tall and rhubarb

When the sun went down that evening, Gao Chang took Da Huang and got into Bai Bao's car.This guy Bai Bao brought less than No. 30 people in total, and he drove five cars. Needless to say, Gao Chang also knew that there must be a lot of salt in the car. The central and western regions are far from the sea. If the salt is transported there, it will definitely fetch a good price.

Relatively speaking, Gao Chang’s luggage is much simpler. Apart from a few sets of clothes, they only brought a pistol, some bullets, and a few bottles of canned food. Gao Chang didn’t plan to stay outside for a long time. Just set foot on the return journey.

All the obvious food at home was sent to Chen Yuzhen and the others, and the people in the yard ate it first, and when Gao Chang went back someday, they would share some of the public food, which was equivalent to depositing.There was nothing to do with the grain, rice and noodles in the cellar, so I had to put them away until he came back to make plans. For the time being, there was no need to worry about things like salt, white sugar and honey being expired.

Before leaving, the people in the yard told Gao Chang to get some seeds from outside. The existing vegetable varieties in their village are not enough. They used to buy seeds for leeks and celery, and everyone didn’t have the habit of saving seeds. , this time Gao Chang went far away, so he would bring some when he saw it.

Gao Chang and Da Huang rode in the same car as Bai Bao. When they arrived in the town, Situ's team followed behind. Bai Bao's car opened the way, followed by his other four cars, and behind him was Situ. cars and their vans.

Bai Bao and the others made thorough preparations and brought a lot of quilts. After the car was on the road, everyone spread out the quilts and made a big floor bed. Everyone slept sideways in a row. Gao Chang and Da Huang slept in the innermost position. On the first night, it was not their turn to drive and watch, and they opened their doors to sleep. It was the coldest time of the year, and the person and the dog hugged each other when they fell asleep.

The convoy first drove north, and when it was about to cross the river in the early morning, Rhubarb woke up, crawling around under the covers, but Gao Chang had no choice but to get up.

"Hey, you're finally awake. We just said whether we should wake you up." An oil lamp was lit in the carriage at some point, and several of Bai Bao's brothers were playing cards.

"Are you there?" The time seems to be still early.

"No, we'll be at the riverside in a while, brothers, get some food together."

"Did you bring enough food?"

"Right now there is food everywhere, what food to bring, guns and bullets, and some salt, everything is ready."

"Only salt?" Gao Chang sat on the bed bowed, he had already begun to miss Chen Yuzhen's craftsmanship.

"Hey, that can't be done. We brought all the seasonings we should bring. When we get to the riverside, let's get some crabs. I heard that the crabs by the riverside are the fattest."

"There are still crabs in winter?" Do you have to be hungry on the first day when you go out?This guy Bai Bao is really unreliable, he knew that he would come out carrying rice.

As the river got closer and closer in the car, from time to time, something could be heard under the wheels being crushed. One of the wheels of Gao Chang's car was punctured by something, and the car was driving a little bit. Diagonal, the brother driving in front asked Bai Bao what to do, Bai Bao said to drive farther away.

"Under there, is there a crab?" Gao Chang asked uncertainly.

"Come and see." Bai Bao beckoned to him, then took a flashlight, lifted the tarpaulin behind the car, the light of the flashlight shone on the side of the road, from time to time you could see big crabs with green shells panicking Crawl around.

"Damn, is this a hairy crab?" Gao Chang's eyes were good, and he saw the pinches of hair on the claws of the crab, but this head is really exaggerated. Although everything grows crazy these years, it is understandable when you think about it, but When you see it for the first time, you will inevitably be shocked.

"How about it, have you learned a lot?" Bai Bao has been running outside all year round, so he has seen more things than Gao Chang.

"Are you going to let your brother shoot with a gun?" Gao Chang laughed a few times. Crabs are not like mammals. Crabs will stop eating if they have a hole in their body. They can move a few times even if they are chopped into two pieces. With a gun, a crab might not be able to handle it with a single shot. Besides, even if it is killed, it may not be able to get into the car. With the current situation, Gao Chang does not believe that Bai Bao really dares to park in this area.

"Hehe, if Gao Chang is willing to make a move, we will naturally save a lot of bullets."

"Who is with you and us?" They are the ones who save bullets, and they are the ones who contribute. All fools know who loses and who gains. "One crab, two bullets, the car doesn't have to stop, how about it?"

"One." Bai Bao countered.

"You don't need to stop the car, brother. If you dare to park in this place, it's hard to say whether you can start it again later. Besides, you, Uncle Situ, needs to know that your kid didn't bring any food in order to load more salt, and it was delayed." Everyone, let's see how he deals with you." The official surnamed Situ, on the surface, said that he was very close to Bai Bao, if he was really that close, would he be able to lead the way with his brother?

"That one and a half. If it doesn't work, everyone can eat wild vegetables. There is a large plain ahead, and there are all kinds of vegetables you want to eat." If you are not in charge, you don't know that rice is expensive. Less is more.

"Success, borrow your brother's AK47 to use." One and a half is one and a half, anyway, catching a few crabs is like a game for Gao Chang.

"It's easy to say, the bullet counts." The young man named Heizi said and threw the gun over.

"A bunch of old picks."

Gao Chang cursed, and grabbed a coin from his pocket. This thing can no longer be used as currency. The dolls in the village use them as toys. Gao Chang also likes to put a handful of coins in his pocket. It’s okay. Throwing and playing, exercise your eyesight and reaction speed.

He stretched out the car with a coin in one hand, flicked his thumb, and the coin flew into the air, then shot the AK47 into the sky, stretched his arms, and when he caught the coin again, the middle of it had been pierced by the bullet. A round hole came out.The boys in the car are all confused, what is this called?It's not easy to hit a coin with a bullet, let alone a coin that flies into the air. Don't forget, their car is still driving, and inertia has to be counted.If this damn man comes here a few more times like this, will the brothers still have the face to play with guns?

"Hiss, it's fucking hot." Gao Chang threw the coin onto the cart, then turned to ask Bai Bao, "Is there any rope? It should be thinner and stronger."

Bai Bao smiled and asked the brother at the front of the car to hand over a small bundle of high-strength nylon rope, and pulled out the end of the thread: "One meter, five crabs, no bargaining."

One meter of noodles needs to be exchanged for five crabs, so if he wants five meters, he will need 25 crabs.

The thin and soft nylon thread passed through the coin, tied several knots tightly, and reached out to borrow a flashlight from Bai Bao. It's not that he couldn't see it, but it was dark at night and the car was always moving. If you had to use the five senses to detect it, The mental consumption is too great.Bai Bao really deserved to be a profiteer, he rented a flashlight, which cost him twenty bullets.

Gao Chang sat cross-legged at the back of the truck, he had already hung up the tarpaulin curtain, and looked for crabs on the side of the road with a flashlight. Once he saw him, he would throw out the coin in his hand, and the coin tied with a rope was wrapped around the crab's claws. After a few laps, Gao Chang shook his hand, and the crab flew towards the truck. Rhubarb was waiting beside him, and when the crab flew in front of him, he held it down with a wave of his claws.

This crab really deserves to be a good crab that Bai Bao is willing to exchange for one and a half bullets. It is big and heavy, and it weighs more than two catties each. The crab claws are strong and powerful, and there must be a lot of crab meat inside. There must be several taels of crab roe inside.With the size and density of the crabs nearby, once the convoy stopped at this place, the consequences would be unimaginable. The crabs could forcefully drown them.

After the convoy crossed the bridge, Gao Chang caught it for a long time, and the crabs on both sides of the road gradually disappeared, and the sky began to gradually brighten. The convoy stopped on a vast grass field. There seemed to be no stronghold for them nearby. Situ naturally The convoy would not be allowed to rush into crowded towns. Anyway, the tarpaulins used by their cars were thick and breathable. As long as they were not attacked, they didn't need to worry about being exposed to the sun when they spent a day in the wild.

Bai Bao meanly carried a bunch of crabs to curry favor with his Uncle Situ, and sent his brother to dig wild vegetables nearby. This piece of grassland-like place used to be farmland, but when the blue sun came, everyone I don't care about so much land anymore, it's just so barren, crops and weeds grow wildly one after another, and vegetables grow like wild vegetables.

Both Gao Chang and Rhubarb don't like to eat wild vegetables, especially when there is no rice. Although Rhubarb doesn't like crabs very much, it still likes crabs more than boiled wild vegetables.Gao Chang lit a fire to roast crabs, and one of Bai Bao's men in charge of cooking came over with a tooth jar, which contained the fragrant marinade he had just cooked, and a small brush.

"Hey, thank you." It came just in time, and Gao Chang stretched out his hand to pick it up with a smile on his face.

"You're welcome, three crabs." Such a strong man asked Gao Chang for crabs.

"Hey, let me tell you, there are quite a few of you there, right? Why are you trying to trick me again?" Just now that fellow Bai Bao shamelessly bargained again, taking several crabs for nothing.

"Our boss said that today, each person is allowed to eat only one, and if you are not full, eat wild vegetables to satisfy your hunger."

"All right, three are three." Gao Chang's eyes were quick, and he reached out and caught three male crabs from his pile of crabs. The male crabs had no roe.

The grilled crabs were smeared with sauce, and the aroma immediately overflowed. Gao Chang ate three of them by himself, and the speed was very fast. The crab shells next to him quickly accumulated a large pile. Very influential.Rhubarb chewed a crab, and then stopped without interest. He listened with his ears up. "I'm going to catch some voles."

"Then hurry up, the sun will come out soon." After thinking about it, Gao Chang still felt uneasy. Da Huang's nerves were thicker than electric wires when he got thick, and this place is strange, so don't let anything happen to him. "Forget it, I'll go with you."

"Gao Chang, where are you going?" Bai Bao came over from Official Situ and the others at this moment.

"Look around, don't touch my crab, ah!"

"No! Don't worry, go." Bai Bao waved his hands with a smile.

The voles are not very easy to catch, but it is the early morning hours, most of the animals do not come out to move around, the voles family is very diligent, unfortunately, they were spotted by Rhubarb, and when they left the hole, they rushed to chase them on the grass for several times. In the circle, all the vole family was arrested, a total of two big voles and four small voles.

Gao Chang skinned the voles with a knife, washed them in a nearby pool, held their tails in his hands, and estimated that they weighed more than three catties. The animals these days are really good, but they are fierce. , Just now these field mice jumped up and wanted to bite the flesh on Rhubarb's belly. The movements were so sensitive that most people couldn't bear it, but they were all knocked unconscious on the grass by Rhubarb one by one.

These voles are roasted. They should be enough for the rhubarb to last for another day. If it doesn’t work, just open a can.This plain area is different from their mountains. In the past, because all the land was reclaimed, the species were very single. The insects and the like were almost poisoned by the insecticides year after year. Even the number of snakes and rats was small. many.As soon as the blue sun shines, almost all of them die, leaving behind a few small lives that can reproduce in a short time, so the species on this grassland is not too rich.

When he was carrying the field mouse and was about to walk back, Gao Chang suddenly felt that the smell in the wind was not right, and Rhubarb stopped in his tracks.

"What is it?" After all, the tall and long nose is not as sharp as rhubarb.

"Wolf pack." As soon as Da Huang finished speaking, Gao Chang himself saw a group of wolves running towards them from the east. Damn, didn't you see that big pair of people over there? Why did they just stare at them? The two of them?

"Wolves and dogs are close relatives, right?" It would be great if they could be settled peacefully. The sun should come out in a while. Such a large pack of wolves can't be dealt with in two or three times.

"They are wolves, we are dogs, we have no relatives." Rhubarb snorted.

"Are the languages ​​interlinked? Do you discuss it with them?"

"No." Rhubarb held its head high, it is a descendant of the Inugami, why should it compromise with these wolves.

"Don't be stubborn, hurry up, there's no time." The wolves are already in sight. Once they enter the tug-of-war and are exposed to the sun, it's hard to say whether he and Rhubarb will survive. Situ and the others are here. When those guys use some modern advanced weapons, Gao Chang and Rhubarb's cultivation base is not at home. Even if they successfully mutate, they will be caught in the laboratory and slaughtered as guinea pigs.

Rhubarb grinned and showed his teeth, with a face of reluctance, but it also knew that Gao Chang was right. It hadn't transformed yet, and Gao Chang's strength was only average. Under such circumstances, it attracted too many people's attention , It is absolutely harmful to them but not beneficial.So it stretched its neck, raised its head and howled: "Wow..."

The pack of wolves stopped when they heard Rhubarb's howling, and looked at the head wolf hesitantly. Their head wolf was covered in white, except for a circle of long black hair around its neck. After the cry, he grinned disdainfully, raised his head and howled too: "Wow..." The howl was louder and longer than Rhubarb, as if he was demonstrating.

Rhubarb didn't wait for its voice to subside, it had already pounced on it, knocked the wolf away with one paw, Gao Chang also felt that the wolf was very weak, so he didn't stop him anymore, stood aside with a gun in his hand, and the wolves didn't move , he does not move.

The head wolf came back to his senses and soon entered into a fighting state. His body, baptized by blue sunlight, was very strong and agile, but at this moment, Rhubarb's small universe was burning. As a descendant of the dog god, he was actually despised by a wolf. If the memory is passed on, where will its face be placed? This is simply a shame to the dog clan.

The wolves watched their leader wolf being slapped into the soil time and time again by rhubarb, and their morale began to drop a little. Finally, when it ran away with its tail between its legs in disgrace, they all withdrew.

"Wow!" Rhubarb ran after them for a few steps, and scolded: "Grandson! Don't run away!" It's just a successful mutation. In the eyes!

"Damn it, hit me every time I see you!" Gao Chang resolutely supported Da Huang this time.
