The ancestral jade pendant is actually a space, so you don't need to panic when fleeing from fa

Butcher Li led more than ten people from the village and lined up at the end of the team. The officers and soldiers in front would check everyone entering the town.

The city wall of "Hukou Town" is gray in color and not very high, estimated to be only about three meters.

There were soldiers guarding the city walls, wearing uniforms that didn't look very new, and they were standing firm under the scorching sun.

From time to time, there would be wind blowing, and people thought that God was taking pity on them and sending cold wind. But when the wind blew on their bodies, they realized that even the wind was hot.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, it was finally the turn of Li the Butcher and his group.

Butcher Li was a little nervous at this time. After all, they rarely dealt with officers and soldiers, and they didn't know what they were checking.

He was afraid that the officers and soldiers would not let them enter the town or arrest them because they were refugees, so he felt a little scared.

"What are you doing? What are you doing in this town? Are you all here together? Did you bring the household registrations of so many people?

Take it out and let me check it. As for the town now, the county magistrate said that there was a thief some time ago, so the inspection is more strict now.

You must cooperate well and don't have any inappropriate thoughts. Otherwise, I will let you go to jail, understand?"

A soldier wearing an official hat, tall and thin, spoke in a rough voice, and when he came, he immediately noticed that Li the Butcher was a little flustered.

So he shouted loudly at Li the Butcher in a fierce manner.

Li the butcher was a little nervous when he saw the soldiers, but when they spoke to him in such a fierce tone, he became even more frightened.

His legs were shaking violently because of what the officer said. He replied tremblingly:

Sir! We are ordinary people. We are going to the town to buy some food.

We were fleeing famine from other places and just happened to be passing through here. We didn't bring our household registration, but we did have a travel permit.

I can show you the way. Don't worry, we will go to the town to buy something and come back soon, it won't take too much time.

They also went shopping with us. There were more people in the village, so we found a few more people to go with us.”

Butcher Li was frightened by the soldiers. The people around him saw his reaction and pushed him hard a few times before he came to his senses.

He then finished stammering these words, and quietly looked up to observe the officers and soldiers' expressions. Seeing that there was no change, he felt relieved.

He was also afraid that he might accidentally say something wrong and be thrown into jail, and he didn't want to go to jail.

The tall and thin soldier heard what Li the Butcher said, looked at him carefully, and then looked at the person behind him.

They were all skinny men with tattered clothes, and it seemed that they were indeed fleeing from famine.

Judging from your expression, Li the butcher, you are not lying. The officers and soldiers looked at him carefully for a long time, half believing and half doubting. Then they said in a rough voice:

"Are you the only ones here? Didn't your village chief come with you? You just want to buy some things, right?

I tell you, there are not many people in the town now, so you can go into the town.

If we just talk about things, it may not be that easy to buy.

In that case, bring me the pass so I can take a look. When you go in later, don't run around.

If other soldiers see you and catch you, I can't do anything about it."

After the soldier finished speaking, he looked around at Li the Butcher and the others with his sneaky eyes.

It seemed as if his eyes could see through Li the Butcher and the others. The people who followed Li the Butcher had never seen any government soldiers before.

Being stared at like that, I felt a little scared, worried that I might say something wrong and get caught and thrown in jail.

"Don't worry, sir. We are just passing through town to buy some things. Our village chief is old.

So I took them to the town to buy it. Look, this is our pass.

You can rest assured that we will not stay in town too long or run around everywhere.

We mainly wanted to buy some water to drink, we didn't have the money to buy anything else.

All of this was contributed by the people in the village, who pooled together some money to buy these things.

It doesn’t matter whether we buy it or not, we still want to go in and take a look.

After all, children can't stand such a hot day."

Although Li the butcher felt a little tingling under the stare, he tried to remain calm. If he panicked, he would be misunderstood by the officers and soldiers.

He looked like he was going to the town to do something bad. He rummaged around in his pocket for a long time and pulled out a pass.

There was also a bag of money inside, which was their fee for entering the city, and it had been prepared before.

The tall and thin soldier deliberately emphasized the tone of the words "buy things" when he spoke.

Basically, smart people can understand what he means. When he saw the pass coming over, he weighed it in his hand and found it was heavy, so he quietly put the bag of money away.

There was no expression on his face, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

Then he withdrew his gaze, looked at Li Tu and laughed:

"Oh, I was just saying, you look so honest. You must be ordinary people, not thieves. Since you are passing through the town, you can go in first, and remember not to run around.

Otherwise, if you are caught by others, no one will rescue you.

Go in and turn right. There is a restaurant. You can go and see if there is anything you can buy. Okay, go ahead. There is no problem."

The tall and thin soldier weighed the money bag and found that there was still a lot of money, so he had a rough idea of ​​the amount.

Then he changed his face again, and his serious expression suddenly turned into a smiling one.

By the way, he kindly reminded them the location of the restaurant and once again reminded them not to wander around the town and to leave in time after buying things.

When everyone heard the words of the officers and soldiers, the tense nerves in their hearts relaxed immediately. They were really scared just now. They were afraid that they would be arrested if they said the wrong thing. That would be a hopeless situation.

Fortunately, the officer took the money and did not embarrass them too much. Otherwise, they would not know what to do.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I will take them ahead. Sir, you have worked hard here. I will take my leave now."

When Butcher Li saw that the soldiers had taken the silver, he returned the pass and then put it back in his arms.

He bowed slightly, nodded timidly, looked at the officers and soldiers with great concern, and then led the others to the town.
