Chapter 27 Great Yan can’t get in

More than a dozen young men were lying on the ground to rest. Seeing that everyone was fine and no one was missing, they couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Ye Hongshun and Ye Hongting high-fived and they all crossed the river smoothly. The hard work this morning was not in vain.

God was also very generous. The wind was originally blowing very hard, but after they started crossing the river, the wind stopped blowing so much. It was really an eye-opener for God.

Ye Hongchang asked everyone to inventory their belongings and stationed on the shore today to take a rest before continuing on their way.

"Now that we have crossed the river, we can reach Dayan in three days at most. We are finally getting through this."

Hearing this, everyone became happy, and several children held hands and jumped on the spot.

Just when they were happy, a thunder in the sky brought everyone back to reality.

The dark clouds are heavy and the rain is on the horizon.

Everyone fell silent again. There was no cave here. How could they find a place to take shelter from the rain in a short time?

I couldn't care less about being happy for a while. After passing one difficulty, there was another difficulty waiting for me.

Another thunder struck, Ye Xiangxiang's face darkened, and he quickly went to Ye Hongchang to discuss it.

"Dad, it's thundering now. It's not safe to stay in the woods. It's easy to get struck by lightning. It's better to find an open place quickly."

Ye Hongchang nodded, "Everyone, pack your things quickly. Let's go forward. It's too dangerous to stay in the woods during thunder."

Before everyone could calm down, they had to pack up their things and leave the woods, arriving at an open place.

In an instant, heavy rain came, and before they could find a hiding place, everyone, including their luggage, was soaked.

Continuing further, we found a cliff that was barely sheltered from the rain. It was very difficult to squeeze in more than 60 people, so the young and strong ones retreated on their own initiative.

The rain lasted for two days without any intention of stopping. With so many people, they could only huddle under the cliff to take shelter.

After recovering from the plague, they waded across the river again, but then they were drenched in heavy rain, and many people got high fever again.

This time, there was no need for Ye Xiangxiang to ask for help. Meng Chang used acupuncture himself to relieve the heat syndrome for everyone.

The heavy rain lasted for three days before it stopped. If it continued, they would have no way out and no food at all.

Ye Hongting took people to cross the river and took a look. The river was ten feet wide. The water was fast, mixed with mud, sticks and weeds, and surged downstream.

He looked at Ye Changlin's grave, which was still standing there. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and turned back with the others.

Ye Hongting told everyone about the situation by the river, and everyone fell silent.

If we wait until this time to cross the river, we may not even be able to find the road, and the bridge may collapse if the water is pumped.

Ye Chongming felt cold all over. Fortunately, Hongchang didn't listen to him, otherwise so many people's lives might have been lost in his hands.

"Hongchang, I will listen to you from now on. You have an idea. Fortunately, you didn't listen to me, otherwise I would have been a sinner." Ye Chongming clapped Ye Hongchang's hand in a panic and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Ye Hongchang said, "Fifth Uncle, you are considering everyone, don't say that."

The weather has improved, and it looks like there won't be another heavy rain. Ye Hongchang asked everyone to pack their bags and continue on their way. It's still a day or two to Dayan.

The farther you go towards Dayan, the wider your field of vision becomes. Dayan has a flat terrain with relatively few mountains, and they are all big mountains. Unlike Xiliang, the mountains are full of lush trees.

After walking for another day, there were more refugees on the road. They were all in twos and threes, unlike when they were in Xiliang, where most of them were in groups.

Ye Hongchang glanced forward and said, "We have to rest tonight. We should be able to reach the border tomorrow." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to have arrived. Finally, we are almost there.

After walking for a while, I suddenly heard the faint sound of horse hooves coming from the east. Ye Hongchang immediately told everyone to hide.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and soon a group of officers and soldiers, about twenty in number, were seen coming from the east. They were waving whips and lashing out at the refugees when they saw them.

"Get out of here, don't get close to Dayan, otherwise you'll be shot without mercy!"

Wherever the officers and soldiers passed, mud splashed up. The refugee who had just been beaten was lying in the mud puddle in pain. The people around him pulled and pulled him, and finally he was able to help him up.

The man's clothes were torn, and the mud was mixed with blood, which looked shocking.

Seeing this, everyone was frightened. Ye Shaodong said, "Second brother, it seems that it is not easy to get into this big inflammation."

Ye Hongchang has been worried about this matter all the way. With the mutiny in Xiliang and the people of Zhaochuan fleeing for famine, there must be a large number of people coming to Dayan to find a way out.

It may be easy to enter in the early stage, but as more and more refugees come later, I am afraid that Great Yan will also turn them away.

That's why he wanted to arrive as soon as possible. If he arrived a day early, he would have one more chance.

But now it seems that the situation is not optimistic.

Ye Xiangxiang said, "Dad, I want to ask them. Those people seem to have come from the border."

Ye Hongchang nodded, "I'll go with you."

The father and daughter walked towards the refugees over there. Those people were all injured and were sitting on the ground to rest, with sad and lifeless faces.

"Uncle, I would like to ask you whether we are reaching the border of Dayan just ahead?"

The old man glanced at them and sighed, "Yes, just keep walking and we'll be there."

"Uncle." Ye Hongchang continued to ask, "Can we still go to Dayan now? We escaped from Zhaochuan and wanted to go to Dayan to find a way to survive."

The uncle wiped his tears and said, "Don't you understand that we are like this? We went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers on the road, and finally got to the place. However, the officers and soldiers of Dayan refused to let us go. They beat and kicked us. Let's go. We have traveled so far and still have people riding horses to drive people away. Tell me, what kind of world is this?"

After Ye Hongchang and Ye Xiangxiang heard this, their hearts sank to the bottom of their hearts. Dayan was already the best escape route. If they couldn't get in, they didn't know where else to go.

After they returned, the others saw that their faces were not good, so they didn't ask any more questions, and just kept sighing.

God really wants to force people to death.

Ye Hongchang calmed down and thought of something, gritted his teeth and said, "We are already here, we must not give up easily. In this way, tomorrow I will go to the border to inquire about the news and see if there is room for change. I will find a safe place tonight. Take a rest and talk about it tomorrow.”

This is all we can do now. We need to find out more about the situation before making arrangements.

If it doesn't work, you can still think of ways to go elsewhere.

It got dark soon. Ye Hongchang found a good place for everyone to rest, and sat alone on the edge and sighed.

Ye Xiangxiang came behind him at some point and said softly, "Dad, you'd better take me with you tomorrow. Multiple people can have multiple ideas."

Along the way, Ye Hongchang only felt that his daughter was becoming more and more capable.

He smiled bitterly, "I have to take you with me even if you don't tell me. Your father and I have no choice now."
