Li Qingxiu ignored the tea shop shop owner's words to drive people away, she sat down again, and while wrapping the cloth bag, she said to the tea shop shop owner: "Tap shop owner, tell me, what is going on in Xinzhou? Why do you want us to leave?”
"Little girl, you are so curious at a young age. But curiosity can kill people." After the tea shop owner said this, he took the chrysanthemums to the backyard warehouse.
Li Qingxiu curled her lips. what the hell? Before the transaction, I called her a girl, but now that the transaction is completed, I have turned back into a little girl.
【drop! Completed survival mission: complete a transaction in Xinzhou City within three days. Reward for successful mission: 300 warm baby stickers, points: 500. 】
Seeing how few points she had this time, Li Qingxiu was so angry that she made another cup of chrysanthemum tea to calm down her anger.
When the tea shop owner came out again, he saw that Li Qingxiu had not left, but was still sitting there leisurely drinking chrysanthemum tea.
There was helplessness on his face. Why doesn't this girl leave?
Li Qingxiu could also see what the tea shop owner was thinking. Since the task had been completed, she naturally wanted to satisfy her curiosity.
"Girl, it's getting late. You should leave quickly. Your parents will be worried if they can't find you." The tea shop owner said helplessly.
Li Qingxiu put down her tea cup and looked at the tea shop shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, why are there so many people dead in Xinzhou City?"
Li Qingxiu was really curious. After observing for a while, the people here didn't seem to be suffering from the plague. So why did so many people die since there was no war or plague?
Seeing that the girl was still struggling with this problem, the tea shop owner walked over to sit opposite Li Qingxiu and added some more hot water to his chrysanthemum tea.
He took a sip of chrysanthemum tea to moisten his throat and said, "That's because I froze to death due to the sudden drop in temperature two days ago."
Frozen to death? ! Li Qingxiu was stunned, then why was everything okay in their valley?
Oh, right! Everyone in the valley was hiding in the cellar, but the three of them had silver charcoal and a kang bed to keep them warm, so they were fine.
Li Qingxiu remembered that there was a layer of ice even near the hot spring that morning. It must have been so cold that night to freeze so many people to death at once.
"Fortunately, my family has a cellar. It snowed suddenly before, so my family moved into the cellar to save firewood. Unexpectedly, we lost our lives because of this."
After the tea shop owner said what he thought of, he looked at Li Qingxiu in confusion. "Girl, it's been so cold these days, how did you survive it?"
Li Qingxiu also took a sip of chrysanthemum tea before saying, "That was so unbearable, I almost froze to death."
Seeing that Li Qingxiu was unwilling to say more, the tea shop owner sighed and said, "The constant natural disasters are scary enough, but what's even more scary is the combination of natural disasters and man-made disasters."
Li Qingxiu looked straight at the tea shop owner, asking the tea shop owner to continue talking, but she was listening.
The tea shop owner took another sip of chrysanthemum tea before whispering: "The reason why I asked you to leave here is because there are a group of beasts here.
These beasts only know how to oppress the people. If there was a war, those beasts would still seize the common people and use them as targets. I spent 80% of my net worth in order to keep my family safe.
Fortunately, you came late. If you had come early, you might have been used as meat targets by those beasts. Many refugees were killed in this way before. "
Li Qingxiu knew as soon as he heard that the tea shop owner was talking about King Zhao and his army. Li Qingxiu felt that calling them beasts was an insult to beasts.
At this time, the tea shop owner spoke again. "Many people, young and old, have died in the past two days. No matter how heartbroken the living are, they still have to survive. This city has been closed for a period of time due to natural disasters and wars, and there is not much food in the city.
Because the original Xianxian County here was killed by King Zhao, but the new magistrate had not yet taken office, so everyone who survived went to the general stationed here, hoping that the general could save us.
But the general refused to distribute warm supplies and food, and spent all day drinking and drinking with those wealthy businessmen. The common people begged him several times and the general became angry, so he killed several common people to show that they were killing chickens to scare the monkeys.
He also allowed his subordinates to bully us ordinary people all day long. When I see delicious food, I just eat it without paying for it. When I see a beautiful woman from a house, I take it back and spoil it.
If a woman accidentally became pregnant with their child, she would be taken to a drugstore and given abortion pills as soon as she found out. Men are miserable too, if the army is short of manpower. Anyone who is attracted by those beasts will be captured and sent to the army. well. All in all, life here is miserable. "
After hearing this, Li Qingxiu couldn't help but exert a little force on her hand holding the tea cup. The tea cup immediately cracked into several pieces in Li Qingxiu's hand.
The tea shop owner looked at Li Qingxiu's chicken claw-like hands in surprise. Is this girl so strong? It was actually able to crush his teacup.
Li Qingxiu calmly took five or six copper coins from his arms and placed them on the table. "This is to compensate you for your tea cup."
The tea shop owner silently took the few pennies and put them into his arms. Life was hard now, and every penny he could earn was worth a penny. "Girl, you are really strong."
Li Qingxiu chuckled: "Haha... It's natural. It's getting late. My parents are still waiting for me. I have to leave quickly."
Now that she understands everything, there is no need to stay here anymore. Qingfeng Li was still waiting for her at home.
And when she goes back, she will tell the people in the valley what happened here. Let them not come to Shinshu again, lest they be remembered by those people who are worse than animals.
"Remember to tell your parents to leave here as soon as possible. Aboriginal people like us can't leave even if they want to." The tea shop owner said with a sad expression.
Li Qingxiu opened her mouth and finally closed it. Alas, forget it. In this difficult world, everyone has his own destiny.
She can't save them by interfering with them. Of course, she didn't have the ability to save him.
When Li Qingxiu returned to the valley, he saw Li Zheng, Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang warming themselves by the fire in the stone pavilion.
They looked towards the entrance of the valley from time to time, and suddenly saw Li Qingxiu appearing in their sight, and they all ran out with relief.
"Pretty girl, how could you go out without saying a word? What if something happens?" Li Zheng said dissatisfied.
Li Dazhuang said nothing but looked at Li Qingxiu with a stern face, but the blame and worry in his eyes almost overflowed.
Li Erzhuang looked Li Qingxiu up and down, and when he saw that she was fine, he said, "Where have you been, girl? We asked Xiaofeng, but he was so stubborn that he didn't know. We searched all the nearby valleys, but we couldn't find you. Traces.”
Li Qingxiu knew that these three elders cared about her, so she showed a flattering smile. "Xiao Feng really doesn't know. I didn't tell him that I went to Xinzhou City."
The three grown men were all shocked when they heard this, and said in unison: "What? Are you going to Xinzhou?!"
