There were many old people and children in their group, and they kept stopping and starting along the way, so they couldn't go faster even if they wanted to.

At night, you have to find a place to spend the night. You can't just rush on the road blindly. After you find a place to spend the night in the afternoon, you can't rush on the road anymore. You have to prepare things for everyone to spend the night.

I brought all the firewood I had stockpiled with me, as I needed to light a fire along the way. The firewood I picked up on rainy days was wet, and it was very difficult to burn it directly.

But you can't just keep consuming without giving out. You still have to pick up some firewood at night to have enough firewood to use.

This drizzle is really annoying. After walking for a whole day, my hat cannot be completely wet.

But it seemed that it had no intention of stopping. It quietly set up a silk net, covering people in a hazy and damp atmosphere.

When they rested at night, they used more firewood and their shoes and pants had to be dried.

Liu Caixia also asked everyone to take turns soaking their feet in hot water and drinking some brown sugar ginger water to warm their bodies and get rid of the cold.

Therefore, firewood is the most consumed and is also a basic need.

You have to stock up a little more every day.

The group stayed in small caves on the way. When there were no caves, they would find a place with many big rocks behind and rocks under their feet to set up a tent to spend the night.

The environment can be said to be quite harsh. Most of the time, we can only sleep for one or two hours. Not to mention the children, even the adults are exhausted.

The younger children were mostly carried on the adults' backs as they journeyed, and Luo Junning even caught a cold on the way.

Fortunately, they all had children's cold medicine on hand, and after taking it twice, the fever went away.

The little guy looked listless, so Luo Hong held him in his arms the whole time.

It was not until they reached the official road from the mountains that the mule cart was reassembled and the journey became faster.

It was drizzling, and occasionally you could meet some pedestrians on the road!

In this way, it took the group six full days to reach the county town.

The moment we arrived at the county town, everyone's face was filled with indescribable joy and relief.

When entering the city, Lin Weizhong found that there were more soldiers guarding the city. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but it felt like there were more people entering the city.

“It feels like there are more soldiers guarding the city than before I left!”

"Yes, although it is drizzling, there are still pedestrians along the road who are rushing on the road like us, which proves that there are still many people who want to go into the city, and the weather is getting colder."

"Let's go into the city quickly. We are really exhausted on the journey. Let's have a good rest when we get home."

Lin Weizhong took out his travel permit and prepared one or two taels of silver. The entrance fee to the city was not high and their group did not need so much.

But when the tael of silver reached the hands of the inspecting officials, the officials felt the small change under the pass and their attitude towards them immediately improved.

The officer quietly looked at the pass with one hand and put the silver into his collar without leaving any trace with the other hand.

"go in!"

After a casual glance, he let them into the city. Lin Weizhong was also afraid that the three new arrivals were illegal residents like them, without household registration or travel permits, and it would be difficult to explain at the moment.

I gave them so much silver because I wanted to take them into the city first, and then go to the county government to get them a pass.

I don't know if the county magistrate in this government office is easy to talk to. After all, to apply for a travel permit, you need to go to your registered place of residence and you need a household registration certificate.

The conditions were relaxed a lot before during the escape. If it was really difficult, you would have to spend more money. In this dynasty, having money should make things easier.

The prosperity of the county town formed a sharp contrast with its previous hardships. Shops were lined on both sides of the street, and the cries of vendors were heard one after another, making the town very lively.

Although the rain was still falling lightly, it added a hazy beauty to the city. The air was filled with the unique freshness after the rain and the fragrance of the earth.

I don’t know if everyone has become accustomed to this kind of drizzle, but there are more pedestrians on the road and some small vendors selling vegetables.

I guess the villagers turned the soil and planted the vegetables in the rain. Some vegetables will not be affected by rainy days.

In addition, there was a drizzle afterwards, which did not wash away the seedlings. The soil absorbed enough water, and the grown vegetables looked green and lush, with water droplets on the clean leaves.

They followed the mule cart. The group was not small, but the pedestrians on the road did not pay too much attention to them. Instead, they were doing their own things.

After entering the city, Lin Weizhong took them straight to the rented small courtyard without stopping for long along the way. Anyway, they had an uncertain time staying here, so they could come out later when they had time.

After walking for another half an hour, the mule stopped in front of a small courtyard. Lin Weizhong ran over and knocked on the door.

Father Liu heard a knock on the door and immediately walked towards the door, asking:

"Who are you looking for?"

"Uncle Liu!"

When Father Liu heard the voice, he quickened his pace and walked to the door and opened it:

"Here I am, finally here. Come in, come in and talk!"

His voice was trembling with excitement. It had been more than nine days since Lin Weizhong left. He was extremely worried every day, fearing that something unexpected would happen on the road.

"it is good."

Liu Xiaolu brought Liu Xiaomei and other children. They were very happy to see Liu's father. After entering the door, they followed Lin Keyu into the house to talk.

"father!"

"Grandpa!"

“Grandpa Liu!”

Liu Caixia and Liu Caiyun were also very happy. They were also worried because Liu's father was not around. After all, Liu's father was not young anymore, and they would always worry if he was alone outside.

"Well, well, we are finally reunited! Come in quickly, tie the mule to the door, put the backpack and other things in the kitchen, and everyone else go into the main room and talk first."

Father Liu arranged things in an orderly manner. When he saw three more strangers in the team, he didn't say much at the door. He immediately closed the door and bolted it after everyone entered the yard.

Mrs. Zhao tied the mule cart to the pillar in the corridor at the entrance, while Mrs. Tan and the other adults put the backpacks one by one in the kitchen near the door.

Everyone followed Liu's father and walked along the corridor into the main house.

After entering the house, Liu Caixia introduced the three newcomers to Liu's father. Liu's father was very happy and said a few simple words without saying much.

At this moment, the main room was full of people. Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Zhao were also standing at the door, as if waiting for work arrangements.

"I'll arrange rooms and other things for everyone first, we'll talk about other things later!"

"it is good!"

Liu Caixia knew what her father meant. There were many people talking, and there were so many young children, so they should settle them down first. If there was anything, they could discuss it quietly in private.

In the main room there is a square table, four benches and a few small stools.

These were all tinkered with by Liu's father when he had nothing to do these days. After all, there are many people in their family and there is almost no furniture in the house.

Just make do with this for now!
