Chu Yunsheng had never thought that one day, he would be beaten up by a group of aunties like a thief!
They used all kinds of things, such as carrying poles, hoes, sticks … It was completely barbaric and violent.
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop, if you hit me again, I will fight back! " Chu Yunsheng held his arm and shouted. Even a rabbit would bite if it was forced into a corner, so he couldn't just ignore it.
"Fight back?" One of the aunties who was the leader of the group widened her eyes and showed an imposing manner that was not in line with that of a Sichuan woman. She said, "You old bastard, your hair is already white, and you still dare to fight back? You people from Lao Wang Ba Village are so unreasonable! Don't think that we are easy to bully. "
At this time, another woman hesitated and said, "Third aunt, why do I think this person doesn't look like one? His voice doesn't sound right, he doesn't sound like one of us. Is there a mistake? "
"Maybe he is a refugee?" Finally, one of the aunties said something.
"Okay, okay. Let's stop first. Grab it and let me have a look." The leading auntie didn't have many opinions, so she just agreed.
After they stopped fighting, Chu Yunsheng noticed that the sticks and carrying poles around him were no longer moving, so he carefully put down his hand. Although this kind of attack was basically negligible for Yuan Tian stage two cultivators, anyone who was attacked for no reason would feel a little unhappy. So for some reason, he muttered, "When there was an earthquake, I donated 500 yuan!"
"Huh, it really isn't Lao Wang Ba Village!" The leading aunties suddenly felt bad. Seeing Chu Yunsheng's silver hair, scarred face, and unshaven face, she thought that he was not young anymore, so she hesitated and said, "old man, are you okay?"
Looking at this group of women who were wearing shabby clothes and had tough faces, before Chu Yunsheng had time to say anything, he heard a group of men running towards him from the street below. They were holding all kinds of "weapons" in their hands, and they shouted, "What's going on? What's wrong? Lao Wang Ba that bastard sent people to rob the hill again? "
An aunty standing at the back kept gesturing to him and said in a low voice, "it's a mistake, it's a mistake!"
"Old man, where did you get this from?" A woman with a northern accent helped Chu Yunsheng tidy up his messy clothes and tried to ease the atmosphere.
Chu Yunsheng suppressed the anger in his heart. Good things could be turned into bad things, and bad things could also be turned into good things. Although he was beaten up, these people seemed to be local residents, and they could bring him the most urgent information. So he tidied up his messy hair and asked, "what kind of place is this?"
Only then did everyone see clearly that this person did not seem to be that old. On the contrary, he seemed to be a young man. It was just that the scars on his face were too deep. Who knew how much hardship he had endured to survive until today?
However, no one would sympathize with him. This age was too difficult! Seeing too much, seeing too much, one's own life might not be that honorable, and seeing others' corpses strewn across the wilderness was not that strange. Naturally, no one had the time or the mood to sympathize with the sufferings of others. Those things were mostly the same, and it was likely that calluses would be formed from listening to them.
"This is Shu Province. Do you see that big mountain? Over there is the mountain city, but it is now abandoned." The woman with the northern accent pointed to a direction and said.
Chu Yunsheng looked into the distance, but the light was too dim. He could only vaguely see the vague shadow of the mountain, and nothing else.
"Are there still people in Shu Province?" The only thing that Chu Yunsheng could be sure of was that the ancient book and the map were indeed pointing in that direction. If the mountain city had been abandoned, then it could only be Shu Province, which was further west.
The group of people suddenly burst into laughter. The leading aunt said, "of course, if the provincial capital is also gone, we will not be able to survive!"
Chu Yunsheng suddenly felt a little strange and said, "since Shu Province is still there, why don't you go there? Isn't it very dangerous to stay here? "
The leading aunt said helplessly, "who doesn't want to go there? But there are so many people in Shu Province, and Shu Province is only a small city, how can it accommodate so many people? Those who don't have power, connections, and skills can't even get into the city. They can only stay outside. But there are insects outside, so they will all run away. Who is stupid enough to fight with their own lives? "
The woman with the northern accent said, "the third aunt, I think this place is quite good. The insects are busy fighting with Shu Province, so they don't have time to care about us outside. Although it is not as safe as inside, it is still enough for us to survive."
"That's true!" the leading aunt nodded her head and said.
Chu Yunsheng didn't know what to say just now, so he quickly asked, "can people still enter Shu Province now?"
If Shu Province was completely surrounded by insects, then it would be a bit troublesome. The only way to enter Shu Province was to enter from the sky, but if that was the case, it was very likely that they would be exposed. Before they knew who had the map, once they were exposed, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
"Enter? Even a mouse can't get in! Two days ago, there was a group of people who were expelled from the city. They said that they had done something wrong, but who knows, they are just a group of idiots. They must have lost their minds after staying in there for too long. They thought that they would die if they were kicked out, so they were crying outside … "the leading aunt snorted.
"Is there really no other way?" Chu Yunsheng asked. If he could avoid flying in the air, he would avoid flying in the air. This was the last step that he could take.
The leading aunty looked at Chu Yunsheng in surprise and said, "young man, either you have some connections in there, or you are a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a manipulator?"
"Energy, an energy manipulator," a slightly younger woman added for her.
"Yes, yes, this kind of" master ", you have to be a" master ", do you understand? As long as you pass their detailed inspection, you can get a permanent residence in the provincial capital. However, I think it's best if you don't think about it. Give up on that thought. " No matter how the leading aunt looked at Chu Yunsheng, he didn't look like one of those powerful manipulators. Instead, he looked like an unlucky guy.
Of course, Chu Yunsheng couldn't let Shu Du city do a detailed inspection on him. He didn't know whether there were still aliens living in the city. But judging from the fact that Shu Du city had not been breached yet, it was very likely that there were still aliens living in the city. He couldn't take this risk. Otherwise, before he could even enter the city, he would be killed by those aliens.
"Young man, why are you in such a hurry to get into the city?" The leading aunt with a northern accent asked curiously. She had just said that before the insects broke through Shu Du city, it was still possible to live in the outside world.
Chu Yunsheng casually made up an excuse, "I have relatives living in there, but they are all ordinary people, so I don't have any connections."
"Well, there is another way." The leading aunt with a northern accent thought for a second and said, "the insects have only surrounded three sides of Shu Du city. The mountain area on the west side has not been completely blocked. Every ten days to half a month, some" combat teams "will come out from the mountain road and use the insect's meat to buy energy appendages from us. If you can afford enough energy appendages, they might be able to help you sneak into the city for two days."
"Combat teams?" Chu Yunsheng was a little confused. Shu Du city seemed to have formed a stable and unique new social structure, and completed a new division of labor system.
"Yes, there are manipulators, and there are also ordinary people. But they all have weapons, and they also sell weapons. Now, people don't even have enough to eat, so naturally, very few people buy weapons. Most of them are trading the insect's meat. Shu Du city has always needed energy appendages, the more the better. But the combat teams are actually like the old people talking about before liberation." The leading aunt's explanation was very vivid. She just described the "combat teams" as "ordinary people".
Chu Yunsheng thought that sneaking into the city was a good idea, but if he needed to buy some energy appendages, then it would be a bit troublesome. He was running out of time.
Suddenly, a commotion came from behind the group of people, "the supervisor is here, supervisor Shen is here, hurry up, get out of the way, get ready to start work!"
Before the voice died away, a strong man, who was nearly 190cm tall, carrying a large green instrument on his back, stopped in front of Chu Yunsheng and the others, and shouted, "you all know that the price of meat in this city has increased, so my supervisor's fee also needs to increase. I won't say much, increase it by another 10%!"
"Brother Shen, if you increase it by another 10%, we won't be able to survive." the leading man, who had just arrived, said awkwardly.
"That won't do, the supervisor also needs to eat, right?" The tall man rubbed his belly and said, "I am already very kind, the price of meat has increased by 50%, I only increased it by 10%."
"But, you have already taken 70%, if you increase it by another 10%, the remaining 20% is not enough to feed us, right?" The leading man, who was standing in front of the tall man, did not have the same imposing manner as before.
"That, I don't care, this 70% is not mine alone! Besides, if you have the ability, you don't need the instrument, you can find the appendages yourself! "the tall man rolled his eyes, as if he was determined to kill these bumpkins.
At this time, the shrewish leading woman also did not know what to do, she rubbed her hands in panic. The supervisor was sent by the higher-ups, they could not afford to offend him, so they only dared to whisper to each other.
"Hurry up and make a decision, that old bastard is still waiting for me, if you don't want to give me the money, then I won't waste my time!" the tall man said impatiently.
"What do you think? Five percent? You see, without your instrument, we can't find the appendages, so you can just raise it higher … "the leading man gritted his teeth and said.
"5%? Do you think I am a beggar! " The tall man's face darkened, as if he was very angry. He immediately interrupted him, picked up the green instrument, and turned around to leave.
The leading man hurriedly smiled apologetically and stopped him, "Brother Shen, brother Shen, don't, don't, don't be angry, we can talk about it, we can talk about it!"
"Talk about it! 80%, either you do it or you don't! Don't stop me, get out of my way, if you stop me again, I will kill you! "the tall man fiercely pointed at the leading man's nose.
"Brother Shen, how about … how about … we can wait a little longer …" the leading man's forehead was covered with sweat, he could only try to delay it.
The tall man ignored him, waved his hand and said, "80%, don't even think about it! Think about it, then come to find me at the old bastard's place! "
Men and women, old and young, seeing him turn away without looking back, were as crestfallen as eggplants that had been beaten by frost.
…
"How about, I say 80%, 80% it is, it is better than starving to death immediately." the leading woman said.
"Zhou Bapi, Zhou Bapi's ancestor!" a young man scolded angrily.
"Now there is no other way, we can only do this." the leading man looked at his companions, it seemed that no one objected.
"Young man, what are you doing?" The woman with the northern accent suddenly noticed that Chu Yunsheng had disappeared. When she turned around, she found that Chu Yunsheng was standing next to the man's basket. He was holding a stone in his hand, and he was checking it carefully.
In this mountain area, there were too many cases of people robbing each other's appendages, and there were also countless cases of people stealing.
Chu Yunsheng weighed the stone in his hand, deliberately waited for the tall man to leave, and then offered a sky-high price, "why don't you let me try, I only need enough to get into the city, the rest will all belong to you!"
This kind of stone was like the floating stone in the yellow mountain area, it was attached with a lot of messy Yuan Qi energy. Chu Yunsheng's ability was extremely sensitive to Yuan Qi, so he could feel the existence of this kind of appendage from a long distance, whether it was a stone or a piece of wood, he could feel it.
