The patrolling Fucheng soldiers followed the direction of the sound and saw two refugees squatting under the corner of the city wall.

They reminded with a straight face: "No one is allowed to stay here! Leave immediately!"

The two of them looked panicked.

Mrs. Xia rolled her eyes, secretly pinched the soft flesh on her waist with her fingers, and hugged her feet.

His face suddenly turned pale, and dense beads of sweat appeared on his face, which was already sweating profusely.

"Ouch, my feet are so painful that I can't stand up. Sir, please, please, let us take a breather here!"

When the patrol team saw that the old lady didn't seem to be faking it, they left with a cold face.

When Mrs. Xia saw them no more, she rubbed her painful waist, stood up, and slapped Mr. Xia on the back.

"You have to rely on me for everything. If you read and read, you will end up in the dog's belly! If I hadn't been smart, we would have been discovered when we got in through the dog hole. Do you want to be taken to jail?"

Xia Laoer grinned in pain and complained: "If the eldest brother hadn't gotten in for a long time, we would have left long ago. How could we have been discovered!"

Mrs. Xia's attention was immediately diverted, and she whispered outside the cave entrance: "Where is the boss? Where did he die!?"

Boss Xia outside looked at the small dog hole with a confused look on his face.

Hearing Mrs. Xia's voice, she replied dully: "I'm still here!"

Mrs. Xia really hates the fact that iron cannot become steel, and she urged: "If you don't come over here, we won't wait for you!"

Boss Xia finally bit the bullet and got in.

As a result, because he was relatively strong, he got stuck.

Mrs. Xia and Lao Er Xia pulled his hands hard and pulled him out little by little.

This movement attracted people again.

The refugees who couldn't get in outside were walking around when they saw a pair of feet kicking hard not far away.

They thought they were dazzled, why can a person only move with two legs left?

They had seen a lot of dead people outside, so they were not afraid at all. Instead, they looked closer.

It turns out that someone is digging into the dog hole!

Their eyes lit up and they were worried about not being able to enter the city!

So, when the man got in, they followed closely.

More and more people saw it and joined in.

After the horse returned to the mansion safely, he immediately sent people to capture the men who framed him.

But he had already dispatched all the guards in his mansion, and could only mobilize a team of soldiers and horses from the city.

The next day, the guards came back with information about the person behind his murder.

He was half leaning on the couch in the pavilion, frowning slightly.

They just wanted to take advantage of him being injured and alone before they dared to come out in full force.

As a result, everyone in the Zhang family was wiped out.

Thinking of the Zhang family, he remembered the dog hole he told them about.

If the enemy is allowed to sneak into the city through the cave, and then cooperate with the outside, the city will be in danger.

Although the Xilin people have been defeated steadily, who knows whether they will bypass the north and start directly from the south? !

It’s not like this has never happened before in history.

Thinking of this, he ordered people to seal all the dog holes, and then sent people to strengthen the city wall.

I originally wanted to leave a dog hole so that the poor children of the family could come in, but it seemed that my kindness was too kind and I didn't know when it would lead to disaster.

He squinted his eyes and slept soundly.

The people sent by Ma Yuan were one step behind the patrol soldiers.

When one after another refugees came in from the hole, they were discovered by the patrol soldiers.

At this time, the three members of the Xia family had already entered the bustling downtown.

Looking at the bowl of fragrant noodle soup, the three members of the Xia family swallowed hard.

Although it was summer, it had been a long time since they had eaten a bowl of hot, soupy food.

Usually they only grab sesame seed buns, steamed buns and the like, and run away after grabbing them. There are very few people who bring soup to eat, because everyone is seriously short of water, and there is no way to sell excess water.

Even if there is, they can't snatch it away, and they can't spill it while running away with it!

They stood in front of the noodle shop and stared at the noodles in the hands of the noodle shop master.

There was a group of people around, but few of them could afford to eat.

Because a bowl of noodles actually costs five taels of silver!

In the not-so-big noodle shop, there were several burly men standing in a row, looking around warily.

At this glance, you can tell that this noodle shop is really profitable, and there are people guarding it.

This is the only noodle shop still open in the city, and of course it can't compare with the wealthy restaurants.

The food sold in restaurants is more expensive, and only those with money go there.

And this small noodle shop is doing business for ordinary people.

Even though it is a thousand times more expensive than before the drought, there are still people who can afford it.

Mrs. Xia was extremely greedy, but she also knew that in such a situation, forceful robbery would not work.

We can only wait until night to see if we can sneak in.

They once did this at a house selling steamed buns, stealing a lot of steamed buns and a jug of water.

Relying on the steamed buns and water, they survived for several days.

In the middle of the night, the city fell into silence, with only the sound of the watchman beating the gong and "The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful of candles!"

And the footsteps of patrol soldiers occasionally appeared.

Mrs. Xia was responsible for keeping watch in the corner, while Mr. Xia and Mr. Xia broke into the noodle shop.

They walked into the kitchen one after another, and sure enough they saw a ball of noodles left on the chopping board and half a pot of soup left in the pot.

Xia Laoer picked up the wooden spoon with gleaming eyes, filled up a large spoonful of soup, and took a big gulp.

Boss Xia next to him put the dough in the cloth bag he brought.

After Xia Laoer finished drinking, he put down the wooden bucket he was carrying and filled it with soup.

At this time, a fiery red light suddenly appeared in the middle of the city, getting brighter and brighter.

Immediately afterwards, the originally silent Fucheng became noisy and cries could not be heard.

Xia Laoer and Xia Laozi looked panicked and wanted to leave in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Xia Laoer accidentally knocked over the pot lid in his panic.

"boom!"

The person who was about to be woken up by the crying outside suddenly woke up in shock when he suddenly heard the sound so close at hand.

They jumped up, grabbed the knives beside the bed, and rushed out.

Xia Lao Er and Xia Lao Da took the stolen things and were about to climb the wall.

But people came quickly, and when they saw the kitchen door wide open, they knew that a thief must be here to steal the pasta.

The knife with a cold light went towards Xia Lao Er and Xia Lao Er, scaring Xia Lao Er so much that he peed his pants.

Boss Xia was in a hurry. He picked up the pot and threw it at the person who came, and then climbed up the wall with a quick movement.

Xia Laoer also wanted to climb up the wall, but his legs were weak and trembling.

Seeing those people coming towards him again with their swords raised, he sat down on the ground.

Suddenly, the door was knocked down from outside.

Xia Laoer and the people in the noodle shop all looked over and saw a group of people wearing armor.

Everywhere they went, people fell.

Xia Laoer watched in horror as the man in the noodle shop fell. He suddenly gained strength, stood up in shock, and tried desperately to climb up the wall.

A hand happened to reach out from outside and pulled Xia Laoer up forcefully.

Xia Lao Er staggered down and jumped down. Before he could stand still, Xia Lao Er was dragged away by Xia Lao Er.

When he turned around, he saw those strange people chasing after them, which scared him so much that he ran as fast as he could.
