Today, things happen one after another, making people anxious and tired.

Looking at the stars in the sky twinkling and densely packed into a large glowing starry sky, Shen Ying turned over.

Then, I almost fell off the hammock...

Hey!

When I have money, I will buy the most sturdy and widest bed, the kind that you can roll over ten times without falling off!

The weather is so hot and there is a drought, the only good thing is that there are not so many mosquitoes.

I woke up the next day, found a place to go to the mall to wash up, filled a bamboo cup with water, and another day began.

After two days of traveling, Shen Ying's meals became more and more simple, but Master Ma could no longer complain, because he also knew that there was no water, so he tried to save water as much as possible.

Shen Ying found the right moment and created another puddle, but this time it was Qi Yanchuan who designed it so that someone who went to the toilet would find it. Everyone was now more determined to move forward in the direction of Wanzhou City, and they were also certain that there was more water there.

Shen Ying looked at the map and said, "We're almost there. We'll be there in one day."

Lian Bihe was also very excited, but she relaxed a little later and said, "We are finally here."

Shen Ying was also happy.

The money is finally arriving.

We were about to enter the city, but the road ahead was not very peaceful.

It’s not that they encountered robbery, but most of the people who had previously fled to Wanzhou City to make a living were stranded outside.

Now, unless someone in the city can act as a guarantor, accept the resources, or spend money to go in for repairs, the rest of the people will have to wait outside for the county government's arrangements.

The government office was not abandoned. A shade shed was built and a porridge stall was set up. Every now and then, wealthy families would come out to do charity and give out porridge.

But even if they tried to control it, what could they do? The area three miles outside Wanzhou City was still in a mess.

When the team formed by the Ma family and the Shen family passed by, many people ran after the car and pulled at the clothes of people who looked friendly, praying for some help, not just food but even daily necessities.

"Please, my Lord."

"Master, give me something to eat."

"Madam, look at my child. She is healthy and has good teeth. It will be worthwhile if you buy her back to be a servant girl."

"Oh my poor little son is starving to death."

A mother pulled her daughter and carried her son on her back, trying to exchange her daughter for a few bites of food for her son.

The skinny boy ran after the car, shouting "Please be kind" even at the risk of having his legs and feet crushed by the wheels.

In the shed not far away, all kinds of gazes were cast over, some curious, some begging for mercy, some a little greedy, some hostile, and some hesitant.

The combination of all these images, coupled with the cries of pleas, once again refreshed Shen Ying's concept of the word "escape from famine".

If the mountain deception group felt the hypocrisy of the scam and saw the risks outside their living area, then the group of 30 to 40 refugees they encountered felt the seriousness of fleeing famine for the first time.

The scene before her undoubtedly aggravated the seriousness of the situation, and imprinted the suffering more deeply in Shen Ying's sight and mind.

The convoy was not moving very fast, so this scene remained in front of her eyes for more than half an hour before the carriage she was in continued to move forward.

When they were about to enter the city gate, all members of the Ma family's convoy entered, but the Shen family's convoy was stuck.

"The person in front said that you are not together. If you come here to rest, you need to pay one tael of silver per person for the entrance fee."

Shen Ying was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked for Qi Yanchuan's whereabouts to see how he would deal with it, and then she would do the same.

I didn’t expect to see Qi Yanchuan’s carriage.

She paused and asked Lian Bihe if there was any way to enter the city gate.

"I have to go in before I can contact anyone. I have never dealt with city gates before." Even Bihe has special means to prove her identity, but she can't enter the city gate. Everything is false.

Shen Ying's family only had a few taels of silver, so she planned to take Lian Bihe in first.

However, this excitement made the old lady of the Shen family and the second cousin's wife unhappy.

Zhang Yu squeezed over with the child in his arms: "If you want to go in, let's go in together. Look at all the people outside. Who would dare to live outside? If you hadn't said you wanted to catch up with this convoy, we might have already reached a good place."

Shen Ying didn't even want to pay attention to her, but after being urged by her, she became rebellious.

"Mom and Dad, Lian Bihe and I are going in first because we have something to do. I will also find a way to solve the problem of everyone going into the city. If anyone has any objections, they can either pay for it themselves or go their separate ways."

She glanced at the old lady sitting on her carriage and raised her voice a few degrees.

Shen Youtian wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally swallowed it back.

After the incident with the burrito that day, his wife told him a lot. Although he had to take care of his parents, the burrito was indeed earned by his daughter with her hard work. He directly rejected his daughter's kindness and gave it to other people.

Even if the so-called other person was actually the grandmother, the child had never been so docile since childhood, so he would naturally feel unhappy.

At this time, Shen Youtian remained silent.

Shen Ying took out the money and as soon as she entered the city gate, she and Lian Bihe hurriedly found an inn.

"You show up in such a miserable state. Even if we know someone like you exists, we have to be careful. Go wash up first."

Shen Ying went to the next room and picked and chose a set of Hanfu that was more in line with current clothing styles at a photography agency. It might be a little big for Lian Bihe, but it was better than nothing. There were no tailor-made clothes to choose from at the moment.

After waiting for a while with a new set of clothes in her arms, she handed it to Lian Bihe, then returned to her room, slipped into the space to wash up, washed her hair and took a shower, and her body felt as light as if she had just taken off three pounds of mud.

I ate a bucket of ice fruit and picked out a set of clothes, but the color combination was more like what farmers would wear, and I wore Hanfu that was easy to move in. I put it on and left the mall.

She knew how to tie her hair into a bun, and when she came out, she also gave Lian Bihe, who had been waiting for a long time, a luxurious hairstyle, to cheer her up.

"Now, you can go find the person you want to meet, and don't be prepared to cause any suspicion." After she was dressed like this, she had the noble demeanor of a delicate lady as Shen Ying had seen when he first met her.

Since Lian Bihe's confirmed identity was confidential, Shen Ying watched her go downstairs and also gave her a dagger and a bottle of pepper spray so that she could protect herself.

Sitting in the inn room, Shen Ying lay comfortably on the bed for the first time in days, feeling a subtle mood.

How about living here after getting the money?

Anyway, essentially she doesn't need to spend a lot of money to live.

Turning over, thinking of the hypocritical Qi Yanchuan, Shen Ying pounded the bed hard.

As expected, I hate it in both my lives.

traitor.

Shen Ying had no idea how Lian Bihe would connect, she waited until she fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was not yet dark.

In fact, there are still vendors setting up stalls in the city, which shows that this city has a strong heritage and there are not many signs of disaster.

She bought some food and prepared for the worst. If Lian Bihe was unreliable, she would go out and see the Shen family.

Although she was speechless about Shen Youtian's behavior these days, this father doted on both his previous life and her later life. In ancient society, women living alone were even more miserable, and having a family would be much safer.

She didn't want to be a lone wolf surrounded by strangers and without any confidants, so she would naturally tolerate some minor flaws.

"If this were put in a cool novel, I'd probably be the character that gets scolded to death." Shen Ying suddenly complained to herself.

But she is just an ordinary person. When she first arrived in ancient times, her life safety was the top priority.

As night fell, a quarrel broke out among the Shen family members who were left outside the city.
