After passing through the book, she became the farmer's wife of the villain

Chapter 79 Preparing to sell grain (fourth update)

The city gate is difficult to enter!

"Huanhuan, you see the city gate is locked and the refugees are outside. I'm afraid they won't let us enter the city."

Merome raised her hand to cover her forehead, blocking the light and looking at the city gate.

"I know a low wall. Let's go inside when it gets dark."

Jun Buhuan put Merome down next to a big bare tree and took the sword in her hand.

Merome stared at his sword for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "How about I give you a new sword? Take this sword into the city, I'm afraid we will be recognized soon."

It's not her fault, Jun Buhuan's sword is so iconic. Anyone who has seen this sword will probably be able to recognize him at a glance.

Jun Buhuan's hand wiping the sword paused, and said: "This is my personal sword, it cannot be thrown away easily."

"I don't want you to throw it away. What I mean is to find you a sword that cannot be identified. As for yours, I will keep it for you first and return it to you when you arrive in the capital. What do you think?"

Melome tried to negotiate with him.

Jun Buhuan stared at the sword in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then threw the sword to her.

Merome stretched out her hand to catch the sword, but she didn't expect that the sword was very heavy. As soon as she caught it, she staggered due to its force, and took two steps back to stabilize her body.

Carrying Jun Buhuan on his back, he threw the sword into the system backpack and spent a few energy coins from the mall to buy an antique stainless steel sword that looked particularly sharp.

[Host, something with abundant energy has been detected, would you like to change it?]

Melome was about to log out when she suddenly heard the system sound and seemed very excited.

[What is the energy-rich thing?] Melome was suspicious, she didn't bring anything in.

[Sword, sword, host, the sword you just threw in can be exchanged for 10,000 energy coins, do you want to exchange it?]

The system is very exciting. With this ten thousand energy, it can be upgraded.

When the time comes to open the channel, it will run back and watch the plot again before coming back.

Melome was suspicious: [So many?]

Even though this sword is inlaid with precious stones, it's not worth so much, right?

[Host, this sword has seen a lot of blood and is very violent, but at the same time it is also full of energy, so it can be exchanged for 10,000 energy coins. How about it? Do you want to exchange it? If you exchange it, you can upgrade it. You know where the plot is going.]

The system smiled like an aunt, with a round body like a wolf grandma.

[Forget it, I won’t change it, this thing is not mine and I will have to return it when the time comes.]

Although she wanted energy very much, she had to adhere to principles as a person, and she couldn't embezzle it when she was asked to keep it for others.

Melo Mei handed the stainless steel sword she just bought to Jun Buhuan, "Can you take a look?"

Jun Buhuan raised his eyebrows.

Was it replaced so quickly?

He took the sword and looked at it, "Let's just use it."

Melome really wanted to slap him.

This girl got a bargain and still behaves well!

"We can't just wait here all the time. You see there are so many refugees outside the city gate. How about we go sell some food?" Merome looked ahead and pointed at the refugees outside the city wall.

Some people were lying on the ground, some were sitting, some were grinding tree roots, and some were eating something they couldn't understand.

"You want to sell grain?" Jun Buhuan raised his eyebrows and looked up at her, "Do you think they have the money to buy it?"

Don't let the food not be sold, but be looted and lose your life.

"Oh, I don't have to ask for money. They don't have any money to exchange for things."

As long as it can be worth a few energy coins, she will accept it.

She looked carefully with a magnifying glass. One energy coin can be exchanged for hundreds of kilograms of sorghum rice, corn residue, or broken rice. One energy coin can also buy several cubic meters of tap water.

She can buy some cheap food, tap water, etc. and sell them. She can save people and earn energy, so why not do it.

It’s just that there is no one to help!

"If you want to sell grain, I can help you, but you have to listen to my arrangements."

Jun Buhuan put away the stainless steel sword, stood up, and looked down at Merome.

"Okay, okay, that's settled."

As long as you can earn energy, you don't have to listen to anyone's words.

Merome nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, pulled out a set of tools from the system, disguised the two of them, and then walked forward.

Jun Buhuan knew that there was an inn next to the official road nearby. Now that there was a drought, the inn was empty, so he planned to get some food somewhere and then attract people to buy it.

After walking for a while, the two came to the inn. Looking at the two-story brick house, Melome nodded with satisfaction.

It’s a good place to stowaway!

Just as he was about to open the door and go in, Jun Buhuan grabbed his arm.

Melome turned to look at him in confusion, but Jun Buhuan picked her up, climbed over the roof, and jumped to the back of the house.

"There's someone inside."

Jun Buhuan frowned. When he came here in his previous life, this inn had long been deserted. He didn't expect that there would be people inside when he came here in this life.

Did you come early?

Melome was also surprised, someone is not easy to deal with!

When I was about to leave, I suddenly heard shouting in the house.

He immediately lay down by the window with his ears straightened up to listen, but Jun Buhuan covered his ears and whispered: "Don't listen, hurry up and leave."

Can't listen?

The more she said she couldn't listen, the more curious Melome became. She pulled away Jun Buhuan's hand covering her ears, poked a hole in the window, and leaned over to watch.

Seeing her like this, Jun Buhuan felt helpless and could only lean against the wall with his sword in his arms, unable to look at the sky.

If she wants to listen, let her listen. He has already reminded her anyway.

Melome came closer and saw only two people in the room pulling something. Because of the light, they couldn't see their faces clearly, so they had to listen carefully.

"Master, please, please let me go. I just want to borrow some food."

"Really, just a handful is enough. My mother is starving to death."

After the female voice finished speaking, she heard a man's voice say: "As long as you let me do it, I can give you half a bowl of more food."

Female voice: "Master, it's no good. My mother is still waiting for me. Please give me some food. When the disaster is over, I will repay you twice as much. Please."

Male voice: "The young lady is pregnant. In order to save food, all the concubines in the family have been sold by the parents. Young Master, I am panicking now. If you let me do it, I will give you a handful more beans."

Melome: "..."

Looking at Jun Buhuan, he saw uncomfortable eyes and red ears.

"So you already knew?"

He didn't even tell her.

Jun Buhuan: "Didn't I warn you?"

Being manipulated, Melome was very impatient.

He touched his sleeve, pulled out a rolling pin out of thin air, rolled up his sleeves and was ready to rush in.

"What do you want to do?"

Jun Buhuan stopped her.

"That beast, I'll beat him to death."

Melome broke away, resisted the rolling pin, kicked open the window, and jumped in.

Jun Buhuan: "..."

Seeing that stopping him was ineffective, he had no choice but to follow behind and jump in.

The two of them were fighting in the house, and suddenly the window was kicked open, and then two people ran in, and the people in the house were startled.

"What are you...who are you?"

When the man saw the two people jumping in and looking at him with fierce expressions, he immediately trembled and spoke stumblingly.

"The person who hit you."

Merome looked at the well-dressed man in front of her, raised her rolling pin and waved to him.

When the woman saw someone coming, she screamed, pulled up her torn clothes, and immediately hid beside a pillar.

Merome knocked the man to the ground, then stood aside with a rolling pin to breathe.

Beating someone is also a labor of strength.

The man was beaten until he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Jun Buhuan raised his leg and wanted to send him to the west, but when he caught a glimpse of the little girl beside him, he held back.

He remembered that this man was afraid of seeing dead bodies.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll be back in a moment."

As soon as he said that, he mentioned the man on the ground and jumped out of the window.

"No, don't hit me, I don't... don't want to."

Seeing Merome approaching, the woman hiding by the pillar panicked and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Melome couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

"Don't worry, I won't hit you."

Throwing the rolling pin aside, he said, "I just heard that you were borrowing food, right?"

Woman: "Yes...yes!"

She was originally a rough laborer in Yuan's family, but after the drought became severe, Yuan's family had no work, so they could not find any work.

No work means no food. This time, I was really hungry. Seeing that I couldn't endure it any longer, I had to boldly go to my previous owner's house, hoping to borrow some food to save my life. Unexpectedly, I met the young master.

The young master said that he would give her food as long as she followed him, but unexpectedly she was brought here to do evil things.

Merome looked at the skinny woman on the ground and said: "My army will bring me food soon. Although it is not very good, it can still fill my stomach. If you want to buy food, you can come here in an hour.

purchase."

Woman: "But... we don't have any money."

White rice that once cost more than 20 renminbi per catty has now grown to more than 100 renminbi per catty, but it is still expensive but has no market.

Melome: "It doesn't have to be silver. It can be other things, such as a piece of grass, a stone, a ginseng, or a painting, a book, or a bowl. I will make it based on what you provide."

Give food."

The woman showed an incredulous expression: "Really...really?"

"Of course." Melome took out a bag from her body, grabbed a handful of rice and put it in her hand, "If you can pass on what I just told you to other victims, I can give you a few extra kilograms of rice.

.”

The woman looked at the rice in her hand, took one, put it into the corner of her mouth, chewed it, and found that it was indeed rice.

Although it was just some broken rice, it was enough to keep her family alive.

"Thank you, thank you."

The woman immediately kowtowed to Melome several times before standing up and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely call the group of people outside the city to buy rice in an hour."

If someone is selling rice, you would be a fool not to buy it!

The woman took a handful of rice and rolled away.

Seeing that everyone had left, Merome quickly put away the rolling pin and checked around to see that no one was there. Then she opened the system backpack and took out the food she had bought in the backpack.

Fifty thousand jins of broken rice and 30,000 jins of sorghum rice will be sold first.

There will be two updates tomorrow as usual, one at 11am and one at 6pm.
