Salt Xiao Fulang

The flames of war spread silently, and panic burned like a prairie fire from an unknown small town.

The disaster is unfolding naked in front of people's eyes.

As time went by, the rain refused to fall, and large areas of the fields were barren.Hunger, finally brings death.

Once the fig leaf is set ablaze, it can no longer be extinguished. A large number of victims of the disaster began to move to the cities and towns, and the governments in various places are facing heavy pressure.

The opposite of the famine is the imminence of the northern nomads.

General Han Xiao arrived at Heping Pass and brought strong soldiers and horses, but failed to stop the alien invasion.On the second day when the famine broke out, the Peace Pass was breached.

"The grain store in Yongcheng has run out of grain, and I heard that there is government porridge at the resettlement site outside the city gate. But it's too messy over there, and I dare not go any closer."

Yuan Shan went outside for a while, and when he came back, his face was serious.

Song Xu and Mo Shi'an looked at each other.

"Fortunately, we also collected the food at the beginning."

When Mo Shi'an came to the north, the first thing he did was to ask about the grain purchase situation here.Fortunately, the person in charge of each base is not an idiot, and they insisted on purchasing a large amount of grain despite the high price when they could not contact the high-level.

Song Xu also played a big role in it.

He ran to Jiucheng before, took care of all the links, and sent a letter to Mo Shi'an by the way.By the time Mo Shi'an was sent by Shi Jinyun, the wave of acquisitions had almost passed.

A few days ago, before the famine completely broke out, several parties finalized the amount of food for disaster prevention in each city.If it weren't for the sudden riot, this batch of food on the road would have already arrived in Jiucheng.

But now, they dare not take the risk to continue shipping.And the gates of the city were closed tightly, so it was hard to get any news out.

Song Xu and his family have a well. Although the water level has dropped recently, it is no problem for their family to eat and drink.In order to hide their eyes and ears, they have had to keep their doors closed.

It was at this time that the news of the breach of the Peace Pass came—the chaos in Yongcheng City also began.

Xiaochun was worried, and climbed up to the top of the wall to look outside, for fear of seeing a group of alien races with eyes like copper bells and mouths like blood basins riding horses to set fire.

Song Xu had no choice but to yell at him from below: "Foreigners really don't look like that!"

In fact, Yongcheng is still more than 30 miles away from Hepingguan, and the barbarian cavalry are not so brave.

It is true that General Han was injured and retreated. Before those barbarian vanguards had time to continue their efforts, they were beaten back again.

Song Xu was also a little flustered, but in order to relieve everyone's anxiety, he simply moved the bored Chang Mi to the stone table in the small courtyard and taught him arithmetic.

Chang Mi was very happy, just after reading the multiplication table with Song Xu for a while, he attracted four more adults one after another.

Mo Shi'an had never heard of this kind of formula before, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it very subtle.

Song Xu simply got a large stone slab, drew Arabic numerals with charcoal sticks, and played a guest role as a preschool teacher in elementary school.

In the small courtyard, the sound of writing began inexplicably, and all kinds of voices followed "three 55, four five twenty...".

Chang Mi is really sensitive to numbers, so he took the lead in memorizing the formula.He often plays outside with Zhuzi recently, and the two have established a preliminary friendship between children.He couldn't go out today, and he always felt a little itchy, so he couldn't help asking Song Xu, "Father, why can't we go out?"

"Because people outside can't buy rice and noodles, they are about to starve to death, and they may do bad things."

"Why can't they buy rice noodles?"

"Because rice noodles are monopolized by big businessmen, if you wait, you can sell them at a higher price."

"What is a monopoly?"

Song Xu clapped his hands and resolutely gave up the position of teacher to Mo Shi'an.

"I'm asking you, Teacher Mo!"

Mo Shi'an was a little uncomfortable being watched by Chang Mi's bright eyes.

The main reason is that the eldest son adopted by a friend who appeared out of nowhere is really a small ball, and he feels like he can be crushed by stretching out his hand...

"For one thing, if there is more output and less demand, it will be cheap. On the contrary, if there is less output and more demand, it will be expensive. It is the same when it comes to food. Now there is almost no new food output, but everyone wants it. There is a huge demand for food. At this time, the grain in the hands of merchants can be sold as expensive as they want."

Chang Mi still couldn't understand the relationship between supply and demand, and tilted his head: "Is it already very expensive?"

"Correct."

"Then why aren't they selling it?"

"...Because it can be more expensive."

Some businessmen are greedy by nature.

Chang Mi's words went straight to the core of the problem.Mo Shi'an didn't know how to tell him about the evil of human nature, so he heard him ask again.

"But, isn't someone going to starve to death?"

Huitong Commercial Bank does not make disaster fortunes, but there are many people who do it.

Even a four-year-old child understands the truth, but some adults who have no bottom line ignore it.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, Song Xu walked outside, and brought back a person after a while.

"Brother Zhuzi!"

Chang Mi immediately forgot the previous thinking, jumped off the stool and rushed towards the little friend happily: "Why are you here!"

Song Xu signaled Xiaochun and Mo Shi'an to take the children to play, and he and Yuan Shan went outside to help move things.

The people who came were the proprietress's family of the steamed bun stall.

"Thank you, Master Song! We really have nothing to do, we will definitely repay you!"

It turned out that although the victims had not yet entered the city, the fact that the grain store did not sell grain still caused panic among the people of Yongcheng. Since yesterday, there have been frequent news of grain theft from a certain store.

People who do food business are the first to suffer.

Because most of them, in order to do business, have a lot of food in their homes, and these have become sweet pastry in the eyes of thieves and robbers.

The boss's wife's house is no exception.Their family sells steamed buns and has two large carts of flour.But because I am not rich, the place I live in is dilapidated and unsafe, and I always feel that someone is watching from the dark.

Later, when I heard Zhuzi talk about Chang Mi's family, the proprietress asked Song Xu with a mentality of giving it a try.

They originally planned that if Boss Song refused to collect it for them, they would take the flour and go to her uncle's house who was in charge of the house. Although they would have to pay more food for the right to stay overnight, it was better than being snatched away by others.

But Song Xu spoke better than they imagined.

The lady proprietress stepped into the yard cautiously, she just felt that it was fresh and elegant, and there was nothing wrong with it. Although the sparrow was small, it had all internal organs.

"Your home is so beautifully arranged." She praised sincerely.

"Really? I think so too." Song Xu was proud.

Although it is a rented yard, the layout has already been determined, but since Song Xu moved in, he has made a lot of arrangements.

From a bottle to a teacup, to the color of the curtain and the position of the tables and chairs, he has carefully moved them.

Xiaochun and the others lived here every day, so they didn't feel much. When Mo Shi'an first came here, he praised the cleanliness and elegance of this place, but he didn't take it seriously.

But now, an ordinary outsider suddenly praised the beauty of the courtyard, his eyes were full of sincerity, but Song Xu suddenly realized something.

The timing was wrong, he didn't think about it, and together with Yuan Shan, he put dozens of bags of flour into the woodshed, and sent the proprietress's family away.

Instead, he kept the pillar—Chang Mi wanted to play with him.

After another two days, there was no sudden appearance of burning, killing and looting by foreigners, and the people finally calmed down a bit.News came from outside the pass—General Jiang, who was originally stationed at Heping Pass, held the line of defense, but General Han was seriously injured and returned to Yongcheng to recuperate.

With the rumors coming together, the image of Little General Han suddenly became unpredictable.

Han is the surname of the uncle of the country today.Yes, it's the uncle Guo who doesn't agree with the prime minister's faction.General Han was born in the Han family, and he has been a proud son of heaven since he was a child. He heard that foreigners are about to move, so he volunteered to go to the front line...

Unexpectedly, as soon as he confronted the enemy, he was about to be stabbed to death.

Some people lamented that the young general was brave and fearless, while others thought he was incompetent.But no matter what, he is now in Yongcheng.

The people are more or less relieved.

Yuan Shan went out to inquire about the news today, and told about it when he came back at noon.

Everyone was analyzing the mystery while having lunch.

"If the injury is really serious, why do you have to come back here all the way? Is there no place to sleep in Hepingguan?"

"...There is another possibility, he came to find a miracle doctor."

The miracle doctor seems to be addicted to living in Chang's house.

Mrs. Chang's illness is in her mind, and it will take time to slowly remove the focus.The genius doctor is extremely chic, seeing a doctor for his wife every five days, leaving early and returning late at other times, going to various medical clinics, and remembering to come back to eat meals in Changfu.

The head of the Chang family provided for him, but he was not polite, he simply regarded the Chang mansion as his second home.

Once Chang Mi was playing in the yard, and Jiang Tiantian quietly put the ladder on the wall behind the persimmon tree, and the two climbed up to relive the experience of Chang Mi's first time climbing the wall... just on the top of the wall, When he looked down, he came face to face with the miracle doctor.

Jiang Tiantian was reprimanded by Song Xu later, he couldn't encourage the children to play together because he didn't climb the wall before, no matter what, he had to ask someone to watch from the side!

This ladder is not a small toy, it is big, heavy, rough and a little crooked, what if it falls?

But after that, Chang Mi went to the wall to see the miracle doctor from time to time.

The Abandoned Garden is no longer the Abandoned Garden that Chang Mi stayed in before——Since Chang Mi left, the genius doctor seems to dislike the super-large and luxurious guest house that Patriarch Chang arranged for him, so he walked around the mansion and chose the Abandoned Garden .

No matter how miserable Patriarch Chang was, he had no choice but to send his servants to pull weeds, sweep and repair the roof, and finally turned the abandoned garden from a place where ghosts lived into a place where people lived.

At the dinner table, Chang Mi heard the key word "miracle doctor", and his heart moved.

I haven't climbed the wall for several days. I don't know how the genius doctor is doing recently?Now I can't go out to play, why not go to the doctor to play!

So after the meal, he pulled Xinde's little friend and turned over to the next door skillfully.

The pillar could climb better than him, and the two slid into the house with a brisk sound.

"Ah!" Chang Mi exclaimed suddenly: "Ghost!"

Zhu Zi stepped in front of Chang Mi: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Mi! I'm here to catch ghosts!"

General Han who was wrapped in bandages and thought to be a ghost: "..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chang Mi's eyes were blood red, and fear suddenly surged in his heart.

"............. Do you have eaten Uncle Divine Doctor! You, you return my uncle God Doctor, wow!"
