Gao Qi was calm and confident. He turned around and walked out of the small house. When he came to Wang Laohu again, he smiled and said, "I've finished talking with him. It's fine now."
Wang Laohu wouldn't ask what Gao Qi had talked about with Muken. He just nodded and said, "Chief Gao, how much should I sell him, and what should be the price?"
Gao Qi didn't answer Wang Laohu's question. He just said indifferently, "Okay, you don't have to take care of him, and don't cheat him."
"Understood, Chief Gao."
Gao Qi thought for a while, then he said to Wang Laohu, "How many people know about Muken's background?"
"Not many, they're all my closest brothers."
Wang Laohu seemed a little nervous. Gao Qi thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter. I want to cast a long line to catch a big fish. Just don't let more people know."
Wang Laohu immediately felt relieved. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Chief Gao."
In fact, he didn't say anything, but Gao Qi asked how many people knew, which showed that he wanted to silence him. Wang Laohu was a smart person. He immediately understood Gao Qi's meaning.
Wang Laohu said to the people behind him, "The Third Eldest Son, accompany Chief Gao to have tea. I'll take care of business first."
The Third Eldest Son immediately ran over and said to Gao Qi, "Chief Gao, please."
Gao Qi didn't look at Muken's small house anymore. He said to Meng Hai-jui, "Lao Meng, why did Muken kick the door, come out, and then go back in?"
It was Gao Qi's good habit to ask when he didn't understand something, and to figure it out when he didn't understand something.
Meng Hai-jui was a Wasteland Dweller. His ability level might not be high, but one thing had to be clear: Meng Hai-jui was definitely one of the best Wastelanders, and he was definitely a survival master. He had to be someone who knew how to do things, or else Huang Fei wouldn't have taken a fancy to him.
"This kid is an expert. He must have seen the two of us and thought that we were coming for him, so he kicked open the iron door and jumped onto the roof while we were distracted."
"Wait, why is he on the roof?"
"Look at the hut. It's still three meters to the left or right. Regardless of whether he goes to the left or right, there must be someone aiming at him. That's why he jumped onto the roof. As long as he's fast, the gunmen surrounding him won't have time to aim."
Gao Qi suddenly understood and said, "Use the shortest route to get out of the range of the firepower blockade?"
"That's what I meant."
"Then why did he come back?"
"He realized that he was surrounded, so he jumped down and went into the hut. The hut has no windows, and the walls are thick enough. He only needs to pay attention to the people coming in through the door."
Gao Qi was very puzzled and said, "That's what I don't understand. Why did he enter the hut? Isn't he walking right into our trap? Isn't he waiting for us to catch him like a turtle in a jar?"
Before Meng Hai-jui could answer, The Third Eldest Son laughed and said, "Hey, he wants to make sure that he can die quickly and not be caught alive."
Meng Hairui nodded and said, "That's right. He must have realized that he couldn't run away and saw the two of us. In order not to be restrained or seriously injured, he didn't even have the chance to commit suicide, so he jumped down and went into the house."
Gao Qi began to slowly familiarize himself with the Wilderness, but he really didn't understand the survival logic of the Wilderness, or the survival and fighting skills. As for the people in the Seventh Farm and the people in Zhaoxi City, they were completely different from the life and fighting that the Wilderness was familiar with.
Gao Qi said with some surprise, "He came out to see the situation and realized that he couldn't escape, so he immediately walked into the path of certain death? That's it? "
The Third Eldest Son smiled and didn't answer, but Meng Hai-jui said in a low voice, "Yes, but Muken is the most agile person I've ever seen. He is indeed a master."
Gao Qi exhaled and nodded, "It seems that I still have a lot to learn."
The Third Eldest Son smiled foolishly and said, "You're from the city. What's there to learn from the Wilderness?"
Gao Qi shook his head and said, "There's no end to learning. I still have a lot to learn."
The Third Eldest Son pushed open a door and respectfully invited Gao Qi in. He immediately said to a pretty girl in the living room, "Make some tea."
Gao Qi sat on the sofa and looked at the bead hanging around the girl's neck. He said, "Oh, this bead …"
The girl lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. Gao Qi was a little hesitant. Just as he was thinking about how to get the energy core to take a look, The Third Eldest Son said to the girl, "Take off your necklace, quickly!"
The little girl was quite pretty. Looking at her carefully, she was indeed very pretty. It was a pity that although her clothes were neat and clean, they were still too rustic. Her two hands were very rough, and her expression and movements were also very reserved. Although she was pretty, that was all she was pretty.
The girl hurriedly took off the bead on her neck. The Third Eldest Son took it and respectfully presented it to Gao Qi with both hands. He said, "Chief Gao, we're all country bumpkins. We haven't seen the world and don't have anything good. If you like this thing, then our Brother Hu will be proud. Hai, our Brother Hu has always dreamed of finding something good to send to you."
Sensible!
Lao Meng gave The Third Eldest Son a look of approval.
Gao Qi was very embarrassed, but after seeing the energy core, he became thick-skinned.
It was a nearly transparent bead about the size of a peanut. It wasn't the smallest one. When Gao Qi took the bead from The Third Eldest Son, he knew it was the energy core with just a touch.
"Oh, not bad. Where did you get this?"
The Third Eldest Son scratched his head and said, "We took it from Qin Laoda's house. A few years ago, a strange beast approached here. Qin Laoda and his people spent a lot of effort to kill the strange beast."
"Do you know how they killed it?"
"I know. That strange beast killed dozens of people when it came. After that, Qin Laoda and his people buried earth cannons near the strange beast's nest to lure it over and blow it up. Sigh, more than a dozen people died just because they lured the strange beast over."
No wonder the energy core was so expensive. Gao Qi looked at the bead in his hand and fell silent. Such a small and inconspicuous energy core had actually involved dozens of lives.
Sighing softly, Gao Qi looked at the little girl who was wearing the energy core as an ornament. He thought for a while and said, "I can't snatch something from a beauty. How about this, I'll give it to …"
The Third Eldest Son hurriedly said, "Chief Gao, what are you talking about? As long as you like her, she'll be yours. What's more, this bead is just a little bead. You can't say that."
Gao Qi didn't know what to say for a moment. The little girl was at most sixteen or seventeen years old. After hearing The Third Eldest Son's words, she actually shyly glanced at him.
He didn't dare to casually reply. Gao Qi thought for a while and said, "Do you have many of these beads here?"
The Third Eldest Son scratched his head and said, "We don't have many here. I've only seen this one before. But … I heard that there are quite a lot of people in the mountains in the west. Last time, someone wanted to use this to exchange for salt, but Brother Hu didn't agree."
