Some sects that had good relations in the past occasionally came to borrow food. The relationship is particularly good, I will lend dozens of catties at a time according to your instructions, and if the relationship is average, I will not borrow. ”

Liu Yitian frowned and said, "Why did you borrow grain just after winter?" In previous years, it was not always the time when the new year was not good...... Do you borrow from each other? ”

Several disciples glanced at Liu Yitian, and Xu Fang pursed his lips and smiled.

"This year, the cost of our Qiyuan County is not good, which makes the demon clan even worse. Everyone has no surplus grain in their hands, and in addition, in the cold winter, heavy snow closes the road, making it even more difficult to transport grain. As for the price of food, you know it......"

Steward Shi glanced around and continued to whisper: "The younger brother of the Wenxian Commander said that he wanted to congratulate his brother on his birthday, so he found a circle of grain merchants in the city, and then, the price of grain in the whole city skyrocketed. Big gangs don't care, but small gangs and ordinary people are terrible. ”

Wang Shoude lowered his head and grabbed the broken fan on his waist hard.

"Hearsay is not to be believed." Liu Yitian said.

Xu Fang sneered and said, "Old man, are you pretending not to know or really not knowing?" Since the order of Wenxian County came to our Qiyuan County, his younger brother has not been idle, today to congratulate his brother on his birthday, and tomorrow to set up a banquet for his sister-in-law, people call the two brothers a Wen scraping the sky and a Wen scraping the ground. Since the brothers came, Qiyuan County has been getting worse day by day. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Yitian blew his beard and glared.

Xu Fang smiled and said: "There is news pressed on the official's face, but who of us is clear-eyed?" The cemetery outside Wangjiatun usually adds ten to the top of the sky a month, but after the winter this year, there are less than 50 graves. Although Wangjiatun's sect is dilapidated, they are all martial arts practitioners, and they are tougher than ordinary people. You go to other villages and towns to see, go to the cemetery outside the county seat, the funeral is from morning to night, and it is not good to be busy. The coffin shop and the shroud shop are sold out, and they don't lie. ”

Liu Yitian snorted lightly and said, "The eldest and second don't believe it yet?" ”

Xu Fang sighed and said, "Maybe we blew the Divine Bow Sect too much, and the two of them didn't believe it at all." No, a few days ago, I gave some money as usual. I thought, wait for the new year or so, let the third brother pick them up. There is also Xiao Wu, for the sake of the Tianxuan Holy Land, he didn't even care about the sect. ”

"Is there any news from the Heavenly Xuan Holy Land?"

"There is a lot of news day by day, today this person finds the exercise, tomorrow that person finds the magic weapon, and blows it like a god, but in the end he only sees the person dead, and does not see the treasure. I heard that some sects have killed red eyes, and some are scared and ready to come back. ”

Li Qingxian said: "The Ten Thousand Gang Leader just came back yesterday, and he and the Qingshan Gang have already given up the Tianxuan Holy Land. I asked a few questions, and he also said that many people died. ”

Liu Yitian shook his head and said, "It's an eventful season." You've heard about the capital, right? How did they get together? ”

Xu Fang hurriedly asked: "Jingqiu, are they okay with Xiao Wu?" ”

Li Qingxian hesitated for a moment and said, "The high gang leader said that some gangsters have seen him being chased and killed, but the injury is not serious. ”

"Huh? So what to do? How can it be hunted down? Do you want to find a way to send a letter to Xiao Wu? Xu Fang looked at Li Qingxian eagerly.

Liu Yitian snorted coldly and said, "Confused! What kind of place was the Xuansheng Land that day, and why did he go to a seven-rank place? I talked to him all night, but I couldn't hold the donkey. Since he is willing to go, he will not even want his life, what is it to be hunted down? ”

"But this kid ......"

"Let him go, and when he kowtows and bleeds, he will understand." Liu Yitian said.

"Alas......" Xu Fang sighed.

The clouds in the sky are getting thicker.

Someone shouted in the distance.

"Brother Liu, Master Liu, it's me, Xiaojin."

When everyone followed the prestige, they saw an old man wearing a tattered felt hat and a black cloth robe standing outside the gate of the training ground, hunched over his waist and leaning to the left.

Steward Shi said in a low voice: "The Jin Gang Master came to borrow grain ten days ago, and I sent away ten catties." ”

Liu Yitian sighed lightly and said: "Back then, we also fought side by side against demons, but later he injured his leg and failed to reach the sixth grade, and even the White Blade Gang collapsed. He is old now, and when he hears that the old injury has recurred, I am afraid that it is the strength of Jiupin. You're busy with you, I'll go talk, Lao Shi, and prepare some food to send over. ”

"Master, there are too many autumn winds these days, if we are like you, our food will be empty sooner or later. You said that this matter is in my charge, and in order to help the more than 1,000 mouths, you can't do it. "The stone steward said.

Everyone looked at Li Qingxian and did not speak.

Liu Yitian's face sank and he walked towards the door.

Li Qingxian followed, and the rest of the people followed silently.

"Brother Liu, your Divine Bow Sect is really magnificent now, look at this archery training ground, not to mention Wangjiatun, there is no one in the city who can compare." Lao Jin hunched his back, smiled sweetly, and the breath in his mouth was like a cold cloud.

Liu Yitian walked over, lightly slapped Lao Jin's chest, and said, "Look at you, you're quite tough." ”

Lao Jin grinned and said, "Don't look at my legs and feet, but my body bones have always been good." ”

Liu Yitian glanced at the black cloth single coat on Lao Jin's body, with patches on it, and then looked down at the blue silk cotton jacket on his body, and felt bad in his heart.

"All of you guys are okay? It's been a long time since I've seen your eldest grandson. ”

After Liu Yitian finished speaking, the smile on Lao Jin's face disappeared, and Steward Shi and several disciples also sighed secretly.

Lao Jin smiled dryly and said: "The child's tuberculosis has no money to treat, and then he survived, leaving the root of the disease, and he gasped like a broken bellows all day long." ”

"Why didn't you look for me earlier?" Liu Yitian said in a low voice, his eyes slightly red.

Lao Jin turned his head sideways, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and raised his head again: "At that time, I heard that you were hiding debts, how dare I trouble you." Afterward...... Later, isn't it going to be a young man, so I want to ask you to borrow something to eat. I didn't want to come, but the child couldn't eat the bark, and he was so hungry that he cried......"

Halfway through speaking, Lao Jin lowered his head.

The snow at his feet melted into small gray pits.

As soon as Liu Yitian turned around, his face was blue, and he stretched out his hand to Steward Shi, and said, "Give me the key to the treasury." ”

The stone steward looked at Li Qingxian with a sad face, Li Qingxian nodded slightly, and the stone steward immediately handed out the key and said, "I'll take it with you." ”

Liu Yitian patted Lao Jin on the shoulder and said, "Lao Jin, you go back, I will go to your house after taking the grain." You tell the child, today Grandpa Liu invited him to eat meat, eat dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, and eat them even in the New Year! ”

"Well, thank you, Brother Liu, I'll go back and tell my eldest grandson." Lao Jin didn't look up, turned around and walked into the distance, wiped his face with his sleeve, and formed a thin layer of ice.

Liu Yitian and the stone steward walked towards the warehouse.

Li Qingxian looked at the backs of the two and asked, "There are many sects like Wangjiatun?" ”

"Not a lot. Most of the sects have a small livelihood in winter, and it is a day by day, and this year it is extremely difficult. Xu Fang said.

"Sister Fang, you find a few reliable people, count the gangs in Wangjiatun, which ones have a good reputation and can't open the pot, we will lend them some grain."

"But the stone steward is there......"

"We have enough food."

"Hmm!"
