Chapter 1247 The Sorrow of the Weak
The Chu family's dissatisfaction had already arisen. When they couldn't even fill their stomachs, they could still hear the news that Zhang Yiqing was making a fortune every day. They immediately blamed Shi Xi for all their resentment. Human nature is like this.

"Hush, keep your voice down, it's not good to be heard."

The person who spoke looked back subconsciously, seeing that no one noticed him, he let out a long sigh of relief, and then said no more.

From the Chu family's breakfast today, it can already be seen how hard the Chu family is living.

In the early morning, Henry Zhang stretched his waist and walked out of the room. Because of the attack of monsters, Jianbao Pavilion was closed. For Henry Zhang, his uniform daytime life was also able to change.

This is Henry Zhang* aboveboard, looking at the city carefully.

The place where Henry Zhang lived was in the inner city. As soon as he stepped out of the inner city boundary, Henry Zhang saw a scene full of people sleeping on the street.

"My lord, I beg you, give me some, my lord!"

There was a five or six-year-old child holding Henry Zhang’s calf, his eyes full of pleading.

Henry Zhang's luxurious clothes are in stark contrast to those outside who are ragged, hungry, and sleepless.

"My lord, please, please save my child. He hasn't eaten for two days." A woman in her 30s knelt in front of Henry Zhang and kowtowed. The woman's hand was full of cracks , her mouth was chapped, her face was pale, and her forehead was sweating. It could be seen that she was already very weak.

Henry Zhang saw the mother and son, suddenly, it seemed that it was that winter many years ago again, his mother was begging so hard, she just wanted a bite of food, although those days were bitter, but her heart was always warm yes.

Henry Zhang sighed, stretched his hand into his pocket, grabbed a handful of gold coins, was about to take them out, thought for a while, released most of the gold coins, leaving only one, then took it out, and threw it to the person in front of him women.

The woman looked at the glittering gold coin, and was a little dazed for a while, but the little boy next to him quickly picked up the gold coin and kowtowed to Henry Zhang non-stop.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

The corners of Henry Zhang’s mouth grinned slightly. Back then, when his mother saw the cotton coat and the banknote handed over by Sylvia, she was also in a daze. As a child, she rushed up and took the cotton coat and money.

Henry Zhang didn’t give them too much, he knew that if he gave too much, it would harm the mother and son.

Henry Zhang rubbed the child's head, "When you grow up, you have to treat your mother well, you know? Maternal love is the greatest in the world."

"Yes." The boy nodded, "When I grow up, I will definitely become a strong man."

“I believe you will.” Henry Zhang smiled slightly, then turned around.

Henry Zhang didn’t want to go to the outer city anymore. He knew that there were many such mothers and children in the outer city, even more miserable than them. Henry Zhang didn’t want to see that his childhood came like this.

The outer city was miserable.

Looking at the inner city again, everyone is living as usual, singing and singing every night, and feasting for wealthy families.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

Deep in the outer city, one can clearly feel the impact of the siege of monsters on the entire Dongfang City, as well as the fear in people's hearts, but in the inner city, they can't feel these at all. Prepare to sell these grains at a higher price.

Henry Zhang walked on the streets of the inner city.

A team of officers and soldiers rushed towards Henry Zhang.

"The monsters are coming soon, please return to your residence as soon as possible."

There were officers and soldiers who escorted Henry Zhang back to his residence.

Henry Zhang had just entered the house when he heard loud shouts outside the courtyard.

"The monster is coming, prepare to defend!"

In the sky, birds and monsters appeared again.

Today's monster attack was even more violent than yesterday. Countless birds and monsters hovered in the air, launched a dive attack, and were beheaded by the guards guarding the city.

Today's monster attack lasted for a full day, and no one was free until dusk to clean up the mess on the street.

Henry Zhang stayed in the room all day.

As night fell, Cui Tian, ​​who had spent the whole night negotiating in the City Lord's Mansion last night, walked out of his room, and two beautiful women followed him, arranging his messy clothes.

Cui Tian yawned and ordered: "So who, all of you, follow me."

Henry Zhang walked out the door, “Brother Cui, it’s so late, what are you doing?”

"Give out food." Cui Tian was full of displeasure, "Yesterday, the city lord called all of us who had food in our hands to the city lord's mansion, promised a lot of benefits, and wanted us to take out the food. Agreed, I was bitten to death by a monster last night."

Henry Zhang understood what it meant to be killed by a monster.

"Brother, if you feel bored, just go out with your brother. Now that human life is not worth food, which girl do you want to fall in love with? You can buy a quilt for you with a catty of food." Cui Tian said, picking at Henry Zhang raised eyebrows.

“Go and have a look.” Henry Zhang took a deep breath.

The place where the food is distributed is at the junction of the inner city and the outer city.

People from the outer city have already received the news that the food distribution will be distributed tonight, and they all crowded here.

Henry Zhang saw that there were many richly dressed merchants, all like Cui Tian, ​​walking towards the dividing line with a face full of reluctance. Behind them, there were several men pushing small carts with grain bags thrown on them.

There are officers and soldiers responsible for maintaining order at the demarcation line.

People from the Chu family crowded in the crowd.

Shi Xi was wearing a white long gown, which looked extraordinarily out of the ordinary, but his long gown, less than a minute after he squeezed into the crowd, turned into a flowered gown, and various black handprints printed various patterns on Shi Xi's shirt.

Shi Xi looked at the people around with disgust, and kept yelling, "Go away! You beggars, go away!"

"You are noble, don't come to receive the food!"

"It's also a bereaved dog, and you're still pretending?"

Shi Xi's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of people.

Not only Shi Xi from the Chu family, except for Chu Jisheng and Quan Dingding, the rest of the people all came out to receive food.

Nearly 3 people crowded together, and the noise was endless.

When the food distribution started, almost everyone frantically rushed forward, wanting to get more food.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Henry Zhang couldn’t help but feel a little sad. In this world, no matter where it is, the weak are preyed upon by the strong. In the prosperous age, the gap is not big, but in troubled times, the weak, even survival, is a luxury.

This is more certain, Henry Zhang’s determination to become the strongest.

Among the crowd, Shi Xi maintained his identity and disdained to compete with others. By the time he arrived at the food distribution place without rushing, today's food distribution had already been finished.

"It's gone." The person who distributed the food was like driving away flies.

"It's gone?" Shi Xi glanced at the already empty grain bag, and suddenly saw Henry Zhang standing not far away, Shi Xi suddenly had an idea, and shouted, "Zhang Yiqing! Pay back the grain!"
