Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Strange Snow God Cult
The snow fell from January to almost April, and there was no sign of stopping.
The people of Chunyang Town are panicked, because there is no harvest, the grain is getting more and more expensive, people die every day, most of these people are shantytowns or beggars, no one pays attention to the death, the government sent people to throw the corpses into the mass grave or burn it.
Dead people are secondary, and people's hearts are the most important thing.
There are even many people who believe that this is a catastrophe from heaven, the wrath of the gods.
All in all, the town is getting more and more chaotic, but it is still barely under the control of the government.
Along the way, especially in some alleys, Li Yun saw many young or middle-aged people taking risks and committing robbery.
For these people, Li Yun took action himself, knocked them out, and collected their stolen money by the way.
After about five or six times like this, Li Yun had already got about two taels of broken silver in his bag.
Barely enough.
Throwing the man who had passed out in his hand casually on the ground where five or six men were lying, Li Yun got out of the alley.
"The great benevolent people of the Snow God Sect have opened a porridge shop to provide it for free!"
"Fathers and fellow villagers, the adults of the Snow God Sect saw that we were living in hardship, and opened a porridge shop for us to drink for free, let's go quickly, it's gone when it's late!"
As soon as he walked out of the alley, Li Yun saw a young man in a white robe with a fanatical and excited face on the street shouting loudly.
Hearing that the porridge was free to drink, the pedestrians and beggars around hurriedly moved and rushed over like zombies.
The young man was taken aback, and hurriedly pointed to the street corner in front of him: "The porridge shop is set up on the right side of the street, go quickly, it's too late, but it's gone!" ”
The people rushed out immediately.
Li Yun stood in place, watching this scene, slightly puzzled in his heart.
It's the Snow God Cult again... Now that the government has not opened the porridge shop, this Snow God Sect is opening the porridge shop one step faster, what is the situation of this sect.
After thinking about it, Li Yun walked towards the location of the porridge shop.
Walking to the corner of the street, Li Yun saw a large group of people gathered around a porridge shop.
Vaguely, Li Yun saw a few disciples in white scooping porridge, and a sturdy middle-aged man in a yellow and white robe smiling and looking at the people compassionately.
The middle-aged man in a yellow and white robe stood in front of the grain shop, controlling the order in a soft voice, until everyone had received a bowl of hot porridge, and he performed a strange etiquette, his voice was soft, but extremely loud.
"Everything in the world is dark and uncertain, and now the heavy snow is coming to the world, not for disasters, but for great blessings, great virtues, and great benevolence."
The middle-aged man said loudly: "Death is not enough to fear, the snow is a gift from the gods, believe in the snow god, embrace the snow, and after death, you can climb the snow god and enjoy the blessing of eternal life." ”
"Ordinary people, the filth has not disappeared, and you should enjoy the baptism of snow..."
"It's coming, it's coming, free medicine!" Someone whispered excitedly in the crowd.
At this time, the five disciples who were scooping porridge were each carrying a large wooden basin, and Li Yun's eyesight was excellent, and he could clearly see that there were many medicine bags in the wooden basin.
"Bless!" The middle-aged disciple said loudly.
The five people immediately grabbed a handful of medicine bags from the wooden basin and threw them into the crowd, and every few breaths, another large handful of medicine bags.
The people immediately rushed wildly, these medicines can be life-saving in this world.
"Immeasurably great and perfect Snow God!"
Someone shouted in the crowd, and immediately someone responded, and at the end, everyone who picked up the medicine bag praised the so-called snow god with happy faces.
Seeing such a scene, for some reason, Li Yun actually felt a little cold in his body, and he actually had goosebumps.
Evil, too evil, too weird.
Rubbing his arms, Li Yun stopped looking at it, turned around and left directly.
went to the main street, wiped out all the silver and flowers on his body, bought 100 catties of rice grain, and some cabbage and winter bamboo shoots, and Li Yun carried them home with large bags and small bags.
In recent years, the price of grain has risen a lot.
On this trip, he spent all the money on his body.
Previously, one tael of silver was enough to buy one hundred and fifty catties of good chestnut rice, but now one tael of silver is only about one hundred catties.
Looking at this posture, it is estimated that after a while, one or two pieces of silver can only buy dozens of catties.
There's not enough money...
Before, he easily got two taels of silver, but now it was gone in an instant, and Li Yun felt a little helpless in his heart.
Originally, I was going to buy a dress for Xiaorou, but this plan could only be ruined, and tomorrow, I would like to ask Zhou Song what ways to make money quickly.
Around half a burnt incense, Li Yun returned home.
Xiao Rou is also at home.
Seeing Li Yun go home with a pair of rice grains, Xiao Rou hurriedly put it away properly with her own man.
Then, the two walked into the main house, Xiaorou lightly stuck it on Li Yun's body, took out the money bag from his pocket and handed it to Li Yun: "Uncle, I told the shopkeeper that I won't go to the pharmacy in the future, and he also gave me a hundred copper plates, I now have one hundred and fifty-two copper plates, you can use them." ”
How could Li Yun ask for his woman's money, and returned the money bag to Li Yun with a smile: "No need, you just collect it yourself, I have the money for myself." ”
"Okay..."Xiao Rou nodded, suddenly thought of something, and took out another medicine bag.
"By the way, uncle, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy where I worked before has been replaced, wasn't it the shopkeeper Yang before, and now a middle-aged man is the shopkeeper, I heard him say that he is a disciple of the shopkeeper Yang, and the shopkeeper Yang went home to live for a long time, so he handed over the pharmacy to him."
"The new shopkeeper is pretty good, he gave each of us a medicine bag, and he didn't ask for a penny, saying that this medicine bag can improve the physique and warm the qi and blood."
Seeing the medicine bag in Xiao Rou's hand, Li Yun's face instantly became solemn, the medicine bag thrown by the Snow God Sect disciple before coincided perfectly with it, this medicine bag was the product of the Snow God Sect.
Li Yun didn't think about throwing this medicine bag out, looking at Xiao Rou's puzzled look, Li Yun said seriously: "This is the medicine of the Snow God Sect, I suspect that they have some intentions, we can't drink this medicine, we can't touch it at all." ”
"Free stuff has to come at a huge price."
Hearing this, Xiao Rou nodded: "I know uncle, I wasn't going to cook this medicine originally, that new shopkeeper is too strange, every time he finishes speaking, he has to perform a strange etiquette, and from time to time he has to mumble something to praise the snow god." ”
"He is from the Snow God Sect," Li Yun took a deep breath, and guessed in his heart, maybe Shopkeeper Yang had been killed.
"Xiaorou, you are at home these days, and you are all disciples of the Snow God Sect outside, wait for this time when the wind passes."
"Okay, uncle," Xiao Rou nodded, she was very obedient and smart, and when she said this, she immediately knew the danger.
……
Late at night, Li Yun and Xiao Rou slept on the same bed, Xiao Rou was naked and hugged Li Yun, and her face was still a little charming and ruddy.
Li Yun closed his eyes, this time he didn't get an entry with Xiao Rou, this is because Xiao Rou's green entry has nothing but the root bones.
It was snowing heavily outside the window, and faintly, Li Yun seemed to hear dense footsteps outside the courtyard.
The next second.
Clang!
A crisp gong and drum sounded and immediately made Li Yun sit up.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Xiao Rou came to her senses and leaned against Li Yun's body.
Li Yun's eyebrows furrowed: "You sleep well, I'll go out and have a look." ”
