Father Li felt embarrassed to be treated like this, and he wanted to turn around and leave. However, Father Li still felt very sorry for the silver ingot he had given to the woman before.

Finally, Father Li followed the old woman's instructions, took the medicine bag and the bag of maltose, opened the straw curtain, and walked in.

The room inside the straw curtain was only square in size, with only a low couch inside and not even a window. The only light source was the area at the door where the straw curtain was hung.

Therefore, after walking two steps inside, Father Li could see clearly that there was a little girl with a red face lying on the bed.

Yes, there was a young girl lying there with disheveled hair and wearing only a thin long gown.

No matter how much of a beast Li's father was, he lost interest in having fun when he saw the girl, who looked seriously ill and about the same age as his own daughter.

He walked forward and took a closer look at the girl named Yingniang. She was lying weakly on the bed. Hearing the sound of Li's father approaching, Yingniang suddenly opened her eyes. She glanced at Li's father, without saying a word or responding, but reached out with a numb look to untie the belt of her clothes.

Father Li was startled and ran out. He ran to the yard and angrily asked the old woman on the recliner, "Hey, the woman in the room looks so sick that she is about to die. How can she receive guests?
My dear, I also spent money, please change it for me!"

The old woman was too lazy to pay attention to Li's father. She just raised her eyelids to look at Li's father and then closed her eyes again. While fanning herself with a cattail leaf fan, the old woman slowly replied to Li's father's words: "If you don't like Ying Niang, then just go away.

We offer a girl of the same price here, if you have money, just take it out and go find Mei Niang."

Father Li certainly had some money on him, but no matter how rich he was, he didn't have fifty taels of silver.

So, Father Li angrily shouted at the old woman: "Then return the money to me. I will leave after you return the money!"

But once the money has gone into someone else's pocket, how can they take it out and return it to you?

The old woman still closed her eyes, "My dear, you are joking. We are taking you to find Ying Niang. He doesn't want to go, so there is nothing we can do.

If you continue to pester me, since we are in this business, we are not easy to mess with. "

At this point, the old woman tapped the armrests of the recliner twice with her fan, and Father Li saw two burly men in vests coming out from nowhere, and the two men just stared at Father Li intently.

Father Li was naturally scared. He stomped his feet hard and walked towards the gate of the courtyard with the medicine bag and maltose.

But as soon as he reached the door, he stopped again.

The servant who had been waiting to lead the way looked up at Father Li with some confusion. Father Li had a face full of reluctance, as he really felt sorry for the silver.

After some inner struggle, Father Li turned his head back.

Carrying the medicine bag and maltose, he once again stepped into the house with a straw curtain as a door.

Father Li is still a beast after all.

Mr. Li was not very good, so it was soon over.

After finishing the job, Li's father was cleaning up. When he saw the bloodstains on Yingniang's body, he felt a little bit sorry for her.

Father Li tidied his clothes, took out two candies from the bag of maltose and placed them next to Yingniang's pillow.

After Father Li packed himself up and was led out of the door by the servant, carrying the medicine bag and maltose, he strolled around the street casually, and finally bought two meat buns to eat before going to the dead end.

Li Shiyue and his family had already quickly gone to the pharmacy to buy some commonly used medicines, such as those for treating colds, diarrhea, fever, etc. Li Shiyue bought some according to the number of people in his family.

After buying things, Li Shiyue and Li Wangshui were waiting outside a bookstore. Li Shiyang said he wanted to go to the bookstore to see if there was any useful information.

After waiting for a while, Li Shiyang walked out of the bookstore with a frown and a serious expression.

Li Shiyue and Li Wangshui quickly stood up from the wall and went to meet him. "It's getting late, let's go back."

There were not many people on the street at this time, and this was not a place to talk. Li Shiyue shook the backpack on his back, and then he and Li Wangshui followed Li Shiyang to the dead end.

Because the price of salt had risen too high, the money that each family in Lijia Village contributed could not buy much salt. Li Wangshui could carry all the salt by himself.

Li Shiyue's backpack contained only salt, some medicine bags and his own axe. It was getting dark, and he arrived under the jujube tree outside the city at 15 minutes before noon.

As soon as they walked over, Ma Zi, Mole Zi and others who had been waiting not far away popped their heads out from the weeds.

"Scholar, how is it?"

"Nephew Shiyang, is everything okay in the city? Did you buy any salt?"

Li Wangshui took out the bag of salt on his back and showed it to everyone as instructed by Li Shiyang. When everyone saw that they had bought the salt they needed most, they felt relieved and started chattering about the three people's situation in the city.

".There is no chaos in the city?

So, shall we go?
Otherwise, we can just stay here."

"No!"

Li Shiyang ignored the man's expression and directly rejected his proposal to stay in the city.

"Not to mention that none of our village's registered permanent residence is here, many of our people have fled due to military service;
Even if we can stay, how can we survive?

Not to mention, you have all seen the refugees outside the city.

Not only can we not stay in the city now, we also have to leave as fast as possible!

The city will surely be in chaos!"

Everyone still believed what Li Shiyang said.

After all, they had seen it all along the way as they fled from the famine. If Li Shiyang hadn't led them, they would have either been captured by soldiers and forced to serve in the military, or would have died of thirst in the barren fields.

Not to mention, the destruction of the entire village of Yujiatuan and the two disasters they encountered on the road all showed that a chaotic era was about to begin.

While everyone was talking, Li Shiyue was holding a hatchet and looking anxiously in the direction they were coming from.

Because Mr. Li hasn’t come back yet!

Li Shiyue was not worried about the safety of Li's father, but Li's father knew everything about the people in their Lijia Village. If Li's father was caught, there would be no need for severe torture, just two slaps in the face and Li's father would definitely tell everything he knew.

"October?"

Li Xiatian was carrying a bag of salt she had bought herself, and she looked at Li Shiyue with some concern.

"Sister, go back with them first. I'll go see why my dad hasn't come back yet."

"No, don't go alone, I'll go with you."

As a result, when the two sisters were about to say something to Li Shiyang, they heard the sound of Li's father calling from behind.

"Hurry up, let's go! When I came out, I passed by the main gate and saw from afar that the people on the city gate were firing rockets!"

　　Note it down first, and I’ll update it later!

　　Also, I just discovered today that the title of the first chapter has been changed to "Midnight".

　　The original title I wrote was "Midnight Sex".

　　No, why are the starting points getting stricter and stricter? I don’t think my writing can be considered half-hearted.
