Chapter 404 A coincidence
No more food?

Lin Zhiyu stood up in a hurry: "I understand, I want to go outside the city to have a look.

No, go to the food store first. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhiyu raised his feet and left the stall.

Chu Nianshan suddenly felt a little lost. Regardless of what the stall owner said behind him, he chased after him: "It's a mess outside the city. You go home first and I'll handle it."

"Some things can only be understood in person if you go there and see them in person."

Lin Zhiyu kept walking, feeling annoyed.

I had been distracted by Zhou Zijin for the past two days, and I actually forgot about such an important thing!

When we arrived at the grain store, it was true as the stall owner said, the rice vat had bottomed out, but no one came to replenish the stock.

"Girl, do you want to buy rice?"

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, and he looked sad when he saw customers coming.

"There is only sorghum rice left here. We don't sell the rest."

Lin Zhiyu stared blankly: "Why is this happening?"

"The world's food supply is tightly tied to the capital. At this time, where can it be our turn?"

The shopkeeper looked around and sighed.

The price of rice has risen to a thousand dollars per stone. This is even the case in Qingshan City, which is closest to the capital, but what about other places?
Lin Zhiyu felt a chill running down his spine as he walked out of the city step by step.

Outside the city, there are groups of refugees. They are not allowed to enter the city, so they have to sit under the city gate, wrapped in rags with hay underneath. Even so, some of them are still pale from the cold.

Several servants of the Wang family were serving porridge under a shed. There was only a little rice soup left in the pot. There were still a few people who stuck their heads in and climbed in to lick the food without caring about hygiene.

"Weren't you fine a few days ago?" Lin Zhiyu was speechless.

A little boy next to him staggered to Chu Nianshan and carefully tugged on his clothes: "Brother, do you have anything to eat? My mother is dying."

The boy was still wearing single clothes in winter and had frostbite on his feet.

Chu Nianshan was not good at dealing with such situations, so he subconsciously looked at Lin Zhiyu.

She seemed to be talking to a woman in the corner.

What would she do if it were her?
Chu Nianshan thought for a while, took off his cloak and wrapped it around the little boy.

"They are from Jiangzhou." Lin Zhiyu's voice suddenly sounded in front of him.

There, it was already a dead city.

The people from Yaogu probably stayed there, so they didn't come to Qingshan City immediately.

"It's because I was superficial before. Every mouth needs food. The food in the city won't last long."

Lin Zhiyu knelt down and handed the little boy two small candied fruits.

"This is all I have. Just hold on, and I'll figure it out."

The little boy took it calmly, swallowed with a gulp, held the candied fruit in his hand, and ran towards a thin woman with a sallow complexion.

Chu Nianshan watched the little boy carefully feed the candy into the woman's mouth, and the dusty memories in his heart surged.

If that woman is still here...

He looked away and stopped thinking about her.

Maybe Lin Zhiyu didn't know, no, she would never know in her life, that the night she met her, he had just strangled her biological mother to death with his own hands.

"Let's go back and head to the capital early tomorrow morning."

There was sudden warmth in the palm of his hand, and it was Lin Zhiyu who took his hand.

……

Dofu Inn.

Lin Minghua sat in front of the table and glanced at the dressing table.

On the dressing table, there is a set of exquisitely crafted hair and face.

It was Chu Nianshan who had someone send it.

The matter of making the head noodle was just a pretense, but I didn’t expect that someone would really come to Jinlou in the afternoon.

It was as if he couldn't wait to establish a relationship with Zhou Zijin so that he would no longer have an excuse to go to the Jinlou and the Wang family.

Lin Minghua hesitated again and again and said, "Brother Zijin, let's go to the capital."

The food in front of me was just two or three steamed buns and a plate of side dishes, which were bland and tasteless. Since what happened at noon, Zhou Zijin hasn't spoken to her all afternoon, and Lin Minghua is always worried.

Zhou Zijin sat in his seat without saying a word, as if he didn't hear Lin Minghua's words at all.

Are you being suspicious?

The man named Chu Nianshan looked very close to Lin Zhiyu.

And his appearance did cause her a lot of trouble.

Maybe it's time to leave.

"Let's leave early tomorrow morning." Zhou Zijin couldn't eat anything and stood up straight away.

Lin Minghua felt happy and quickly asked: "Then the day when we get married should be postponed?"

Originally, she could have simply said that she was his wife, but Lin Minghua had an idea in her heart, which was to put on a wedding dress and marry the person she liked.

Weddings are of great significance to a woman, and so is Lin Minghua.

"I... haven't thought about it yet." Zhou Zijin said hoarsely, "Every time I see Lin Zhiyu, my mood is very wrong.

If I go by what the story says, I should still love her. "

"Why can't you be sure that this emotion is hatred?"

Lin Minghua walked up behind him and hugged his tight waist.

She knew that Zhou Zijin was in a mess now.

Keep it chaotic, the more chaotic the better.

Only she will be by his side, and the only one he can see clearly is her.

"I'll take you to the capital first."

Zhou Zijin's chest shook, and Lin Minghua's body stiffened.

……

The closer we get to the capital, the more refugees there are on the road.

The capital is a land of wealth, a gathering place for the world's dignitaries, and a paradise on earth.

On the way, we met officials who were escorting relief grain supplies. They talked and laughed slowly, as if they were from two different worlds.

In just one day, we arrived in the capital.

Lin Zhiyu took the title deed to the house and settled in an inconspicuous inn near the outside of the city.

"Are you two together?" The waiter cracked melon seeds and looked at the two of them sideways.

Chu Nianshan put the money on the counter: "A guest room."

The waiter collected the money, found a key from a bunch of keys, and handed it to Chu Nianshan's hand: "Fourth floor, Ding Mao."

Ding Mao was the house number. After Chu Nianshan confirmed it was correct, he took Lin Zhiyu's luggage and went upstairs.

Afraid that she would misunderstand, Chu Nianshan lowered his head and said, "I will guard the door at night. After all, the capital is Qin Xiao's territory. If there is anything, I can take care of it."

After all, this place is close to the city gate. If there are bandits or people with bad intentions...

Chu Nianshan's eyes were sharper.

Two hours later, another man and woman came to the inn.

The waiter naturally thought that they were together, and threw out a key: "It's the same fourth floor, Ding Chen."

Zhou Zijin stretched out his index finger and knocked on the counter: "Two rooms."

"We're not together." The waiter muttered and handed him another key.

Before Lin Minghua went upstairs, Zhuang Ruo asked unintentionally: "Did someone come just now?"

The waiter then looked up and saw Lin Minghua's hand touching the hairpin on his head intentionally or unintentionally.

Chai Zi looked ordinary, but the waiter's eyes tightened.

into the night.

Chu Nianshan walked around outside the door. After confirming that it was safe, he walked back through the back door.

He was about to go upstairs when he saw a woman standing in front of Lin Zhiyu's door. She looked at the house number carefully, as if she was memorizing something.

Hearing the sound of footsteps on the stairs, the woman got into the next room like a cat.

Chu Nianshan waited for a while before going up to the door. After thinking for a moment, he changed the positions of the two house numbers "Ding Mao" and "Ding Chen".
