Chapter 140: Traces of the Corpse Clan
Xin Yao sat on the chair, her mind was restless and secretly worried, she was thinking about what to do when Wang Lang came over later? I had never been in such a mood before, and when she came, she came, but recently, as long as she thought of Wang Lang, her heart beat extremely fast.
A figure flashed at the door, is he coming? Xinyao looked up and saw that it was He'er, she was relieved and disappointed.
"Miss, why are you still sitting here, didn't you say that you went to see the young master?" He'er saw Xin Yao sitting on the chair, immediately took her hand, and walked outside.
"He'er, slow down." Xin Yao saw He'er pulling her in a hurry, and immediately said, "What's the hurry." ”
Seeing Xinyao's overly shy expression, He'er was worried about her, "Miss, I can inquire, early this morning, that little lotus threw herself directly into the arms of the young master, if you don't fight, I can't say that the little goblin will climb on your head in the future." ”
Originally, my heart was full of anticipation and nervousness, but after hearing He'er's words, I suddenly felt a breath on my chest, uncomfortable. "He'er, let's go back."
Looking at Xin Yao, who flicked her sleeves and turned around and ran back, He'er widened her eyes with a pair of watery eyes, and said in her heart, Miss, you can't do this, how can you be jealous at this time, otherwise how can you fight Xiaolian. Although Xiaolian has a good relationship with her, she still looks towards her own miss, and she can't let her suffer.
He'er followed Xinyao and tried her best to persuade Xinyao, but unfortunately Xinyao's tone gathered more and more, and her face was melancholy like a black cloud before a storm. Seeing this, He'er knew that the young lady had drilled the tip of the horns and couldn't get out, so this matter could only be started on the young master, otherwise no one would have a problem.
met the whining Han family head-on, and the low-eyed Xinyu. Han raised his eyebrows, pulled his neck and said in a shrill voice, "Look at your aunt." Every day a lot of food is fed to the untouchables, but it is not a little nicer for our relatives, and we have not smelled meat for a long time. ”
Xinyu has a weak temperament, and in front of the strong Han family, he doesn't dare to express his opinion at all. She knew that her aunt was good enough for their family, and there were dozens of servants in a big family, and her aunt did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with them when the price of food was so high.
"What do you mean by not talking, do you think I'm not right?" Seeing that Xinyu was silent, Han Shi had a disapproving expression on his face, and immediately scolded angrily, "You are also the same as Xinyao's dead girl, all towards outsiders, why did I give birth to such a thing as you." ”
Xin Yao happened to see this scene, she didn't hide her disgust for Han, squinted, didn't even look at Han, and passed by directly.
"This dead girl, is there still me in my eyes?" Seeing this, Han turned his head and pointed at Xin Yao's back and scolded.
Standing at the door, looking at the piles of ragged and beggar-like hundreds of homeless people outside the door, he felt a burst of emotion in his heart. He had seen a picture of the homeless people and thought it was an exaggeration by the painter, but at this moment he knew that the real situation might be even more serious.
A large group of homeless people gathered at the door, and these people looked at the house with longing in their eyes, hoping to get the bowl of gruel as soon as possible. Most of these people are light and strong, with only a small number of women and children. The women and children were all excluded from the circle, and they could only look at the gate of the Wang family from afar, hoping that this time the house could give more porridge, and they could also take a sip to comfort the hungry stomach.
Wang Lang felt that he was no longer as good as before, and he could do something for these poor people, so he immediately turned around and went back to the main house, calling Uncle Zhong in front of him. Looking at the old housekeeper with wrinkles on his face, Wang Lang said what he meant, "Uncle Zhong, I see that there are too many homeless people outside, so I just organize these people to go outside the city to grow grain, anyway, our family still has a lot of idle fields, so we should do some good deeds and give them a way to live." ”
Uncle Zhong's face changed very excitingly, looked at Wang Lang, and said, "Young master, no one dares to go out of the city at all now, and those who are active outside the city are either bandits or monsters, although these people will starve to death sooner or later in the city, but let them go out of the city, they may die earlier." ”
"Monster, what monster." He was in a hurry for a day, and he didn't pay any attention to the movement outside the city.
"Young master, those who died, they crawled out of the grave at night and bit people everywhere, as long as they were bitten, it was a death, this is not the most terrible, the key is that these people who were bitten to death will also get up and continue to harm others."
Uncle Zhong showed a deep fear on his face, and said with a sigh, "Now in the city, many people can't even afford to burn firewood, so they can only dismantle furniture to burn firewood, just because there are no woodcutters in the mountains outside the city, and eight out of ten people who go out of the city to collect firewood can't come back, and now no one dares to risk death to go out of the city." ”
As soon as Wang Lang heard it, he knew that these monsters should be the corpse clan, and the race of the underworld was really fast, much faster than the original Hundred Eyes clan. Looking at the frightened Uncle Zhong, he asked, "Uncle Zhong, has there ever been such a monster in the city?" ”
"Young master, it's strange to say, there really hasn't been anything in the city, as soon as those people enter our Qingyuan, the monsters that were still chasing immediately retreated."
Wang Lang nodded and said to the old housekeeper, "Uncle Zhong, is there enough food for such porridge in the house now?" ”
"Young master, when there was not such chaos outside the city before, Madame made the decision, exchanged the treasure that the young master brought back for gold, and bought two thousand stones of grain to hoard it."
"How much, two thousand stones." Wang Lang was a little surprised, although his mother Li had said that he had put up some grain, but he didn't want to buy so much, Wang Lang looked at Uncle Zhong suspiciously.
Uncle Zhong nodded, "Young Master, there is no shortage of food for the time being, but if you continue to give alms like this, I am afraid that it will not last long, and it will be a disaster in the future." ”
Wang Lang agreed with Uncle Zhong's words, as the days go by, the city will become more and more short of food, and then the little food in the house may become the target of the hungry. If I don't come back, something big will definitely happen after a long time.
"Uncle Zhong, I'm going to go out of the city to see, there is still something missing in the mansion now, if there is something outside the city, bring some back by the way." Wang Lang said that he wanted to go out to explore the details of the corpse clan, but he didn't know how it compared to the blood clan.
"Young master, it's really not safe to go out of the city at this time, you just came back, don't take the risk." When Uncle Zhong heard that he was going out of the city, he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Uncle Zhong, have you forgotten, didn't I just walk into the city from outside the city last night? Those monsters can't help me, Uncle Zhong, don't worry. ”
