Traveling through the years of disaster, I took Lingquan Space to escape the famine
Chapter 51 Don’t blame the spear in my hand for not having eyes
Not long after, the villagers came over with their belongings. After registering them, they put them away and took them to the city to sell at dawn tomorrow.
"Boy from the Ji family, girl Jiuyue. All these things are ready, that's all."
They all say that if you have food in your hands, you won’t panic in your heart. The village chief saw that most of the things he had accumulated in the mountains in the past few days were gone at once, and he began to panic again.
"Village chief, we can still look for wild vegetables and other things when the time comes, don't worry."
The village chief sighed.
"That's all it can do."
Salt is also a necessity, and you can’t live without it. Villagers can dig wild vegetables, but cannot make salt.
It would also be a good idea to use current supplies to exchange for salt that you don’t know how to make.
After explaining everything to the village chief, Lin Jiuyue and Gu Chengyan went to the city gate together.
There were a large number of refugees gathered at the city gate, waiting to see if any kind-hearted master would come to the city gate to give porridge.
There are also some people who want to take a shortcut through the city.
However, there were many soldiers guarding the city gate, and they were all wearing weapons. The refugees did not dare to cause trouble and could only gather not far from the city gate to look for opportunities.
As soon as the two people reached the city gate, before they could step forward, they saw someone trying to go to the city, but they were stopped by the guarding soldiers.
"What are you doing? No refugees are allowed in the city. Move back. If you don't push back, don't blame the spear in my hand for not having eyes!"
People who wanted to enter the city quietly stuffed something unknown into the soldiers. Then he said something with a smile.
Gu Chengyan was far away and didn't hear it, but Lin Jiuyue heard it.
"Master, look, we fled all the way to Qiyang County. We want to go into the city to buy some things. Just let us go into the city and we promise not to cause trouble."
I don't know if it was because he received a favor or something, but the guarding soldier's tone became a little better.
"There is an order from above that refugees who are fleeing are not allowed to enter the city. So as not to disturb the residents of the city. Leave quickly."
The face of the person who gave the benefit looked a little ugly.
The guarding soldiers received the benefits but were inconvenienced. At first glance, they look like corrupt officials!
However, since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. Even so. You can only admit that you are unlucky.
Lin Jiuyue frowned. Pull Gu Chengyan and leave.
"What's wrong? You don't want to go to the city? Then wait here and I'll go find out."
Lin Jiuyue pointed to the refugee who had just been kicked out.
"Don't go. Didn't you see that the person just now couldn't get in?"
Gu Chengyan naturally saw it, but he still wanted to go up and try his luck.
Lin Jiuyue grabbed Gu Chengyan.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll give it a try. Maybe I can enter the city?"
Lin Jiuyue looked Gu Chengyan up and down.
"What? You don't want to use your identity in the capital to get in, do you?"
Gu Chengyan was told by Lin Jiuyue what he was thinking.
"I advise you to give up. This is just a county town. The soldiers guarding the city gate are just insignificant minions. They don't recognize your objects that symbolize your identity."
"If we rush forward rashly and show our faces in front of them, it will be even more difficult for us to enter the city later."
Gu Chengyan frowned.
"What you said makes sense, but we don't have a better way now. We can only try it. If it doesn't work, we'll say no."
Lin Jiuyue smiled mysteriously at Gu Chengyan.
"I have a solution."
Gu Chengyan looked at Lin Jiuyue doubtfully.
"any solution?"
Lin Jiuyue thought about how he followed the old man into the city before, and decided to use the same method this time.
"follow me."
Although Gu Chengyan was curious, he didn't ask any more questions and just followed Lin Jiuyue obediently.
Not long after, Lin Jiuyue came to a small road and looked around.
"What are you looking for?"
Lin Jiuyue didn't hide anything, and told him the method he used to follow the old vegetable seller into the city.
After listening to this, Gu Chengyan immediately felt that this method was feasible.
"We can try it first. If we can follow the local villagers into the city, it will not attract attention and save trouble. If you still can't get in, you can try using your token."
Gu Chengyan said ‘hmm’.
"Row."
Not long after, the two of them saw a woman carrying a basket of eggs, preparing to sell them in the city.
Lin Jiuyue suddenly realized that an opportunity had come and went forward to talk to the woman. The woman agreed without thinking.
"Okay, then you follow me, and you will have to pay for the copper coins to enter the city. But as agreed, the ten copper coins are the cost for you to guide me. If you don't give it to me after entering the city, I will He’s not someone to be bullied either.”
Lin Jiuyue patted her chest and promised.
"Auntie, don't worry. We used to be honest farmers. If it weren't for the drought in our hometown, we would be like you now. We can occasionally go to the city to sell some things in exchange for copper coins or something."
Speaking of this, Lin Jiuyue pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears, looking pitiful.
"It won't be a long journey, and you can't even get into the city."
Seeing how pitiful Lin Jiuyue said it, and thinking about the many refugees she had seen along the way, the woman felt a sense of sympathy in her heart.
"Well, as the saying goes, people harm others, but they can't harm others. God harms people, and not even a blade of grass can grow. You are also pitiful, and this happened to you."
"Auntie's family is also in trouble. I can't help you with anything, so I won't take the ten coins. I'll treat it as a good thing today. Let's go to the city with auntie."
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, a smile instantly appeared on his face.
"Auntie, you are such a kind person. Good people must be rewarded with good things. Don't worry, although we are in difficulty, we can keep our word. We can't refuse to give you those ten copper coins no matter what."
When the aunt heard that Lin Jiuyue and the others were in such difficulty, she actually wanted to give herself a copper coin. Although she didn't really want it, she was still happy.
"Haha, you kid, why are you so polite? Let's go."
Lin Jiuyue and Gu Chengyan had tidied up before coming. Although they didn't look very glamorous, they were still better than other refugees.
At first glance, no one could tell that he was a nearby villager.
"Hey, thank you, ma'am."
Lin Jiuyue followed the aunt happily, while Gu Cheng pushed the cart. The cart was filled with things belonging to various villagers, ready to be exchanged for copper coins.
After a while, Lin Jiuyue and the two followed their aunt to the city gate.
The two stood behind the aunt without saying anything, just waiting for the aunt to talk to the guarding soldiers.
"What's on the cart?"
The soldier's eyes fell on the cart that Gu Chengyan was pushing, and he stretched out his hand to lift the oilcloth on the cart.
