Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 282 Chapter 282 Extreme Cold 28
Two days later, the team came to the small woods [-] kilometers away from Beiguang Base, and everyone stayed here to camp. Ye Fu and Jiang Rong took five sheep to exchange supplies.

"Why don't you go, what if the base is full of vicious criminals?"

"Yeah, I suddenly have some bad premonitions."

"Why don't we all go there together, there are many people, and it's safer."

Ye Fu raised his hand to make everyone quiet.

"Hide in the woods, don't come out for activities, Jiang Rong and I will go back as soon as we go, nothing will happen."

"Then you all pay attention to safety, observe from a distance first, and come back quickly if something is wrong."

"understood."

After getting into the carriage and taking five argali, the two left the team.

"My eyelids keep twitching, and I always feel very uneasy. Nothing will happen." Fang Wei raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

"Jiang Rong is very skilled and has a gun. There should be no accidents. Every city has enough food reserves for [-] years. There are very few people in Beiguang City. Even if people from several nearby cities come here, the food reserves The food is enough for ten years, if you just change it for a little food, you should be fine."

On the other side, Ye Fu and Jiang Rong were already approaching the Beiguang Base. Ye Fu took out the binoculars and could clearly see the houses in the Beiguang Base.

"There is smoke, and there are people."

There should not be many people in the base, and there are few houses with smoke.

As they approached the base, Ye Fu and Jiang Rong came down. The gate of the base was locked with iron chains, and there was a post booth next to it. An old man was sitting inside to enjoy the fire. When he saw the two of them, he was so frightened that he picked up a weapon and tried to scare them off.

"Who? What are you doing here?"

"We escaped from Jiang Province and are going to Beijiang to seek a living. Sir, is this the Beiguang Base?"

The uncle looked at the mammoth behind Ye Fu, trembling with fright.

"Stand back, I have a shotgun, don't back off and I'll shoot."

Jiang Rong blew a whistle, and the mammoth immediately transferred away.

The uncle breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked at the two of them, he was still hostile and defensive.

"Wait a minute." He picked up the stainless steel basin next to him and began to beat it crazily, with a loud voice. After a while, some men came running from a distance. When the uncle saw them, he immediately told what happened just now.

"These two are refugees who came from Jiang Province to go to northern Xinjiang, but they brought two particularly terrifying animals. Look, they are over there."

The mammoth shook his head, frightening the men in the base.

"Is this an elephant?"

"Elephants aren't that scary. They also have hair. They look like mammoths. Is this a mammoth? No, there are no mammoths in Jiang Province."

Ye Fu and Jiang Rong looked at each other, seeing the appearance of several people, this base should be safe.

"Hey, you two, are you armed? Hands up, we're going to search you."

Ye Fu frowned, and raised his hand, but Jiang Rong didn't want to, seeing his complexion, Ye Fu gave him a comforting look.

"Take off your hat and take off your coat."

The two still did as before, and they were relieved that no weapons were found.

Seeing the good looks of the two, several people were a little surprised.

"What are you doing here?"

"We are going to northern Xinjiang. We have no food. We want to exchange sheep for some food."

"What time is this, how can we have food." A man rolled his eyes.

"Where do you get your sheep?"

"I caught it while I was on my way. Brothers, can we meet the head of the base?"

The man snorted, "What kind of base chief, no, you guys leave quickly, or don't blame us for being rude."

Ye Fu thought about it, it seems that there are a lot of tricks in it.

"We don't go in, just change some grain, corn or potatoes, sweet potatoes are fine."

Ye Fu had already seen the excitement in their eyes, the five sheep were all tall and fat, the mutton was full of temptation to them, but they still held back.

And just to drive them away, it seems that the people in the base still retain their humanity.

"How much do you plan to exchange? Let me tell you first, we only have sweet potatoes and cassava." As soon as a tall and thin man finished speaking, he was kicked by the person next to him.

"Six hundred catties of sweet potatoes, four hundred catties of cassava."

One argali weighs two hundred catties, and five are one thousand catties. Ye Fu doesn't want much, and only exchanges at equal value.

The other party's eyes widened, "You lion, open your mouth, don't change, go, go, you guys leave quickly."

Although they drove Ye Fu and Jiang Rong away, their eyes never left Argaly.

"It's a good deal to exchange a catty of sheep for a catty of grain. The sheepskin can also be used to make clothes. Brothers, there is a ewe in it. You can keep the baby."

Several people were even more excited.

"I'm going to ask Brother Long for instructions, please wait a moment, don't play tricks, we have guns."

Ye Fu nodded, "Don't dare, my boyfriend and I are both honest people."

Seeing them like this, the other party was relieved a lot. A man went in to ask the so-called Brother Long for instructions, while others stared at them with shotguns.

Ye Fu observed their shotguns, and found that only the gun of the uncle was real, and the others were toy guns from the scenic spot. A slight smile flashed in Ye Fu's eyes, and he still bowed his head and neck, waiting obediently.

After a while, the man came out, but there were many people behind him, and one of them was wearing a military coat, which should be Brother Long.

"Is it that you want to exchange food?"

"Yes."

"Xiao Liang told me that food can be exchanged. Since you are from Jiang Province, you should have other things. Do you have any salt?"

"We still have a little bit, if you want, I can give you half of it."

The man was a little surprised, "How many?"

"It's only five catties, let me give you three catties."

The man nodded, "Okay, I can give you another hundred catties of cassava. Is there any medicine, Ganmaoling, hemostatic powder?"

"There is no medicine. I want three hundred catties of cassava for three catties of salt. Salt is in short supply."

The other party squinted at Ye Fu and Jiang Rong, and after a long time, he nodded, "Yes."

Ye Fu and Jiang Rong went back to the carriage to get salt, two people followed them, and others stood in front of the base and whispered.

"Brother Long, we have guns, why don't we just grab their sheep?"

Brother Long glared at him, "Did you see those two ferocious beasts? Do you think people who can tame ferocious beasts are not capable? Since they only want to exchange food, why should we cause trouble if we exchange food for them? These two people don't have a Jiang province accent at all, there are plenty of cassava, I haven't eaten meat for two years, and if I don't eat salt, my teeth will fall out."

The others were also disheveled.

Two years ago, due to the high temperature, a lot of cassava was planted in the base, but after the arrival of the small glacier, the vegetation died, and there were few animals on the grassland. Now everyone can only live on sweet potatoes and cassava. Suddenly, someone brought a fat sheep to exchange food. , How could they not be moved.

Moreover, sheep can also give birth to cubs, so there will be endless meat in the future.

Ye Fu and Jiang Rong listened to their conversation, Ye Fu entered the compartment, took out three catties of loose salt from the space, and wrapped it in a plastic sheet.
