Seeing her like this, Ye Chuqiu felt funny in her heart. She walked to her sons and planned to give them a warning before going into the city.
She had to go to the city to replenish some food and stock up on some supplies.
"Dahu, take your wife and younger brothers and sisters with you, and be more careful and don't fight with others. Our safety comes first. If anything happens, wait until mother comes back." Ye Chuqiu warned.
"I understand, I will take good care of my brothers and sisters, mother, don't worry." Lin Dahu nodded and said.
Since his father joined the army, he has helped Ye Chuqiu take care of his younger brothers and sisters since he was a child. He can do these things better without Ye Chuqiu's instructions.
"Good son."
Hearing his words, Ye Chuqiu patted his shoulder. If she didn't have many secrets and needed to fool a few children, she would have wanted to take them into the city together.
"Mom, can you take me into the city?" Lin Sihu on the side said: "Take me and my sister into the city. My sister and I are so cute, we will definitely be able to help you beg for a lot of things."
"Sihu, do you think that all the food your mother gave you was begged for?"
"I didn't ask for it. Where did you get it from?" Lin Sihu asked, tilting his head.
"I won't tell you, but I didn't ask for it anyway. Mom told you that there are good people in this world, but there are not that many good people. There are more ordinary people like us who are neither good nor bad, and some bad people."
Ye Chuqiu taught: "In case my mother is no longer with you, you should be more careful with people. No matter who you see, you will think that they are good people."
"Mom, I understand." Lin Sihu nodded, "Mom, can you take my sister and me into the city? I also want to go into the city to have a look, and I promise not to cause any trouble to you."
"You stay here obediently. What do you want to eat? Can mom buy it for you?" Ye Chuqiu said.
"Mother..." Lin Sihu flattened his mouth, a little disappointed.
Ye Chuqiu looked at his tiger-like appearance and reached out to touch his head. His hair had just grown out and was a little prickly. But Ye Chuqiu particularly liked this prickly feeling and rubbed his head with his hands.
Go.
"Okay, let's stay in the city for two more days. Mom, go in and change some things first. How about we take you into the city tomorrow?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
She thought about going to the pawn shop today to sell a glass bead, then purchase all the items, and then take them to play with them tomorrow.
Even if this place is good, they can stay here and rest for a while.
After walking for so long, she was exhausted both physically and mentally.
What inspires her is the spirit of the revolutionary sages who marched thousands of miles in her previous life.
Bitter or not, the long march of thousands of miles is twenty-five thousand.
No matter how tired she is now, she still hasn't walked as far as twenty-five thousand miles.
"Really, Mom?" Lin Sihu was very happy when he heard this, and Lin Sanhu also said from the side: "Mom, will you take me with you then?"
"Yes, everyone will go."
Seeing the children looking so happy, the corners of Ye Chuqiu's mouth turned up slightly.
Lin Dahu glanced at Zhao Hehua, and the couple's eyes were also full of joy.
"Qiao'er, we can go to the city tomorrow, and I'll buy you delicious food in the city then." Zhao Hehua stretched out her hand to tease Qiao'er, who also made Qiao'er giggle.
Now that she has drunk milk powder and is well-nourished, her overall complexion is much better than before. She is no longer the small lump she was before, and even her cries sound like a cat meowing.
Now she occasionally calls out "Aba, Aba, Aba," and Zhao Hehua is teaching her to call her grandma. I think she will be able to say hello to Ye Chuqiu soon.
"Everyone, please line up quickly. The porridge team will be here soon."
Over there, I don't know if he was an official or a steward of a wealthy family, riding on a donkey, shouting loudly, and soon he went to the city.
Then, everyone saw that the city gate was closed and the officials were gone.
"Why was the city gate suddenly closed?"
When Ye Chuqiu saw this scene, she felt a little puzzled. She was planning to go to the city to buy things.
"Maybe it's to better serve porridge."
Lin Dahu answered, and sure enough, the refugees queuing in front also heard the steward's voice, saying that while they were waiting in line, the officials had to maintain order and did not have time to guard the city gate, so they closed it first.
However, Ye Chuqiu instinctively felt that something was wrong. If the city gate was closed, why would all the stewards and official officials from big families enter the city?
Just when everyone was puzzled, a burst of sand and dust suddenly rose in the distance.
"The rebels are coming!"
"The thieves are coming!"
Someone shouted not far away, and a group of refugees quickly ran towards us.
Ye Chuqiu also felt a chill in her heart. Thinking of Nanyang City's actions of closing the city gate, she felt like "drawing out the cold".
"Mom, let's run quickly."
When Ye Chuqiu was in a daze, Lin Dahu reacted quickly and quickly carried her to the oxcart. He held the four tigers in one hand and the five phoenixes in the other. He put them on the oxcart and called to the two tigers and three tigers.
Zhao Hehua took the cow and ran forward in a hurry.
"Niang Xipi's, Niang Xipi's!"
Ye Chuqiu cursed angrily, "There must be someone in the city who is involved with these rebels. They are talking about giving porridge, and they want to kill us all!"
"Made, refugees really don't have human rights. Doesn't the life of a refugee mean life?"
Ye Chuqiu kept scolding, but no one could hear her anger. She opened her mouth to speak, but no one paid any attention to her except for filling her mouth with sand.
There was a lot of chaos at the city gate. Ye Chuqiu and the others were behind, and there were people in front of them. There was nowhere to run. She saw someone fall down, and then the people behind him stepped on him.
I also saw the rebels, armed with machetes, harvesting the lives of the refugees behind them.
They were armed with broadswords and riding on horseback, and they were so menacing that the weak refugees simply could not resist them.
But at this moment, on the city wall, a man who looked like a scribe, holding a feather fan in his hand, was looking at this scene calmly.
"The prefect was worried that the refugees would not be able to settle down and cause trouble, so I finally mobilized the rich households in the city to donate money to provide porridge and settle the refugees. But I didn't expect that the bandits outside the city were causing trouble and killed so many refugees. The bandits were so ferocious!"
"Yes, the thieves deserve to be killed. I will inform the prefect later and ask him to send troops to suppress these bandits!" Next to the scribe, a civil servant wearing a blue official uniform also said angrily.
"It's so dangerous outside Nanyang City. After this experience, these refugees will not dare to stay any longer."
"Yeah, it's such a pity."
The scribes and civil servants responded and drank. On the surface, they looked compassionate, but their eyes were cold.
Huh, these refugees are gathering outside the city. This is the source of the unrest in the city. In order to appease them, food has to be wasted. If they are not settled well, if there is a mutiny and the imperial envoy sent by the emperor sees it, they will definitely have to eat.
Hang up.
But now, they have sent out soldiers, disguised as bandits, to kill some of them, and the rest must not dare to stay in Nanyang City.
In this way, they don't have to think about how to settle these refugees, and they can also save the money donated by the wealthy households in the city. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
After a while, in the name of killing bandits, he killed some of the refugees who had not escaped. Not only did he clear up the chaos, but he also saved food, and he also got the credit for killing the bandits. It was like killing three birds with one stone!
