Chapter 44 Selling Rice by the Grain
After a few conversations, Shen Moli completely unintentionally forgave the bad behavior of the little monster as a human being.
Warcraft I slaughtered and made waves, even if he had just broken the shell and was born, his face was calm and solemn, and his killing intent was ruthless. Only when she tasted the food could she see the innocence and beauty of the young beast from the face of the little monster.
Between the two of them, one feeding and one eating, the bat house fell to the ground and flew away two or three hundred meters away from Mocheng.
Mocheng, long time no see. Shen Moli looked at the raised city wall not far away and thought. She wanted to save time and go straight to the Loquois Temple. Now, even when she arrived in Mocheng, there were still more than a month left to leave the days of the Lordie Temple martial arts competition, and she wanted to go back home.
When she looked closely, the figures at the top of the city wall were surging, as if they were different from the past.
Nervous, Shen Moli pulled the little monster and walked quickly to the city gate.
In a corner of the city, pedestrians are sparse on weekdays, but today it is lively.
Twenty or thirty guards wearing the armor of the Dongxu Dynasty stood above and below the city gate, and a group of pedestrians who hurried into the city lined up in small groups because of the guards' strict and long-term inspection.
A few vendors who used to shuttle between the city gates to sell sugar paintings and clay figurines retreated outside the city with fearful faces. shouted and solicited passengers from a distance of hundreds of meters, and the voice dropped a few points, all of which lost the former loudness.
The little monster contentedly stretched out its claws, circling around its round belly, and touched each other with unfinished touch between its lips and tongue.
Walking towards Mocheng, its body was a foot larger than before due to the consumption of spiritual power.
With the growth of the demonic beast, the demand for spiritual power is becoming more and more prosperous, but the growth of spiritual power on the body of the demonic beast is becoming slower and slower. After stepping into the god level, the spiritual power can be regarded as a slight increase in the growth of the demonic beast's body. Sometimes the demonic beast devours a city's spiritual power, and the demon body is difficult to grow a few centimeters.
When the little monster stepped forward, Shen Moli leaned over and hugged it, hugged it into his arms, looked closely at the army not far away, and said softly to the little monster: "When you enter the city, you will definitely pretend to be a puppet, and let that team of military masters beat you and kick you, you can't move, but remember." ”
After saying that, regardless of the little demonic beast's resistance, Shen Moli stretched out his finger and pinched the little demonic beast's hairy face. The soft and glutinous touch is very smooth, which arouses her strong interest in touching.
She stroked the fine hair of the little monster, and walked to the end of the inspection team, completely unaware of the stiff little monster, and her heart was full of shock and collapse. For generations, it may have been the first monster to be embraced by the Terrans. Warcraft has shocked the five clans for generations, and it is famous all over the world. Although it is a young beast, the young son of the demonic beast is also an existence that everyone fears and does not dare to get close to. This Terran woman was not afraid of it at all, it was really different! The little demonic beast glanced at Shen Moli with deep eyes, and lay still on her stomach.
Walking towards the city gate, Shen Moli didn't notice anything wrong with holding the demonic beast in his arms. The silky hairs touched the softness of her heart. She happily lined up to the end of the line, looking happy, completely different from the passers-by in front of the line.
The people in front of the line looked tense, looked at the front of the line solemnly, and counted their probability of entering the city in their hearts.
Several vendors clearly recognized Shen Moli, who often patronized them as a child, and their faces were worried, but they didn't step forward to say more. It was not easy to make a living, so in order to earn a meager amount of silver, they ventured out of the city gate and sold bits and pieces in exchange for half a bowl of grain and rice. It's hard to guarantee tomorrow for yourself, let alone protect the lives of others.
An officer and soldier walked in front of the vendor one by one, and did not forget to cough a few times as he walked.
Upon hearing the signal, the vendors hurriedly collected their belongings and hurried back to the city through a small gap in the city gate that had been left by the rows of troops. On the way, there were vendors who were busy and clay figurines landed, and they didn't bother to turn around to pick them up.
The military master of the security inspection team at the head of the team waited until the vendors had entered the city, and then shouted loudly to the back of the team: "Today's quota is full, and those who are in line need to enter Mocheng tomorrow." ”
It was an orderly team, but suddenly it turned into a hot pot and ants, and they all squeezed towards the door.
"Master Jun, it's good, there have been demons outside the city overnight recently, and if you don't enter the city, it's a dead end. ”
"Master Jun, my son is young, please be accommodating and let him in. The total horn age, he shouldn't die here. ”
"I don't want to die, I have money. Master Jun, as long as you let me in, I can honor you with all the money. ”
......
The crowd crowded at the door, cluttering pleading words, looking for a gap to get through the rows of troops.
In the complicated conversations, Shen Moli finally heard some clues. She was only less than two months away from Mocheng, how could there be demons on the outskirts of the city? For 10,000 years, she had never heard of a demon in the realm of Mocheng.
The aliens are afraid of the taboo curse, and they are all afraid of making waves in Mocheng, and they will be exterminated by the human race due to the pressure of force. Now, how can there be a demon who is not afraid of curses?
While thinking about it, Shen Moli walked forward, looking left and right to find a way to enter the city. The walls of Mocheng are more than ten feet high, and if she is not affected by the forbidden curse, she has already stepped into the middle steps, and it is not difficult to fly in from the city gate.
It's just that within a radius of dozens of meters outside Mocheng, the forbidden curse is deeply cultivated, and if she wants to fly in, she is afraid that she will fall into the mud halfway.
In Qin Sizhong, a vigorous voice sounded from the city: "Let them enter the city." ”
Shi Xuan, an eight-foot-tall middle-aged man in armor, walked out of the city, his hair tied up with strands of silver hidden in his sideburns. He stopped in front of the city gate, and the self-evident aura on his body made the crowd stop talking.
"General, no. You have already put in a lot of refugees two days ago, and if you release it again, the food stocks in Mocheng may not be sold for half a month. Then the whole city will die of starvation. "The soldiers who led the security check were discouraged.
They received the news that the second criminal was seriously injured more than a month ago, and the general was worried. It was only the war ahead that was tight, and they had to return to Mocheng more than ten days ago. Due to the remoteness of Mocheng, they only selected thirty or forty soldiers who were fast in the sky to accompany them.
I never thought that I would come to the city all the way to the bloody storm, first assassinated by the enemy country's spies, and then camped overnight in the wilderness ten miles away from Mocheng, and encountered a monster invasion. They have been through the battlefield and have defended countless enemies. Under the strong harassment of the monsters, more than ten people were still lost. Forgetting to fight for their lives, they finally killed the monster.
I thought that after the demon was eliminated, I could keep Mocheng peaceful again. However, when I arrived in Mocheng, I realized that there have been endless monsters outside the city recently, and pedestrians often pass by and are killed by monsters at night. Many passers-by businessmen and relatives were afraid of encountering monsters on the way, so they changed their itinerary and avoided going out of the city in Mocheng. The Mocheng Inn was overcrowded, and even on the street, there were many more sleepers.
The people of Mocheng did not have much food in stock, and at first they were happy that more merchants were patronizing. Families pound grain for food, compete to sell it in the market, and earn enough money to fill their pockets. But he soon found that his own grain bag was almost empty, and the carts and horses that came from it to sell grain every day had not been seen for a long time.
Hunger is stirred up everywhere in the city, and the barn grain is more expensive than gold. Some large households that still have grain in stock are even sitting on the ground to raise prices and selling rice grain by piece. The shocking price of a grain of broken silver and a grain of rice has made many already poor families in the city even worse, and they have no food for many days.
