Chapter 137: Food over life

Liu Wu smiled awkwardly: "Oh, how is that possible?"

"Why would I do such a thing?"

"I just wanted to send him back out of kindness."

Yuan Baobao blinked her eyes. She saw the greed in Liu Wu's eyes.

Looking at the unconscious man on the ground, could it be that Liu Wu wanted to...

[I didn't expect it to be so serious? ]

[People who haven't died on the street are being taken back to eat? ]

[Hey, they used to be neighbors. ]

[In front of death, it seems that even the king of heaven has to stand back. ]

Prince Yi's face changed, and he looked at Liu Wu again. The way he looked at the man on the ground was indeed wrong.

"Liu Wu, he's not dead yet?"

Seeing Liu Wu was about to go over and pick up the man, a strong man blocked his way.

"Liu Mazi, don't meddle in other people's business."

Liu Wu said fiercely, holding the man and was about to leave.

"Stop."

King Yi snorted coldly, and two secret guards came over, trying to grab the man.

Liu Wu dodged, and the secret guard had no choice but to stretch out his foot and kick Liu Wu hard.

Liu Wu failed to dodge, and flew backwards, but he held the man tightly in his hand.

[He really wants money but not his life.]

[He wants food but not his life.]

Yuan Baobao was stunned. Is this man willing to give up his life for a bite of food?

The secret guard stepped forward and patted Liu Wu's hand. Liu Wu only felt his arm numb, and the man was already in the hands of the secret guard.

"Master, the man is still alive."

Liu Wu was kicked to the ground, screaming in pain.

"Eat... people?"

Prince Yi raised his eyebrows, his face cold.

"I... I didn't, I just wanted to send him home."

Liu Wu struggled to get up, but unfortunately he was no match for the dark guard. After struggling for a long time, he couldn't even get up.

"Hehe..." Prince Yi sneered:

"Ask nicely."

The dark guard bent down, raised his feet, pulled the man up, and had a friendly conversation with his stomach.

"Ah..."

Liu Wu was beaten and screamed, and the onlookers were also stunned.

They didn't expect that this strange man was really beating him.

But Liu Wu gritted his teeth and never admitted that he carried the man back to eat.

The common people were secretly shocked, and even the staff of the nearby granary poked their heads out and looked over here curiously.

"Is there still food in this granary?" Prince Yi's eyes were grim, he had not expected the situation here to be so serious.

"There are a lot of food in there, but it's not for us."

An old man sighed, "We haven't had a full meal for a long time. Now it's hard to even get a little food, let alone a full meal."

"This grain store is the only one in our county, but it's opened by the county lord. The current price..." The

old man sighed, and another middle-aged man said, "In the past, three cents could buy a pound of food, but now one or two taels of silver can't buy less than a pound."

The middle-aged man is now skinny. There is no way, the disaster here has not been resolved.

"Where can we ordinary people get money?"

the middle-aged man said bitterly. In the past, they had saved up a little bit of silver with great difficulty, but now they can't even buy a pound of food.

The key is who still has the silver?

Yuan Baobao looked at their faces and felt very sad.

The disaster here has been going on for a long time, and there has been no report from the higher-ups.

It is estimated that these corrupt officials want to take advantage of this opportunity to make another profit.

[They are actually very pitiful. If there is a bite to eat, who would be willing to eat people? ]

[But this man is really too much. Hey, the person is not dead yet, but he wants to eat him. Isn't he afraid of having nightmares at night? 】

The little girl was very confused. She looked towards the grain store not far away. Seeing the waiter standing at the door with his shoulders crossed and watching the excitement, the little girl glared at them fiercely.

【I don’t know how much grain is inside? 】

【How about letting Dad be a knight who robs the rich and gives to the poor? 】

The corners of Prince Yi’s mouth twitched fiercely. Although he brought a lot of grain, but...

being a knight? Robbing corrupt officials for food?

It sounds very exciting.

"Is the grain so expensive now?"

Prince Yi raised the corners of his lips: "I want to see what the difference is with this sky-high grain."

When the people around heard this, they all stood up.

They also wanted to go in and take a look, but when they saw the yamen runners at the door of the grain store, they stopped.

The yamen runners put their hands on the sabers at their waists, and it was obvious that they were not easy to talk to.

"Brother, you'd better not go. Have you seen those people?"

The old man pointed at the yamen runners and sighed:

"They are all from the county yamen. If someone goes there to make trouble, the sabers on their waists can really kill people."

Prince Yi glanced at those people and sneered:

"I just went there to buy food. Today I will take you to buy some cheap food."

Hiss, everyone's eyes lit up again when they heard this.

Cheap...

They almost forgot how long it had been since they bought cheap food.

Those yamen runners looked difficult to talk to, but the man in front of them...

Obviously, the clothes he wore were not luxurious, and he didn't speak with a bad temper, but why did they want to surrender when they saw him?

"Follow me if you have the guts."

Prince Yi, still holding Yuan Baobao, strode towards the nearby grain store.

The onlookers hesitated for a few seconds, but no one dared to move.

[Oh, he is indeed my father, so domineering.]

[Hmph, what county magistrate, it is your misfortune to meet my father.]

[I am looking forward to my father slapping the county magistrate in the face.]

[First, knock down these yamen runners, unscrupulous waiters, and shopkeepers.]

"Fellow villagers, wait here, I will follow and take a look."

The old man took a step forward, and the middle-aged man grabbed his arm:

"Grandpa Xu, are you not afraid of death?"

"Those big knives can kill people."

The bloody scene from the past few days was still vivid in my mind, and there were dried bloodstains on the ground?

"Scared."

The old man looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly. It was another sunny day. God really didn't want ordinary people like them to live. I don't know when it will rain.

"But if it continues, my old bones won't live for a few days. It's better to follow them and see. Maybe we can find a way to survive soon."

Everyone was stunned, and several men's eyes turned red.

They are young and have plenty of strength, but what's the use of having strength now?

There is still no food to eat.

"I'll go too."

"I'll go too. I'll go and try it."

"Yes, I'll go too. If a fight really breaks out, I can still help hold someone."

With the old man leading the way, there were actually 10 to 20 people who followed.

Even Liu Wu, who was beaten just now, followed at the back with his head down.

He was so hungry, and there were people waiting for dinner at home.
