A few days later, June 20.

After a period of reconstruction, Xinyang Town gradually returned to its former glory.

The difference is that compared with before, the number of people in Xinyang Town has decreased by more than half, and it looks extremely deserted at this time.

In order to subsidize the residents of Xinyang Town, the official head subsidy of Envelope City is 200 federal coins per capitation, which has not been the case before.

During this time, Ren Hai has been studying the so-called compulsory Chinese course one at home, or under Li Meng's surprised gaze, Ren Hai is literate, Li Meng is also literate, and the brother and sister simply learn together.

As for squeak, Ren Hai hasn't seen it, he doesn't know where he ran to, when he was there, he felt a little annoyed, but he was really gone, and he still missed it a little.

It's weird!

As for the matter of the title deed that Aunt Shen said, I sent someone to tell me before that due to the appearance of sand scorpions, the soil is rich in a lot of toxins, and although this kind of land can be planted, the things grown are inedible.

According to the records of the Xia Dynasty of the Federation, the scorpion before the great change did not have this power, but the sand scorpion did.

It will take at least two years of crop cultivation to recover, which bothers Ren Hai.

Aunt Shen sent someone to ask, probably to be sure?

Ren Hai replied very simply, that is, no matter what, after all, it is his own needs.

Even if you can't eat what you planted in the first two years, what about after two years?

After a simple lunch, Ren Hai talked to Li Meng and went out.

Today he is going to go out and see the specific situation.

Along the way, I met some people, and most of these people had a sad expression on their faces, after all, after experiencing this kind of thing, the inner trauma could not be eliminated in a while.

In addition to these people, Ren Hai also saw some new faces, but most of them were old people, and they should have come from the rest of the market towns, which had no effect on Ren Hai.

From his cabin to the grocery store, pharmacy, etc., these shops are basically new, and the fire before has burned down too many houses.

However, as the main market town personnel, they were temporarily settled in the envelope city, and nothing happened, so the reconstruction of Xinyang Town was quickly completed.

I have to admit that after going through so much, those big people can easily deal with this kind of accident.

When passing through the south gate, a convoy walked out of the envelope city, and Ren Hai took a look, a standard combat company.

There were two thousand troops.

In recent days, there are often some companies taking turns to go out, according to Ren Hai's understanding, it must be not only Xinyang Town, but also the other three market towns.

If you dig deeper, Ren Hai guesses that it is very likely that he is going to investigate the situation around the Sealed City.

But from the team that came back, Ren Hai could see that there was no substantial progress.

Ren Hai looked at it for a moment, and then continued to spin.

"Did you hear that? This time the clones seem to be because they want to expand and take down Envelope City, and this attack is just a temptation in the early stage. ”

"I can't!" The other was clearly not quite convinced of the answer.

"Otherwise, why do you think you have sent so many troops outside recently, it's not to probe and be ready at any time."

"Yes, when I woke up last night, I found that there were a large number of supplies delivered to Envelope City, fresh fruits and vegetables, and most importantly, a large number of firearms."

.....

A large amount of news was inadvertently heard by Ren Hai, and Ren Hai remembered it in his heart, and he had heard of these actions to a certain extent.

Sometimes I even think that there are always some things that can't be explained about the clone and sand scorpion this time.

Thinking in his heart, Ren Hai unconsciously became curious again.

Zheng! Zheng!

Just as Ren Hai was thinking, a sound of tapping metal came into Ren Hai's ears.

This is? Blacksmith's shop.

There were some burnt marks around the blacksmith's shop, and although the soil was turned over, some burnt marks could still be seen, which was obvious.

Depending on the size of the blacksmith shop and how old it is, it is clear that it was also built later.

From outside the store, Ren Hai directly saw Master Ma who was striking iron, and thought of the clone he had seen in the Crescent Moon Forest before.

There's a good chance it's a trade between humans and clones.

With the mentality of wanting to find out, Ren Hai walked into the grocery store.

The scorching flames roasted Ren Hai's body.

"Master Ma." Ren Hai shouted.

"Huh? It's you? You're alright! Master Ma saw Ren Hai at a glance, and he had some intersections before.

From Master Ma's tone, some surprises could be heard.

Ren Hai rolled his eyes, can this Master Ma speak, what does it mean to be okay? Is it good that there is something?

"It's okay, I'm passing by today, I want to come and have a look." Ren Hai said casually.

His eyes looked around the grocery store.

If you ask directly, it is easy to cause Master Ma to think wildly, not that Master Ma is an eventful person, but in this world, no matter who it is, he will think more.

It is difficult for a person who is not vigilant to survive smoothly.

It is said that this situation did not exist a few decades ago, and it was relatively harmonious at that time, that is, in the last ten years, it has slowly become like this, and no one knows what the specific reason is.

Ren Hai saw that the standard axe on the wall of the wooden house was gone, so he asked casually: "Was the axe here put away by Master Ma?" ”

Master Ma stopped what he was doing, there was no list during this time, even if there were, it was just some pots and pans or something, and the two apprentices under him could do it.

Therefore, he did not continue to do it, and after hearing Ren Hai's question, there was more helplessness in his eyes, and at the same time there was some loss.

"It's not that I put it away, it's that I lost it." Master Ma was obviously a little uncomfortable, and he cried just when he lost it, after all, this was his father's design, but he didn't expect it to be passed into his hands, but he lost it.

"Oh? If you lose it, how can you lose it? Ren Hai was very surprised that in this blacksmith shop, he would actually lose it.

"Don't mention it, just the way you left that morning for two days, I lost it." Master Ma paused, looked at Ren Hai, and said, "I see that you obviously have something on your mind, so you can talk about it and see if I can answer it for you." ”

"It's before... The one I used to have, the Tang knife. Ren Hai almost wanted to ask directly, who customized the special strange arrow he saw that day before, so maybe it was a clue.

But after thinking about it, it was really not good to ask so directly, so I shifted the topic to Tang Dao.

Master Ma frowned and said, "What, what's wrong?" ”

"Well, something happened, I just want to know the origin of this Tang knife." Ren Hai said very vaguely, and he didn't say it directly, after all, when he met Yang Yi that day, something did happen.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, I suggest that you don't take out this knife easily in the future."

Master Ma glanced at Ren Hai, looked around again, and then stuck next to Ren Hai and said, "The previous owner of this Tang knife was used by a side of the Yang family. ”

"Yang's?"

This Yang, why does it sound so familiar?

"You may not know about the Yang family, after all, your horizons are still too small, so to tell you, the Yang family is a behemoth on this wasteland, and its power is all over the entire Xia Dynasty."

Master Ma's words are full of some sighs, it seems that when a person doesn't know something, he doesn't feel anything, but if he knows, it's not simply as if he doesn't know anything.

"What does it matter, can't it flow out and be bought by me?" Ren Hai still didn't understand it, but at least he remembered that when he met the people of the Yang family in the future, he should stay away.

At this time, Ren Hai thought of Yang Yi, but it should only be surnamed Yang, how could he be so lucky, and meet someone casually, who is the so-called Yang family.

"Generally speaking, Yang's Pharmacy has heard of it, it is Yang's." Master Ma thought that Ren Hai didn't know the strength of the Yang family, so he gave an example from around him.

Young's Pharmacy? Ren Hai thought of the Yang's Pharmacy that he saw in Pigeon Town, and there were some things he encountered.

Originally, I was going to go to the pharmacy owner to ask if there was a black five-petal flower on the corpse that day, but I was afraid that there would be some involvement, so I dispelled this idea.

"Of course, but what does this have to do with Tang Dao?" Ren Hai asked again.

"This Tang knife used to be the side line of the Yang family, and it is said that it was used by the Yang Building, and this Yang Building is responsible for all the industries of the Yang family here."

"Later, he died for no reason, and when he died, there was this Tang knife next to him, and there were blood stains on the blade, and after investigation, whether it was a wound or a trace of all aspects, the murder weapon was this Tang knife." After Master Ma finished speaking, he glanced at Ren Hai thoughtfully.

He still can't understand how Ren Hai, a low-level person, got this Tang knife.

This Ren Hai, whether in terms of knowledge or performance in all aspects, definitely does not look like a child of a certain family, at most he is a person who often walks on the wasteland, and has some strength.

"You mean to say that Yang Lou committed suicide?" Ren Hai understood what was going on in an instant.

"Yes, at least in terms of traces, it is, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is simply impossible." After Master Ma finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the fire pit.

Before, he was thinking about what kind of door there was here, but when Ren Hai got this Tang knife, it must be very likely that some people with intentions would use him to involve him and be a substitute for the dead or something.

It seems that there was really some accident, otherwise this kid would never have come to ask.

The reason why he told him this news was because, maybe it would be useful to this kid, so he saved this kid, and in addition, as long as some people who have news, know this news, and it will not have any effect on him.

"Thank you, Master Ma." Ren Hai thanked him, after all, Master Ma was willing to tell him the news, which was already very good for him.

"No, I don't see that my little brother has any stable job, do you want to come to me as an apprentice, just come when you have time, and I'll count you by the hour."

Master Ma casually mentioned that this young man has that special temperament, although he can't say it, he always feels that sooner or later this young man will do something.

"Okay." Ren Hai agreed without thinking about it, this is a matter of indifference, just promised, in case he really spends all his money like before, he really needs this kind of work.

As for what Yang Yi said, the danger is too great...

Wait a minute... Ren Hai suddenly remembered Yang Yi's attitude that day, as well as the questions he asked.

Could it be that this Yang Yi knows this Yang Lou, yes, it should be.

Not only that, Yang Yi must know Aunt Shen, but he doesn't know what the relationship between the two is.

Combined with the Yang Pharmacy I saw before, and the appearance of Yang Yi, the attitude of the Yang Pharmacy shopkeeper towards Yang Yi obviously has something to do with it.

Yang Yi, like Yang Lou, is likely to come from the Yang family, or someone who is originally from the Yang family, but I don't know if it is a collateral or direct line.

This side is a direct line, Ren Hai still knows, and the gap is huge.

After thinking about it, Yang Yi may be a direct line, after all, the previous Yang Lou was also a person in charge of the industry depending on the situation, but Yang Yi, this is the person who can get the envelope at any time.

The difference between this can be understood when you think about it.

The entire Xia Dynasty is an influential family, and it seems that he still looks down on Yang Yi.

Originally, I just wanted to learn about the strange arrows that day, but I didn't expect to get so much other news, although the effect was not very big, but I finally let many of my doubts get answers.

"By the way, Master Ma, the strange arrows I saw before, can you make me a set with a hand crossbow?" Ren Hai asked tentatively.

"That? What are you coming for? Master Ma frowned and asked.

"It's just used for self-defense, you can see it, if it doesn't work, forget it." Ren Hai behaved very casually, for fear that Master Ma would see something.

After listening, Master Ma's frowning brows stretched out, and said, "This, forget it, this can't be done easily." Master Ma waved his hand and said.

"Before that, how could there be such an order... Forget it, if it doesn't work, it won't work. Ren Hai revealed a little, and then moved away, he couldn't say too much, and if he said too much, he felt that he needed to know the news.

This can easily arouse Master Ma's suspicions.

"Before, how could it be the same? People have the seal of the Inspectorate of the Envelope City, this kind of arrow, the entire Envelope City, only a few people will do it, including me, but the people of the Inspectorate have said that except for their chapters, I am not allowed to do anything else, I thought what you wanted to do. ”

After Master Ma finished speaking, he turned around and began to strike iron.

"That's it, I'm just going out this time, I feel too dangerous, so I want to do some self-defense, since it doesn't work, then forget it, see you next time." After Ren Hai said hello to Master Ma, he left.

It seems that the things in this are not simple, not like what I see on the surface.
