Continuously

When Li Sanniang and her two younger sisters were about to jump for joy, Mu Zhixu keenly sensed that something was wrong.

This Linzhou City was obviously different from what Li Sanniang had described and completely different from what she had inquired about before.

Now they were still some distance away from the city gate. Standing on tiptoes and looking in, they could see that the city gate was tightly closed and there were dense crowds surrounding the city gate.

The people surrounding the city gate look almost like the zombie siege in the movie at first glance.

Isn’t it said that Linzhou City is very large and has sufficient food to accommodate the refugees?

They walked slowly on the road, and Mu Zhixu thought that her family was one of the last batches of refugees.

But she turned around and saw that there were many refugees gathering here on the road behind them, in a steady stream.

There are many more refugees displaced by drought than she imagined.

Mu Zhixu thought about it and did not immediately lead Li Sanniang and others around him.

It's very late now.

The sun has set, the sky is getting dark soon, and it's time to close the city gates.

But when she looked at the dense crowd that was constantly pouring in, she always felt that something was wrong.

She did not dare to take Li Sanniang, Mu Zhilan and Mu Zhiliu to take risks, and finally decided to take a rest some distance away from the city gate.

"Zhixu, it's coming soon, why don't we go in?"

Li Sanniang asked this question, but her legs followed Mu Zhixu sincerely.

"Don't go in yet. It will be too late now. The city gate is closed. We will go there tomorrow."

Mu Zhixu shook his head, "You guys rest here for a while, I'll go to the front to check the situation first."

Li Sanniang originally wanted to go with Mu Zhixu, but she thought there were Mu Zhilan and Mu Zhiliu nearby. The two girls were still young, so she was worried about leaving them alone here.

"Then slow down and run back quickly if something goes wrong."

Mu Zhixu nodded, secretly pulled out the dagger with his hand covered by his sleeve and held it firmly.

With so many people around, it is obviously inconvenient to use sleeve arrows. At this time, the smart and convenient dagger comes in handy.

The further he walked inside, the more frightened Mu Zhixu felt. There were really too many people, and the densely packed heads of people were like ants gathering together.

The key is that she saw many people setting up simple tents at the city gate. It seemed that they had been at the city gate for a while.

I want to go forward, but I can't squeeze in.

Mu Zhixu looked left and right, planning to find someone to inquire about the situation. Most of the refugees nearby had sad and disheveled faces.

Looking left and right, Mu Zhixu's sharp eyes found the old woman she met before among the dense crowd. It was this old woman who told her the route to Linzhou City.

At the same time, her heart sank more and more. This old woman had left with her family for so many days before her, and she was still waiting at the door without going in.

I guess something must have happened.

"Auntie, do you still remember me?"

Mu Zhixu tentatively walked in front of the old lady.

The old lady looked at Mu Zhixu carefully for a while, and then she suddenly realized, "It's you, little girl, do you feel it too?"

A friendly smile quickly appeared on Mu Zhixu's face, "Yes, it was a coincidence. I met you again just as I arrived. Thank you very much for the route you told me, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find the place.

"

"I wasn't of much help either."

The old woman waved her hands.

"You have helped us a lot." Mu Zhixu was full of gratitude, with a strange expression on his face.
