Chapter 79 Preparing to sell food (fourth more)
The city gate is not easy to enter!
"Huanhuan, look at the gates of the city are locked and the refugees are outside. I'm afraid they won't let us in."

Melomei raised her hand to cover her forehead, blocking the light to look at the city gate.

"This king knows a low wall, we will touch it when it gets dark."

Jun Buhuan put down Melomei next to a big bare tree, and took the sword in her hand.

Melomei stared at his sword for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "How about I give you a new sword? Take this sword and enter the city, I'm afraid we will be recognized soon."

It wasn't her bragging, Jun Buhuan's sword is so iconic that anyone who has seen this sword may recognize him at a glance.

Jun Buhuan paused for a moment as he wiped the sword, and said, "This is the sword that my king wears close to me, so it can't be thrown away easily."

"I don't want you to throw it away. What I mean is to find you an unidentifiable sword. As for yours, I will keep it for you first. I will return it to you when you arrive in the capital. What do you think?"

Melomei tried to discuss with him.

Jun Buhuan stared at the sword in his hand, thought for a moment, and threw the sword to her.

Melomei stretched out her hand to catch the sword, but she didn't expect the sword to be very heavy. When she caught it, she staggered from its strength, and took two steps back to stabilize her body.

With Jun Buhuan on his back, he threw the sword into the system backpack, and spent a few energy coins from the mall to buy an antique stainless steel sword that looked particularly sharp.

[Host, something with abundant energy has been detected, can you change it? ]
Melomei was about to exit, when she heard the system sound, she seemed very excited.

[The energy-rich thing, what is it? ] Melome was suspicious, she didn't bring anything in.

[Sword, treasure sword, host, the sword you threw in just now can be exchanged for 1 energy coins, can you exchange it? ]
The system is exciting, with this ten thousand energy, it can be upgraded.

When the time comes to open the channel, it runs back to watch the plot again and then comes back.

Melomei is suspicious: [So many? ]
Although this sword is inlaid with precious stones, it is not worth so much, right?
[Host, this sword has seen a lot of blood, it is very hostile, but at the same time it is also full of energy, so it can be exchanged for [-] energy coins, how about it?Change it or not, you can upgrade it if you change it, and you know where the plot is going. ]
The system smiled like an aunt, with a chubby body like a wolf grandmother.

[Forget it, don't change it, this thing is not mine, and I have to return it when the time comes. ]
Although she wants energy very much, she has to be principled as a human being, and if she keeps it for others, she must not embezzle it.

Melomei handed Jun Buhuan the stainless steel sword she just bought, "Can you see it?"

Jun Buhuan raised his eyebrows.

Replaced so soon?
He took the sword and looked at it, "Let's make do with it."

Melo May really wanted to slap him.

This girl is cheap and good-looking!

"We can't wait here all the time, can we? You see so many refugees outside the city gate, why don't we sell some food?" Melomei looked ahead and pointed at the refugees outside the city wall.

Some people were lying on the ground, some were sitting, some were grinding tree roots, and some were eating incomprehensible things.

"You want to sell grain?" Jun Buhuan raised his eyebrows and looked up at her, "Do you think they have the money to buy it?"

Don't let the food not be sold at that time, but be looted and lose their lives.

"Hey, I don't have to ask for silver. They don't have silver to exchange for things."

She won't refuse anything as long as it's worth a few energy coins.

She looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass. One energy coin can be exchanged for hundreds of catties of sorghum rice, corn dregs, or broken rice. One energy of tap water can also buy several cubic meters.

She can buy some cheap food and tap water to sell.It can save people and earn energy, why not do it.

It's just that there is no one to help!
"If you want to sell grain, I can help you, but you have to listen to my arrangements."

Jun Buhuan put away the stainless steel sword, stood up, and looked down at Melomei.

"Okay, that's it."

As long as you can earn energy, listening to someone is not listening.

Melomei nodded like a chick pecking rice, pulled a set of tools from the system to disguise the two of them, and then walked forward.

Jun Buhuan knew that there was a post station next to the official road nearby. Now that there is a drought, the post station is empty, so he planned to find some food first before attracting people to buy it.

The two walked for a while and came to the post station. Looking at the two-story brick building, Melomei nodded in satisfaction.

It's a great place to smuggle!
He was about to open the door and go in, but Jun Buhuan grabbed his arm.

Melomei turned to look at him puzzled, but Jun Buhuan picked her up, climbed over the roof, and jumped to the back of the house.

"There's someone in there."

Jun Buhuan frowned, when he came here in the previous life, the inn was already empty, but he didn't expect that there would be people inside in this life.

Is it too early?
Melome was also taken aback, it's difficult for someone!
Just as he was about to leave, he heard shouts from inside the house.

Immediately, he leaned on the window to listen with his ears up, but Jun Buhuan covered his ears and said in a low voice: "Don't listen, hurry up and go."

Can't listen?
The more she said she couldn't hear, the more curious Melomei became. She pulled Jun Buhuan's hand covering her ears, poked a hole in the window, and leaned over to watch.

Seeing her like this, Jun Buhuan had no choice but to lean against the wall with his sword in his arms, unable to look at the sky.

Let her listen if she wants to, anyway, he has already reminded her.

Melomei leaned over and only saw two people in the room tugging at something. Because of the light, they couldn't see their faces clearly, so they had to listen with their ears up.

"Master, please, let me go, I just want to borrow some food."

"Really, one handful is enough, my mother is starving to death."

The female voice finished, and then I heard a man's voice say: "As long as you let me mess with it, I can give you half a bowl of food."

Female voice: "Master, it can't be done, my mother is still waiting for me, please, give me some food, and when the disaster is over, I will pay you back double, please."

Male voice: "Young madam is pregnant. In order to save food, the concubine at home has been sold by parents. Young master, I am panicking now. If you ask me to mess with it, I will give you a handful of beans."

Melome: "..."

Looking at Jun Buhuan, he saw uncomfortable eyes and red ears.

"So you already knew?"

He didn't even tell her.

Jun Buhuan: "Didn't this king warn you?"

Being put together, Melomei was very impatient.

Flicking from the sleeve, he pulled out a rolling pin out of thin air, rolled up his sleeve and was ready to rush in.

"What do you want?"

Jun Buhuan stops her.

"That beast, my mother beat him to death."

Melomei broke free, resisted the rolling pin, kicked open the window, and jumped in.

Jun Buhuan: "..."

Seeing that the stop was ineffective, he had no choice but to follow behind and jump in.

The two were arguing in the room, when suddenly the window was kicked open, and then two people ran in, and the people in the room were startled.

"Are you... what... who are you?"

Seeing the two people jumping in, the man looked at him fiercely, shivered and stammered.

"The one who hit you."

Melomei looked at the man in fine clothes in front of her, raised her rolling pin and greeted him.

Seeing someone running, the woman shrieked and straightened her torn clothes, and immediately hid beside a pillar.

Melomei beat the man to the ground, and then stood aside holding the rolling pin to breathe.

Beating people is also hard work.

The man was beaten to the ground and begged for mercy repeatedly. Jun Buhuan raised his leg and wanted to send him to the west, but he saw the little girl beside him and held back.

He remembered the man who was afraid of seeing dead bodies.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll be back in a while."

After talking about the man on the ground, he jumped out of the window.

"Don't, don't hit me, I don't... don't want to."

Seeing Melomei approaching, the woman hiding beside the pillar panicked and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Melo May couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth.

"Don't worry, I won't hit you."

Throwing the rolling pin aside, he said, "I heard you borrowed grain just now, didn't you?"

Woman: "Yes... yes!"

She was originally a long-term laborer in Yuan's family. After the severe drought, Yuan's family also had no work, so they couldn't find work.

No work means no food to eat. This time, the old lady was really hungry, and seeing that she was going to be unable to survive, she had to boldly come to the previous owner's house, hoping to borrow some food to save her life, but unexpectedly met the young master.

The young master said that as long as he went with him, he would give her food, but he was brought here to try to do something wrong.

Melomei glanced at the skinny woman on the ground, and said: "My army is about to send me food. Although it's not very good, it can still fill my stomach. If you want to buy food, you can come here in an hour. purchase."

Woman: "But...we don't have money."

White rice that used to cost more than 20 renminbi a catty now grows to more than 100 renminbi a catty, and there is still a price but no market.

Melome: "It doesn't have to be silver, it can be other things, such as a grass, a stone, a ginseng tree, or a painting, a book, a bowl, and I will make a decision based on what you provide. Give food."

The woman showed an incredible expression: "Really...really?"

"Of course." Melome took out a bag from her body, grabbed a handful of rice and put it in her hand, "If you can pass on what I just told you to other victims, I can give you a few extra catties of rice .”

The woman looked at the rice in her hand, took one and put it in the corner of her mouth, chewed it, and found that it was indeed rice.

Although it was just some broken rice, it was enough to keep her family alive.

"Thank you, thank you."

The woman immediately kowtowed to Melomei before standing up, "Don't worry, I will definitely call the group of people outside the city to buy rice in an hour."

Someone sells rice, if you don't buy it, you are a fool!

The woman took a handful of rice, rolled and crawled away.

Seeing that everyone had left, Melome hurriedly put away the rolling pin, checked the surroundings, and found that there was no one there, then opened the system backpack and took out the grains that had been bought in the backpack.

[-] catties of broken rice and [-] catties of sorghum rice will be sold first.

 There will be two shifts tomorrow as usual, one shift at eleven in the morning and one shift at six in the afternoon.
