Chapter 65: Big Dog

Yue Zhong waved his hand and threw a Type 54 pistol with six rounds in it to Chen Si. "I don't intend to interfere with your affairs in Changguang Village. I just want to make a trade with you. This woman, I've bought her. Is this enough for you?"

Chen Si played with the Type 54 pistol for a moment before waving his hand, "That's enough! Let her go!"

Wang Guanghu's faction had plenty of people but lacked firearms and ammunition. The entire faction had fewer than fifty guns, and a Type 54 pistol was quite valuable. Using it to exchange for a useless woman was a good deal.

With this Type 54 pistol, Chen Si could report back to Wang Guanghu and possibly earn some material rewards.

Two armed men immediately released their grip and let the poor woman go.

"Yingzi!! Yingzi!!" Big Dog rushed forward, hugging the woman named Yingzi and crying loudly.

Chen Si walked up to Yue Zhong and smiled, "Yue Zhong, we have dozens of women in the chicken coop. Would you like any? Two women for a Type 54 pistol, four women for a Type 79 submachine gun. One woman for 20 rounds of Type 54 ammo, or 40 rounds of submachine gun ammo. What do you think?"

In Changguang Village, beautiful women still had some value, while ordinary women had little to no worth.

Yue Zhong directly refused, "No!"

Yue Zhong had limited ammunition from the police station, and he couldn't waste it on irrelevant people.

Chen Si smiled and walked toward the chicken coop, "Well, you can walk around the village while I go relax."

"This isn't a government gathering point. Control your impulses, or many people will die. The people you care about might die because of your impulse." Yue Zhong walked up to Ji Qingwu and whispered in her ear. A faint scent from her body wafted into his nose.

Ji Qingwu gritted her teeth and glanced at Yue Zhong, "I understand."

Big Dog, a villager, dragged his wife to Yue Zhong and knelt down. "Yingzi, come and kowtow to Yue Dage. He's the one who saved you!"

Big Dog was much older than Yue Zhong, but in this world, the capable ones were the leaders. Big Dog called everyone in Changguang Village "bro" to avoid offending anyone.

Yingzi immediately knelt in front of Yue Zhong, sincerely kowtowing. "Thank you, Yue Dage!"

The chicken coop was the hell for women in Changguang Village, where a woman nearly died from torture every day. It was no place for human beings. Yingzi was truly grateful to Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong glanced at Yingzi. The woman was in her thirties, average in appearance and build, with slightly yellowed skin. She looked like a typical peasant woman.

Yue Zhong said, "Get up."

Big Dog helped Yingzi up.

Yue Zhong took a compressed biscuit from his pocket and tossed it to Big Dog, "Show me around the village."

Big Dog took the biscuit and immediately smiled from ear to ear, repeatedly thanking Yue Zhong. "Thank you, Dage! Thank you, Dage! I know Changguang Village well, I'll give you a good tour."

That compressed biscuit, if soaked in water and mixed with some wild vegetables and roots, could feed Big Dog's family for two days.

At that moment, Lu Wen walked over and tugged at Yue Zhong's clothes, "Yue Zhong, I'm hungry! Let's get something to eat before we continue the tour."

The corn porridge with wild vegetables was unfit for human consumption. Lu Wen and the other girls hadn't eaten and were starving. They hadn't eaten for two full meals.

Yue Zhong replied, "Alright! Big Dog, wait for me at the square later!"

Big Dog nodded repeatedly, pulling his wife toward their home, "Understood, Yue Dage!"

As they walked down the street in Changguang Village, many people were staring at Yue Zhong and his group, scrutinizing the new arrivals.

Zhang Xin and the other girls had shown kindness the day before by giving food to the children in the village. Soon, a group of children gathered behind them, loudly begging, "Pretty sister, please give us something to eat! We're hungry!"

Zhang Xin awkwardly replied, "I don't have anything left! Really, I don't!"

The children of Changguang Village wouldn't believe them. They surrounded Zhang Xin, Lu Wen, and the other girls, repeatedly pleading, "Pretty sister, please give us something to eat! We're starving!"

Seeing these children, Yue Zhong frowned.

Standing next to Yue Zhong, Chi Yang drew out a Type 54 pistol and pointed it at the children, coldly shouting, "Scram!"

Seeing Chi Yang's fierceness and that he had drawn his gun, the children were scared and quickly scattered. They weren't afraid of the kind-hearted girls, but they were terrified of the armed men.

Seeing the children scatter, Zhang Xin breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Chi Yang, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Chi Yang, why did you do that? They're just kids. You could have scared them a little, but why pull out the gun?"

Yue Zhong frowned and slapped Zhang Xin across the face.

Zhang Xin was stunned by the slap, covering her beautiful face in disbelief, "You hit me! You actually hit me."

"Yes, I hit you! If you hadn't been spreading nonsense, we wouldn't have been bothered by those kids. It's fine if you give away our supplies, but I won't say anything about that. But when Chi Yang helped you, you still spoke like that. You really are something. Please watch your mouth! If I hear you talk about my brother like that again, you'd better leave our team!" Yue Zhong said, staring at Zhang Xin, emphasizing each word. Chi Yang helped with good intentions, but Zhang Xin still spoke carelessly. He couldn't stand it.

Words can hurt. Sometimes, words are more painful than knives. Yue Zhong, who valued his promises, would have long taken Chi Yang, Lu Wen, and Wang Shuang to Nanning to look for family, if he hadn't promised to escort these girls to the survivor base in Longhai City. Helping others and getting scolded was not the kind of saintly attitude he had.

Zhang Xin's eyes reddened, and she bowed her head, crying. She may not have the beauty of Yuan Ying or Chen Yao, but she was still above average, and many boys pursued her in college. This was the first time she had ever been hit by a man.

Ignoring the crying Zhang Xin, Yue Zhong strode toward the Dongfeng truck in the square.

Wang Shuang, Chi Yang, Lu Wen, Guo Yu, and Wang Lan followed closely behind him.
