survival in the wilderness

Tangning felt slightly uncomfortable being stared at by everyone.Fortunately, Zhang Xiaowu and the others who were just arrested are not here.

Taking a deep breath, she spoke slowly, "My name is Tangning. I am from Anping County. My family used to be a noble. Later, after the alliance was unified, I was the only one left. In the past few years, people in Anping County have looked at me strangely. , often bully me and humiliate me, I just want to live..."

Huo Lie and Ming Sanfeng both listened quietly without interrupting her.

A woman was born extraordinary, fell suddenly, and her identity changed. She was unwilling to compromise with her fate and struggled in the mud.

Ming Sanfeng looked at her sympathetically, "Miss Tang, don't worry, we will verify everything you just said and we will definitely give you an explanation. If anyone bullies you in the future, please go directly to the patrol team."

Tangning was extremely grateful: "Thank you very much. Will the patrol team stay in Anping County forever?"

Ming Sanfeng looked at Huo Lie, she was just a soldier and had to listen to her superiors.

Huo Lie said: "The inspection team is going to inspect various cities. I will leave Ming Sanfeng and four people to stay in Anping County."

In order to solve the stubborn problems in Anzhou and Yongzhou, the Arbitration Court took a cruel approach this time and transferred people from the army, most of whom were upright and principled.

The Anzhou Inspection and Supervision Department has a total of five inspection teams, each with a quota of 30 people. Each team has its own inspection scope and rotates every six months.

Huo Lie leads the second team and is responsible for the Pingcheng area. Anping is the county seat of Pingcheng.Naturally, he has to stay in Pingcheng permanently, so he can only send people to stay in the following counties.

The inspection team worked vigorously and resolutely, and it took only six days to find out Tang Ning's history of being bullied and make a detailed list of those involved.

Some people are just verbally abusive, and the punishment is the lightest, with a fine and money.

For serious cases, five were arrested, such as Zhang Xiaowu. In addition to being fined, they were required to undergo labor reform.

Huo Lie took Tang Ning as an example and told everyone in Anping County that the laws of the alliance should not be trampled on, and the so-called law does not punish everyone.

Not only do these people rely on the large number of people to do whatever they want, but also with the help of some well-intentioned people, they make the atmosphere in Anping County worse and worse.

Another point is that the people in charge of Anping County are locals, who work together to keep warm. The relationships are complicated and it is difficult to understand the government orders.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Some people are becoming more and more courageous and try to cover the sky with one hand.

When the compensation was finally received, Tangning couldn't help but tremble. She had never expected to receive compensation, and having those people punished was a luxury.

Ming Sanfeng personally handled the finishing work and sent the money to Tang Ning's home. Seeing her appearance, he couldn't help but said: "It will get better and better in the future. With this money, your life is guaranteed. If you want to do this, Anything is fine.”

Tears welled in Tang Ning's eyes, and she tried to hold back the tears, "Sister Sanfeng, thank you!"

"This is my duty and I don't deserve your thanks. If you really want to thank me, just live well and don't lose heart. Everything will get better and better. You have to believe in the alliance, justice and freedom, and have confidence in the alliance."

Tangning nodded vigorously. She had persevered despite all the difficulties in the past few years. There was no reason to give up after the haze cleared.

Living has always been her obsession.

Suddenly an idea flashed and she said: "Sister Sanfeng, I want to go to Nanhai Port City. Can you help me issue an immigration certificate?"

She had long wanted to get out of the quagmire. When the opportunity was presented to her, she had to fight for it.

Ming Sanfeng looked at her expectantly, but did not say any words of rejection. Instead, he said: "You really have made up your mind not to stay in Anping County. This is your home after all."

"I've thought about it, I want to leave." Tangning was extremely determined. "I want to see what the sea looks like, and I want to see the great rivers and mountains of the alliance described in the book. I couldn't leave before, but now I have money, which can be used as travel expenses. "Ming Sanfeng saw that she had thought of everything. It was obviously not a sudden idea, but a plan.

It's not easy to think about her identity and experience. It might be better to leave this sad place.Ming Sanfeng said: "Think again. If you still insist on leaving, come to the patrol team and ask me to accompany you to go through the formalities."

After Ming Sanfeng left, Tang Ning looked around at the small courtyard where she lived. It was low and shabby, with few decent furniture.

There is absolutely no comparison with the home that is becoming increasingly blurry in my memory. Sometimes I dream back in the middle of the night and ask myself over and over again what the meaning of staying here is.

Unable to find the answer, she just knew she had to live.No matter how difficult the life was, she persevered.

There is nothing worth remembering here anymore. With the compensation money and the wages earned from road construction, the travel expenses to Nanhai Port City are covered.

She is not afraid of suffering and poverty once she gets there.

There are many reports about Nanhai Port City in the newspaper. She often reads it. It is a place that is strongly supported by the alliance and has good policies.

Tang Ning firmly believed that even if she was alone, she could make a name for herself in Nanhai Port City.

Nanhai Port City has developed industries and needs a large number of people, so there is no need to worry about finding jobs.Besides, she is literate and has an advantage in finding a job.

The next morning, when she saw Tang Ning calling for her, Ming Sanfeng knew that she had made her decision, so she stopped trying to persuade her and helped her with the immigration procedures.

After everything was done, Tangning sincerely invited: "Sister Sanfeng, my things at home have been taken care of. Do you have time in the evening? I will cook a meal at home to thank you for taking care of me these days."

"Okay, I will definitely be there." Ming Sanfeng did not refuse. She thought that after this farewell, she might never see each other again.

Tangning has decided to leave tomorrow.I really don’t want to stay another day.

After getting in touch with her over the past few days, Ming Sanfeng admired Tangning very much. She was an indomitable woman who had escaped from the prison of Anping County. She believed that she would be able to live a good life no matter where she was.

After saying goodbye to Ming Sanfeng, Tang Ning immediately went back to pack her things. The courtyard was rented and all she could take with her was a few pieces of clothing.

She bought some food, negotiated with the landlord, and then went to Anping County Station to book a ticket to Pingcheng the next day.Don’t stop when you arrive in Pyeongseong, go directly to Anseong Pier, where there is a boat to Nanhae Port City.

The next morning, Tangning was in an unprecedented mood, and everything in Anping County looked a little better.She couldn't help but smile and said to herself, Goodbye.

The carriage rolled and drove into the distance. She did not look back, did not hesitate, and moved forward firmly.

No one came to say goodbye. Ming Sanfeng wanted to come, but she refused.

She didn't like the scene of parting, so she left quietly without any worries or melancholy about separation, everything was just right.

This time, what awaits her is brand new, a vast world for her to roam.

A few days later, at the Nanhai Port City Pier, Tangning raised her hands to shield herself from the dazzling sunlight, looking out at the endless sea. Feelings of pride surged in her chest, and she knew she had come to the right place.

It was a strange city with many different faces, but she felt it was so beautiful.

This is where she started over. Everything in the past disappeared like clouds of smoke, and Tang Ning, who had regained her life, followed the flow of people and walked towards the city. (End of chapter)
