Chengchun looked at the guard and said helplessly: "I set off very early, but I was delayed until now by stopping and stopping along the way!"
The guard returned Chengchun and Hongdou's fish tags to her, and then said earnestly: "It's fine in the city, but as soon as you leave the city, there will be a lot of refugees. You want to go to Hangzhou, which is the last town you pass through.
I suggest you stay here for a while, it’s very chaotic outside!"
"Every town has such strict inspections, how did the refugees get in?" Chengchun was a little surprised. After all, they had to check the fish tags when they came to every town. Under such circumstances, how did the refugees get in?
Have to go?
"There is always a way to go over mountains and ridges!" The guard shook his head helplessly. The guard pointed at Shopkeeper Ma and said, "Go in, but this guy can't get in!"
Chengchun was a little embarrassed: "But our bullock cart was rented from him, and he can't get in, so how can we leave?"
"Then I have nothing to do with it. His fish tag doesn't belong to Hangzhou, so he can't go!" the guard said seriously.
Shopkeeper Ma looked at Cheng Chun and raised his eyebrows helplessly: "As you can see, it's not that I don't care about you, it's that I can't get in, but it won't take long to get to Hangzhou from here. Even if you have to walk, it won't be long."
It only takes three or four hours to arrive!"
Although Chengchun was helpless, he really had no other option at the moment, so he paid off the fare, and then he and Hongdou entered the city carrying their own baggage.
Perhaps because it is close to Hangzhou, it is already very prosperous and lively. Chengchun looked at the noise inside, and then looked at the refugees sitting outside the city, and felt a little emotional for a moment: "I think this is what the book says.
As you can tell, the Zhumen’s bones will freeze to death if they drink and eat meat and wine!”
"Girl!" Hongdou looked at Chengchun, "Should we stay here for a while? I'm also a little worried about running into trouble on the way back. After all, the world is really not peaceful now!"
Cheng Chun nodded: "I think so too. Let's find a place to stay for a while. When the disaster relief from the court arrives, it won't be so chaotic. By then, let's go back!"
The two people carried their luggage and went to find an inn to stay, but found that there were no vacancies in the inns throughout the town.
"We are very close to Hangzhou. Many merchants come here to do business, but when they encounter disasters, they all live here. There should be no vacancies in the whole town!" The shopkeeper looked at the people in front of him.
The two young girls said with some embarrassment.
Chengchun and Hongdou were a little helpless: "Are all the worse rooms available?"
"No, it's a mess outside now. Thank God for being able to come into the city. No matter how bad the rooms are, there are no rooms left!" The shopkeeper looked at Cheng Chun and said, "Girl, why don't you go check out the private houses outside?
, maybe someone is looking for rent, but the place to live is a little worse!"
Chengchun hesitated for a while, thanked the shopkeeper and left.
The two people walked out of the inn and stood there with blank faces. After a long time, Hongdou couldn't help but ask: "Girl, what should we do next?"
Chengchun was silent for a long time, and then said: "Go back to Hangzhou!"
"ah?"
"It's only three or four hours' journey, it won't be so unlucky!" Cheng Chun took a deep breath and encouraged himself.
Although Hongdou felt that this was very dangerous, she really had no better way at the moment, so she had no choice but to follow Chengchun back.
Before going back, Cheng Chun found a refugee who had sneaked into the city at an unknown time, and replaced her worn-out clothes with his old clothes. Then he found a shop and sewed all the soft clothes into the lining of the clothes.
Inside, when leaving the city gate, he wiped a little ashes on his face, then gritted his teeth and walked out of the city gate.
They didn't dare to rest for three or four hours. Even if it rained on the way, they didn't dare to take shelter from the rain. They kept walking in the rain. When they arrived at Hangzhou, almost at the gate of the city, the two of them became weak.
He sat directly at the gate of the city.
The guard saw the two of them in a state of embarrassment and was about to chase them away as they spoke. Hongdou hurriedly took out the fish tags from his body that could prove his identity: "We, we are from the city of Hangzhou, we just came back from the capital!"
The guard looked at the fish tag dubiously. After confirming that the fish tag was authentic, he couldn't help but ask: "You two little girls are so brave. You dare to walk around outside at this time!"
"We set off right after the Chinese New Year, and we stopped and stopped on the way until now. I didn't expect something would happen!" Hong Dou said with heavy breaths.
"Hey, these two girls actually have Hangzhou fish licenses. I should have snatched them away just now!"
"Who would have thought that, looking at the two of them dressed in such shabby clothes, who would have thought that they are not refugees!"
"We should catch the people searching for us. People from Hangzhou might have a lot of valuable things on them!"
Some refugees squatting in the corner of the city began to whisper.
Chengchun and Hongdou couldn't help but tremble after hearing these words, and Chengchun was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
"Go, go, whatever, get out of here!" The guard also heard what they said and stepped forward to drive the person away.
The guard on the side also came over, took Cheng Chun's hand and pulled her up: "Did you hear that? You two little girls are really lucky. You haven't encountered any refugees on the road to steal your things?"
"We came from the town next door. After we left the city gate, we didn't dare to take a sip of the water. We kept walking straight towards this direction without stopping!" Cheng Chun's eyes were red, and he was obviously really scared.
"Let's go in. The gates of Hangzhou are closed early. There are no refugees. It's quite safe. Find a place to change your clothes. These are old clothes you got from others. They don't fit at all!" The guard looked at Chengchun and Hongdou.
, couldn't help but laugh, "You're quite smart, no wonder you came back here!"
"Thank you, brother guard!" Chengchun and Hongdou thanked each other hurriedly.
When the city gate opened for traffic, a crowd of people rushed over. The guards seemed to have known that this would happen. They lined up in front of the crowd early and did not let any of them in.
Chengchun and Hongdou walked into the city gate, looked at the door slowly closing behind them, and looked at the people struggling to get in, their eyes couldn't help but gradually turn red: "It's really..."
Inside Hangzhou, it is indeed as the guards said, there are no refugees, and the streets are peaceful, which is very different from the scenes outside where people are fighting for their lives.
"Girl, let's go!" Hongdou held Chengchun's hand and walked slowly inside.
The two of them found an inn, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes before they had time to sit down and rest.
