"What did you say?! There really is a city? And they're giving out porridge?"

"Uncle Village Chief, it's true! There really is a city!"

It wasn't just the head of the village who was excited; everyone who heard it felt like they had taken stimulants. Their legs, which they couldn't lift before, were now moving around so much that they were almost leaving afterimages.

This group of people did not have a pass when they fled. If so many people had entered the city, they would have been beaten and killed.

In other words, they are not recognized and are refugees.

The road pass not only restricted people's freedom of travel, but also increased the difficulty and risk of fleeing famine. That is why everyone had to take the mountain roads.

But now everyone has very little food.

Going into the city is the way out.

According to what the scout team said, there is a porridge stall outside the city, which means that the county magistrate in this city may be a kind person.

They had come a long way, after all, they had come through the mountains.

It just shortened the journey by half.

Judging from the pace of their escape, the refugees now with them are either from nearby or were the first group of people who fled.

They are not too far behind.

Yu Yaozu's originally nervous mood also relaxed a little.

The reason they hurried so fast was because they were afraid that the conscripts would catch up with them. Now it seems that they are doing okay.

As long as they keep walking at this speed, the poor bald refugees behind them will not be able to catch up with them, and they will be safer.

The small city gate tower was visible from a distance. The village head struck the stopped gong and shouted from the ox cart:

"Meeting!"

As soon as the voice fell, the heads of each family put down the reins in their hands, came to the head of the village, surrounded him and waited for him to speak.

"Ahem, the city is not far away, and we don't have much food left, but we are refugees without a pass!"

The headman's voice was a little hoarse as he spoke again: "But we must go into the city for supplies. If we don't enter this city... your wife and children will have to eat wild vegetables and chew tree bark to get to the next city."

Yu Goudan: "Uncle Village Chief, this won't work! We have to go in!"

"That's right! We have to enter this city!"

"We have to go even if we have to pay!"

The village head pressed his hand and said, "We must go in. The question now is how do we get in?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, looking at each other.

"Let's not talk about how to get in for now. Let's go get some porridge first. It's better to drink it first."

This was said by an old lady Zhang [Old Lady Zhang is the one who lives next door to Yu Baibai]. Whenever Old Lady Yu saw her, she would have to say: You can tell at first glance that she is a good housekeeper.

"What Old Lady Zhang said makes sense. We can't come to any conclusion by discussing it here. Let's just go get something to drink first to fill our stomachs. This will also save us a mouthful of our own dry food."

The people in Yujia Village also felt that what he said made some sense.

"Okay, let's go over there and eat some porridge, and find out some information."

The team began to move forward again. The closer they got, the more they realized that there were no refugees nearby. Even next to the city gate, there was a group of people in tattered clothes carrying wood and other things to build houses.

Yu Baibai sat obediently in the mule cart and secretly opened a crack to look out. There was a basin of ice inside the mule cart, and it felt very cool.

"Why did you take off your coat again? Put it on quickly! If you catch a cold now and have to drink that bitter medicine soup, can you bear it?"

Qiao Mu went outside and sat down to chat with Yu Yaozu. When he came back in, he saw that the damn kid was making trouble again.

Yu Baibai pouted: "But it's very comfortable!"

In the past, when she was at home in the summer, she liked to turn on the air conditioner and cover herself with a quilt, which was very comfortable!

Qiao Mu didn't say anything either, just looked at Yu Baibai for three seconds.

Yu Baibai put on her little coat obediently and sat there very sweetly.

After a while, Yu Baibai heard his father's voice:

"Uncle Lizheng, let's split into two teams. We have to leave someone here to look after the luggage."

"Yeah, that's what I said. You take the people to the first wave first, and I'll go after you come back."

Yu Yaozu: You old man...

"Okay! Let Yu Fei come with me!"

Humph! Even if I go, I'll take your son with me!

"Puff! Dad! Dad! I'm going too!" Yu Baibai couldn't help laughing inside, and was about to go out while yelling.

"What are you doing! Making trouble! We don't know what's going on over there! Be careful or some kidnappers might kidnap you!" How could his own child not know how to use his kindness?

"Daddy~Daddy~" Yu Baibai stood on the shaft of the cart, shaking his little butt!

Qiao Qingfeng couldn't help it, he stopped the ox cart and walked over, hugging Yu Baibai:

"Let's go! Grandpa will take you there!"

"Grandpa is the best!" Baji kissed Qiao Qingfeng on the face, making Qiao Qingfeng excited.

This makes Mr. Yu jealous~

The pipe in my hand is almost broken.

Yu Yaozu had no choice but to accept his fate. The worst that could happen was that he would just have to keep a closer eye on things.

Soon, they arrived at the city gate.

There were many people queuing at the porridge distribution area. Yu Baibai excitedly jumped out of Qiao Qingfeng's arms and followed Yu Fei to queue up.

The line was very long. Yu Baibai looked around, curiously observing everything around him.

Finally it was their turn. Yu Baibai was small, so he took half a bowl of hot porridge, blew on it, and started drinking it in small sips.

There were only a few grains of rice floating in the porridge, and it was so thin that it couldn't be thinner. Although I wasn't hungry, I was very thirsty!

Is being full just enough to drink water considered being full?

At this moment, she noticed a dirty little boy next to her, staring at the porridge in her hand.

Yu Baibai looked at his own bowl, then at the little boy, hesitated for a moment, and handed the bowl to him: "Drink it!"

The little boy looked at her gratefully, took the bowl of porridge and drank it in big gulps.

Seeing this, Qiao Qingfeng touched Yu Bainiao's head to express his approval.

Drinking my porridge with Yu Baibai, you take a sip and I take a sip, there is a warm feeling in it.

After drinking the porridge, he took Yu Baibai for a walk at the city gate.

Four officers were standing at the door, and a notice was posted on the wall next to it.

One of the officers took a look at Yu Baibai, a small figure with a chubby face, and took two steps forward.

"Can you understand, old man?"

Before Qiao Qingfeng could speak, Yu Baibai raised her little head and said softly:

"Brother officer, what's written on this?"

Yu Baibai said that it would be better for you to ask the officials directly instead of asking about the refugees.

Even if it means selling your body!

The official was delighted and bent over, pointing at the notice:

"It's written here where you're going!"

"Thank you for your help, sir!" Qiao Qingfeng didn't expect that his granddaughter, who was so young, could still mislead people!

"It's part of your job. What they've said is that you can work and build your own houses outside the city gates. Once everyone is counted, you can be incorporated into the local area."

After saying that, the officer looked around to see if there was anyone around and lowered his voice:

"I'm telling you to continue heading north. Don't stop here. I guess you've run out of food. If you trust me, tonight at midnight, hear the cat meow three times in the upper right corner, and I'll bring you a thousand kilograms of food!"

Qiao Qingfeng: "!!!"

"really?"

"really!"

"it is good!"
