Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Depression of the Market

"Brother Shen, it seems that I can't drink this wine today, you tell me where you live, and I'll come to you another day, let's have a good time drinking him." Yu Meng retracted his gaze, patted Shen Luo on the shoulder with one hand, and said.

"Don't hide it from the eldest brother, I actually just arrived in the city not long ago, as for the residence......" Shen Luo deliberately smiled bitterly, and said vaguely.

"Oh, my brother is not from this city, but he is willing to come and defend the city at the risk of death, so bold, good brother!" Yu Meng was stunned when he heard this, and then gave Shen Luo a thumbs up.

When the other three servants heard this, their eyes looking at Shen Luo also became a little kinder.

"Brother Yu has won the award, and I am also doing what I can to protect myself. Shen Luo hurriedly waved his hand.

"Haha, in this world, there are really not many bloody men like Brother Shen! Brother Shen, if you don't have a foothold in the city, why don't you go home with me first. Yu Meng laughed, then thought of something and asked.

"It's true that I haven't had time to find a place to live, so I'll bother my brother. Shen Luozheng was full of doubts, so he agreed.

"What are you bothering about, brother, what do you say, let's go!" Yu Meng raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Shen Luo's shoulder, and said.

A few people walked along the road and came to the corner tower at the head of the city, and just about to walk to the steps of the city road, they saw three or five soldiers in standard armor, supporting a fat middle-aged man, moving up to the city head step by step.

Shen Luo lowered his head and saw that the man had a fair complexion, a short yellow beard on the side of his mouth, and a very ill-fitting armor on his body, which looked like a fat pork belly stuffed in a turtle shell, which was extremely uneven.

The middle-aged man and his party also saw Yu Meng and the others who were coming down from the city, and temporarily stopped in place.

"Make way for the strong. The middle-aged man's gaze fell on Tian Chong's corpse, his face changed slightly, and he raised his hand and shouted.

The soldiers immediately helped him to the side of the wall, making way for him.

"You send Tian Chong back first. Yu Meng turned sideways and instructed the rest of the people.

The three servants answered, and then carried Tian Chong's body and went down the city road stairs first.

When he passed by the fat middle-aged man, the latter looked at the blackened blood stains on the flag, and cold sweat flowed down his head.

Shen Luo followed Yu Meng down the city and came to the man's side.

"Lord Liu. Yu Meng said with his fists clenched.

Yu ...... Yu Xian's nephew. The middle-aged man hurriedly took out the silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"There are a lot of livestock that have attacked the city this time, and there are also a lot of corpses left, which must be cleaned up as soon as possible, just so that the people in the city can continue to divide the reserves. In addition, several damaged walls must also be repaired as soon as possible. Yu Meng glanced back at the city and said.

"Don't worry, the virtuous nephew has already sent someone to do it. Lord Liu said hurriedly.

Yu Meng nodded, then said no more, and continued to go down the city with Shen Luo.

That Lord Liu wanted to say something, but when he saw that Yu didn't look back, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, wiped his sweat again, and continued to go to the city with the support of several people.

"Who is this Lord Liu?" Shen Luo asked as he walked down the city wall.

"Donglai County Commander Liu Fu. Yu Meng replied casually.

"It turned out to be a parent officer in charge of military and political affairs in a place. Shen Luo said, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

Although Yu Meng doesn't look like an ordinary young man guarding the city, he doesn't look like he has an official body, how can this "Lord Liu" look a little nervous in front of him?

"What kind of parents are officials? It's just a weak scholar, and it's okay to break off a case of chickens and dogs in a broken way, but now at this time, it's a joke at all. The armament of the entire Donglai County is relaxed, if it weren't for these young people in the city, relying on the original soldiers, they would not be able to hold on to the present. Yu Meng snorted coldly and said.

When Shen Luo heard this, he immediately understood why Yu Meng looked bad in the face of this person.

But then again, although this person is as timid as a mouse, after all, he did not abandon the city and fled, and after the war, he still knew that he was much better than those officials in the neighboring counties. Yu Meng sighed and said again.

"That's right. Shen Luo nodded, but he had a little more understanding of that Liu County Commander.

At the moment of life and death, how many people can really treat death as home?

However, at the same time, a doubt arose in his heart, in his impression, Donglai County should be in the south of Chishui County, although he has not been there, but he has never heard of such a terrible wolf pack in that area?

If such a thing happens, it will soon spread all over the world.

"Brother Shen, let's go. Yu Meng was a little stunned when he saw Shen Luo, and urged.

......

Fang Cai didn't feel anything on the city wall, but when he entered the city at this moment, Shen Luo felt that the Donglai County in front of him was quite majestic, nearly a zhang higher than the city wall of their Chunhua County.

The walls are unusually tall and wide, like mountains to protect the city, although the walls have been eroded by wind and rain, the walls are peeling off, and there are still many places damaged, you can still vaguely see the majestic atmosphere of the past.

Beneath their feet, a wide main road that stretched straight into the city, large enough for four horse-drawn carriages to drive alongside, was in a state of disrepair, and the ground looked potholed.

The width of some shops on both sides of the main road, as well as the height of the houses, are better than those of Chunhua City, but for some reason, they look a little dilapidated.

The architectural style here is quite different from that of Chunhua County, the building structure of Chunhua County is concise, mainly solemn and generous, although the buildings here are also quite tall, but the eaves, walls, door frames and other places have a lot of decoration.

"My home is near the Temple of Literature, and Brother Shen came with me. Yu Meng took Shen Luo and walked towards the depths of the city.

Shen Luo followed Yu Meng behind him, and continued to look around, the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt in his heart.

At this moment, it is close to evening, the sky is still bright, but there is no human figure on the streets of the city, most of the shops on both sides of the streets in the city have been closed, and a large restaurant at the entrance of the street that looks like it was once very prosperous has not even closed the door, but the building has long been empty, and the ground is full of dust, I don't know how long it has been closed.

On both sides of the street, only a few shops selling rice, noodles and other necessities are still open, and they are also open.

Among these people, the appearance and clothing of the men are the same as many people in the city, they are all dressed in robes, wrapped in long scarves on their heads, and the front and back hem are a little shorter than what Shen Luo usually sees. The women, on the other hand, wore their hair in a bun, wore a short undergarment or shirt on the upper body, exposing the skin on their necks and chests, and wore long skirts on their lower bodies, which was quite different from those in Chunhua County.

For some reason, Shen Luo always felt that these people's faces were a little numb, especially with an indescribable feeling in their eyes, as if they were a little frightened and a little confused.

On both sides of the street, you can occasionally see some unclothed people, including old people and children, begging for passers-by, in exchange for most of them being indifferent, completely gloomy and depressing, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"Could it be that this Donglai County is not the Donglai County of Chishui County that I know?

Yu Meng seemed to be accustomed to all this, and strode all the way towards the city.

Shen Luo had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart and quickly followed Yu Meng.
