Chapter 40 Finally entered the city!
"What is this, what is this going to do?"

Old Man Lu's eyes widened. Although he didn't need to use this needle on himself, he was frightened just looking at it.

He Jiuniang explained patiently: "In order to prevent everyone from showing off my flaws, I went to the medical clinic yesterday to pay an old doctor to teach me a few tricks. Pricking a few acupuncture points can make everyone really feel pain."

She was worried that there would be an emergency. This group of "disabled people" ran faster than normal people, so she wanted to restrict their movements.

When the men heard this and looked at the thick and long silver needle, they suddenly shivered. It really hurt just to look at it!
But after yesterday's lesson, no one raised any questions this time. Although I was afraid, I gritted my teeth and got the injection.

After one night, He Jiuniang's anger had already subsided. She didn't deliberately target anyone, she just pricked the wound as she wanted, and then she randomly pulled a piece of cloth to bandage the wound.

Then they cast shadows on everyone's faces one by one, and put some white powder on their mouths. They looked instantly haggard, as if they were about to die.

"The three younger siblings are amazing!"

Lu Laoer looked at his eldest brother and could think of what he looked like now, smacking his lips and praising He Jiuniang.

"Yes! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!"

Others followed closely behind, and their admiration for He Jiuniang was not the slightest bit in their hearts.

He Jiuniang smiled modestly: "It's nothing, just painting casually."

"Hey, brothers and sisters, there is no need to be modest, you are really capable! I will definitely repay you when you enter the city safely!"

"Yes, yes, Gou'er's father is not here. If my brothers and sisters have any difficulties, just let us know, and let us do the rough and tiring work at home. It's all our responsibility!"

Mrs. Sun curled her lips and whispered to her two daughters-in-law: "Who doesn't know how to say nice things? Humph!"

Yu and Qin covered their mouths and laughed, but didn't say much.

By the time everyone packed up and hit the road, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

We could have arrived at noon, but because we brought a group of "disabled people" with us, we had to wait until the afternoon to reach the gate of Jingzhou City.

It was not like the soldiers guarding the city had never seen wounded men before, but this was the first time they saw so many wounded men, and they looked very serious.

"What's going on with such a big group of you?"

Seeing their brother's haggard face, the officers and soldiers didn't dare to approach him for fear that he might be sick.

"My lord, our clan met a bandit on the road. There were more than a hundred people in the group, but now we are the only ones left. The men were all seriously injured. I heard that Jingzhou can recruit women, children and the disabled, so I hurried away. Here we come! One by one, the men in the family are seriously injured and have to go on their way. It has become like this. Please be more accommodating, sir!"

As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, Sun burst into tears and cried, fearing that others would not know how miserable they were.

This is what He Jiuniang taught her before. Not only her, but also the women and children were all crying.

The faces were all covered with makeup and looked extremely weathered. Coupled with this howl, the officers and soldiers suddenly felt that this family was really miserable.

With such a mood in mind, when I went to check the man's wounds, I felt that I couldn't bear to look directly at him. After a cursory glance, I covered my nose and stepped back.

"You're a poor man too. This wound stinks. Even if it can be cured, it will still leave you with a disability. Your Highness, King Chen, is kind-hearted and will pay you a settlement fee after entering the city. You can go see a doctor as soon as you take the money!"

He Jiuniang had already talked about the payment for An's family last night. Everyone was not surprised, but they still showed excitement and excitement. They praised King Chen and the city guards before entering the city with tears in their eyes.

After walking a long way into the city, they made sure that there were no officers and soldiers around, and everyone let out a heavy breath.

Looking at the bustling crowd in front of me, my ears were filled with shouts and laughter, and it felt like a dream.

Did they really get into the city so easily?None of the badges Mr. Qin gave him were used! "Master, pinch me quickly. Are we really in Jingzhou City?"

Qin held Lu Lao Er's hand, her palms sweating nervously. She had never seen such a prosperous city before, there must be too many people!
"It's true, this Jingzhou City is really prosperous!"

Lu Laoer smacked his lips again. Although Sun was shocked, she didn't show it. She even lectured Lao Er: "Okay, don't act like you've never seen the world. It's embarrassing!"

Old Man Lu is better off. He was a escort when he was young and visited many cities, so he still has some experience.

Among the crowd, He Jiuniang was the calmest, but everyone thought she was shocked yesterday and didn't think much about it.

But in fact, such a scene is really nothing in front of He Jiuniang. What kind of storms and waves have you not seen in the previous life?

"What are you guys doing? It's not shameful to be dirty! Are they the victims who are fleeing the disaster? Hurry to the government and wait for resettlement. Don't run around!"

Suddenly a middle-aged man came with a fierce look on his face, which scared everyone.

"Yes, we are just mud-legged people from the countryside. We have never seen much of the world. Dare I ask this big brother, how do we get to the government?"

Lu Fugui was quite clever and hurriedly came forward to talk. They were new here, so it was better to avoid causing trouble.

Seeing that they had a good attitude, the man kindly pointed the way.

"People in this city have such a bad temper! But we really need to clean up our situation."

Mrs. Yu complained in a low voice, they are like this now, don't blame others for disdain, they themselves also feel embarrassed.

He Jiuniang said: "When the place settles down, we can take care of it."

"Ok!"

Everyone had smiles on their faces, and their hearts dropped as soon as they entered the city.

Although they really wanted to visit this bustling street, a group of people suppressed their curiosity and went to the government office to report first, just hoping to get a good place.

Just like yesterday, there were already many people outside the government office, mostly women, children and the elderly. They were very surprised to see such a large family, but seeing the boss and the others looking like they were dying with injuries, it was understandable.

Escape is not an easy journey for everyone.

He Jiuniang handed over the identity documents on behalf of everyone and waited for the yamen to call their names.

The Lu family's documents are all there, but the others' documents were lost or damaged during the escape, and they need to be reissued, which takes a lot of time.

When it was finally his turn to go home, the officers and soldiers had to go to the office.

"My lord, please do me a favor and help my family. These injured people at home are still waiting for money to go to the doctor!"

When Mrs. Sun saw the government officials packing things, they obviously didn't want to do anything. Without saying a word, she rushed up to them and started crying.

"Where did you find this crazy bitch!"

The government officer was startled. He had been in a bad mood after facing these stinking refugees all day, but now that he was startled again, he became angry.

"Forget it, look at those people in her family who are all going to die. It looks so pitiful, so just let them do it."

Another person kindly tried to dissuade him because he saw that Boss Lu and the others seemed to have a short time to live. If the refugees did not die on the road but died in front of the government, then their responsibility would be huge!
