Chapter 119 Follow Me and You Will Have Food to Eat

The yard suddenly became quiet.

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.

Chen said calmly: "My family doesn't have enough food, so how can we borrow more?"

Shanzi's mother hurriedly said: "I said it wrong, it's not borrowing, it's buying."

"According to the current price of grain, it's ten times the price. Sell me some, otherwise Shanzi and I will have nothing to eat."

Shanzi's mother first said to borrow, but in fact she was planning to buy grain in Huainan County or Donghai County and then pay it back. The grain price there would not be ten times that of previous years.

But Chen was unwilling to lend, so Shanzi's mother made a quick decision and bought it!

Chen hesitated for a moment and looked at Gu Zhang.

His family still had some coarse grains that they had bought before, but they didn't eat much, so there was still a lot left.

Gu Zhang nodded slightly.

Chen said, "Then I'll give you two liters, no more."

"Don't talk about ten times the price. When Dalang bought it, it was only five times the price. Just give it at this price."

Shanzi's mother was delighted, "Thank you very much."

Chen took out the liter, measured two liters of millet for Shanzi's mother, took the money, and continued to cook.

Qian's eyes rolled around, and just as she was about to say something to Gu Zhong, she heard Uncle Ma say, "If any family doesn't have enough food, they can go to the city in two days and buy it then."

Uncle Ma was kind-hearted, but he was afraid that every household would come to Chen to buy food at five times the price.

After all, the price of food outside had risen tenfold.

Gu Zhong's family was running out of food, and Qian was reluctant to buy it, but she was afraid that Chen would not lend it to her, so she was in a dilemma.

After thinking about it, she decided to forget it. If she didn't buy it, she didn't believe that Gu Lao Er would watch his eldest brother starve to death.

Even if he could, others would blame him!

As expected, they arrived at Xincheng two days later.

There were still many disaster victims outside the city gate.

The court had already started disaster relief.

The court would distribute porridge outside the city gate every day, and the disaster victims would naturally stay there with this bite of food.

Gu Zhang's injury had long been healed, and he followed the village chief to inquire about the news.

Gu Fei was looking around, and suddenly a man came over, looked Gu Fei up and down, then looked at Lan Zhi, and then looked at Lian Er behind Gu Fei, "Little girls, do you want to have a full meal?"

"Come with me, there is food to eat!"

Gu Fei rolled her eyes, this is a human trafficker.

Lian'er stepped forward, "Let's go, we don't lack food."

The traffickers were reluctant to leave when they saw the three pretty girls, and they kept persuading them, "Little girls, I'm an honest man, I won't lie to you, just follow me and I'll feed you."

Gu Fei saw that he was always pestering her, so she bulged her eyes, raised her fist, and threatened, "Go away, I'll beat you if you don't leave."

Su Chen sat next to her and laughed softly. The girl looked cute with her bulged eyes. She was obviously a master who dared to chop people and kill wolves with a long knife, but when she put down the knife, she was just a silly little girl.

He didn't know why, but he always paid attention to this little girl unconsciously. Maybe it was curiosity at first, but later he could always find something different in her.

Not only was she different from other girls, she seemed to have many different faces.

Zhang Ze glanced at his master from the side and felt that his master paid too much attention to this little girl.

However, this was not his business.
