Chapter 201 The Red-Haired Guy Is Not to Be Messed With
As Grandma Xin looked at the four children who were like family to her, her kind eyes grew increasingly cloudy.
The valley has never been so lively.
The little guys acted like hosts, guiding the convoy.
They knew exactly where the water was cleanest, where they could bathe and soak, and where it was suitable for cooking.
The vortex cow, carrying its heavy shell, moved extremely slowly along the cliff, so slowly that it was almost overlooked as a relief sculpture integrated into the mountain rock.
But gradually, as the sun was about to set, the wide, spiral-patterned opening of the shell finally descended to a height almost level with the valley floor.
DouDou was the first to slip out of the shell, her bare feet landing on the damp pebbles with a soft patter.
Behind her, Master Wei and Doubao slid down together, while Kaochang clung tightly to Grandma Xin's clothes; she was the most timid of them all.
Grandma Xin didn't get down until Niu Niu had landed safely.
"They're all really kids..." The team members naturally paid the most attention to them, and Jiao Jiao couldn't help but peek out from behind Su Su and mutter to herself.
Fu Xiaojian endured the throbbing pain in his ribs and took two steps forward. "We are the Salary Train Team."
Dou Dou was confused by the extremely formal words. She turned to look at Grandma Xin. In her mind, this was the time when adults had to step in.
She was still a child.
Grandma Xin's cloudy eyes slowly swept over the people in the convoy.
His gaze swept over Xu Si's scarlet eyes, Ta Shan's burly body wrapped in bandages, and the rest of the convoy.
She managed a kind and gentle smile on her wrinkled face and patted DouDou's shoulder beside her.
"Welcome to this place. Niu Niu won't attack people, so don't worry!" Grandma Xin's voice was frail.
Her words were full of compromise and helplessness, because this was the only thing they relied on to survive.
She had no doubt that these people were capable of killing the vortex cow; she knew that the moment Xu Si appeared.
This is the apocalypse, and you can easily imagine what will happen to these people if they find any excuse.
No reason is even needed.
In the apocalypse, killing doesn't need any reason.
No one cares about their old age or frailty.
When civilization begins to crumble, morality becomes nothing more than the cheapest thing.
Grandma Xin, being from the lowest rung of society, has seen far more evil than good.
"I heard you have a lot of sweet potatoes, can we trade some with you?" Fu Xiaojian said.
Although they couldn't think of a solution, exchanging some sweet potatoes wouldn't cause them any trouble!
Grandma Xin softened her voice. "Niu Niu's plantation just harvested a batch of sweet potatoes a couple of days ago, we can trade some with you."
After he finished speaking, he beckoned to Master Wei and whispered a few words to him.
Master Wei nodded and then climbed back into the shell of the vortex cow.
"I'll go too!" The sausage was a little nervous with so many people watching, so it climbed back up.
"Grandma Xin, I want to go too!" Doubao was a little scared at first.
They definitely can't move much, so he should go and lend a hand.
But soon the three little guys took turns throwing sweet potatoes out of the vortex cow's shell one by one.
Fu Xiaojian glanced at Xu Si. He hadn't expected that these people, who all looked so old and weak, would have so many in stock.
The three little ones managed to harvest at least several hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes.
He didn't doubt that they could plant so many, but the harvest was a bit outrageous.
The largest sweet potatoes were the size of watermelons; they'd never even seen one, let alone eaten it!
"Is this enough? We also have some dried sweet potatoes." Grandma Xin's voice carried a hint of uncertainty.
Fu Xiaojian understood this feeling; if they were hungry wolves, this was their life-risking money.
However, it seems that only Grandma Xin knows this.
Several children, including Dou Dou, each carried a large sweet potato, just like in the countryside when entertaining guests from afar; they didn't think about exchanging them.
Exchange is the greatest desecration of sincerity.
They have plenty of these things; every five days, Niu Niu can produce several hundred kilograms of milk, and this is only a small part of their inventory.
None of them revealed how much they actually had; preserving their capital was a basic instinct for rural children.
Fu Xiaojian took a deep breath; the wound under his ribs was still throbbing.
My perception of this strange creature has increased several levels.
And that idea became even more urgent.
"That's enough." He nodded, turned to the team members, and signaled that the exchange could begin now.
Xu Si was also very curious about the taste of these sweet potatoes grown in the strange body, but he didn't have many resources at the moment.
Just as he was hesitating, a dark figure slipped right past him.
"I want it! I want it! I'll trade you some snacks!" Jiao Jiao's excessive enthusiasm startled the group.
"Okay!" DouDou finally regained her optimistic nature.
She had been reserved and hadn't said a word since they landed, but now she smiled broadly.
Sweet potatoes are very popular in the team, so many people are replacing them.
Grandma Xin was a little surprised, but looking at the little ones who were getting along well with everyone in the convoy, she smiled with satisfaction.
The whirlpool cow slowly crawled to the stream and began to graze on the plants.
There were plenty of sweet potatoes, but not enough for everyone in the team.
In particular, Chen Pei and Jiao Jiao, the two big spenders, got the most sweet potatoes in the exchange.
Xu Si traded several bottles of glucose for a few sweet potatoes.
In fact, glucose is not popular with children.
However, out of respect for their older brother and their ability to fly on swords, none of them refused Xu Si's offer to exchange.
In fact, if Xu Si could take them for a spin in the air, they would be willing to empty their pockets.
However, they dared not bring it up.
Because that older sister just said: "Red hair is not to be trifled with."
They thought she was right!
After the exchange, the pile of sweet potatoes turned into piles of snacks, all of which were snacks they had never seen before.
They didn't know the value, but they were fearless and would exchange anything given to them, like Xu Si.
"Big sister, you can't wash the sweet potatoes, they'll spoil if you do!" Jiao Jiao, dragging her weary body, was about to wash the sweet potatoes in the stream when Dou Dou couldn't help but remind her.
She actually has purification abilities, but she just doesn't use them.
She wanted to touch the water more, hoping it would make her swollen and red arms feel a little better.
Jiao Jiao looked confused. She rarely ate sweet potatoes, and her family rarely bought them.
Sweet potatoes are not plentiful in the south, so she mostly ate roasted sweet potatoes sold on the street.
I had no idea there was such a saying.
"Big sister, it can be stored for a long time with the soil on. When you eat it, just pat it like this to remove the mud, then wash it!" Dou Dou squatted down next to her and demonstrated very seriously.
She patted a sweet potato with her little hands, her movements very practiced.
Actually, these sweet potatoes were very clean, and no dirt fell on them when she patted them, but this was a necessary procedure.
Jiao Jiao's forearms were still red and swollen, so she couldn't exert any force. Su Su took them, patted them off in the same way, and then washed them clean in the stream.
