Two days later, Daohua and his party entered the boundaries of Zhongzhou Prefecture.

Daohua originally thought that the road would be smoother after entering Zhongzhou Prefecture, but she did not expect that there were more and more refugees on the road.

"Why are there more and more refugees?"

Xiao Yeyang snorted coldly: "Why else? It must be because the officials here have not done anything, and the corpses are left alone."

Daohua glanced at him but said nothing, still quite agreeing with what he said.

The common people suffer because of the inaction of officials.

However, Yan Wentao was unhappy: "You can't kill everyone with one shot. It's good to have many officials."

Mrs. Yan also nodded: "That's right, Mr. Yang, you haven't done any on-the-spot investigation, so it's better not to talk nonsense."

Daohua knew that her grandmother and third brother were speaking for her father, the seventh-rank county magistrate, so she thought for a moment and changed her words: "Brother Xiaoliu came over and told me earlier that the escort agency would separate from us when they entered the city.

”

Mrs. Yan frowned: "There is still a long distance from Zhongzhou Prefecture to Linyi County..." They are old and young, so it would be uneasy to go alone.

Daohua was also a little worried about the safety on the road, so she said: "Grandma, otherwise, after we enter Fucheng, we will not leave yet. We will write a letter to Linyi County and ask my father to send someone to pick us up."

Along the way, they had seen and heard of refugees robbing and even killing people. For the sake of safety, it was better to be cautious.

Mrs. Yan nodded: "This is a good idea, let's do it."

Daohua turned to look at Xiao Yeyang and Zhao Ergou again: "We are about to arrive in Fucheng. What are your plans?"

Hearing this, both of them pursed their lips in silence.

Xiao Yeyang has a way. He can go directly to the government office. If the people in the government office know his identity, they will definitely send him back to the capital respectfully.

But if he does this, he will no longer be able to hide the fact that he was abducted by human traffickers. If those people in the capital find out, he will be embarrassed.

Zhao Ergou, on the other hand, simply didn't know what to do. He was sold by his family, and even if he got him back, he would still be sent to be a child adopter.

Seeing them like this, Mrs. Yan felt soft in her heart and sighed: "Let's go to the city first, and we will think of a solution after entering the city."

Grandma had spoken, but Daohua didn't ask any more questions.

Near noon, Qin Xiaoliu from the escort agency suddenly arrived in front of the Daohua family's carriage in a hurry.

"Brother Xiaoliu, why are you here? Are you going to Fucheng?" Daohua asked with a smile.

Mrs. Yan prepared a lot of food when she left home this time, and she sent it to the escort agency frequently during this time. After going back and forth, they quickly became familiar with Qin Xiaoliu.

Qin Xiaoliu shook his head and looked a little solemn: "I'm afraid I won't be able to enter Fucheng today."

Daohua was shocked: "What happened again?"

Qin Xiaoliu told the news that the escort agency had learned: "Last year, several provinces in the north suffered from severe drought. The Zhongzhou capital is close to the Grand Canal, and the drought was not serious. This resulted in a large number of refugees heading here.

The edge rushed over."

"When there are too many refugees, trouble will inevitably happen. No, the only place that leads to the city has been occupied by a group of refugees in the past two days. The government is trying to find a solution, but I don't know when it will be resolved."

Mrs. Yan felt anxious and slapped her thigh fiercely: "What is this!"

Daohua held Old Mrs. Yan's arm and comforted her while looking at Qin Xiaoliu: "Brother Xiaoliu, what are your escort agencies going to do?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Yan and others all looked at Qin Xiaoliu.

Qin Xiaoliu looked a little apologetic: "We have a time limit for sending escorts. Fifth brother said that we should take a detour into Fucheng because we have to walk a long mountain road, so we might not be able to... we can't continue to take him with us.

You guys."

Qin Wu's original words were: They are old and young, and their steps are too slow. The mountain road is difficult to walk. If you take them with you, you may not be able to deliver the goods within the specified time. If you encounter any accidents on the road

, and allocating manpower to protect them will greatly increase everyone’s burden.

Hearing this, the eyes of Mrs. Yan and Uncle Sun suddenly darkened.

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang also lowered their heads.

Yan Wentao and Zhao Ergou looked at each other.

Everyone was in a heavy mood. Without the escort to protect them, they were on their way alone, fearing that they would be robbed before they could go far.

Losing money is still a good thing, but if you meet a cruel person, you may lose your life.

Seeing them like this, the apology on Qin Xiaoliu's face became deeper and deeper: "Old lady, I'm sorry."

Mrs. Yan forced a smile and said, "There's no need to say sorry. I'm very grateful to you for taking us all this way. The delivery service of the escort agency is for you to eat, so you can't delay it. You should do this."

As he said that, he glanced at Sun Ma.

After receiving the signal, Sun Ma immediately took out a pack of dried meat from the carriage.

Mrs. Yan handed the dried meat to Qin Xiaoliu: "My thoughts, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Qin Xiaoliu waved his hands repeatedly, feeling increasingly uncomfortable: "No, no, no, we usually eat enough."

Mrs. Yan pretended to be dissatisfied: "Why, do you dislike what the old lady gave you?" After saying that, she directly stuffed the dried meat into Qin Xiaoliu's hands.

Taking the dried meat, Qin Xiaoliu turned around and left.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Yan slapped her thigh hard: "It's all my fault as an old woman. What can I do if I have nothing to do? I have to go on the road alone. Now I'm fine. I'm blocked on the road."

"Grandma, what are you doing!" Daohua and Yan Wentao rushed over at the same time, holding the old lady's hands one on the left and the other on the right.

Mrs. Yan looked at her granddaughter and grandson with a look of remorse: "If grandma hadn't insisted on leaving your third uncle separately, how could something like this happen now?"

Daohua pulled the old lady: "Grandma, if you want to blame me, blame me. If you didn't want us to gain more knowledge, why would you have to endure this hardship?"

Yan Wentao didn't know what to say, so he could only nod: "That's right."

Mrs. Yan sighed: "What should we do now?"

Daohua frowned and looked around. At this moment, the people from the escort agency were still packing their things and hadn't left yet. The refugees nearby didn't dare to come over. But as soon as the people from the escort agency left, they didn't know what was waiting for them.

After thinking about it, Daohua quickly jumped out of the carriage: "Grandma, please wait for me." After saying that, she ran towards Qin Xiaoliu.

"Brother Xiao Liu!"

Seeing Daohua coming over, Qin Xiaoliu immediately put down what he was holding: "Daohua, what's going on?"

Daohua pulled Qin Xiaoliu and whispered: "Brother Xiaoliu, can you help us get some sets of clothes for refugees?"

Qin Xiaoliu glanced at Qin Wu, who was looking at them at the moment.

Daohua knew that the person in charge of the escort agency was Qin Wu, so she immediately took out a bottle of hemostatic medicine: "I'll pay you."

Qin Wu glanced at Dao Hua: "Take it back, it's just a few clothes, Xiao Liu will send them to you later."

Hearing this, Daohua looked happy: "Thank you, Uncle Qin." With that, he put the hemostatic medicine into Qin Xiaoliu's hand and ran away.

Qin Xiaoliu took the hemostatic medicine and looked at Qin Wu: "Fifth brother, what should I do?"

Qin Wu glared at him: "Hurry up and get some clothes. Remember, it's best if they're dirty and torn, so that others won't take them even if they want to snatch them."

"Oh!"

Qin Xiaoliu ran away, Qin Wu frowned, touched his face, and muttered: "Xiaoliu is the elder brother, how come I am now the fifth uncle of Qin?" He was directly promoted to a senior level.Chapter completed!
