Chapter 630

Guo Shier held a big bowl of meat soup and ate his steamed bun while drinking. He asked, "Aunt Lan, how much money do we have left?"

Aunt Lan and Aunt Xin discussed for a while. Because they were both housekeepers, they were also in charge of money. Aunt Lan said, "We have more than four thousand talisman money on hand."

Guo Shier said, "From tomorrow onwards, use all the money to buy food, don't leave a single bit. Junior Leopard, tomorrow, go and exchange all the mission rewards we received for food. Don't take anything else. "

"Marinate all the meat and place it in the storage room. It won't rot easily there. Also, buy some flour."

Aunt Lan said in astonishment, "Shier, why do we need so much food? More than four thousand talisman money, we can buy … uh, we can buy a lot of food … why do we need so much food? "

Guo Shier laughed bitterly and said, "Aunt Lan, do you know that Savage Pass has fallen?"

Aunt Lan nodded and said, "Savage Pass has fallen … but we are in the inner sect, so it should be very safe here. Eh, Shier, what does the fall of Savage Pass have to do with buying food?"

Guo Shier said, "Savage Pass has fallen, which means that the barbarians have invaded the pass. Ye Guancheng can't hold on, so the barbarians will definitely attack here. Of course, with the strength of the North Fu Men, I believe that the final victor will be the North Fu Men, but … when the barbarians attack here, they will cut off the supply line. If it's for a short period of time, there won't be a problem, but if it's for a long period of time … then food will definitely be the most scarce thing. "

"If we don't prepare now, we might have to starve when the time comes."

Aunt Lan looked at Guo Shier in disbelief. Was he really a nine year old kid? He was so thoughtful. This reasoning was very simple, but if they didn't think of it, who would go and buy food? She said, "Shier, you are really amazing. Aunt Lan will go and buy food tomorrow."

Guo Shier said, "Aunt Lan, you have to be careful when buying food. Try not to attract other people's attention. Don't advertise it everywhere, or it will cause panic. Don't buy too much at once, buy in small quantities and buy from multiple locations." He had experienced the Great Famine in his previous life, and he knew what it meant to have no response even if he called for help from the heavens and earth. Even now, he still shuddered at the thought of it. The feeling of starvation was deeply engraved in the depths of his soul, and he did not want to experience those days of fear, panic, despair, and sadness again.

Huo Bao and the other children did not understand what Guo Shier was saying, but they understood using mission rewards to exchange for food. All they had to do was carry out the orders. As for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, Guo Shier had to figure out a way.

The next day, Guo Shi 'er sat in a carriage and was escorted by Luo Zhan to his master Luo Jie's manor.

Luo Jie had already understood Guo Shi 'er's performance in Ye Guancheng. He was very satisfied, especially when Guo Shi' er actually killed two savages, which made him even happier. He was very happy to see Guo Shi 'er.

Unexpectedly, Guo Shi 'er's first words to Luo Jie made the old man speechless. Alas, I was only nine years old, and I fought with savages … Isn't it too exaggerated? " Sigh, I'm only nine years old and I'm already fighting with savages … Isn't that too exaggerated? " He continued, "Fortunately, I had the treasured talisman that Master gave me. Hehe, Master, do you have any more treasured talismans? Luo Jie laughed and said, "Haha, you are indeed my disciple!

As for the talismans … You are still too young to control so many talismans. Let's talk about it later. " Guo Shier knew how precious the talismans were. He just found an excuse and said, "Master, I don't have money …"

As for the talismans … You are still too young to control so many talismans. Let's talk about it later. "

Luo Jie didn't lack money. He didn't care and said, "How much do you want? You can ask Hu Changlin for it. Come on, tell me about Ye Guancheng. "

Guo Shier smiled bitterly and said, "Master, I want a lot of money!"

Luo Jie said, "Well, how much do you want? Just take it! " He didn't care at all. As a great talisman master, his assets were among the top in the Northern Fu Men. Moreover, Guo Shier was his favorite disciple. If the little guy wanted money, he certainly wouldn't be stingy.

Guo Shier had no choice but to say, "Master, why don't you ask me why I want money?"

Luo Jie asked, "Why do you want money?"

Guo Shi 'er said straightforwardly, "To buy food."

Luo Jie was not Aunt Lan. He thought for a little bit and understood. He said in surprise, "You mean … the Northern Fu Men are facing a food crisis?"

Guo Shier nodded vigorously and said, "If there is no absolutely safe logistical supply line, I think … there will not be enough food."

Luo Jie asked, "So you want to stock up on food?"

Guo Shier sighed and said, "If it's just me, it doesn't matter. But I have a group of people to feed, so I have to prepare for a rainy day."

Very quickly, Luo Jie came to a realization. He asked curiously, "You're using … borrowing money to remind me?"

Guo Shier smiled and said, "I didn't remind you. Master thought of it himself."

Luo Jie was secretly grateful. He didn't argue. He immediately called the housekeeper and began to secretly stock up on food. He knew that his family was big and had a large population. Once there was a shortage of food, he won't be able to buy it even if he has money. Should he let this old man go out to hunt? That won't solve the problem.

"Shier, you go to Hu Changlin's place to get the money. We'll talk after you're done."

Guo Shier didn't take much. He only took out 10,000 talisman money. He was afraid that he can't afford it. Even if he can take out 100,000 talisman money, he can't buy that much food. So, 10,000 talisman money was his limit.

He hurried home with the money. With money, everything was easy to do. All the people in the family went out to buy food. Carriages of food and meat were transported back. Aunt Lan commanded her people to marinate the meat and carry the flour to the storage room. The so-called storage room was a room made of talisman, which can store a lot of things.

The purchasing power of 10,000 talisman money was very scary. It took three days to spend that much money. At this time, the price of food began to rise. Without waiting for the people to react, the food began to be in shortage. The price rose three times a day because the barbarians had already reached the Northern Fu City, where the headquarters of the Northern Fu Men was located.

The panic buying trend became more and more intense. The Northern Fu Men quickly took measures to control the distribution of food. All the shops that sold food were controlled. All the food was purchased and then rationed according to the needs.

Guo Shier went back to his practice.

Aunt Lan and Aunt Xin's heart was filled with emotion. Shier, this child was simply a God. How could he be so accurate? All the food shops on the street were closed. All the shops that sold food were also closed. Now, it was not a problem of rising prices. There was no food to sell at all.

When the food allocated to the apprentices was distributed, Aunt Lan found out that the food was less than half of the original amount. When they received the food, they were specifically asked to save as much as possible. Because the next distribution may be less.

Some clever people organized people to hunt in the mountains to make up for the lack of food.

The morale of the people started to waver. However, the Northern Fu Men were strong enough and had stored a large amount of food. It was just that it was not suitable for them to distribute the food. No one could be sure when the supply line would be restored. Thus, the rationing system had to be implemented. This was the Northern Fu Men's only choice.

Guo Shier no longer cared about the food problem. He only focused on his practice. Huo Bao and the rest also went to the Body Tempering Hall to train and learn the techniques of the Talisman Warriors. As for the task of defending North Talisman City, that was not the job of these apprentices.

… …

After a month, the situation of the Northern Fu Men gradually stabilized. Although there were still large numbers of barbarians in the wilderness, the number of barbarians attacking the city decreased. After all, the Northern Fu Men were strong. After killing hundreds and thousands of barbarians, the barbarians were also a little afraid.

Because of the large number of barbarians in the wilderness, the supply line was completely cut off. Although they had organized people to transport them by force, the losses were shocking. The Northern Fu Men had no choice but to send out large numbers of teams to hunt the barbarians outside the city. Any team that left the city to hunt would receive sufficient food.

The lack of food dissatisfied the Talisman Warriors who ate like tigers and wolves. They were all dizzy from hunger. So when this mission was announced, it immediately attracted large numbers of Talisman Warriors. Attracted by the food, large numbers of Talisman Warriors left the city to participate in the hunting of the barbarians.

On this day, Guo Shier went to the Rune Pill Pavilion of the Talisman Warrior Hall. He wanted to buy cultivation talismans. This time, a Talisman Warrior followed him. Luo Zhan had already returned to accept the mission. He was a Talisman Warrior and was the backbone of the Northern Fu Men. There were many things that needed to be done by them.

The Talisman Warrior following Guo Shier was called Zhang Dakui. He was very strong. After a while, he would be able to use the bone talismans to refine his body and then advance to Talisman Warrior.

"Uncle Zhang, when you go back in the afternoon, find Aunt Lan and bring some food home."

Zhang Dakui's home was in North Talisman City. He had a first wife and a second wife, and four children. Relying on his income, he lived a good life. But in the present situation, the food at home was not enough. It was all thanks to him listening to Guo Shier and hoarding a lot of food. Otherwise, he would have run out of food long ago.

"Shier, thank you."

The food he was given was only enough for him. But there were six mouths at home. How could it be enough? So he had been worrying for a long time.

The Rune Pill Pavilion was a branch of the Talisman Warrior Hall. There was an internal trading area that mainly sold all kinds of Rune Pills. When Guo Shier walked in, he found that there were many people here today.

Soon, Guo Shi 'er noticed a strange phenomenon. Many people were carrying talisman bags in their hands, and they seemed to be doing something sneaky.

At this time, a person quietly came to his side and said in a small voice, "Come here … follow me …"

Guo Shier said in puzzlement, "Follow you? What's the matter? "

The person took out a talisman bag and waved it in front of Guo Shier. He said, "Let's talk over there." The person had the identity token of an inner sect disciple on his chest. Guo Shier was curious and followed him to the side. He asked, "Speak, what's the matter?"
