Concubine Rebirth: Your Highness, I am sick

Chapter 109 Picking up a Baby and Going to Town
Hearing that someone was dead, people surrounded him immediately, rushing to pick up the woman's package.

"What are you doing!" Haitang asked in surprise.

A young man picked up the package and shook it, and two little doll bellybands fell out of it. "C'mon, there's nothing. Seeing that she's well dressed, I thought she was a rich man. Let's go!" The young man waved his hand, and everyone saw that they had nothing to share, and immediately dispersed.

Haitang's face flushed red: "Why are they doing this!"

Qin Yan took her hand, squeezed it hard, and said in a low voice, "Haitang calm down, don't argue with them."

Then he asked the middle-aged man: "Where do you come from? The imperial court is distributing disaster relief food in Zhongzhou, why don't you go to the city?"

The middle-aged man looked at him strangely, and saw that although the two men were cleanly dressed and handsome, they were also dressed in green cloth, which did not look like court officials, so he said, "You two have come from a long way. Hunger. Some of the people here are from Fengzhou, some are from Jixian County. Anyway, they are all in the hardest-hit areas. Their homes have been washed away and their fields have been flooded. I heard that Zhongzhou has disaster relief. Who doesn't want to go to the city. But...hehe...the imperial court...haha!"

Hearing his sarcasm, Qin Yan couldn't help being a little angry: "What happened to the court?"

The middle-aged man was still laughing, but an old man next to him answered the words: "Only the imperial court knows who the relief is. Anyway, the gate of Zhongzhou City is tightly closed, and we can't get in at all."

Qin Yan was shocked: "There is such a thing?"

The middle-aged man looked at him: "Boy, you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, so if you don't believe me, try it yourself."

Qin Yan didn't believe it, he pulled Haitang to go to Zhongzhou on his horse, but Haitang refused to leave.

"Husband, the baby is crying."

She let go of Qin Yan's hand, bent down, and picked up the baby from the ground: "Look, he's very hungry."

As soon as the little baby was picked up, it arched towards Haitang's chest. The little pink tongue stuck out of its mouth and licked its lips, which made Qin Yan's heart soften.

He asked the middle-aged man: "This child is pitiful, can I trouble my eldest brother to ask who is willing to take him in."

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Anyone who has a baby here wants to give the child away, just so that the child can still have something to eat. I am almost starving to death, who can support another person."

Haitang hugged the baby and refused to let go, looking at Qin Yan pitifully.Qin Yan sighed: "Brother, our husband and wife will take this doll away. If his relatives find him, please tell him that he can go to Fengcheng to find us."

The middle-aged man waved his hand: "Hurry up, take it away, take it away. If this doll hits your hands, you will be considered a lucky one. If you don't leave, a bunch of people will give you the doll."

Haitang couldn't laugh when she heard this, she just felt extremely sad, sighed, picked up the two bellybands from the ground, and stuffed them into her arms.Holding the baby again, he rubbed his mother's face: "Baby, remember your mother. She passed away and is still breastfeeding you. You must remember your mother."

As he spoke, he shed tears again.

Qin Yan reached out his hand to get the silk from his bosom, but when he stretched out his hand, it was empty, and then he remembered that he had changed his clothes a long time ago, and he was still as particular as he was when he was a prince.He had no choice but to pull up his sleeves and wipe away tears for Haitang: "Let's go, go to Zhongzhou earlier and make plans."

Walking to the side of the horse, Qin Yan took a piece of clothing from the package, tied it into a pocket, wrapped it around his chest, and asked Haitang to put the baby inside.

Haitang hesitated: "This way you will be tired."

Qin Yan sighed, "How can you ride a horse with him in your arms? I knew I should have hired a carriage. Anyway, Zhongzhou City is not far away, so let's hurry up, and we will be able to enter the city before sunset."

The little baby was very sensible, and fell asleep sweetly in Qin Yan's arms, bumping all the way.Sure enough, before the end of the afterglow, he arrived outside the city of Zhongzhou.

The refugees were right.In Zhongzhou City, the city gate was closed tightly, and the soldiers guarding the city were patrolling the top of the city. More than a dozen archers were guarding there, looking at the tiger for a long time.

Although Haitang didn't know why, seeing such a situation felt a bit chilly: "That's all for closing the door, what are those archers doing? Could it be that someone is attacking the city?"

Qin Yan's face was solemn: "They are afraid that the victims will cause chaos, and they are not even allowed to approach Zhongzhou City. It can be seen that, let alone going to the city to receive relief supplies, they are indeed old hands who deceived their superiors."

The soldiers on the top of the city had obviously spotted them and shouted, "Who is here?"

Qin Yan said loudly: "Who cares about me, I want to go to the city!"

The guard was polite and shouted: "The city gate is open at noon every day, if you want to enter the city, come and line up at noon tomorrow."

Qin Yan understood.Zhongzhou City doesn't want the victims to enter the city, but it can't cut off the external contact because of this.In order to ensure the normal passage of personnel, customs clearance is scheduled on a daily basis, which can not only control the flow of people in and out, but also facilitate centralized identity verification, which can be considered painstaking.

"What if I want to go to the city at this time?" Qin Yan is also stubborn.

"Then don't blame swords and arrows for not having eyes!"

Haitang saw the situation, and feared that she would not be able to enter the city without revealing her identity, so she tugged at Qin Yan's sleeves, telling him to stay calm.Then he asked in a low voice, "What's the name of the prefect of Zhongzhou?"

Qin Yan said, "Chen Xinda."

Haitang nodded, raised her face, and said to the guard in a charming voice: "Brother, we and my wife are from the capital, and we have something to bring to you, Prefect Chen. Please send someone out to inspect the token before deciding whether to let it go or not." Let go."

When he heard that he was here to find the magistrate, the guard was a little apprehensive.Seeing that although the two are clothed in common clothes and green shirts, but their demeanor is really extraordinary, I also feel suspicious.This person should not be judged by his appearance, if he really offended the distinguished guests of the magistrate, he would not be able to afford it.

After a while, the city gate opened a crack, and a young soldier ran out, went to Qin Yan, and saluted politely.

Qin Yan knew that this kind of soldier was just cannon fodder sent by others. If he had evil intentions, then this soldier would come to die.So he didn't make things difficult for him, and went to take out the gold seal from his pocket.When she lowered her head, she found that the little baby had already woken up, and was looking at herself with open black eyes.

Qin Yan couldn't help but smile, and said to Haitang: "Look, the baby is awake."

Haitang leaned over to have a look, and also thought it was cute, and touched his little face: "Baby, wake up, are you hungry?"

The little soldier was also puzzled, and this couple was also fun, and at this moment, they still have the kung fu to tease the baby.

But looking down at the golden seal handed over by the other party, the little soldier was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he knelt down with a "plop": "Shen...Shen..."

Qin Yan sneered: "Stop participating, tell them to open the door."

The little soldier scrambled back, and after a while, the city gate opened, and another group of people rushed out, knelt in front of Qin Yan and shouted for mercy, and then entered the city surrounded by Qin Yan and Haitang.
