26 trouble down(2/2)
There is less and less food on the market.
The food and meat that Wei He received from the Cheng family each month also began to decrease. Apparently, the Yonghe Escort Agency was also having some difficulties.
Cheng Shaojiu had told him several times about this. The escort agency had received escorts very frequently before, but most of them were human escorts, that is, escorting living people away.
And most of them use other things as collateral to settle the bill. Now the frequency has dropped, and people in outer cities who can go can do it almost the same.
The rest are those who don't want to leave, and those who can't leave. Business has also deteriorated.
But there will definitely be no shortage of people who deserve it. Cheng Shaojiu made sure by doing this.
Wei He also asked his second sister to start supplying steamed buns in limited quantities every day, and at the same time, he started to stock up on grain and meat.
But it seems that everyone is doing this, and the food and meat on the market are sold out as soon as they appear.
When we arrived at Wei Ying's bun shop later, we didn't dare to open it. Once it opened, it was robbed of all its stock within a few minutes.
The dream of making a steamed bun shop came to an end.
Every day in Ishibashi Town, people collapse in corners and in the sewers, motionless and never to move again.
The stray dogs also disappeared one after another. Most of them were probably killed and eaten.
Wow.
There was a sound of water, and a large basin of yellow and turbid river water was poured into a larger wooden basin.
A piece of thin cloth for filtering was placed in the wooden basin. Two strong women, one on each side, stretched out their hands to pull up the thin cloth and let the turbid river water slowly drip down.
This is filtering water.
The weather is dry, and the Feiye River is getting shallower and muddier. It is impossible to use it without filtering it.
Then there is a person on the side who scoops out the once-filtered water and pours it into the prepared bamboo tube stuffed with carbon. The bamboo tubes are connected one by one, and finally slide down to another clean wooden basin.
The water you get is the cleanest water.
Wei He picked up the freshly filled basin of water, poured the prepared medicinal powder into it, stirred it, and then added slightly better hot water to create a basin of hot water for skin grinding.
He picked up the medicine basin, walked out of the inner room, and returned to his place.
His current position is no longer in the corner, but in the middle left corner against the wall.
Instead of being next to each other with Cheng Shaojiu, he was training with a newcomer he brought.
The newcomer is a strong young man with naturally brown hair, named Ouyang Zhuang.
This person seems to have some assets in his family, and he was a bit spoiled when he first came here.
However, after being beaten several times by a cruel sparring partner, he no longer lost his skin.
When I saw Wei He before, I didn't even know he was called Senior Brother. Now that I saw him from afar, I rushed over to help carry the basin, help with things, etc.
Just like now.
As soon as Wei He went out with the wooden basin, he saw Ouyang Zhuang taking a few steps in step, and quickly ran over to help him take it.
The two of them walked slowly towards their practice position together.
"Senior Brother Wei, do you know that the number of people in the courtyard has decreased a lot recently?" Ouyang Zhuang asked in a low voice.
"Less?" Wei He has recently focused all his efforts on accumulating Qi and blood to prepare for a breakthrough, and has not paid attention to other changes at all.
