    Zhongzhou Fucheng.

    Countless refugees crowded outside the city gate, sitting together in twos and threes. These people were either numb, hopeful, or desperate looking at the closed city gate.

    At this moment, Daohua and the others were also among the refugees, and their expressions were not very good.

    ¡°I finally arrived at Fucheng, but I didn¡¯t expect that I couldn¡¯t even enter the city gate.¡± Daohua looked depressed.

    Xiao Yeyang said: "This situation is normal. A refugee riot broke out not long ago. Now that the city gate is opened, refugees are pouring into the city. Who knows if there will be any trouble?"

    Daohua: "But with so many refugees gathered here, the government can't say they don't care?"

    "Who said it doesn't matter anymore?"

    Someone next to me interjected.

    Daohua looked over immediately: "Old man, do you know any news?"

    Seeing that everyone around him was looking over, the old man who spoke straightened himself up, coughed a few times, and said: "Yesterday I was wandering at the gate of the city and heard the gatekeepers say that high officials from Beijing came a few days ago."

    "A senior official in Beijing?"

    "Isn't that right? I heard that they came with a lot of soldiers. There is a drought in the north, so the high officials from Beijing are here to provide relief."

    Hearing this, everyone else looked excited, but Xiao Yeyang's eyes flashed and he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

    At noon, officers and soldiers came out of the city, carrying buckets of steaming rice buckets.

    As soon as they appeared, the refugees rushed over.

    Within a moment, a long queue formed outside the city gate.

    Daohua asked Sun Ma to guard Mrs. Yan, while she took Yan Wentao and went to line up with Sun Bo, Xiao Yeyang, and Zhao Ergou.

    They had no choice but to throw away all their baggage. Although they still had banknotes with them, they couldn't enter the city and couldn't exchange them, so they had to queue up to get porridge.

    While waiting in line, Xiao Yeyang didn't know what he saw, and suddenly ran out of the line. After Zhao Ergou saw it, he rolled his eyes, glanced at Daohua who was waiting in line to receive porridge, gritted his teeth, and quickly followed.

    When Yan Wentao told Daohua, she turned around and only saw the two people's backs disappearing among the crowded refugees.

    Daohua frowned: "What are the two of them doing?"

    Yan Wentao shook his head: "I don't know, Yeyang seems to have seen something."

    Daohua's expression changed: "Ignore them, let's get the porridge. Grandma has been hungry all night."

    Yan Wentao is good at everything.

    In his eyes, Xiao Yeyang and Zhao Ergou are just two passers-by, no comparison to his grandmother and sister.

    After queuing for more than half an hour, Daohua, Yan Wentao, and Uncle Sun received three bowls of porridge, took them back, and shared them with Mrs. Yan and Aunt Sun.

    Mrs. Yan looked at her grandchildren with distress: "It's good to have this experience, so that you can taste the hardships of life in advance." After speaking, she sighed and looked around.

    "Why haven't Yang Xiaozi and Er Gouzi come back? Could something have happened?"

    Daohua was unsure: "Probably not, that guy Xiao Yeyang looks quite smart."

    Mrs. Yan shook her head: "No matter how smart he is, he is only a half-year-old child now. When he meets an adult, he will only suffer."

    Yan Wentao: "How about Uncle Sun and I go look for it?"

    Mrs. Yan pondered for a moment: "Don't go too far, just look around. If people are really lostit should be their lives."

    Yan Wentao and Uncle Sun left. Daohua sat back next to Mrs. Yan and muttered: "It's not that unlucky."

    ¡°But thinking about Xiao Yeyang¡¯s unlucky nature of encountering human traffickers wherever he goes, he is not sure.

    After a while, Yan Wentao and Uncle Sun came back dejectedly.

    The two of them shook their heads at Mrs. Yan and Daohua.

    Daohua forced a smile and said: "Didn't Xiao Yeyang see someone? Maybe it's his family. He might have gone home now. Zhao Ergou will be fine if he follows him."

    Mrs. Yan sighed: "I hope so."

    Having said that, several people are still looking forward to the two of them coming back.

    No matter what, after spending so much time together, they wouldn¡¯t worry if they didn¡¯t see whether the two of them were safe or not.

    Unfortunately, Xiao Yeyang and Zhao Ergou did not come back that night.

    The next day, there was still no sign of the two of them.

    Daohua looked at the city gate that was still closed, and then at the thinner old lady Yan: "Mom, I don¡¯t know how long it will take for the city gate to open. Xiao Yeyang and Zhao Ergou will probably not come back. Otherwise, should we go?  "

    Mrs. Yan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Let's go, walk slowly. Even if we beg along the road, we still have to go to Linyi County."

    Daohua smiled and said in a low voice: "Of course, you forgot that your granddaughter still has a banknote on her." If you can't get into Fucheng, it's impossible that none of the other cities on the road can get in.

    " To take a step back, even if you can't enter these cities, you can always meet one or two wealthy households. At that time, at worst you will suffer some losses, but you will definitely be able to exchange for money.

    Even if they take a step back and cannot exchange for money, Daohua can ensure that they can reach Linyi County safely. Don't forget, she still has some space. She can secretly take out some food to keep everyone hungry.

    On the third day, when the sky was slightly bright, Daohua and the others left Fucheng and walked towards Linyi County.

    Not long after they left, a group of armored soldiers suddenly came outside the city gate. These soldiers searched among the refugees for a while, but finally returned without success¡ª¡ª

    Half a month later.

    The five Daohua people who looked like beggars looked at the stone tablet with the three characters "Linyi County" engraved on it with tears in their eyes.

    "Grandma, after passing this stone monument, we will enter Linyi County."

    "Okay, okay, okay!"

    Mrs. Yan choked with sobs and said three good words in a row.

    Daohua was also relieved.

    It¡¯s ancient times. As long as she rides in a carriage, she will complain that the carriage is bumpy and unstable. But after walking for more than half a month, she no longer complains about the carriage.

    No matter how bumpy the carriage is, it is still better than walking on two legs.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll see your parents soon.¡±

    Daohua took a look at the clothes they were wearing and asked: "Grandma, if we go to see our father like this, will they"

    Mrs. Yan¡¯s eyes immediately widened: ¡°What¡¯s going on? Could it be that he still dares to despise me, old lady?¡±

    Daohua smiled bitterly.

    He will not dislike the old lady, but he will dislike her.

    She has not grown up with her parents since she was a child, and people need to get along with each other. To say how much her parents love her, she doesn't believe it.

    "Let's go, what are you afraid of? With grandma here, no one can bully you."

    Linyi County, at the gate of the county government.

    The gatekeeper was discussing where to go after get off work and was talking enthusiastically when he suddenly noticed a pungent smell. When he raised his head, he discovered that there were five more beggars in front of the gate of the county government.

    "My lord, may I ask, is this the county government of Linyi County?" Uncle Sun stepped forward and asked with a smile.

    "Go, go, go, where did the beggar come from? Where did he come from?" The yamen servants in front of the gate all chased Uncle Sun out with disgust on their faces.

    Uncle Sun still wanted to ask, but a yamen servant was a little impatient and raised the saber on his waist as if to strike at Uncle Sun.

    "what are you doing?"

    Yan Wentao was startled when he saw it. He ran over quickly, grabbed the yamen servant's arm, and rescued Uncle Sun.

    "You are so bold and cunning, you dare to run wild in front of the county government office. Are you impatient with life?" Other government officials stepped forward one after another. There were so many of them that they crushed Yan Wentao to the ground in a few seconds.

    Seeing how they treated Yan Wentao, Mrs. Yan was so angry that she lost her temper.

    "You guys stop it!"

    Daohua was also angry and anxious. She handed Old Mrs. Yan to Sun Ma, ran up quickly, pointed at the yamen servant, and said sternly: "My father is Yan Zhigao, the magistrate of Linyi County. If you dare to touch me  Brother, I want you to look good."

    As soon as these words came out, the yamen servants who were still smiling and proud were stunned on the spot.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
