The end of being favored by the gods [Infinite Stream]

If there were still some people who doubted what he said yesterday, today they have completely believed it.

They even felt that this was a master full of wisdom.Yesterday their respect for him came from their fear of the Mouse King, but today, they trusted Xue Quning more.

At the same time, his sense of the Mouse King has deteriorated a lot.

"He is simply a liar." One of them could not help complaining in a low voice, "This is an act of defrauding us of gold coins."

"Yes, yes, think about it seriously. Although banknotes are convenient, they can only be used in the town and cannot be circulated outside."

"Don't say a few words." One person glanced warily at the passing pastor, "At least the Mouse King doesn't plan to run away with the gold coins—we have to find a way to exchange the gold coins back."

"We are still in the church now, and everyone knows that there are rat king's eyes and ears here..."

They discussed with what they thought was a low voice, but they didn't know that their plan was not only heard, but also impossible to realize.

Xue Quning was chatting with a businessman wearing old-fashioned glasses.Under Xue Quning's deliberate rhetoric, the relationship between the two is already quite good.

The old-fashioned glasses shook his head when he heard the conversation of his colleagues: "It's hard to succeed, everyone is not a fool."

I am afraid that everyone will realize the importance of gold coins tomorrow, so they will find ways to exchange them back.

Xue Quning didn't say anything absolutely, but said flatly: "Let's not talk about whether there are so many gold coins to pay, I'm afraid the soldiers will show up first after the market opens tomorrow."

The businessman shuddered: "Those ruthless soldiers only know how to eat people."

"A bunch of savages." He said disdainfully, "We are the civilized people."

His words revealed contempt for the Shu King soldiers, and even disrespect for the Shu King.Xue Quning's eyebrows twitched, and she said calmly: "Aside from cannibalism, don't those soldiers have other punishment measures?"

The old-fashioned glasses lowered his voice: "You are just here, you don't know, before this mouse king took office, we have been using confiscation of property as a punishment method."

"Although the method is more cruel than cannibalism, at least it does not hinder the senses."

Xue Quning kept smiling and nodded from time to time, but he was actually digging out the information in his words.

In this "commercial town", the elements related to commerce are exaggerated and exaggerated, so that the residents believe that the confiscation of property is more cruel.

But after thinking about it, these small town residents are not human at all, so there is no need to use human thinking to speculate.

"Then who decided on the method of confiscating property?"

"Of course we set it ourselves." He showed a rather arrogant look, "We are a commercial town, we believe in mind and hands, no one can make rules for us."

"Including God, or the church, you also saw that there is nothing in this church."

He said contemptuously: "In the beginning, those priests really wanted to come to us to preach, but they failed in the end. We each took a step back and allowed the church to perform basic functions here, but forbid them to bring useless gods here."

He has only gone through two levels so far, but the two copies are very different, one is almost paranoid about the worship of God, and the other is quite rational.

Xue Quning was just trying his luck to make a set of words, but he did not expect to get such important information before he even said a few words.

Xue Quning was horrified, the current clues were all connected together.

He made a look of special interest again: "Then why can the current Shu King give you a formula..."

Before he finished speaking, the face of the old-fashioned glasses changed drastically.

"This, this... let's talk about something else." A fear flashed in his eyes, and he carefully changed the subject: "I think it's difficult for most people to sleep peacefully tonight."

Doubt flashed in Xue Quning's eyes, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he rationally chose not to ask.

After the lights were turned off at night, the abuse outside the church could indeed be heard.

This kind of abuse turned into screams after the soldiers rushed over, and finally there was a smell of blood in the air.

In the second half of the night, it fell into complete silence.

Some escaped unharmed today, comforting themselves that they will be fine tomorrow. They have already thought of countermeasures to solve the current problems, and this disaster will not last long.

There are also small traders who unfortunately went bankrupt in just one day, tossing and turning until dawn, thinking hard about a way to make a comeback.

Most people feel that the banknotes they hold in their hands have become waste paper.

"Not enough." Xue Quning didn't fall asleep either, lying on the bedside looking at the moon, a sly and cruel light flashed in his eyes.

It's not enough at all, the fifteen pieces of medicine in his hand can't be exchanged for a thousand gold coins at all.

As soon as the sky dawned, everyone woke up to the rising sun of hope, thinking that they would be able to get out of the crisis today.

Yet no one knows that today will only be worse than yesterday.

The first person who had a problem was a child. He came to fetch water from a well in the center of the town, washed himself, and suddenly felt that the sound of the water flow seemed to be louder today.

But he was young, and there was no doubt about it.After washing up, he gulped down a large bucket of water.

Then he fell straight down, and a horrible rash spread rapidly on his arm!

"Is it the Black Death?!"

"It must be the plague!!" A woman with a big belly screamed, "Hurry him out of town! Throw him out!"

The child's mother screamed and rushed over, throwing herself on her child: "Who dares to touch him?!"

"He's just allergic! It's not a disease!"

"Quick! This woman! Throw this woman out together!" The pregnant woman was still screaming, pointing at the two of them, "I'm going to give birth soon! You can't take this responsibility!"

Usually the two women don't deal with each other, but today they are even more jealous.

The pregnant woman’s family went bankrupt yesterday, and the husband was only doing some small business, but they wanted to make more money, because the wife was about to give birth, and there was another person to eat in the family; it happened that banknotes were issued at this time, and the two were ecstatic, Exchanged all the gold coins in the house.

However, they did not enjoy the treatment of rich people for a few days, and the banknotes in their hands suddenly turned into waste paper.

The husband was so shocked that he still dare not come out of the house under the scolding of his wife.And the wife is not much better, the gap from rich to bankrupt is too great, and her reason has long been thrown aside.

If it was her most beautiful time a few days ago, she would not be so hysterical, even irrationally, pointing at an innocent child and viciously cursing.

"I think your family is a disaster %@%￥...&%￥%#￥# I haven't had a good day @@￥%..."

The mother who was pointed at the tip of her nose and scolded by her was also having a hard time. She was in a similar situation to the pregnant woman's family. Although her husband's business was not closed for the time being, it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Therefore, her anger is also rising steadily, and her usually kind face in front of her neighbors is now ferocious.

Although she hasn't shown it yet, her husband who rushed over has changed his face.

A well-known doctor in the neighborhood came to have a look.When there are no priests, the learned doctor is the authority of all.

He glanced at it and couldn't figure out the reason, but he was not blind, so he could naturally see how scary the rash on the surface was.

So he asserted: "There must be something wrong with the water! Something in the water caused his blood to be polluted!"

"Needs bloodletting."

When the woman holding the child heard this, her eyes flashed. After the neighbors helped carry her child back to the house, she suddenly lifted the bucket next to her and poured the remaining water on the pregnant woman!

"You are the disaster star! Go to hell!"

"Anyway, you have no money! Why don't you go to God!"

The pregnant woman let out a scream. She opened her mouth and swallowed a little water unexpectedly. However, a rash quickly appeared on the place where the skin touched.

Such tragedies were actually staged successively in different places in the same morning.

It's only been a day, and the conflicts triggered by the bankruptcy have cast a shadow over the town.

The drug store suddenly flooded with a large number of customers.

"Give me the medicine! Pack me a copy of all the medicine here!"

"Don't rob me! Boss! Come fifty bottles! I have gold coins here, and I will pay for everything with gold coins!"

The boss also seemed very embarrassed: "But the church stipulates...we are only allowed to accept banknotes."

The guests were stunned. Yesterday they shouted that the banknotes were waste paper, but today they had to reuse it.

It was originally a good thing, because the market had changed drastically the day before because of the change in the value of banknotes.

Today, however, banknotes are suddenly important, and they still haven't stabilized the market.

For this reason, they had to flock to the exchange window again to exchange the remaining gold coins into banknotes.

"Drugs have become a commodity that is in short supply, and the price will only skyrocket." Xue Quning and Yan Yi hid in the corner, watching the farce on the street.

"I just think it's a coincidence." Yan Yi still felt a little unbelievable, "We need to increase the price of medicines, and the epidemic really appeared. Don't you think it's strange?"

"Strange..." Xue Quning shrugged, "It's good for us anyway."

"What if it's a conspiracy against us?" Yan Yi's face was serious.

"The only ones who know our plan are you and me, and Song Guanxue." Xue Quning said, "Do you want me to doubt you?"

Yan Yi could hear that he was joking, but still couldn't laugh, and hesitated, "What if it's Song Guanxue? If he... didn't break up with Xiao Shan and those two."

"The players don't have that much ability." Xue Quning said, "I prefer their own hands."

Yan Yi was thoughtful, but Xue Quning noticed that the boss was looking over anxiously, and immediately walked under the shadows.

He won't even be able to go to church to sleep tonight.

The owner of the pharmacy must be looking for him to breach the contract now. If he finds out that he is in church, it may affect his future actions.

At this moment, a familiar little newsboy passed by not far from the two of them, still hawking.

"This morning's news! Don't you want a copy?"

"There is a problem with the water source in the small town. What is the cause of the rash?"

"What is the special medicine to remove the rash? Please pay attention to today's newspaper, and pay attention to the hot section!"

When people on the street heard this, they immediately rushed forward: "Give me a copy of the newspaper!"

"I also want!"

Newsboy: "Okay gentlemen, 2 gold coins for a newspaper!"

"2 gold coins?? Are you stealing money?"

The people around were obviously angry. Regardless of the little newsboy's obstruction, they grabbed the newspaper forcefully and let the little newsboy cry.

"Increase the price and increase the price! You only know about the price increase! You are crazy about money!"

The little newsboy was crying. He was beaten and was crying on the ground when suddenly a pair of shoes came into his sight.

Two gold coins landed in front of him, he rushed to cover them with his hands, looked up, and smiled happily: "I remember you!"

Xue Quning gave him a gentle smile: "Newspaper."

The little newsboy was stunned, and the last newspaper in his hand was snatched away.

Xue Quning quickly turned to the hotspot section, glanced at it, then stuffed the newspaper into her arms and left in a hurry.

Only the little newsboy was left watching him with tearful eyes.

"It's blood leech powder." With a complicated look on his face, he whispered, "It just happens to be blood leech powder."

The boss suddenly yelled to line up, and closed the door forcefully, hanging a price tag on the door.

"4 boxes of blood leech powder 40 bills"

The day before yesterday, I could buy 10 boxes with 5 bills.

Yan Yi's heart was beating like a drum, and she had obviously thought of a certain possibility.

The 15 boxes of medicine in their hands are useless to themselves, but for the town residents who have already fallen into group dementia... it may become a sky-high price step by step.

She asked excitedly: "Who are we going to find to exchange these medicines for gold coins?"

Xue Quning was also thinking about this question.

He, perhaps, could not have chosen these inhabitants for exchange.

Who is hoarding the most gold coins right now?

The author has something to say: I have been waiting for a long time, it is estimated that there are still two chapters left to clear the customs
