Chapter 954: Cannibalism
It's already June, and it's getting more and more unbearable in the noon sun, and in the Tong Mansion, it has been half an hour later that Jinxiu has placed Tong Qi, who is having a high fever.
A cup of diluted Lingquan water went down to the stomach, Tong Qi's condition quickly improved, coupled with the traditional Chinese medicine prepared by Jinxiu himself, as well as the boiled soft minced meat porridge, the sick little face quickly became ruddy, and Tong Lan, who was only looking at it, said yes again and again, and later became even more red.
Jinxiu comforted him, and let the old man also have a meal with them, and then he sat in the hall and said, "Uncle Tong, let me introduce myself, my surname is Jin, I am a businessman, and there is also my business in this Los Angeles City, and there are three shops in Luochuan Alley..."
Although Tong Lan was surprised when he heard this, he just nodded honestly to indicate that he knew, but he could see that this Jin Gongzi wanted to say more than that, and Jinxiu really did not disappoint him, and even said something that surprised him
"I'm originally from Surabaya, and although Surabaya has also suffered, someone has developed a way to turn seawater into fresh water, so although everyone's life is a little embarrassing, it is not bad. Seeing that the old man in front of him widened his eyes in disbelief, Jinxiu hurriedly waved his hand and continued
"As for why I came to Los Angeles, it was because I heard the news from my store staff and knew that it was difficult here, so I transferred them back and brought some food and water here to do what I could, and by the way, I saw if there was a way to make the life of the people in Los Angeles better.
However, today I waited outside the city gate, but by the soldiers guarding the city gate a lot of trouble, so I got acquainted with you, I want to ask, what is the situation in this city, although you Jin heard some people below, but still want to ask for peace of mind in person. ”
Tong Lan didn't know whether he was happy or sad when he heard this, and sighed, "Evil, ....." Before Jinxiu and the others asked, the old man had already explained
"It shouldn't have been so difficult, but the price of food has grown too high, and the governor here doesn't care about this matter at all, although we people have some food in their homes, but in the long run, it is not a matter at all, not to mention those who are not rich and only rely on making work for people to supplement their families, not to mention the little old man's family..... Hey....."
With a long sigh, I don't know how much bitterness I have exhausted, now not only Jinxiu understands that even Donghuang and Chu Ke are clear, Donghuang grinned, and pretended to slap the table with a big grin
"Isn't the governor here not a good official? But it will really hold people back, the group of homeless people in the northeast is making a lot of trouble, he has food but does not give the people food, and he raises the price, tsk... If the old man is here, I'm afraid that this bullshit Zhizhou would have picked up his pants and ran away....."
What is the old man of Xiaoyaowang, what is running away with pants, Jinxiu couldn't smile bitterly when she heard such words, but because of her brother's gags, Jinxiu's mood was indeed much better, so she thought about it and said
"Uncle Tong, although Jin doesn't have any great skills, but there is still food and whom, I came here to help the people tide over the difficulties, and now I want to give porridge and water here.
But my shop was locked early, and I don't know anyone here, I don't know if it's okay to occupy your door, in return, I will give you a pound of rice and five pounds of water every day...."
Tong Lan glanced at Jinxiu when she heard this, and solemnly arched her hand, "Childe is a good person, and the little old man doesn't twist, so he can only say thank you." Seeing Jinxiu's kind nod, Tong Lan started talking again
"It is said that Xiao Lao'er's family also has thin assets, that is, although there is not much food stored at home, it is enough for our grandchildren to chew, but Xiao Lao'er really underestimates people's hearts, I originally wanted to give some silver to make their own living, but who would have thought that these people actually ran around the city's homeless people to come to my house to rob them!"
This old man who looks at him with a good temper is gritting his teeth with hatred at the moment, "I Tong Lan has lived most of my life, although I can't be called a good person, but I don't treat people well, and my friendship for decades is just lost under the scumbag of those scum, if I didn't run fast with Qi'er, I don't even know if I have a life." ”
Speaking of this, Tong Lan's face turned pale, he glanced at the three of Jinxiu, and said with trembling lips, "I didn't want to talk about it here, but I've heard of the name of Youma, and I heard that there are traces of it in all major state cities and towns in the Northern Regions." Tong Lan took a deep breath before continuing, "It is true that several sons are capable people, but now there are really wicked people in this city, he, he eats people....."
Jinxiu's pupils have shrunk, and the recent disaster has been serious, and the frequency of Sihai Teahouse to explore news has been reduced a lot under Jinxiu's strict order.
In some places, after the closure of such a supply place and the transfer, those informants will inevitably have a hard time, so, in addition to those necessary prosperous places, where there is accurate information, Splendid has been slowly closing the net.
But Ren didn't expect that in this city, where the people were living in a difficult situation because of Zhizhou's selfish desire to raise food prices, someone had already begun to eat people.
"Forgive Jin for being presumptuous, how do you always know?" Jinxiu didn't notice how dry her voice was when she said this, although her complexion did not change, but the momentum that suddenly burst out from her body made the people in this room a little unbearable.
After Jinxiu reacted and restrained his momentum, Tong Lan sighed before continuing: "On that day, those white-eyed wolves in my family and those homeless people swept away this courtyard, and I was afraid of hurting our grandchildren, so I took advantage of the chaos and ran out.
Because I was afraid that they would chase after me, I walked in the alleys that few people walked, but this time, I accidentally fell on my head and fell into the haystack on the side, and a pair of stumps came out, even if the little old man never saw it again, he could recognize the tooth marks on the dry bones hanging with shredded flesh, that, those were all human ....."
Jinxiu watched Tong Lan gasp for breath after speaking, but her heart was inevitably a little heavy, and at this moment, there was a very clear cooing sound outside the house, Jinxiu restrained her mood, said to Tong Lan and hugged her fist, and walked towards the door, because the cry of this pigeon was a bit like one of the ones she left at home.
Not to mention that after Jinxiu left, Donghuang, who had been playing the role of a gentleman boy, also sank his face, and even Chu Ke also half-lowered his eyelids and began to think about something, only saying that this Jinxiu opened the letterhead on the pigeon's leg and looked at the words on it before he was stunned
"On the tenth day of the sixth month, the flowing water feast?"
