Chapter 137

After Huo Shangjie and Hang Sihan left, martial law began in Kyoto, and the Huo family didn't go out easily. They could only get news from the Jin Yiwei who was patrolling past outside the door every day.

Zhu Jiayi specially made a list in order to prevent missing important information, and took the trouble to ask carefully every day like a survey report.

The guards in Jinyi were all explained by Diao Er, and they also knew the abilities of Huo Shangjie and Hang Sihan, and they were willing to sell the Huo family, and they all knew that they would say nothing.

The drought is becoming more and more serious, and it has started since last winter, but when everyone realized it, the situation was almost unavoidable.

The list of which merchants in Kyoto buy a large amount of grain from the south has long been mastered by Jin Yiwei. One after another, they buy them at a price [-]% higher than the market price, and then send them to the towns below. Available in limited quantities.

In addition, Jin Yiwei also exaggerated the drought to make the people have a sense of crisis and save food to prevent them from being unable to survive the long months or even a year.

When others tightened their belts to deal with disasters, the Huo family was afraid that people would find out that they had a lot of food, so they deliberately controlled the amount of food and ate less and more meals. Although the number of people went down with the flow, they had a balanced diet of chicken, fish, eggs, meat, fruits and vegetables every day. With so much food to eat, you don't have to worry about water for the time being, and your energy is good.

From time to time, Zhu Jiayi poured two drops of space spring water liquefied by meteorites into the water tank at home, allowing it to slowly nourish and repair everyone's ailments.

I believe that after the disaster is over, she will be able to welcome her nephew soon.

The day in early August was scorching hot, the ground was extremely hot, the air was hot and dry, and the infection was so strong that people felt it was difficult even if they were indoors.Due to the aggravation of the drought, all kinds of materials have become in short supply, and prices have been soaring.

But pedestrians came and went in a hurry, and half of the shops related to the catering industry, such as pastries and restaurants, were closed, and there were more than a dozen big men viciously guarding the doors of those shops that were open.

All kinds of robbery, theft, and riots are common in drought-affected areas. Officials are exhausted from torment, and simply ignore small cases, and fooled by major cases, only suppress rioters and maintain superficial law and order.

The door of Huo's house was knocked loudly one morning, and it used to startle some dogs barking, but now it can no longer be heard.

The Huo family just had dinner and were talking together while they were busy with their own affairs.

After they looked at each other, Huo Da stood up and strode to the door, and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

The people outside the door were silent for a while, and when Huo Da was about to leave impatiently, Zhu Chuanhai was afraid that the neighbors would not hear him, so he shouted loudly: "I am Zhu Jiayi's father, my nephew, please open the door quickly!"

Zhu Jiayi was already the backbone of the Huo family, and now she and Huo's mother were one step behind Huo Da and just heard it.

When they were bored, they discussed about the Zhu family and the Hang family.

At this moment, receiving Zhu Jiayi's nod, Huo's mother rolled up her sleeves and replied with a loud voice: "My father-in-law, why are you here?

It stands to reason that we have to welcome you in with enthusiasm, but now people are in panic, there are several groups of people outside watching our house all the time, and we have to trouble the masters of Jin Yiwei to call the door three, four, five, six or seven times a day to scare you. down the wicked.

So I have to ask you to forgive me, our family is so old and young that we dare not open the door.

If we have something to say, finish quickly through the door, so you can go home, the streets are too dangerous! "
