Scavenging Notes: I am the Lucky Star of the End Times

Star calendar year 336, hot season day 88, 08:30:00,

Thanks to his serious injuries, Xu Sansan rarely managed to sleep until this hour.

“Hiss~~~Ah~~~Ah~~~Ah~~~”

She slowly stood up.

Although her bones had been reconnected, and her body's recovery ability had indeed been greatly improved with the healing nuclear crystal energy she had absorbed, the big movement from sit-ups to sit-ups still made her feel like her soul was leaving her body.

"How is it? Do you need to go to the medical department to get an injection of repair potion?"

Xie Yuan was obviously frightened by her four consecutive shouts, and quickly took out the largest yellow nuclear crystal from the medicine box, preparing to use it as the medical expenses for his trip to the base city.

Xu Sansan felt it carefully. Well, the bones should be reconnected, the muscles are strained over a large area, and there is probably blood stasis in the body. It is best to rest.

After completing the self-diagnosis, he waved his hand:

"It's okay! I'll just lie down for the morning and talk about it later."

Seeing that she was in pain but in good condition, Xie Yuan nodded with relief and went out to fetch some water.

There is a lot of work waiting for him to do today!

First boil the water and pour it into a plastic bucket, then take out a small brush made of reed stems and start cleaning the lotus root nodes...

Xu Sansan looked at the supplies that took up half of the room. Although he was satisfied, it meant that there was less space for activities.

The house was not big to begin with, and the two straw mats took up two square meters of space each. The pots and pans and the Stagnant Elements "Little Stone" brand "refrigerator" took up another two square meters, leaving only about six square meters of space in the entire house.

Several large sacks of corn kernels were piled directly on the roof. Although the dried insect eggs had shrunk a lot, they still took up a lot of space. Add to that the large white board that was moved back from City No. 204 and the lotus roots and lotus leaves that were brought back yesterday. Now there was really no place to step.

She slept with a lotus leaf on her head yesterday because there was no place to put it...

Xu Sansan looked at Xie Yuan who was working hard to clean lotus roots in the yard, and couldn't help but interrupt:

"There's not enough space at home now. I think I may need to expand the area a little bit."

"Yeah, it's too crowded. Let's wait until you recover from your injury."

Xie Yuan didn't even look up and continued with the work at hand, but he also agreed with this proposal.

"Okay, I think I'll be able to get out and move around in the afternoon."

Xie Yuan frowned and turned back, looking at her with disapproval:

"Don't be stubborn, take good care of your injuries."

Xu Sansan tilted his head, pointing at the lotus root in front of him and the large lotus leaf covering him, and said helplessly:

"How long do you think they can be kept if they are not sliced ​​and dried promptly?"

Xie Yuan: ...Yes, so many lotus roots and lotus leaves are food. They have been left out for one night in this hot weather. If they are left out for another night, it is hard to say whether they will start to rot...

Oh! It's all my own useless body's fault!

……

At 14:14:30 in the afternoon, Xu Sansan, with a small towel wrapped around his head and a bulging cloth bag hanging on his chest, limped out of the shantytown with one hand on his waist and the other hand pulling a cart.

There is no need to pretend today, I really am limping along the road.

Half an hour later, with a "ding" sound, the elevator door of the black market opened.

Xu Sansan walked out of the elevator slowly, step by step.

"Whoo~~~"

Exhale,

You know what, it's really painful and tiring.

Of course, the main thing is pain!

Especially the waist and back.

Hey! It's all for food and supplies!

He silently cheered himself up, rubbed his old waist, took a deep breath, and continued to take small steps towards the end of the black market.

"Huh? Weird..."

In the room next to the elevator, the fat woman stared at Xu Sansan through the cat's eye, frowned, and asked in confusion:

"This cart clearly belonged to the pregnant woman, how come it is in the hands of this lame old lady now?"

When the man on the rocking chair heard the word "pregnant woman", he immediately opened his eyes and revealed a sinister look:

"Is it the same person?"

The fat woman stared at the detector screen on the wall and turned the gold ring on her finger, unsure:

"This lame old woman is in poor health. Not only do she have multiple internal injuries, but her muscles and bones are also seriously injured... She looks far less healthy than a pregnant woman..."

The man closed his eyes again and said faintly:

"Then continue to observe. Xiaowu's revenge will be avenged sooner or later!"

"Bang, bang, bang~ bang~~"

After three short knocks and one long knock, Xu Sansan knocked on the "wall" of the second-hand shop.

"Come in."

Lao Qin opened the door and walked directly behind the counter. He quickly put away the account books, calculators and other small items on the counter, cleared a large counter space,

Just as he was preparing to serve his cash cow with great enthusiasm and professionalism, he suddenly remembered his last friendly opening that was so unwelcome that he had to ask Xu Sansan to start over again.

So I cursed in my heart,

Bitch!

Then he immediately calmed down, looked up nonchalantly, glanced at Xu Sansan who was limping and walking slowly in, and snorted coldly:

"Humph! You're still pretending to be serious today!"

Xu Sansan had a blank expression on his face, but he couldn't complain in his heart:

"Hey, I'm acting as myself today.

Please, give me a seat."

Old Qin was startled, and quickly moved a chair from behind the counter, then looked up and down:

"Seriously injured?"

Xu Sansan sighed, held her waist, and slowly sat down. In fact, she didn't want to come to the second-hand store in person today, but after thinking about the things in the cloth bag, she was afraid that she would have to negotiate in person, so she waved her hand:

"Well, anyway, I just got hurt a little bit, so I need to rest for a few days."

Old Qin was shocked. He took a few days to recuperate, and then he stammered:

"That, that, that..."

Xu Sansan rolled his eyes at Lao Qin's expression, which was as if he had lost 100 million yuan.

"It's just a matter of 1-2 days of rest,"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of salt crystal from the cloth bag on his chest and comforted him in a very careless manner:

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find you something good."

Old Qin stared at the half-fist-sized salt crystal on the counter, and his attention was quickly diverted. He stretched out his hand and pointed lightly, and asked tentatively:

"This is……?"

Xu Sansan raised his chin, motioning him to test it himself first.

"Ding! Slightly contaminated high-purity salt ore crystal!"

The detector gave the results quickly.

What does high-purity salt mineral crystal mean?

Xu Sansan was a little curious, but completely confused.

Old Qin took a deep breath, calmed himself down, then slowly turned around and suppressed his trembling voice:

"how much do you have?"

Xu Sansan raised his eyebrows: Just as Xie Yuan said, salt is also a scarce resource in the end times!

She was not in a hurry to hand over her trump card, but just touched the bulging cloth bag on her chest vaguely, and asked with a smile:

"How about we talk about the price first?"

Lao Qin's fingers hanging by his side moved slightly. Does this mean that there is still stock, and quite a lot of it?

Are they planning to decide how much to sell it to me based on the price I offer?

Hmm...it seems that it is not easy to fool people today...

Lao Qin frowned slightly, tapped his fingertips, thought for a moment, and rolled his eyes:

"I'm not going to lie to you. This high-purity salt crystal is indeed a rare and valuable item.

As you know, salt crystals are the cooking seasoning sought after by the big guys.

However, the salt ore crystals circulating in the market are mainly slightly polluted and low-purity.

These low-purity salt crystals need to be sent to a processing plant to remove impurities and then be purified.

So, I don’t know how to estimate the price…”

Xu Sansan raised his eyebrows:

"In other words, people haven't seen high-purity salt crystals very often?"

Old Qin glared, obviously overreacting to Xu Sansan's ignorance:

"This high-purity salt crystal has only appeared once in the past few decades. I heard that it was discovered in the distant Base City No. 903. It is a piece of pollution-free high-purity salt crystal. It caused a sensation in the entire apocalypse at the time! This is big news!"

Xu Sansan was touching the six pieces of pollution-free salt crystals in his cloth bag. When he heard Lao Qin's passionate propaganda, his hands paused:

I...did I find a treasure?!
