Chapter 967 Heavy snow, food
The first snowfall in winter came quickly and quickly. Lingwu City was covered with white snow, and the solemn aura filled the world, and there was no sign of stopping for a short time.
The bitter and cold climate, even the extremely turbulent rivers, form a layer of not very thick glaciers.
This time the snowfall directly caused the most outstanding transportation system in Lingwu City to be paralyzed. The docks in various places were shut down. The merchants and scattered personnel could only wait anxiously in the place where they lived.
The impact of transportation is only one aspect. As a densely populated city, Lingwu City, which is not well-known for agriculture, also has a huge demand for food. Therefore, during heavy snow, the price of food also rose again and again, and various things that keep warm and warm are becoming extremely popular, several times the price of the past.
In the outer city of Lingwu, the slums outside the southern area, there were news that someone was frozen to death from time to time. There was no way. Although it had been a long period of peaceful times, the number of poor people was still far more than that of ordinary people. People who barely survived still accounted for a huge proportion in the entire land of China, and this proportion continued in this small Lingwu City.
In a small, spacious and neat house, the man with a burly figure, wearing a red leather hat and a warm cotton coat, was sitting on a wooden chair with a gloomy face. In front of him were two trembling and trepidated men, and there were burning hot charcoal basins next to them emitted warm heat to dispel the cold.
As the holy envoy stationed in Lingwu City, a city connected to the three prefectures, in addition to being a martial artist of excellent martial arts and an innate level, the ability to deal with problems and sensitivity to external information is also comparable to ordinary people.
The heavy snow fell for more than five days and it started very hard. Now it is still a trend of getting heavier. The saint envoy of the Pudu Sect immediately thought that due to the heavy snow, Lingwu City was blocked from the outside of the peers. The various materials purchased, especially the most critical grain, may not be escorted on time, and there will be a short-term surge in grain prices in the city.
So, he sent two of his subordinates to purchase grain at the first time, but unfortunately it was too late to start. Although the prices of each small grain store were far higher than the market, it was still purchased in a very short time.
Nowadays, only some large dealers led by Yanping County Prince's Mansion continue to release grain, which is not expensive, but strictly prohibits individuals from purchasing in large quantities, which makes Pudu Education face this great opportunity but lacks the ability to take the initiative.
If the man-made disasters caused by natural disasters, if the saint envoy of Pudu now holds a large sum of food, he will definitely bring many poor people in Lingwu City who cannot afford to eat into Pudu City in the shortest time and make great contributions.
At the moment of life and death, the human mind is the most fragile. At this time, the universal teachings appear with the teachings of universal salvation and provide free food for life. The image is no different from the living Bodhisattva in the eyes of those who are about to starve to death.
Believers will explode with a geometric growth trend. It cannot be said that the people who monopolize the entire Lingwu City will at least open up the situation in Lingwu City, making this place a very important stronghold organization for the Pudu Cult.
This is not all true belief. Most of them are for survival. If you don’t believe it, you don’t believe it, you don’t believe it, you have food, and you don’t have food. This choice doesn’t need to be thought about at all.
In similar situations, Pudu has experienced many times in recent years. It can be said that it is because of the repeated natural disasters, chaos in life and activities, and uneasiness of the people, which has led to the rapid rise and growth of Puduism.
Now, although the holy envoy's reaction was very fast, he still had no time to take action. He was blocked by the major forces in the city and restricted the purchase of food, which led to his desire to take this opportunity to win over the people into the church and still be in the womb.
As for just speaking verbally, it is not impossible. The key is that this holy envoy does not have the ability to be so scattered.
In addition to losing a chance to make meritorious contributions, many of the religious people he has developed secretly can no longer withstand it.
Think about it, people with good living conditions, safe and happy enough, how can they pay attention to the favor of such inexplicable sects?
You want to save all living beings, but I am already living a good life and you don’t need to save all living beings.
Those who are truly interested in this teaching, eat and even agree with it are the poor people who live at the bottom, lose confidence in life, and have pessimism about the outside world.
It’s good to have hunger and full meals, but the worst thing is those who can’t eat a meal for a day or two.
At this time, under the blow of this heavy snow, large-scale deaths were inevitable.
Since the death toll of this saint of Prado has been reported by the people of the saint of Prado, since the number of deaths reported by the hands of the people has exceeded thirty-five, and this number is still rising.
The main thing is to freeze to death, followed by starvation, or to directly die of illness due to wind and cold or fever.
Although most of these dead people are old, weak, or have premature illnesses, they cannot withstand such consumption.
Moreover, death is only one aspect, and the greater hidden danger lies in things other than death, such as worrying about gains and losses, and panic.
"What should I do if the holy envoy is going to do? Now the people below are almost unable to hold on, and many people are questioning the existence of the Great Pudu Buddha.
Also, I heard that those aristocratic families have begun to recruit slaves again, and some of our subordinates are also moved, and even intend to connect them together and sell them to them to seek a chance to survive."
In recent years, the Holy Envoy stayed in Lingwu City. For safety reasons, he secretly developed less than 300 believers, most of whom were from poor families, with a small number of families with good conditions, and some of them were people with good martial arts skills but no channels for promotion.
It was fine in the past, and everyone was considered a devout believer, but at such a critical moment of life and death, everyone didn't care about anything that was Buddha or Buddha.
If we can make our lives alive and fill our stomachs, it is the Buddha. If we can't live, it is a big deal.
People's desire to survive is the strongest type of instinctive desire. In order to survive, no matter how incredible the decision is, it is not uncommon.
For example, what this person said now is that everyone is joining a gang to sell themselves to those with food and power.
Selling oneself is equivalent to involuntary life and death. It is an extremely inhuman behavior. Normally, no one is willing to be a dog or a slave for others.
However, at the critical moment of life and death, the so-called freedom and dignity do not seem so difficult to abandon.
Note that we refer to ordinary people here, not those who are beyond ordinary people.
