Chapter 122 I want to change food

"Sister, are there any more sweet potatoes?" The little boy put the ore bag down from his shoulder, and Shen Xun stopped packing it.

"There's one more thing, please put it up." The thin black arms picked up the ore bag on the ground. The sound of the collision between the ore and the weighing machine was particularly loud in the silent night.

Over eighty kilograms, Shen Xun weighed the sweet potatoes to him.

The little boy's exposed skin was also swollen from the alien mosquitoes, especially from the left side of his neck to a little behind his ear, where there was a bulge the size of a fist.

After giving him the sweet potatoes, Shen Xun turned around and started working. He lifted the weigher and put it in the trunk, then closed the box door.

The little boy didn't leave either. He held the sweet potato bag in his hand and stood aside watching Shen Xun busy until Shen Xun raised his feet and got into the driver's seat.

"Sister, wait a minute," the little boy walked to the car carrying the sweet potatoes.

"Is there anything else?" Shen Xun said as she closed the car door and buckled her seat belt. Her voice came from the half-open window.

The little boy was troubled for a moment, but he still said, "I...I found a mine."

When Shen Xun heard the word "mine", Shen Xun's hand on the seat belt paused.

"I don't have any tools, so I can only take a little every day. I can take you there," the little boy raised his hand and patted the car door twice.

Recently, more and more people were exchanging prospectors in the base, and he was not sure whether he could hold on to the mine.

If the news about the mine were told to the base, there would be very little food that could be exchanged for it. The best result would be to feed him with food from the base, but how long would he be able to eat?

"What do you want?" Shen Xun rolled down the window, stuck his head out of the car, and looked at the little boy standing under the window.

"I...I want to change food, and I also want to change a weapon for self-defense," the first sentence sounds very powerful, but the second sentence is a bit as thin as a mosquito.

But Shen Xun still heard it and said, "Okay, get in the car and lead the way."

Opening the passenger door, the little boy got into the car with his bag. The cool air conditioner in the car buzzed, and the little boy relaxed.

"Go this way," he pointed in a direction, and Shen Xun turned the car around, "turn left at the intersection ahead...turn right...".

In the dark night, there were many modified vehicles driving on this road. The trucks drove for more than two hours straight into the mountains until there was no way to go.

"How far is it?" Shen Xun stopped the car. There was no road ahead and he probably had to walk. He took out a bottle of water from his backpack and drank a few sips.

"It's right in front. Just walk for another half hour." The little boy looked at the bottle of water in Shen Xun's hand in surprise, licking his lips and looking away.

After slamming the car door shut, Shen Xun smuggled out an insulating suit from his backpack and put it on, with the little boy leading the way.

The little boy walked as fast as flying on the rugged mountain road. After walking a certain distance with his head bent, he turned and looked behind him. Unexpectedly, Shen Xun was following closely behind.

"What's wrong?" When he turned around for the fourth time, Shen Xun finally couldn't hold back his voice.

"No, it's nothing," with shock in his eyes, the little boy turned around and led the way honestly, without looking back.

Shen Xun looked at the little boy's back with deep eyes. He looked thin, but his hands and feet moved very quickly.

At the speed he is traveling at now, it is true that ordinary adults may not be able to keep up with him.

Half an hour later, the two finally arrived at their destination. The little boy gasped for air and sat down on the ground to rest.

Shen Xun opened the lid and drank some water, then waited for him calmly.

"The thing... is right down here," the little boy gasped, pushing away the stones pressing on the ground with both hands.

The rocks made a squeaking sound as they rubbed against each other. When the rocks were pushed away, the covered hole underneath was revealed, and the little boy jumped in first.

Shen Xun took out his flashlight and looked inside. There was a layer of hay underneath, which he should have made himself. Shen Xun also jumped down while climbing on the entrance of the cave.

The entrance to the cave is naturally formed, and the corridor can only accommodate one person. The walls on both sides are uneven, and there is half a piece of ore embedded in it, which was obviously broken by the little boy himself.

"Here," the little boy called Shen Xun from the front.

Shen Xun walked forward with a flashlight in his hand. In front of him was a mine that was more than 20 meters deep. The walls were filled with ores and crystals. When the flashlight passed by, the crystals still gave off a faint light.

Having collected so much ore, Shen Xun could tell at a glance how many kilograms of ore there were in this mine.

The little boy had been wary of Shen Xun since he entered the mine. What if this man saw so many ores and wanted to kill him and then take away the ores.

Shen Xun waved the black dagger in his hand and slashed it towards the little boy's arm. A mosquito the size of a palm was firmly attached to the little boy's arm.

Wow, the mosquito was cut in half by Shen Xun, its red bulging belly burst open, and blood splattered on the little boy.

Frightened by Shen Xun's actions just now, he became frightened when he saw the mosquito, and a bulge appeared on his arm where it was bitten.

"Thank you..." Shen Xun turned to look at him, turned around and walked back with a flashlight, the little boy following behind.

"What kind of food do you want to exchange for?" After leaving the mine, Shen Xun sat on the rocks and looked at each other.
