If it weren't for the sake of cultivation, he had to go to the county seat to buy pills, Xu Ping would rather not go.

After all, the world was too chaotic at this time, and the road leading to the county seat, Sancha Mountain and Caomangling increased the toll again, from fifteen taels of silver in the previous year to forty taels.

According to this method, the old village chief has to consider whether to send his grandchildren to the county seat to continue studying.

None of the grandsons and granddaughters had spiritual roots, which made the old village chief very discouraged, and he was a little skeptical that he would be able to see a grandson and granddaughter with spiritual roots in his lifetime.

These five or six grandsons and granddaughters are his own grandsons and granddaughters, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to send his grandsons and granddaughters to the county seat, whether it is to study or practice martial arts, it is much better than nesting in this remote Xujia Village.

Even if the fees of Sancha Mountain and Caomangling are high, the old village chief will send his grandson and granddaughter to the county seat, and the big deal will be changed from once every three months to once every six months.

This time, Xu Ping also signed up.

In fact, even if he didn't sign up, Xu Dali would invite him to go, and at the beginning of the year, there were forty or fifty people in the village to mine, which made the number of armed people in the village shrink a lot at once, and he had to bring some martial artists who had just started with him.

Even if you can't contribute, you can be brave on the road.

By the time we passed the Trichaliness, everything was normal.

Only on the road to Caomangling Ridge, a group of homeless people suddenly came out and startled everyone.

Although this group of displaced people was numerous, there were only a handful of armed people, all of them were unarmed women and children, and they were yellow and thin, and they could be blown down by a strong wind.

After Xu Dali showed force in front of this group of displaced people, most of them had already begun to retreat.

There are also a small number of people who don't want the fat in their hands to slip away in vain, and they don't want to walk while standing on the road.

Although Xu Dali was able to kill most people in one go, there were some women and children among the villagers of Xujia Village.

Once this group of homeless people starts to be ruthless, even hungry wolves will be afraid, not to mention these twenty or thirty villagers in Xujia Village.

"Leave the grain and silver in your hands, and we can let you go, otherwise ......"

Xu Ping was nervous in his heart after hearing this, this time he went to the county seat, he brought all the silver taels, except for the spirit stones hidden at home, if they were all handed over to the homeless, what would he do with his cultivation in the future? Do you have to wait until the next time you go to the county seat?

Before he could say anything, the other villagers stood up and began to prepare for their desperate efforts, unlike Xu Ping, who also had elderly parents, wives and young children at home.

Even a few villagers who were almost scared to pee at the beginning hardened themselves and clenched the sticks in their hands.

"We can keep the grain, but if we want to keep the silver taels, we can only say sorry, we are all civilians, we don't have much silver taels in our hands, if you insist on it, then we have to fight hard."

After the old village chief finished speaking, the other party got together and discussed for a while, and finally agreed with the old village chief's statement.

"Brother Daqiang, I was almost scared to pee just now."

"Me too, my hands and feet are still trembling."

…….

After walking past this group of displaced people for a long time, the villagers of Xujia Village began to discuss, which made the old village chief and Xu Dali both shake their heads after hearing this, it is really better than a stubble.

Xu Ping did not express an opinion, if it was him before he was reborn, it was estimated that he would not be much different from these newcomers.

Even if the old village chief can't talk to these homeless people today, he can go in and out three times, but he will reveal his details.

Fortunately, he only lost some food, and did not give all the silver on his body to the homeless.

After passing through Caomangling, there were more corpses on the road, I don't know whether they were homeless people or pedestrians on the road, anyway, the homeless people passed by, like locusts, and even the clothes and shoes on the corpses were stripped away.

From a distance, there are white flowers, which makes people unbearable to look at.

"Iniquity!"

On the way, when there were few people, the old village chief asked people to come down and bury some corpses with soil or weeds.

As for the place where the displaced people gathered, the old village chief asked him not to stop and leave quickly, and to walk to the gate of Qinan County as soon as possible.

At this time, the city gate of the county seat was closed, and many officers and soldiers gathered above the city gate. Without a certificate of entry and exit issued by the county government, the officers and soldiers defending the city would not let anyone enter the city.

Of course, except for immortal cultivators, these people usually come and go, and it doesn't matter to them whether there is a city wall or not.

Although Xu Ping has a household registration certificate, he cannot enter the county seat yet, and must reapply for a certificate of entering the city, 100 yuan per person.

The old village chief of this money can't advance money for everyone, those who have money pay to go into the city, and those who don't have money hurry up to find someone to borrow money.

No one wants to stay outside the city, looking at the thousands of displaced people outside the city, maybe one night passes, and those who stay will not become homeless, or they may be thrown into the wilderness.

After entering the city, someone asked, "Are you still meeting at the city gate tonight?" ”

"Don't gather, don't leave tonight!"

It's so messy outside, how can you go to Cai's shop to stay as usual, and you still want to die? The old village chief waved his hand and left with his son and grandchildren.

As for the villagers of Xujia Village, they can only find their own way at night, and it is much better to find a random place in the city, even if it is sleeping on the street, than to stay outside the city.

Xu Ping has been to the county seat several times, and he knows very well where to go shopping and where to eat, and after the old village chief led the family away, he soon broke away from the team of the villagers of Xujia Village and wandered around the city alone.

There is still a lot of salt left from the last time, but when he thinks that he doesn't know if he will have time to come out again in the future, Xu Ping plans to buy more, because salt is indispensable in life.

Especially for people like Xu Ping, who practice martial arts, the physical exertion is huge, the amount of sweating increases, and if the climate happens to be hot, the human body will lose a lot of salt. Lack of salt in the human body can have serious consequences......

The price of salt has risen a lot, from 15 wen a catty to 30 wen a catty now.

Of course, this is not worrying, after all, it is no problem to buy a pound of salt and eat it for a few months, but the price of food to be eaten every day has more than increased several times.

If he hadn't lived in the remote Xujia Village and still had a few stones of grain at home, maybe Xu Ping would have been like the residents in the city at this time, scrambling to queue up outside the grain store to buy grain.

Xu Ping shook his head and stayed away from the crowd.

"The white lotus has come to the world, the demons have avoided it, only I have the white lotus, and I will always keep the peace!" In the distance, a large group of ordinary people flocked to a middle-aged Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest's voice seemed to have magical power, attracting everyone to follow him.

"In troubled times, there will be demons!"

Xu stood calmly on the side of the road, waiting for these White Lotus Saints who were swaggering and deceiving people on the street to leave.

Such an obvious rebel, can't the officials who patrol back and forth? Why didn't anyone stand up and stop it?
