Chapter 333: Mocheng [3]
The owner of the rice shop waved his hand; "I'm afraid it will disappoint the two guest officers, and the two guest officers should not be able to buy any food."
Su Wan had already guessed that he might not be able to buy anything this time.
The owner of the rice shop continued; "But there's a place where there's going to be food."
The corners of Su Wan's mouth hooked; "If I'm not mistaken, only the government still has plenty of food."
The owner of the rice shop nodded and did not speak.
Su Wan looked sideways at Chu Mo Handao; "Let's go."
The two left the rice shop and continued to walk in the direction of the north gate.
Seeing the open shop, Su Wan and Chu Mohan would ask if there was anything to eat, but the result was the same as the rice shop, although the door was open, there was nothing to sell.
Su Wan found that it was indeed the same as what the owner of the rice shop said, most of the people who stayed in Mocheng and did not leave were old, weak, sick and disabled.
The two came to the north gate of Mocheng, and the gate was closed at this time.
The two stopped a few meters away from the city gate.
Su Wan Dao; "Just as Light Breeze said, the city gate has been sealed, and no one is allowed to enter."
Su Wan raised his head and saw two or three soldiers standing on the city gate.
Chu Mo Handao; "It's almost noon."
"Let's go back first, maybe they can buy something to eat."
The two returned the same way and came to the meeting place, where Bi Xiaoyao had already arrived.
Su Wan saw that Bi Xiaoyao's hands were empty, and said; "You didn't buy anything to eat."
Bi Xiaoyao said a little helplessly; "There are a few shops that sell food, but they all tell me that they are gone."
Bi Xiaoyao saw Su Wan and Chu Mohan, just like him, empty-handed; "You didn't buy anything to eat?"
Su Wan nodded; "The situation of the two of us is the same as yours, and we can only pin all our hopes on the Pavilion Master of the Bright Moon Pavilion for now."
It didn't take long for the three of them to see the night scene empty-handed, walking towards this side.
Before the night scene walked in front of the three of them, Su Wan raised his voice and asked; "Have you bought any food?"
Night Scene shook her head.
Su Wan thought to himself, he should be like them.
Su Wan Dao; "Let's go back to the inn first, it's been a morning away, everyone should be tired."
The four of them walked from the main street into the small roll.
At the door of the inn where they were staying, the old woman was sitting at the door of the inn, basking in the sun and taking on the shoe mat.
When I looked up, I saw a group of four people.
"What are the four guest officers doing here?"
Su Wan replied; "Let's go around the streets and see if there's anything to eat."
The old woman smiled strangely; "Look at the situation of a few guest officers, there should be no food, a few guest officers live in my store for a day, I will never let a few guest officers go hungry, lunch I have ready, I will bring it to a few guest officers."
So saying, the old woman turned and entered the inn.
Su Wan and his party entered the inn hall.
The four protectors of the Light Breeze and the Bright Moon Pavilion are there.
The four of them found a seat and sat down.
Bi Xiaoyao said with some curiosity; "What did you say this old woman made us lunch?"
Su Wan remembered the cabbage bun he ate for breakfast; "It should be cabbage."
Chu Mohan and Ye Youjing both thought it was cabbage.
Bi Xiaoyao Road; "What do I think, how do I think this old woman is very weird, how can anyone sit in front of the store with shoe soles."
Su Wan felt that the old woman's behavior was normal.
She glanced at Bi Xiaoyao, and she didn't have a good airway; "Have you read too many ghost stories?"
At this moment, the old woman came with a large white porcelain bowl, and the old woman put the large white porcelain bowl on the table.
In a white porcelain bowl is boiled cabbage.
Putting down the water and boiling the cabbage, the old woman brought a few bowls of porridge and put them in front of everyone one by one.
Su Wan looked down at the porridge in front of him.
It's not so much porridge, it's actually about the same as water, and there aren't a few grains of rice in the bowl at all.
But everyone knew very well that it was good to have food without starvation.
After lunch, the night scene called the four Dharma protectors beside him.
He asked in front of everyone.
"What did you find?"
One of them, the Dharma Protector, who looked to be the oldest; "We found out how Taishou's son died."
Night Scene raised an eyebrow, and his voice was very calm; "Taishou's son was a blood-sucking youkai who died after sucking his blood."
"As the pavilion master said, Taishou's son was a blood-sucking monster, sucked the blood and died, that Taishou thought that the monster who sucked human blood was hiding in a corner of Mocheng, so he ordered the city to be closed, and Taishou posted a notice to find a capable person, if he could catch the monster that sucked human blood, he would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."
Su Wan couldn't help but chuckle; "Mocheng is almost like a ghost city now, most of the people in the city are old, weak, sick and disabled, and now that the city gate is sealed, it is impossible for anyone to enter, where will there be capable people."
The rest of the people all thought the same way as Su Wan.
But the elder Dharma Protector said; "The subordinates originally had the same idea as the Night Princess, but in just one morning, many people went to the Taishou Mansion, saying that they could catch the monster that sucked human blood."
Chu Mo laughed coldly; "People die for money, birds die for food, I'm afraid those people want to cheat and eat and drink."
Su Wan touched his chin and said; "It's a good idea."
"I think these people are too stupid to do it, if they can't catch the monsters that suck human blood, then how can Taishou let them go so easily." Bi Xiaoyao said.
Su Wan Dao; "I don't think so, I think they are very smart, now in the whole city, there is no food to eat, those who have not eaten, can only wait to starve to death, sooner or later they will die, of course I have to choose, to be a well-fed and well-fed ghost, who would want to be a hungry ghost."
She wanted to go to this Taishou's house and eat and drink.
The atmosphere in the hall of the inn suddenly became very quiet.
Half-ringing, Su Wan spoke; "I'm going to see Miss Leng's situation, I think we can also give it a try, you guys think about it."
After speaking, Su Wan picked up a bowl of porridge with almost no rice grains and walked to the second floor.
It wasn't until Su Wan's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs that Chu Mohan spoke; "I think Wan'er is right, we can indeed give it a try."
The night scene objected; "It's too sinister."
Bi Xiaoyao stood on the side of the night scene this time; "I also think this matter is too dangerous, if we can't catch the monster that sucks human blood, I'm afraid that the Taishou will click a few of us."
Bi Xiaoyao paused and continued; "Looking at your situation, I don't want to reveal your identity as the Night King, so this matter is very dangerous for me left and right."
How could Chu Mohan not know the danger of this matter.
From the little girl's shining eyes just now, he knew that the little girl was not just talking.
The atmosphere in the inn hall suddenly became solemn again.
