Chapter 5: The strange situation in the town

Shen Yuyu picked up a basket of loquats not far away and followed Shen Ming and Shen Yun down the mountain.

Shen Ming also looked at the road and thought about going up the mountain to pick all the loquats and sell them in the town together with the game tomorrow.

Shen Yuyu was walking when she suddenly heard movement from behind a bush. She quickly stopped and signaled Shen Ming and Shen Yun to stop.

"Shh~"

She walked lightly towards a bush on the left for a few steps, but before she could walk over, two pheasants behind the bush heard the noise and flapped their wings to run away.

In desperation, Shen Yuhu threw out a few loquat fruits in his hand and hit two pheasants in the middle. The pheasants wandered in place for a few times and then fell to the ground with a 'bang'.

She happily ran over and picked up the wings of the two pheasants, but she was excited in her heart. The strength of the original owner was indeed not strong enough, so she used a little strength and knocked the pheasants unconscious.

If a pheasant could talk, he would definitely accuse Shen Yuyu: Do you dare to take us for a checkup? We must have a concussion!!!

But now they can only feel dizzy as Shen Yugu strangles the wings of their fate.

The original person has been unusually strong since she was a child. When she was a child, she played with the little girls in the village and accidentally injured them a few times. After that, no one dared to play with her. That's why she was so convinced of the truth when she met Lin Chunyan who was still willing to play with her. treat.

Lin Chunyan kept transmitting to her, "You are a weird child because you are so strong. No one wants to play with you except me, and I don't despise you..." This kind of concept, if the Shen family didn't love the original owner so much, she would probably He will become a person with low self-esteem.

Moreover, Lin Chunyan still killed the original owner in the end, but she is not in an easy situation now.

Thinking of Lin Chunyan, Shen Yuyu also remembered that when she used her mental power to attack Li Chunyan yesterday, she only lasted two sentences.

It's really like going back to before liberation. She should come to the mountain a few more times to practice her powers.

After all, her superpower is the ability to make sneak attacks without anyone noticing.

The three of them returned the same way they came, and finally returned to Shen's courtyard after walking for two quarters of an hour.

As soon as Shen Yun entered the yard, he mysteriously closed the door. People who were busy with other things in the yard asked with puzzled faces: "What's wrong? Why are the doors closed in broad daylight?"

Chen Yun explained in a low voice: "Girl, I dug something good in the mountain, don't let anyone see it."

When everyone in the Shen family heard about the good stuff, they immediately gathered around it. Shen Yue smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand to Shen Yun and said, "Take it out."

Shen Yun took out a large piece of stuff wrapped in a cloth from his pocket. When he opened it, everyone in the Shen family was shocked.

Ginseng! Still three ginseng!!

Shen Yuyu explained that he was lucky enough to dig it on the mountain, and received a lot of praise from the Shen family.

"Our girl is lucky. If she hadn't followed her up the mountain, you wouldn't have been able to catch so many things." Old Mrs. Shen looked at the things the three brought back. She was obviously smiling so much that she couldn't even see them, but she insisted on damaging them. Brothers Ming and Shen Yun had a meal.

The two brothers didn't show any dissatisfaction. Normally, Old Mrs. Shen liked Shen Yue. When she praised her, she would always insult the men in the family. They were all used to it.

When everyone was curious enough, Mrs. Shen gave the three ginseng to Shen Yuyu and asked her to keep them.

Shen Ming and Shen Yun also went up the mountain to pick loquats with their baskets on their backs.

Early on the next morning, Shen Yue got up early to help Mrs. Song prepare breakfast.

Although the Shen family has Shen Rong, who is a wife in the town, and can make a lot of income every month, the Shen family has a lot of money, and they say that a young man has to live in poverty, so the family is a little tight.

Therefore, meals can only fill the stomach, and it is impossible to eat as well as you want.

After breakfast, the Shen family headed to town left.

Shen Rong, Shen Dalang and Shen Erlang went to the school in the town, while Shen Yue, Shen Ming and Shen Yun went to the town to sell what they had harvested yesterday.

The six people each took some of their things and hurried to the town. A few of them walked quickly and arrived at Xing'an Town in less than half an hour.

Xing'an Town is located on the fiefdom of King Changding, and King Changding is the third son of the emperor. He is already thirty years old. He was born to a maid in the palace by the emperor. The third prince does not have the power of his mother's family, and he is not favored.

However, King Changding had a very good reputation in the fiefdom, and the people believed in whoever could bring them a good life, so King Changding was still supported by the people here.

However, in the 28th year of Shunde, the most affected area was the fiefdom of King Changding. Severe drought, locust plague, earthquake...

Shen Yuyu felt a little sad.

In Xing'an Town, the sky is dawning and people are already coming and going in the town.

Shen Yuyu took half a basket of loquats and the three ginseng to the medical shop to sell them, while the rest of the group took their prey and the remaining loquats to the restaurant to find the seller.

There was constant hawking along the way, and Shen Yuyu found many beggars in the corner. She frowned, secretly feeling that this was unusual, why were there so many beggars in this town.

Shen Yuyu went to the medical clinic. Because she had three good-quality ginseng pills in her hand, the medicine boy who attended the clinic quickly called the shopkeeper of the medical clinic.

The shopkeeper took a look at the ginseng and tried to lower the price, but Shen Yuyu didn't let him get what he wanted. After some bargaining, he settled on the large ginseng at 400 taels of silver and the two smaller ginseng at 200 taels each. The price is fifty taels of silver each.

Even the Loquat Medical Clinic bought it together. The shopkeeper just got three good-quality ginseng and was very happy, so he also gave the loquat a good price of twenty-five Wen per catty.

After the business was settled, the medicine boy brought a scale and measured the weight of the loquats.

Shen Yuyu also took advantage of the opportunity when the medicine boy went to get the money to ask the shopkeeper for information: "Old sir, why do I see so many beggars in our town? Is this the same in the past?"

When the shopkeeper heard Shen Yuyu's question, he couldn't help but look out with a hint of sadness: "There used to be so many beggars. It's not all caused by this natural disaster. It hasn't rained for so long. People in many places can't live. They will crowd in on us when they get down, but the town is full of workers and they have no work to do and can only make a living by begging, hey."

"Thank you, old sir, for informing me." Shen Yue also replied with a frown.

After putting away the money, Shen Yuyu quickly went to find Shen Ming and Shen Yun.

On the way to find Shen Ming and Shen Yun, Shen Yuyu used three coins to ask the beggars on the roadside about the situation outside Xing'an Town. The more he heard, the more shocked he became. How could this be so serious now? According to The plot in the book shouldn't be about two months away... maybe there's a deviation!

It seemed that she needed to hurry up and find a way to persuade her family members to stock up on food, otherwise the famine would start as soon as they talked about it, and they would not have time to react.

Shen Yuyu found Shen Ming and Shen Yun. They had already sold out all the things they had brought, and each of them was carrying an empty backpack.

The two of them also saw Shen Yuyu, who looked a bit uncomfortable, but seeing that she didn't want to talk, they didn't ask any more questions.

After the three of them bought some things, Shen Yuyu hurried home with them.
