As night fell, Yuehai City, which had been noisy for a day, gradually fell silent.

Most families put out the oil lamps early after eating and go to sleep to relieve the tired body after a hard day's work, only the restaurants and casinos in the city are brightly lit and start the all-night carnival.

Compared with the inland, this secluded and isolated seaside town is much less affected by the continuous snowstorm, after all, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, even if there is no grain harvest in the field, there are still fish and shrimp to fill a little, which can make people survive those bitter cold days.

In particular, we should be grateful for the generosity and kindness of the "Poseidon Master", if it were not for the fact that he would exert his divine power every once in a while to attract the fish tide to the shore, I am afraid that many people would still starve to death this winter.

Therefore, every household in Yuehai Town knelt down to worship the "god of the sea", regarded it as the only true god in heaven and earth, and spontaneously formed the Poseidon Sect, it did not take long to completely include the county seat and the towns and villages below, and even the people in the government have all become a member of the Poseidon Sect, and every fifteenth day of the new year, a large-scale worship ceremony will be organized to pray for the mercy of the Poseidon Lord.

It was late at night, and the whole city was finally completely quiet, even the casinos and restaurants were closed with their lights turned off and their stalls closed.

Only the sound of the wind whistling from the sea rattled the doors and windows, bringing a heavy dampness and fishy smell, and soon a heavy downpour fell, enveloping everything in sight in a curtain of rain.

In the private room in the corner of the second floor of the Shanhai Residence in Yuehai City, a middle-aged man with a fat figure was staring at the ledger under the candlelight, his fingers swiping over a series of numbers, and as the last number was calculated, his oily face was also flooded with a tired but satisfied smile.

Last winter's days were not good, although with the blessing of the sea god, there was no tragic scene of starvation and death outside the city, ten rooms and nine emptiness, but compared with previous years, it was already an unimaginable disaster year.

However, for his Shanhaiju, it has become one of the only three remaining restaurants in the city by taking advantage of the continuous wind and snow weather, and if you count the casino in the backyard of the restaurant, it is basically the only one in the city.

A quarter of an hour later, the middle-aged man closed the account book, squinted his eyes and leaned back in the chair, picked up the tea that was already a little cold in his hand and drank it slowly, and began to calculate the business and life of the next few days.

Lord Poseidon blessed.

Although since he took the line of those hunters, because of the best-selling game in the forest on land, he has accumulated a lot of silver in a short period of time, but the silver earned must not be kept, and he must hurry up to spend it and purchase other grains, cloth, and cotton, which is the hard currency that can really save people's lives in this world today.

Also, the last time I received the goods, I heard those Orions say that the imperial court is sending a large army to recover the area cut off by the continuous heavy snow little by little, and maybe it will be able to bring Yuehai City back under its rule after a while, if this is really the case, according to the practice of the Great Wei Dynasty has always disliked ghosts and gods, what will happen if it collides with the Poseidon Sect here?

In addition, the sea has been very unquiet recently, and even the fish tide that should have come has not arrived, could it be that there is something that does not have long eyes that has provoked the anger of the sea god?

If this continues, without the food support of the fish tide, everyone will not even be able to sail out to sea to fish, and I don't know how long the current stable days will last.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare in advance, at least to have a secret place to evacuate, enough food and warm clothing, and be able to support the next possible upheaval.

Thinking of this, he carefully put the ledger in the drawer, then got up and walked to the door and shouted into the corridor, "Little road, little way!"

Not long after, a shopkeeper who was about twenty-six or seventeen years old and looked thin and weak came to answer the call, stopped and sang a fat promise from a distance of two or three steps, straightened up and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, what are your orders?"

"You're busy down there tonight, have you heard any important news?"

"Back to the master, those diners and gamblers didn't say anything new, they just guessed when the wind and waves would stop, and whether the next fish tide would come......

"What's more, these days the wind and waves are getting stronger and stronger, and the heavy rain is falling one after another, and the farmers who have made the land have suffered heavy losses, and they don't know if the seeds planted in the field can survive!"

"Oh, the little one almost forgot one thing, that is, there was an old guest who drank too much tonight, and he had to say that he saw the sea god choosing a concubine, and on the stone mountain in the south of the city, a group of fairies flew into the sky and went straight into the sea. ”

"Heh, don't tell me all this nonsense. ”

The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, touched the tea cup that was already cold, and then put it down again, "If it doesn't rain tomorrow morning, you can go with me outside the city to see the situation of my few plots of land." ”

"Okay, sir. ”

"Go find the kitchen to cook two dishes for me, it's still the old rules, I've been busy for most of the night, but I'm a little hungry. The middle-aged man waved his fat hand, swallowed his saliva and said.

"Okay!" bowed again, turned around and ran a few steps, but was called back by the middle-aged man.

"Well, it's not interesting to eat and drink here alone, why don't you go and ask the kitchen to give the whole table of noodles, and you all come and eat with me. ”

Xiao Luzi blinked in disbelief, and he could make the shopkeeper Zhang say something like inviting guests to dinner, is this the sun coming out in the west?

But no matter what, for a small road that can only be half-full and not hungry every day, it is a good thing to have wine and meat in his stomach, so he doesn't care about what the cause and effect are.

It wasn't until all the things were arranged that Xiao Luzi had to wipe his sweat, sat down carefully at the bottom of the table, and took advantage of the fact that the shopkeeper and a few cooks were clinking glasses and drinking, and violently picked up a few large mouthfuls of food in his mouth.

At this moment, with a bang, the door of the room was slammed open, and a man rushed in with a cloak, fell on the floor and shouted in horror: "Old, master, the big thing is not good, something happened in the city!"

Shopkeeper Huo De stood up, the fat on his face trembled, and said in a trembling voice, "What's wrong?"

"Yes, yes, it's the Sea God who has rebelled!"

The shopkeeper's face turned pale all of a sudden, he took a deep breath, drank a bowl of white wine in his stomach, and said in a deep voice after calming down: "Turn off the lights, and then, who rebelled? Whose rebellion? You speak slowly, I didn't hear it clearly just now." ”

The man gasped and said, "It's the god of the sea, the shrimp soldiers and crabs will come ashore, and the rebels against the Great Wei Imperial Court have rebelled!"
