There were twenty-five boxes of incense powder in a basket and two coins per box. Chen Yi bought them all in one go and spent all his pocket money.
"This powder is pretty good."
Chen Yi fainted a little and tried it on the back of her hand. The powder was fine and the natural jasmine fragrance was very pleasing.
When you put a little on your lips, it feels very moisturizing and the taste is very sweet.
Mu Qingyun and Chen Yi simply took out all the fragrant powder and divided it. The senior sisters in the martial arts school usually don't use such things, but they don't like it.
He tidied up his messy clothes, wiped off the blood on his face, combed his hair, and applied makeup and powder carefully.
A group of male disciples in the martial arts hall were lying on the ground watching their fellow seniors and sisters tidying up their appearance, looking at each other in confusion.
"Who said we have better physical strength than girls?"
They were all so tired that they felt dizzy even if they moved, but they still had enough energy.
They looked at each other, laughed out loud, and quickly got up with difficulty to get the bowls and chopsticks to prepare to eat.
Seven or eight yamen servants came over carrying a bag of brown rice and a bag of old rice. They washed them briefly and put them in the pot.
Then I added some chopped wild vegetables to the pot and grabbed a handful of refined salt.
The yamen servants walked in a hurry, and their cooking was not very particular. The food was not cleaned thoroughly, and there was rice bran and sand mixed in.
The common people ate fine grains last night. Today, they ate a mixture of brown rice and old rice, and no one complained.
On the contrary, after eating like this, everyone feels more at ease.
At this time, the city gate has been sealed. Except for the patrols organized by the warriors and the personnel organized by the Yamen organization, no one else is allowed to enter or exit.
There are two granaries for the food stored in Yuncheng City.
Every household of the common people also has some surplus food.
But I don’t know how long the city will be closed for, no matter how long it takes, these are not enough. In times of trouble, food is the most important thing. The most important thing in life is food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If you don’t have clothes, you can think of other ways to keep out the cold and cover yourself. Only food, people don’t eat. , will definitely die, nothing can replace it.
Mu Qingyun was holding a large bowl of sour bamboo shoots, steamed pork and crispy flower rolls. He swallowed his saliva, but still couldn't take a bite.
"Xiao Yang, bring it to your grandfather and the others. The elderly and children should eat better."
Xiao Yang was startled, his eyes were hot, and he smiled.
Their group of warriors has a separate small stove with various nourishing soups and water.
During the fight yesterday, neither Mu Qingyun nor Chen Yi objected. Instead, they should eat meat and drink soup.
"The wounded, the old, the weak, women and children are using our small stove."
Chen Yi smiled and said, "My stomach is not delicate enough to require special treatment."
Mu Qingyun laughed: "We are not particular about it, but don't show off. The junior brothers and sisters may go out of the city to provide support soon, so we must not neglect food and drink."
Xiao Yang brought sour bamboo shoots, steamed pork and flower rolls, and a pot of noodle soup to his grandfather at home.
Mr. Yang looked at him and sighed while eating.
Xiao Yang was very helpless: "Isn't this okay? Grandpa, please stop sighing, it makes me feel really bad."
"Xiao Yang, give me the compass."
While they were talking here, several senior brothers came on horseback. With a loud shout, Xiao Yang quickly threw the compass out.
Several senior brothers did not stop their horses and went straight to the city gate.
Mr. Yang suddenly felt trembling in his heart.
Xiao Yang's expression also changed.
Almost at the same time, news came from the historians, asking all the people to move to the south of the city immediately.
There is a large grain depot built in the early years in the south of the city. It is a semi-underground structure and the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In the direction of Chang County, twelve monsters suddenly appeared, including three that could fly, and they were heading towards Yuncheng.
Just listen to the heavy bell ringing.
Xiao Yang saw Mu Qingyun and Chen Yi coming on flying horses from a distance, surrounded by countless warriors. Some climbed up the city wall first, while others fell behind.
He quickly assembled the knife, got up and mounted his horse, looked back at his grandfather, and said no more.
The old man opened his mouth and punched his fist bitterly: "If I were thirty years younger, hey!"
The common people's hearts skipped a beat, but it was actually like the other boot had dropped.
As early as the first monster appeared in Yun City, everyone had a premonition.
This cannot be an isolated case.
Everyone knows that monsters usually appear in groups. This won't end until we find the original one, get it back to the restricted area, and seal it.
Mr. Yang stood up slightly tremblingly, but he still encouraged everyone: "We all have experience now. Unlike before, we were helpless when facing this thing. I estimate that the court will solve it after a month and a half at most."
…
Three whole days and three nights.
Countless warriors fought and retreated, but then had no way to retreat.
Looking back, we can already see the tall walls of Yuncheng.
There is only a fight to the death.
The sky was gloomy, and Instructor Han, who liked to laugh the most in the martial arts school, died.
Instructor Sun, who liked to be angry the most, also died.
Junior Sister Song, who just took Chen Yi's jasmine powder and painted herself into a scented doll, is dead.
Bones and corpses, no time to restrain themselves.
People usually die so suddenly.
Mu Qingyun would carefully analyze the monster's weaknesses at the beginning, and he would still be scared, nervous, and fearful in his heart.
Seeing senior brothers and sisters, junior brothers and sisters, and those warriors who seemed to have met and greeted each other a few times, as well as those warriors who had never seen each other before, fell under the various attacks of monsters, and their blood dyed the soil into scarlet color, she There will also be heartache, pain, and despair.
But she didn't know when it hit her, but her mind went blank.
Stop thinking about life and death.
At least, she knew they would win.
She had seen a stable, peaceful and beautiful future.
"Ugh."
Chen Yi finally couldn't bear it any longer. Her knees softened and she knelt on the ground. Mu Qingyun hugged her and rolled on the spot, avoiding the wings that covered the sky. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She seized the opportunity at that moment. , the Qiushui Sword thrust out, and the sword hit the gap on the neck of the flying bird monster.
"call!"
Everyone watched this behemoth fall to the ground, and the anger in their hearts was relieved. Bewilderment came over their hearts, they looked around, and suddenly burst into tears.
Chen Yi said numbly: "How many more monsters will appear? Can we win every time?"
Mu Qingyun pulled his senior sister, asked her to stand up, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, there will be no monsters in the future. If the game company wants to create a monster character, it will have to solicit submissions from all over the country, and finally let everyone vote to confirm."
Chen Yi was startled, then suddenly laughed: "It would be great if it were true."
Mu Qingyun exhaled and said loudly: "It's true."
Chen Yi sighed: "I don't think about the future anymore, I just hope this is the last one in Yuncheng."
The city gate quietly opened a crack, and the government officials hurried out with a stretcher.
Many ordinary people also walked out step by step, carrying buckets of water and rice.
Many common people turned horribly pale when they saw the corpses on the ground, but no one exclaimed.
The wind whistled by, and gradually no one spoke anymore. They were silent and carried out all the next work in an orderly manner.
