Fire Dragon Castle, Temple of Meditation.
"What? Tens of thousands of souls came over at once?" An Nantian exclaimed.
"Yes, and this number has already passed the Soul Eater Flower District, counting those who have not passed, close to half a million. The herald replied.
Annan paced back and forth a few steps and ordered: "Let the soldiers maintain order, tell them to disperse and pay attention to the situation around them." In addition, Granny Meng left some people there to help. These newcomer souls, this time let's arrange them to the Spirit Butterfly Clan first, they have a big place there. Go for it. ”
"Yes!" the herald took the order, turning and leaving.
An Nantian came to the window, his brows furrowed.
500,000 people died at once, what happened in the world?
An Nantian lifted his sleeve, revealing the fire dragon clan's guide hour hand, and connected to An Qi.
"Kiki, where are you?" asked Annantian.
"I'm on my way to Castle Butterfly. Angel's voice came from inside.
"What are you doing in Lingdie?" said Annan Tianqi.
"Go and see Brother Xiaobai and Sister Yu Yao, we have formed an alliance, Sister Yu Yao and I will definitely meet and explain some things clearly. Angel said.
"That's fine. How's going on with your Uncle Dugu?"
"The situation on his side is not very good, father, the food must be delivered to them as soon as possible. ”
"The food is already on its way, and it won't be long before it gets to them. Kiki, my father just received the news, hundreds of thousands of souls suddenly poured in from the underworld, I have already sent someone to maintain order, there are nearly 50,000 people in the Soul Devouring Flower District, these people are arranged in the Spirit Butterfly Castle first, you just go there to pick it up. These 50,000 mouths, we only have a little surplus food to contribute to them, I have to go to Shixiang Castle to meet Shi Tielin, I hope he can understand the overall situation and send some food. ”
"Uncle Shi, I think it's enough, I'll discuss it with Sister Yuyao to see if there's any other way. Touch base. ”
"Well, be careful on the road, Kiki. ”
"You too. ”
After hanging up the call, An Nantian walked out of the hall, thought for a moment, and said to the little soldier beside him: "Let Doctor Fang come over and go to the Stone Elephant Fort with me." ”

......
After Xiao Yuyao left the Feather Flower Pavilion, she went straight to the home of Lian Yili, a major pharmaceutical family of the Lingdie Clan.
The Lian family has made a living by making medicinal materials for the Xiao family for generations, with precise craftsmanship and loyalty. Like Lianjia, there are three other relatively large pharmaceutical merchants, the Wu family, the Yu family, and the Xu family.
Before Old Man Xiao Ran ascended to the throne, the medicinal materials made by the four families had to be handed over to the Xiao family, and there could be no left. Therefore, what the four families eat is the royal meal of the Xiao family, and what they receive is the salary of the Xiao family.
Later, due to the gradual decrease in population, labor costs began to rise, coupled with the reduction of raw materials for drugs, it was difficult to obtain, and labor costs were even higher and higher, and the four gradually made ends meet. Old man Xiao Ran saw it, so he allowed Lian Wu and the Xu family to start enjoying the right to sell medicines, and ordered them to hand over two-thirds of the amount of medicinal materials in the past, and the remaining one-third could be sold by themselves to make a profit, so as to maintain the normal operation of their four family ministers, but the premise is that the list of medicinal materials for sale should be reported to the Xiao family, in case someone maliciously buys and sells or produces any other moths.
After the four got the right to sell, they opened their own stores, made their own medicines and sold their own medicines, bringing the greatest profits at the lowest cost, and the lives of the four began to improve, and they were even more grateful and respected to the Xiao family.
Lian Yili has passed the ear of the year, has been through the wind and snow for a long time, and his heart is like an ancient well. If it weren't for the fact that what happened in his house the day before yesterday was too weird, he wouldn't dare to bother his eldest lady to run to his home.
After Xiao Yuyao came to his house, he didn't even say a word, and directly took Xiao Yuyao to his family's medicine storage warehouse.
When Xiao Yuyao saw it, she couldn't help but stretch her neck and was surprised. I saw that on the ground of this huge warehouse, a big black hole was very eye-catching. Xiao Yuyao, under the leadership of Lian Yili, cautiously came to the side of the big cave. The diameter of the large hole is about one meter, and it is so dark that there is no light in sight.
Lian Yili immediately told Xiao Yuyao that early the morning before yesterday, the family found that the medicine storage warehouse had been stolen, and all the stored medicinal materials had been stolen, and the drug thief should have come from the hole in the ground. He asked the family to climb down the hole to see where it led, and found that it led to a house next to Lian's house. The owner of that family is Lao Li Tou, a neighbor for many years, because there are many people who come to the Lingdie clan to rent a house, and a few years ago Lao Li Tou changed it into a rental house, and now it is empty.
Lian Yili found Lao Li Tou and wanted to ask him who his previous tenant was. Lao Li Tou looked at the big pit on the ground, and after scolding his mother, he touched his brain, and remembered that he didn't know what the tenant looked like, but he remembered that a middle-aged man was wrapped tightly up and down, with a black mask on his face, and only his eyes were exposed. Then Lao Litou's attention was all focused on the white silver, and he never thought about exploring anything again. Now that this is happening, if it weren't for the fact that he has been a neighbor of the Lian family for many years, Lao Li Tou would not be able to wash it if he really jumped into the Lechuan River.
Lian Yili saw that the clue was broken, so he didn't want to pursue it anymore, but it was a pity that it was his own batch of stolen medicinal materials. The batch of medicinal materials was just prepared. Because it was not yet time to send medicinal materials to the Xiao family, they were temporarily stored in the warehouse, and they were stolen. Nowadays, the raw materials of many drugs are contaminated and can no longer be used, and the loss is actually far greater than the value of the lost medicinal materials.
Who knows, the front foot sent away Lao Li Tou, and even a gift ushered in the family of Wu Yuxu's three families, the three of them were also stolen, the situation was the same, the medicine storage warehouse was dug up and emptied.
Lian Yili hurriedly went to the three houses to check the scene, and found that the tunnels where the three of them appeared led to the rental houses next to the three residences, and the tenants of the three rental houses were all like the tenants of Lao Li Tou, covering their faces, afraid of seeing the wind, coming to see a doctor, renting for a month, double the rent, and cash, and the masked man rented the four rooms around their four houses on about the same day.
Lian Yili and the heads of the other three families felt that this matter was too strange and important, and if it was delayed, they could not afford to bear the responsibility, so they hurriedly ordered a member of the Wu family to report to the Xiao family.
I thought that the patriarch Xiao Yunfei or Ye Ci would come in person, but I didn't expect that Lian Yili and others came to Xiao Yuyao.
