Although Cheng Wu didn't know much about his master's thoughts, he didn't make a containment plan for the departure of the martial artists, and completely ignored the people who left Shicheng.

In the late autumn of the fourth year of the Basalt Period, Shicheng ushered in the second bumper harvest, and now the vitality is pouring into the earth, and the rise of hybrid rice is becoming more and more ferocious, and those plump rice grains are the size of peanuts.

In the evening, Jiang Cheng rode his horse and galloped to the outside of the city, looking at the mature rice fields in the field, Jiang Cheng knew that he didn't have to worry about food this year. After three years of baptism, Shicheng currently has 10,000 warriors, 100,000 people, and 10,000 hectares of fertile land.

The bumper harvest of grain is enough for Shicheng to spend the whole year next year, which makes Jiang Cheng also very happy, he rode a horse under his crotch, swaying on the field outside Shicheng, and after a while, he came to the depths of the rice field where Zhang Zhidou was stationed.

More than a dozen wooden houses, livestock sheds, here is very quiet, like a small farm yard. Jiang Cheng turned over and dismounted and walked into the farmhouse, but saw Zhang Zhidou making a small bed in the living room of his home.

"Yes, Doudou has become a carpenter. Jiang Chengchong's wife next to Zhang Zhidou nodded and said to Zhang Zhidou with a smile. Hearing this familiar voice, Zhang Zhidou raised his head, his eyes full of surprise.

His wife's pregnancy gave him new hope in his life, and he was in good spirits at the moment.

"The baby is going to be born in a few months, and I'm going to make a crib for him as soon as possible, I really don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Zhang Zhidou's eyes were full of longing for being a father.

"Then I'll congratulate you in advance. Jiang Cheng smiled and sat on the small bench in the living room and watched Zhang Zhidou make a crib.

"I'm not a professional carpenter, and my skills are really rusty. Unconsciously, the time was noon, Zhang Zhidou stopped what he was doing and said to Jiang Cheng.

"Master Jiang, you're here. At this moment, I saw two more acquaintances walking outside, they were the old beggar man and his grandson who had broken his leg.

Before leaving, Jiang Cheng dragged Zhang Zhidou to take care of the two people, the old man used to treat the animals, and now they have become the veterinarians under Zhang Zhidou, who are responsible for treating the livestock on the farm.

"Old man, long time no see. This old man's perception of life is beyond Jiang Cheng's reach, and it was the old man's words that night that deeply touched Jiang Cheng's heart.

Go on firmly, and one day you will see a rainbow.

The old man supported his grandson with a broken leg, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Jiang Cheng saw that he was hesitant, so he said: "Old man, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, you saved me once, I owe you a great favor." ”

"Master Jiang Meng, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, that's the case, I went back to the beggars' gathering place a few days ago, and found that there were fewer and fewer beggars there, and many of my old acquaintances had disappeared inexplicably, those were my brothers and sisters, and now their whereabouts are unknown, I want to ask the Shicheng Guards to investigate. ”

The old man is talking to Jiang Cheng now, and he has long lost his former calmness, and after knowing that Jiang Cheng is the leader of the Jiang League that caused a sensation in Shicheng, the old man has become extremely restrained.

"All the beggars in the stone city have disappeared inexplicably? "Jiang Cheng, as the actual leader of Shicheng, naturally can't ignore such a thing, not to mention, the old man in front of him also saved his life, he owes the old man a great favor, and now is a good opportunity to repay.

Jiang Cheng paused and said, "Old man, don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly to the end and will not tolerate it." Jiang Cheng chatted with the old man for a while, and then rode back to the city.

Early the next morning, Jiang Cheng disguised himself as a farmer who looked like a public and wandered around the stone city. The base city of Shicheng is not large, only ten kilometers square, but in such a small city, evil and ugliness are staged every day.

The Stone City Guards have limited manpower, and they don't have much to do with some secret crimes.

Jiang Cheng walked around the bustling commercial street a few times, and then he stared at a beggar who had broken his legs and was lying on top of a cart begging.

The beggar walked with his hands and feet on a small wooden cart, and looked very pitiful, he was dressed in a tattered suit from the Yang and Sunshine era, and his face was full of pain, and it seemed that he had been hungry for a long time. The people on the streets were in a hurry, and few people paid much attention to the beggar who moved with his hands on top of the cart.

Porridge is distributed once a day in Shicheng for those who have just arrived in Shicheng or who cannot afford to obtain food by their own labor.

And if these beggars can't get food, they can only live on that bowl of porridge every day, and their lives are very miserable. Jiang Cheng is not a savior, he knows that people like this live in the last days, and the final outcome will not be too good.

However, the old man told him what he did, and he still had to help him complete it. Jiang Cheng pretended to pick and choose goods from the vendor next to the beggar, but in fact he was spying on the beggar.

The beggar begged for a morning's food, but still could not get a grain of food, he walked around the street a few more times, everywhere he went, he would meet the white eyes, the beggar's face became more and more miserable, he used his frozen red hands to prop up on the ground, and the cart was suddenly drawn into a small alley, this is a residential area, there are many garbage cans outside, if you are lucky, you can find the leftover moldy food that people eat in the garbage cans.

The beggar picked up several garbage cans one after another, but still found nothing, and just when he was helpless and hungry, he saw a very strong man come out of the far corner, and the big man walked straight towards the beggar with a pocket behind his back.

The beggar was also very puzzled, but the beggar had an instinctive fear of such a strong human being, perhaps he had suffered in the presence of strong men before, or had been beaten, or humiliated.

"Little brother, don't be afraid, I'm a good person. The strong man tried his best to relax his expression and appear more kind, but he didn't look like a good person, no matter how he pretended to be kind, it was difficult to hide the fierce light in his eyes.

"Let's eat a piece of cake. The strong man took out a large bread from his pocket and handed it to the beggar. The beggar with the broken leg glanced at the bread in the strong man's hand with difficulty, swallowed and foamed with difficulty, and then replied: "Thank you, I won't eat it." ”

Immediately afterwards, the beggar slid the cart with his hands like a frightened rabbit, and ran madly towards the mouth of the alley. Watching the beggar run away like crazy, a sneer of disdain crossed the corner of the strong man's mouth.

He took three steps and two steps, and in a few strokes caught up with the beggar in front of him, and he crouched down in front of the beggar, and shoved the bread into the beggar's mouth, and the beggar resisted desperately, whining.
