c_t; The residents of Silent Land City, who have food in their hands, and the warriors who have money in their hands but have little food form a contradiction. yan()kuai to see the latest Reach.com [to see the latest chapters of this book, please go to]. For more up-to-date chapters, visit:.
The money of the warriors was also limited, and not everyone would run to 'sweep' the wealth of the wealthy families in the city after entering the city.
Ellermy's letter was eventually sent. It was no fun to find a merchant to piggyback on her, she 'spent' some money and found a special 'door' messenger, and the price was quite expensive. After it was done, Zhou Shu and the snake god sent Elemy home. Then the two lied, saying that they wanted to go to the street of vendors to continue shopping, and went out again.
That night, Zhou Shu and the snake god both slept on their 'beds', strictly speaking, the former slept on the floor. The two of them finished what they needed to do during the day, and it was rare to be able to rest at night.
That night, a fire broke out in a city not far from them. The fire and billowing smoke invaded in the direction of the inn with the blessing of the north wind. The snake god with a good nose was the first to see the smell of smoke coming in through the crack in the window, and walked to the window in a daze to smell it carefully. As a result, just mentioning the nose like this, the whole person was 'refreshed' at once.
The snake god didn't think about Zhou Shu and Nati, who lived in the same house, and pushed the wooden window open. There wasn't much smoke outside the window, and the light of the fire was still far away, and some people who were closer to the fire than they were had not yet seen it.
The fire was burning towards the building where she and Zhou Shusheng first started, it was a very important room for the two of them, and they had to go there if they wanted to do something. Seeing that the house was in danger of being burned down, Zhou Shu, who was sleeping soundly, was kicked in the arm by the snake god and woke up.
"It's on fire, come and put out the fire with me!"
Master Zhou once watched a bbbsp; The Great Fire of London, the literal translation should actually be called "The Great Fire". It was recorded in the autumn of 1666 in England by a fire of the magnitude of the city. The fire, which lasted four days, destroyed a quarter of the city, destroyed more than 80 churches, burned only five people, and cut off the plague epidemic in London.
The expressiveness of the TV series is very good, and the unstoppable sense of despair after the fire spreads is all shown. At that level of technology, it is very difficult to extinguish a fire.
The city is much cleaner than London back then, and there are not as many people, but the houses are mainly wooden, and it is basically a rhythm of burning one by one.
The fire in London gave the residents plenty of time to escape, and the same is true for the current city of Quiet Land. After Zhou Shu got up, he came to the snake god's side, and looked with her along the window in the direction of the firelight, not afraid of being burned at all. The reason is very simple, the fire is too slow, the slow is exaggerated, and it would be good to burn in two or three hours.
The two hesitated for a while, but still called everyone up. Let's not mention it if you can't escape, let's take a look at the excitement first, such a big fire is 'very' rare.
Alamy said her family's City of Glory has been on fire twice in decades, but it's not that big. Half of the sky is lit up, and it's rare that fires are usually extinguished not long after they are fired. The two fires, all of which were born at the end of the month, were once again a holiday for southerners. []
Zhou Shu quickly reacted to why this girl wanted to raise the question of the end of the month and the festival. London wants to rely on manpower to fight fires, but it's basically no fun, but this world is different. Just a few large giants can take a fire break out of the house and control the spread of the fire.
The reason why the snake god and Zhou Shu are still in the mood to listen to the story here is actually to find an effective way to fight the fire. Now the two heard it, and left the inn together.
In a short period of time, the nearby residents also noticed the smell of smoke and dust, and a fire broke out. At this time, the street was very lively, and people were all facing the direction of the fire, like sunflowers, looking there and frowning. As far as the flesh can see, there is no half of the giant to help put out the fire anyway. That's understandable. Now that Jingtu City is so 'chaotic', as long as it doesn't burn on his head, no one intends to 'waste' his own power to do such a thing. Moreover, the forced demolition of this kind of thing needs a strong political fu to organize, and now if it is said that a firebreak is removed, the soldiers who live in it will not agree.
As soon as Zhou Shu and the snake god went out of the 'door', they turned over the wall, found the tallest building and climbed up. Standing high and seeing far away, it was not a big deal to look at it from a distance, but now that it is a different perspective, the two of them frowned at the same time.
In order to protect the empty house that was used for ambiguity, they didn't say anything, and cast a spell on the fire on the spot. Zhou Shu pinched Dinglan, the snake god's eyes were red, accompanied by the shaking of the earth.
The two have the power to change the terrain, but strictly speaking, the two forces are not coordinated, and they are more suitable for fighting fires at such times.
The snake god twisted his waist with great difficulty, knocking down all the houses in the entire fire area. Zhou Shu tried to isolate the flames by raising the stone wall, which was very difficult at first, but gradually got used to it. Perhaps the inhabitants of this world have a strong relationship, and the ground of the city is generally paved with stones, which is still relatively luxurious in terms of productivity, which provides some convenience for the use of Dinglan.
Through the efforts of the two, the fire was brought under control before dawn. It's not that the fire is out, it's just that it's waiting for it to burn out.
After staying up all night, the two returned to the hotel, and this was the first time they had gone out at night without doing anything 'messy'. The snake god looked a little tired, although she was a pseudo-god, her body was obviously not as strong as Zhou Shulai.
This incident didn't make Zhou Shu think too much, in his opinion, it was just an accident, not a big deal. As a result, the next day, when he went out with the snake god during the day, he heard that the previous fire seemed to be deliberately set on fire. Originally, this matter was understandable, but now the city is so 'chaotic', and the competition makes the soldiers enemies of each other, arson or something.
However, after the two got closer, what they heard was not so simple at all. When the two of them went out, they were thinking about it, and the snake god never felt any movement in his stomach, and strongly asked to come a few more times. Although Zhou Shu explained to her from a scientific point of view, she didn't react so quickly when she was pregnant with a child. It's a pity that there is a vanilla in the inn that is "upright" with a big belly and "messy", and the snake god can't see her belly, so he is very irritable, and he wants one himself.
When they go out of the door, they 'covered' their faces to avoid being seen. The inn had been poisoned before. Just as they were sneaking downstairs, some samurai sitting on roadside benches basking in the sun were talking about something terrible.
The fire the day before yesterday was set by local residents. They poured pine nut oil on a dilapidated empty house, lit the fire, and used hay to direct the fire to the living quarters of the warband next door.
The strong smell of pine nut oil that some people could distinguish when the fire first broke out, and the reason why it was said that the residents did it was because of this, only they could get so much oil, and the soldiers did not need to use this lighting oil to start the fire, they had fire oil around them.
The soldiers in the 'exchange' conversation were talking about these things as if no one was around, and Zhou Shu and the snake god listened on the side, thinking of some of the things they had seen before. The fighters deliberately provoked conflicts with the inhabitants, and also committed murder and robbery. Now some retaliation by the residents seems reasonable.
The two of them didn't think much about this kind of thing, and after listening to it, they went upstairs to exercise. The snake god's 'sex' has been much gentler recently, maybe this is what she is, the cheeky 'girl' child before was just what she deliberately showed in order to pester Zhou Shu.
After the incident, the two of them lay down on the 'bed' and talked about what they had just heard. The snake god proposes to go out and take a stroll. She has some hunches and a bustle to watch. Now the soldiers are rumored that the fire originated from the residents, and the conflict is so 'intensified' that it seems that a fight will break out at any time.
Zhou Shu also wanted to walk around, staying in a hotel was like going to prison, 'very' depressed. Walking all the way in the direction of the wreckage left behind by the fire, the already 'chaotic' city has become even more 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'.
Zhou Shu originally used stones to erect some walls as firebreaks, but because there were not many stones and his strength was not much, the walls were not very high and not very thick. Fortunately, the wind only blew in one direction that night, and he didn't change direction, so he only needed to 'get' one side of the wall, and the workload was not bad.
Now these walls have been smashed by the soldiers, and there are 'holes' everywhere, ruins. On the other side of the wall is the city in ruins.
There is no value left there, and the renovation work cannot be carried out at all without a political officer presiding over it. The area affected by the disaster is very large, almost one-fifth of the city. In terms of location, there are indeed many warriors living here, but more often than not, it is the local people. After all, their base is larger.
As a result of the fire, many people have been displaced, resulting in more daily necessities being wasted. Life was already difficult, and now it's even worse.
Beside the torn down wall, a group of men with worn swords as weapons stood guard around a cart of grain, arguing with the crowd around them. These people weighed thirty or forty, and the snake god told Zhou Shu that they were selling grain, and the sign hanging on the cart said the price of each scoop of rations, which was much more expensive than before.
Obviously, the citizens don't know when they formed a group. They may have seen the 'woman' who had been killed and robbed by the soldiers, and felt that their safety was threatened, and began to huddle.
The warriors looked particularly embarrassed at this time, wearing clothes and armor that were obviously blackened by smoke, and stood aside and watched coldly. Despite the shouting of these people, they were not moved at all.
Zhou Shu scratched his head, not knowing what these people were doing. When I got closer, I inquired with one person and learned that these soldiers refused to buy high-priced grain and wanted to 'force' these 'traitors' to lower their prices.
"That's right. The snake god smiled and took out the money bag from his waist, "Then I'll go buy some." ”
Zhou Shu was speechless on the side, wanting to retract the declaration that this guy had become well-behaved. She is still a 'female' person who is afraid that the world will not be 'chaotic', and she has a bit of a demonic 'female's 'sexual' personality.
"I'm just kidding. "The snake god took out a small tin can from the money bag, and printed 'godiva' in English, which was the chocolate that Zhou Shu bought for her. She smiled and ate a few, her expression was very naughty, not at all like an adult.
The armed 'profiteers' who sold the grain were surrounded by a large number of frowning ordinary citizens, dressed in rags, who also seemed to be victims of the fire. If the expressions on the faces of the warriors were mixed with anger in the midst of hardship, then the faces of these people were only pure hardship.
Zhou Shuben thought that they were so desperate because their house rations were burned down and their livelihood was cut off. It wasn't until he and the snake god heard a conversation between several of the citizens and the 'profiteer' merchants. They asked the 'profiteer' who was shouting hard, asked them if they could sell their own grain, and offered to take the initiative to reduce the price. The merchant grabbed a rusty fork and shook his head in embarrassment.
"The price cannot be reduced. ”
The snake god glanced at Zhou Shu and conveyed some information, indicating that she also revealed the hidden situation. Obviously, the merchants promised the citizens that they could sell their grain at a higher price, which is why this is happening. But they obviously have a hard time traveling promises.
Zhou Shu looked at the snake god for a while, but now there was no progress in the situation, so he slipped away to other places. As a result, I didn't walk many meters, and I encountered the same scene again, as if such a situation was born in an organized situation, and it was not a temporary idea of a few people.
The citizens also looked strange, apparently they had rescued a lot of things before the fire burned down the houses, and everyone had a large pile of boxes and baggage covered with blankets around them, as if they were preparing to move.
Faced with the sudden increase in food prices, the soldiers also gathered together to discuss countermeasures. The first thing they can think of at the moment is to refuse to buy it, hoping that the merchant will lower the price. If this method doesn't work, if you don't discuss it with them, Zhou Shu will know what will happen. When people are hungry and they don't know if they will be able to eat tomorrow, violent snatching is inevitable.
Although these citizens and merchants were more numerous and had weapons, their combat ability was far inferior to that of the warriors. The warriors are currently only restraining themselves with basic social morality, and the behavior of the merchants is tantamount to seeking death.
Zhou Shu will be a little cowardly, he doesn't want to see the two sides fight, he has seen too many 'chaos'. Of course, he didn't plan to join in, he just wanted to go back to the hotel early and have a quiet Coke.
Just as he was about to beckon the snake god to leave, suddenly a group of warriors ran happily towards the wall, shouting some good news as they ran.
If you listen closely, it doesn't seem to be good news......
The ears of the snake god and Zhou Shu were very good, and they could distinguish the words of those people before everyone else.
The merchants came, the merchants outside. A large batch. With a lot of food. In addition to these contents, there is one most important one, "The price is low. ”
Hearing this, the two of them sighed at the same time. They know very well that these two confrontational situations are about to be broken.
