Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 233 Meeting relatives outside the city gate
More than an hour later, the group of people arrived outside the city. As Zhu Er said, porridge began to be distributed outside the city today, and the refugees outside the city lined up to receive the porridge.

The outside of the city, which was once littered with corpses, has also been cleaned up, and there are many temporary huts erected on both sides of the road.

Ke Muqing was looking at the refugees in deep thought when Yang Shuangshuang suddenly stretched out his hand to pull her excitedly, "Grandma! Grandma! Look, Grandma! Is that Mr. Li Zheng and the others? Grandma! I saw Mr. Li Zheng and the others. !”

After Yang Shuangshuang finished speaking, the children of Yang Lizheng's family in the carriage behind also saw Mr. Lizheng and were shouting towards the front in the carriage.

"Aweng! Aweng!"

Yang Lizheng, who was negotiating with someone in front, heard the voice. He paused for a moment and froze, then suddenly looked back.

Ke Muqing also saw many familiar people, and several members of Ke Hongxiu's family.

Ke Muqing hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and trotted forward, then patted Ke Hongxiu on the shoulder.

Ke Hongxiu turned his head, extremely surprised.

"Ke Muqing?" Ke Hongxiu subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

"What's Ke Muqing? I'm neither old nor young, so why don't you call me eldest sister?" Ke Muqing nodded Ke Hongxiu's forehead and scolded her. Just as she was about to ask why she didn't see the two sisters Yang Xiufang, she heard someone calling her mother behind her.

Turning around, it turned out to be two sisters, Yang Xiufang and Yang Xiuxiang.

"She is really my mother!" Yang Xiuxiang cried with joy, "Third sister, do you look at me like this? I look at you as your mother, and you really are your mother!"

Ke Muqing was also very surprised. He never expected to meet his tribe members outside the city.

"How did you get here so quickly? Has it been a good journey?" Ke Muqing looked at the two sisters up and down, "I've lost weight, I've all lost weight."

Looking at their dry mouths, one could tell that they had just arrived here from Chen County.

Ke Muqing hurriedly ran back to the carriage and called Feng Ying and others to bring water and food to distribute to the tribesmen.

There is no shortage of steamed buns and steamed buns on the Yang family's carriage. Feng Ying and the others made a lot of them in the past few days.

When Yang Lizheng saw that Ke Muqing didn't bother talking to his children, he came to find Ke Muqing first.

"Jiye Niang, thanks to the food and water you left behind along the way, all of us relied on the things you left to support us here. I never expected to meet you here. Counting the time, you should You must have arrived in the south a long time ago, why did you delay until now?" Yang Lizheng asked hurriedly, "How are you all?"

"We are all fine. We encountered too many things along the way, and we were delayed in Chen County for nearly a month. We have also been in Zhuang County for nearly half a month." Ke Muqing explained, "But Mr. Li Zheng, you are so fast. "

"Can we not hurry up? We all want to get to the south as soon as possible, especially to Chen County. The journey is really difficult." Yang Lizheng said, "Except for three or four hours of rest a day, we are on the road the rest of the time. No, last night Everyone didn't rest all night, and they just left Zhuang County's territory overnight to get here. We all want to go to the south to find you as soon as possible. "

Just a few words can't describe the hard work of this journey.

"Thanks to mom leaving us signals along the way, we didn't take any detours. It's also thanks to mom leaving so many things for us that we were able to survive." Yang Xiufang said. Many people set out together, and everyone supported each other. Those who had more food shared it with those who had less. The adults gave way to their children, and the strong gave way to the weak. Everyone ate and went hungry day by day, and everyone was as skinny as a stick. At any rate, I managed to survive.

Ke Muqing understood that she was delayed all the way here and took her time. Master Li Zheng and the others were anxious, so it was as if they had been on their way, so they met by chance.

What makes Ke Muqing even more happy is that everyone has used the things she left to the clan members along the way.

"By the way, why are you all outside the city? Are you not planning to enter the city?" Ke Muqing asked.

"I was going to wait in line for porridge, and I asked how much money it would cost to enter the city. Didn't I just go there and hear you shouting before I even asked." Mr. Yang Lizheng said, "I heard that Zhuang County was taken by the rebels. Zhuang County was captured by the rebels." The county does not need money to enter the city now, and the rebels are also giving porridge to the refugees outside the city gates and building straw huts for them."

"But I don't know yet whether the victims from other places can enter the city directly. I heard that the floods are serious in the south and there is a plague. The city gates are guarded and refugees are not allowed to enter the city for fear that they will be infected with the disease and infect the people in the city."

When Ke Muqing heard this, he smiled and said, "The plague is from the south. It has nothing to do with you coming from Yan County. You will enter the city with us later."

Ke Muqing was talking to Yang Lizheng, but the villagers didn't come to disturb them. After the two of them finished speaking, everyone gathered around Ke Muqing, and one of them called Jiye Niang, his voice full of gratitude.

"Stepye mother, we meet again. I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

"Mother Jiye, our fellow villagers are all well, how are you all?"

"Stephen, thank you for this journey, otherwise we don't know how many of us would be alive now."

"Mother Jiye, we all relied on the food you left for us to get to Zhuang County. Without you, we would not have a chance to live. We don't know how to thank you."

Some people were standing behind the crowd, crying and speechless, and just nodded along with everyone.

Ke Muqing smiled at everyone, comforted them a few words, and then led everyone into the city.

The Yang family's group was okay. They were all white and fat, and they looked like refugees at first glance. However, Yang Lizheng's group was unexpectedly stopped.

Ke Muqing jumped off the carriage and told the people guarding the city gate that Yang Lizheng and his group came from Yan County and not from the south. Then he quietly showed the guard the token that Zhu Er left for her. Yang Lizheng and his party The people were then released into the city.

Now the city is much more lively than the last time Ke Muqing came to the city. The corrupt officials in the yamen were killed. Now the people in charge of the yamen are good people who can go out of the city to give porridge, so everyone can go out of the house with peace of mind.

One inn couldn't accommodate so many people, so Ke Muqing found several inns that were only a few steps away and booked all three inns.

There are not many passers-by in Zhuang County now, and many inns are closed. Ke Muqing just knocked on people's doors and called for business. As soon as he heard that the big customer wanted to book the whole inn, the owner, who was not the God of Wealth who came in and pushed out the door, quickly opened the door and welcomed the guest in.

Ke Muqing was generous with his money, and the owner and the waiter didn't mind the dirty people who came in, and they still greeted them with smiles.

"Can you please boss, please boil more water for me and my clan members to bathe in, and make some delicious food for everyone. They haven't eaten well for a while, and their stomachs are weak. Don't cook heavy-flavored food, but make something light and easy to digest."
