Chapter 38 Meeting
Chu Yao and others met on the fifth day after heavy snowfall.
On this day, she wore two ponytails and rode a homemade sled on her feet, skiing all the way in search of new blue crystals.
He accidentally bumped into Zhao Gang and others who were out looking for supplies.
At that time, Zhao Gang and his party were picking a newly discovered plant, whose fruit is similar to cotton.
They planned to take it back and let the women sew clothes.
While I was picking it up, I heard a sharp female scream coming from a distance.
“Ahhhhh——”
I saw a thick dumpling rolling down the landslide above and hitting Zhao Gang's thigh.
It bounced back with another grunt.
Zhao Gang staggered when he was hit and almost fell to the ground. The people around him hurriedly helped him.
The person on the ground couldn't get up for a long time, and everyone just listened to her muttering something about "seeking death without saving".
Just as he was hesitating whether to step forward and help her up, he saw her getting up on her own. It turned out to be a girl with two pigtails. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she looked quite good-looking. She had a pair of eyes.
Very bright.
That is, the behavior is somewhat inappropriate.
Seeing this girl silently rubbing her butt with one hand behind her back, many young men in the group turned red.
Zhao Gang frowned, where did a girl appear out of nowhere in this frozen world?
But out of morality, he still asked first, "Miss, are you okay?"
Chu Yao said "Ah", and after realizing it, she shook her head repeatedly and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine..."
As he spoke, he rubbed his butt, and he let out a slight hiss wherever he accidentally rubbed it.
After she finished, she looked at the group of people across from her and asked, "Do you think you are here to look for something as a group?"
This group of people carried bags or fish baskets in their hands, and carried machetes and shovels on their backs. The fish baskets also contained many plants. It was obvious what they were doing.
When Zhao Gang and his group faced a girl's family, they naturally had nothing to hide and admitted it directly.
One of the young men couldn't help but ask: "Looking at your young age, why are you here alone?"
Chu Yao: "I came out to play and look for something."
While talking, she took out a piece of blue crystal that she had left before and showed it to the person opposite.
"Have you seen this thing? If so, you might as well give it to me and I can exchange it for you with other things."
Zhao Gang said with great interest: "What about?"
Although he asked, he didn't believe that such a little girl could get anything good in exchange.
Chu Yao said slowly: "For example, the cotton clothes and food you need most."
As soon as Chu Yao finished speaking, she could clearly see that the faces of the people opposite her changed and became excited. Some people even showed joy on their faces, but they soon became calm again.
"I said you're a little girl. If you have nothing to do, go home and act like a spoiled child to your parents. Why don't you come here to play with your grandpa?"
The speaker was an old man in his fifties or sixties with gray hair on his temples, and his tone was not very good.
When the young man who spoke earlier heard this, he couldn't help but stood up and criticized him, saying, "I said, Uncle Liu, why are you so mean to a little girl?"
He turned to Chu Yao and advised: "Little girl, you should go home and play quickly. We are busy and have no time to listen to your jokes."
He regarded what Chu Yao just said as a "joke". Obviously, like Uncle Liu just now, he did not take what Chu Yao said seriously.
Not just the two of them, but the rest of the team as well.
Chu Yao looked at the leader Zhao Gang and asked: "My name is Chu Yao, what is your name?"
The topic changed too quickly, but for the sake of politeness, Zhao Gang still said his name: "Zhao Gang."
"Oh," Chu Yao nodded, and then said: "Are you the boss of this group of people? They should all listen to you. Tell me, do you want to do this business with me?"
Zhao Gang was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Chu Yao stretched out her hand to stop him, "Don't say anything yet, wait for me to get something."
After saying that, she started to run up the hillside. The place was already flooded by water, but after being flooded by heavy snow, there was an extra slope. Chu Yao just slipped down from that slope.
Seeing that the person had disappeared, Zhao Gang sighed, turned around and said to everyone: "Don't be stunned, continue collecting. We will go to other places later."
The reason why he was willing to listen to Chu Yao's nonsense just now was because the other party's eyes gave him a sense of familiarity. Now that the other party has run away, he doesn't have to waste any more time.
If she is allowed to delay any longer, without saying anything else, Uncle Liu may really want to stand up and hit someone. It will be difficult for him to stop him, and it will be difficult for him not to stop him.
Not long after the group had been busy, they heard a familiar shout: "Ahhhhh-"
Looking back, I saw Chu Yao sliding down the slope quickly, her two braids flying high, drawing jumping arcs in the air.
Fortunately, with divine help this time, Chu Yao slid down steadily and landed in front of Zhao Gang without falling.
Looking at Chu Yao who was close to him, Zhao Gang silently retracted his foot that was about to retreat. Fortunately, he didn't hide just now, otherwise it seemed like he was afraid of being knocked down.
Just as Zhao Gang was about to speak, he saw Chu Yao take out a baggage from behind and dump it on the ground in front of everyone. Inside was a small bag of rice and a few cotton clothes and trousers.
"This is……"
The expressions of Zhao Gang and his group finally changed, and their gazes stayed on it for a long time, unwilling to leave.
Chu Yao put her hands on her hips and said, "How about it? I'm not lying to you. I do have a lot of things on hand. If you want it, just trade this blue crystal with me."
Zhao Gang looked at her with a complicated expression and asked a question that everyone in the group wanted to know: "Aren't you afraid that we will catch you and force you to take out your things?"
The people behind nodded, yes, yes, isn’t this little girl a little stupid?
Aren't you afraid that they are all bad people?
Chu Yao showed a mysterious smile and said proudly: "You can't catch me."
"Hey, you little girl, you underestimate us, don't you? We, a group of grown men, can't catch you, a little girl?"
The young man couldn't help but speak.
Uncle Liu next to him couldn't help but nodded.
Although he is a bit older, he can still handle such a big girl.
Chu Yao looked at the crowd and decided to show them her hand. She said something to 007 in her heart and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Where is this person?!"
"Yes, where are the people?"
"I'm going to see a ghost in the clear sky!"
"Uncle Liu, what's wrong with you, Uncle Liu?"
A different voice came out among the exclamations of a group of people. Everyone couldn't help but look back and saw Uncle Liu being supported by the people next to him. His body was shaking slightly and he kept saying: "It's over.
Chapter completed!
