However, this was also not something that a wooden saber could do.
As he watched Ikoma and Hatsukura grow up day by day, Lin Yu felt a sense of urgency about the impending crisis.
The most important thing now was to find a way to get an iron saber.
Lin Yu pondered silently as he returned to his room to change out of his sweaty clothes.
In such a place, if one accidentally fell sick, it was almost like waiting for death. As long as one could not withstand it, there was no condition for treatment at all.
If you can't even afford to eat, how can you have the money to treat your illness?
In the narrow room that was only about ten square meters, Ikoma and Hatsukura were sleeping soundly under a thin, starched blanket.
There were three bowls of porridge on the table. They could almost see their figures. This was their breakfast.
As for lunch, the Fujiwara family would send people to deliver some porridge to the outskirts every afternoon so that most of the civilians would not starve to death. As for whether they could get it, it would depend on luck and strength.
Eating only two meals a day was also a norm.
She finished the porridge on the table in one gulp and woke Ikuma and Hatsuying up to eat.
These two little fellows were now thirteen and twelve years old. They were at the age where they were lively and active. However, this kind of poor life made these two children more sensible.
She obediently finished the porridge without making any noise and went back to bed to sleep.
When one's stomach was not full, lying still was the best way to conserve energy. One would not feel hungry in their sleep.
Seeing that the two of them had fallen asleep again, Lin Yu covered them with a blanket. He took his wooden sword and the tools for setting up a stall, pushed open the door, and walked out of the alley.
There was a wide street outside the alley, but it was not as bustling as he had imagined. On the contrary, it was very deserted.
Not to mention the stalls on the street, there weren't even many pedestrians. Only a few people were walking in a hurry towards the city wall.
These were commoners who were rushing to work. The remuneration for their daily work was given on the same day. For commoners, not working for a day was equivalent to not having food to eat.
Lin Yu walked on the street that was shrouded in a negative and desperate atmosphere. His expression was as calm as ever. Clearly, this was not the first time.
This place was equivalent to the slums of the Sugu Posthouse. It was normal to have such an atmosphere.
This time, he didn't come out to wander around idly. Lin Yu naturally wouldn't do something that would waste his energy.
In the morning, there were few people in the slums except for a few places. Usually, it would only be a little lively when the Fujiwara family came to give out porridge in the afternoon.
Lin Yu came out early because he wanted to occupy a better stall in advance so that it would be convenient for him to get the porridge and do business.
As for the long saber, Lin Yu could only postpone it for the time being. This was not something that could be obtained in a hurry.
Although this was a chaotic world, with Kabane watching from outside the city, the control of such weapons was still very strict.
After all, there were so many people who did not have enough to eat. If they did not control them, it would be a troublesome matter for the managers of the various cities.
Only the Fujiwara family warriors could walk on the streets with their swords.
As for snatching a samurai's sword, Lin Yu would not do such a stupid thing. The difference between commoners and samurai was not so easy to bridge.
Moreover, in such a dilapidated slum, almost no warrior would come alone, so Lin Yu did not have the chance.
Otherwise, with Lin Yu's current strength, it would not be a problem for him to deal with a lone warrior.
"Ta... Ta... Ta..."
Lin Yu walked on the street. His crisp footsteps attracted the dark gazes of many rooms.
Not everyone cared about labor. Many of them were refugees from other cities. They had a hopeless attitude towards life and quietly stayed at home waiting for death.
Every month, the Fujiwara family's guards would take away countless rotten corpses from the slums.
Ignoring these lifeless gazes, Lin Yu walked for about seven to eight minutes and arrived at a relatively " prosperous " street in the slums.
This was the place where the Fujiwara family came to give out porridge at noon every day.
Compared to the deserted street before, there were obviously more people here. Many people had the same goal as Lin Yu and started to set up stalls.
Lin Yu found a slightly shady and quiet spot. He set up his stall and sat down quietly on the ground. He placed the wooden knife on his knees and closed his eyes to meditate.
Although he said that he was doing some small business, in fact, it was just that Lin Yu accidentally discovered some herbs similar to those in his previous life.
In a place like the slums where doctors were scarce, these herbs that could stop bleeding after being chewed were already life-saving things.
Lin Yu transplanted a few herbs and raised them at home. He could get new herbs every once in a while. Although he didn't earn much, he could still exchange them for a lot of food.
As time passed, the slightly chilly temperature in the morning began to gradually rise.
The warm sunlight shone through the roof and onto the street, making him feel warm.
