Chapter 19

Xia Qiyue took the purse, and calmly took out a pound of rice from the space under the cover of the back basket, and then put the two children into the back basket and carried it on her back.

Seeing this, the patriarch quickly waved his hands, "Okay, okay! Hurry up! If you're lucky, you might even have lunch when you arrive at the county seat!"

The Shanbei Zhuangzi they were in was too far away from the county seat, so they couldn't see a few fleeing people along the way, and they had already left one step ahead.

It's also lucky that nothing major happened along the way. Although the elderly and children can't stand it, there are still family members supporting them.

The patriarch had spoken, and the lunch sentence had an effect, and nothing happened on the rest of the journey.

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, old man an stared at his old woman to prevent her from making trouble, and stayed away from her.

Liu Jiajia enthusiastically recognized Xia Qiyue as her sister, and pestered her to walk with her the rest of the way.

Only Liu Jiajia and An Wang are women in the family. Although An Wang is angry at this daughter-in-law's ignorance, she has to take care of her all the way for her son and grandson.

Therefore, they didn't go far along the way. Most of the time, Xia Qiyue said a few words to Mrs. An, and then listened to Liu Jiajia's twittering, without much response.

Although she knew that Liu Jiajia's distorted personality might be caused by a long-term lack of love, she still believed that she didn't have such a good personality. If she could coax her to get along with her, it would be better to walk around not far or near.

This is because Wang An is easy to get along with and helps her everywhere, otherwise Xia Qiyue would not be able to provoke such a twisted and pregnant woman.

The patriarch's desire to quench his thirst had an effect, and everyone's speed was much faster.

Before noon, we arrived at the county seat.

However, the scene in front of him swallowed all the hopes of the Shanbei Zhuangzi.

There are countless refugees outside the city wall, crowded with people and howling.

But there was no movement at the city gate, and there were no soldiers to handle even the city wall.

Li Zheng asked everyone to stop at a distance from the city wall full of refugees.

This is not what the patriarch said at all, you can still stutter here, on the contrary, the county does not even allow people to enter.

"What should we do now? We can't even enter the county seat, so what should we do?"

There was panic in the crowd, one after another, the old, weak, women and children who had no independent opinion and cowardice collapsed violently.

"What can we do? The county magistrate doesn't care about us anymore, where else can we go?"

A woman took the lead, and many people wept.

Xia Qiyue firmly held the hands of her younger brother and sister, and comforted the two children in the basket with a voice, but her eyes kept staring at the gate of the city.

She found out that although the city gate was crowded with people, upon closer inspection, she found that there was actually an empty space at the main city gate, and it was guarded by yamen servants, not just one or two.

No matter how much there is, you can't see it, and there are too many people who can't hear anything.

"Okay, don't cry!" Lizheng shouted with a headache, "If the county is not good enough, let's go to the prefectural city, if the prefectural city is not good, let's go to the capital, there is always room for us!"

After speaking, he turned and discussed with the patriarch.

Not long after, Li Zheng personally went to the gate of the city, and when he came back, he spoke with a bad face and told everyone the situation at the gate of the city.

"Everyone, don't worry. Although it costs ten coppers per person to enter the city, fortunately, the county magistrate has not given up on us, has he?" No matter how loud Li Zheng's voice was, he couldn't shout so many people. Fortunately, everyone stopped to listen to the news. , enclosing Lizheng in the middle.

"Lizheng, what do you mean the county magistrate didn't give up on us?" There were many impatient people in the crowd who couldn't wait for Lizheng to explain and asked loudly.

There are a lot of teams surrounded like them, and most of those fleeing from the famine came out in a team of clans or villages.

"Don't be impatient! Listen to me!" Li was shouting a little hoarse, waving his hands, "The adults at the gate of the city said that the county magistrate is collecting donations from rich people in the city, and he will be able to give it to everyone tomorrow." The gruel soup shed has been settled! So what everyone has to do now is to wait! Fortunately, we still have some dry food and water in our hands, so we can get over it after a while!"

At this moment, the women who were crying and breaking down also stopped. Everyone listened to Lizheng's arrangement, took their families as their teams, spread out their seats, saluted and sat down to rest.

Xia Qiyue didn't intend to rush to salute, she nodded to Liu Jiajia's invitation to be together, and then her mind became active.

One person needs ten copper coins... She has ten copper coins, exactly fifty copper coins...

But she is a little woman with a child, what excuse does she have to enter the city when no one jumps out to enter the city?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he put down the back basket, let the two children come out to move their hands and feet, and then asked the younger sister to make a slow salute, while he pulled his son and whispered.

Soon, before Xia Jiuyue had time to lay the salute, An Qingxuan suddenly collapsed in Xia Qiyue's arms.

"Xuan'er? What's wrong with you, Xuan'er? Xuan'er, wake up, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Qiyue started her own performance, her acting skills were superb, she burst into tears, and soon shocked everyone in Lao An's family.

At the same time, An Qingke, Xia Jiuyue, and Xia Xinghe were terrified, their faces turned pale, and they called An Qingxuan's name, and An Qingke was crying out of breath.

Very good, this is what Xia Qiyue wants. It's okay to be intimidated, the important thing is to go to the city.

At the same time, Li Zheng and the patriarch also ran over, panting with Old Man An.

Old Mrs. An followed behind, cursing and swearing, but it was not difficult to see on her face that she was a little worried.

"Uncle Patriarch, Uncle Lizheng, what should I do, Xuan'er suddenly fainted, it's useless to shout... woo woo woo..."

Xia Qiyue sat on the ground holding Xuan'er, crying and talking, but she just didn't let anyone get close to him.

"Bitch... what did you do to my grandson?"

Li Zheng and the patriarch were very anxious, but Mrs. An who ran over from behind had already scolded them.

"Uncle An Bang, why don't you let my aunt go back first! Don't make trouble!"

Li Zheng frowned, and felt a little headache when he saw Mrs. An's hob meat.

Old Antou was also worried about his grandson. Although the family had no shortage of grandsons, he was the only son who joined the army. He didn't say it on the face, but he paid attention to it in his heart.

Turning her head and staring at the past, Old Mrs. An's voice quieted down, but she still said, "Bitch, if something happens to my grandson, be careful of your skin!"

Xia Qiyue didn't have time to worry about so much at this time, she just looked at Li Zheng and the patriarch with hazy eyes. What's hateful is that there is not even a barefoot doctor in the whole Shanbei Zhuangzi.

"Zichen's family, why don't you take the child into the city to have a look! There is a doctor in the city!"

The patriarch thought for a while, there was no other way but this, the child fainted, this Zichen's family didn't even allow people to touch the child, and it was impossible for people to check what was going on with the child.

 It will be delivered at three o'clock today, babies, remember to vote for it
