So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

After receiving the paper, Father Lin carefully put it away. He arranged for a few villagers to wait outside the city, and then led them towards the government office.

Chen Erye also took the household registration and followed Lin Laoye to the government office. Suihe and Second Mistress were waiting at the city gate.

As time went by, more and more people gathered around.

"They are back! They are back!" Sister Liang saw a group of people coming towards the city gate, led by Father Lin.

Father Lin had an obvious smile on his face.

"How is it?" Second Grandma saw Second Grandpa's face was also full of joy

"It's done." The second grandfather didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly

The second grandmother was relieved: "It's good that it works, it's good that it works"

Everyone in Linjia Village was also happy. A horse-drawn carriage came from the official road not far away. The carriage passed by Suihe and the others at high speed. The wind blew open the curtains. Cui Yian saw Suihe with his back to him.

The figure was thin and small, just like an ordinary little girl. As a soldier, he had seen a lot of people, and he recognized Sui He at a glance as a girl dressed as a man. When going out, it is indeed much more convenient to dress as a man than a woman.

It's just that he always felt like he had seen this little girl somewhere, but he couldn't remember where for a while.

"What are you looking at?" Qi Xiuyuan, who was sitting opposite him, looked out of the car curiously, but saw nothing.

"Nothing." Cui Yian came back to his senses: "When are you going back?"

"Why go back? It's my grandmother's birthday this time. She's happy, but she promised me that she won't interfere in my affairs." Qi Xiuyuan put down the fan in his hand.

"How did you get your grandmother to let you go?"

"Secret" Qi Xiuyuan smiled mysteriously. Qi Xiuyuan's ancestral home is in Mocheng. Mocheng has snow for three seasons out of the four seasons. The Qi family has been doing business for generations. When it came to his father's generation, because the business was big, the whole family moved to Shangjing.

I didn't miss it when I was young, but I started to miss home when I got older. However, my grandmother was old and my family was worried about her. In addition, there were not many familiar people in my hometown, so they did not agree to my grandmother returning to her hometown to retire.

After mentioning it several times and seeing her children and grandchildren disagree, my grandmother gave up the idea of ​​going back. However, she kept thinking about it in her heart and thought that she would never be able to go back in this lifetime.

When Qi Xiuyuan presented the birthday gift to his grandmother, she was stunned, tears welled up in her eyes, and she held the snow globe tightly.

From then on, Qi Xiuyuan was the most important person in the family except for his grandmother. If anyone dared to lecture Qi Xiuyuan, he would run to his grandmother's yard the next second. No matter whether it was his father or his mother who chased him, they dared not speak loudly in front of his grandmother.

His parents were furious, and he also knew that his grandmother was old and had little energy, so he found an opportunity to run away with his bag on his back. Anyway, he had an older brother at home, so he let his older brother take care of the family business. He refused to do it.

He traveled all the way to Yingcheng to seek refuge with his cousin Cui Yian.

Seeing Qi Xiuyuan didn't say anything, Cui Yian didn't ask any more questions.

While Cui Yian and Qi Xiuyuan were chatting along the way, the carriage soon arrived at the largest inn in Yingcheng.

"Please come in, gentlemen." Seeing people getting off the carriage, the waiter came forward to greet them warmly.

"A room upstairs." Cui Yian casually threw a silver ingot to the waiter.

"Okay, please come in, sir. Boss, please give me a room upstairs." The waiter took the silver and happily took the two of them upstairs.

After entering the room, Cui Yian walked to the table, sat down and poured himself a glass of water.

Qi Xiuyuan looked around the room, then walked to the window, opened it and looked out at the busy traffic.

"Yingcheng is quite lively." Qi Xiuyuan said.

"Yeah." Cui Yian responded casually, "You should take a rest first. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow."

"Okay." Qi Xiuyuan nodded.

The sun was high in the sky. Suihe and his group followed the instructions of passers-by and walked towards the distance. The end of the road was their destination.

Qingshan Village

As soon as you hear the name, you know that the place is surrounded by mountains. As long as they are surrounded by mountains, they can survive. Everyone in Linjia Village is chattering about how to settle down and live.

"I have a lot of strength. I will go up to the mountain to hunt pheasants and rabbits for you to eat." Lin Youwang drew a picture of a pancake for the children in the village, which made everyone laugh.

"Brother Youwang, take me with you when the time comes. You can teach me how to hunt, so that we can both have meat to eat."

Everyone chatted and laughed and soon arrived at Qingshan Village.

But when they arrive at their destination, are you sure that the scenery in front of you is really Qingshan Village?

In front of me was a large plain covered with withered yellow weeds. There were mountains, but only a few low peaks were located on the plain. However, at a glance, it was all bare land and a few sparse saplings on the mountain.

There are several thatched houses at the foot of the mountain, and several acres of fertile land in front of the thatched houses.

The villagers of Linjia Village looked at each other in confusion and disappointment. Is this Qingshan Village? Why is it so deserted?

"Is this Qingshan Village?" a villager muttered.

"This is Qingshan Village, what are you doing here?" There was a huge paulownia tree on the side of the road, and under the tree sat a few ladies who had already noticed Suihe and his group.

One of the ladies stood up and looked you up and down, "You are here to escape, right? This place is close to the border, and there were wars every day in the past few years. People in the village fled and left. Now the war has subsided, and those who can come back have returned. As for those who didn't come back, I guess they will never come back again." The lady sighed heavily.

The villagers of Linjia Village looked at each other, and their originally excited mood cooled down at this moment.

"Isn't it said that Yingcheng is a good place? Can everyone eat rice and flour? How come..." Sister Liang was muttering to Aunt Liu in the back.

"Those officials are lying to you. Yingcheng is short of people right now. If they don't say something nice, how could you possibly come? Now that you've seen it, you can leave if you don't want to stay."

"But if you want to stay, we don't object. It's just that life here might not be easy," another lady interrupted.

Sui He bit her lip and looked at the others. Everyone looked very serious.

"Have we been deceived by those officials? Village chief, what should we do?" a villager asked Lin Lao

Father Lin was also in a dilemma. He had originally thought that coming to Yingcheng was a good choice. When he first saw the name, he thought that they would be given a good place. But now he realized that they were a group of refugees from other places. How could a powerless family leave a good place for them?

He was careless, but could he go back in this situation? This group of people, young and old, couldn't stand it any longer. Besides, even if they left, where could they go? They could only choose to stay here.

"Thank you, Auntie. Could you take us to see your village chief? We want to discuss our future matters," Sui He said firmly to the chatting Auntie.
