in the ancient last days

Dai Shi clutched her chest in shock, Ye Ling was still adding fuel to the scene: "Grandmother, you don't know that at that time, the man threw down the burden, swiped it, and everyone jumped up before they could react... bit down What a big piece of flesh and blood!"

The old man has never seen a living person eating raw. He heard that the most difficult scene is that the desolate people pick up the Avalokitesvara soil and eat the bark. He was shocked by Ye Ling's words and his heart beat up and down. Who would have thought that the horror scene in the storybook would happen around him?

Although Ye Ling was a bit innocent since he was a child, he never lied, and everyone trusted him.

At any rate, the Chu family has also experienced great storms. The old lady thought for a while, and finally said to Chu's father hesitantly: "Jintong, why don't you wait for your second brother-in-law to come back? Xuan Zhan is a gangster, and has a group of good men to be friends with." , why not let him bring those gangsters to live in our house for a while..."

"Mother," Chu Changqing interrupted her dumbfoundedly, "We not only need to protect our own lives, but we also need to consider the peasants who have relied on us for protection for generations in Zhuangzi.

No matter how powerful the second brother-in-law's friend is, how can he protect such a big man?Besides, letting the second brother-in-law's friends face these people may be life-threatening, and we can't do that. "

"Yes, yes," the old lady Chu sighed while pinching the beads on her wrist, and said, "Oh, I hope the county government can have a countermeasure for this madness as soon as possible."

Chu Changqing remained silent. He hadn't told Mrs. Chu about the prophecy in his son's dream and what happened on the road.It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but the time has not come. If he says it now, Dai, who thinks it's just a kind of madness that can be cured, will definitely think that he is stupid and confused.

Most importantly, Father Chu didn't want to take the risk of exposing Chu Zhao's anomalies.

Feeling guilty for his selfishness, Father Chu didn't intend to sit still: "Mother, I will ask my servants to buy more grain, rice, salt and oil during this time, in case this madness breaks out, the price of the grain market will definitely rise Come on up."

"That's the reason." The old lady nodded in agreement.

The courtyard where Chu Zhao lives is arranged in the southeast corner of the mansion, where the lighting effect is the best.

It is true that Dai really loves him, but his attitude towards the eldest princess is another matter.

Liuli carefully tidied up the bed and quilt for Chu Zhao. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but say, "The maidservant just came back from His Highness, Your Highness...Your Highness, she seems a little unhappy."

Chu Zhao shook the pen holder in his hand: "There's no other way. It's great for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to meet each other and not be hostile to each other. If there are too many, we can't force it."

"Hee hee," Ran Mo, who was helping Chu Zhao tidy up his clothes, laughed, "Sister Liuli, don't even think about what your highness is, what is the old lady's identity? Your highness will overwhelm the old lady in Zhuangzi's status, old lady It's strange to be happy, His Highness doesn't necessarily feel comfortable in his heart! Sigh, it's just that the Patriarch suffers, and he's in a dilemma."

Liuli: "You, you, that's different, that's Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

"Qi, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are the same all over the world, fire and water are incompatible, just like my wife and mother..."

Chu Zhao sat quietly by the side, silently resting his chin on his villainous heart.

My son was only promising when he grew up, but he was seduced by a woman, and because of her not coming home for more than ten years, I would be angry if I were Mrs. Chu...

In addition, the decline of the Chu family was also caused by this. The former scholarly family is now not even allowed to enter the court, and can only hide in the outskirts of the small Xinxian County. This is what the old lady hates the most.

Understanding is understanding, but Chu Zhao is still on the side of the eldest princess. There is no absolute fairness in the world, and even gods can't be perfect in everything.

Suddenly smelling a fragrance, he jumped out of the window and saw the pink peach hanging on the treetop.

The flower branches are slim, sweet and fragrant, showing their beauty in the wind.

"it's beautiful."

A few days later, early in the morning.

Zhuangzi quietly drove out of a carriage by the side door. Sitting in the carriage was Chu Zhao, who had just returned to his home, and brought all his savings.

Under the orders of the eldest princess and Chu's father, the group of people who arrived at Chu's house kept tight-lipped about what happened along the way.

With the help of what they said to the old lady, the Chu family began to secretly hoard supplies.

Chu's father and the eldest princess had to worry about Datou's rice grains and other things. Chu Zhao came out this time because he wanted to find an opportunity to buy something else.

Da Hu and Hong Ping accompanied him this time. Hong Ping was the leader of the bandits that Chu Zhao subdued on the road this time, and now he has officially turned into Chu Zhao's bodyguard formation.

Sun Dahu scratched his head: "Young master, there are so few people on the street."

Hearing that Chu Zhao glanced out of the window, wondering if it was due to the incident at the pier, there were less than one ten bustling shops left on the return journey.

The streets are sparsely populated, and every household hides their doors, fearing that the man-eating madness will infect them.

Chu Zhao saw a shop selling silk and satin still open: "Come on, let's go there and have a look."

The front of the small shop is desolate, and the owner of the shop complains endlessly.It stands to reason that his house is the best cloth shop in the new city, and there used to be a lot of customers, but now because of the cannibalism that happened in the city, every house is closed, and no one patronizes his shop.

Sighing with a headache, he suddenly saw a tall, burly man walking in the doorway, with a centipede scar on his face, and his whole body smelled like he had seen blood.

The boss's suspicion was even a fright, wouldn't someone want to take advantage of the civil unrest and try to break into his cloth shop to rob?

The former bandit boss, now Hong Ping, didn't know that his eyes scared him enough: "Can you sell the satin?"

"...Huh?" The owner of the cloth shop foolishly responded.

Hong Ping felt that the brains of the person opposite him were not working well, so he was impatient: "Sell, or not?!"

"Sell, sell..." You have something to say.

"Young master, the boss said to sell!" Hong Ping turned his head and shouted.

The shop owner hid behind the counter and dared not speak until Chu Zhao got out of the car, as if he saw some savior.

"Young master, what kind of silk and satin do you want to buy?"

The owner of the shop rubbed his hands and smiled, and took out a piece of cloth with fine workmanship and light moire stitched on the corner of the clothes: "Liuyun silk, the latest cloth in Xiazhou City, look, this moiré, this color, like this." The cloth and silk should be worn on a person like the young master..."

Du Hu and Hong Ping nodded again and again.

Chu Zhao slightly raised his eyelids: "How much money?"

"Ah? This," the shopkeeper rubbed his hands: "To be honest, this cloth is scarce, but it is a high-quality brocade cloth. The price, of course, is also..."

Chu Zhao: "How much?"

"..."

The boss gritted his teeth: "The only treasure in the store, 100 taels of silver is for you!"

"I gave this price because I saw that the young master is outstanding."

Profiteer!Sun Dahu stared at him and was about to draw his sword. Although he was naive, he often went shopping with his old lady, but he also knew that the cloth was not worth much today, and 20 taels of silver was already the top of the sky.

Hong Ping followed Sun Dahu and drew his sword.

"Slow down." Stopping the two of them, Chu Zhao glanced at the satin around him, and pointed at the slender jade.

"How much do these add up to?"

"What?" The owner of the workshop caught his breath.

Chu Zhao: "I want them all."

When he came out of the silk and satin shop, Sun Dahu was still sullen: "Young master, the boss has clearly cheated us, why did you buy all his clothes?"

What puzzled him the most was that there was a sewing room and a professional embroiderer in the house, why did the young master buy these for cutting flowers? ?

"It doesn't matter." He didn't buy it for the Chu family. When the end of the world comes, silk cannot be restored immediately, and these clothes will definitely come in handy.Moreover, he came out of this trip to prodigal, so all the money in his hand should be spent.

Thinking that Luo Ling and Longxiao, who had just passed by in the cloth village, were all his now, Chu Zhao was in a good mood.

Gathering Hu Hui, he kicked away the snow ball that hit the toes of his boots, and he turned and got into the car: "Let's go to the next location."

"This terrible weather." After spitting, Hong Ping frowned and looked at the dark sky above his head, then turned around and drove away.

At the same time, the eldest princess and Father Chu arrived at the largest private salt trading hall in the city.

It was not recognized by the government, and all the people who came and went were people of various religions and high-levels. The eldest princess wore a black hat, nodded to Chu Changqing, and the two walked in the previously agreed direction.

"We want to see Master Cheng."

"Master Cheng?" The man dressed like a waiter in the shop glanced at the two of them with suspicious eyes: "Ding Bugou, Shibuxiao, Wang Buli."

Chu Changqing's hand under the sleeve slowly gestured out three numbers.

Big customer!Seeing this, the waiter in the shop finally smiled, with a flattering look: "I don't know how to address you, my lord?"

"Here," Chu Changqing was hesitating, when the Eldest Princess interrupted at the right time: "Master's surname is Jin, so you can call him Mr. Jin."

"This is?"

Chu Changqing: "Oh, this is someone's wife, I'm laughing at you."

The waiter immediately smiled and flattered, and led the two of them inside.

Passing by the window all the way, I inadvertently saw the scene outside the window, the eldest princess paused, this is,

The elegant and graceful sedan chair was surrounded by a group of tall domestic servants, and the word "Cui" on the flag was so bright that it could not be ignored. When she recognized who it was, her Danfeng eyes narrowed.

The waiter also followed the couple's line of sight to see the sedan chair hurriedly carried to the gate of the city, and couldn't help saying as he walked, "Madam also pays attention to Mr. Chen? After hearing that what happened in the county government this morning, Mr. Chen kindly thought I went to persuade him, but was rejected. No, I am so angry that the Cui family directly sent someone to pick him up!"

Father Chu finally knew who made his wife lose face so much, Qinghe Cui family, the most prominent family in Jiangyin today, one of the surnames of Dawu.

But who is Mr. Chen?What did the Cui family do in Xin County...Chu Changqing had just returned to Jiangyin and didn't know what to do. He didn't want to expose too much, so he pretended to test and said, "Then the other party is really unlucky."

"That's it," said the waiter while leading them away,

"It's not just a little unlucky, it's really unlucky, okay! He is the most powerful celebrity in the Cui family. How rare, he finally came to our Xin County to give lectures, and this kind of thing happened, alas."

"but……"

After a pause, the other party looked around, and cautiously approached gossip and said, "To be honest, I heard that someone from the Cui family actually suffered from a man-eating madness, that's why Mr. Chen rushed back in such a hurry!"

"Besides, the county government has made a decision, saying that those who are sick will be locked up and burned to death after three days. Our master said that the Cui family is a well-known family with a good reputation, and they definitely don't want to be with this family if they are killed. Things have something to do with it, so no, just run faster, haha..."

thump.

With a heavy heartbeat, Chu Changqing and the eldest princess looked at each other with horror.

The county government wants to burn all those who are ill?
