The guards heard Lin Jiuyue say that someone in his family would celebrate his sixtieth birthday tomorrow, and there was a scholar in the car. In addition, these people were generous, giving them one tael of silver each, so they didn't embarrass Lin Jiuyue and the others at the moment.

"In that case, you should go back quickly. There have been refugees coming recently, and it's getting a little dark today, so be careful."

Lin Jiuyue nodded in agreement. The truth is, no matter what time, money is always good.

"Hey, it's saved. Thanks for reminding me, brother."

Quickly leaving the city gate, Lin Jiuyue found an opportunity to feed the horse some spiritual spring water.

"Gu Chengyan, let's leave quickly."

Gu Chengyan nodded and jumped on the carriage, followed by Lin Jiuyue and Lin Qiye. The three of them drove away quickly in the carriage.

Not long after the three of them left the city gate, a large number of refugees appeared at the city gate.

"Father, mother, the city gate is closed."

A woman with a dusty face and messy hair said.

"Is there anyone left alive? We hurriedly and slowly arrived here. We thought we could go into the city to buy some supplies, but when we got here, the city gate was closed again."

The woman sat down on the ground and said mournfully.

While talking, she slapped her thighs, looking like a rural shrew.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Get up! There are so many people here. You don't think it's embarrassing, but I do!"

The man glanced at the mischievous woman sitting on the ground with disgust.

"Don't forget, we are not in the village now, we are fleeing! It will be troublesome if we are targeted by others, so restrain yourself!"

After hearing this, the woman wiped her tears and stood up.

"Do you think I want to act like a shrew? I just feel like my life is going nowhere. If you hadn't been hopeless, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

After hearing this, the man became angry.

A slap on the woman's face.

"What's the matter? Now you're starting to blame me for being useless? If you were promising, why didn't you fail to protect the food? Now you're blaming me?"

Brother and sister Lin Jinlian had a headache when they saw their parents arguing.

"Dad, Mom, didn't you agree not to mention this matter in the future? Why are you bringing it up again now?"

Lin Jinlian had a headache and rubbed her temples.

When the village chief and others took the mountain road, my family did not choose to walk the mountain road with the village chief, but took the official road.

I thought it would be safer to take the official road, but who knew that the official road was not safe either.

Although the food from home was not enough to last to the outskirts of Beijing, if you save a little, it won't be much different.

Who would have known that those refugees were being targeted on the road, and those refugees who had no food had all their food robbed.

If it weren't for the two of them hiding a little money in their underwear. I exchanged food along the way and managed to get here.

I thought that when I got here, I could go into the city to buy some food, but who knew that the city gate was closed.

It really happened that the house was leaking and it rained all night! Unlucky things happen one after another!

Lin Dongming and Liu Xiaohua now dislike each other. I always felt that the other party failed to protect the food, so it was snatched away.

They completely forgot that when the food was being robbed, both of them were afraid that they would be injured and lose their lives, so they hid faster than the other.

"If you don't mention it, we don't have a grain of food with us now! How are we going to live like this?"

Liu Xiaohua said while wiping away tears.

"How are we going to live? How can we live? We are not the only ones without food. Let's hold on and see if any rich people in the city will come out to give porridge tomorrow. There are so many refugees. It's impossible for the government to do nothing, right? ?”

The reason why Lin Dongming and his family were rushing so hard was to get ahead of other refugees. If he could enter the city, he would go to the city to buy some food. If he couldn't enter the city, he would see if anyone came out to make porridge and gain fame. .

I arrived early and was at the front of the queue, which gave me an advantage whether I was going into town to buy groceries or queuing up to get porridge.

"Sigh, I don't know where the village chief and his friends are now walking on the mountain road. If we had known that it was so unsafe to take the official road, we should have followed the village chief and the others on the mountain road."

Lin Jinlian looked at the mountains outside the city and couldn't help but sigh.

"What's the use of talking about this now? If you have that energy, you might as well save it for grabbing porridge tomorrow."

Lin Jinshan smacked his lips. He lay down directly on the ground.

Since the food was robbed, I haven't had enough to eat for a long time.

If he hadn't eaten some leaves and bark to cushion his stomach along the way, he would probably be a dead body now.

"Master, it rained a few days ago. Do you think those people in our village will go back?"

When it rains, it means that the land can be planted, and if the land can be cultivated, it means that there is food to eat. Anyway, my family has a house and land in the village, which is much better than running away.

"It's so easy to say. Look at the refugees who fled with us. How many of them have gone back? As long as the court doesn't issue an order for us to go back, we can't go back."

"Isn't it okay to go back secretly?"

On the way to escape the famine, Liu Xiaohua saw too many people starving to death because they had no food to eat.

It's still about ten days' journey from the outskirts of Beijing. Liu Xiaohua was really afraid that she would starve to death on the road.

Lin Dongming sighed.

"I want to, but here is only more than ten days' walk from the outskirts of Beijing. If we go back, we have to walk for about twenty days. Besides, there are refugees fleeing famine like us along the way, so we don't want to go back even if we want to. It’s easy.”

"If you go forward, if you go fast, you might be able to find some wild vegetables to cushion your stomach. If you go back, there will be nothing."

It had rained two days ago, but it was impossible for wild vegetables to grow in such a short period of time.

Rather than taking such a big risk to return, it would be better to go to the outskirts of Beijing with the large army fleeing famine.

At least they went to the outskirts of Beijing. With so many refugees, it was impossible for the court to ignore them.

Liu Xiaohua didn't think much about it. She just thought that if she could return to the village, she would have land for her family.

"Don't go back! What's so good about our village? It's so far away from the capital! Now that I finally have the chance to go to the capital, I don't want to go back."

Lin Jinlian had her own little plan in mind.

In the past, it was fine in the village and I couldn't meet rich people, but now aren't I running away from home? The people in Lijiacun happened to be assigned to the suburbs of Beijing, which was the closest to the capital. The opportunity to meet rich people was right in front of them, so I had to go and have a look.

"Father, mother, think about it, if we go to the suburbs of Beijing, maybe your daughter and I can find a rich man? If I marry a rich man by then, our family will be like those ordinary mud-legged people. It’s different.”

Lin Jinlian was talking as if she had seen herself marrying a rich man, her face full of yearning.
