Taking his grandson to a different world Chapter 50 Buying food in advance to make plans, the victims entered the city and the whole city panicked
My father and mother and I had a discussion about the destruction of Yuntai Town, and the result was that the Malaysian-faced prime minister was too insidious! He first asked the gods to destroy the people's houses, so that the people had no place to live, so he turned to the current emperor for help. If the emperor can't solve the housing problem of the people, once the people are displaced, the world will be in chaos.
"This is not the most serious problem. I'm worried about eating. You say these gods won't burn the granaries everywhere, right? "My mother thought a little more deeply.
"That's a problem. The granaries of these places were reserved for the people of these great cities, the officials of the government, and the officers and soldiers who defended the cities. If the granary is burned again. There must have been chaos in the world that day. "I extrapolate from my mother's words.
"Then let's hurry up and buy more food and store it at home!" Aoyama also joined in the fun. But - Aoyama seems to have a point! I couldn't help but think of the scene when the Qingsong family fled to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. It was because they didn't have many spiritual fruits at home that they ran out to find a way out.
"Yes, yes, we need to buy some food for at home." My mother also echoed the green mountains.
"It's not that exaggerated!" Although my father is the leader of the analysis of the matter, he seems to feel that there is no need for the matter of preparing food.
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of whatever. Daddy, you take care of your children at home first. I went outside with the rocking chair to see what was going on. "The more I think about it, the more I think it's very likely that there will be a food shortage.
"Rocking chair brother, come and go out with me." I walked into the courtyard and saw the rocking chair in its original form with a tencel handkerchief lying on it. The two of them were chatting enthusiastically.
"What's the matter? Don't you see people talking about business? The rocking chair muttered unhappily.
"Drop everything down. If you two still want to eat with us in the future, don't say anything, come with me. I waved at the rocking chair.
"What's so stressful about it?" When Tencelpa saw that I was so serious, he quickly got up from his rocking chair. The rocking chair shook and turned into a human form.
"Let's go buy food." I pulled up my rocking chair and walked out as I spoke.
"Do you need me to buy food?" As soon as the rocking chair heard me say that it was to buy food, it pursed its lips, and seemed to feel that it was an insult to it.
"We're going to have to buy a year's worth of food. Who do you say I'm not looking for, you're looking for someone? I patted the shoulder of the rocking chair.
"A year's worth of food? You're exaggerating, aren't you? Where do you put such a small courtyard? "The rocking chair looked at me like a fool.
"yes, you're right. Where do we put the food? I stood depressed at the door and looked into the courtyard.
"Ba'er, come, you take this. This is your father's little treasure, called the universal cabinet. You don't have to look at it as a ring, but it can hold a lot of things. Don't lose it. My dad said as he removed a ring from his finger and handed it to me.
"Dad, you're not kidding me, are you? Why should I put this thing in there? I glanced at the ring in my father's hand and pouted.
"Say you don't know much, you still don't admit it. You see. My dad gently pressed the face of the ring, and with a "flutter--" sound, the little ring turned into a large basket-like cabinet.
"It's fun. I've only heard of it before, and I haven't seen it yet. This time, I've seen a lot. "The rocking chair is quite heavy when it carries the cabinet.
"I'm telling you, this half of Ning'an City can be installed in it, do you believe it or not?" My dad smugly smirked at the rocking chair.
"It's that big?" The rocking chair's gaping mouth almost closed. I poked my head out and looked inside the cabinet, and I couldn't see anything in the dark. It seems to be very deep!
"Go and go, you two can buy as much stuff as you can here. Be careful, though, don't let people see that this is a treasure. "My dad reminded me again.
"Good, good. I'll pay attention. Definitely bring your darling back. I hastened to reassure my dad.
I walked with the rocking chair to the East Market and then to the West Market. You can't buy too much food in a market, otherwise someone will find out that something will definitely go wrong. When I came out of the West Market, I calculated that the contents of the universal cabinet were almost enough for our family to eat for more than half a year, and decided to stop and go home.
"Let's let, let's let, hurry up!" Just as I was walking home with a string of sugar gourds in our hands, we saw a few fast horses galloping on the road, and the people on the horses shouted while shaking the whips in their hands.
"What's going on?" The people next to them asked each other, all of them showing curiosity.
"It's definitely not good." I muttered. Because the man on the horse looked tired and anxious, shouldn't he be elated if it was a good thing?
"Ouch, another gang!" The rocking chair shouted as he looked into the distance. I took a look, but no, not far away there were several fast horses galloping towards me.
"Looks like something big is going on!" Someone shouted. The people in the street began to stop and watch, trying to peek out some doorway from the horse's face.
"Hehe, another batch!" The rocking chair shouted again. I see, this --- can't be the result of our discussion at home?
"Hurry up, let's hurry up and buy some more things in the East Market." I took a look at the situation and urged the rocking chair to run to the East Market.
When I ran to the east market with the rocking chair, we saw that the east market was overcrowded, and people coming out of the market were carrying bags of grain. When I entered the market, many merchants had already closed their stalls. Several of the confiscated stalls also clamored not to sell. There was a lot of noise between the buyers and the sellers, and there were fights in front of a few stalls.
"Let's go home." As soon as I saw this, I pulled on the rocking chair and ran home, thinking to myself that someone must be digging for this today. As soon as the fast horse entered the city, how did the people know to go and grab food? Someone must have let out the wind early.
"What's going on? Have you bought any food? "As soon as I entered the house, my mother hurried out of the house and asked me.
"Got it. But --- seems to have really gone wrong. I put the universal cabinet in the room and wiped the sweat from my head with my sleeve.
"Not really! Just now, the people in the alley shouted that several large granaries had been burned, and everyone was grabbing grain. I'm worried that you won't be able to buy food. My mother saw me wiping my sweat and reached out to hand me a handkerchief.
"I didn't expect this prime minister to really care about the lives of the people. These bastards really don't clean up. "My dad was nagging next to me.
"It seems that this city of Ning'an is not safe either. You said that if this is a battle, should we hide somewhere else? "My mother asked me.
"Otherwise, let's go back to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. This Yuntai Town has been destroyed, the Ten Thousand Demon Caves should be safe, right? I tentatively said what was on my mind and looked at my father.
"In this troubled world, there is no place to rest. Don't think about it here. We can only take one step at a time. We really can't stay here anymore, and it's not too late for us to leave. "There seems to be some truth to my father's words. It seems that when something happens, my dad still has a lot of brains.
"Grandpa, there's someone out there looking for you." Aoyama called me out in the courtyard.
"Ouch, that's not the landlord. What's the matter, come to collect the rent? Okay, okay, I'll get it right away. "I walked out of the house and saw the people standing outside the gate, and immediately turned and walked back.
"Grandpa Qingshan, don't worry. I'll discuss something with you. "The host stopped me outside the door.
"What's the matter?" I think it's a little weird. Could it be that he wants to raise the rent?
"Well--- that's right. I have a relative in my house and I have nowhere to live. I want him to live here. So--- do you think you can find another place? I'm sorry, but you see what I did. Actually, you are a very good person, and you pay the rent on time. I really don't want to drive you away. But the one in my family had to let me speak. This relative is also from her family. No way. I'm sorry. The landlord apologized to me. As soon as I heard it, it turned out that they were not here to collect rent, but to drive us away.
"Landlord, you said you would let us move out now, where should I find a place to live? Why don't you give me some time to find a new place to live? When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel angry, but I couldn't send it to the landlord, so I could only endure to discuss it with the landlord.
"Oh, three days, three days later my relative moved in. Hurry up and find a room. The landlord turned around and walked away, shaking his head as he went. I guess I was forced by the guy in his family.
"Hehe, this time it's good, if you don't want to move, you have to move." My dad laughed twice in the house.
"But in this case, where are we going to find a house?" I glanced at the two children and my mother.
"Grandpa, why don't we move to Qingyun's house. Aoyama and I went to her house yesterday to see her. It's the same as before, no one lives. Xiaobai suggested.
"Yes. I'm going to ask. As soon as I heard Xiaobai say this, I hurriedly walked out, and when I arrived in front of the courtyard where the young lady used to live, I leaned against the wall and looked inside.
"Don't look at it. The family has been gone for months. Ouch, you're not the cousin of the young lady. What's going on? Your cousin won't be able to come back. "The neighbor of the young lady's family happened to go out, and when he saw me, he immediately came forward to inquire about the young lady's situation.
"Alas—my cousin won't come back for a while, and wants me to help watch her yard. I wondered if I should talk to the landlord about it. I shook my head as if I couldn't help it.
"Hey! Didn't your cousin tell you that this yard was her own? This was bought by a man named Qingyang for your cousin to live in. So, no need to find a landlord. She is a landlord herself. "The young lady's neighbor looked at me strangely.
"Hehe, my cousin has always been so rough, she only said that she would move to her house and help her watch the yard, and she didn't tell me anything else. Look at the trouble. Alright, thank you. When I heard this, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. This yard was originally bought by Qingyang for the young lady! It seems that this is a little compensation for the young lady. Hehe, it's really a twist and turn, we don't have to pay the rent yet!
"Let's go, move, move." As soon as I got home, I encouraged the whole family to carry their things and leave.
"Hehe, you fool always has a little bit of a stupid luck. This yard is much stronger than the one just now. "My father stood in the courtyard of the young lady's house and looked back and forth.
"Hehe, grandpa, where is my grandfather stupid? My grandfather's name is wise and foolish. "It seems that Aoyama has learned a little bit from his grandmother.
"Jingle bell, jingle bell," the magic mirror in my father's arms suddenly rang. Our whole family, except for the rocking chair and the Tencel Pa, immediately gathered around my father.
"Ouch! It's the Emperor of Heaven. I don't know what's wrong with you? My father slowly took out the magic mirror from his arms, and when he saw that it was the Heavenly Emperor who was selling vegetables in the mirror, he immediately changed his face and asked respectfully.
"It's not me looking for you, it's the rock looking for Qing'er. Qing'er, you move forward. Oh, why are you so old? It looks almost like me. After saying this, the Heavenly Emperor who sold vegetables immediately disappeared from the mirror. I don't know how I offended him and let him humiliate me so much. Am I really old? I looked left and right at Qingshan and Xiaobai. Both children nodded at the same time.
"Your Majesty, are you okay over there?" The book seller Rock appeared in the mirror and asked me with a frown.
"It's okay. What's wrong, what's the matter? "I was just hit by the Emperor and the two children who sold vegetables, and I asked a little depressedly.
"Can I trouble you with one thing, help me ask my mother, what is the origin of that little cui? I've been thinking about it all these days. Do you think the daughter-in-law my mother found for me is reliable? "I looked at Panshi's preoccupied appearance, and I felt much more comfortable. It seems that there is something unsatisfactory for everyone!
"Well--- do you think it's convenient for me to ask?" I asked, cheering up.
"What's so convenient about this! You and I have been comrades-in-arms and brothers for many years. My business is yours. Your brother is very distressed now, do you just sit idly by? "The rock who sells books really doesn't think he's an outsider, as if I know him very well.
"However, your home is not my home after all." I muttered.
"Who said that? My home is your home. Who dares to be unreasonable to you, see if I go back and don't clean him up. "The book seller seems to be a little too excited. The mirror immediately became blurry.
"Okay, I'll ask when I have time." I said perfunctorily.
"You're going to have to help me ask about it. This is about the happiness of your brother and me for the rest of my life! A hand appeared in the mirror and wiped the mirror.
"Well--- I wonder if you have anything else to do? If not, I'd like to sleep for a while. "I'm too lazy to talk to the book seller. What kind of is this?
"Oh, by the way, I remember where that tower is. It seems to be on a small dirt bag, similar to our Yinyang Lake. Look at the places over there. "The book seller slapped his head.
"That's not the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons." Before I could answer, Xiaobai next to me immediately interjected.
"Really, is there really such a place over there? Go to that place and see if there's a tower? That tower should be easy to find. My memory is sparkling, and it's spectacular. The rock, who sold books, became excited again when he heard Xiaobai's words.
"No need to look for it. I stayed there. There's no tower there, as you said. Not even a tower-like thing. I dismissed Xiaobai's speculation.
"That's right. Then you can go and see if there is a large area of dirt buns. The rock in the mirror was stunned and looked at me disappointed.
"Why didn't my mom and dad come?" Aoyama looked at the only one in the mirror, and asked with a little disappointment.
"Oh! Your dad and mom went to the world to watch a movie. Just not there. Next time, I'll drag them here. Rock scratched his head embarrassedly as if he had done something wrong.
"What's a movie?" Xiaobai asked curiously.
"Movies are a group of people who play out a story from beginning to end. I'll see you when you come back. It's not clear to say just that. Panshi seemed to be stumped by Xiaobai's question, and his face was swollen and red.
"Anything else? It's okay, so be it. "I looked at the rock, and it was strange that I had a hard time dealing with our gang, so I just shoved the mirror into my father's hand, turned around and went to bed.
The next day, the city of Ning'an was very different. The streets are full of officials. Many people stood in line at the entrance of the market with bags of rice. There are officials inside and outside the market to maintain order. At the moment, the situation appears to be relatively stable. However, I heard the pedestrians on the street talking that the price of food had risen, and the price had doubled. Some traders still wanted to go up, but they were arrested by officials. The emperor has decreed that price increases are not allowed, and violators will be severely fined. I walked around the street and came home to report to my parents.
"Oh no! Victims are pouring into the city! "At noon, our family was sitting at the table eating when there was a burst of shouting outside. When I rushed out of the hospital, I saw people in the alley running down the street. I followed the crowd and ran out into the street to see the good guys, groups of people with bags and bags squatting on the side of the street, all unkempt and miserable.
"It's miserable. There are already a lot of people in Ning'an City, and now that there are so many disaster victims, this food will definitely not be enough. An aunt next to her nagged.
"Yes, the emperor should not let these victims into the city. It will be difficult for us to ensure our safety in the future. Another aunt chimed in.
"But seeing these people so miserable, the emperor must not bear to ignore it!" Another aunt joined the discussion circle.
"Okay, okay, people with families go home quickly. People who don't have a home go to a temporary settlement with me. The emperor ordered all victims to report to the temporary resettlement site first. Get up and go! An official shouted at the victims crouching on the side of the street. When the victims heard this, they followed the official like a soulless walking corpse towards the end of the street.
"You say this prime minister is hateful! He is already a person under one person and above ten thousand, and he doesn't know how to be satisfied, so he has to get involved with those immortals, displacing these people, and ruining their families. "When I went into the courtyard of my house, I heard my mother talking to my father in the house.
"This is the human heart, insatiable, never satisfied." My dad seemed to be deeply touched.
"Do you think we have to help those refugees?" My mother asked my father.
"You'll have to ask your son. He wouldn't let me get into trouble. How dare I do it? "My dad seems to have a big opinion of me! However, my mother's words made me have an idea, but I don't know if this idea is feasible or not?
"Daddy, what are you talking about?" I went into the room and sat down at the table.
"Alas---- what else can I talk about, even if I saw those victims just now, it's too pitiful." My mother sighed.
"You two went out to see it just now? Why didn't I see you both? "When I went out just now, my father and my mother didn't move at home, but they arrived home earlier than me. Where did they see it?
"Cut--we're immortals, and we still need to run out into the street to see? Fly directly into the sky, that's clear at a glance. My dad said disdainfully. Is he talking about me?
"Oh, I see. But just a word of caution, don't let anyone find out. In this situation, it would be a big trouble to be discovered by the people in the government. I listened to my father's words and quickly reminded my father and my mother.
"Okay, if the two of us don't even know this, then we haven't lived for tens of thousands of years in vain." My dad waved at me and said.
"Ba'er, your father and I are discussing how to help those victims. I wonder if you have any great ideas? My mother leaned in front of me and said.
"I'm thinking about it, too. Since this matter was done by the prime minister. I thought --- why don't we go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and find a way to get the food from the Prime Minister's Mansion and give it to the victims. It's just --- I'm worried that there are many masters in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I don't know if we can do it? "I just came up with this idea. However, since we don't know who the prime minister has under him, and what treasures there are, if we act rashly, it is a question of whether we can escape from the prime minister's mansion. Last time, Qingshan and Xiaobai were tied up by the prime minister's bundle of immortal ropes, and I couldn't rescue them.
"What's not going to work? If you can't beat it, run away, that's not your usual trick. As soon as my father heard my idea, he immediately got ready to go.
"But we don't know what treasure the prime minister has in his hands. Last time, Qingshan and Xiaobai were also tied up by his bundle of immortals. I didn't save them once, and it was only with the help of the Black Sky Demon that I got them out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I said with a sigh of relief.
"Oh? That prime minister still has a bundle of immortals? That's a good baby. We're going to have to grab it. "When my father heard that there was still a treasure in the Prime Minister's house, his eyes immediately lit up.
