Chapter 78

Qian Changyuan smiled and turned around to inform those who made the carriage.

Walking out of Crow Mountain, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Looking at the gloomy sky, "It seems like it's going to snow..." Zhou Jiacheng guessed.

"It's already October, and it's time for snow." Qian Guilan sat next to Zhou Jiacheng and answered, the colder it was getting further back.

Zhou Yue looked at the sky, there was no sun, and it was very cold. Looking at the team behind, everyone in the village was wearing cotton clothes.

Everyone in the wolf army was wearing pink rabbit cotton clothes, and their trousers and shoes were still thin. Some people's trousers were scratched in the front of the fight, and their legs were exposed.

"Father, stop!" Zhou Yue called out to Zhou Jiacheng.

Zhou Jiacheng stopped the ox cart, turned to look at Zhou Yue, "What's wrong, Yueyue?"

"Wolf Army needs to change their pants and shoes. I'll go tell the villagers." Zhou Yue said and jumped off the oxcart.

When the people in the village saw Zhou Jiacheng stopped the ox cart, they also stopped.

Zhou Yue took out some cloth from the bullock cart, hugged it in her arms, and walked into the team.

"Aunts, I need you to make some cotton trousers and cotton shoes now. I will give you some cloth, and you can make clothes and shoes on the carriage." Zhou Yue said loudly.

The women were very excited after hearing this. It was time to win rewards again, and they saw the third son of the Zhou family beat a wild boar, and there was still a lot of meat!

"No problem, hurry up and distribute the cotton, let's hurry up! Anyway, idle in the carriage is idle, just to relieve boredom!" Aunt Liu was the first to speak. Since they got in the carriage, they don't have to walk every day. , a lot of leisure.

Zhou Yue looked at their looks and said nothing more. She directly handed out the cloth and returned to the bullock cart.

Using the oxcart as cover, he took out two quilts from the space and quickly removed the outer cloth, leaving only the cotton core.

Holding two beds of cotton cores, Zhou Yue walked to the carriage and divided them among them. "You guys do it first, and I'll share it with you slowly. Just make it a size that can be worn by men!"

"This cotton is so good!" Aunt Liu couldn't help but admire. She had never seen such white cotton. She usually used yellow cotton when making cotton clothes at home.

"That's right, this cotton is white and soft, it's the best cotton!" Aunt Wang also said, touching the cotton with her hands, feeling extremely rare.

"Okay! It's still the same old rules, there will be rewards for the top three, aunties, come on!" Zhou Yue said.

The women nodded one after another, all of them had the chance to win, saying that they must get the reward this time.

Zhou Yue returned to the ox cart, removed two more quilts, and distributed them to several carriages at the back, "You can put more cotton in the cotton trousers and cotton shoes, so they are thicker and warmer."

Wolf Jun thought that Zhou Yue was making cotton-padded clothes for the villagers, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He only thought that the Fourth Young Master was really kind-hearted and paid attention to the issue of keeping the villagers warm.

The team continued to move forward, and the women were chatting and making cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes in the carriage. It was very lively.

Zhou Yue looked at the map, and it was almost Qingyun County in front of her. If she passed this county, she would be able to leave the boundary of Nanshan Prefecture.

"Qingyun County." Zhou Jiacheng stood on the bullock cart and saw the writing on the city wall from a distance.

A large number of refugees gathered beside the city gate, blocking the city gate.

"It seems that refugees are not allowed to enter the city here. Many people are crowded near the city wall." Zhou Jiacheng said.

Zhou Yue also saw it. She also saw the soldiers on duty on the city wall. It seemed that the county town had not been looted by the refugees.

"Everyone be on alert! There are a large number of refugees ahead!" Zhou Jiacheng shouted.

Everyone stood in formation one after another, the food truck was still at the innermost, and the wolf army was at the outermost, with weapons in their hands, advancing slowly.

As they approached the city gate, the refugees also spotted them and hurried over.

"Food, give me some food!" someone shouted.

"Help! Please help me!"

"Whoever gives me food, I will give him my daughter!"

"I also have a daughter. My daughter is cheap, only a bucket of rice."

"Mine are cheaper..."

A messy sound sounded, and a group of refugees gathered around, but the wolf army used a knife to isolate some space.

The refugees saw that this team was all armed with knives, and there were people in the middle standing on the bullock carts pulling bows. They were not easy to provoke, so they did not rob them forcefully, but just asked.

Looking at the tightly surrounded team, Zhou Jiacheng frowned. The refugees had already reached the point of selling their sons and daughters. Most of the people surrounding them were middle-aged men. It is estimated that the old people did not persevere.

"Vice General Wang!" Zhou Yue shouted.

Wang Zheng heard Zhou Yue's call and immediately came to her side, "What are your orders, Fourth Young Master?"

"Go and ask what's going on in the county?" Zhou Yue said.

"Yes!" Wang Zheng responded, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd.

Wang Zheng walked to the bottom of the city gate. The door was closed, and he knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock, keep knocking all day long. Didn't I tell you that refugees are not allowed to enter the county? Stop knocking!" A bored voice came from inside.

"Brother, we are not refugees, we are a caravan, can we enter the city?" Wang Zheng said loudly through the city gate.

"Caravan? That's not acceptable! The county magistrate said that the city gate cannot be opened easily, so as not to disturb the people in the city!" The people inside responded.

Wang Zheng took out a sign from his arms, "I have your lord's token here, and your lords will know it after reading it!"

"Do you have a token of our lord?" The people inside didn't quite believe it.

"At that time, you would know it when you handed it to him." Wang Zheng said firmly. No one in the officialdom did not know about the Wolf Army.

There was a small hole in the gate, just big enough for one hand to pass through, "Bring it here! I hope you're telling the truth."

Wang Zheng handed over the token, and the people inside took the token and left.

"Report! My lord, there are people outside the city saying that there is your token." The soldier ran to the Yamen and reported to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate was looking down at the file. After hearing this, he raised his head and asked, "What token?"

"Sir, the little one brought it. It's a sign." The little soldier handed over the token.

After taking the token, the magistrate looked carefully and saw that it was a wolf head. "Wolf Army!" The magistrate stood up suddenly.

"Where is he? Take me there quickly!" The county magistrate looked at the soldier and urged.

The little soldier saw that he really knew the adults, and quickly replied: "It's just outside the city gate, sir, I will take you there!"

The county magistrate followed the soldier and hurried out. When he reached the city gate, he was still breathing heavily.

"May I ask which adult from the Wolf Army is here?" the county magistrate said cautiously.

"Wang Zheng, the deputy general of the Wolf Army, have you ever heard of the county magistrate?" Wang Zheng spoke slowly.

"It turned out to be Vice General Wang. What are you doing in our Qingyun County?" The county magistrate said respectfully. The deputy general is a fourth-rank magistrate, but he is only a seventh-rank county magistrate.

"Our wolf army has more than 200 people, and we need to pass through your Qingyun County to escort the two adults back to their hometown." Wang Zheng borrowed the excuse of Lord Fang to go back to his hometown.

"Vice General Wang, it's not that I don't want to open the door, but I really can't open it. Once I open the city gate, those refugees will come in, rob food, and disturb the people. Several counties have been looted by refugees. I'm really scared. ." The county magistrate said sadly, he also thought about the people in the city.
