"Boil the mixed noodles into batter soup and send it down to top first."

Zhang Can exhaled deeply and said.

"No, big brother, the rest of the food is reserved for you."

"Send it all down."

"Okay."

Wu Qi hesitated and replied, and then left.

Xiao Tong saw Zhang Can send out all the rest of the food, and his expression eased a little, but he was still very anxious.

Zhang Can continued to sit in the chair for a while, and then got up and walked outside the house.

Xiao and the others followed behind one after another.

I saw people lying everywhere outside, and I could see some women and children with chapped skin, holding shriveled bark in one hand and eating it, and scooping water from the jar with a plastic cup in the other.

The whole belly was propped up very large.

Not far away, Wu Qi and the others had already set up a pot, they boiled water, poured mixed flour into it and stirred, and the hot noodle soup was cooked.

A scrawny, messy, dirty child with a bowl is queuing up to receive it.

None of the older people went up to get it.

At this moment, a dirty little girl received a bowl and hurriedly walked towards the old man who was lying against a stone not far away, and shouted very happily.

"Grandma, there's something to eat."

It's a pity that no matter how much the little girl shouted, the old grandmother did not respond.

The little girl shook the old woman's hand, but still did not respond, and then burst into tears.

"Woo, grandma, wake up, you have something to eat."

But the old man remained motionless, and kept a serene expression on his face, for fear that his granddaughter would be worried when she saw it.

"Grandma! Wake up! ”

At this moment, the little girl couldn't hold back anymore and began to cry loudly.

Zhang Can and others saw this scene in their eyes.

The hungry and dizzy people around looked at this scene with a sad look on their faces.

Xiao Tong's hands couldn't help but clench into fists, his bones gurgled, and he said to Zhang Can.

"Big brother, did you see it? We can't wait any longer, do you really want to go all the way to the dark and trust that person? ”

"Shut up!"

When Zhang Can saw Xiao Tong questioning Shen Qiu, he was immediately a little annoyed and scolded.

"Big brother, wake up! How can those who are high up remember us? ”

Xiao Tong said to Zhang Can.

"My eldest brother said let us wait, and we will definitely come back, and I will wait!"

Zhang Can said very angrily, his current mood is more uncomfortable than anyone else. But as Shen Qiu said, what future can there be if you continue to grab it?

"Big brother, you can't trust him so much because he once helped you! We can't afford to lose, you know, we're waiting for him with our lives! ”

Xiao Tong roared angrily.

Zhang Can directly kicked Xiao Tong's body and scolded angrily.

"Shut up!"

"Okay, don't let me say I won't say it. But I can't watch my relatives starve to death one by one, and my brothers are willing to come with me. ”

Xiao Tong shouted with red eyes.

Suddenly, half of the brothers present gathered around Xiao Tong.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhang Can's face changed suddenly, and he scolded Xiao Tong.

"Don't do it, you are willing to wait for death, we don't want to, brothers follow me to rob those profiteers."

Xiao Tong said and turned around with nearly half of his brothers.

"Xiao Tong, you come back for me!"

Zhang Can yelled angrily.

"It's not about you!"

Xiao and the others walked very resolutely, and they didn't listen to Zhang Can's words at all, and they went farther and farther.

Wu Qi and the others looked at Zhang Can at a loss, and asked hesitantly.

"Big brother, what should I do? Shall we go? ”

"No one is allowed to go, if you still recognize me as a big brother, stay here, and no one is allowed to run around!"

Zhang Can yelled angrily at Wu Qi and the others.

Wu Qi and the others lowered their heads one after another, and they were silent one by one.

Zhang Cantie walked to the side with a blushing face and sat down on the stone.

He sat still, the anger in his heart fading away, replaced by hesitation, sorrow, and pain.

In fact, Zhang Can has been silently under all kinds of pressure during this time, and he knows very well that people are starving to death every day.

But he couldn't go back to his old business, he promised Shen Qiu not to do anything until Shen Qiu came back.

Zhang Can knew very well that if there was anyone who could lead them out of the darkness, it must be Shen Qiu, and there was only one chance for this.

But his brother did not understand.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, dusk fell.

Zhang Can looked at the gradually setting sun, with a sad look on his face. At this moment, a hand pressed on Zhang Can's shoulder, and at the same time, a sigh sounded.

"Hey~ The world is suffering, and it's not a relief to be gone. Sorry, I'm late. ”

Zhang Can was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look over.

Seeing Shen Qiu standing behind Zhang Can, he suddenly stood up excitedly and said.

"Big brother, you're here."

"Hmm."

Shen Qiu nodded with a heavy expression, he came all the way and saw many people who were starving to death.

He didn't expect the situation to be worse than he had imagined.

Zhang Can smiled happily at this time, and he said to Shen Qiu excitedly.

"I knew big brother, you definitely wouldn't leave us alone."

"Don't talk about that, I see that your situation here is terrible, don't you have nothing to eat?"

Shen Qiu didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point.

"No, the last bit of food was boiled today, but it was useless."

Zhang Can shook his head and replied.

"Well, let's buy some food first."

"No, big brother, now a pound of noodles has risen to 200 alliance coins."

"Wasn't it 60 when I left?"

When Shen Qiu heard this price, his face suddenly sank. Not to mention that the maximum price limit of the Red Alliance is 5 alliance coins, the increase in the past few days alone is outrageous.

"It's up."

When Zhang Can talked about the price, he was also very angry.

At this moment, Wu Qi ran over with a panicked face and shouted at Zhang Can.

"Big brother is not good, something happened."

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Can's face changed and asked.

"Xiao Tong led people to rob Zheng Ang's gang of profiteers, but they were taken down."

Wu Qi said breathlessly.

Zhang Can's face darkened, he wanted to open his mouth and shout to copy the guy, but when he saw Shen Qiu standing in front of him, he held back again.

Shen Qiu asked with a frown.

"What's going on?"

"Big brother, I'm sorry, I didn't restrain the people below. That Xiao Tong saw that so many people starved to death every day, so he took people to rob profiteers privately, and the result was like this. ”

Zhang Can lowered his head and explained.

When Shen Qiu heard this, he asked in a deep voice.

"What is that Zheng Ang's character?"

"That Zheng Ang is the largest grain seller in our region, controls all grain sales channels, and is the dog leg of Xu Bin, the largest snake in our region."

Zhang Can explained to Shen Qiu.

"What is that Xu Bin's strength?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiu asked calmly.
