After vomiting, Chaoge felt dizzy and dark, but nothing came out.
After falling down on the ground, she hurriedly washed the area around her mouth with water and rinsed her mouth.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the water was poured on his mouth, the fake beard fell off immediately.
Chaoge was speechless. He tore off the fake beard and threw it aside.
Uh, she really didn't dare to recall the smell of the big man's palm just now, it was too damn stinky.
When I think about the possibility that the big guy is shitting...
vomit......
I can’t even think about it! When I think about her, I start vomiting again!
After sitting on the ground for an unknown amount of time, Chaoge rinsed his mouth several times and drank some stream water, and only then did he feel much better.
When she looked up at the tall city gate again, she hesitated for a moment and decided to go in and take a look.
Although he felt a little reluctant to pay a few taels of silver as the entrance fee, looking at the bustle inside the city wall, Chaoge was sure that there must be water inside.
In this case, where there is water there must be plants.
As she walked along, she found that almost all the plants were dried up and there was hardly any green. When she searched the burned ruins at the Xilin County Government Office last time, her Mo Cui Space had used up all its wood-related skills in just a few seconds.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken out the flashlight and searched for it herself.
After walking for so many days, she had collected very few wood-related skills, and she didn't dare to use them casually.
Since we have come across such a city, wouldn’t it be a waste of opportunity if we don’t go in?
Before Chaoge stood up, he bought a fake beard in the space and put it on himself, then led the donkey towards the soldiers who were collecting the city entry fee.
"One ounce of silver for entering the city, and five ounces for the donkey, a total of six ounces."
After the officer and soldier finished speaking, they simply spread out their hands, waiting for Chaoge to obediently take out the silver!
Chaoge's mouth twitched: "Brother, I am a donkey, not a horse.
I would say nothing if someone who can afford to ride a horse gives me five taels of silver, but do you think I can afford it if I ride a donkey?"
These officers and soldiers have been collecting entry fees here for many days. All the refugees who want to enter the city are fawning and flattering them.
Even if I met someone who wanted to beg for mercy, I would be so humble as to bargain with them. I have never met anyone who was as playful as the boy in front of me.
Hearing this, the official's face darkened, and he retracted his outstretched hand. He suddenly stomped the spear in his hand heavily on the ground and said, "If you can't afford the silver, don't go in. Otherwise, I'll throw you out. Who has time to talk nonsense with you!"
After saying that, the officer raised the spear in his hand and was about to stab Chaoge directly in the stomach!
Although it was just a threat and he didn't really intend to stab her, Chaoge still hurriedly dodged and smiled apologetically: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you!"
Upon hearing this, the officer put away his spear, and the gloom on his face gradually disappeared. He looked at Chaoge and raised his eyebrows: "Looking at your poor appearance, I never thought you could come up with six taels of silver.
Oh, if you had taken it out earlier, there wouldn’t be any problem, right?
You won't agree until I poke you in the face.
It's just a cheap bone!"
Chaoge lowered her eyes and gritted her teeth. She had been thinking of keeping the peace, but when she heard the three words "cheap bone", her whole soul exploded in an instant!
In her previous life, when she returned to her father's home, they all secretly called her a bitch.
From then on, this was the word she hated the most.
Chaoge pretended to rummage in her sleeves, but in fact, she had already thought about taking revenge on the official in front of her.
Even if she couldn't let him die, she would torture the dog severely.
When she signed in to the system before, she got a lot of things, including several kinds of medicine, all of which only existed in martial arts dramas and novels.
For example, knockout drugs, itching powder, corpse-dissolving water, forced laxatives, skin ulcer medicine...
At that time, Chaoge thought these things were useless, but now...
"Sir, please count it. If you can't count it, you can weigh it on the scale. I don't have five taels of silver ingots. This is all my belongings.
They are all one-cent coins, and there are a lot of them, so I’m sorry to bother you.”
In order to give this bastard a stronger drug, Chaoge directly took out a handful of silver coins from the space, collected six taels of silver, and handed it respectfully to the officer.
She has a silver ingot weighing five taels, but there is only one ingot. After they test its authenticity, they will put it in the box. It is not certain whether the medicine can work.
After taking out a pile of silver coins worth one penny, along with the itching powder and ulcer medicine, the official must have been able to feel around as much as he wanted, right?
In addition, he would select them one by one, a total of sixty, and she would apply medicine on each of them. The medicine would definitely penetrate his skin.
Seeing Chaoge's servile look, the officer took a handful of silver coins with disdain and asked the officer next to him to stretch out his hand so that he could count them one by one and then throw them into the box.
As Chaoge watched the two officials selecting people one by one, the corners of his mouth became more and more curved.
"Hmph, go in.
You are honest, so I gave you quite a bit."
Upon hearing this, Chaoge nodded and bowed, took Xiaoxue's hand and said goodbye to the official, then walked towards the open city gate.
As soon as he entered, looking at the old streets, refugees lying everywhere, and the dead air at the end of the street, Chaoge was disappointed!
Isn't it really not worth it for her to spend these six taels of silver?
No!
The two officers will be in pain for several days and nights tonight, and their hands will be festering. The silver she gave is well worth it.
But, how could such a large provincial city, equivalent to a modern provincial capital, be so desolate and dilapidated?
Dog officials, incompetent officials, corrupt officials!
This government is so corrupt, yet Canglan Dynasty is still the richest country among the Five Kingdoms! ?
Ugh!
Even the Lianzhou government is so arrogant, and those officials are so greedy and don’t care about the people at all. The Canglan Dynasty will perish sooner or later!
Chaoge silently greeted the local government in his heart and then looked around.
A street stands at your feet, winding and stretching forward for thousands of meters.
There were few two-story wooden buildings around, and the rest were all dilapidated tiled houses. Although they were made of blue bricks, Chaoge felt that they were really unsightly when paired with those old wooden boards.
Even Xilin County was not like this. She really didn't know how much the imperial government funding for Xiying Prefecture had consumed to make the facade of such a state capital so dilapidated.
On both sides of the street, there were refugees lying or sitting on the ground. In front of them was a broken bowl or a broken pottery jar, and they began to beg.
Chaoge really didn't expect that many of them had given everything they had to find the last glimmer of hope, but they didn't expect that except begging for food, the government did not make any other arrangements for them.
Especially when Chaoge thought of the refugees outside the city who were selling their children to raise money to enter the city and find a way to survive, he felt depressed to the core.
