Chapter 147

Hedong city seems to have become a backwater, and the atmosphere is getting more and more depressed day by day.

The next morning, Chen's father and mother finally couldn't help but call Chen Shouyi, borrow a tricycle, and go to the vegetable market to continue purchasing.

When they arrived there, they found that there were soldiers standing guard everywhere outside the vegetable market, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Walking into the vegetable market, there were pitifully few stalls, and except for an official grain and oil store, the price did not rise, all vegetables and meat were expensive, several times more expensive than before the change.

"Why is it so expensive? Who can afford it, and it doesn't look fresh." Chen's mother picked up a Chinese cabbage, asked the price, and asked for nine yuan a kilo. She was shocked immediately.

"I said, sister-in-law, it's really not expensive. I wholesale it, and it's not much cheaper, so I earn a lot of hard money."

"But it's not so expensive. It's all higher than the previous meat price."

A vendor was a little impatient and said, "if you want to be cheap, go to the suburbs to buy it. It's much cheaper there. If you want to buy it in the countryside, it's the same as without money."

Chen Shouyi frowned slightly. It is not easy to live in a big city, especially in today's situation.

This change did not have much impact on agriculture, or it did not have much impact in a short time.

However, Hedong has a population of tens of millions. This super large city itself is based on modern and efficient logistics. Before the change, the vegetables and meat in the surrounding vegetable and meat bases can reach the city center in a few hours, and the prices in the suburbs and the city center are not much different.

But now the level of logistics has suddenly degenerated to nothing better than that in the feudal era. Returning to the tricycle from automobile transportation, the cost of logistics has increased dozens or even hundreds of times. No matter how cheap things are, plus the logistics cost, the price will soar.

Although Chen's mother had a sore face, after some bargaining, she finally bought a lot of Chinese cabbage at the price of eight yuan, and then bought a fan of meat, ten kilograms of eggs, two barrels of oil, and five bags of twenty-five kilograms of grain before leaving the vegetable market.

"This thing cost more than 3000 yuan!" Chen's mother sat on the tricycle and said heartily, "if you go to buy it next time, you must go to the countryside."

"Mom, forget it, just be more expensive." Riding a tricycle, Chen Shouyi said aloud, "there are soldiers in the urban area under martial law, which is still safe. I don't know what's going on in the countryside. In a few days, I'll be paid and should be enough to live."

Chen's mother frowned. As soon as she was ready to speak, she noticed that several pedestrians on the roadside glanced here from time to time. Her eyes were full of greed and covetousness, and she immediately swallowed.

Seeing this, Chen Shouyi glanced coldly. Fortunately, soldiers and policemen could be seen on the road from time to time. There were no people without eyes who dared to rob.

In troubled times, there are people who fight, smash, rob and kill in addition to the first day of the change. However, as soldiers took to the streets and began martial law, especially after killing some chaotic elements on the spot, no one dared to do evil in the streets.

Of course, those sins hidden in the dark can't be stopped.

In this depressing atmosphere, the days are getting harder and harder, and many people are full of fear and confusion about the future.

In addition, the information has become blocked, and you never know the world's affairs outside your home. Now, you can't hear other information except for a few kilometers. Being in the city is like falling into an island.

No one knows what's happening outside now.

Has the war begun, or is it still peaceful?

Anxious, terrified, uneasy, under all kinds of stimulation, even a previously gentle person may release the devil in his heart in a flash. During these days, you can hear everywhere where someone was killed.

……

Chen Shouyi pedaled a tricycle and returned to the community all the way. He saw several policemen carrying a corpse that had been packed in a shroud and carrying it to a specially modified big bucket tricycle, on which two had already been placed.

One of them, a child in size, is obviously a family of three.

Residents of the community in twos and threes in the distance, whispered, and dared not approach from afar.

"Don't look, bad luck, go!" Chen's mother hurried with an uneasy look.

Chen Shouyi responded, took back his eyes, continued to pedal the tricycle, and soon came to the downstairs of the community.

He carried five bags of grain on his shoulder, a fan of pork and two barrels of edible oil in both hands, and walked up the stairs with Chen's mother.

……

"Mom, brother, you're back. Where's dad?" Chen Xingyue asked.

"Your father went to return the tricycle!" Chen's mother said with some uneasiness.

"Let me tell you something. The police just came, and someone died on the ninth floor." Said Chen Xingyue.

"When I came, I saw it outside. It was our building that died?" Chen Shouyi was surprised.

More than ten minutes later, Chen Dawei also came back. Hearing the news, he couldn't help sighing: "did you say that people in our building would do it?"

He didn't worry much, not to mention that his son was a martial artist, but even his daughter was a martial apprentice. It was not enough for ordinary murderers to deal with his family.

"No, I think people here are very kind." Chen mother said.

"Mom, if you know people, face and heart, who can tell?" Chen Xingyue curled her lips and said.

……

After lunch, Chen Shouyi stayed at home for a while, but he couldn't stay any longer. He was stuffy at home every day, and he was almost stuffy.

He walked all the way to the haunted house.

He suddenly felt a strange, it seemed that something was wrong. There were hundreds of meters away from the haunted house, but he had already felt a faint gloomy meaning. He looked up in the direction of the haunted house, and it seemed that the light was a little dark.

Unexpectedly, it has been so serious!

This natural spirit is getting stronger and stronger.

He noticed that there was a thick layer of snow on the cement road of the alley, and there were no footprints on it except a few scattered footprints. It was obvious that few people had come in and out here recently.

Chen Shouyi hesitated and prepared to go into the alley to have a look at the haunted house, but he took a few steps and was stopped by soldiers standing guard on the roadside:

"This is no entry."

Hearing this, he couldn't help but take out the martial arts certificate and asked, "what happened inside?"

After checking, the soldier looked solemn and said, "it's haunted inside. Many people have died. Now the people nearby have been relocated to other places. In order to avoid panic among the people nearby, please don't spread it."

"Is there no one here to deal with it?" Chen Shouyi wondered.

"The Bureau of investigation of category III affairs came once the day before yesterday, but it still failed. Now it can only be temporarily quarantined and waiting for the final disposal."

It was said that they returned in vain. In fact, one of the two people who went there turned pale after coming back, as if he was greatly frightened, and the other was completely crazy.
