Douluo: I heard that Disaster is a waste?
Chapter 153: Gengxin City, the Metal City
five days later
In Gengxin City, the metal capital, civilians were wandering outside a rice shop. A soldier who came to maintain order pushed one of the civilians away impatiently and said, "Get out of here! Stop being an eyesore!"
A frail civilian tremblingly raised a copper coin and said sadly:
"Money, I have money!"
"Uncle, please let me in to buy some food. I haven't eaten for two days."
The soldier pushed the civilian hard and he fell to the ground. "Get out of my way! This copper coin is not enough to pay the entrance fee. You poor wretch, don't let me in!"
Five days ago, an earthquake struck the area. Ordinary houses where civilians lived collapsed instantly. Only the houses built by senior blacksmiths were still standing, which just happened to protect the granary. However, due to the sudden disaster, the price of food was dozens of times more expensive than before.
This was the scene Qian Yuehuan saw when she entered the city.
If you walk further ahead, you can see a long queue of a hundred meters. When you go over to ask, you will find out that the local granary is open and most civilians can use their savings to buy food.
When Qian Yuehuan went there, she saw dozens of soldiers stationed near the granary. There were several temporary straw huts and rice was stored in large jars. Civilians were lining up to pay with one hand and receive rice with the other, but their faces were full of worry.
At this time, a crying voice was heard, "I don't want food anymore, I don't want food anymore! I beg you to let my daughter go!"
An old woman in front was holding a young woman's hand tightly and refused to let go.
The woman was very similar to the old woman, about twenty years old, and quite pretty. She was crying with tears streaming down her face, and was being pulled by a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had a lewd smile on his face. "The few silver coins you gave me are not enough to buy food. I think it would be better to use your daughter as collateral."
The old woman cried and shouted no, and the middle-aged strong man gave the soul master who was packing rice a look. The soul master poured out half of the rice in the bag, then tightened the bag and threw it in front of the old woman.
The middle-aged strong man kicked the old woman and laughed, "Hahahahahaha, is this half bag of rice enough to buy your daughter?"
There was an uproar all around. Those who were strong could not bear to see the middle-aged man being so arrogant. Some even clenched their fists and planned to beat the middle-aged man up to teach him a lesson.
"I don't know if this half bag of rice is enough to buy the old woman, but I know that this half bag of rice is enough to buy half of your life."
A loud voice rang out, and then a stone hit the middle-aged man's wrist. The middle-aged man let go of the woman's hand in pain, and the woman threw herself into the old woman's arms and kept crying.
An old man calmly walked out of the crowd, radiating the aura of a soul master. The powerful shock wave knocked the middle-aged man to the ground.
"Who's causing trouble?"
The crowd of onlookers suddenly parted, and a team of Star Luo Empire infantry strode over.
When the middle-aged man saw the leader, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother-in-law, this guy was the one who did it! I was selling rice well here, and this guy came out and pushed me to the ground with his soul power!"
The old man couldn't help but sneer when he saw it, "I wonder why he is so arrogant, it turns out he has a background."
When the old woman saw the soldiers coming, she burst into tears and said, "It's unfair. This man wanted to take my daughter away with half a bag of rice, so this kind-hearted man helped me."
As soon as the old woman said this, the captain of the soldiers understood the reason. When he saw the old man, his face changed and he said in a deep voice, "Master Ren Yuan Blacksmith, please don't meddle in other people's business."
"It is an honor for Gengxin City to distribute food to these poor people."
