Chapter 98

The whole family worked together, and quickly roasted and packed the remaining wolf meat.

Seeing this, other people also imitated their family and roasted their own wolf meat and put it away.

After the village chief assigned the night watchman, everyone else hurriedly went to sleep while it was dark.

After the night passed, the group started to go on the road again, and encountered some troubles along the way, but it was not a major issue.

Stop and go, stop and go, by the time I got out of this big forest, another half a year had passed.

Another year of autumn, but apart from the scorching sun, there is no so-called harvest, because it is too dry, and the big trees on the side of the road can suddenly spontaneously ignite at any time. People were shocked and scared at the beginning, and now they are calm Surprised, no surprise.

The longer the walk, the slower and slower the pace of the people. Many old people died and children died on the way, and the number of people in Shuanghe Village became less and less. People still abound.

"Oh, when will I be able to arrive in the capital!"

Mei Luomei nestled in Jun Buhuan's arms, wiped off her sweat, and couldn't help sighing.

They've been out for too long!
"According to this speed, it will probably take until the spring of next year."

Jun Buhuan replied while driving the horse.

"Oh, I never heard that it takes three years to travel from Shuanghe Village to the capital."

In the spring of next year, they will be gone for three full years.

Jun Buhuan: "It's more than a month of fast horses, and two or three months in a carriage. The old and young in your village rely on walking, and when you encounter famines, you have to detour from time to time. It's not bad to be able to walk in three years."

"Oh, if only there were planes."

Jun Buhuan: "Where is that?"

From time to time, some strange words came out of her mouth, which made him curious.

What is it - a means of transportation!
Melomei didn't know how to describe it, so she thought for a while and said, "It's like a bird, flying in the sky, but it can take many people. For example, from Shuanghe Village to the capital, it only takes an hour or two by plane."

For Jun Buhuan, she always tells her some modern things from time to time, and she is always worried that one day she will go back suddenly, and Jun Buhuan will not be able to adapt to the environment in the past.

She has always been very vigilant in times of peace, otherwise she would not have brought a pile of food in advance.

Jun Buhuan was shocked by this speed, he couldn't imagine that something could have such a fast speed, so he could only ask: "It's so fast, how to build it?"

"Of course there are dedicated researchers, and I'm not a scientist, how would I know how to design it."

Even if she knows the principle, but she is not a professional, how difficult it is to design something, she doesn't have that ability.

"However, it is possible to modify the carriage. For example, your carriage and ox cart, the wheels can be pasted with rubber to prevent shocks, and a few more official roads can be repaired to make them smoother and covered with cement. The speed must be faster than now."

She has seen this ancient official road before. It is all paved with stones and sand, and it is not smooth at all.

Driving in front of the bullock cart, some rocks behind can be turned around, and then there is a big hole on the road.

The whole road was full of potholes, and walking was not fast. The mountain road was even worse. There were red thorns and old mother thorns everywhere, and small stumps and bushes. A group of them had to cut trees, mow grass and step on the road while walking, otherwise they would not be able to walk at all.

It is also fortunate that there are not many poisonous insects and beasts in the current drought, otherwise the situation may be even worse.

Melomei taught Jun Buhuan some knowledge she knew, and then babbled about modern things to him, and she stopped talking until her mouth was dry.

In this way, the group of people walked for a long time, so long that Melomei thought that she would never arrive in her lifetime, and finally arrived in the capital.

"Father, we have arrived in the capital."

Meluo Xing looked at the towering city wall in the distance, weeping with joy.

The family hugged each other tightly, and after walking for three years, they finally arrived at the place.

The others were similar to the Erfang family. For a while, only laughter and crying were mixed together, and everyone held hands and danced happily.

"It's finally here, mother, if you hold on for a while, you will be able to see the gate of the capital."

Someone knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully towards home while crying. It was the old lady who cried for his death.

"Father, we finally came out, you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

Some other people also knelt on the ground, picked up a few stones as steamed buns, and wept uncontrollably.

Maybe it was brought out by that person, and everyone's good mood at the beginning was wiped out.

Thinking of the loved ones who had passed away, many people covered their faces and cried loudly.

Seeing this, Melomei felt mixed feelings.

I still don't know where my eldest sister and sister-in-law are!
A group of people cried and laughed, packed up their mood, stared at the city gate and continued to move forward.

After walking for a while, I finally came to the gate of the city.

"Brother, what's going on?"

Seeing many people queuing in front, the village chief immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Line up and pay." An old man in front said without looking back.

The village chief was taken aback. They are almost penniless now, how could they be rich.

Reluctantly said: "Dare to ask my brother, how much silver do you need?"

Old man: "50 taels per person."

"50 taels per person, isn't this stealing money? How can we authentic country people have so much money?"

When Zhang Meihua heard this, she felt that the sky was about to fall.

After finally coming to the capital, they were told that they had to pay silver to enter the city, and they were charged 50 taels per person. Now that there are four members of their family, they would have to pay 200 taels.

"There is no way, the guards of the city will let you hand over, and if you don't hand over, you will not be allowed to enter the city."

The old man shook his head, they were also made miserable, they managed to save a little money, and now they had to grit their teeth and give it away in order to go to the city.

"If they are not allowed to enter the city, what are we doing all the way here?" someone asked blankly.

Someone couldn't help shouting: "It costs 50 taels of silver to enter the city alone, even if I sell it, I don't have that much!"

Everyone is a refugee, who has extra money!
"In this world, what are we people? If we die, we will die." Someone lamented.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

Seeing this, Melomei suddenly thought of this line of poetry in her mind, and turned to ask Jun Buhuan behind her, "Is the gate of this capital always so difficult to enter?"

Jun Buhuan said: "In the past, it was only necessary to pay five papers, but now it seems that the famine is too severe and the people above can't survive, so I thought of such a trick."

Melome: "Aren't you afraid of Baixin's rebellion?"

Jun Buhuan sneered: "In their eyes, Baixin is a cheap life. If you lose it, you will lose it. If you dare to rebel, you will be killed without mercy."

It seems that the court is hopeless!
Although Melomei was rich, she didn't want to be taken advantage of, so she stood aside and wanted to observe and observe first.

Looking at it, it was terrible. I saw someone in front of me who had no money, but still wanted to enter the city.

"Huanhuan, there is a situation ahead, you resist me."

Jun Buhuan had no choice but to get off the horse and let the horse leave by itself, while he picked up Melomei and put it on his shoulders.

Melomei rode on Jun Buhuan's shoulders, climbed higher, and could see far away, and suddenly saw a few people pulling and tugging in front of her.

"Officer, please, let me go to the city. My mother is seriously ill and needs to see a doctor urgently." A man said nice things.

The gatekeeper pushed the man away and said, "If you want to enter the city, you can bring money, and if you don't take money, you can just stay."

Man: "My lord, I have to buy medicine for my mother with this little money. I really don't have any money left to enter the city."

Seeing that he was holding silver in his hand, the soldier stretched out his hand to snatch it, and said fiercely: "Isn't there silver here?"

He bowed his head and counted, dissatisfied, and complained to the man, "Just two taels, what's the use."

Putting the money into his arms, he waved the man away, "Go back, and enter the city after earning the money."

The man said in despair: "Master, please return the silver to me, it is life-saving money for my mother's medicine."

They fled all the way here, and now there is only two taels of silver left in their originally prosperous family, which is all their belongings.

The official was impatient, and said viciously: "It's none of my business whether you grab the medicine or not. In a word, if you want to go to the city for 50 taels, get out if you don't have the money. If you bother me again, be careful not to lose your head."

In this world, human life is only worth a few dollars.

A human life is probably not as important as a wowotou, who can control who.

"Master?"

The man wanted to go forward, but he was staggered by a soldier next to him, and then the soldier drew his saber from his waist.

"If you want to enter the city without paying the money, go to hell."

Seeing the soldiers being entangled by men, one of them wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the city, but was discovered by the soldiers.

With the knife in hand, a human head rolled to the ground.

"what……"

"Dead..."

……

Those who stood close were sprayed with blood, covered their faces and screamed back again and again.

Seeing this, the man rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.

No one expected that the soldiers would suddenly draw their knives and kill people. For a moment, they were terrified and the crowd was in a riot.

Melomei had never seen such a scene of disregarding human life. She screamed and immediately retracted her hands to cover her eyes.

The little hand in his hand disappeared, Jun Buhuan immediately lifted her down and held her in his arms, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Huan Huan, Huan Huan..."

Melomei's eyes were dull, she just called Jun Buhuan over and over again, grabbed his clothes tightly with both hands, and shivered in his arms.

Seeing that people were so frightened, Jun Buhuan's eyes turned a little cold, and he looked down at the soldiers like he was looking at a pile of dead meat.

With a wave of his hand, several steel needles as thin as a cow's hair flew out instantly.

He stole this thing from Melomei's sleeve.

The soldier killed a man, but he didn't take it seriously at all, but unceremoniously called a dog and said, "Take this dirty thing..."

The steel needle flew in, and instantly sank into the center of his eyebrows, and the unspoken words were stuck in his throat—the death will not rest in peace.

Several other soldiers saw that the man who was still in high spirits suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Just as they were about to go up and ask, they suddenly felt something between their eyebrows.

I reached out to touch it, but found nothing, but I couldn't take it back when I raised my hand.

When people outside the city saw these soldiers die suddenly, they panicked for a while, and immediately rushed to the city after reacting.

"Come with me."

Jun Buhuan hugged Melomei, took the lead, led a group of people, and sneaked in while the city gate was in a panic.
