"I need to buy a change of clothes."

"Huh? No, no."

It turned out that this was Hei Juliu. Turning around, he saw Mo Sui standing in a daze at the door of a ready-made clothing store. He thought: Yes, even if the clothes are not dirty and have the function of self-purification, but wearing only one suit for such a long time is also annoying. uncomfortable.

When he said this, Ji Kui and Li Congyun also remembered it.But upon hearing Mo Sui's rebuttal, the two of them stopped before entering the clothing store, and waited beside him for his explanation.

"I was wondering, how did the clothes here come from?"

"How did it come about? Made it... right?"

"Everyone's clothes, no matter hemp, cotton, or silk, are collected from farmers, weaved by weavers into cloth, and then finished into clothes. But, have you ever seen a caravan selling cloth? The team, even the spinning and weaving people, have never been seen, not a single one. Although we only passed one village and one town, we haven’t seen the city carefully yet, but it can explain some problems to some extent.”

"Indeed..." Ji Kui is also trying to recall the memories of his life in the mortal world, which are few and pitiful compared to his long life. At the gate of the city, there is only a group of people delivering taxes and food, not to mention merchants, not even vegetable farmers who sell vegetables. How do people in this city live?"

"Let's go into these businesses and have a look." When Hei Juliu was in Fansu, his attention was also on Moshang. Now he tries to recall and compare, and it is true that this city is too lonely.

"You go to the tailor shop, we go to the restaurant."

The four of them split up, Mo Sui and Hei Ju flowed into the tailor shop, and there was only one customer inside at this time.Mo Sui touched the fabric of the clothes, but didn't feel anything wrong.The shopkeeper asked the assistant to go to the warehouse to get the goods. This street is full of shops with houses in the front and houses in the back, and people live in the back, and they are usually the warehouses of the shops.Seeing this, Mo Sui also followed, and Hei Juliu would naturally not stay where he was.The storefront of the clothing store is not big, and the warehouse and residential area behind it are not too big. It seems that it is a place for the staff to stay, but the warehouse is the largest place.

The man removed the door panel of the warehouse, and a very strange smell came out, mixed with a faint smell of blood and stench, plus some smell of medicine.It was night now, with lanterns hanging from the eaves and candlesticks in the hands of the waiters.But standing outside the door, except for the light from the bean-sized candlestick, Mo Sui couldn't even see the figure of the clerk clearly, and the warehouse was pitch black.He couldn't help looking at Hei Juliu: "Can you see what the goods inside are like?"

"You'd better...don't know."

"Although I vomited a few times, how can I be so weak?"

"..." Hei Juliu hesitated for a moment, and after a second thought, it would be better to make it clear, "I saw a lot of stretched leather hanging inside, it should be human skin depending on the situation."

"!?"

While the two were talking, the man came out with a pile of clothes.Hei Juliu looked at the clothes and said, "These things are just pieces of skin in the store, but when they are carried out of the door, they suddenly change their appearance and become pieces of clothes."

Mo Sui didn't vomit this time. He has gradually gotten used to this situation.

They left the tailor shop and went outside. After waiting for a while, Li Congyun came back first, and motioned for them to follow him.

The restaurant they went to before was called Jin Fu Lai. It was the tallest building on this street, with four floors and the largest floor space.When Li Congyun led them all the way through the back kitchen, Mo Sui was already able to turn a blind eye to the stumps of hands and feet on the chopping board.

Generally, such restaurants will raise some fresh animals, and the restaurant here is the same.Li Congyun took them to the place where these fresh ingredients were stored, where they saw young people and children for the first time...

The young man looked less than twenty, which was the best time for mortals, but he was tied around the neck by a chain and locked in a corner.Moreover, his body was covered with bloody bandages, and he looked like he was dying.Beside him were two rough straw baskets, one containing a toddler, the older one was at most three years old, and the younger one seemed to be only one year old.

"What's going on here?" Mo Sui and Hei Juliu were a little dumbfounded, why is this restaurant also working part-time to extract confessions by torture?

"You'll know after a while." Ji Kui signaled to the two of them to be calm, but it was obvious that he was waiting to see a joke.

But before they continued to ask, a cook wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife came over. After the cook came, he squatted next to the young man and turned the young man twice, who had already breathed in and hadn't exhausted much. Finally, he looked disgusted at him The bandage on the left thigh was torn off.The bandage had already stuck to the wound, and the cook showed no mercy when he started, and the blood splashed out along with the bandage.The young man snorted twice, struggling feebly.But he was slapped silently by the cook.

"It's enough here." The grumbling cook pressed the young man's leg and raised his knife. Mo Sui and Hei Juliu wanted to stop him when they saw this, but they were stopped by Ji Kui and Li Congyun. A piece of meat about two taels was cut off from the young man.

The young man opened his mouth and let out a vague cry. It turned out that his tongue was gone.After the sound, he twitched twice, with a hideous expression on his face, and made no sound.

"Zhao Quan! Tell the shopkeeper to buy another two-legged sheep!" After shouting, the cook took the meat and left muttering, "The shopkeeper is also stingy, buying one two-legged sheep at a time is not enough. "

"He can't live anymore, we can't get the medicine, even if we saved him just now, it will only make him suffer for a while." Ji Kui explained for his blocking just now.

"What... what's going on here?" Although the people in this place had a weird life before, they also ate the flesh of dead people, but now they really treat people like domestic animals.But this is not a time of famine, besides, they have seen pigs and sheep in this place, so why do the people here eat the same kind instead of livestock.

"I don't know. This is what we saw when we came here, and this child is not quite right." Ji Kui walked to the straw basket and motioned for the two to come and see.

Generally, three-year-old children can already speak, but they can't clearly express themselves.And it should be the most mischievous and annoying time.But this child is sitting in the basket like this. At first glance, he thought he was honest, but after a closer look, he realized that this child was dull.The other one under the age of one was similar, neither crying nor fussing, but also not moving, absolutely not like a normal toddler.

"Can we... take these two children away?" They were put here, and they were obviously used as ingredients.And there are not just two baskets here, but five.Mo Sui didn't want to think about whether there were children in the other three baskets, and where did those children go now.

"Whoever takes care of it." Ji Kui curled his lips, but he didn't stop him.People here can't see the things they hold in their hands. They have tried it with live chickens and ducks, and people here can't see it either.Later, I gradually discovered that the larger ones are simply not enough to be touched by them, they must be able to be hugged by them.These two children are still young, and there is no problem in holding them.

Mo Sui and Hei Juliu hugged one of them and touched the dirty hands. It turned out that the child had no clothes on and Lazard was in the basket, and no one cleaned them.The two of them didn't feel dirty either. Hei Juliu went out and came back with two clean cloths in his hand. Mo Sui thought it might be human skin, so he paused when he took the cloth, but he didn't care so much now.From being carried out of the basket to being wiped, to being hugged by the two, the two children were still dumbfounded and did not respond to anything.

It wasn't until they were hugged and walked towards the back kitchen that the one who was beaten started to react. He started to tremble and weep silently.

"Master Hu! I'm going to buy sheep!" A guy in the back kitchen shouted.

There was no need to say hello, and the four of them followed up together.

-

The guy didn't walk fast, he was very leisurely, and he bought a bunch of fried meatballs on the side of the road to eat.Everyone followed him, turning left and right, all the way to the gate of the government office.Before, the tax and grain car went directly to the granary in the city. Although the four of them wanted to go to the government office to take a look, they hadn't had time yet.This is a good thing, I gave them a guide directly.The clerk obviously knew the way. At the door, he showed a jade plaque to the gatekeeper and walked in.

The four of them followed him all the way into the government office, and just like that they walked into the prison.Four jailers were playing cards when they entered.

"Suntou, my lords, I'm going to trouble you again, please pick two stronger ones." The clerk saluted the four jailers respectfully, and handed over a red envelope at the same time.

Sun Tou, whose card game was interrupted, took the envelope and smiled: "Our business has been in business for many years, of course." He held a lamp and motioned for the clerk to follow him.

The prison stinks badly. Here, they saw more young people, both men and women, but they were all naked, their eyes were terrified and dull, and they were extremely quiet, not even a single one groaned for injustice.They don't look like people, but like... animals who know that they are about to be slaughtered, are terrified but have nowhere to escape.

Tou Sun picked out two young men for the clerk. When the iron chains were tied around the necks of the two men, both of them trembled with fear, but none of them resisted.Obviously the jailer looked thin and dry, and the man was not a tall and burly type.

In this situation, even Mo Sui and Hei Juliu, who wanted to save people, did not move.It's easy to kill all four jailers, but what next?There are at least 200 people detained in this prison, but they all look like this, probably they can't even escape, how to save them?

Hei Juliu turned around and was about to comfort his partner when suddenly he lowered his head and saw a dirty hand touching the hem of his clothes: "You...can you see me?"

At this time, the clerk and the jailer had already gone far away. When the man saw Hei Juliu bowed his head, his dull eyes immediately lit up: "Help...help..."

No, even if he could see them, how could this person think that they were not here to pick two-legged sheep, but to ask for help?Hei Juliu was puzzled at first, and then he and Mo Sui looked at each other's arms at the same time - they were also holding a child. Since they left the restaurant, the two children have stopped shaking and are now sleeping soundly.
