Chapter 37 Daily Life (seeking reading)

The last Guiyuan Pill was handed over to Ji Hongxin.

Ji Hongxin reached out to take it, patted Su Heng on the shoulder, and sighed: "Little brother, you have helped me a lot this time."

"Just done what I should do."

Su Heng shook his head.

There was a look of unscathingness on his face.

After accepting Ji Hongxin's commission and refining elixirs, Su Heng gained a lot... Guiyuan Pill, related elixir recipes and knowledge, and subsequent rewards for martial arts, etc.

It is difficult to quantify these things with specific silver.

But at the same time.

It was also because of this incident that Su Heng was involved in another dangerous dispute.

The specific gains and losses are difficult to explain clearly.

"By the way, Brother Su, you can raise any rewards you want, whether it is martial arts, silver or other things, as long as it is within our ability, it can be satisfied."

Ji Hongxin said sincerely.

This attitude is to make friends with such a promising alchemist.

At the same time, it is also some compensation for the previous assassination incident.

"I want martial arts with Dragon Claw Technique and medicines to assist in practice." Su Heng naturally would not be polite to Ji Hongxin, and continued to speak: "Also, I hope I can help inquire about the whereabouts of "Hongxiang Zhenyi"."

"no problem."

Ji Hongxin nodded and said, "For the former, I can arrange for you to study in the Qingcheng Gang's boxing academy, where will there be a special martial artist to guide the lecture.

Of course, I can also directly copy the martial arts, and you can make your own choice."

"As for the latter, "Hongxiang Zhenyi" is the signature martial arts of Longde Temple. If you want to obtain it, it will be difficult, and you may have to wait for a while."

"Special guidance from the martial arts master?"

Although Su Heng's talent is good, it would be better if he could be taught by a famous teacher.

On the road of cultivation, sometimes two or three words from those who have come can avoid many detours. Su Heng did not hesitate and decisively chose to join the Qingcheng Gang Boxing Academy to follow the martial artist to practice further.

As for the true meaning of Hongxiang.

Su Heng also knew the difficulties and couldn't hurry up and could only wait slowly.

"By the way." Ji Hongxin was about to leave, but Su Heng suddenly remembered something and said: "This yard has a good scenery. I want my sister to move here."

Ji Hongxin was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Su Heng's face so serious, he thought it was something big.

Unexpectedly...

Ji Hongxin laughed, "Of course, two or three years ago, similar courtyards were quite valuable, but now the outer city is getting more and more chaotic, and there are fewer and fewer people. There are quite a lot of yards like this. If you want, just give it to you."

Say Ji Hongxin away.

Su Heng packed up his things, sorted out his clothes, stuffed them in a gray cloth bag and carried them on his back.

I also left this villa where I had lived for more than a month.

He plans to go home first.

However, this villa is not far from the market of Qingcheng Gang.

It seems a bit unpleasant to be away from home for more than a month, so Su Heng turned a corner and planned to go to the market to buy something before going home.

Come to the market.

The layout in the market has not changed much from Su Heng’s memory.

However, in the market, whether it is vendors or abortion, it is obviously much less common.

Some small vendors selling mountain goods were sitting on the ground, with a slutty face and a weak voice. The whole market looked lifeless.

Su Heng is at the entrance of the vendor.

I also saw a large group of people gathered together.

After taking a large amount of Guiyuan Dan, Su Heng's height was gradually approaching two meters.

Even if you stand in the distance without stepping on your feet, you can clearly see three thin figures in sloppy clothes and scattered faces surrounded by the crowd.

There was a wooden sign hanging around the necks of the three of them.

It is written in a crooked font: Selling oneself to bury your father, selling oneself to bury your mother, and selling oneself to bury your brother.

The three of them lined up in a row, their faces were extremely desolate, but Su Heng looked from afar, for some reason, and always felt speechless in his heart.

These days.

It's already very good for most people to survive on their own.

Few people will take a burden back from the market.

Su Heng shook his head and silently left in the direction away from the crowd. He came to a rice shop on the street, lifted the curtain, and stepped into it.

The slightly dark room was filled with a slight smell of mold.

In front of Su Heng was an old wooden counter, and a thin girl with a white hat on her head stood quietly behind the counter.

With deer-like eyes, after seeing Su Heng who could only cross the threshold, he couldn't help but feel a little irrepressible fear.

Su Heng used a bag to load some fine rice from the container.

He took out a corner of silver from his arms, put it with the rice on the container in front of the girl, waiting for the girl to return the change.

Never thought.

The girl's body trembled slightly and she didn't say a word for a long time.

Su Heng couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't this money enough to buy these fine rice?"

"Guest, that's not like this..." the girl raised her head and said tremblingly: "We don't check in now."

After some conversation.

The girl gradually became bolder and explained the whole story clearly: "The prices outside are experiencing great collapse. Now most of the transactions in the market are made by bartering or using relief cards issued by Qingcheng Gang to buy them."

The so-called relief card is a wooden sign with a special mark issued by the Qingcheng Gang.

Through this wooden sign, you can exchange a certain amount of mixed grains, rice and flour in the rice shop of Qingcheng Gang. It is equivalent to a currency in a special period.

"I see."

Su Heng nodded slightly and finally understood.

Precious metals such as gold and silver have natural monetary value.

But such value will quickly weaken with the chaos of social order and may even disappear completely. After understanding the key, Su Heng did not make things difficult for the little girl in front of him.

He came to the Qingcheng Gang's residence and exchanged some relief cards from the manager in charge of this matter.

Then he held the relief card.

I bought some rice, flour, grain, oil, etc. that are necessary for life from the market.

...

evening.

Su Heng returned home.

In the familiar room, Su Ping was sitting on the bed, carefully sewing the clothes in his hands with the help of the candlelight.

With Su Heng's current income and status, Su Ping no longer needs to work hard to take on these sewing and scrubbing tasks every day to maintain his life.

But Su Ping is so idle that he still finds something for himself every day.

Su Ping did a serious job. When Su Heng entered the room, he knocked on the door and made a sound. Su Ping then raised his head and saw his younger brother standing at the door.

The tall body was bathed in the red light of the setting sun, with a faint smile on her face.
