the beginning of the end

Chapter 51

The peddler was slightly fat, and his complexion looked much better than the average person's. When he saw the clothes of Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo, he immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Look, the things on my stall are all good." goods."

Shen Xi looked at the several hidden knives and daggers on the stall, except for one or two that looked relatively new, the rest were old objects.

"Boss, how do you sell this little dagger?" Mu Qiangguo asked, picking up a small and exquisite dagger from the stall.

The peddler glanced at what Mu Qiangguo was holding, and immediately said with a smile: "Brother, if you really want this dagger, you just need to give me [-] catties of food."

A dagger and thirty catties of grain are nothing before the end of the world, but in this society where grain cannot be grown, it is indeed not cheap.

During this period of time, although the two of them didn't come out, but with Shen Zhi's big speaker, they also knew about the prices in the village. Thirty catties of grain, at this time, can still make people live for a long time.

"Thirty catties of food is a bit expensive for this dagger, but the boss will give you a real price." Shen Xi stared at the peddler expressionlessly. Although he felt that he was not short of that little food, he didn't want to make people feel that the two of them were in vain. It's a rich man, I didn't see it, the glances and ears pricked up from time to time on the road next to him, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it has good intentions.

Although the two of them are not afraid, they also don't want their own house to be in trouble in the future.

The peddler was stared at by Shen Xi like this, and his heart was still a little twitching. The eyes of the man in front of him were cold and without any warmth, which really scared him. Although Tibetan knives are considered weapons, the small dagger they chose is too small, and it won't have any effect on killing mutant animals. The only advantage is that it looks good.

Thirty catties of food for a small dagger that you can only look at is indeed a sky-high price at this moment. He dared to shout like that just now, but he just felt that he had never seen these two people in this place, so he planned to meet them. Just luck.

"If you two really like it, I will give you fifteen catties of grain." The peddler just said something, but seeing that Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo were silent, he thought that he didn't change any grain today, so he immediately changed his words again, " Otherwise, ten catties, ten catties of grain, can't be less, two brothers, this dagger, brother, I also spent a lot of effort to get it, if it weren't for the current world, I really wouldn't take these These things are all old items for sale.” Having said that, the peddler looked at the dagger in Mu Qiangguo’s hand, showing a very reluctant expression.

Seeing that the two still didn't speak, the peddler said with a bitter face: "Two brothers, ten catties of grain can't be less."

Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo haven't agreed yet, but Mu Xibao, who is in his father's arms, couldn't bear it anymore, "Dad, the baby wants it, the knife is beautiful."

"The baby likes it, so Dad will buy it for the baby, okay?" After hearing what his son said, Mu Qiangguo handed the pocket dagger to his son, kissed his son, and said with a smile.

The reason why the two chose this small dagger naturally had their intentions, not to mention, among the weapons on the stall, this dagger was not bad for them.

What's more, this dagger is light and dexterous, after repairing it, it is just right for my son.

"Yeah." Mu Xibao grabbed the light dagger, saw that it was inlaid with many beautiful beads, and smiled happily.

There are new things to play with, of course Mu Xibao ignores the kitten who is playing with him.

Seeing that its little master was attracted by a bunch of broken things, the little cat scratched it with its paws a little unhappy.

It's a pity that its little owner is completely unaware of the depression in the kitten's heart.

Seeing that he had made a deal, the peddler immediately put a smile on his face again.

After looking at this thing, Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo also found a problem, because they didn't expect to buy something before they went out. So, they brought their son out. Naturally, they didn't bring anything..

Of course, at this moment, Mu Qiangguo didn't want Shen Xi to expose his spatial ability in front of so many people. He was not afraid of facing these people, and the most troublesome ones were those in the army.

Space ability, to put it bluntly, is a mobile treasury. In this era when everyone is short of food, no one knows how much food Shen Xi can take out this time, so how much food is there in his space.

Because, until now, Mu Qiangguo and Shen Xi have never heard of the appearance of people with space abilities, what's more, Shen Xi's space abilities are just a cover.

Mu Qiangguo was about to put his son in his arms to Shen Xi, when he went home to fetch food, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Brother Mu, Brother Shen, I didn't expect to meet you two here." Du Ziteng walked over and greeted with a smile..

Shen Xi nodded as a greeting.

"Brother Du, why are you here?" Mu Qiangguo was a little surprised when he saw someone coming, he really didn't expect that he would meet acquaintances when he came out.

"I just went out for a stroll. I didn't have anything to buy. In fact, I went out to patrol for a while, in case someone would make trouble in the village." In the last sentence, Du Ziteng's voice was a little soft.

Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo listened, glanced at the military uniform on Du Ziteng's body, understood without asking further questions.

"By the way, two brothers, what did you buy just now?" Du Ziteng asked.

Mu Xibao understood this time, and immediately took out the dagger in his hand, "This, Dad bought for the baby."

"Yo, it turned out to be a small dagger, do you like it, baby?" Du Ziteng himself had no children, so he naturally liked the cute baby very much, and teased, "Baby, do you still know me?"

, Mu Xibao glanced at Du Ziteng, and nodded seriously, this uncle came to Baobao's house for a lot of meals last time, he knew him.

Shen Xi hugged his son firmly and taught, "Baby, your name is Uncle Du."

"Uncle Du." Mu Xibao called obediently.

This is even rarer for Du Ziteng, wishing he could take him home and raise him himself, thinking, Mu Qiangguo and Shen Xi can raise their adopted son so well, especially in these last days, it is really not easy.

"Brothers, do you want more of this dagger?" Seeing that the three of them were chatting vigorously, especially when Du Zi vacated and was still wearing a military uniform, he couldn't help it when he saw it. landed.

"This is..." Du Ziteng glanced at the peddler in confusion.

Mu Qiangguo and the two regarded him as a friend, and they didn't hide it. They explained the reason.

After hearing this, Du Ziteng said with a smile: "I wondered what was the matter. It turned out to be this. Since I met two brothers here, Brother Mu should not go back. I will let the people under my hand settle the matter of the dagger later." , as a gift for the baby. After all, the baby called me uncle just now."

Seeing that Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo still had some hesitation on their faces, Du Ziteng said persistently: "Don't delay, both of you, although I don't have any extra food in the army, I can still distribute the meat of this mutated animal myself. "

"Baby, do you like the gift from uncle?" Du Ziteng was impatient with what the two of them were talking about, and simply teased the baby in Shen Xi's arms.

"Hmm. Hehe." Mu Xibao hid while laughing happily.

Du Ziteng was sincere, he was hypocritical when he refused, Shen Xi nodded, and Mu Qiangguo didn't say anything.

After solving the dagger matter, Du Ziteng specially sent Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo back to their residence. Along the way, some people who originally planned to defeat Shen Xi and the two dared not act rashly.

In the village, getting into trouble with the army is more troublesome than getting into trouble with two supernatural beings. What's more, judging by their posture, these two people have a pretty good relationship with this soldier.

They usually wander around in the village, but they often meet Du Ziteng, this soldier is not easy to mess with.

While walking and chatting, Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo certainly didn't forget to remind Du Ziteng to pay attention at night, and it's best to go to bed late.

Although Du Ziteng didn't know how the two of them were walking, when he said this suddenly, although he hesitated, he still had a little consideration in his heart.

Until late at night, nothing that Shen Xi was afraid of happened. However, in the sky outside, there was a continuous light rain, and the rain became heavier and heavier as we went to the back.

Hearing the sound of "cracking" rain outside, everyone lost their pajamas for a while. However, Mrs. Mu was getting older and couldn't stand it anymore.

As for the two children, they have long been lying in the arms of the adults, sleeping soundly.

The torrential rain fell for almost three full hours, when everyone began to gradually relax their vigilance.

Suddenly, Shen Xi's ears moved slightly. Hearing the voices from outside the village getting closer, he hugged his son immediately.
