Chapter 62: The status quo is worrying
The first day of the second year of descent from the mountain, June 30.
I was forced to lie in bed for many days, ignoring everything.
Today, I was finally able to get out of bed, and my left foot was fine.
After we came back to Jianye City, Zhu Xuan came over and took my shoulder back as soon as possible, and his left arm was also hung from his neck in a plaster cast, and his entire upper body was wrapped in a large circle of gauze, like a zongzi.
And I still drink a lot of medicine every day, which is so bitter that I doubt my life, but even the internal injuries have recovered.
Although Zhu Xuan always spoke very straight, the first thing he said when he saw me being dragged back was: "I didn't die like this?" It's a big deal. ”
But to be reasonable, the name of the Jiangnan Divine Doctor is really true. At this point, I still admire it from the bottom of my heart.
My health is fine, and Lin Luoluo was also urged by me to go to Zhu Xuan to study. Even if he didn't pay the tuition, but Lin Luoluo chose to do something, he had to stick to it with his teeth.
Although I was able to get off the ground, my left foot still couldn't use much force, and after the activity, I could only limp and walk in the courtyard of the Feng family.
For the rest of my life, it's nice to feel the afternoon sun.
This is the temperature of the world.
The air is filled with the fragrance of magnolia flowers, which is refreshing; The high-pitched cicada chirps like a piece of music, one after another; The lush greenery is lush and everything grows.
It's a little hot, but it's good to be alive.
Good~
Good~
Along the way, the people were in a hurry and impetuous breath, but they still greeted me warmly.
It took me twice as long as usual to get to the council chamber.
Sure enough, as I expected, Feng Xiaoer and Yun Duo'er were there, and there were still many members of the Feng family.
Seeing me appear, Feng Xiaoer and Yun Duo'er hurried over.
"Master, why don't you rest well, just get up." Feng Xiaoer asked with concern.
After a few days, Feng Xiaoer's black circle was as amazing as carbon, and he could see that he had lost a lot of weight with the naked eye. Yun Duo'er was silent, came to my side, and took the initiative to support me, making me slightly stunned, what's the situation?
"It's okay, it's nothing, if you can move around, you have to get up and walk, and if you don't go out, I'm going to grow mushrooms." Saying that, with the support of Yun Duo'er, I stepped into the conference hall, met everyone one by one, and found a chair to sit down.
I motioned for everyone to continue, not to mess with the agenda because of my presence.
Feng Xiaoer sat on the main seat and continued to preside over the meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I urgently called everyone to the council hall in the afternoon, just to brainstorm and see if there is any way to solve the current problem of building Ye City." Feng Xiaoer sighed after speaking.
Puzzle? I muttered to myself.
I saw the audience staring at each other, everyone was embarrassed, and no one spoke.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaoer continued: "I have been ordered by the head of the family last year to come over from Qingcheng with Master Benxin, and let me be in charge of the overall affairs of Jianye City. Food has been brought in, funds have been raised, the plague has been resolved, the cold winter has survived, and the floods have survived this year.
But at this moment, I really feel helpless, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. In the entire Jianye City, the granaries of our Feng family, the Zhu family, and various families have bottomed out and are completely empty.
Whether it is the capital, the East China Sea, or all the places where we can buy grain, our transport team will not be able to return for half a month if it can come back at the earliest.
Today, the people of Jianye City have been out of food for the third day, and they can't wait that long. ”
Listening to Feng Xiaoer's words, I realized the seriousness of the problem.
And all the people were full of sorrow.
"Report!"
At this moment, a subordinate rushed into the chamber quickly.
"Speak quickly!" Feng Xiaoer was in a hurry.
"The City Lord's Mansion has opened! However, it is selling grain, a stone of grain is a hundred taels of silver, and it is heavily guarded! ”
"What!"
"One hundred taels!"
"That's more than thirty times!"
"How can ordinary people afford it?"
In the conference hall, a group of people exploded in an instant.
Feng Xiaoer supported his head with both hands and rubbed his temples.
I vaguely heard him muttering, "It's over, something big is going to happen..."
I figured that there would be no results for a while, propped up my chair, and stood up.
"Going out for a walk? Glance. I said to Yun Duo'er, who was sitting next to me.
"Okay, let's see." Yun Duo'er nodded emphatically, and I felt a hint of murderous intent.
With the support of Yun Duoer, I walked a little faster, and I didn't have so much effort, no way, who called me thick-skinned, it was someone who took the initiative.
Walking down the usual bustling streets... Although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked.
The Buddha said: There are only two human afflictions. One is to eat too much and think too much; The second is that you can't eat enough and want to be full.
Now the thousands of people in Jianye City are just the trouble of not having enough to eat, or even the trouble of not having enough to eat.
The once prosperous streets are depressed again, the shops are closed, and there is not a single animal in sight on the road.
The news of the City Lord's Mansion selling grain has spread, and people can be heard shouting in the streets and alleys: "One hundred and one stone of grain in the City Lord's Mansion." ”
From time to time, I saw people rushing towards the city lord's mansion with silver in their arms. However, more often than not, they are discouraged and shake their heads.
It can be described as a variety of states in the world, the world is hot and cold, children cry, and old people shake their heads.
In front of the Castle Lord's Mansion.
Hundreds of armor soldiers were heavily armed, but they were still surrounded by the people.
The rich have already gone home with their food.
People who don't have money are shouting why it's so expensive! Can't afford it! I'm going to starve to death! Corrupt officials! Black heart!
The armor soldier roared to maintain order, his sword sharp and pointed at the civilians.
Yun Duo'er and I were dozens of meters away from the City Lord's Mansion, and we stopped moving forward. I clearly felt Yun Duo'er's body trembling slightly, and the killing intent was getting heavier and heavier.
At this moment, an old beggar, ragged and unkempt, holding a wooden stick, slowly walked in front of us.
"You two, okay, can you give me something to eat?" A dirty, broken bowl reached out in front of us.
Oh? I didn't bring any money.
Turning his head to look at Yun Duo'er, his eyes inquiring about her.
I saw her take out a few taels of silver from her pocket and put them in a broken bowl.
"Old man, I only took this money out of the house, and I was originally going to buy snacks for my children." Yun Duo'er whispered.
I was slightly stunned, Yun Duoer really loves Lin Luoluo.
"What's the use of the money, thank you for your kindness, the girl should take it back." The old beggar actually stuffed a few taels of silver back to Yunduo'er.
"Old man, we don't have food on us, so we can't help you." I was amazed, and I spoke.
"It's over... Gangnam is coming to an end... Jianye City is about to change..."The old beggar chattered and walked towards the north of the city.
Yun Duoer and I looked at his departing back, and our hearts were mixed, and it was difficult to say a word.
Suddenly!
I thought of something, and I moved to follow.
"Old man, please stay!"
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
