food crisis [end times]

Zhao Xiaojing was taken aback by Zhu Yan's question. She opened her mouth, but forgot to organize her words.

Zhu Yan put one hand on Xiang Luo's shoulder, leaned forward, tilted his head, and looked at Zhao Xiaojing with a bit of sarcasm on his monstrous face.

Before the end of the world, Zhao Xiaojing had never seen such a good-looking man. After the end of the world, such a person is more like a fairy who fell from the sky.

Only then did I hear Zhu Yan say: "The people in your village are really stupid. Not long after you left, they did start growing fungus bags. But they didn't listen to our teaching, so they thought they knew everything. As a result, they planted ten li of fungus bags." Eight or nine will not work. They put the blame on us, told us to lose money, and said that we deliberately took their money to fool them. You know, I was kicked out of your village once before the world was chaotic. I didn’t expect Then came again. I knew that the people in your village were hopeless, and even Xiang Luo, who always spoke for your village, felt cold towards them, so we just packed up and came out of the village."

Zhao Xiaojing was stunned when she heard that, she didn't expect so many things to happen after she left, but she didn't doubt the authenticity of Zhu Yan's words at all, because similar things did happen before.

Besides, Zhu Yan wasn't completely lying, they were indeed suspected by the village.There were also troubles.It's just a joke.

The most difficult lie in the world to be suspected is that three parts are true and seven parts are false.What's more, the current Zhao Xiaojing doesn't have the energy to doubt whether it's true or not.

"The village is now..." Zhao Xiaojing's voice was a little crying again.

Zhu Yan sighed: "I don't know, I haven't been back anyway. But I met people who came out of the village. It was said that they were causing bandits to rob food. I couldn't bear the village, so I went to the city. But who doesn't know the safety of the city? The city is crowded. There are so many people in this city, and people's hearts are even more chaotic. It is not easy to calculate."

Zhao Xiaojing's eyes changed, and she didn't know what to think of.He said something hastily, and finally knelt down and hugged his knees:

"That's really the last bit gone! How could this be!"

Xiang Luo understood Zhu Yan's thoughts.This woman obviously still has nostalgia for that so-called "home".If the village is developing very well now, and every household has enough food and clothing, she will definitely be impatient and go back and tell everyone to go back.

But how can there be such a good thing?When the whole village was struggling, you resolutely left. Now that life is better, you came to pick peaches?And the more serious point is that even if the village reads them in for the sake of being fellow villagers, they have been baptized in the last days, can those who have been robbers return to the village and live in peace?Wouldn't he soon become a bully again in the village?

A Zhou Xingfeng has already caused so many disputes, so naturally he can't let this group of people return to the village to cause trouble for others.

So they absolutely cannot go back.

But I don't want to provoke them, I just need to turn around and leave.

Zhu Yan spent so much time saying such a passage, mainly to test Zhao Xiaojing himself.

In the end, can she only share wealth, or can she also share adversity.It depends on her own choice.

Zhu Yan didn't speak, just looked at her with lowered eyebrows, his eyes seemed to be pity, but also mocking.Just look at Zhao Xiaojing like that.

Zhao Xiaojing raised her head and looked at Zhu Yan against the light. At that moment, her heart seemed to be poked hard.

"You...you take me away, please! Buy me and go! I don't want to be here anymore. I know you are good people. Just give me a bite of food. Life here is too hard, I can't take it anymore!"

If there was no hope, she could have adapted to the dark.But the arrival of the two undoubtedly became a ray of light in Zhao Xiaojing's dark life.

Xiang Luo looked at Zhu Yan, reading the disappointment and disgust in his eyes.

In fact, it's not Zhao Xiaojing's fault, her vision determines her actions.As a person who can be bought and sold by his father as a commodity but is content with the status quo, how can he think too much about long-term things.

Xiang Luo sometimes falls into a similar dead end.It's just that Zhu Yan is by his side who can push him at any time, but unfortunately Zhao Xiaojing doesn't.

Xiang Luo said: "We are in business, and there is still a long way to go, we can't take people away."

Zhao Xiaojing hurriedly said: "I'm not noisy at all! I won't bother you either! I... I'll wash your clothes and cook for you, and you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't beat me or scold me. Or let me... I just want to live like a human being!"

Xiang Luo's tone became more serious: "Didn't you understand? As I said, we don't take anyone with us."

Zhao Xiaojing was startled, and then realized that this was not an excuse for excuses, but that he simply didn't like people around.

The two are classmates after all, and they are in the same village.Zhao Xiaojing knew that Xiang Luo was withdrawn and rarely interacted with others.Even after the end of the world, they only lived in the same yard with Zhu Yananwei, so there were still a lot of gossip in the village.

Zhao Xiaojing put her hope on Zhu Yan again.Such a good-looking person must not be so cruel...

Unfortunately, Zhu Yan's heart is far more cruel than Xiang Luo's.

"It can be seen that you are very eager to get rid of the current predicament. But have you ever thought about it. Are you really worthy of the life you want now?"

Zhao Xiaojing didn't understand: "It's because my family life is too hard now, I can't do anything..."

"In this world, everyone encounters the same situation. But life is full of good and bad. You can say that it is luck, but you have to understand that in this world, even if it is pure luck, it is also a part of strength .”

Zhao Xiaojing opened her mouth, but there was no sound.

"For example, if you want to be well-clothed and well-fed, you will be rich with a thunderbolt on the ground. You should think about what you need to do if you want such a life. Instead of being trapped in the current world, looking after yourself He sighed. He didn't even have the most basic planning and preparation for his life, but he treated insignificant strangers as the last straw. Even if we took you away today, how should you live? Continue to be someone's concubine ? The most is to change to a man who doesn't hit you, and then?"

Yes, then what?

Zhao Xiaojing really didn't think about it.

In fact, being able to meet is also a kind of fate.

Xiang Luo thought about it, and said, "I can't take you away, but since I was able to meet you, it's a bit of fate. You can imagine what you want to do in the future. We can't do anything else, at least we will redeem you." The food is still available. But it’s still the same sentence, you don’t want to think about your future, you just continue to do your old job in another place, and nothing will change. It’s impossible for us to help you a second time.”

Zhao Xiaojing thought she could grab this life-saving straw and jump out of the wolf den completely.It's just that what Xiang Luo threw down was not a sky-high rope, but a mountaineering equipment.

If you want to get out of the abyss, you have to climb up little by little.

In fact, Zhao Xiaojing in the past was really not so useless.It's just that a little bit of waste in these last days made her start to follow the torrent of fate.

But Xiang Luo and the two told her that she could swim against the current.

"I...I want to go to the city!" Zhao Xiaojing said, "I want to go to the city! I've heard people say that the conditions there are much better than here. If I want to support myself, I can definitely do it there! Please send me I'm going to the city!"

The more Zhao Xiaojing spoke, the more excited she became, and her voice became louder.

Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, a shirtless man not far away came over, and this time he was not alone, and there were eight or nine people behind him.All of them have slender bodies and fierce expressions.

"What do you mean! You still want to rob people!"

A few people obviously fought frequently, and they came over well-trained to surround the two together.

Only then did Zhao Xiaojing come to her senses, shaking her head in a panic and explaining: "Brother, don't get me wrong! We...we...ah!"

As soon as the words fell, the bare-armed man stepped up and raised his hand to slap Zhao Xiaojing.

Zhao Xiaojing was already thin and weak, but this slap made her fall to the ground.A little flame that had just risen was extinguished the moment they saw this group of people approaching.

With such a powerful and domineering group of people, does she still have a chance to escape?

The beaten Zhao Xiaojing didn't move at all, and the arrogance of the shirtless man became even more arrogant.The knife in his hand gestured towards Xiang Luo's body: "Don't bully me too much, just grab me!"

Xiang Luo grabbed the blade directly, and with a twist of his wrist, the shirtless man let go.

The people around were clamoring to come up and fight, but in the next second they heard a "click", and everyone stopped their movements.

This kind of sword is called Kai Shan Dao, and the material varies, but the blade is thick and hard, so it is not easy to break when slashing, and it is easy to use force, causing fatal damage to the enemy.

It is a knife specially made for fighting.

But in Xiang Luo's hands, it was like a piece of tofu, and his hands broke when he tried hard.

The harder something is, the more brittle it is and the easier it is to break.But brittle is brittle, but the force required to break such a thick knife is quite terrifying.

At least in the impression of this group of hooligans, this is at least not the strength that a human would have.

In fact, they were not the only ones who were surprised, Xiang Luo and Zhu Yan were also surprised.Xiang Luo's idea was to bend the knife to give the opponent a deterrent, but he didn't expect the knife to break so effortlessly.I don't know if Xiang Luo's strength is really shocking, or if this knife is fake and shoddy, so not durable.

Zhu Yan was the first to react, and said with a sneer, "Do you still dare to approach? Or do you think your bones are harder than this steel knife?"

As soon as the voice fell, the people around immediately retreated a little.

Only then did Zhu Yan turn around and ask Zhao Xiaojing who had just sat up: "How much food did they buy from you?"

Zhao Xiaojing still couldn't suppress the trembling of her body, and replied, "Twenty catties of miscellaneous grains."

Such a young and beautiful woman is only worth twenty catties of grain.Xiang Luo vaguely remembered that at this time a year ago, there were people buying and selling people, and it was only a few hundred catties of grain.

It can be seen how scarce food is now.

Zhu Yan said to the bare-armed man in a deep voice: "40 catties of miscellaneous grains, I bought this man, if you agree, I'll go get the grains, if you don't agree..."

Xiang Luo casually threw the two wreckage of the knife at the bare-armed man's feet.

The jingling sound of metal falling on the ground and colliding has become a silent warning.
