Chapter 51: The dispute over the fake Taoist map! (Please follow up!)

After not visiting Fangshi for a few days, when Yang Fang came out again, he could clearly see that Fangshi had become much depressed.

Originally, there were still many people setting up street stalls here, but after so many days, even the street stalls have decreased a lot.

There are more unfamiliar faces on the street.

Some of them gathered together in small groups and glanced at the street with cold eyes.

Others are alone, carrying weapons on their backs, with cold eyes, and a feeling of being rejected from thousands of miles away.

Yang Fang took a quick glance, secretly awe-inspiring, lowered his head, and hurried towards Mipu.

“Has the price of rice risen so high?”

He looked shocked.

As soon as I inquired, it turned out that the price of rice had risen again, nearly four times.

"Yes, the current market situation is more severe than ever before. In the past, in the winter, the trade routes were at most difficult to travel, but now it is more than difficult. The trade routes have long been blocked by bandits, and several grain transport brigades from the chamber of commerce have

They were looted, and if this continues, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food."

The shopkeeper explained.

Although there is an exaggerated charm there, it still makes Yang Fang realize the difficulty of the current form.

He bought two hundred kilograms of rice in one go, spending nearly eighty taels of silver, which made his heart bleed.

If I used to spend eight taels of silver on a bottle of Qi-nourishing pills, I would still have two taels left!

However, the price of rice has risen so ridiculously, the price of Qi Nourishing Pill is probably even more expensive.

He pulled the cart and rushed directly to a shop in front of him.

The result was just as he imagined. As soon as he asked, he learned the price of the Qi Nourishing Pill.

Ten taels of silver a bottle!

This is an increase of 2 taels from the previous 8 taels.

"The materials for refining the Qi-nourishing Pill are simply unavailable now. Someone has deliberately blocked the road outside the settlement. Even the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce is having a hard time getting the materials. It only costs ten taels of silver now. It will definitely become more expensive in the future!"

said the drug store manager.

Yang Fang had a toothache.

His first suspicion was that a businessman was hoarding it!

It is even possible for shops to join forces with each other and charge random prices.

But what can he say in this situation?

"Bring me four bottles!"

Yang Fang directly took out forty taels of silver and placed it on the counter.

The shopkeeper immediately took out four bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills and handed them to Yang Fang.

Yang Fang put away the Qi Nourishing Pill and immediately pulled the cart towards the butcher shop.

Not surprisingly, the price of meat is also rising.

Before the price increase, it was 70 cents per catty, but now it has risen to 500 cents per catty.

Yang Fang directly spent ten taels of silver to buy twenty kilograms of pork.

At this point, his money bottomed out again.

"If this continues, many people are bound to starve to death this winter."

Yang Fang secretly said.

No, many people may die before winter comes.

After all, who knows if those outsiders will kill people and make blood sacrifices?

Living in this black iron settlement now is like living on a barrel of explosives that may be detonated at any time.

If he could leave, he would definitely choose to leave.

But the environment outside is extremely dangerous, with beasts and evil spirits everywhere. You have to walk thousands of miles before you encounter the next settlement. It is not something that one person can successfully pass through.

The whole day passed quickly.

Until the sun goes down.

It took a group of workers to finally dig out the hole Yang Fang needed.

There is a huge living room inside, covering an area of ​​more than ten meters.

In addition, there are three rooms, a storage room, an escape passage, and an air outlet.

Yang Fang moved all the rice and meat into the cave.

He threw down some wooden boards and made a simple wooden bed, and lived underground that night.

"You won't get into trouble again now, right?"

Yang Fang murmured.

Suddenly, he remembered something, climbed out of the ground again, and walked towards another room.

A thick pile of animal skins was quickly dug out from under the bed in this room.

Each animal skin is engraved with some strange silver characters.

Astonishingly, it was the fake road map he copied last night.

Yang Fang thought quickly in his mind, gritted his teeth, took out the mask from under the bed, put it on his face, picked up the sword, and quietly climbed over the wall and left.

His body was extremely fast and he ran all the way towards Dongfang.

Seeing no one was around late at night, he immediately took out a fake road map and threw it in a remote alley.

After throwing it away in this alley, I immediately ran to another alley to throw it away.

In this way, all the four major cities were thrown away by him without exception.

After doing all this, he immediately returned to his residence, turned over, successfully returned to Wanchunpu, took off his mask, and got into the cave.

"If nothing else happens, I'm afraid there will be complete chaos next."

Yang Fang said to himself.

But it's also good to have that group of outsiders internalize each other.

In this way, it will also save the attention of some people who come to the medicine shop, and the probability of being discovered is even lower. After all, they are all competing for the Dao map. Who has the time to pay attention to natives like them?

Yang Fang took out a Qi-nourishing Pill, swallowed it, and immediately started practicing in the cave.

Before I knew it, several hours passed.

ah!

Suddenly, bursts of miserable screams rang out from outside, allowing Yang Fang, who was ten meters underground, to hear it clearly.

He was startled, stopped practicing, and immediately raised his ears to listen outside.

After that scream sounded, other screams soon came.

This was accompanied by bursts of sounds of weapons clashing and bursts of vague shouts.

"Dao Tu has appeared, stop him quickly!"

"Leave the Dao map and spare your life!"

"The Dao map was taken away by [Quick Knife] Zhang Lan"

"Zhang Lan, don't run away, you think I can't recognize you if you cover your face!"

Shouts came and went.

It doesn't seem to be far from his shop.

Yang Fang felt worried and secretly frightened.

He threw away all those fake Taoist maps in Sidafang City.

Beifang was discovered so quickly.

But the shouting soon began to fade away.

It was obvious that the people they were fighting were moving away quickly.

Yang Fang listened for a while again to make sure he couldn't hear any sound, then he relaxed and started to continue practicing.

Just like that, the whole night passed quickly.

Living underground feels uncomfortable and feels unspeakably stuffy.

But Yang Fang thought about it and still didn't come out of the cave.

If you agree to huddle underground for a few months, you must stick to it, and you can't give up halfway.
