Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 47
The next day.

Changlong Escort.

Meng Lei summoned everyone and rewarded Zhao Ya and his subordinates in public.

What Zhao Ya got was a full 50 taels of silver and half a month's vacation.

For a moment, everyone cast envious eyes.

As for Tan Dong and others, they each have their own generous rewards.

Meng Lei just wanted to tell everyone through this incident that as long as you treat the Escort sincerely, the Escort will never treat you badly.

After the announcement, Zhao Ya declined people's invitations, and left the escort agency early on the excuse that he was too tired.

After leaving the Escort, Zhao Ya went home to disguise himself, and then went to the pharmacy to inquire about the medicinal materials needed for the Buxue Powder.

To be on the safe side, each pharmacy Zhao Ya only asked two or three of them at most.

After a long time like this, Zhao Ya came out of the last drugstore with a hint of disappointment on his face.

Because Zhao Ya discovered that most of the pharmacies didn't have the medicinal materials recorded on the blood-enriching powder.

In the words of a pharmacy shopkeeper, the medicinal materials Zhao Ya needs are basically the internal organs or blood of various wild animals or even exotic animals, which are simply not accessible to ordinary pharmacies.

Even if there is, the price is extremely expensive.

Zhao Ya had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​refining blood-enriching powder.

Fortunately, the Escort now provides a Qi and Blood Pill every three days, together with the Tan family's dried earthworm meat and the green bamboo snake he bought at the ghost market, it is still enough.

Zhao Ya walked home while thinking.

"Master, have pity on me, I haven't eaten for three days."

From time to time on the road, beggars stop passers-by from begging.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Ya felt heavy in his heart.

Now there are more refugees and beggars in the city, even worse than last year.

Moreover, Zhao Ya knew that the situation outside the city was even worse, and countless refugees were pouring in here.

If things go on like this, sooner or later something big will happen.

Zhao Ya has no good way to do this, he can only hoard some food and supplies as much as possible, in case of emergencies.

For the next few days, Zhao Ya stayed behind closed doors and practiced kung fu at home all day long.

Until this day, Tan Dong came to the house to look for Zhao Ya.

"Brother Zhao, this is next month's dried earthworm meat and a letter from my father." Tan Dong said.

Zhao Ya took the letter and read it, then he was slightly taken aback.

Because Tan Ziwang said in the letter that the supply of earthworm jerky will be reduced a lot from this month.

As for the reason, Tan Ziwang only vaguely mentioned a production limit.

But Zhao Ya understood that if the reason was really that simple, then Tan Ziwang would not write a letter to explain himself.

Combined with the current situation, Zhao Ya vaguely guessed something.

"What did my father say in the letter?"

Seeing Zhao Ya's serious expression, Tan Dong hurriedly asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, it means that the supply of jerky may be limited in the future!" Zhao Ya didn't hide anything.

After listening, Tan Dong was silent for a moment, and then sighed.

"This world is getting more and more difficult. Just the day before yesterday, a Goulan I frequented closed down."

"The hook bar is still closed?"

"People don't have any money in their pockets, and if they don't want to spend money, why don't they close the door! It's a pity for girls like Cui Lili Hong Yujuaner!"

Tan Dong was obviously in a bad mood.

This dart walk touched him a lot, and after he came back, the Goulan he used to go to was closed again, which made him even more depressed.

After a long sigh, Tan Dong left.

A few days later, the supply of Qi and Blood Pills in the Escort was also cut off.

Meng Lei explained that he had previously purchased the Qi and Blood Pill from the Yang Family in the inner city through his connections, but now the Yang Family suddenly strictly controlled the Qi and Blood Pill and no longer sold it outside.

Meng Lei had no choice but to apologize to Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya naturally didn't mind, instead he comforted Meng Lei a few words, and then left the escort agency.

In just a few days, the number of pedestrians on the street became much less.

There are also many stores on both sides that are closed, which is a depressed scene.

Zhao Ya knew that the situation was becoming more and more severe.

The Tan family will be able to supply less and less dried meat, and now the Escort's Qi and Blood Pill has been cut off again.

It seems that I have to go to the ghost market tonight.

In the evening of that day, Zhao Ya changed into black clothes, covered his face, and then came to the ghost market.

He has been to this ghost city many times, so he is familiar with it.

But this time it was different, because the ghost market turned out to be empty, and most of the stalls didn't even come out.

There are only a few sundries on the few stalls, and few people even look at them.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya's heart tensed up, and after looking around, he didn't find the meat stall he used to buy.

It can be seen that even this ghost city has been affected by the current situation.

In desperation, Zhao Ya had no choice but to return empty-handed.

After returning home, Zui'er hadn't fallen asleep yet, so she couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Zhao Ya came back so early.

"Brother Xiaoya, why are you back so early?"

"Well, there is no one in the ghost market, so I can only come back."

Then Zhao Ya took out the box containing the jerky. In addition to the earthworm jerky provided by the Tan family, there were only a few dried green bamboo snakes that he needed most, which probably wouldn't last even ten days.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya couldn't help frowning.

Now that my cultivation is at a critical moment, if the supply of flesh and blood is cut off at this time, the entry will be greatly affected.

Just in troubled times, everyone is striving to be the first, not to mention not making progress, even if the progress is slower than others, they will fall behind others, and eventually become a fish at the mercy of others.

Of course Zhao Ya could not accept this result.

So he was silent for a moment, then made a decision.

Now that all sources of flesh and blood have been cut off, it is up to him to figure out a way.

Isn't most of the medicinal materials recorded on the Buxue powder are the internal organs and blood of wild animals or strange animals?

Since you can't buy it, you can go hunting in the mountains outside the city by yourself.

Anyway, we can't sit still.

Ah!
That's it.

After making up his mind, Zhao Ya finally felt at ease.

He looked up and saw that Zui'er was looking at him worriedly, and couldn't help smiling.

"Okay, it's okay, it's just some minor problems, it's impossible to trouble you, brother Xiaoya and me."

Only then did Zui'er heave a sigh of relief, and nodded slightly.

"Brother Xiaoya."

"Ok?"

"It's getting late, go to bed!"

"it is good!"

The night passed, and the next morning, Zhao Ya got up early, and then began to prepare the things needed for hunting in the city.

Although Zhao Ya had never hunted before, fortunately, he had watched many videos of survival in the wild before.

This knowledge may not be useful in this world, but common sense about survival should be common.

Zhao Ya packed the water and food, wrapped the scythe in oilcloth, checked the hand crossbow and the lime bag, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he told Zui'er, and then quietly left the house.
