Wasteland Survival System and Dogs

Chapter 104 Three Door Locks
"A traveling merchant from the South?"

The rugged man in a robe and holding a shotgun glanced suspiciously at Jing'an.

"With the weather like this, why would there be people who are ignorant come to the north to do business?"

As if he had full confidence in the object in his hand, the man's tone was quite joking.He stretched out his hand, and patted Jing An's shoulder twice with his thick, oily palm, with a frivolous appearance, like the tone of an elder.

"And can you understand our northern dialect, redneck?"

Jing An still had a calm expression on his face, but the old popsicle beside him had already bared his teeth and growled—no one can underestimate Jing An.

The blind-eyed patrol saw the hound behind Jing An at this moment, his expression changed slightly, and while he was retreating behind him, the long-barreled shotgun was placed across his chest, assuming a vigilant posture.

"Hey! Get out of the way, where is this wolf that jumped out!"

With such fuss and fuss, even Aisha, who was lagging behind, couldn't help but show a somewhat contemptuous expression.

After getting "acquainted" with Jing'an, Aisha couldn't develop any affection for this frivolous man.

Gazes of indifference or contempt came from the surroundings. Realizing his ugliness, the man's face gradually turned blue. He grinned and gasped, as if he wanted to say something.

"Stop! Is this how you treat the God of Wealth in our town?"

But before he could continue to say something, Jasmine jumped up and kicked his calf.

"Let's show off our power in a selective place. If we scare away all these businessmen, where will the tax revenue come from to support you?"

She understood the tempers of these guys the most. Jasmine changed her previous weak temper, and the fierceness she showed between her teeth was as funny as a little wolf cub.

And the way she was jumping made Jing'an look at her twice.

"These are all businessmen that Master Hart has specially contacted. You understand what this means...don't let me report you to your leader."

Jasmine, whose threat was almost as high as other people's chests, erupted with an aura that was enough to make people look at her.In contrast, there was the patrolman with a stern look on his face. He snorted twice, but no longer embarrassed Jing'an and his group, and stepped back.

"Okay, okay. Since I'm a guest of the tavern, I don't need to work hard. Remember to be careful all the way, the town recently...is not very peaceful."

After all, a side wall was bulldozed just now.

With her dark eyes raised upwards, Jing'an didn't see the other guards.If nothing else happened, the whole thing was just as he expected, and all the vital forces in the settlement were concentrated to the other side at this time.

Naturally, he would not have the leisure to deal with these traveling merchants who entered the town through recommendation.

As the distance from the outpost drifted away, Jasmine, who was walking in the front, restrained herself a little.The original arrogant attitude disappeared, she followed Aisha and explained to Jing'an softly.

"Like the guy just now, he said he wanted to interrogate the outsiders and conduct a check. In fact, he wanted you to pay some money, sir, so that he could get some oil and water and drink a few more glasses of horse urine in the tavern."

Jing An nodded slightly, he looked at the surrounding buildings, and said to Aisha who was beside him.

"Ask her, is this phenomenon common?"

"As long as it is within the range of the settlement, you can almost see it... Sir, our town is still relatively xenophobic, please forgive me."

On a land that is already poor in resources, it is not difficult at all to develop a group that is brave, aggressive, or xenophobic.

The principle of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is applicable to any creature.

"I see, let's lead the way quickly. We all need to find a place and take a good rest first."

After all, with the atmosphere like this, it is not difficult for Jing An to understand this feeling.

Aisha conveyed Jing'an's meaning in place, and then the four of them walked down the avenue, passing commercial streets, residential areas, and conference halls and other landmark buildings along the way.Among them, local tourists in groups of twos and threes are not uncommon, and Jing'an even saw some little ghosts before and after school age.

At the same time, the locals' curiosity about Jing'an and his party was also beyond words.

As if to prevent Jing An from having unpleasant thoughts, Jasmine deliberately slowed down and explained with a smile.

"Sir, don't look at these guys who are all curious. In fact, it's nothing, mainly because there are very few outsiders coming in here..."

Jing An just nodded, expressing her understanding.

While being watched by the crowd, Jing An was also looking at others out of the corner of her eye.

Wide, long and thick woolen robes are almost the standard equipment for settlements. Their faces are a little paler than those in the south, which also makes the blue eyes that are deeply reflected in the eye sockets more eye-catching.

In such an environment, Jing An's appearance with black hair and black eyes is naturally more likely to be watched by the crowd.

Without staying too long, the two of them and the dog, led by Jasmine, soon arrived at the place where they stayed - as the destination, this was not the tavern where Jasmine worked.

In order to avoid the possibility of revealing their identities, Jing'an and his party could not simply stay in some relatively formal hotels.The purpose of asking Jasmine to spend more time is also to let her choose some hidden places where she can rest.

Although it is true that she did not have too high expectations, after seeing the ordinary low-rise house in front of her, Jing An couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Low bungalows, and wooden huts no more than two stories high on the left and right.Due to disrepair for a long time, it has discolored, cracked, peeled and a series of eye-catching phenomena.

Its inconspicuous, even shabby appearance stands out among the solid one-story houses.

Following the inquiring gazes of Aisha and Old Popsicle, the freckled girl stepped forward a few steps, and she took out a long bunch of keys from her pocket, her face full of unconcealable shyness.

"This is a small house that my sister and I fell in love with last year. After paying the price for a long time, it was finally listed a month ago. Although the outside is so old, the inside is quite complete. , there will be no air leakage."

She paused for a moment, and through body movements, Jing An caught a glimpse of the three heavy locks hanging horizontally in front of the door.

"Originally, I planned to work for another half a year. After saving enough money, I would renovate the whole place. At that time, we wanted to open a small hotel where people can stay."

"The apple pie made by my sister is very delicious. As long as the small shop can be opened, there will be repeat customers, and we will definitely have more money..."

Under the whimpering thoughts, Jing An didn't make a sound to disturb her.Aisha and Old Popsicle on the side were just silent. They stood at the bottom of the steps, like the audience under the three stands, just listening quietly without expressing any opinions.

click.

The door lock was unscrewed, and the chain as thick as an arm was also removed. After a creaking sound, the wooden door was pushed aside.I saw Jasmine standing on the side of the steps, and said to Jing An and his group with a light smile.

"Welcome to the warm cottage of vanilla and jasmine."
