It is better to live your own life, and when you survive this hungry year, maybe the adults will add monthly money to them when they are happy. When the time comes, he will be able to buy some delicious food with his wife and children, and he will not have to gnaw on the bark of the roots of the Narausch grass.

Lao Zuo, who walked with the crowd, looked at the sky excitedly, and the moon quickened his pace and walked towards his house in the west of the city, kicking a few warm baked naan in his arms.

In the deep alley, there were only a few dim lights swaying in the wind, and there was silence all around. There were only a few houses in the huge corner with the lights on, and there were still whispers. The pouring moonlight stretched Lao Zuo's shadow on the ground, and he hummed some unknown tune in his mouth.

But before he could reach the door, a figure stepped out from behind him, and quickly knocked him unconscious. The man was not in a hurry to take Lao Zuo away, looked around and made sure that no one was following, and only then did he pick up Lao Zuo, jumped to the ridge of the roof, and after a few successions, the figure disappeared into the corner of the west of the city.

When Lao Zuo woke up, it was already the hour, he rubbed his eyes, and subconsciously touched the roasted naan in his arms. When he didn't touch the roasted naan for a long time, he showed distress on his face, which was the mutton roasted naan that he had finally obtained.

On weekdays, the family can only eat some wild vegetable porridge or a bland gruel that can no longer be bland, where can you eat such good food. Now that the baked naan is gone, he doesn't know what to do with his wife and children when he returns, but this is the gift he promised them to bring back.

The undead old Zuo stretched his neck and looked around, this was a very ordinary house, only slightly better than the one he lived in, not so broken. After a while, his eyes were drawn to the plate of food on the table, and he crawled over with his hands and feet, and struggled to stand up. I found out that the food on the table was the mutton roast naan I bought.

The food was recovered, and Lao Zuo was naturally happy. Although the naan was already cold, Lao Zuo still wrapped them in oiled paper again and put them in his arms very carefully. The movements are gentle, as if they are afraid that if they are too violent, they will crush the naan.

After the roasted naan was properly placed, Lao Zuo came back to his senses. Now he was in a completely unfamiliar place, he ran to the door and pushed the door outward, but there was nothing to respond to him except the sound of chains shaking.

Although Lao Zuo likes to act alone, he has never made enemies with others, and he really can't think of who would kidnap him. The unrelenting Lao Zuo continued to hair his legs, and the only thing that responded to him was the shaking of the chains.

Seeing this, Lao Zuo had no choice but to stand by the door and shout at the door, hoping that someone passing by could save him. But there was no response to him, and a trace of despair stained his countenance. His wife and children were still waiting for him at home, and he had to find a way to escape from this place as soon as possible.

After thinking about this, Lao Zuo examined the house to find all kinds of tools that could pick locks. But there was nothing in the room except a bed, a stool, and an oil lamp. As the hour got later and later, the anxiety on Lao Zuo's face became more and more serious, and he began to kick the door hard in an attempt to kick the door open.

After a few kicks, the door finally shook a few times. But nothing more than a thick layer of ash fell, and it was lost in the air in an instant. Just as Lao Zuo was about to kick the second kick, the door creaked open.

Seeing this, Lao Zuo took a few steps back. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Xie Yaoguang standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands and looking up at the moon, his eyes were deep. happy

"Who are you? I have no grievances with you, why did you arrest me here. After seeing that the other party was a woman, Lao Zuo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a woman who held him hostage, otherwise he really didn't know if he would be able to get out of it with his whole body.

After turning around, Xie Yaoguang glanced at Lao Zuo, who was not far away, and said patiently, "You asked a lot of questions. But don't worry, I didn't have any ill intentions in kidnapping you. ”

His own people followed Lao Zuo all the way, not to mention what Lao Zuo did on the road, Xie Yaoguang knew everything, although this Lao Zuo in front of him did not act as righteously as Lao Guo who guarded the city gate, but he still had good thoughts.

At this time, he is also willing to give his wife and children some food with the meager reward he gets. Lao Zuo is different from others, and the people he puts first are his wife and children from beginning to end.

"If that's the case, why are you holding me hostage? I'm just a regular janitor. Originally, the family didn't have much money left, and they used to be able to rely on a few thin fields to survive......" As he spoke, Lao Zuo raised his head and cried.

Now he doesn't want to think about anything, he just wants to get out of here as soon as possible. In the past, when there was no drought, the family could still rely on those few thin fields, but this drought not only did not end, but became more and more severe.

Knowing that this person is afraid that he has already pounced, where will there be an opportunity to be able to get together for dinner like this today.

All the food they had saved before was taken away by the Xue family and stored in the warehouse, and after the drought occurred, many people went to ask for money, but the Xue family ignored him at all, and most of them did not ask for any food. Fortunately, the wife can also spin some gauze to subsidize the family, and if it is not enough, the wife says that they can also make some embroidered handkerchiefs or sachets to hang in the market and sell.

"I said you don't have to panic. I just want to know how I can get into the Seven Phoenix Tower. After taking a deep breath, Xie Yaoguang glanced up and down at Lao Zuo and admonished gently, "Don't you want to hurry home and visit your wife and children?" ”

After hearing Xie Yaoguang's words, Lao Zuo's eyes moved, but he didn't know what to say, although he also knew that the conditions offered by this person were very tempting, but he also knew that if he agreed to his request, he was afraid that the adults would not let him go easily if they knew.

Thinking of this, Lao Zuo felt more and more contradictory, and he desperately wanted to leave here and return home. But it seemed that he had no other choice than to promise this person to tell him how to sneak into the Qifeng Tower.

"You don't have to worry, no one will know I've looked for you. After you go out, you can continue to live here with your wife and children in peace. These things will soon be over. Xie Yao still had a gentle smile on her face, and she rarely lost her temper on weekdays, so it was easy for people to let down their guard and get close.

Thinking that his wife was still waiting for him at home, Lao Zuo made up his mind and asked Xie Yaoguang for a pen and paper to draw the approximate location of Qifeng Tower. After getting what he wanted, Xie Yaoguang also happily kept his promise to let Lao Zuo leave and gave him a lot of silver by the way.
