Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

The old doctor was going crazy. Where did this girl come from? Why was she so cruel?

He hoped that someone around him or an official could help him speak up and save him. But after a long while, no one spoke up for him. The old doctor was so anxious that he was panting, sweating, and sobbing in his throat, as if he was desperately begging for mercy or cursing.

Lin Xiaoyue sneered, some people are so self-righteous.

All the refugees who could reach the provincial capital had struggled through the Shura Field. They had seen all kinds of monsters along the way, including cannibalism, the trafficking of women and children, and the killing of relatives with bones exposed in the wild. In just a few months, they had experienced endless disasters. Those who could reach here had almost become numb in their hearts. Who would sympathize with a stranger who was insignificant to them?

And didn't those officials see that she used the green pass? This person rushed over on his own accord, and she didn't take the initiative to pick a fight. What's wrong with a little resistance in public?

"Old man, have you ever heard that the one who flirts first is a slut?" Lin Xiaoyue didn't give the old man any face at all. She held up his collar with one hand and patted his dry cheek with the other hand. "Don't think you're the only smart person in the world. Your abacus beads have all fallen on my face. You better be more restrained."

The old doctor was already quite old, and he was a well-known doctor in the state capital. Everyone he met always respected him. He had never seen a woman like this who would cut off someone's arm or jaw if they had a disagreement with him.

Only women and villains are difficult to raise.

The old doctor regretted it very much at this time. Why couldn't he control his mouth? But under normal circumstances, when he said that, the other party should immediately agree with his proposal, and then discuss the treatment plan together. After that, the prescription they discussed cured a large number of refugees, and he gained both fame and fortune. From then on, he became famous among doctors and became a person who could be compared with the descendants of Medicine King Valley in the country...

How come everything is completely different from what he expected?

Looking at the old man's distracted eyes, Lin Xiaoyue roughly guessed that this person must have been suffering from too much psychological pressure during this period, unable to relieve the pressure and having no place to release it, and finally couldn't bear it at a certain critical point and lost control.

Simply put, my mentality collapsed.

When the apocalypse first arrived, many people had clearly escaped the first wave of zombie mutations at home, but after a few days, they were immersed in endless terror day and night, and they waited for no rescue. Those with poor psychological endurance could not stand the invisible pressure, some chose to jump off the building, and some directly rushed into the zombie group, also striving for a relief.

Looking at the old doctor's hand which was like a puddle of mud, Lin Xiaoyue's heart flashed with complexity. She had no intention of pursuing the matter of him setting a trap for Doctor Li to fall into. She simply threw the man aside and walked towards the city gate.

Once you enter the city gate, the scene inside is completely different from that outside.

The roads in the provincial capital are much wider and more prosperous than the roads in Wuyue Town and even the official roads.

The road was paved with blue bricks, and carriages and pedestrians were everywhere. Shops were lined up one after another. The streets were full of hawkers, and the hawking sounds and the tempting aroma of food kept pouring into people's ears and noses, making everyone drool.

Unfortunately, their miserable appearance is really intimidating. Even if they have money to enter the store, they will be driven out.

There was no other way but to swallow their saliva and follow the leading soldier to the inn near the government office.

Because they were the very few people who could be allowed into the city, in order to prevent the refugees from moving around and causing trouble to local residents, the government specially designated inns near the county government as temporary residences for the refugees who were specially approved to settle in Yongzhou.

The leading soldier first received the silver from the village head, and then saw a person who had to salute even the captain. Although he had only been in the army for two years, he didn't know much about the special badges of the superiors. But seeing the captain's polite attitude towards this group of people, he knew that the person holding the badge must be an extremely noble person.

Otherwise, Qianhu is a fifth-rank official, and even he has to call him "sir". How can I afford to neglect him?

For various reasons, the little soldier tried his best to explain in detail the precautions such as not walking around the city at will, not causing trouble, which places they can go and which places they cannot go.

Finally, after sending the people to the inn, he also greeted the shopkeeper on their behalf, and asked the shopkeeper and the waiter to treat them well and not to neglect them.

Although this group of people were inconspicuous, they had received special instructions from the official. Naturally, the shopkeeper and the waiter did not dare to neglect them and agreed repeatedly.

After seeing the soldier off, everyone asked about the price and booked a few rooms to move in.

Because of the official's instructions and the generous tips given by several families, the waiter brought hot water and tea, and also asked if they wanted some food.

Although the group had not lacked food and drink along the way, they had finally arrived at a safe place to stay. They really did not have the energy to cook, so they just ordered a few main dishes to be delivered to the room.

Come to think of it, even for a big place like the provincial capital, there is no shortage of water yet.

After asking around, they learned that Yongzhou City had abundant underground water resources. The wealthy families had dug deep wells, and ordinary families generally had a public well every few alleys. Therefore, Yongzhou City was not as thirsty for water as the places they had passed by during their escape.

Almost every family had finished their meal and chose to take a good wash.

Since we couldn't walk around randomly, we chose the nearest clothing store and bought two sets of clothes and a pair of cloth shoes for each person in the family. When we got back to the inn, we took a nice bath and changed into clean clothes. Only then did we feel refreshed.

Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi had a rare chance to relax, so they thought of taking Xiaocao, Xiaosi, Xiaowu, Chunxing, and the hunter's little wife out for a walk to see if there was anything they needed to buy. They could buy some first.

Actually, I was just feeling very depressed. I finally made it into the city and wanted to buy some snacks and pastries to satisfy my hunger.

As for the women and children in each household, they took the clothes they had stored up during this period and the clothes they had just taken off and went to the well behind the inn to wash all the clothes.

Because the water consumption in this area was quite large, several families paid more to the shopkeeper for water.

The shopkeeper originally thought that they used too much water and was about to say something, but they paid him so readily that he had nothing to say.

When the women and children saw that the shopkeeper had been sent away, they couldn't help but laugh out loud. Alas, life is really not easy these days. Even to wash clothes one has to spend money to buy water. No one knows when this natural disaster will be over. Life is so difficult for ordinary people.

Several women and children were talking, but unexpectedly, a familiar figure approached them unknowingly.
