Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 76 The Jiang Family Who Makes Their Legs Weak
The Jiang family set foot on the road to the south again.

There are more and more people encountered on the road. Apart from being a little dirty, they are barely passable.

Because the further south you go, the less you will lack water and wild vegetables and weeds that can satisfy your hunger.

And if they turned over from the mountain, if they were lucky, they could pick wild fruits or hunt full prey like pheasants and hares.

At the end of Shenshi (around five o'clock in the afternoon), the Jiang family and his party finally saw the city gate from a distance.

Outside the city gate is a wide official road, so they can fully see the situation in front of the city gate in the distance at a glance.

At this time, the gate of the city was wide open, and there were two lines of officers and soldiers standing guard at the gate, and a long line of people who were queuing up to enter the city stood outside.

And some of those officers and soldiers took something that looked like paper, and every person who went in had to check carefully.

Seeing the situation over there, Jiang Zhiyue subconsciously glanced at Ouyang Ming's face, and felt relieved when she didn't find any flaws.

Sensing Jiang Zhiyue's gaze, Ouyang Ming smiled at her.

At the same time, he was also thinking about the meaning of Jiang Zhiyue's glance just now.

He always felt that Jiang Zhiyue seemed to have seen through his identity, but he couldn't figure out how she knew the possibility of his identity.

Jiang Dalang looked at the scene at the city gate, and said happily: "That's Funan County, it seems that refugees from outside are allowed to enter the city."

Mr. Jiang said with emotion: "Yes, it's good to be able to enter the city."

Everyone quickened their pace and walked towards the city gate.

Seeing that they were getting closer, Jiang Zhiyue reminded: "Everyone remember, from now on, A Ming is Jiang Ming, my fourth uncle. Keep the relationship in your heart, and don't forget it."

Everyone didn't know why Jiang Zhiyue was so obsessed with making up an identity for Ouyang Ming.

Just when Erlang was about to ask, they had already reached the back of the line outside the city gate, so he shut his mouth and lined up quietly.

They didn't come early or late, and when they arrived, there was a line of people behind them one after another.

There were less than [-] people lined up in front of them. The officers and soldiers were talking about something, and after waiting for a while, it was their turn.

An officer stood in front of the Jiang family and said loudly, "Stop and search."

The members of the Jiang family stood obediently and waited for these people to check.

While waiting for their search, Mr. Jiang, who was walking in front, asked respectfully, "Guys, I don't know what's going on in the city now, will you arrange a place for us to settle down?"

The official who stood on the other side explained: "You came early. If you want to settle in our Funan County, after entering the city gate, someone will take you to register and divide the village. If you don't want to settle here, just Go out through another city gate and continue walking."

"It's just a coincidence that you came here. If you come late, there is no room in Funan County, and you still have to go back."

Mr. Jiang nodded his head in thanks: "Thank you, sir."

The officer who gave the answer replied coldly: "Yes."

And the officials on the other side were obviously not the same as these people. They held the portraits in their hands and looked at the Jiang family and his party again and again.

The Jiang family and his party have long been accustomed to this, after all, they have met twice on the road.

It's just that I still feel a little emotional, the court is too persistent in finding someone.

The officials who were looking for people with portraits had already lost their minds because they didn't have any of them to look for.

After such a long time, people might have died long ago, so they searched a little laxly.

An official turned the portrait in his hand to face the Jiang family and his party.

He said: "If you see this person and provide information, you will be rewarded with a hundred gold cars. If you have any news, you can report to the government."

The portrait was blown fluttering by the wind, and then drooped down.

A familiar face on the portrait appeared in front of the Jiang family.

Seeing the face that was [-]% similar to Ouyang Ming's disguise, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

what happened?

This is this! ! !
Isn't this Ouyang Ming? ! ! !

The eyes of the group unconsciously looked at Ouyang Ming's face, and then at the painting.

The officials clearly sensed that something was wrong with them, and asked with a serious face, "Have you seen this person?"

In an instant, everyone's thoughts jumped, and they didn't know how many times.

Should he hand over Ouyang Ming to receive the bounty or pretend he didn't know?

Everyone felt the death stares from those officials, and sweat broke out on their heads.

Mrs. Jiang suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Oh my god, my son, look at how handsome the person in this portrait is. Mother always thought you were the most handsome."

After speaking, she looked towards Ouyang Ming, who was closest to her, and found that this face really resembled her eldest son's.

Ouyang Ming could see that when Mrs. Jiang faced him, her mouth trembled with fright.

It was a lie in his heart that he didn't dare to move, Ouyang Ming smiled at Mrs. Jiang and helped her to cover up her trembling body.

The others were also brought back to their senses by Old Mrs. Jiang's exclamation.

Seeing the old lady's flamboyant acting skills, the others also showed their acting skills instantly.

Mrs. Zhang agreed: "Yes, so there are still people who grow up like this in this world. I always thought that our children are the most beautiful."

Jiang Zhiyue also smiled and said, "No, but I still think Fourth Uncle is the most handsome boy."

Those officials were confused by the behavior of this family. They thought they knew the people in the portrait, but they turned out to be a group of ignorant people.

The officials rolled their eyes and dismissed them with disdain: "What a bunch of mud legs, there are many people in this world who look better than your family, get out of here!"

The official yelled a few words in disgust, and the rest of the people laughed when they heard what Mrs. Jiang and the others said.

Sure enough, it is a group of ignorant people who can be astonished even by a portrait.

It is said that Prince An himself is really handsome and handsome, and those of the royal family, none of them are better than their mud legs.

Mrs. Jiang and the others forced an awkward smile, and then quickly walked in.

They couldn't stay here for a second, and their hearts were about to jump out.

Everyone walked into the city with weak legs and feet, and they saw another group of people sitting not far in front.

There was also a long queue there, refugees who came in from outside the city were asking about settlement matters.

Mrs. Jiang was still being supported by Ou Yangming, her legs and feet were so weak all the time, if Ou Yangming hadn't been supporting her so hard, she would probably have fallen to the ground at the gate of the city.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Sun and the others were not much better, and everyone supported each other to move forward.

While walking, he had to pay attention to the movement behind, for fear that the officials holding the portraits would see something wrong and arrest them.

Mrs. Jiang said in a trembling voice, "I can't do it, my legs are so weak, Xiao Ming, help grandma get on the bus."

Ouyang Ming wanted to laugh and was moved, he obediently helped Mrs. Jiang to the side of the bullock cart, and let her sit on it.

The old lady Jiang sat down and said, "Why don't we hurry out through another city gate, I always feel uneasy in my heart."

Everyone subconsciously glanced at Ouyang Ming.

Mr. Jiang also took a look at Ouyang Ming, and then said, "We are going to inquire about the news in the city, and we will leave."

Everyone responded, but couldn't help but glance at Ouyang Ming.

They have a lot of questions in their minds, but now is not the time to ask questions.

It's the end of the application period, and if they want to leave the city today, they have to act faster.

Otherwise, when the city gate is closed, they will have to go out tomorrow.

But after what happened in front of the city gate just now, none of them wanted to stay in this city.

They may still see the sun tomorrow when they leave the city, but in this city, they don't know which will come first, accident or tomorrow.

A row of beggars sat not far from the city gate. When they saw someone coming in outside the city gate, they would step forward and ask if they wanted to lead the way.

Jiang Zhiyue and the others saw that a taller beggar pushed a little beggar aside, walked up to a person who had just entered the city with a smile, and walked away with that person.

The little beggar lowered his head in frustration, and suddenly saw them, and cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Do you need a guide? I know this city very well, and I can take you wherever you want. Just give me a steamed bun."

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the little beggar in ragged clothes, and asked lightly, "We want to inquire about some news. If you have any news, you can tell us. I will still give you steamed buns."

The little beggar's eyes lit up when he heard Jiang Zhiyue's words. He stood guard in front of the city gate all day and knew the most news.

"I know, I can tell you the news."

The little beggar Balabala told everything he knew, just for fear that Jiang Zhiyue and the others would be dissatisfied.

Looking at them eagerly after speaking, Jiang Zhiyue nodded in satisfaction, took out a small string of copper plates from her bosom and put them in the hands of the little beggar.

The little beggar was startled by the weight in his hand, looked down and found that there were dozens of copper plates.

He glanced at Jiang Zhiyue cautiously, seeing that she hadn't taken it by mistake, he hurriedly put it in his arms, and then looked around.

The little beggar was basically surrounded by Jiang's family, so people outside did not see Jiang Zhiyue giving the little beggar a copper coin.

After Jiang Zhiyue got the news she wanted, she separated from the little beggar.

The little beggar stood there in a daze, unable to recover. He just said something that everyone knew, and he got so many benefits.

Jiang Zhiyue took two steps forward, and saw some people looking at the little beggar.

Her voice was a little loud, and she deliberately said meanly: "As far as what you said, I want two steamed buns, one of which thinks highly of you."

After finishing speaking, he took a steamed bun from the bullock cart, and threw it to the little beggar with disgust in his eyes.
