"That's right. Fucheng is the transportation hub of various counties, so it should naturally be more prosperous." Cheng Mingli said with a little regret, "If you don't need money to enter the city, my brother would also like to go in and have a look."

Mingyi tilted her head, "Don't we have any money?"

Have!
Cheng Mingli almost opened his mouth to come, but when he thought that one tael of silver was enough for a month's repair, he was reluctant to part with it.

"That's too expensive. We have no shortage of money now, so it doesn't stop us from running out of money." Save money if you can. He couldn't bear to have his sister save money, so he would save it. "Sister, tell me carefully about the situation in the city. .”

The topic changed so abruptly!

Mingyi chuckled and followed her brother's topic, "The city of Shuzhou is prosperous, but our accent is different from theirs. As soon as we speak, people will know that we are outsiders; it is very likely that we are refugees. My father and I only go there." Go to the shop where you buy and sell, and then come out after buying something.”

Cheng Mingli just listened but said nothing, while Mingyi picked and talked about what he saw and heard in Shuzhou City.

Cheng Mingli listened carefully, and his feelings about fleeing from the desert were very clear; after listening to his sister's description, he had to understand that people in a foreign country cannot help themselves.

"It will be fine when I get the honor." Cheng Mingli nodded secretly. He wanted to settle down and go to school as soon as possible to get the honor as soon as possible.

The brothers and sisters were chatting. Cheng Mingyue, the eldest, finished eating a meat bun and looked frequently in the direction of Luo Cuihua and Cheng Dazhu.

Cheng Yuandong and Li Lianhua packed their things and asked Cheng Yuanxi about the situation in the city and the amount of food purchased. Cheng Yuandong and his wife listened and had a certain understanding of the food at home.

"This little food is only enough for us for half a month. Where should we settle? Shuzhou City has not said that it will take in refugees."

Even Shuzhou City has confiscated refugees. Can other counties take them in?
Cheng Yuanxi was the most relaxed one, "Let's get to the place first. There are so many people in the Cheng family who have to settle down; just listen to the arrangements of the clan leader and village chief."

"Alas." Cheng Yuandong sighed deeply, "I should have asked my third brother to help me buy some dry food."

At least I have food in hand and I don’t feel panic.

Cheng Yuannan also felt a little regretful.

Cheng Yuanxi said: "If the eldest and second brothers want to buy dry food, they can ask the clan leader and village chief to send people to the city to buy food to help them."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Cheng Yuannan looked at Cheng Yuandong, "Brother, do you want to come with us?"

Cheng Yuandong thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. The two of them spoke to Cheng Yuanxi and hurried to get some money from their respective wives to find the clan leader and the others.

After they left, Cheng Yuanxi also returned to his wife and children.

Chen Daya asked: "When can we leave?"

"I don't know." He used his hands to shield his wife from the sunlight that shone on her face. "The people who buy food can't leave until they come back."

He wasn't sure either.

"Stop covering up for me. You have been tired for a long time and you should sit down and take a rest." Chen Daya pulled him to the wheelbarrow and asked him to sit down.

With a smile on his face, Cheng Yuanxi stared at his tender and affectionate wife in front of him, even when Chen Daya saw her blushing, she didn't hold back.

Cheng Mingli took his sister to play. He felt that being around his parents would be an eyesore.

Mingyi also felt overwhelmed, maybe because she had eaten too much before and hadn't digested it yet.

"Sister, I don't know when they will come out. The mountains and forests here are lush and green, and there must be game. Shall we go to the mountains to have a look?"

"Okay, tell daddy." Mingyi pulled her brother back and walked back to her father. Seeing that he was still looking at her mother and smiling, she helplessly stretched out her hand and pulled the corners of their clothes, "Mom and dad."

"Huh?" Cheng Yuanxi lowered his head to look.Chen Daya's ears felt hot, and she looked at her children pretending to be calm, "Yiyi, Mingli, do you have anything to do with your parents?"

Mingyi shook his head, "It's okay. My brother and I came over to tell my parents that we want to go for a walk in the mountains."

"Don't go now. The people who bought food are about to leave when they get back. Then we will walk through the mountains and forests. Let's see when we are on the way?" Chen Daya's enthusiasm for the idea was gone, and she just held her daughter. hand.

Cheng Yuanxi nodded and agreed with his wife, "Your mother is right, we will go to the mountains later."

"Okay then~" Nodded regretfully, Cheng Mingli had nothing to do.

Mingyi was held in Chen Daya's arms and waited for the food buyer to come back. Mingyi didn't go, so Cheng Mingli naturally stayed by her side.

After waiting and waiting for more than an hour, the four people sent to buy grain arrived. Each of them was pushing a cart; it was full of grain and piled high.

"I'm back, I'm back."

"I'm back now, let's go and share the food."

The tribesmen gathered around one after another, and the tribe chief and village chief led people to maintain order and distribute food according to the money given by each family.

After more than half an hour, the food was distributed to each family. The clan leader cheered, "Each family should go back to pack their things and prepare to go into the mountains. Hurry up. If you don't want to spend the night in the mountains after dark, don't procrastinate."

"I understand, Patriarch, let's go now."

Each family that received food ran very fast, and as soon as they got home, they shouted to the women at home to pack their bags and set off.

Walking on the mountain road, it was difficult to move the cart. Cheng Yuanxi considered that he had not unloaded the food at home. Instead of carrying things on the mountain road, it was better to push the cart and make plans when the cart was unable to move.

The people of the Cheng family entered the mountains and forests under the leadership of their clan leader and village chief.

The mountain road was uneven, with ditches and ridges, and constant uphill and downhill slopes. Cheng Yuanxi had a hard time pushing; Chen Daya was not relaxed either. Fortunately, Cheng Mingli and Cheng Mingyi were there to help, so he could barely walk.

There are three men in the first and second bedrooms, so the food in the family is naturally put separately on the carts pushed by them. The men in their families work together to push it, which looks much easier than in the third bedroom.

Cheng Dazhu and Luo Cuihua were carrying small bags on their backs and following behind their sons. They were relatively relaxed people in the family.

However, the most relaxed person is Cheng Mingyue.

She had no luggage and didn't need to help push the cart. She was very relaxed with her hands empty. She even had the intention to watch Cheng Mingli and Mingyi sweat profusely from exhaustion. As long as she saw them uncomfortable, she was happy.

She was beaten several times because of Cheng Mingyi. Although she restrained her temper, she did not hate him.

Just learn to hide.

The mountain road is cooler than outside, but even so, those on the road are still sweating profusely.

After walking for a long time, they finally saw Shuzhou City; this meant that they had bypassed Shuzhou City from the mountains and could continue on the official road.

"Quickly, go down the mountain and cook, rest for a night and then leave tomorrow."

The clan leader shouted loudly, and everyone in the clan heaved a sigh of relief, finally having a good meal.

Across from Shuzhou City, wild vegetables are luxuriant here. The previous refugees must have never come here; those who are reluctant to part with money cannot pass the city gate, and those without money cannot leave Shuzhou City. They are not familiar with the place here and do not know the mountains. Under such circumstances, he was unable to make the same determination as the chiefs and village chiefs of the Cheng clan to cross the mountains, and was destined to be blocked outside the city of Shuzhou.

The good scenery and rich resources at this end of Shuzhou City have naturally been preserved.
