Chapter 23
Outside the gate of Fanling City.

"Girl, what if we can't get into the city?"

Zhu Yu Xilihulu finished the porridge in the bowl, thought for a while and stretched out his tongue to lick the bowl.

"ask him."

Jing Yunyan was drinking porridge while holding his notched bowl, when he was suddenly called by his name, and suddenly felt that his image was much more stalwart.

"It's obviously impossible for so many people to enter the city together. There are too many hungry people here. The Feng family is quite generous, and the porridge is generous enough to put chopsticks in."

"Yes, yes, it's very thick." After a while, Zhu Yu had already licked the bowl clean.

Shu Yingtong drank the porridge silently, hoping that Miss Feng, who was praised as the living Guanyin by the hungry people, could save sentient beings for a few more days.

Looking up at the city gate, another family was stopped by the guards. This family didn't look poor.

Clean oil car, and maids.

They were all blocked, and the refugees themselves didn't have to run into a wall at all.

"Jing Yunyan, what do you want to enter the city?"

"It's not for anything. Let's put it this way, you have to prove that your going to Fanling City is the icing on the cake."

"What do you mean? You still need to bring flowers? Where can I pick them now?" Zhu Yu leaned over with her head tilted.

"He said that beggars like you don't go to the city." Shu Yingtong stretched out his hand and pushed back the head that was in front of him.

Seeing Zhu Yu staring eagerly at the bowl of porridge in her hand, she flipped the porridge back into her bowl.

"I'm not going to beg for food." Zhu Yu took a big mouthful of porridge, feeling aggrieved.

"Then what can you do in Fanling City?"

"Ah... here... there is no field in the city for me to plant, and there is no mountain for me to chop firewood... You stop me. I haven't been to the city yet... I just want to go and see..."

Zhu Yu hung her head in frustration, the porridge in the bowl didn't feel fragrant any more, she poked the bottom of the bowl with her chopsticks.

"It doesn't matter if you don't enter this city."

"Huh? If we don't enter the city, where shall we go?"

Zhu Yu stared blankly at Shu Yingtong, why didn't he go into the city suddenly?

"Didn't the official just read the notice?"

Shu Yingtong glanced at the three large characters on the city gate, there was nothing wrong with their actions.

The government gave out two meals of porridge every day. The clear soup lacked water.

It not only stabilized the hungry people, but also made them unable to make trouble.

From time to time, wealthy households from official families gave porridge at the gate of the city, and the hungry people became more honest.

The officials beat the gong to read the notice, and when they heard the content, they all shook their heads and lay back in their sheds.

"Huh? Going to open up wasteland. Although there is a three-year tax exemption, there is nothing to grow if it doesn't rain."

Zhu Yu was lying on the ground with the bowl in her arms, full of worry, and grabbed Shuan'er's little hand.

Shu Yingtong pondered for a long time when he saw the notice, instead of leading everyone to eat and die here, it is better to do something more meaningful.

The places circled with red pens on the map are all places suitable for building villages, and she took a fancy to a large piece of land under Yuan County.

Shu Yingtong got up, looked around the entire open space in front of the city gate, the thatched shacks were crowded and disorderly.

The huts for the victims have long been full, and the people who came later had to find an open space to sleep.Like those who came late, they were almost lined up on the mountain.

The crowds are crowded, dirty and disorderly, and a wind and cold can knock down a piece of it.

Don't stay here for long.

"Jing Yunyan, take me into the city."

"it is good."

"Huh? Going to the city? I'm going too."

As soon as she heard that she was about to enter the city, Zhu Yu jumped up from the ground and patted her dirty red dress up and down.

"No, you have to guard them." Shu Yingtong pointed to the villagers behind him.

"Alright then..." Zhu Yu sat down resentfully.

Everyone saw Shu Yingtong walking towards the city gate behind Jing Yunyan with an empty backpack on his back, and gathered around Zhu Yu to ask questions.

"Girl Yu, what did they go to the city for?"

"Did the girl explain anything?"

"What is the origin of Mr. Jing, if you want to enter the city, you can enter the city?"

Zhu Yu scratched his face, "Maybe it's something to do? Anyway, I don't know. I'll know when they come back."

Another group of people next door saw that someone from the next door was able to enter the city, and saw that these dozens of people were left in place, making provocative things with a protracted voice.

"Come back? Chi~ Who wants to come out after entering the city?"

"Don't dream, just wait for the porridge to drink honestly, maybe it will rain someday."

The villagers of Hideyoshi ignored them at all. The girl said that there is no point in arguing.

Have the ability to punch to the flesh.

After getting along for so many days, they know better than others what kind of temperament the girl is.

Taking a step back, they may not be very important, but Zhenniang and Shuaner are determined not to be left behind.

"You two are not allowed to enter the city!"

The guards of the city gate intersected their spears and stopped Shu Yingtong and Jing Yunyan.

Seeing that the two men were in tatters and filthy, they looked like hungry people.

Jing Yunyan was not annoyed, he reached out and took out a brass dragon pattern token from the interlayer of his belt, grabbed it in his hand and slammed it on his face, "Can I go in?"

As soon as the token was issued, the city gate guards immediately put away their spears and stood respectfully on both sides.

Shu Yingtong glanced at it, and the word Yi was engraved on the token.

"What's the girl's plan?"

Jing Yunyan held her head high, her chest up and her hands behind her back, with an expression like you are going to praise me.

"Pay back the money."

"I…"

Jing Yunyan was so choked that he didn't want to speak, isn't it obvious whether he has money or not!

Just entering the city gate, where can he change his money...

"Map of Fanling City ~ Map ~" A young boy who looks like a thin monkey stepped forward with a smile, "Do you two want to buy a map? If you buy a map of my house, you won't get lost!"

"You kid is interesting, do you think we look like we can afford a map?" Jing Yunyan pointed to the tattered clothes on himself and Shu Yingtong.

"My lord, you are joking, whoever can enter the city gate is not a head and face. Seeing that you two have extraordinary bearing, isn't it a matter of missing a finger to buy a map~"

"How to sell."

"Twenty Wen!"

The skinny monkey boy rushed to Shu Yingtong immediately, and cheerfully held up the map in front of her.

Seeing that the girl was silent, but as soon as she opened her mouth, he knew that the deal was done.

Shu Yingtong took out the money and handed it over. The skinny monkey boy was stunned for a moment, and immediately took the money happily, "Thank you, girl! I wish you a long life and good luck!"

He ran home happily with the money in his pocket, and today someone paid for it without cutting a penny!

Jing Yunyan glanced at Shu Yingtong, who was looking down at the map seriously, and saw her finger landed on South Street, "I'll go to the government office and get some money to find you."

"Yes." Shu Yingtong continued to look at the map without raising her head.

"Do you really have nothing to ask me?"

"If you pay off the money, you can disappear."

Jing Yun is at a loss for words, can't she have such a little bit of curiosity...

She didn't ask about the killer, she just treated his wounds and paid 100 taels by the way.

Seeing that he took the token, he didn't ask, and when he heard that he was going to the government office, he didn't ask. He just opened his mouth to ask him to pay back the money and draw a clear line.

"I didn't see you mentioning money to others." Jing Yunyan muttered and turned around and walked towards another street.

Shu Yingtong raised her head and looked at the man who couldn't hide his dignity even though his body was dirty.The figure is straight and straight, with a natural elegance.

"I only cheat rich people."

Put away the map and walk towards South Street. She has a lot to buy.

Salt is the first priority, followed by the preparations for Zhenniang's production, and other small items.

The villagers can't enter the city, and they can't let Zhenniang give birth to the child in the open field. At least there is a shelter for opening up wasteland and building houses.
