“Let’s go!”

Yclu Chun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This little girl wasn’t afraid of being recognized and asked how he did it. Did she know that there would be a massacre in this shop?

“Let’s go.”

Su Qing pulled Xiaoying up and glanced at Yelu Chun before leaving. If this person were a spy, he would be a kind-hearted spy. She cupped her fists and left.

She could see a strong killing intent in Yelu Chun’s eyes. This illegal shop was going to end today.

“Don’t go; you haven’t paid yet!”

The two waiters blocked Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying with fierce expressions. Su Qing looked at them coldly and was about to attack when Yelu Chun spoke,

“I’ll pay for them.”

“Sir, we have a rule here. Whoever orders the dishes will pay.”

However, these two waiters didn’t intend to let Su Qing and the others go just because of Yelu Chun’s words. They continued to stop them from leaving.

These were all fat sheep. They were willing to pay one tael of silver for a pot of water. That bag must have a lot of silver in it. Moreover, these two people had delicate skin and tender meat. They would fetch a reasonable price at the little brother’s restaurant.

Their relay station had always had a rule. If they ordered beef tendons, they had to leave their lives behind.

“You guys go first.”

Yelu Chun gestured to Su Qing and drew his sword from his sheath. As soon as the sword was drawn, it buzzed like a dragon’s roar. This was a sword that had been stained with the blood of countless people.

Su Qing glanced at the treasured sword. Ji Shuisheng had lost his Luan Saber, so this special sword was comparable to the Luan Saber.

Yelii Chun did not know that the woman he was about to let go of had taken a fancy to his sword. At this moment, he was holding the blade against the neck of the waiter who had spoken. His cold voice carried a chilling, killing intent. “Can they leave now?”

“Yes, they can leave. Please don’t be angry.”

The shopkeeper quickly ran over to smooth things over. Although those two were also fat sheep, they were not as fat as the two young masters in front of him. Moreover, even if they were allowed to leave the relay station, they would not be able to leave Zhaoyuan County.

“Drink, drink. This jar of wine is my apology to the two guests.”

The shopkeeper ordered the waiter to bring over a jar of Nu’er Hong and filled it up for Yelii Chun with a smile.

When he poured the wine, he looked at a few men drinking at the other table. These men understood, picked up the steel knives on the stools, and walked out.

“Stop right there.”

Yelii Chun flew out with the bowl of wine handed over by the shopkeeper, hitting the burly man walking to the door.

Su Qing looked back and saw that the wine bowl had hit the big man’s head and split his head open. He held his head and screamed! Blood and wine flowed all over his face. His eyes were so hot that he could not open them.

“They haven’t paid yet!”

The shopkeeper’s expression changed as he heard Yelii Chun’s indifferent voice.

He gritted his teeth. He felt that this fat sheep was tough to deal with today, so he shouted at the burly men,

“Sir, please pay the bill.”

The man hit in the face felt aggrieved and raised his saber to slash at Yelii Chun.

“You dare to smash my head? I’ll kill you.”

However, before he could get close to the other party, he was sent flying by Yelii Chun’s kick and fainted.

Su Qing glanced at Yelii Chun. Just as she had observed, this person was very skilled in martial arts.

“Sister, he’s very powerful!”

Xiaoying looked excitedly at Yelii Chun beating people up. Besides her brother, he was the most handsome person when beating people up.

“Let’s go!”

Su Qing didn’t say that they were Tartans. There would be a massacre here, so she and Xiaoying didn’t need to cause trouble.

“Alright.”

Xiaoying agreed but turned her head back thrice with every step. She wanted to see that cool hero beat everyone down.

“We have to leave this place quickly.”

Su Qing felt that Zhaoyuan County was very unsafe. She did not want to enter the rest of the relay stations anymore. Perhaps they were all such illegal shops.

Su Qing didn’t intend to buy the buns when she saw the stalls selling buns and mantous by the roadside. What if they were also made of human flesh? She wanted to buy some steamed buns and asked the boss,

“Boss, how much are the steamed buns?”

“One hundred coins for one.”

The steamed bun vendor stretched out a finger, shocking Ji Xiaoying to the extreme. This was the Black City, so why was a street vendor here to rob her?

“One tael of silver for ten steamed buns. I want a hundred.”

Su Qing did some calculations. The Great Xia Kingdom’s currency calculation was that one tael of silver was equivalent to 1,000 wen for ten steamed buns, and ten taels of silver could buy 100 steamed buns. It was a little expensive but pretty cheap compared to the shop that sold a pot of water for one tael of silver.

The peddler did not expect to meet a big customer. He was still worried that he could not sell all the steamed buns today. He happily packed the steamed buns and even took the initiative to give his basket to Su Qing to store the steamed buns.

Xiaoying felt her heart ache. Ten taels of silver could buy forty stones of grain. How many steamed buns would that cost?

While Xiaoying was distressed by the price of silver, Qiu Yongkang was also distressed when he heard about the cost of grain and salt.

The prices here were costly. One tael of silver could buy two stones of brown rice. One had to know that before the disaster, one tael of silver could buy six or seven stones of brown rice.

Ji Shuisheng patted Qiu Yongkang’s shoulder when he saw his heartache.

“Buy it.”

The 500 taels of silver earned from An Guangxing could buy much food. In a year of disaster, food was more important than silver. With food, one could survive. If one could not buy food with silver, one could only starve to death with money.

Qiu Yongkang understood this, but he still felt heartache.

They had bought three carts of grain and a lot of salt. They had spent nearly a dozen taels of silver. When Qiu Yongkang handed over the silver notes, he was so distressed that he wanted to snatch them back.

After buying the food, they waited for Su Qing and Xiaoying to return. The waiter helped them load the car and tie the rope. He even asked them where to transport the food.

Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang were vague and didn’t tell them the truth.

Su Qing and Xiaoying bought some steamed buns and came back. The two of them were starving as well. They ate as they walked. The newly cooked steamed buns were delicious too. They tasted good when they ate them with empty mouths.

Seeing that Ji Shuisheng and the others had already packed the cart, Su Qing brought Xiaoying over.

“Have you bought everything?”

Su Qing asked Ji Shuisheng.

“We’re done. We’ll buy some necessities, and then we can go back.”

“Big Brother, Brother Yongkang, eat some steamed buns.”

Ji Xiaoying took a steaming hot bun from her basket and handed it over. Qiu Yongkang took the bun and looked at Xiaoying’s sparkling eyes as he asked with a smile,

“Have you eaten?”

“Yes, I ate two.”

Ji Xiaoying stretched out two slender and fair fingers and said to Qiu Yongkang with a smile. She felt she could still eat two more but would not eat anymore. She had to bring them back to the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove.

“I still need to buy some cotton and cloth. Wait for me.”

Su Qing told Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang, telling Xiaoying not to follow her. She would go and buy it herself.

Xiaoying nodded obediently. Su Qing then instructed,

“Don’t leave your brother’s side. This city isn’t safe.”

Xiaoying obediently agreed and told her not to worry.

Only then did Su Qing leave with peace of mind. Xiaoying told her brother what happened at the relay station,

” Big Brother, the place that smelled the fragrance and got off the horse, is a black market that sells human flesh. Sister Su Qing and I almost couldn’t get out.”

“Is that so? How did you know that they sold human flesh?”

Ji Shuisheng had heard of illegal shops selling human meat as buns, but that was only hearsay. He did not expect such an illegal shop to exist.

“Just…”

Ji Xiaoying had just opened her mouth when she saw a person covered in blood running toward them..
