“They have guns.”
“So?”
“They also have many people.”
“So?”
“They also have military troops.”
“So?”
He Xiaoning looked at Chu Yunsheng, who was taller than her, in confusion. The man didn’t seem to be scared of the guards at the checkpoint at all.
After entering the city, she thought that the neat tanks and armored vehicles hidden behind the earth wall would make the man more or less afraid, but she did not expect he still did not show any sign of fear. Where did this man get all his confidence from?
But then again, this man also didn’t show any fear when facing the pig-headed monsters.
He Xiaoning had a hunch that if they stayed here, sooner or later, this man would have a conflict with those people again. Thinking of this, she said, “I heard that the Indians here have a very good relationship with the strange cavalry called Night Cavalry. Many pig-headed monsters were killed by the Night Cavalry. It’s said that they are very powerful… So should we stay here for a night? If you don’t like this city, I can ask around and see if there are any Chinese camps nearby.”
In terms of asking for information, He Xiaoning did a better job than Chu Yunsheng.
Chu Yunsheng knew what she was worried about, but he didn’t keep it in mind. He thought for a second and said, “You can ask around, but don’t worry too much. In fact, the reason why I came here is to look for the Night Cavalry. Otherwise, you think I would like to enter this city?”
“Look for the night cavalry?” He Xiaoning looked at Chu Yunsheng in surprise? Why would this man want to look for the night cavalry? Who was he?
While speaking, they arrived at a tent-free open space. According to the information given by the guards at the checkpoint, this was the place for people who were not Indians in the city. There were many people with different skin colors either standing or sitting on the ground, all looking listless. The majority of them did not even bother to raise their heads to look at Chu Yunsheng and He Xiaoning.
But soon, some people noticed the bulging backpacks behind them, and those people immediately gathered around and spoke to them either in fluent English or clumsy English.
“Is there anything to eat?”
“I can trade this watch for it, Patek Philippe, have you heard of it? It’s absolutely a good thing!”
“What’s the use of a watch? Time here is different from time on Earth. I have insect repellent essential oil, which is definitely better than a watch in a place like this! I only need two pieces of bread. If you don’t have that, rice would also work!”
“I have two anti-inflammatory pills. Those Indians are always looking for this kind of medicine, so if you want, you can name a price.”
“I’ve some jewelry and a diamond ring. I know it’s not worth much, so you just can tell me what I can get, please.”
All kinds of people of different skin colors took out different objects and showed them to Chu Yunsheng and He Xiaoning
Many people couldn’t speak English, but it still wouldn’t stop them from showing the “treasures” in their hands and explaining it eagerly in a language that Chu Yunsheng did not understand.
Chu Yunsheng glanced at a chubby guy who seemed to speak Thai and said while pointing at the place where he was originally sitting, “I just saw you lying on the ground with a lot of clothes underneath you. I can use some of my food to exchange for those clothes.”
As soon as he said this, those who could understand what Chu Yunsheng said immediately took off their clothes before the chubby guy even reacted. They shoved their clothes into Chu Yunsheng’s arm and smiled sycophantically, “You can take my clothes. The chubby man’s clothes definitely won’t fit your figure. Mine’s just right. You just need to give me something to eat. I have children at home, and they are starving.”
The chubby man was furious after he finally came back from the surprise. He pushed away everyone and said angrily, “He wants to buy my clothes, not yours! Stop getting in the way! Also, those clothes are not just mine. How do you know that they don’t suit him?”
The middle-aged man who was pushed away still didn’t want to give up. Knowing where the chubby man got his clothes from, he snorted, “Huh! You got those clothes from the dead people, you think he would like to buy dead people’s clothes?”
As they were arguing, more and more people began to take off their clothes and stuff them into the hands of Chu Yunsheng and He Xiaoning. The climate here was very hot, even if people did not wear any clothes, it would not be a problem for them, so clothes were not valuable things at all.
Chu Yunsheng picked out a few clothes that looked strong and clean from a pile of clothes, a multi-pocket uniform he liked, and two pairs of shoes that fit his feet from the chubby man. He took out a piece of bread-like native food from his backpack and broke it into several parts to be distributed to the “sellers”.
Chu Yunsheng only needed a couple of sets of clothes, so after he chose the clothes, those who still wanted to sell their clothes could only return to their original place dispiritedly. While going back, they were still looking at those people who had gotten food from Chu Yunsheng enviously.
This place was Indians’ territory and they were not Indians, so even if they could tell that there was a lot more food inside the bulging backpacks behind Chu Yunsheng and He Xiaoning, none of them dared to use force to take those bags from them.
He Xiaoning did not have time to care about how shameful it was when she was stripped naked by the pig-headed monster. But now the situation was different, naturally, she would be embarrassed to change clothes in front of a large group of people. She handed the backpack to Chu Yunsheng and took the clothes to the back of the nearest Indian tent to change her clothes.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t care that much. He quickly put on the clothes and then continued to take out food. He pointed to the rest of the people that were still surrounding him and said,
“I’ll take your watch, but only if it’s still working.”
“I will take that Switzerland Army Knife too.”
“How many cigarettes do you have? I’ll buy all of them.”
“That’s a good iron stick. Yes, that one. I’ll buy it!”
In a short while, many things were piled up in front of Chu Yunsheng. Some could be directly put into his clothes pockets, and some were stuffed into his backpack, but none of them were useless.
While Chu Yunsheng was packing up the stuff, a young woman in dirty clothes who looked less than 30 years old hesitantly walked to him while holding a little girl. Looking at the food crumbs that had been dropped on the ground, she swallowed and then stared at Chu Yunsheng.
Chu Yunsheng thought that she wanted to exchange some food as well, but then he noticed that her hands were empty. Thinking that she probably wanted to beg him to give her some food, he shook his head and told her that if she wanted to beg for food, she should try some other places.
However, the young Chinese woman holding the child did not leave, nor did she kneel down to beg him like what Chu Yunsheng had predicted, she simply asked,
“Brother, do you want to fu** me?”
