Small supermarket welcomes visitors from all directions

Chapter 106: Locusts Eat Everything

Afu's ward was a one-bedroom and one-living room room. Tang Qiao and Afu lived together, but there was an extra single bed in the room.

Tang Qiao studies hard every day and forgets to eat and sleep. Although he is always in the supermarket, he has no time to come down and play.

He would only come out to accompany Afu for a walk in the morning and evening. The rest of the time he would just give Afu a TV. Tang Qiao would study hard and Afu would not disturb him.

"I didn't realize Tang Qiao is so amazing. Not only does he study hard, but he also takes good care of Afu." Wang Yue felt a little emotional.

"Yes! He has been a person who has had everything provided for him since he was young. This is something I never expected." Liu Xuehua also agreed.

"It's not surprising. Don't underestimate him. He has been in the army for two years and lives and eats with the soldiers." Song Ji Yang said.

"How come we didn't know?" Wang Yue asked, when did these two become so close?
"It was at the very beginning. We were all wearing military uniforms at that time. When he saw us, he asked if we were soldiers. Then he said that he had also been in the army, and that the conditions of the troops there were very poor, even though he was the son of a prince." Even so, Song Ji Yang always looked up to Tang Qiao.

"Wow! You can't judge a book by its cover. He gives the impression of a spoiled young man who grows up in a luxurious environment and loves fine food." It turns out that he has even served in the army!

"So! You really can't judge a person by his appearance! Some people dress shabbily, but they might be billionaires." Liu Xuehua has seen this.

"Yes! Yes! I know there is a place where people are very rich, but when they go out they wear slippers, shorts, vests and so on." The father of one of Wang Yue's classmates is like this.

“What’s that about you? I was watching a video the other day and saw one where a billionaire dressed up as a beggar to beg for food, saying it was to experience life. I don’t know if it’s true or not.” Wen Hao interrupted.

"It must be fake! Just trying to attract attention. How could there be such a person?" Wang Yue didn't believe it.

Several people were talking about meaningless gossip. Then a familiar "beep" sound came from the computer. Everyone fell silent instantly, wondering who it was this time.
After a while, a figure appeared in the portal. He was burly and had messy hair, like a beggar, but he was not, because he was wearing a tiger skin skirt. Whose beggar was so generous? This was a primitive man, confirmed.

As soon as Wang Yue saw someone coming, she hurried to greet him. But when she walked in and saw that it was this person, she didn't know whether to greet him as planned, or go back the same way and let Song Ji Yang come.

Then I thought, since there is no danger, let's go and see who it is.

"Hello! Welcome to the Plane Supermarket." Wang Yue greeted the visitor.

Biao on the opposite side was also confused. He went out to look for food today, but ended up finding nothing except a few small mallets in the valley.

I was feeling depressed! I didn't even look at the road, I just kept walking forward. Actually, walking like this is very dangerous in the primitive world.

Of course it was dangerous before, but now? There is no danger at all. Also, we are almost at the tribe’s cave, and no wild animals are approaching.

Look! You can’t walk without looking at the road, and you end up in a strange place.

When a strange human appeared in his sight, Biao's first move was not to go up and talk to him, but to be on guard.

This is an instinct formed from thousands of battles, to be on guard against all foreign creatures. The reason why humans are humans? Because they are good at thinking, observing, and summarizing.

From Biao's observation, this is a very beautiful place, and he doesn't recognize anything here. There are a few humans here, but they are dressed very neatly and cleanly, which is different from him and much better than him, which makes Biao feel ashamed for a moment.

Looking at the woman who greeted him, she was thin and fair-skinned. She shouldn't be in danger, right? Biao thought to himself.

"Hello!" Biao tried to greet Wang Yue, mainly because he had never spoken to anyone like this before.

"Welcome to the Noodle Supermarket! This is where we sell things." Wang Yue said it again very slowly, fearing that the other party would not understand. Fortunately, this person did not have any strange smell, Wang Yue thought.

"Selling things? Is it an exchange?" Biao didn't understand.

"Yes!" Isn't it just an exchange?

"But I don't have any animal skins either! We suffered a disaster this year and we have nothing left, no fruits, no leaves, no animals. If we can't find food, we will starve to death." When Biao said this, his tone was very low.

"Come, sit over here." Wang Yue led Biao to sit not far from the portal.

"My name is Wang Yue, and I'm the owner of this supermarket." Wang Yue introduced herself.

"My name is Biao."

"What happened to you? Why are there no fruits and leaves?" Wang Yue was worried about him. What kind of disaster had caused the extinction of plants and animals? Could this man still survive?

"It hasn't rained since the snow melted this year, so the grass and trees haven't grown well. It looks like this year will be a bad year, and life will be much more difficult."

"Thirty days ago, many more insects came and began to eat everything green. Even the smaller trees were gnawed and left with holes and pits."

"In just one day, all those annoying bugs flew away, and there was no green left on the ground. During this time, we survived by digging lumps in the soil."

"As for the prey, it has disappeared. After those insects flew away, the prey can no longer be seen." Biao was in a bad mood.

"You have encountered locusts. Locusts only appear in years with dry weather. It is indeed very difficult. You can only look at the things buried in the soil and in the water. There should be rivers where you are!" Wang Yue knew that those primitive people would settle along the rivers.

"The small river has dried up. The only river with water now is the big one, which is not far from us. But there are monsters in the water that can eat people. So we are all looking for food in the soil. Today I only found a few small clubs, which are not enough to feed the dozens of people in the tribe." As he said this, he handed today's harvest to Wang Yue to see.

Wang Yue looked carefully at what Biao had placed on the table. They were just a few plant rhizomes, small, thin, and a bit dry. Wang Yue really couldn't tell what they were. Maybe they were just ordinary plant rhizomes.

Then Biao said, "We didn't eat this kind of root before. People with poor health will feel more energetic after eating it, but people like me dare not eat it because I will have a nosebleed after eating it. This time I couldn't find anything to eat, so I dug a few roots and took them back."

"What did you say? Have you ever taken medicine and had a nosebleed?" Wang Yue looked at it and it didn't look like ginseng at all. Instead, it looked like the root of the carmine flower that she used to grow for fun as a child, except that this root was bigger and shriveled.
