The courtyard suddenly became quiet.
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.
Mrs. Chen said calmly: "My family doesn't have enough food to eat. How can I borrow more?"
Shan Zi's mother said hurriedly: "I made a mistake. It's not borrowing, it's buying."
"According to the current price of food, it is ten times the price. " "Sell it to me for a little bit, or Shanzi and I won't have anything to eat."
Shanzi's mother said she wanted to borrow it first, but she actually planned to go to Huainan County or Donghai County to buy food and then pay it back. The price of food there would not be the same as in previous years. Ten times that.
But Mrs. Chen refused to lend it, so Shan Zima made a quick decision and bought it!
Chen hesitated and looked at Gu Zhang.
His family still had some whole grains they bought earlier, but they didn't eat much and there was still a lot left.
Gu Zhang nodded slightly.
Mrs. Chen then said: "Then I will give you two liters, and there will be no more. Alas, I can't really see you and Shanzi without food."
"Don't talk about ten times the price. Dalang bought it at that time At that time, it was only five times the price, so you can pay it at this price."
Shanzi's mother was happy and said, "Thank you very much." Mrs.
Chen took out two liters of millet and gave it to Shanzi's mother. She took the money and continued. Cook.
Qian's eyes rolled, and when he was about to say something to Gu Zhong, he heard Uncle Ma say: "If every family has insufficient food, they can enter the city in two days and buy it then."
Uncle Ma was kind-hearted. , for fear that every household would come to Chen to buy grain at five times the price.
After all, the price of food outside has increased tenfold.
Gu Zhong's family was running out of food. Qian was reluctant to buy it, but after looking at the situation, she was afraid that Chen would not lend it to her, which would put her in a dilemma.
After thinking about it, she decided to forget it. If she didn't buy it, she wouldn't believe that Gu Laoer could watch her eldest brother starve to death.
Even if he can do it, others will still blame him!
Sure enough, we arrived at Xincheng two days later.
There are still many victims outside the city gate.
The court has already begun disaster relief.
The imperial court would give out porridge outside the city gate every day. Naturally, the victims would not leave because they had something to eat.
Gu Zhang's injury had long since healed, and he followed the village chief around to inquire about the news.
Gu Fei was looking around when a man with a sinister look suddenly came over. He looked Gu Fei up and down, then at Lanzhi, then at Lian'er behind Gu Fei, "Little girls, do you want to have a good meal?"
"Follow me. " I'll go, I'll have something to eat!"
Gu Fei rolled his eyes, he was sure he was a trafficker.
Lian'er took a step forward and waved her hand to chase him away, "Let's go, let's go, we are not short of food."
When the trafficker saw the three pretty little girls, he was reluctant to leave, and stayed around to persuade him, "Little girl, I am Honest people, I won't lie to you. Just follow me and you will have enough to eat in no time."
Seeing that he was always pestering, Gu Fei bulged her eyes, raised her fists, and threatened, "Go away, or I'll beat you if you don't go. "Yeah."
Su Chen sat next to him and chuckled. The girl's bulging eyes were quite cute. She was obviously a master who dared to kill people and kill wolves with a long knife. When she put down the knife, she was just a silly little girl.
He didn't know why, but he always paid attention to this little girl unconsciously. Maybe he was curious at first, but later he always found something different in her.
Not only is she different from other girls, she also seems to have many different appearances.
Zhang Ze glanced at his master from the side and felt that his master was paying too much attention to this little girl.
However, this is not his business.
