Chapter 1259 The Sorrow of the Weak
The Chu family's dissatisfaction had already risen. When they couldn't even fill their stomachs, they could still hear the news that Xiao Yiqing had been fighting for gold every day. They immediately blamed Shi Xi for his resentment. This is how human nature is.
"Shh, whisper, it's not good to be heard."
The person who spoke subconsciously looked back and saw that no one noticed him, he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped saying anything more.
From the breakfast that the Chu family had today, we can see how difficult the Chu family was.
In the early morning, Xiao Yang stretched out and walked out of the room. Because of the attack of monsters, the treasure appraisal pavilion was no longer open. For Xiao Yang, his monotonous daytime life was also changed.
This is Xiao Yang's open and upright look at the city.
The place where Xiao Yang lives is in the inner city. As soon as he left the boundary line of the inner city, Xiao Yang saw a picture of people sleeping on the street.
"Sir, please give me some, sir!"
There was a five or six-year-old child holding Xiao Yang's calves, his eyes full of begging.
Xiao Yang's gorgeous clothes are in sharp contrast to those outside who are ragged clothes, unable to eat enough, and have nowhere to sleep.
"Sir, please save my child. He hasn't eaten for two days." A woman in her thirties knelt in front of Xiao Yang and kept kowtowing. The woman's hands were cracked, her mouth was chapped, her face turned pale, and her forehead was sweating. It can be seen that she was already very weak.
When Xiao Yang saw the mother and son, he suddenly felt that it was the winter many years ago. His mother begged so hard, just wanting to eat with a bite of food. Although such a life was hard, her heart was always warm.
Xiao Yang sighed, reached into his pocket, grabbed a handful of gold coins, and was about to take it out, but he thought about it, let go of most of the gold coins, leaving only one, and then took it out and threw it to the woman in front of him.
The woman looked at the golden gold coin and was a little stunned for a moment. However, the little boy next to her quickly picked up the gold coin and kept kowtowing to Xiao Yang.
"Thank you, thank you."
Xiao Yang's mouth was slightly wide open. When his mother saw the cotton coat and banknotes handed over by Qinghan, she was stunned. She was also a child herself, so she rushed up to get the cotton coat and money.
Xiao Yang didn't give them too much, he knew that if he gave too much, it would hurt the mother and son.
Xiao Yang rubbed the child's head, "When you grow up, you must treat your mother well, do you know? Mother's love is the greatest in the world."
"Yes." The boy nodded, "When I grow up, I will definitely become a strong man."
"I believe you will." Xiao Yang smiled slightly, then turned around.
Xiao Yang didn't want to go to the outer city again. He knew that there were many such mothers and sons in the outer city, even more miserable than them. Xiao Yang didn't want to see that this was how his childhood came.
The outer city is miserable.
Looking at the inner city, everyone lives well, as usual, singing and having a feast for wealthy families.
"The rich people smelled of wine and meat, and they had frozen bones on the road."
Deep in the outer city, you can clearly feel the impact of the monster siege on the entire Eastern City and the fear in people's hearts, but in the inner city, you can't feel these. The people who are storing the grain are preparing to sell the grain at a higher price.
Xiao Yang walked on the streets of the inner city.
A team of officers and soldiers rushed towards Xiao Yang.
"The monster is coming soon, go back to your residence as soon as possible."
Some officers and soldiers specially escorted Xiao Yang and returned to their residence.
Xiao Yang had just entered the house and heard a loud shout outside the yard.
"The monster is here, prepare to defend!"
In the sky, birds and monsters attacked again.
Today's monster attack was even more violent than yesterday. Countless birds and monsters hovered in the air and launched dive attacks, and were killed by the guards guarding the city.
Today's monster attack lasted for a whole day, and it was not until dusk that someone was free to clean up the end of the street.
Xiao Yang stayed in the room this day.
As night fell, Cui Tian, who had been negotiating at the City Lord's Mansion for the whole night last night, walked out of his room. Two beautiful women followed him and tidied up his clothes that were still messy on his body.
Cui Tian yawned and ordered, "That person, you guys, come with me."
Xiao Yang walked out the door, "Brother Cui, what are you doing so late?"
"Give the grain." Cui Tian looked unhappy, "Yesterday, the city lord called all the food we had in our hands to the city lord's mansion, and promised a lot of benefits. He wanted us to take out the grain. Two people who disagree, were bitten to death by monsters last night."
Xiao Yang understood what this so-called being bitten to death by a monster is meant.
"Brother, if you feel bored, just go out with your brother. Now that human life is not valuable, you have to like a girl. One pound of grain can buy you a bed." Cui Tian said, raising his eyebrows at Xiao Yang.
"Go and have a look." Xiao Yang took a deep breath.
The place where the grain is distributed is at the junction between the inner city and the outer city.
The people in the outer city have already received news that they will be sharing the food tonight, and they all squeezed here.
Xiao Yang saw that many wealthy merchants were like Cui Tian, walking towards the dividing line with reluctance. Behind them, there were several subordinates, pushing small carts and throwing grain bags on them.
There are officers and soldiers responsible for maintaining order on the dividing line.
The people from the Chu family were crowded among the crowd.
Shi Xi was wearing a white long gown, which looked particularly outstanding, but his long gown became a flower shirt less than a minute after squeezing into the crowd. Various black handprints were printed on Shi Xi's clothes.
Shi Xi looked at the people around him with disgust and kept shouting: "Get out! You beggars, get away!"
"You are noble, don't come to collect food!"
"Are both a stray dog, and they pretend to behave?"
Shi Xi's words immediately attracted a large number of dissatisfaction.
Not only Shi Xi, except Chu Jisheng and Quan Dingding, the rest of the Chu family came out to collect food.
Nearly 30,000 people were filled with noises.
When the food distribution began, almost everyone rushed forward almost like crazy, and wanted to get more food.
Xiao Yang looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel sad. No matter where this world is, it is the prey of the weak. In the prosperous times, there is not much difference, but in the chaotic times, the weak are even more demanding to survive.
This is even more certain that Xiao Yang is determined to become the strongest person.
Among the crowd, Shi Xi held his own identity and was disdainful to compete with others. When he came to the grain distribution place without any haste, the grain today had been divided.
"It's gone." The person who distributes the food is like driving away flies.
"It's gone?" Shi Xi glanced at the empty grain bag. He suddenly saw Xiao Yang standing not far away. Shi Xi suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Xiao Yiqing! Return the grain!"
