Dawn of a New Era Chapter 68: : Staying (3)
Early the next morning, Chen Shouyi accompanied his parents to find a rental house.
Houses are not difficult to find. In the current situation of no electricity and lack of orders, most factories have been closed, and many migrant workers have also rushed home, so there are not many houses to be rented out.
"Oh, elder sister, this can't be cheap anymore. Before, 1,500 people were rushing to rent, but now it's only 1,200, which is much cheaper." The landlord is about 40 years old. A well-dressed middle-aged woman, gentle, looks like a cultural person.
But bargaining has nothing to do with gentleness. This is the natural ability of every middle-aged woman.
"You also said that it was before, now who is still renting a house, if we don't rent, you will only be free here, one thousand can not be more." Of course, Chen's mother's bargaining ability is not weak in the slightest. Tao.
"Oh, isn't this temporary? There can be power outages all the time. Once the electricity comes, the house price will rise."
"Selling and selling are all based on market prices, but it doesn’t matter whether there is an appreciation ability. When the call comes, I don’t know when?"
……
The two women started bargaining.
The two brothers and sisters of Chen Shouyi and Chen Dawei stood beside them in a daze, unable to get in at all.
More than ten minutes later, in the end, Chen's mother was the best one, and the transaction was successfully completed every month for 1,000.
The house is a five-story self-built house. From the fourth floor up, the landlord’s family lives, and the first floor is rented to another family.
The remaining second and third floors are still empty, and Chen Shouyi's family chose the third floor.
For the purpose of renting out, the landlord deliberately built an open-air staircase on the outside of the house, but it didn’t have to be troublesome to pass through the first floor.
Because there is less luggage, it didn’t take long to move.
But the next purchase took a whole day. Whether it’s pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, or various daily necessities, pillow covers, they all need to be repurchased, even clothes after the fall. To repurchase.
At dinner in the evening.
Chen Shouyi looked at Mother Chen's frowning brows and couldn't help asking: "Mom, are you out of money?"
"This is all an adult's business, so you don't need to worry about it." Mother Chen said subconsciously, but immediately felt something wrong after speaking.
Last night, she turned around and couldn't sleep all night. It was not all because of fear. Most of the time, she had been thinking about her son's attitude of treating life and nothing if nothing happened after the murder.
Although my son has helped the family kill chickens and fish since he was a child.
But murder is different after all. Even if she and her husband watched it from a distance, they both looked flustered and frightened.
As a result, his son seemed to be okay afterwards. He not only cleaned the scene calmly, but also pulled out the arrows from the corpse one by one.
She felt that her son must have killed someone for the first time, otherwise she would not be so calm at all.
Since it can kill people, robbery is even easier.
If you think your family is out of money, will your son rob?
The more she thought about it, the more disturbed she hurriedly said: "If the cash is enough in a short time, I'm worried about the deposit. Will it be troublesome?"
Chen Shouyi said unconsciously. "Don't take it for the time being to avoid leaking information. If I don't have money, I still have some on hand."
"How many do you have?" Mother Chen asked quickly.
"It's nearly 10,000 yuan!" He took this 10,000 yuan from the bank last time, and he spent a total of hundreds of yuan in the past few days.
Chen's mother was relieved when she heard that, she listened to Chen Shouyi and continued: "In addition, I still have a few pieces of gold. If I sell it, I can sell it for twenty to thirty thousand."
He didn't dare to say more, because he was afraid of scaring his parents.
In fact, the gold sand he has accumulated during this period has been more than two kilograms. Even if the purity of the gold sand is only more than 80, it can sell for about 300,000 in the black market. If you add deposits, he is now young There are half a million small ones.
"Where did you get the gold?" Mother Chen immediately said with a serious face: "By the way, I haven't asked you why you have a bow and a sword?"
Chen Xingyue couldn't help looking at his brother, so she wanted to see what reason he could make up.
"Uh, gold is actually natural gold. I picked it up by the stream. I sold some money and bought a bow and a sword." Chen Shouyi was startled, and quickly said the excuse he had thought about.
"How much did it cost?" Mother Chen doubted.
Now she doesn't believe a word of what this son said.
I even picked up gold by the stream. Some gold has been picked up long ago, so it's your turn?
This son was still very good before, and he listened to her the most, telling him to go east and dare not go west.
I don’t know when it started, so I don’t even know it.
If it hadn’t happened this time, who would have thought that his son would still have this side? It is estimated that the two people who monitored his house last night were not knocked out by him, but killed by him. Up.
"It’s more than 100,000. They are all second-hand." Chen Shouyi said, in order to prove that, he returned to his room and found a few larger gold nuggets from the small pocket of the backpack. Clanging sound:
"I discovered a lot at the beginning, but now there is only this."
"Then what do you buy a sword and bow for?"
Mother Chen glanced at a few gold pieces, and she was waiting to ask again, but Chen Dawei interrupted aloud: "
"Don’t ask, Shouyi, take the gold back, your parents are not old enough to support this family.
Now that you have grown up, you also have your own secrets. We won't ask more, and your parents are ordinary people and can't control them anymore. But you must abide by your own bottom line, and you must never do anything illegal. "
Chen Shouyi was moved when he heard it, and quickly nodded: "I see, Dad!"
……
In the bedroom at night, Chen Shouyi sat on a chair, held his breath, and stared at the candle closely.
The candle swayed slightly imperceptibly.
"There is still a weak power, although it has almost become like nothing." Chen Shouyi thought secretly in her heart.
Once he arrived on Earth~IndoMTL.com~ his stat panel's natural ability to "control the atmosphere" has disappeared. But he found that this ability has not completely disappeared, and he can still slightly interfere with the operation of the air.
It’s just that the ability is too weak, so it doesn’t show up on the property panel.
After a while, he drew his sword.
He recalled the feeling of energizing the last time in his heart, so he concentrated, and leaned against the flame a little bit.
When the tip of the sword approached the flame, the flame suddenly trembled violently, as if a breeze was blowing from the tip of the sword.
He stopped, and again at the same speed, a sword slowly pierced out. The difference from the first time was that his mind was relaxed this time.
This time, the flame didn't shake much from beginning to end.
"Is this the ability to control the atmosphere? Or is it some other unknown power?" He wondered: "However, the degree of deviation of the flame just now seems to far exceed his own power to manipulate the atmosphere."
At this moment, his heart moved, and he walked out of the bedroom and found a box of tofu from the kitchen.
Then tore open the package, poured dry water, cut a small piece, and put it upright on the desk.
immediately gathered his mind, aiming at the tofu with the tip of the sword, and piercing it out again little by little.
He keenly noticed that when the tip of the sword was less than three centimeters away from the tofu, the surface of the tofu began to vibrate slightly. When it approached one centimeter, the tofu filaments, as thin as hair, continued to fall from the surface. Come down.
Chen Shouyi immediately retracted his sword and looked at the piece of tofu carefully for a while, looking surprised.
I saw that the surface of the tofu seemed to be repeatedly split by some force, and a narrow gap about three to four centimeters long and less than half a millimeter thick appeared.
When he sliced the tofu vertically with a sword, he found that the deepest point was actually one centimeter deep.
"Could this be sword energy?"
