Chapter 1,785: Hard Currency

"Boss, why are you so powerful? Even now, your brain is still so flexible."

"Playing less often is helpful for clearing up the brain."

"How is that possible? I haven't been able to use my hands since junior high school. I pay great attention to health."

"How awesome." Lin Yi said:

"When I was in junior high school, I hadn't seen any Japanese movies."

"Boss, now is not the time to discuss these matters. We should get to Cullen as soon as possible so that we can be safer."

"Let's go."

"How far is it from our place to Cullen?"

"It's not too far, just eight kilometers." Lin Yi said:

"Let's compete to see who can run faster."

"Holy shit, you're shameless, I still have a gasoline can in my hand."

Lin Yi didn't know what his five-kilometer limit was, but he had run 17 minutes and 01 seconds before.

The eight kilometers in front of him was nothing to him, and he could handle it easily.

But the poor road conditions in front of him greatly restricted his speed.

In addition, they also had to help Zhou Liang bear the weight of the oil barrels. It took the two of them back and forth for nearly an hour to reach the Kulun District.

Although this is a slum, for the two of them, it is like a paradise on earth.

Looking at the scattered lights in front of him, Zhou Liang leaned against a dirt wall and kept breathing heavily.

"Today, I finally know how important peace is. If anyone dares to say good things about foreign countries in front of me in the future, I will be a big mouth."

Being away from the flames of war gave the two of them a feeling of escaping death.

At the very least, I no longer have to worry, my life is in my own hands, and I can have some breathing space.

Lin Yi took out the crumpled box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Zhou Liang, as if celebrating the hard-won peace.

The two of them sat together and puffed away, which was a very comfortable feeling.

But at this moment, many people gathered around and looked at the two of them defensively.

This is a slum, and seeing two Asian men here is, to the locals, like seeing two giant pandas running into the street.

But what attracted them the most was the cigarette in Lin Yi's hand.

Even in slums, these most basic living supplies can be provided.

But for them, cigarettes are an absolute luxury and cannot be smoked casually.

Because these barefoot people in front of them are poor people in the slums, tobacco is more attractive to them than those so-called luxury goods. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is hard currency.

Lin Yi was very polite and threw out the cigarette and lighter.

The poor people were so excited that they divided the remaining cigarettes in the cigarette pack equally.

There are even situations where two or three people take turns smoking one.

Through tobacco diplomacy, Lin Yi gained the trust of the locals, and his eyes were no longer defensive and even became friendly.

"I didn't expect that a few cigarettes could have such a big effect." Zhou Liang said with a wry smile.

"You just have never been poor, and you have never experienced such a life."

"Isn't your family rich?"

"I came out of an orphanage. In order to send my children to school, my parents even sold blood. It was a terrible crime."

Zhou Liang has never experienced such a life and doesn't know how to comfort him.

"The hard days are over. You are now a famous rich man in China. It can be said that all the hardships have come to an end."

"So I'm very curious, how come you, a person who was born with a golden key, take life and death so lightly."

"I don't know, maybe it's because my emotions are so heightened that I can't control my reason." Zhou Liang crossed his legs and shrugged, and said with emotion:

"Once upon a time, when I was having dinner with my friends, I saw something on the news. It was said that a woman accidentally fell into the water, and then a man went to save her. In the end, the woman was rescued. The man drowned."

Lin Yi flicked the ashes of his cigarette, "I've heard this news, and I quite admire him."

"What's so admirable? In order to save others, you actually risked your own life. What a fool." Zhou Liang said.

"Looking at it from another perspective, what you said makes sense."

"Actually, before this, I always thought like this. I always thought that such people are not very smart. There is only one life, and living is more important than anything else." Zhou Liang grinned and said:

"But during the day, I suddenly understood that sometimes emotions are not controlled by reason at all. I felt that if I could save these 10 kilograms of ore, this life would not be important at all."

"You have sublimated and found the true meaning of life." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Look at you, I'm lamenting to you, but you're actually laughing at me."

"To be honest, I'm not laughing at you." Lin Yi said:

"In the face of national justice, personal interests are too small."

"Indeed, so at that time, I looked away."

Lin Yi patted Zhou Liang's shoulder and said, "You stay here for a while. There is a store in front. I'll go over and buy some things. I'll fill my stomach first, and then I'll think about what to do next."

"Buy more and I'll starve to death."

"It depends on the situation. I only have more than 100 US dollars in my pocket, so I can buy whatever I can."

Lin Yi stood up and walked towards the simple shop diagonally ahead.

The eyes of people coming and going fell on Lin Yi.

In their view, Asians with weak bodies are perfect targets for robbery.

Lin Yi didn't care about other people's opinions and walked straight to the small shop.

The store is very shabby inside, with shelves made of bricks and wood.

There was an unpleasant smell all around, there were swarms of flies, and there were even cockroaches and mice in the corners.

The things sold in small shops are also all kinds of strange, but most of them are just needed food, but most of them have strange packaging and shapes.

What makes Lin Yi happy is that in addition to food, tobacco and alcohol are also sold here, but the quality is not very good.

But at this time, the quality issue is no longer important. You have to fill your stomach first.

After asking about the prices, Lin Yi was even more surprised. He was amazed by how cheap the items were. UU reading www.uukaｎshu． net

I bought a whole bag of stuff and ended up spending more than thirty dollars.

I feel that the little money in my pocket is enough for me and Zhou Liang to live for a week.

After shopping and returning to Zhou Liang, Lin Yi said:

"Eat quickly and find a place to hide later."

Zhou Liang took a piece of bread and ate it with big mouthfuls, but his eyes were looking around to prevent any accidents.

"Why do I feel like these people are looking at us with a bad look?"

Lin Yi nodded, "So I ask you to eat quickly, maybe someone will come and rob me soon."

"If anyone dares to steal my stuff, I'll kick their fucking balls out."
