There is something in the space, but it is not suitable for taking it out.

"Do you still have food at home?"

"Yes, you don't have to worry."

Sun Xiaorong turned his face away uncomfortably and looked away.

The two people on the opposite side saw his embarrassment at a glance, and when they saw that he was already skinny, they knew that they had lied.

Even if there were, I guess I gave it to Aunt Sun to eat.

Shen Xingluo diverted the topic, "We have encountered a lot of people fighting along the way, don't you care about the prefect?" ”

"Ahh

Sun Xiaorong sighed, "There are officials patrolling during the day, and these beasts will be much more restrained, and they can't manage it at night."

"How?"

"Since the Chinese New Year Huaishui Wharf has reduced the number of merchant ships, the city has fallen into the predicament of lack of food, and it is not easy for everyone to live."

Is there any food in the city?

Some.

But it is only in the hands of a few, and it is difficult for ordinary people to be fed.

If he hadn't had a big position in the yamen, he might have starved to death by now.

"In the first month of the year, people began to report that their homes were robbed, but the officials could not catch them at all, and three were killed while patrolling at night a few days ago, and no one has been patrolling at night since then."

Officials are also human beings, so it would be good to be able to protect themselves in such an environment.

During the day, he tried his best to patrol, and at night, he could only keep close to himself and his family.

Cheng Xi grabbed the key news, "So Fucheng didn't mess up until the end of the year?" ”

"Yes, the merchant ships have been decreasing since the beginning of the year, and after the New Year, there are occasional merchant ships from the Qin family transporting grain to the wharf, and they don't bring much grain."

"Nowadays, the shops on the street only dare to stay open for half a day during the day, and they have to close their doors at night."

Sun Xiaorong was also tortured a lot during this time.

There is an old mother at home who has no resistance, and he has to go to the post house to report for money and food, which is really tired.

"By the way, Uncle Cheng is back?"

"My father is in Shenjia Village now, it's okay, Brother Sun and Auntie don't have to worry."

"That's good, that's good."

Uncle Cheng is a capable person, and he has a good family to take care of.

When Sun Xiaorong heard this, the big stone in his heart was completely put down, and there was a little more smile on his face.

Half an hour later, Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi walked out of the Sun family's courtyard.

Sun Xiaorong, who saw the two leave, returned to the house, glanced at the table casually and was immediately stunned.

There was a silver ticket there.

He walked over quickly and picked it up, and the handwriting on it was clear.

There is only a thin piece of paper, but it seems to weigh a thousand pounds.

“.”

Sun Xiaorong's eyes gradually reddened.

***

"I didn't expect that only the Qin family's merchant ships are running now, and it seems that there are also snow disasters in the south of Lin'an Mansion."

Lin'an Province is a north-central region, and the snow disaster can drop to minus 30 degrees Celsius, which is only found in the northeastern region in modern times.

It will be at least a few hundred miles further south before the temperature gradually rises to a level suitable for human survival.

"The Qin family was able to transport grain, presumably at a great cost."

The Hongwei dart game soon arrived, the majestic gate looked majestic, and the two big lions at the door were even more imposing.

Shen Xingluo took a few steps forward and knocked on the heavy door, and then a footstep sounded.

Just listening to this voice, they knew that the physical fitness of the person who came was much better than that of Sun Xiaorong.

The former walked steadily, and the latter almost disappeared with vain steps, and the gap between the two was too big.

"Who?!"

The same vigilant inquiry, the person inside the door was full of anger, and the other panicked mixed with trills.

"Cheng Xi, dare to ask which uncle is in the door?"

"Creek?!"

The heavy door was opened, and the two of them met again with a shocked and happy face.

It's just that this time it's not an uncle, but a man who is not a few years older than Shen Xingluo.

Chen Yi, the smallest young owner of Hongwei Dart Game.

The two were quickly welcomed into the door, and after a period of confusion, they sat in the living room with seven or eight big men.

Cheng Xi's mouth was about to dry, so he explained the deeds of Cheng Daqian and others all the way.

"Good! It's good to come back alive, it's all good! ”

Chen Jiahai, the head of the Hongwei Dart Bureau, is in his 50s and is no longer a dart due to a serious injury in his early years, but he is really righteous to the brothers.

"Xiaoxi, don't worry, you will tell Xizi and them when you go back, but as long as there is a bite of food for my Chen Jiahai, I will not be hungry for my brother's family!"

In fact, after the turmoil in Fucheng, Chen Jiahai took the relatives of the dart master to the dart bureau.

Squeeze is squeezed a little, but safe!

"Then the Qin family is worthy of being the richest man in Dayan, and now that the grain shop is still open, we can't be hungry!"

Chen Yi behind him pursed his lips when he heard this.

That's really not hungry, Hongwei Dart Bureau has saved a lot of money over the years, that's all the background, the last two months have been a toss.

And that's not all, they have already begun to sell antiquities in order to buy food.

As soon as Chen Jiahai said it, he didn't give the two young people a chance to speak.

Cheng Xi is really tired and happy.

Shen Xingluo poured her another glass of water and replaced the empty cup she had just drunk.

Cheng Xi took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his body as usual, "This is what my father and Uncle Xizi asked me to bring to you, and I will have to worry about it in the future." ”

Chen Jiahai was stunned the moment he saw the silver ticket, and his eyes were round.

The big man's face turned red, and he thought about refusing, but the situation at home was really embarrassing, and he was really short of money.

It's very tangled.

Cheng Xi directly pushed the silver ticket over, "Please accept the head of the dart, use it to buy food first, and talk about it later." ”

"Okay, then you're welcome!"

After only a few seconds of entanglement, Chen Jiahai quickly accepted the silver ticket in front of him.

There are still a lot of dart masters left in the dart game, and before the city gate was closed, two teams of dart brothers came back one after another, and now there is really no shortage of combat effectiveness.

But the amount of food needed at the end of the day is not small.

What they lack is food!

Thanks to the Qin family's merchant ships——

Coming out of the mansion again, the two of them were not in a hurry to go to the prefect to find the account book, and after thinking about it, they still felt that they should go to see Qin Zheng.

"This snow disaster, the reputation of the Qin family has reached a higher level."

The entire city is fed by the Qin family's merchant ships, and this kindness is great.

Shen Xingluo nodded, "It's also easy to provoke villains." ”

Simple-minded people are naturally grateful to the Qin family, but the most important thing in the world is the wicked, and for the latter, the Qin family is a bright treasure house.

In these days, to have food is to have everything.

The two avoided a few people and walked towards the Qin family, but before they reached their destination, they smelled a smell of smoke.

The smell grew stronger, followed by a lot of white smoke pouring into the alley.

Shen Xingluo raised his head and looked forward, and a piece of fire came into his eyes.

"It's out of the water."

Walked out of the water, in the extremely cold snow.

It was almost impossible, and yet it happened.

Cheng Xi also looked ahead, the flames were soaring, and a warm breath came to his face.

It's a fire.
