The sun had just climbed over the treetops when the three of them drove the carriage into the town. The whole town was like an empty city, with not a single pedestrian on the road.

The sun was shining directly in the dry air, making it even hotter than usual in June and July.

But if you look closely, you will find that from time to time behind closed doors and windows, pairs of eyes flashing with desire, greed, wariness... etc.

Fortunately, under the suppression of Shi Hai's troops, there are no robberies in the town during the day.

But after all, at this time

Mei Niang shook off the sweat on her head. She was not tired sitting in the car, but being exposed to the sun, she was dry and thirsty. She felt like a little cat lying in a small river that had been dried by the sun.

The fish kept panting and panting with its big mouth open.

Fortunately, they brought a clay pot of water with them when they went out, so there was no need for Meiniang to hide and drink the space water secretly.

Just when she passed Erya's store, Mei Niang's eyes started to look at her, and she was so confused.

Naturally, her main purpose of coming to town this time was to visit Erya's place. Maybe Erya had already contacted Erya for the things she wanted and was waiting for her to exchange them for food.

But with Yun Xuan and Jiang Chuye, she didn't have this chance.

These things still cannot be known to the two of them, and she has no legitimate reason to throw them away. It seems that she can only take one step at a time, and she can only find another opportunity.

Nowadays, Shi Hai and his officers and soldiers live in the Xiaowei Mansion in the town. This used to be the homestead of a wealthy family named Wang. However, there was chaos in the town just after the Chinese New Year. In addition to Helongji being robbed, several other wealthy families also

A wealthy family named Wang was one of the families who were robbed by gangsters.

Although there were no casualties, the family was still so frightened that they moved away at night the next day. It was said that they were going to the capital to visit relatives, and the house was empty.

As soon as Shi Hai led his troops into the town, he fell in love with this family's house, which was both suitable for living and had a large courtyard for training troops, so he settled down.

When Jiang Chuye drove the carriage to the school captain's mansion, there was a long queue in front of the school captain's mansion. The skinny people stood in three rows silently. They all looked unkempt and dirty, and they could smell it even from a distance.

All kinds of sour odors accumulated from not taking a shower for a long time.

There were several large wooden barrels placed on the tables in front of them, and two officers and soldiers stood behind the barrels, holding large rice spoons in their hands to serve corn batter to the people waiting in line.

Next to it are rows of officers and soldiers carrying spears and spears to maintain law and order.

Jiang Chuye sent someone to inform Shi Hai, saying that they were bringing him food. When the fifteen or six-year-old soldier heard that he was bringing food, his eyes widened. Then he nodded fiercely and asked several people to come.

Wait outside the house for a moment, then run into the house.

Looking at the thin corn paste that could only guarantee that people would not starve to death, Mei Niang felt very sad. She knew that life in the town was difficult now, but seeing it with her own eyes still made her feel unbearable.

She knew that Shi Hai was a good official and he tried his best. Last year's drought was not as severe as this year's and no one gave porridge when water sources were not hard to find. Let alone this year's situation.

So what if he is just a good official? His abilities are limited.

The town is not big, but there are tens of thousands of people. Even this thin porridge consumes a lot of money every day.

And what did I do if I had this ability?

The food in the space was accumulating more and more, but she had no excuse to come up with it. Seeing that every living person was about to starve to death, it was difficult to understand this kind of pressure without being there.
