Chapter 10

"No, I don't want it! I just wanted to see it." He Qingqing quickly put the necklace back.

"Girl, I don't want much, just look around and give me something to eat." Seeing that He Qingqing didn't want it, the old man said anxiously.His wife at home had to bring food home with him, but no one came to buy these things for a few days.

Xixia looked at the vicissitudes of the old man's face full of caution, his whole body was already skinny, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind.Seeing that the old man can take out these valuable jewelry, he must have a good family background before the end of the world.Now that it has been reduced to such a point, I can't help but feel sad.

"I'll trade you ham sausage and jerky, is that okay?"

"Yes, yes." The old man hastily handed the necklace to He Qingqing, as if he was afraid that they would regret it.

He Qingqing also saw the old man's situation, so he stopped speaking out against it.He just took out the ham sausage and dried meat from his bag.

Xixia secretly took a large handful of ham sausages and three packs of jerky from space and put them in her backpack.Then pretend to take it out of the bag.She said to the old man: "Old man, are these things enough?"

"Enough is enough, thank you, thank you!" The old man gratefully thanked Xixia.He picked another white jade ring from the jewelry and stuffed it into Xixia's hand. "This is for you too."

Xixia felt the warm touch of the white jade in her hand, knew it was a good thing, and accepted it without being pretentious. "Old man, do you still want to set up a stall? If not, let's help you deliver these things to your home."

Xixia was afraid that it would be unsafe for an old man to take so much food.

"Hey, no more, the old lady is still waiting for me at home. Thank you." The old man packed his things and got up, ready to go home.

Along the way, Xixia learned that the old man's surname was Tang, and he ran an antique shop before the end of the world.Later, when the apocalypse broke out, he came to Base N from City N. His children were all in City B, but they had lost contact.Now there are only the old couple left, and they have no ability to work in exchange for food.But the minimum standard of food distributed by the base was hard steamed buns, and his wife had bad teeth, so he exchanged the antique jewelry around him for food, hoping to exchange some food for his wife.

Xixia and He Qingqing are very envious of their friendship and never leave each other.

Soon he followed Tang Yuzhong to his home.This is a small shack in District D, and the environment is dirty and messy.The people who live here are generally the elderly or women and children who have no ability to work.

"Old lady, there are guests here."

Out of the room came out an old woman who was thin and not stooped at all.It can be vaguely seen from her facial features that she must have been a gentle beauty when she was young.

"Old man, who are these two?"

"These two girls are Xixia and Qingqing. They bought things from our house and even sent them home for me." Tang Yuzhong introduced to Grandma Tang.

"Oh, thank you so much! Hurry up and have a drink." Grandma Tang welcomed Xi Xia and He Qingqing in gratefully.

"You're welcome, Grandma Tang. We're not thirsty." Xixia knew that the water allocated by the base was also limited, and could only meet the minimum needs of life.

"We don't have anything else to entertain you. You must take a sip of this water." Tang Yuzhong also persuaded.

Xixia and He Qingqing were just two old people, and after walking around for a long time, they were indeed thirsty.So he didn't refuse anymore, and drank the water in the cup in one gulp.

"Grandma Tang, where is your bucket? Let me put some water for you." After drinking the water, Xixia asked, thinking of leaving some water for them before leaving.

"Ah?" Grandma Tang didn't react for a while.

"Grandma Tang, Xixia is a water-type supernatural being." He Qingqing explained.

Grandma Tang came back to her senses and said, "Old man, we really met a noble man. Xi Xia is such a good boy!"

After filling a large bucket of water for the Tang family and his wife, Xixia and He Qingqing also stood up and said goodbye.It was past noon when they returned to the dormitory in Area B through Area D.

"I'm so hungry!" Xixia rubbed her flat stomach, and looked at He Qingqing pitifully.

"It seems to be past meal time now, so let's eat something casually at home." The canteen here serves food for a limited time, and if you miss the time, you won't be able to get something.

He Qingqing found out two packs of biscuits, and they ate them with ham sausage.Nibbling dry biscuits in her mouth, Xixia thought about the meat and vegetables in the space.She didn't have any tools, and she didn't have any fire tools, so she really could only look around and sigh.

Xixia poured the water from the space into the cup and handed it to He Qingqing.She thought about it, although the well water in the space does not directly give people the effect of supernatural powers, drinking more can at least strengthen the body.In the last days, if you don't have supernatural powers, you must at least be physically strong, so as not to encounter zombies and have no power to restrain a chicken, it would be a tragedy.Besides, after the end of the world, there are many people who will awaken their abilities one after another. If He Qingqing can awaken their abilities, she probably won't have such a heavy psychological burden. She is always afraid that she will drag herself down.

After filling her stomach, Xixia was ready to go back to her room to practice her abilities.She said to He Qingqing, "Qingqing, I'm going back to my room to rest, call me if you need something."

"Sleep as soon as you're full, like a little pig." He Qingqing joked.

"Even if I become a little pig, I'm still the cutest little pig in the world!" He Qingqing was thoroughly amused by Xi Xia's smug look.

"Yes, the most beautiful little pig, hurry up. I'll call you if I need anything!"

After Xixia returned to the room, she locked the door and entered the space directly.Her water ability has already broken through the elementary level, and is now at the first level, but the lightning ability is still at the first level.The revolution has not yet succeeded, so Xixia can only continue to work hard.It is estimated that there is no post-apocalyptic woman with space and supernatural powers who will be as sad as her.Think about it, the heroine not only improves her abilities as if she was on a plane, but also the space is very versatile, there are elves and gods and beasts.Why is it her turn? The ability rises like a turtle crawling, and the space is nothing.It seems that her heroine growth is still very long.Xixia was thinking in grief and indignation, while shooting lightning balls towards the open space non-stop.What Xixia doesn't know is that dual-line abilities are more difficult to upgrade than single-line abilities. In the original text, when An Qingya first started the end of the world, her abilities improved more slowly than she does now.

After a busy afternoon, Xixia finally raised the lightning power to the second-level primary.After soaking in the hot spring to relieve her exhaustion, Xixia returned to her room.

"Kukou..." Just after changing clothes, Xixia heard a knock on the door.She hurried to open the door and saw He Qingqing standing outside.

"Xixia, Captain Jiang asked you to go over there."

"Oh, okay. Let's go together." Xixia put on a coat, and took He Qingqing's hand to find Jiang Tianhua together.
