National Simulation: I have countless talents

Chapter 394 Depends on each other.

Because the earth dragon overturned more than ten years ago, the imperial city was reduced to ruins, and the people suffered heavy casualties. After that, a large-scale plague broke out. The entire imperial city had a population of 300 million, and none of them survived.

In addition, the turn of the earth dragon changed the topography of the surrounding area of ​​the imperial city, the fertile fields were destroyed, and the crops were not harvested.

Those who survived by chance also died on the way to escape because of food shortage.

Some of the old, weak and sick remained in the ruins of the imperial city, gnawing grass roots, eating bark, and fighting wild dogs for food, and survived tenaciously.

Not long after Dilong turned over, it was relatively close to the imperial city, and many generals who held military power led their troops into the imperial city immediately.

Naturally, they will not help the victims with good intentions, their goal is the wealth in the imperial city!

The imperial city is the center of the ancient kingdom of Kongming, and it is extremely prosperous. There are many dignitaries, nobles and gentry of aristocratic families living in it!
On weekdays, these generals can only bow their knees in front of these high-ranking officials, and naturally they dare not make plans with them.

But it's different now, in troubled times, the man with soldiers is the master.

In fact, many people did not die when the earth dragon turned over, but were looted by these generals.

There was even a prince who survived by chance, but was chopped down by these daring Qiu Ba.

Except for some wealth that was buried in the ground because the ground collapsed due to the overturning of the earth dragon, there is really nothing to do.

The entire imperial city was searched on the bright side.

If the wealth obtained is just for pleasure, it is enough for these generals to enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime.

After all, it is purely for pleasure, how much money can you spend?
But these generals wanted to start their own businesses. Relying on the wealth they found from the imperial city, they recruited troops and wanted to fight for hegemony.

At first, because of the lack of wealth, the power of these generals expanded rapidly. At that time, the prince with the head of a mouse and no look of a master was still in the barren frontier, eloquently fooling the local aristocratic families to support him.

Cangshengdao is still limited to one state, cheated and abducted, and only wants to eat leeks and make money.

But today, these generals have already been out of the game, some were defeated and killed, and some took their few belongings to hide their names.

The imperial city, which was extremely prosperous in the past, is now only ruined walls, telling the glory of the past.

Among the ruins of the imperial city, a small town that has just taken shape exudes new vitality.

Although the town is small, it has everything you need.

The world is bustling, and all is for profit; the world is bustling for profit.

As long as there are enough interests, there will be no shortage of traces of people in any poor mountains and rivers.

Not to mention the ruins of an imperial city.

At the beginning, many generals around the imperial city led troops to plunder the imperial city and looted a large amount of property, but there were still many treasures, which were buried deep underground.

These treasures are ownerless, and whoever finds them will own them!

Therefore, with the mentality of getting rich overnight, many people have traveled through mountains and rivers to come here without fear of difficulties.

Over time, a small town was naturally born on the ruins of the imperial city.

Every year, there are lucky people who find treasures, change their destiny, and become masters.

But more people died quietly in a dark corner of the ruins of the imperial city.

It's perfectly normal to kill people to seize treasures, either for two taels of silver, or for a hairpin, or even a quarrel.

Human life is like a mustard, which is vividly displayed here.

But even if it was so dangerous, there was still an endless stream of people coming to the imperial city.

Compared with death, many people are more afraid of the day when they can see their heads at a glance.

Are people stupid?

not stupid!

On the contrary, there are many smart people among the people.

But in such a world, smart people often die the fastest.

Because smart people think too much.

And this situation is not what the beneficiaries want to see.

The class solidification in the ancient kingdom of Kongming has reached a pathological level, which is why there are so many beautiful women who are married.

And the reason why the husbands of these women are not only not ashamed, but proud.

Because they really can't find a better way to change their poor life and class than Haitianyiselou.

At the very edge of the town is a shanty town that stretches for thousands of meters.

The densely packed shantytowns were close together, messy and disorderly, sewage flowed across the ground, defecation and excrement could be seen everywhere, and there was an unpleasant stench in the air.

Although the town is small, it is not something these people can afford to live in.

They were struggling on the verge of life and death, not looking for treasures and getting rich overnight, but only thinking about finding food for their family's next meal from the ruins of the imperial city.

"Cough cough."

In the narrow, dark and damp room, on a bed made of several wooden boards and hay, coughing sounds could be heard from time to time.

It is said to be a room, but it is actually just a house made of branches and thatch.

These houses, not to mention comfortable, can't even provide shelter from the wind and rain.

If it rains a little bit more, it will leak.

As soon as the wind blows, the whole room will creak and shake, as if it will collapse in the next moment.

But this is the home of Li Hao and Li Rongrong.

Li Hao and Li Rongrong are survivors who turned Earth Dragon over ten years ago.

Fortunately, their family survived.

Their father abandoned them and fled, and their mother died of the plague not long after.

There are only two children left, Li Hao and Li Rongrong.

Over the years, they have often been hungry and full. As the two grew up, it was time for their bodies to grow, and their appetites became bigger and bigger.

After all, half a child, eating a poor old man is not just talk.

Fortunately, in the past two years, good-hearted people often helped them, so that the two survived.

Li Hao looked at his sister who was suffering, his face was full of worry.

In this era, with their family conditions, every time they get sick means parting from life to death.

You can only rely on hard resistance, if you can't resist, you will die.

"Sister, blame brother for being useless."

Li Hao wet the rag, then put the rag on Li Rongrong's forehead, and said with a sob.

"Brother cough cough, I feel so uncomfortable, am I going to die?"

Li Rongrong's face was flushed, she was coughing while talking, and her mind was a little blurred.

"No, it will be fine, it will be fine!
I will not let you die! "

Li Hao couldn't hold back anymore, two lines of hot tears flowed from his eyes.

Since childhood, the siblings have depended on each other for life. Once the younger sister dies, there will be only one person left.

Li Hao will never tolerate such a thing happening!
"Go to sleep, it won't be hard to sleep.

Brother assures you, when you wake up, your illness will be cured! "

Li Hao comforted him softly, and after a while, after watching Li Rongrong fall asleep, he got up softly, bowed his body, and left the thatched hut.

The only way Li Hao could think of was to find a treasure in the ruins of the imperial city, then sell it and ask a doctor to treat his sister.

Although everyone knows that there must be a lot of property underground in the imperial city, it is not so easy to find.

The easy-to-find property has been discovered long ago in these years.

But Li Hao had no choice.

If you can't find the treasure, then your sister will die.

Along the way, Li Hao walked into the ruins of the imperial city with ease, and began to search around with anticipation in his eyes.

The scorching high temperature, just for a moment, made Li Hao sweat profusely.

Pursing his lips, Li Hao wiped off some sweat indiscriminately, and continued to search among the ruins.

On the edge of the town, in the shantytowns stretching for thousands of meters.

"The rations at home are only enough for three days. I'll wait in the ruins of the imperial city to see if I can earn the rest of the rations."

An ugly old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said to an old woman.

"Be careful, pay attention to safety, take this multigrain cake with you, and eat it when you are hungry."

The old woman tirelessly instructed, took out a large pancake made of unknown food, and handed it to the old man.

The multigrain cake is very hard after cooling, and the taste is no different from chewing earth and rocks.

But for people living in shantytowns, even such multigrain cakes are a rare delicacy for them.

Chang Kun took the grain cake, carried a simple hoe made by punching holes with a broken knife and tied it with a rope, and went out.

This outfit looks professional.

Many people living in shantytowns can only dig the soil by hand or with a sharpened stick.

In this way, the harvest is naturally not as good as that of Chang Kun.

People like Chang Kun, who can still have a few days of rations at home, can already be regarded as upper-class residents in shanty towns.

After Chang Kun went out, he didn't walk towards the ruins of the imperial city.

After walking for a while in the complex maze-like shanty town, Chang Kun stopped in front of a thatched house.

With a smile on his ugly face, he lifted the curtain of the door and stooped into the dilapidated thatched house.

Looking at Li Rongrong lying on the hay, Chang Kun stretched his hand into his arms, took out the multigrain cake, put it on the side of the bed formed by several wooden planks with hay, and took off his clothes impatiently.

After a while, low growls and painful moans came from the thatched cottage.

After a while, Chang Kun lifted the straw curtain and was about to leave when he collided with a middle-aged man.

"Yo, old man Chang, you came here really early today.

Tsk tsk, at such an advanced age, you are not afraid of dying on this woman one day. "

The middle-aged man greeted Chang Kun familiarly.

When he looked at Chang Kun, there was envy in his eyes. If he could still have this ability at Chang Kun's age, that would be great.

"Aren't you the same? Why, aren't you afraid that the yellow-faced woman at home will find out?"

Chang Kun joked with a smile on his old face.

The two stood outside the door and exchanged a few words, and the middle-aged man got into the thatched hut impatiently.

"Fuck, is there any morality? Do you have a sense of public morality?!

A bunch of bastards, they don't clean up every time after they're done! "

The middle-aged man looked at Li Rongrong lying on the hay, his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but curse.

The middle-aged man scolded and scolded, but his movements were not slow at all, and he took off his clothes with three strokes.

Don't look at the middle-aged man scolding Chang Kun for being immoral and lacking in public morality.

But when it was his turn, he was no different from Chang Kun.

"Like a dead person, I don't move, but I'm exhausted, and I'm just a dick today."

After getting dressed, the middle-aged man took out two cornbreads and put them down. After thinking for a while, he took one back.

Seeing that Li Rongrong didn't refute, the middle-aged man thought it was Li Rongrong's fault and acquiesced.

The middle-aged man who saved a cornbread was in a good mood, humming a tune he didn't know where he heard it, and left unsteadily.

Every now and then in the past two years, some kind-hearted people would send over some food. Li Hao just thought that his brother and sister were lucky enough to meet such kind-hearted people.

But where are there so many kind-hearted people?

Everyone has been reduced to living in shantytowns, and no one's life is easy. Where can I get the extra food to give to strangers? !

The truth is harsh.

This is the truth of the matter.

The food sent by the so-called kind-hearted people was actually Li Rongrong's own body in exchange for it!
Li Hao spends most of his time every day looking for valuable items in the ruins of the imperial city, so Li Hao has been kept in the dark until now, and he doesn't know anything about it.

Not long after, another person came outside the thatched cottage.

Usually, these people would only look for Li Rongrong once every three or five days. After all, they were not rich, so they could only live frugally, secretly saving a little ration for Li Rongrong behind the back of their families.

But today I don't know what happened, as if they had discussed it, they gathered together to find Li Rongrong.

Li Rongrong was seriously ill and had a high fever.

This caused Li Rongrong's condition to get worse and worse, and her popularity was like a gossamer.

But no one noticed Li Rongrong's strangeness, maybe they didn't care.

After all, in their eyes, Li Rongrong was just a commodity for them to vent, a tool for bartering.

In the ruins of the imperial city, Li Hao, who had been busy for a long time, found nothing.

At this time, Li Hao was thirsty, hungry, and exhausted, but when he thought of his sick sister who was still at home, Li Hao dared not stop.

He was afraid that once he stopped and couldn't find something of sufficient value to exchange for money, his sister would be completely hopeless.

As time passed, the sky began to darken.

Li Hao's hands were full of large and small wounds. These wounds were all caused by Li Hao digging the ground full of tiles and porcelain fragments with his hands.

But Li Hao did one thing repeatedly, as if he didn't feel any pain.

He kept digging the ruins with his hands, hoping to find valuable items in the next moment.

But as time went by, Li Hao's hope was shattered little by little.

Can't find it, can't dig it!
Not even a copper coin was dug up!
Li Hao let out a miserable laugh, and sat down on the ground, the anger in his heart was vented all of a sudden, and the energy of the whole person seemed to dissipate at this moment.

The whole person broke down and burst into tears.

Although Li Hao is an older brother, he only came out of his mother's womb a moment earlier than Li Rongrong, and he was only a 15-year-old boy. The pressure accumulated over a long period of time finally completely crushed Li Hao at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky had already darkened, and Li Hao struggled to get up.

Once the emotions have been vented, it is over, and the days will continue.

My sister is still at home waiting for me to go back.

Li Hao staggered towards his home.

"thump!"

Li Hao tripped and fell over.

There was a piercing pain on his forehead, and blood flowed down his cheeks.

But Li Hao didn't care at all. After wiping his face with his hands, he stared at the thing that broke his forehead with burning eyes.

He knows this thing!

Three years ago, someone dug up this thing and sold it for hundreds of taels of silver!

Li Hao's heart beat violently, he didn't need hundreds of taels of silver, he only needed to count taels of silver!

As long as you count two silver coins, you can save your sister's life!

Li Haosheng was afraid that he wanted to save his sister so much that he had hallucinations, so he lay down on the ground and looked carefully.

After looking at it again and again, Li Hao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Yes, it's ebony!
My sister is saved! "

Li Hao was ecstatic, without any hesitation, Li Hao started digging with hands and feet.

It wasn't until the climax of the moon that Wumu revealed its full appearance under Li Hao's excavation.

It was a coffin made of ebony!

Cracks spread on the coffin, as if it might fall apart at any time.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Old man, if you have any knowledge, please forgive me.

I was also forced to, which disturbed your deep sleep.

I have a destiny with you, and you open the door to my convenience.

I swear here, from now on, every year and festival, I will add a stick of incense to you. "

Li Hao swallowed, knocked his head three times against the coffin, and without hesitation, flew up and kicked hard on the coffin.

Li Hao is not stupid, he can't move such a big coffin back.

On the contrary, even if it can be moved, with the size of the coffin, if you carry the coffin around the market, you may die at home tonight.

Li Hao's goal is the funeral objects of the coffin owner.
