Chapter 43 The Artist
It was not until the evening that the south gate where Lu Chuan was located received a new order from the city lord's palace to gather all the people in need of relief and send them to the central square in batches.
The City Lord's Mansion will distribute a small amount of money and a meal to those who need relief, then register everyone's detailed information, and then arrange some work within their ability based on each person's situation to provide relief through work.
A small number of strong men were incorporated into the city guard, and some people who knew how to work were assigned to serve as servants in various positions in the city. There were still many people who didn't know how to arrange them, and they were all organized in one go.
Arrange to go to the mine to mine Yuan Stone.
Lu Chuan understands the principle of "I would rather be a peace dog than a man in troubled times". When the war breaks out, people are like ants and their lives are like grass. It is better for displaced people to be sent to the mines than to lose their lives.
But he still felt very uncomfortable. He thought of the little girl who secretly gave the other party a Wu Guo coin at noon. If her mother was arranged to be a servant, how would she live in Beining City?
But he can't control these things. He himself is still in Beining City and can't help himself. Who has the right to worry about these things?
The sky was getting darker, the movement in Zhenbeiguan ended very early today, and there were fewer and fewer people entering the city at the south gate. Lu Chuan thought that today should be another smooth day.
After dark, a fire in the southwest became particularly eye-catching. Lu Chuan and Wu Ziyi both guessed that there was a battle going on there. It might be that the patrol team encountered the enemy, or it might be that the Jingguo people were looting.
But captain Qian Fu strictly ordered them not to act rashly, let alone leave Beining City.
The military order they received was to guard the south gate.
...
Paid defecation is a basic skill for every wage earner. After a few days of being honest, Lu Chuan became a veteran and picked up some of his old skills.
When he was about to get off work, Lu Chuan lied that he had a stomachache and applied to Qian Fu to get off work early. As soon as he walked out of everyone's sight, clutching his stomach, he drove the Fengdun towards the north gate.
Several days have passed since the bell of Beining rang, and many people from outside the city poured into Beining City. Lu Chuan found that many shops along the road had chosen to reopen, but the prices were much higher than before.
Lu Chuan came to the college early to pick up Jiang Mo today, which surprised the little girl. On the way home, Jiang Mo saw a pastry shop reopened, and excitedly took Lu Chuan in. After looking at the price, he left with a look of disgust.
"That's too much. A piece of mung bean cake sells for 10 copper coins. Is their mung bean cake made of grass jelly?"
After Jiang Mo left the pastry shop, she was still complaining about the price. After the pastry shop closed for a few days, it doubled the price of the goods.
Lu Chuan now earns only yuan stones and sells Wu Guo coins. He really has no idea about the copper coins used by ordinary people. He just told Jiang Mo that he would buy them if he likes them.
While walking, Lu Chuan suddenly stopped and stopped Jiang Mo behind him with one hand.
There was a thin man standing in front of the courtyard, raising his head and looking at the door number of "Haoqi Sect". His hair was a bit long and tied back casually, like an "artist" seen on TV in his previous life.
It was already very dark, and only the side of the man's face could be seen through the lantern at the entrance of the courtyard. The man noticed that Lu Chuan and the others were back, so he turned his head.
Then Lu Chuan saw a pair of eyes that were so bright that they stabbed towards Lu Chuan like a sword.
"Uncle Yu!" Jiang Mo shouted excitedly.
The "artist"'s sharp-sword eyes softened, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Mo, and said with some annoyance:
"Momo, the last time I saw Uncle Yu, I rushed to him to hug him. We haven't seen you for a few years, and he is already a big girl."
...
Jiang Mo was busy serving tea and cakes. It could be seen that Jiang Mo was really happy and was very familiar with Uncle Yu.
But Lu Chuan sat obediently, not daring to express his anger. He just secretly closed his eyes and took a look. Damn it, extraordinary.
What's going on in this broken world? Isn't the extraordinary the ceiling of combat power in this world? Why did an extraordinary boss just leave and another one comes?
The extraordinary boss, whose surname is Yu, has eyes like swords, and the identity of the other party is ready to be revealed. He is the boss of Utopia, Lao Jiang's good friend, and Yu Huan can cut through the galaxy with a sword.
"I just came from Zhenbeiguan. Qianqian and Xiao Huo are both fine, and your idiot father is not dead either." Yu Huan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I stopped by to see if you are at home.
Crying."
"I'm almost fifteen years old, so I won't cry." Jiang Mo said with a smile and added more tea to Yu Huan's cup.
Hearing Jiang Mo say that he was fifteen years old, Yu Huan's hand that had been holding the sword almost trembled, and then continued chatting with Jiang Mo as if nothing had happened.
Yu Huan's identity in Jiang Mo's eyes is that of a wandering ranger named Yu Xi. She is her father Jiang Tao's love rival and has always liked Li Qian.
He is very familiar with Lao Jiang's family. They used to meet several times every year. Even Huo Changge's path to sword cultivation was influenced by him. It's just that I don't know where he has been in the past few years, and he has not appeared in Wu Kingdom.
.
This time he came to Beining City and happened to pass by. He heard that Lao Jiang was fighting in Zhenbeiguan, so he took a look, and then stopped by to see Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo introduced Lu Chuan to Yu Huan, but Yu Huan showed no interest in Lu Chuan and just nodded coldly.
Yu Huan told Jiang Mo many stories about the outside world, but the ones they told the most were those related to Utopia.
For example, Utopia is planning to build a city that flies in the sky. Ordinary people in Utopia can also enter colleges and universities. Women in Utopia can also become important officials of the country, etc.
Many things in Utopia are different from those in Wu Kingdom, and Jiang Mo listened with great interest.
After chatting for a while, it got very late, so Jiang Mo took the initiative to invite Yu Huan to stay, and got up to clean up the guest room.
As soon as Jiang Mo left, Yu Huan's eyes became sharp, and a terrifying aura locked onto Lu Chuan, like a tiger that chose people to devour.
"Why is there a rice cooker in the kitchen? Did you reveal your identity in front of Momo?"
"You should ask Lao Jiang and the others. Momo has discovered their identities a long time ago. And Momo is very smart. Maybe she even knows your identity, but she just doesn't want to expose you."
After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he felt relieved. Damn it, this boss is so unfriendly.
Yu Huan fell into thinking. If Jiang Mo had figured out his identity a long time ago, she had just listened to him telling her the story of Utopia with relish...
The boss didn't say anything, and Lu Chuan didn't dare to say anything. This boss didn't seem to have a good temper, and I heard that Zhao Wuya was no match for him. If he provoked him, he would really beat himself up, and Zhang Sanwen didn't even bother with Minister Zhang.
Know if you can protect yourself.
"The organization arranged for me to wait at Zhenbeiguan. If things go wrong, I will take action to recruit people. As a result, that kid from Wu Qing turned out to be extraordinary. In this case, Wu Guo will not be able to lose for a while. I will come here to see Momo first.
By the way, let’s take a look at this newcomer like you.”
