Traveling through the money-making life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 91 Please tell me what household registration is (1)
Mu Shuangwan imitated the appearance of the people around her and lined up. At this moment, a few guards, holding the wooden fence blocking the city gate, not far behind Mu Shuangwan, separated the people in front of them and the people behind them. people separated.

Mu Shuangwan was very puzzled by this behavior, so she lightly touched the shoulder of a woman in front of her, and then said to the woman in surprise. "Sister-in-law, why did the officers and soldiers block the fence behind us?"

The woman glanced at Mu Shuangwan, and saw that she was still young, and the expression on her face was also ignorant and surprised. She looked like she had never traveled far, and she probably didn't know the rules of Ciyun County.

"The vicinity of Ciyun County has been frequently haunted by robbers recently. In order to protect the people in the county from the robbers, the magistrate of the county will close the gates of Ciyun County when it is getting dark. If you want to enter or leave the city again, you have to take the official letter from the magistrate of the county."

Mu Shuangwan understood a little bit, it turned out that it was to prevent theft.

But along the way, Mu Shuangwan had never seen a place to eat or rest, so these people have to stay outside the city overnight?
Mu Shuangwan couldn't help feeling that the county magistrate's actions were unreasonable.

If a robber really wanted to enter the city, would he definitely choose to enter the city at night?
Or do they think it can be avoided this way?
Even so, Mu Shuangwan still held a sliver of hope in her heart, so Mu Shuangwan continued to ask with a bit of embarrassment while smiling.

"But those people outside the fence? What are they going to do? Will the officers and soldiers give them a place to sleep?"

"How can there be such a beautiful thing? I must wait and see when the city gate will open tomorrow morning, and then get ahead of it in advance. Just like us now, line up and undergo inspection, so that we can enter."

When the woman said this, there was an inexplicable pride on her face. She looked at the people outside the fence, her eyes were full of disdain and contempt.

Mu Shuangwan frowned slightly. For the person in front of her, she didn't know where the sense of superiority came from. It was obviously only a fence away, so she began to lose interest in this woman, so she no longer had any relationship with this woman. small talk.

She focused her eyes on the people outside the fence. In fact, the number of people outside the fence was no less than the people inside the fence, and there were many old people and children among them. Like Mu Shuangwan, they wore worn linen clothes, Their faces were full of panic and longing. They looked at the gate of the city helplessly, as if they really wanted to go in.

At this time, even though it was already five or six in the afternoon, the weather was still hot.

And where they stood, because it was close to the west, the sun could still shine on them.

With the hot weather and the inability to enter the city, gradually, the originally quiet group of people began to become chaotic.

The most outrageous thing was a man who looked relatively strong. He came later than everyone else. When he saw the fence blocking him, he turned around and slapped the woman behind him.

"It's you, I've already said, come out earlier, come out earlier, it's you, a woman, who insists on bringing so many things, and now the city gate is not allowed to enter, what do you think should be done?"

The woman's disheveled hair looked that rare sallow skin, and it looked like she was malnourished.

When the man's slap came up, she didn't even dare to hide, and received the slap abruptly.
