Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 19: The Strange Commander Liu

Today is the day for distributing salaries, so Hu Qingfu naturally asked Qin Feng for money.

"Master, I have prepared the meal!"

"Let's eat first, and tomorrow morning you can bring it to my father."

Hu Qingya lifted the cover on the table, revealing three small dishes inside.

Although these three dishes were all vegetarian and made with coarse grains, Hu Qingya was still very happy.

This kind of day, she didn't know how many times better it was compared to before.

And there were no anomalies appearing here at night.

"Okay."

Qin Feng nodded slightly and then sat down on the chair.

While they were eating, they whispered to each other.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Qin Feng furrowed his brows slightly and looked towards the gate.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Hu Qingya looked at Qin Feng with confusion.

"It's nothing."

"Let's eat quickly!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly and immediately picked up some food and put it in Hu Qingya's bowl.

"What's going on?"

"Just now, I seemed to sense the aura of an anomaly."

"How could an anomaly appear in the guard courtyard?"

Qin Feng was shocked.

Because just now, he sensed the aura of an anomaly.

But this was the guard courtyard.

There were formations inside the courtyard.

Low-level anomalies simply couldn't enter the guard courtyard.

Could it be a high-level anomaly?

A night passed without any words.

Early the next morning, Qin Feng got up early.

When Qin Feng opened the gate, he saw several guards rushing towards the west.

Xiao Ma was among them.

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng quickly closed the gate and followed behind Xiao Ma and the others.

Soon, Qin Feng understood why Xiao Ma and the others were in such a hurry.

It turned out that their teammate, Lao Chen, was found dead in his house this morning.

And all the blood in his body had been sucked dry.

A few minutes later, Qin Feng and the others arrived outside Lao Chen's house.

At this moment, Captain Jiang Yong of the guards had already arrived here.

He was inspecting Lao Chen's already withered body with a few others.

"Captain, Lao Chen was definitely killed by an anomaly!"

After watching for a while, Xiao Ma spoke up.

"Could it be the anomaly from yesterday?"

Qin Feng quickly remembered the anomaly he sensed while eating yesterday.

"Why are you all gathered here?"

At this moment, Deputy Commander Liu Jin rushed over with more than a dozen guards.

"Reporting to Commander Liu, Lao Chen was killed by an anomaly, and we are investigating!"

Jiang Yong stood up and said.

"Enough, no need to investigate. Take the body away and burn it!"

Liu Jin waved his hand.

"Commander Liu..."

Jiang Yong seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Jin.

"Jiang Yong, you have quite the audacity to not even listen to my orders?"

Liu Jin looked coldly at Jiang Yong.

"Liu Jin must have a problem!"

"Maybe it's related to this anomaly!"

Qin Feng already had a guess in his heart.

This is the west side of the guard courtyard.

The guards who live here are all under Jiang Yong's command.

But Liu Jin lives on the east side of the courtyard.

The east and west sides are very far apart. If he wasn't prepared in advance, Liu Jin wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly.

And Liu Jin didn't want Jiang Yong to continue the investigation.

Qin Feng couldn't believe that there was no problem with this.

"Qin Feng, Fan Biao, the two of you take Lao Chen's body and burn it in the back mountain!"

Jiang Yong's face was very bad.

"Yes!"

Qin Feng and Fan Biao walked out from the crowd.

Qin Feng and Fan Biao found a cart and then carried the body towards the outside.

After about ten minutes, Qin Feng and Fan Biao brought the body to an open space in the back mountain.

"Feng Ge, should we bury him here?"

Fan Biao stopped and said, "Okay!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

"Hmm?"

While moving Old Chen's body, Qin Feng suddenly noticed some small threads under Old Chen's fingernails.

"Why do these patterns look the same as the threads on Vice Commander Liu's clothes?"

Qin Feng instantly remembered Vice Commander Liu's clothes.

Could it be that Vice Commander Liu killed Old Chen?

But why would Vice Commander Liu kill Old Chen?

Or is Vice Commander Liu an Anomaly?

Although Qin Feng had many questions in his mind.

He did not show any expression on his face.

He and Fan Biao burned Old Chen's body together.

"Damn, why do we have to do all these chores ourselves?"

Fan Biao spat fiercely.

"Old Fan, it's because we're newcomers!"

Qin Feng pushed the cart and walked towards the distance.

Fan Biao cursed a few more times before following behind Qin Feng.

Shortly after the two left, Liu Jin slowly arrived.

He took out a small jar and began to collect Old Chen's ashes.

After half an hour, Liu Jin hurriedly left.

In the county town.

Qin Feng walked slowly to Zhang the Butcher.

"Sir, what would you like to buy?"

When Zhang the Butcher saw Qin Feng approaching, he quickly stood up with a smile.

At this moment, there was no trace of disdain in Zhang the Butcher's eyes, and his face was full of flattery.

"How much is pig's blood?"

Qin Feng pointed to the pig's blood.

"Ten coins per pot!"

Zhang the Butcher said with a smile.

"Ten coins!"

Qin Feng instantly remembered that he paid fifteen coins when he bought pig's blood two months ago.

"I heard from those servants that it was fifteen coins, right?"

While speaking, Qin Feng picked up the bottle.

"You are a guard, how can those servants compare to you?"

Zhang the Butcher said with a smile.

"Alright!"

"Give me two pots!"

Qin Feng took out twenty coins from his pocket.

At this moment, Qin Feng felt the benefits brought by his identity as a guard.

Not only did the merchants become more friendly.

Even the ruffians and refugees became friendlier when they saw Qin Feng.

Completely different from before, when they would ignore him.

After buying the pig's blood, Qin Feng went to the place where they sold sesame oil and bought several stacks of sesame oil.

These sesame oil stacks were also only ten coins each.

"Ten coins per plate, the servants' hall can at least make half of it!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

After buying the sesame oil, Qin Feng bought some other items.

He also went to the weapon shop to look at the weapons.

However, the better weapons all cost more than three or two silver.

Qin Feng didn't have any money to buy those weapons.

After walking around, Qin Feng arrived at Hu Qingfu's doorstep and handed him five hundred coins.

After receiving the copper coins, Hu Qingfu's face showed a hint of joy mixed with restraint.

"Thank you, son-in-law!"

After struggling for a long time, Hu Qingfu still called Qin Feng son-in-law.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Yong brought Qin Feng to the warehouse.

"Greetings, Captain Jiang!"

The several servants in the warehouse bowed to Qin Feng and Jiang Yong.

"That's enough, make a pot of tea!"

Jiang Yong waved his hand.

"Yes, sir!"

The servants quickly retreated.

Soon, a pot of tea was placed in front of Qin Feng.

"Come, Qin brother, let's drink tea and distribute the bamboo baskets!"

Jiang Yong poured a cup for Qin Feng and himself.
