Chapter 3332: Chapter 3332: Caught the Moment You’re Seen

He’d wanted revenge too, wanted to rush up and perish together with those Evil Cultivators.

But he still had two sons. Their mother had already run off with her master’s household; if he went and died together with the Evil Cultivators, those two sons would starve to death.

What could he do? He was in utter despair too!

If he could choose, he truly wished he hadn’t been born in Rock City. Then his daughter wouldn’t have had to die.

"Beast!"

This time Min Yi wasn’t just cursing in his heart; he cursed out loud.

Those Evil Cultivators who ruined little girls were scum, that was one thing—but that man’s wife, she was really scum too. Anyone who could leave the city with their master’s household was someone who served close at hand; otherwise they’d all have been dismissed already.

She obviously had the ability to do it—take her own husband and three children, and even if they just followed behind her master’s convoy, they still could’ve gotten out of the city.

But she just didn’t do it, and left the children behind in the city to suffer.

If that’s not a beast, what is?

"Brother, what’s the situation like in the Inner City now?" he asked.

He figured that since this man was willing to reach out a hand to pull him up, he must have already seen that he wasn’t from the city.

"The situation in the Inner City, huh."

The man dropped his head and shook it with a bitter smile.

"The Inner City now has been completely taken over by the Evil Cultivators. I heard the City Lord’s whole family has been killed," he said.

Min Yi raised a brow. He already knew about the City Lord being killed; the Evil Cultivator they’d captured earlier had said as much. Wasn’t the Head of the Evil Cultivators the City Lord’s own brother-in-law?

"What about the rest? What about the common folk?" he asked on.

"The common folk? What can the common folk do? Just muddle along and make do." The man shook his head.

"Families like ours, with a bit of savings, can go out at a fixed time every day to buy two jin of grain, and then buy a bit of rotten vegetable leaves or whatever. If there’s a water well at home, you can barely get by. As for families that are worse off, they can’t even afford grain."

It was only because, back when he was still unmarried, his father had buried some money under a tree, and his wife hadn’t known to mention it, that he’d dug it up and just barely managed to scrape by.

All the money he’d earned over the years had been secretly taken away by his wife; she hadn’t left him even a single copper coin.

"Sigh, who knows when days like this will ever end."

Min Yi: "..."

He didn’t know when it would end either, but he knew they would keep going after those Evil Cultivators in the city.

"Brother, tell me more about the situation in the Inner City. Where do you go to buy grain every day, and at what time can you buy it? I just went out to buy grain earlier, and ended up being chased by Evil Cultivators."

They had almost chased him until he couldn’t breathe. He really didn’t understand how those Evil Cultivators could run that fast!

"Every day you can only go out after noon, and you can only stay on the streets for It would be dawn. You’re not allowed to make any commotion, or you’ll be seized. As for places to buy grain—any shops in the city belonging to the Qian, Qi, Hao, or Rong families, you can buy grain there."

The man answered.

"At this time of day, nobody dares walk around outside. As soon as the Evil Cultivators see you, you’ll be grabbed on the spot."

Min Yi: "..."

No wonder—he really had violated a taboo.

But there was nothing he could do about it. They had just gotten here, and were wandering around blind.

"I heard the Patrol Team in the Inner City changed hands yesterday. It used to be led by Chief Xiao, the most powerful leader among the Evil Cultivators, but now it’s Ge Leader. I figure today the common folk are in for another round of misery."
