Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 11 A rare treasure

I breathed a sigh of relief only after I saw that the round garbage was actually scrapped car tires.

But he did not go down to the garbage dump immediately, but waited cautiously for a while.

He didn't walk down the garbage pile carefully until the surroundings became quiet and there was no more garbage rolling around.

In order to avoid accidents, Liu Qingsong carried the fertilizer bags and walked towards the exit.

Before he reached the destination, his right foot suddenly felt cold, which made him look down subconsciously.

When he saw that the straw sandals on his right foot were actually cut off by the sharp object protruding from the ground, only a few millimeters away from the big toe, he couldn't help but gasp.

I also realized that this garbage dump of the universe is very dangerous.

If you are not careful, you will get hurt.

"What could be so sharp?" Liu Qingsong muttered to himself. After putting down the bag of fertilizer in his hand, he squatted down and dug deep to find the sharp object buried in the ground.

soon.

So he dug out the sharp object.

This is a strange-looking 'broken knife', no! To be exact, it is a single-edged strange weapon, about fifty centimeters long. If you ignore the complicated runes on it, it is similar to the axe used to chop wood at home.

It is as thick and heavy as a hatchet, and feels at least twenty pounds in the hand.

But the strange thing is that just by waving it a few times, it can make that kind of tearing sound that breaks through the air.

In order to verify what he was thinking, Liu Qingsong held the strange broken knife with both hands and chopped at the used tire beside him.

I thought it would just make a cut at most, but what was incredible was that the broken knife actually cut the waste tire in two directly, and the remaining force was not reduced, it directly cut a rusty iron rod on the ground before stopping.

Liu Qingsong was directly frightened when he saw this scene.

He knew that the broken knife was very sharp.

But no one would have thought that it could be so sharp that it could split an entire used tire in two.

In other words, although the broken sword looks inconspicuous and is broken, it is a rare treasure.

If you take this out to chop wood or go hunting, you'll probably get twice the result with half the effort.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingsong came to his senses, wrapped the broken knife with rags, put it in the fertilizer bag, and walked quickly towards the exit.

But he soon turned back.

There is no way, the straw sandals were cut off by the broken knife.

If I don't find a pair of shoes to replace them, I will have to come to the garbage dump of the world barefoot from now on.

However, it is not easy to find a pair of shoes that fit in such a vast garbage dump. Even if there are shoes that fit, they are too flashy to be taken out.

After all, this is 1978.

You have to pay attention to the rationality of what you take out.

Otherwise, if you are targeted by the relevant departments, you will be in big trouble.

In other words, don't underestimate these shoes.

In fact, you need to find a few suitable pairs.

That is actually quite difficult.

But Liu Qingsong did not give up.

It was obvious that searching through the vast garbage dump was too inefficient.

He suddenly looked at the tire that had been split in two by the broken knife.

Then his eyes lit up and he took out a broken knife from the fertilizer bag and walked over.

Before my rebirth, many civilians in Africa used used tires to make shoes, and it even made the news.

He thought it was funny at the time, but now he thinks he learned a lot from it.

At least with these tires from the Wanjie garbage dump, the problem of wearing shoes for him and his family is no longer a problem.

Liu Qingsong did it as soon as he thought of it. He picked up a broken knife and started cutting the waste tires. Because the broken knife was very sharp, the cutting was quite smooth.

In just one or two minutes, the used tire was cut into more than a dozen pieces.

After Liu Qingsong threw away the unwanted ones, he rolled up the rest and put them into a fertilizer bag.

Seeing that the fertilizer bag was so full that it could no longer hold anything else, Liu Qingsong carried the bag on his shoulders and walked towards the exit with satisfaction.

Wow~~!

Step out of the exit.

Liu Qingsong appeared at the gate of the backyard.

Turning around, the garbage dump of all worlds in the backyard disappeared, and what appeared before my eyes was the familiar backyard environment.

Liu Qingsong was stunned for a moment, then walked in with a smile.

After putting the fertilizer bag on his shoulder into the woodshed, he was about to go to the kitchen to wash his hands when the youngest sister came back with a small handful of dry firewood and Xiao Nuomi, chatting and laughing. Liu Qingsong saw that the youngest sister's back was hunched under the weight of the dry firewood, so he quickly stepped forward to help her take it and said, "Next time, don't carry such heavy dry firewood. Do it within your ability, understand?"

"Yeah, I know." The youngest sister nodded her head.

"Uncle, I'm hungry." Little Nuomi also said, then bit his index finger and looked towards the kitchen.

obviously.

She wanted to eat fried fish again.

Liu Qingsong guessed what Xiao Nuomi was thinking.

After smiling and shaking his head, he said, "It's still early for dinner! But if you're really hungry, I can heat up the leftover rabbit stew from this morning for you to eat."

"Okay! Okay!" Little Nuomi clapped his hands, then ran to the kitchen holding his little sister's hand.

"Slow down." Liu Qingsong was afraid that they would fall, so he followed behind them.

A few minutes later, Liu Qingsong heated up the stewed rabbit soup.

Just when the food was about to be served, there was a creaking sound and the wooden door of the kitchen was pushed open. Then the skinny fourth child, Liu Qingshi, ran in with his schoolbag and the skinny fifth child, Liu Qinglong.

The fourth child, Liu Qingshi, is ten years old this year and is already in the third grade.

But he is shorter than the eight-year-old fifth child, Liu Qinglong.

The reason for this is obviously malnutrition.

No one knew what happened, but the brothers came back today more than an hour earlier than usual, all barefoot. The fifth brother even had a swollen wound on his face.

This made Liu Qingsong frown: "Old Four, did you and Old Five skip class and fight again today?"

If I didn't skip classes.

It's impossible to come back so early.

Because Huajiao Primary School is more than 20 miles away from Yezhuling by mountain roads, and based on the school dismissal time of around four o'clock, they will not be able to get home until at least five o'clock.

And it was only a little after four o'clock, so something was obviously wrong.

"Third brother, we didn't skip class, but were kicked out by the teacher." Liu Qingshi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he answered the question timidly.

He saw that Liu Qingsong did not scold him and his brother Liu Qinglong.

He quickly ran to the cupboard.

He took out his bowl and chopsticks, scooped up a large bowl of stewed rabbit soup, squatted at the door and drank it in big gulps.

"Drink slowly." Liu Qingsong knew that the brothers were really hungry. After saying this, he rolled up his sleeves and scooped the remaining stewed rabbit soup and meat to Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei.

Then wash the pot and light the fire.

Start frying the marinated fish with fish oil.

When Liu Qingshi saw this scene, his eyes lit up: "Third brother, where did you get this fish?"

Liu Qinglong also looked at Liu Qingsong curiously.

At the same time, I also have some doubts.

I wonder what to do at home today.

How come there is both wild rabbit meat and wild carp?

It made him wonder if he was dreaming.

"I caught the fish by the river." Liu Qingsong replied softly, and then changed the subject: "By the way, why did the teacher kick you out? Is it because you didn't pay the tuition?"

"Yeah," Liu Qingshi nodded.

Liu Qinglong remained silent.

But the red eyes let Liu Qingsong know.

I'm afraid the brothers have heard a lot of gossip at school.

Liu Qingsong knew the feeling very well, so he sighed and said, "Then I will go to school with you to pay the tuition tomorrow. You two don't have to worry about the tuition anymore."

"But...but..." Liu Qinglong hesitated to speak.

"Third brother, please don't comfort me. I know our family has no money." At this point, Liu Qingshi licked the bowl of rabbit soup clean before continuing, "So I don't want to study anymore. I want to go home and help my second sister."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Qingsong frowned.

You don’t want to study at the age of ten. What can you do if you stay at home?

"Fourth brother, you are wrong. Our family is rich now!" The youngest sister also said.

"Really...really rich?" Liu Qingshi and Liu Qinglong looked at Liu Qingsong in surprise.
