Chapter 287: Reason

The sky was overcast, and the sun was covered by thick moisture. There was also a light drizzle in the air, falling on this "new" city.

This is PZ City, because it is the only stable place since the invasion of the demon clan, hundreds of people have moved around, especially those rich families before the invasion of the demon clan, all of them have crowded into the city, making today's PZ city seem too crowded.

Jiang Tao turned into a young man, holding a black umbrella, and walked towards the Dongshuang Lake in his memory.

The scene in front of him has really changed so much that Jiang Tao can't even recognize it.

Two years ago, it was a suburb, but now it's crowded, with makeshift tents and shacks.

Although the outside world is no longer as chaotic as it was at the beginning of the demon invasion, because of people's fear of the catastrophe that fell from the sky two years ago, there are still a few who choose to leave here, and most of them would rather starve here than leave this refuge.

However, the situation will improve in the next few days, and the lord of PZ City, Liu Wenyan, has announced the development of new territories and the establishment of villages farther away to grow food, and at that time, a large number of people will be forcibly relocated.

To be sure, Liu Wenyan's governance ability is not high, and the whole city is not a mess, but it can be regarded as poor.

Because of the war, there were very few farmers who farmed, and the performance of the machinery declined. The number of people who need to eat has increased dozens of times.

After two years of attrition, the whole city is in a state of food shortage, the crime rate in the city is ridiculously high, and incidents of smashing and looting occur from time to time.

This Liu Wenyan himself is a social person, of course he will not let other large-scale underground forces appear under his nose, but when people are poor, the constraints of law and morality are almost zero, and only a few people starve to death and do not steal and rob after all.

Therefore, no matter how forcefully Liu Wenyan suppresses it, it cannot change the fact that the crime rate in the city is getting higher and higher.

Coming to the vicinity of Dongshuang Lake, it seems to be clean and tidy to the surface.

It is rumored that because this is the lord's property, the lord has taken special care of it, and there are people patrolling every day, and there are no refugees living here.

But Jiang Tao knows the reason for this.

From a distance, the house is still the same as before, except that the signboard and facilities are a little old.

"Crunch!"

Before Jiang Tao could open the door of his house, he saw that the door opened automatically, and Jiang's mother took Wenwen's hand and walked out of it.

"Huh!" When Jiang's mother saw Jiang Tao, she was first shocked, and then asked, "Xiao Tao'er, today is not the fifteenth day of the new year, why did you come back so soon?" ”

"Ugh!" Jiang Tao was slightly stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

But no matter what Jiang Tao said, he is also a profound person, and as soon as his brain turned, he understood the key inside, and immediately said with a normal expression: "Today is to come back and take a rest." ”

"You work with Lord Liu, but you have to work hard, that person surnamed Liu is really good to our family." After Jiang Ma heard Jiang Tao's explanation, she said casually.

It turns out that in reality, Shu Si's setting for me is to work for Liu Wenyan, and I will come back on the fifteenth day of the new year!

"Mom, where are you going?" Knowing something, Jiang Tao was relieved, and now he didn't need to explain that he had disappeared for two years. Shu Si deserves to be my virtuous helper.

"Just finished eating, take Wenwen for a walk around the neighborhood." Jiang Ma said, she didn't plan to go out anymore, and entered the house with Jiang Tao. "You just came back, you're hungry, Mom will cook you a bowl of noodles."

"Thank you, Mom!" Jiang Tao agreed loudly, and then asked, "What about Dad and Big Brother?" ”

"Of course they went out to sell vegetables." Jiang's mother's voice came from the back kitchen, "In the past two years, the business of the water park has not been good, and it is too dangerous outside, so your father leveled a few acres of land behind it, planted some vegetables, and usually fished in Dongshuang Lake."

Now supermarkets can't buy them, so they can only sell these things.

Now money is not money, these things are replaced with rice, flour, oil and salt, and the days will pass, and I don't know when this day will be a head......"

Jiang Tao just asked, and Jiang's mother turned on the nagging mode.

In fact, although Jiang Tao did not work in Liu Wenyan, he still had a "salary". And it's also very rich, even if the family doesn't do anything, they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

It's just that my parents are used to working hard, and even the eldest brother thinks it's not good to rely on my younger brother alone, so I toss at home with my father.

If it was before, Jiang Tao's nagging method would naturally be trying to divert his attention, or directly take the opportunity to sneak out. But today, because I haven't seen each other for a long time, Jiang's mother's nagging also feels extraordinarily cordial.

After a while, Jiang's mother put a bowl of noodles on the table, and Jiang Tao ate it honestly and unceremoniously.

Jiang's mother saw that Jiang Tao was eating deliciously, so she happily said that there was still something in the pot, and she would finish eating it after a while, and then she took Wenwen's hand, planning to continue to go out for a walk to eat.

However, as soon as the door opened, I saw a little girl dressed in red outside.

When Jiang Ma saw it, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Xiaohong! Have you eaten, Auntie just made noodles here, do you want to eat them? ”

"I want to eat!" Xiaohong was not polite at all, and quickly agreed.

"Come here and sit down!" Jiang's mother led Xiaohong to the opposite side of Jiang Tao, let Xiaohong sit down, and then served a bowl of noodles from the back kitchen.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Xiaohong said very politely, then picked up the chopsticks and ate slowly.

"Eat first! I'll take Wenwen out for a walk, Xiaohong, Wenwen will come back to play with you in a while! Jiang Ma said, took Wenwen's hand, and walked out the door.

"You seem to know them well?" Jiang Tao took a sip of noodles and said seemingly casually.

"The husband is still angry with the concubine!" Xiaohong, that is, Shu Sifu at this time, said with a smile.

"Nope!" Jiang Tao finished the noodles in the bowl in two by three, "Knowing that you and your mother are doing this, there must be some intention that I don't know." ”

said that he went to the back kitchen and filled a bowl, and my mother finally made it, but it couldn't be wasted.

"The master did it for the good of her husband." Shu Si persuaded hard.

Jiang Tao knew that he hadn't come back for two years, and there was actually a calculation of ten thousand laws, and the feeling in his heart was really indescribable.

"Yes!" Jiang Tao took the bowl and sat down again, "The invasion of the demon clan is so dangerous!" ”

"Don't underestimate this danger, these invaders are backed by great power." The smile on Shusi's face remained unchanged, and she continued: "The reason why the master prevented the husband from coming back is not for this reason......
