Apocalypse Shuttle Journey

Tong Huan looked at the bucket and said to Tong's father and Tong Xiao, "There is still so much water left. Dad, sister, what should we do?"

Tong Xiao didn't have any good solution. She couldn't just conjure up a clean bowl out of thin air.

After pondering for a moment, Tong's father put his hands on his hips and said, "That's it, Tong Huan, you stay at home and guard the water.

Your sister and I will go to the market to trade the water, and then we will go find Jiang Meng to return the bucket."

Although Tong Huan really wanted to go out and go to the trading market, he also wanted to see what kind of person Jiang Meng was.

But Tong Huan also knew that there was so much water at home.

Even if there is only one bowl of water in the house, someone must be left at home to guard it.

So going out with my sister and dad is the best option at the moment!

In the trading market, Dad can protect my sister. If I go to find Jiang Meng, my sister and Jiang Meng are more familiar with each other.

So Tong Huan said to Tong's father and Tong Xiao, "I will be at home, waiting for you to come back."

After hearing Tong Huan's words, Tong's father and Tong Xiao said goodbye to Tong Huan and went out together. Naturally, Tong's father carried the bucket.

When they came out, Ye Tianyu, Ye's mother, and those people who were watching the fun were all gone.

Tong's father took the lead and walked in front, while Tong Xiao followed behind.

The two chatted on the way. Tong's father smiled at Tong and said, "You said before that the clothes and shoes you were wearing were all given to you by Jiang Meng?"

Tong Xiao nodded, and Tong's father said with some emotion: "I didn't expect Jiang Meng to be so generous."

Tong Xiao agreed and said, "Yes, Dad, Jiang Meng is a very good person."

Tong's father really wants to make friends with someone like Jiang Meng. He didn't have this opportunity before, but now his daughter Tong Xiao is here, so at least he has a familiar face in front of Jiang Meng.

So Tong's father asked, "Is there any way to make your relationship with Jiang Meng better?"

After hearing what Tong's father said, Tong Xiao shook his head. When Tong's father was about to say something else.

Suddenly, a person rushed towards them. Tong's father wanted to move away, after all, the water in his hand could not be damaged.

But Tong's father found that after he had moved aside, the man did not leave, but continued to refuse to give in and kept rushing towards them.

The child at the side laughed and said loudly: "Dad, his target is the bucket!"

Tong's father also noticed this, so he shouted at the man, "If you do this again, don't blame me for being rude!"

There was no sign of relaxation on Tong's father's face, and it was obvious that the man was not listening to him.

So Tong's father had no choice but to hand the bucket to Tong Xiao: "You carry the bucket."

Tong Xiao understood what his father meant, so he took it immediately. Tong's father stood beside Tong Xiao, looking at the man with full vigilance.

A trace of regret flashed in the man's eyes, and his rush towards Tong's father ended up in vain because the bucket was no longer in Tong's father's hand.

Tong's father had no intention of chasing after him because there were people around who were eyeing him eagerly.

Night is different from day. The dark environment and blurred vision are like a protective umbrella for those with ulterior motives!

Tong's father and Tong Xiao couldn't help but quicken their pace. Under Tong's father's strict security, the two soon arrived near the trading market.

After arriving at the trading market, with the light from the fire, we can see the guards arranged by the team patrolling inside from time to time.

This also made Tong's father and Tong Xiao both feel relieved.

Tong Xiao was still a little angry and said, "How could there be such a person!"

It would be better if they just stole water, but the man's intention just now was obviously to perish along with them!

After hearing what Tong Xiao said, Tong's father said, "There are people in this world who are not good themselves and want others to be bad."

Tong Xiao nodded, then looked at the dark sky and said to Tong's father anxiously, "Let's exchange the water quickly, it's getting late now."

It is estimated that a long time has passed from the time she left Jiang Meng's tent to now.

Although Tong Xiao didn't know the exact time, it was not dark when she left Jiang Meng's tent.

So Tong Xiao was worried that Jiang Meng would be angry with her because she had wasted too much time and had not yet returned the bucket.

Tong's father saw the anxiety on Tong Xiao's face, so he quickened his pace and said to Tong Xiao, "Then let's go in quickly."

Tong Xiao followed Tong's father and entered the trading market.

But he was stopped.

Qi Chun looked at the bucket in Tong Xiao's hand and couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He said with some satisfaction: "Do you know the rules?"

Tong's father stood in front of Tong Xiao and said, "I know, I know."

Just as Qi Chun's men were about to make a move, Qi Chun stopped them.

After seeing Qi Chun's eye signal, the subordinates also retreated. It was obvious that Qi Chun wanted to do it himself.

Then Qi Chun took out a bowl himself, which looked quite clean.

Tong Xiao also knew the rules of the trading market, so he moved the bucket in his hand forward.

Qi Chun took the bowl and put it into the bucket. One could see with the naked eye that most of the bowl was submerged in the water.

Tong Xiao screamed in surprise immediately, and Tong's father also looked over and thought to himself, Qi Chun was too cruel!

So Tong's father said to Qi Chun sincerely, "Brother Qi, could you please hurry up? Jiang Meng is still waiting for us to go back."

When Qi Chun heard Jiang Meng's name, his hand suddenly shook, and most of the water that should have been full in the bowl was shaken out.

However, Qi Chun seemed to not care and said to Tong's father, "You are working for Jiang Meng? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Qi Chun picked up the bowl calmly and saw that there was no water in the bowl.

Then Qi Chun said to Tong's father and Tong Xiao kindly, "We have collected the stall fees. You can go in now."

Tong's father looked at the empty bowl in Qi Chun's hand. If he said he was not shocked, that would be a lie.

Just now he thought quickly and brought up Jiang Meng, but he didn't expect that Jiang Meng's name would be so useful!

Tong Xiao was a little confused. How did the situation develop into this?

Tong's father didn't care about that. He held Tong Xiao's hand with one hand and carried the bucket with the other, and strode inside.

At the same time, Tong's father's eyes were glancing around, obviously observing which position would be better.

Suddenly, Qi Chun's voice came from behind: "Do you think Jiang Meng looks good in the red dress she's wearing today?"

Because of Qi Chun's words, Tong's father and Tong Xiao had to stop where they were, just as Tong's father was sweating coldly on his back.

Tong Xiao turned her head and said to Qi Chun with a puzzled look on her face: "Jiang Meng is wearing white clothes today. Could it be that Jiang Meng changed her clothes today?"

Qi Chun was carefully observing the expression on Tong Xiao's face.

But after a while, Qi Chun smiled at Tong Xiao and said, "Oh, that's possible. Go ahead and do your business. I wish you a prosperous business."

Tong Xiao was a little puzzled and glanced at Qi Chun. Tong's father, who was standing beside him, also calmed down because of Tong Xiao's words.

Then Tong's father controlled his tone and tried to make his tone calmer: "We have to hurry up, Jiang Meng is still waiting for us."

After hearing what Tong's father said, Tong Xiao nodded immediately, quickened his pace, and urged Tong's father: "Dad, hurry up!"

Tong's father looked at Tong Xiao's back and wanted to smile.

But the shock he had just received had not yet passed, so Tong's father only let out a few dry laughs.

Qi Chun quietly watched the backs of Tong's father and Tong Xiao as they left.

The subordinate beside him said cleverly: "Brother Qi, do you suspect that there is something wrong with them?"

Qi Chun didn't nod or shake his head: "Isn't it strange that two people who work for Jiang Meng suddenly appeared?"

After hearing what Qi Chun said, the subordinate immediately asked, "So Brother Qi, were you trying to trick them just now?"

Qi Chun nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't seen Jiang Meng today, so how can I know what color clothes she is wearing?"

The subordinate rolled his eyes and said to Qi Chun, "Didn't someone in our team go to find Jiang Meng today? Why don't we ask him?"

Qi Chun looked at the men beside him and said, "Go find him. If they dare to lie to me, hmph!"

After receiving Qi Chun's instructions, the subordinates left immediately.

After a while, the subordinate who had left came back with a young man.

This young man was sent out to question Jiang Meng about how to deal with the incident in the trading market caused by Jiang Huaishu and Liu Si.

When the young man came, he knew what Qi Chun wanted to know through his subordinates.

So when he walked up to Qi Chun, the young man told the truth: "When I went to see Jiang Meng, she was indeed wearing white clothes."

After Qi Chun got the answer, the young man was called away by his subordinates. After all, the young man had to return to his post.

But the young man hesitated, and finally seemed to make a decision.

After stopping his steps, the young man said to Qi Chun, "Brother Qi, Aliang and the others haven't come back since they left."

After hearing what the young man said, Qi Chun thought of the personalities of Aliang and his gang and said, "Maybe they are going to fool around somewhere again.

When it’s time to eat, they’ll definitely show up.”

Seeing that Qi Chun didn't care, the young man shut up. After all, he had done what he should do.

After saying goodbye to Qi Chun and his men, the young man left.

The subordinate then said to Qi Chun, "It seems that those two people did not deceive us."

Qi Chun glanced at his men and said, "This can only mean that the two of them met Jiang Meng today."

After hearing Qi Chun's words, the subordinate was stunned: "What should we do?"

Qi Chun pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal. He can take out so much water and wear new clothes.

Even if the person behind them is not Jiang Meng, we cannot afford to offend him."

The subordinate immediately wondered, "Maybe there is no one behind them?"

Qi Chun originally wanted to knock his subordinate on the head.

But looking at his men's greasy heads, Qi Chun gave up the idea: "If there was no one behind them, they wouldn't have dragged Jiang Meng into this."

After hearing what Qi Chun said, the subordinates immediately exclaimed: "The boss is really smart!"

Qi Chun raised his head proudly and said to his men, "Someone's coming to the entrance, why don't you collect the fee?"

······

Tong Xiao and his father entered the trading market and finally found a place to set up their stall.

Tong Xiao was just about to sit down and rest for a while when she saw her father sweating profusely. She quickly asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Tong's father shook his head and said to Tong Xiao, "It's nothing. My daughter, you must have a good relationship with Jiang Meng."

Tong's father knew that Qi Chun was testing him just now.

Fortunately, Tong Xiao gave the answer, otherwise Tong's father would not dare to think about what their fate would be.

This matter cannot be exposed yet, so Tong's father said such words to Tong Xiao.

Tong Xiao nodded without understanding why. Of course she would get along well with Jiang Meng.

As soon as Tong's father put down the bucket, people gathered around and kept asking how to trade.

Tong Xiao and Tong's father showed expected expressions when they saw that business was so good.

The water was traded little by little at the market price.

Until the last drop of water was traded away.

The stall in front of the two people was filled with all kinds of food, including the common spicy strips, bread, and instant noodles.

There are also rare beef jerky and pork jerky.

Tong Xiao said to Tong's father with satisfaction, "We are rich!"

Tong's father nodded and said, "This water is really valuable."

Tong Xiao also nodded in agreement. Who said it wasn't true? Such a small bucket of water could actually be exchanged for so much food.

Tong's father put the food he had traded into his pocket one by one, and then said to Tong Xiao, "Let's go out from another entrance."

After hearing what Tong's father said, Tong Xiao had no objection. To Tong Xiao, it was the same wherever he left from.

After all, the trading market is only this big. Tong Xiao picked up the empty bucket and followed Tong's father.

Tong's father was carrying a bag of food, which was quite eye-catching.

Tong's father felt the envious looks and greedy expressions from the people around him, and he felt very satisfied!

How long has it been since I felt this way?

Suddenly, Tong’s father saw a woman holding a child.

But he didn't expect that the next second, the woman holding the child would kneel down in front of him.

The woman was still crying and said, "Sir, please have mercy on us.

Don't say pity me, but pity my child. He hasn't had any food for three days!"

After saying this, the woman kept sobbing, and the people around her stopped walking, enjoying the fun.

As the woman cried, the child in her arms also cried out at the top of her lungs.

It's amazing that such a small body can make such a loud sound!
