Chapter 41 Strange Goods Can Be Lived
Before Shen Luojun could react, he was directly held in Kang Damao's arms, and the next moment, the two of them only felt that their feet were empty, and the entire embankment was washed down, and then the surging flood swallowed the two of them in an instant.
After the second tiger and Abao in the back heard Kang Damao's shout, their instinctive reaction was to turn around and run under the embankment, and after running for a while, they found that Kang Damao did not follow, but rushed in the opposite direction to them, the raging flood had swept over, the situation was too dangerous, the two had no time to go back to the rescue, and watched Kang Damao and Shen Luojun being swept into the flood.
"Brother Da Mao!"
"Young owner!"
No matter how loud the two of them screamed, Kang Damao couldn't hear it, at this time Kang Damao and Shen Luojun hugged each other tightly, in the water, Kang Damao pulled away Shen Luojun's hand that was holding him, and he used his head to desperately push Shen Luojun towards the water, at this time he didn't have the heart to think about anything else, his only belief was to let Shen Luojun survive.
Shen Luojun's head was raised above the water and was flooded again in just a moment, just when the two were desperate, the flood directly washed them towards a big tree, at the last moment, Kang Damao's eyes were fast, he firmly grasped Shen Luojun with one hand, and grabbed the trunk of the tree with the other hand, and the two hung on both sides of the big tree left and right, fortunately not being washed away by the flood.
When this flood first rushed out, the momentum was fierce, and gradually the water level tended to flatten, Kang Damao took Shen Luojun to climb the tree with the help of the water at the right time, and finally the two were rescued by Erhu and Abao with the nearby people without danger.
The gap in the levee made the flood situation even more serious, and from time to time the levee continued to collapse, and in the afternoon, the entire Zhenjiang Mansion was already in mourning.
Zhenjiang Mansion is a little higher on a street that has not yet been affected.
"In the past, it was one stone of rice and one tael of silver, but now why is one stone of rice five taels of silver? You're making black money. ”
"That's right! Five taels of silver is too dark, and our Zhenjiang Mansion grain has never been sold at such a high price. ”
"Get the price down!"
"Get the price down!"
Many people with baskets and rice bags gathered in front of a grain store to theorize.
"If you want to buy it, hurry up, let me tell you the truth, today a stone of rice is five taels of silver, tomorrow it may be eight taels, ten taels maybe, the grain is here, you can buy it or not, the choice is in your own." The shopkeeper of the grain village stood at the door of the store and said arrogantly.
They had been hoarding food long before the dam had burst, and now they saw the right time to make a fortune.
The countless people who came to buy rice to save their lives around the door of the store gritted their teeth when they heard the words of the shopkeeper of the grain village, to buy or not to buy? However, the rice bought by the dozens of dollars on his body is not enough for the family to eat, how can he explain it when he goes home!
Suddenly, a guy from the grain village ran over and whispered a few words in the ear of the grain shopkeeper, and the grain shopkeeper immediately smiled on his face, and he waved his big hand and said loudly to the guy behind him: "It's closed, it's not for sale, if you want to buy it, come back tomorrow, haha!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the guy behind him began to open the door panel, and he really wanted to close the door.
When the people around saw this situation, they still didn't understand, the price would definitely increase tomorrow, and if it was really like what the shopkeeper said, a stone of grain would be sold for ten taels of silver, then they, the common people, could only wait to starve to death.
The shopkeeper of the grain village didn't care about this, he saw the expressions on the faces of everyone present and felt very proud: "Get rich, get rich, if this flood continues, it won't be long before he can make a lot of money." ”
"Please sell me a little, if I can't buy rice today, I won't be able to open the pot when I go back to my house, and the whole family is waiting for the rice to be cooked."
"Sell me a little, the family has been out of food for a day."
A few people almost knelt down and begged the shopkeeper of the grain farm, but the shopkeeper was still unmoved, but pushed the person who came forward to push him away.
"Black-hearted boss, damn it! You forced it, we robbed his shop. ”
"Go!"
"Grab the food!"
Someone took the lead, and in an instant, the crowd swarmed up, pressing the shopkeeper and the men to the ground, and everyone swarmed into the store.
Such a scene of riots caused by strange goods is happening everywhere in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and even, there is a street where all the shops have been robbed, the scene is quite chaotic, and for a time everyone in Zhenjiang Mansion is in danger, and the sudden outbreak of the riot is caused by the inaction of the government in the early stage.
Kang Damao has mastered this emergency, at this moment, he is leading people to his own granary, the granary can not have an accident, he is not making money from these grains, but now the real need for relief is those affected people, their homes have been flooded, have lost their basic living ability, these grains can save many people's lives at a critical moment.
When they arrived at the granary, they found that the granary was surrounded by people, all of whom were like wolves, but there was no real victim.
Shopkeeper Sun is confronting the people who are about to grab food here.
"Young owner, you can count it, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to keep the grain in this warehouse." Shopkeeper Sun wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said worriedly.
"It's fine!" Kang Damao comforted.
At this time, the crowd was in a commotion, and someone took the lead in pointing at Kang Damao, and everyone's eyes looked at Kang Damao.
"Look, this is Kang Damao, the young owner of the Kang family."
"Kang Damao, hurry up and open the warehouse to release grain, don't force us to do it."
"You profiteers have made enough black money, and now it's time to give back to our people."
"Don't talk nonsense with him, the brothers and sisters robbed him."
"That's right, it's you Kang Damao who robbed it, on!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of people were ready to rush in.
"Wait!" Kang Damao waved his hand to stop the crowd rushing up, he stared coldly at the guy who took the lead just now, this person seems to be an ordinary person, and the clothes he wears are also very ordinary, but the fine skin and tender flesh on his face betrayed him, Kang Damao, who has been in the mall for a long time, has a vicious eye, and he can see at a glance that this guy is by no means too poor to afford food.
That person was stared at by Kang Damao all the time, staring at him so much that his heart was furious, and seeing Kang Damao approaching him, he couldn't help but take two steps back.
The two tigers and Ah Bao behind Kang Damao didn't need his orders at all, and immediately came over and took down that person directly.
"Say, Who told you to bring the people to steal food?" Kang Damao asked as he stared at him as he approached.
"Let go of me, I don't know what you're talking about." The man turned his head and struggled, pretending to be innocent.
"I'll only give you one chance to explain, if I'm not satisfied, I'll take you to the government immediately, and you don't expect anyone to get you out of prison, I'm Kang Damao has a hundred ways to make you live in it as well as die." Kang Damao said coldly with his hands behind his back.
Regardless of whether there is a problem with this person, Kang Damao knows a truth, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as this person is subdued, others will naturally not dare to act rashly.
"I ...... I ......" The man's mouth slurred to prove Kang Damao's speculation.
"Take it away!" Kang Damao raised his cuffs and waved his hand.
When Erhu and Abao heard this, they immediately put this guy up stiffly.
"Don't, don't, I said, I said, it's Boss Shen and Boss Huang, they all instructed me, I'm just an errand boy, I don't want to go to jail."
"Boss Shen and Boss Huang? Make it clear. Erhu kicked the man hard behind him and asked sternly.
"It's the two grain village owners opposite the Kangjia Grain Farm, Shen Yuhai and Huang He."
"It's these two guys again, I haven't settled the account with you last time, and now I want to yin me, and I have also written down this account." Kang Damao's face was gloomy, and he had already branded these two people with revenge in his heart.
Take down the leader and appease the people, and the matter of this granary can be regarded as stable.
The people still refused to leave, Kang Damao was afraid of regeneration, he said ruthlessly: "Early tomorrow morning, my Kangjia Grain Village will build ten porridge sheds on Zhengyuan Street to give porridge, and give porridge for three days. ”
"I believe in you!"
"Thank you, young owner!"
"Good guy!"
The people were grateful, and bowed to Kang Damao before slowly leaving.
Kang Damao sighed in his heart: How can there be a natural mob! They were all forced to be anxious, and with the encouragement of well-intentioned people, these people took risks, only hating themselves for being weak and unable to save the people affected by the disaster in Zhenjiang Mansion from fire and water.
