Chapter 131: Closing the Shop
The plaid backpack ended up in Tang Yi's hands, and he was a little embarrassed, "Why should I return this to the castellan's sister? We don't even know her yet."
Generally, the Castellan's emails received by children are just notifications; they cannot reply.
Ana raised her hand and suggested: "Send the email back to her. We haven't received it, but my dad has. He can reply."
"Yes."
"My mother can reply too."
It's their own business, let them solve such trivial matters by themselves.
They didn't pay special attention to where the city lord and the others were going. After all, the city lord could suddenly disappear at any time, so there was no need to find out about it.
The last checkered backpack was handed over to An An, not for anything else because An An's father was the most powerful, they didn't understand, but their family understood and had mentioned it to them.
Children are very good at winking. The one who has the strongest parent in the current situation has the highest right to speak among them.
In this way, An An returned home with a plaid backpack, and she planned to ask her father to reply and return it to the city lord.

Xuantian City is hot, while Longjiao City is very cold. The family of three were sleeping in the bedroom to keep warm, but now the young man heard the creaking sound outside, someone was outside.
If you want to know why you can hear so clearly, it's because the city-state is too quiet, and you can hear any movement outside.
To prevent the cold wind from pouring into the bedroom, the young man decided to open the window in the living room to take a look.
The middle-aged woman called her son, "Xiaochen, wait a minute," and handed him the cup filled with hot water, "Hold it in your arms to keep warm; it's too cold outside."
"Hey." The person called
Xiaochen The young man grabbed the cup, regardless of how hot it was, and wrapped it directly into his clothes.
When the door opened, he immediately slipped through and closed it, but the middle-aged couple inside still felt the cold wind blowing on their faces.
He walked quickly to the window, closed his eyes to prepare mentally, and then opened the window, just as the sound of footsteps approached from below them.
As soon as the window was opened, the blowing cold wind blew on his face, and his warm face immediately cooled down. For a moment, he felt that his face seemed to have become stiff.
He stretched his head slightly, and saw the patrolling NPCs under the window. "Oh... NPCs," he muttered.
That's right, they will be able to walk around the city, and they thought it was someone in the city who was going to leave here together with Woolen cloth.
He immediately closed the window, shrunk his neck, and ran back to the bedroom quickly.
"It's the NPCs on patrol. I don't think anyone would dare to leave. It's too cold. I felt like the hairs on my face were covered in frost just now."
The middle-aged couple was a little disappointed, "Come here to warm up."
The ordinary people of this place were very disappointed, but He Ange in the City Lord's Mansion was having a happy life.
A pile of firewood was burning in the fireplace in the mansion. Although the ordinary residents did not go out to collect firewood themselves, there were family members of professional residents who went out to collect it.
Later, it was discussed to let them come out and just hand in 90% of the supplies, but those people still didn't go out without knowing their acquaintances.
It was a pity that some professional residents were now divorced from him. Thinking of the two city lords he knew who had disbanded their city-states and left, He Ange didn't want to do that.
Just like now that he is the lord of the city, he can stay in the warm mansion of the lord of the city and has sufficient resources. Even if he doesn't go out this winter, he doesn't have to worry about food and drink.
It's just what to do in the spring of next year, those people seem determined to leave.
He Ange sent emails to the members of his team, wanting to invite them to the City Lord's Mansion for a meal, but no one had replied to him yet.
He gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "I don't know good from bad!"
If this situation continues, his city-state will have to shut down next spring.
Thinking of this, He Ange showed a stern expression on her face, "Since you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous."
Some people in Longjiao City are not doing well, but some are still doing well, such as the professional residents in the city. There are no other ordinary residents to share resources this autumn.
Their families have collected a lot of supplies, including food, vegetables, fruits, and firewood; it is enough to sustain them through the winter or even longer.
The deputy captain of the Castellan's team was surrounded by a group of family members who had died during the previous incident, and their cries continued to echo in his ears for a long time.
He also saw the ruthlessness of the city lord. At first, he was worried when he was questioned, but later he realized that He Ange didn't care about his abandoned teammates at all.
Fortunately, a few of them survived. At that time, most of the flying catkins were chasing them, and they didn't care about the few people scattered in the giant forest.
The deputy captain, although usually strict, was just an ordinary person before Doomsday, and he could transform into an extremely cold-blooded character within a few months.
He couldn't accept the indifference of the city lord, and he couldn't accept his teammates who hadn't waited to catch up at the time, but they were probably the ones waiting for them to die.
What he can do now is to compensate the families of several teammates within his ability. Some of these people just want to take the opportunity to blackmail him, while others lack winter supplies.
Right now, he was going out to help the family members buy some warm clothes and heating supplies.
The vice-captain's wife tidied his clothes, "Put more on when you go out, it's very cold outside." She said and handed him the coat that she had already hung up in advance.
The deputy captain said with a sullen expression, "It's okay."
The wife didn't say anything more; she just said, "Come back early."
She knew what happened a few days ago. This is her husband, and everything he did was for the survival of the family members.
"Don't blame yourself too much. Venturing into the wilderness is risky. It's good that you are willing to help them purchase supplies."
It was an undeniable fact that these professional residents had to get out of the squad, and no one could or needed to take responsibility for their safety.
The vice-captain put his hand on his wife's shoulder and rubbed it lightly, "Don't worry, that's all I do."
He opened the door and walked out of the house. It was a lodging house, and the surrounding area was eerily quiet, except for the sound of his footsteps.
The deputy captain had never decided to settle here permanently, so even though he had saved up five thousand city-state resources, he didn't hand them in.
He Ange asked him about it at the time. At that time, he used the excuse that his parents and his wife's family were competing for the official residence quota to keep the resources.
Flood Dragon City has never been peaceful, he knew in his heart that one day he would leave.
Unknowingly, he reached the gate of the borrowing hall and walked to the tailor shop.
The filtering effect of the protective cover of the second-level city-state is not as good as that of the third-level protective cover. Walking on the street, the snow flooded his shoes. Fortunately, he was wearing leather boots today.
Upon arriving at the tailor's shop, I discovered that the door was closed. It was well past ten o'clock in the morning, so it seemed reasonable that the shop should have been open.
With doubts, he turned to the forging shop, but the door was also closed here.
Something is wrong.
After walking around the entire city-state, all of the shops had closed.
The vice-captain had no choice but to go home. His wife was a little curious when she saw him coming back so early, "So soon, is there no one in the store?"
The vice-captain took off his coat and handed it to his wife, "No, all the shops in the city-state are closed."
The wife's hand holding the coat was frozen, "Can those shops still be closed?"
He nodded, "Of course, as long as the city lord thinks."
