My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1413
[1403. Chapter 1383 Exchange, the way to deal with smart people!]
But if we force ourselves to break it down, it can probably be divided into two parts.
First, analytical judgment ability
Observers are mostly trained in this ability, which allows them to quickly focus on target points in complex environments and analyze the information they want.
Second, find differences for comparison.
For example, in an interesting survey, most patients with paranoia have observation abilities several times stronger than normal people, because they can always notice the differences between some individuals in the crowd and other people around them, and regard such differences as threats.
Su Mo admitted that his analytical and judgment abilities might not be as good as Luo You who was hiding in the crowd, but his ability to compare was really too strong.
With the bonus of the Eye of True Vision, the night environment will not have much impact at all.
Just glance over and you can compare the differences at a glance.
Of course, this was also because Luo You, who was hiding in the crowd, did not disguise himself. He probably did not think that anyone could detect a slight difference from dozens of meters away in such a harsh environment.
It could be that his movements were not that panicky, or that his turning movement was slow, or that he hesitated for a moment.
In short, when Su Mo called his name, Luo You’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
“Stop, he’s spotted us.”
He looked up at Luo Xiang, who was still rowing hard with no intention of stopping.
This kid and his sister are two extremes.
Although both of them are very smart, the younger sister is very obedient and sometimes even has no opinion of her own.
And his brother is as stubborn as a donkey and often refuses to believe in evil, which is why they have fallen into their current situation.
Luo You thought so in his heart, so he had to speak out again:
“Your sister is still on their ship!”
Wow.
Hit the vital point, he has become honest.
Luo Xiang paused in rowing, and the sampan lost power and began to slow down suddenly.
Among the group of sampans that were fleeing frantically, this was obviously like a wolf suddenly jumping out of a flock of sheep, and howling loudly towards the sky.
“Yeah, Dad is really mixed up in there!”
Luo Jiao was stunned for a moment, and when she looked at Su Mo again, something suddenly seemed wrong in her eyes.
The other three, however, seemed to have figured something out at this time and did not act surprised at all. They were still happily watching a sampan from the fleeing fleet coming in the opposite direction.
As the distance got closer, Su Mo began to see clearly the appearance of the two people on the boat.
Luo You’s appearance is not much different from what is recorded in the information. Although he looks a little depressed, probably due to his broken leg, he can still be matched with the photo in the information at a glance.
Luo Xiang is much more mature than what he appears in the information, and even looks like a young man in his twenties.
This should be the change that comes with the trajectories in the real wasteland and the future ruins moving further and further apart.
Thinking of this, Su Mo was somewhat glad that he had come up with the idea of looking for someone not too late.
If this trend continues for another year or two, all the previous information may become useless.
“Dad, how dare you hide in someone else’s fleet? If you are discovered, you will be dead!”
Seeing that Luo You and Luo Xiang were not injured, Luo Jiao stood at the bow and shouted excitedly.
At the same time, Luo Xiang and Luo You also breathed a sigh of relief.
Both sides are now completely worried about their own things.
Luo Jiao was worried that the father and son would be caught by this group of people and tortured to find out the secret of why they always caught so many fish.
Luo Xiang and Luo You were worried that a stronger group of people might have found Luo Jiao and used them to threaten her.
Especially when the gunshot sounded, Luo You was almost 90% sure of his idea.
But now it seems that things are not as bad as he imagined.
Ma Benchun was also on the boat.
“Luo Quezi, you are really brave. You can actually provoke so many people.”
Lao Ma pulled Luo Jiao back to prevent her from falling, then said with a smile: “But after tonight, not only will your name spread throughout the 50 kilometers of our reed marsh, but the entire alliance will also know that there is someone like you. Hey, I wonder who will be so bold as to provoke you in the future.”
“Uncle Ma?”
The familiar voice cheered Luo Xiang up.
When he saw that the person coming was Ma Benchun, he waved excitedly.
“It’s me, come here quickly.”
While talking, Luo You paid close attention to the three remaining people on the boat.
Among them, Lao Gong and Lao Ma should be local fishermen, which can be judged from their posture and appearance.
Even in the moonlight, one can see the dark and shiny skin.
As for the other middle-aged man, he was a little confused.
I don’t understand the literal meaning.
Judging from the other person’s posture and temperament, he should be a person who has been in a high position for many years.
But his appearance is extremely ordinary, just like an ordinary person who was pulled out of the crowd.
Could it be a disguise?
In a split second, Su Mo did not expect that Luo You could guess almost everything about her after just a brief encounter.
The two sampans approached each other, and Luo Jiao jumped nimbly on the bow and landed on the other sampan.
Only then did she realize that this was not their sampan, and there were two people lying in the cabin, who seemed to have been unconscious for a long time.
“These two people.”
“They are from the Song family.” Luo Xiang glanced casually and said vigilantly: “Luckily, as soon as we came out, my father found that many people were staring at us. When these people surrounded us, we could only take advantage of the chaos to board the enemy’s boat and hide first.”
“If you hadn’t come over, we might have been able to escape in a little while.”
“Escape? Where can you escape to?” Ma Benchun sneered, “They have been hiding in your house for a long time. If we hadn’t gone there, you would have died if you went back.”
“Are they still squatting in our house?”
Luo Xiang was stunned, turned to look at Luo You, and suddenly became a lot more depressed.
When they just seized the boat, he suggested that they take advantage of the chaos to go home and escape with Luo Jiao.
Fortunately, Luo You stopped him from having such thoughts, otherwise he would be really sending himself to waste if he went back.
“Lao Ma, who is this friend?”
Luo You used his right hand to support himself on the edge of the boat, trying to sit up a little.
He looked straight at Su Mo as he spoke, and Su Mo looked at him without disguising himself.
Their eyes met.
Although it was well hidden, Su Mo still saw a flash of murderous intent in Luo You’s eyes.
“You’re really brave.”
Su Mo thought about it and was about to explain.
Unexpectedly, Luo Jiao took the lead and said foolishly: “Dad, this is my cousin, how could you forget it?”
“Your cousin?”
Luo You was stunned and became even more alert.
In fact, cousins can be considered to have a relatively close relationship, as his grandfather and the other person’s father are brothers.
Strictly speaking, if the other person’s father is older than his grandfather, then he can call him uncle. If he is younger, then he has to call him uncle.
But the problem is that there were only three brothers in his grandfather’s generation who survived the war.
He had never seen this cousin who appeared out of nowhere before.
“Look, this was given to me by my cousin. I just shot it.”
Luo Jiao took out the pistol from her waist and shook it, which immediately made Luo Xiang’s eyes widen.
He quickly snatched it and held it in his hand. The heavy and cold touch seemed to have magical power.
In just a moment, Su Mo’s unfamiliar face became extremely friendly.
“Uncle, uncle, do I have one too?”
“You want it too?” Su Mo walked up with a smile and took something out of his bag.
Another pistol was thrown to Luo Xiang right in front of Luo You.
Oh my god.
The three people on the boat stared with their eyes wide open and swallowed their saliva repeatedly.
They didn’t see when Su Mo gave Luo Jiao the pistol before, but now this scene is happening right in front of them.
What kind of luck did the Luo family have that they had such a relative come all the way here and be so generous to them?
Why don’t they have this luck?
“Luo Quezi, why are you still standing there? Call me uncle and maybe you can get what you want.”
Ma Benchun made another great assist.
After he said this, the excited Luo Xiang and Luo Jiao also felt something was wrong and quickly looked at Luo You.
“Uncle, are you from the Fourth Master’s family?”
“It seems that you finally remembered who I am.” Su Mo said casually. Although he had read in the information that Luo You only had three grandfathers, he believed that sometimes dealing with smart people did not require too much explanation.
As expected, Luo You showed excitement on his face, and said happily: “We haven’t seen each other for many years since we were kids. I can’t remember who it is at this time. Don’t be angry, uncle.”
“Hurry, you two, come here quickly, this is your fourth master’s son, your cousin!”
“Uncle!” The two children shouted happily, both looking at Su Mo with wide eyes.
That kind of kindness that comes from the heart can never be faked.
“What a wonderful scene! This family can be reunited in the wasteland.”
Old Zhang stood aside and sighed quietly, but after he finished speaking, he looked at Old Gong with some doubt: “I remember you said before that this big guy is called Ji Long, isn’t his last name Ji?”
“Damn, are you stupid? Do you use your real name when you go out with strangers?”
“Oh, I forgot. I just said it.” Lao Zhang slapped his head.
A few people chatted about family matters for a while, and at Su Mo’s suggestion, the two boats sailed side by side towards the reed marsh.
In the middle, Lao Zhang volunteered to jump onto the boat on the opposite side, took the bamboo pole from Luo Xiang’s hand and started paddling.
He did nothing that night, and he would be nervous about taking the money if Su Mo gave it to him.
It would be better to do this kind of easy physical work. Who knows, Su Mo might be happy to give him two more pieces?
Facts have proved that Lao Zhang’s calculations were correct.
As soon as the two boats stopped in the reed marsh, Su Mo took out a handful of candy from his bag and shared it with everyone.
Lao Zhang took five of them openly, peeled a candy and put it in his mouth.
Tsk.
So fucking sweet.
It was even sweeter than the Elbis candy he remembered, and it was even a little choking.
“Uncle, where are you from? How do you know we are here?”
“Uncle, this candy is so delicious, Dad, can you open it and try it?”
“Uncle, are you coming here to stay, or are you going to take us with you?”
“Uncle.”
The two children surrounded Su Mo. Old Ma, who kept calling him uncle, felt jealous and wished he could join them and call him uncle too.
Su Mo tilted his head and thought about it, and did not lie to the two children.
“My cousin came here to take you away to my territory. It’s much better there than here.”
“Well, then when are we leaving?” Luo Jiao’s eyes flashed, and she said, “I believe whatever you say.”
Luo Xiang was stunned for a moment, and whispered: “Uncle, we live quite well here, close to the water, with lots of fish. Is your territory close to the water?”
“Still fishing, you silly boy. It’s such a waste to give you a gun.”
Lao Ma’s great assist added another point.
“Follow your cousin and you’ll have a good time. Why would you bother fishing? Don’t you think so?”
“Yes, yes, it’s a good thing to be down-to-earth, but there are too many jealous people around you. Some people can’t live well themselves and don’t want others to live well. If you have the chance to leave, leave as soon as possible.” Old Gong continued.
“If we had a cousin, we would probably pack up and leave tonight.”
“That’s true.”
The three of them talked one after another. Luo Xiang tilted his head and thought about it. It seemed to be true.
They want to live a quiet life, but there are people in the wasteland who don’t want them to live in peace.
It would be better to leave here, find a stable place and start over, maybe life will get better.
And with the help of this mysterious cousin, they can’t be worse off than they are now, right?
Luo Xiang paused and looked down at Luo You, who was sitting in a wheelchair and hadn’t spoken a word.
“Dad, when are we leaving?”
“Let’s leave tomorrow. Let’s leave tomorrow.” Luo You laughed dryly, which sounded a little forced.
But the two children did not dwell on this, their minds were all focused on the prospect of leaving here soon.
“Luo Xiang, go ahead and see if there’s anyone else over there. Luo Jiao, you can shoot and teach your brother a lesson. I’ll push your dad so we can talk after not seeing each other for a long time.”
“okay.”
Seeing the two children jumping away happily without any doubt, Luo You smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Being smart is smart, but it does not mean experience.
The wasteland only taught them how to survive, and the intrigues between people still require them to suffer losses in order to make progress.
“Uncle, tell me your purpose.”
Feeling a pair of warm hands appearing behind him, Luo You’s hair stood on end and he was the first to speak.
“My cousin wants to make a deal with you.” Su Mo lowered his voice.
“It must be difficult for you to stay here alone and have to survive while studying the language of a foreign race, right?”
“What?”
Luo You was startled and turned around, his face full of suppressed shock.
This was the biggest secret he kept in his heart and he never told anyone, not even his two children.
Now that it was revealed by an outsider, he instantly felt as if his underwear was seen through.
“I will ensure your survival and provide you with a suitable environment.”
“In exchange.”
“I need you to help me decipher some foreign languages. Of course, this is work and it’s paid. You can use the money I give you to buy all the daily necessities.”
