Returning to the stone house where offerings were made, Xiao Xu found a spot and lay down without moving.
Not long after, Zhang Yi pushed open the wooden door, smiled innocently, and nodded towards the tablets: "Dear ancestors, I am sorry to bother you again."
After saying this, just like last night, he took out the incense stick, lit the bow, bowed, and then inserted it into the altar.
As he moved, Xiao Xu clearly felt that the atmosphere in the stone house became much more relaxed, no longer having the gloomy feeling he had when he first entered.
Zhang Yi sat down next to Xiao Xu and took out something wrapped in paper from his sleeve. There was a faint fragrance coming out of it.
He wiped his hands hard on his clothes, then carefully unfolded the paper.
What you see is a golden, tender and fragrant chicken. Looking at the skin, you can't help but want to take a big bite and eat it up.
“Chirp!”
Zhang Yi, you are really a brother!
Xiao Xu jumped onto the wrist of Hei You, and stared at the delicious chicken in his hand with his round little eyes without blinking.
It felt like tears were coming out of my mouth.
The man and the bird looked at each other.
Zhang Yi tore off the chicken leg with the paper and handed it to Xiao Xu. Then he opened his mouth wide and took big bites of the remaining chicken as if he had never eaten before.
Xiao Xu was not polite either. He ate slowly, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was spoiled by a little bastard. No matter where he went, there was always that person who silently did everything for him.
As I was thinking about it, the chicken leg in my mouth suddenly lost its taste.
…
The civil unrest in Huan'an City reached its peak. More and more refugees rushed into the city to rob food and property. They would take anything they wanted, including women and children.
People were in a panic, and the number of people who went to the City Lord's Mansion increased from a dozen at the beginning to one or two hundred. If the wall was not high enough and they were not afraid of the status of the City Lord's Mansion, they would have climbed over it long ago.
This group of people shouted and cursed day and night, with all kinds of words coming out of their mouths.
The city lord couldn't do anything about these barbarians. Moreover, most of them were not from the city. No one knew where they came from, and they would become more and more greedy if they were given some benefits.
Now the water and food in Huan'an City are not enough for the people in the city to eat for five days. If we give them to these barren people, we may regain their respect, but what about the people in Huan'an City?
In a state of panic, he paced back and forth in the hall.
Liu Mo's expression was not much better. He rubbed his brows and finally said, "City Lord, if all else fails, drive the barbarians out of the city."
His words were agreed by many people. The city lord sighed deeply, as he had naturally had the same idea.
But the people inside the city are human beings, but those outside the city are not human beings?
Besides, doing so would only make things worse.
"This is not a long-term solution. Wait a little longer..."
Originally, if they had followed Shen Yanjin's decision, they could have delayed it for another ten days. Unexpectedly, his subordinates were so eager to kick him out of the position of city lord.
She glanced at the taciturn man in black, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth where no one else could see.
"Liu Xunmo, do you agree with what Master Liu Mo said?"
The black-clothed man's brow darkened, his stiff face curved into an arc, and he said in a voice neither too high nor too low: "I cannot make the final decision on this matter."
Yo… why did the quarrelsome attitude suddenly change?
Everyone in the hall was whispering, and most of them were sneering and mocking.
Liu Xunmo clenched his hands slightly under his sleeves and slowly lowered his head.
"Alright, just tell us what you have decided. Why are you arguing?"
