The convoy traveled for another two days, and they finally reached the next county town.

A team of armed officers were guarding the city gate, checking the household registrations of people entering the city one by one. If anything was found to be wrong, they would immediately arrest them.

The convoy that wanted to enter the city to replenish supplies was also blocked.

No matter what Father Song said, the officer would not let them pass. He only said one sentence: "There is an order from above. No one who is not from this county is allowed to enter."

A dozen officers surrounded them and prevented them from approaching the city gate.The rest of the people continued to check the household registrations of other people behind the team. After checking that they were from the county, they released the people into the city.

Another convoy was stopped outside the city gate. As soon as they heard this situation, they turned around and planned to leave without saying a word.

Father Song rushed forward to stop the horse and asked, then pointed at the motorcade here, and finally came back with an ugly face.

"But something happened?" Village Chief Song led people forward to ask.

Song's father explained in a serious tone: "There has been a severe drought in the north for months. The aristocratic families in the capital have a monopoly on food. People in many places fled south to famine. The Holy Spirit targeted the aristocratic families. The three princes in the north rebelled with the support of the aristocratic families. In order to prevent traitors. Entering the city, all counties and cities do not allow outsiders to enter the city.”

boom!

The expressions of those who gathered around changed greatly!

The three kings rebelled, and the people could not escape?

Is this going to change?

Aunt Ma looked at a loss: "What should we do? The drought has not passed yet, and there is another war? These big shots don't care about our life or death at all!"

Mrs. Song unconsciously grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand: "We, are we still leaving? No one is accepted in other places, and we can't enter the city if we go south. How about we go back? Anyway, at least we can have someone. A place to stay.”

"The north is in chaos, but the south is not. We still have to go south, otherwise we will either starve to death, or every household will have to send people to fight. From that war decades ago, only two people came back from our village! Two people!" Village Chief Song's cane was shaking very much, but he still made a decision quickly.

"If I don't go back home, I will only have a son and a grandson. They don't have the ability to survive on the battlefield. Not everyone is my eldest brother and Dushan's father. Let's pack up our things and go south quickly!"

Butcher Song nodded: "I'm just a pig butcher. I haven't learned any killing skills. I can't come back after going to the battlefield. It's better to take my family to the south to try my luck. If it doesn't work, just find a mountain to hide in the south. Hide and come out when you feel safe!"

"Village Chief, my family listens to you. Now that the world is in chaos, we can only survive if we stay together." Song Daniu spoke out.

The Song people shouted one after another:

"Yes! We have to survive!"

"Live!"

Several officers surrounding them also heard what was going on here and immediately reported the matter to the squad leader.

The squad leader had known about this for a long time, so he naturally didn't panic.

Seeing that the noise of this group of people was getting louder and louder, causing the people around him who were queuing up to enter the city to panic. He immediately stepped forward to drive away this group of people: "Go, go! Get to the edge, don't stay here! Be careful, we are not strong with weapons." Eye!"

Facing the officer's sword, Village Chief Song called everyone to move aside.

It is not a wise decision to conflict with the errand at this time.

"Everyone has heard what Youcai said just now. My family will not go back. You can discuss it among yourselves. You can tell me after you have discussed it."

After Village Chief Song said that, he took his children and grandchildren to check what else was in his car, thinking of finding a way to buy something in the city later.

When Father Song came back, everyone in the Song family had their thoughts in mind.

"Let's go south too. We can't go to war. No one can go!" Song's mother was very excited.

Seeing Mother Song like this, Song Nan stepped forward and took her hand. For some reason, Mother Song's hands were trembling.

From the moment she arrived here, she knew that war would happen sooner or later.

When natural disasters come, the era of low productivity cannot allow the people to spend this period safely. Those with weird thoughts will also find opportunities to plan their own benefits.

You need a reason to do these things, but finding a reason is very simple.

It could be a specious text appearing on a huge stone in a certain place overnight; it could be the three kings trying to save the suffering people; it could also be God deeming the current saint unworthy of being a saint, and sent down divine punishment to prevent a month-long drought...

But these are not what Song Nan and the lower class people need to consider. All they need to consider is how to survive in this troubled world.

Song Nan said: "Whether there's a war or not, we're going south, that's where we'll find a way to survive."

"Is it Master...did he say that?" Song Bai raised his head and looked at Song Nan excitedly.

Under the gaze of his family, Song Nan nodded.

If they can believe it if she says this, then let her pull Grandpa Song's tiger skin to pretend.

At this time, Song's father did not open his mouth to discuss with them. He turned around and told Village Chief Song about their family's plans.

Soon, everyone in the team made a decision and unanimously decided to go south.

Village Chief Song greeted: "Is there anyone who plans to go into the city to buy things? I want to collect some money and give it to the guard at the door to see if I can be accommodating."

Several families raised their hands, and three of them were members of the Song family who had not bought a cow. They now wanted to buy a cow.

At this time, if you don’t buy cattle, you won’t be able to keep up with the team.

With the threat of war, people with bullock carts would naturally no longer stop and wait for them to catch up as before.

To buy cattle, you must buy cattle!

Eight families collected 30 taels of silver and gave it to Song Youfu and Song's father, who took several young men to the city gate to negotiate with the guards guarding the city.

Other people were sighing beside their cars, thinking about where to go next.

The only person in the team who was not panicking was Song Nan.

Even the two-year-old Song Xi knew that fighting would result in death, so she stayed quietly with her grandma and did not cause trouble to the adults.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Song Liu's voice came from the carriage. The Song family members all looked here, but they couldn't tell what was happening inside through the curtain.

Aren't there only the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law in the car?

Song Nan's memory was that the fourth brother had never been shy with anyone, and he had never spoken to the fourth sister-in-law like this, let alone the current fourth sister-in-law who was pregnant.

Pregnant!

Song Nan seemed to have guessed something...

Sure enough, I heard Fourth Brother's voice coming from inside again, but his voice was choked with sobs: "You can't hit us, we're keeping the children. I won't let you have any accidents, absolutely not."

boom!

Song's mother stood up reflexively, and Song Nan grabbed her hand to prevent her from going forward.

Song Nan knew that Song's mother didn't like hearing these words the most. When she was pregnant with her at a young age, she didn't even think about aborting the child, but tried her best to give birth to her.

Now that she heard that the fourth sister-in-law wanted to abort the child, how could she sit still?
