they are fresh and don't have to choose.”
”To choose, you always buy in the morning and sell in the evening. It's definitely not fresh.”
Without looking up, Pockmarked Li picked another potato.
Jiang CI rolled his eyes.
After a while, Pockmarked Li finally finished.
Jiang CI Maliu's weighing Bill: ”Uncle Li, a total of 9 yuan and 8 Mao.”
”Xiaojiang, I'm a regular customer of yours too. Nine yuan.”
”No problem, please go!”
”OK, give me two more green peppers, and come to take care of your business next time!”
Pockmarked Li's action is also very smooth. He grabs two green peppers from the stall and turns around with a bag.
”Xiaojiang, next time you meet someone like Pockmarked Li, don't give him a good look.”
Lao Yang, the owner of the stall next door, booed at Pockmarked Li.
Jiang CI said with a smile: ”Uncle Yang, in business, harmony is the most important thing. If I quarrel with him about one yuan, I will lose more than one yuan.”
”Your head is easy to use. I don't understand these principles.” Lao Yang shook his head.
Jiang CI smiles and silently adjusts the electronic scale back.
I'm kidding. In the past life, how can you say that you were also the elite of stall stalls? Can you be taken advantage of by people like Pockmarked Li?
It's eight thirty in the evening.
The dishes on Jiang Ci's stall are almost sold. I'm ready to take things home.
”Xiaojiang, take this old hen back. It's going to take the college entrance examination soon, and make up for your health.”
Lao Yang hands an old hen to Jiang CI.
”Thank you, uncle Yang. No, really.” Jiang CI waved his hand.
”We've been neighbors for several years. You don't have to be polite to me. Besides, I went to the market to buy food today. A boss gave it to me free of charge.”
Of course, Jiang CI didn't believe Lao Yang's words, but he refused, so he had to accept the old hen. He was very grateful.
Finally, he gave Lao Yang the vegetables left in the stall and drove home with the hen.
Apricot Garden is an old community, built in the new moon era.
It is the first residential area built in Beishan Prefecture after the great changes of heaven and earth. It is a refuge, so the planning is very crowded. All the houses are two bedrooms and one living room, with an area of less than 30 square meters.
It's also a miracle that it can be preserved until today, nearly 100 years later.
But today, Apricot Garden is a slum.
Jiang Ci was born again six years ago. In this era, he was a vagrant at first. After making money by setting up a stall, he rented a house here for a low price.
23rd floor, no elevator.When I got home, I had to walk with my waist.
”This body is too weak.”
No way, nutrition can't keep up.
After opening the door, out of the inner room came a little girl who was also malnourished.
The little girl used to have no name or surname, and she was also a vagrant. Later, her surname was Jiang Doudou.
Six years ago, when Jiang Ci was born again, he was so weak that he could hardly walk. He almost starved to death. It was Jiang Doudou who found food everywhere and saved him.
Since then, the two have depended on each other.
”Brother, the meal is ready. Wash your hands and eat now.” Jiang Doudou smiles and puts his slippers in front of Jiang CI.
Like Jiang Ci, Jiang Doudou is also very thin, like a bean sprout.
Although he is 13 years old, he is about the same height as Lao Yang's 7-year-old grandson.
Jiang CI changed her shoes and went into the room. She raised the hen in her hand and said with a smile, ”Doudou, look what I have with me?”
”Jiang Ci, you spend money recklessly again!” Jiang Doudou's smile disappeared and his face was straight.
”Well This is from Uncle Yang. ”
”You can't just take other people's things, don't you know?”
”I teach you all the things you say.” Jiang CI touched Jiang Doudou's forehead with his hand, and then said with a smile, ”don't worry, I'll give uncle Yang the rest of the dishes I sell today.”
”That's still like spending money.”
”Do you want to eat chicken...”
”I want to...”
Jiang CI smiles and shakes his head, carrying the old hen into the kitchen.
We can't blame Jiang Doudou for being stingy. It's caused by his previous experience as a vagrant.
Although he was born as a vagrant, he lived in a peaceful age in his previous life. After his rebirth, he quickly got rid of the identity of a vagrant.
And Jiang Doudou has been wandering since he was a child, hungry and full, so he has a strong sense of money.
In the narrow kitchen, Jiang CI began to kill chickens.
Jiang Doudou looked at it happily, and the sound of swallowing saliva rang out constantly.
”Stay away, don't splash your blood.”
Jiang CI said as he took a kitchen knife and ground it on the grindstone. He tugged at the old hen's neck and wiped it gently.
The old hen struggled hard, and she was very strong when she was dying. If she didn't hold it down, she would be covered with blood.
[you kill the mutant old hen, experience value + 5]
[you get experience value, successfully activate experience value panel]
the prompt sound suddenly sounds, which makes Jiang CI freeze there.
The old hen is alive and kicking, with blood splashing around her neck.
”Hey, hey, hold it down!”
The sound of Jiang Doudou's shouting brings Jiang CI back from the stupor.
”Jiang Ci, can you kill a chicken?”
”Mistake, mistake!”
Although made a body of blood, Jiang CI is very happy.
After he pressed the chicken again and looked at it carefully, he found that the chicken was really different. His eyes and neck were abnormal blood red, which was caused by the burst of blood vessels.
Mutant old hen?
”This chicken can't be eaten.” Jiang CI said.
”What? Why not? ”
