Once outside the city, there's a vast grassland; it's hard to find a place to hide.

Zhang San'er thought he had used all his strength, but he was still caught by the casino's thugs.

Without a word, he pulled out a dagger and slashed at Zhang San'er's hand. The soldiers guarding the city, seeing this chase, sensed that someone was about to commit a crime.

So he grabbed the knife and ran after them, just as the knife was about to sever Zhang San'er's hand.

The soldier shouted anxiously.

"Stop! You're trying to commit violence right in front of me? Do you have no respect for the law?"

When the thugs saw the soldiers approaching, they quickly released Zhang San'er.

After all, what they were doing wasn't exactly aboveboard, so they trembled a little when the officers and soldiers came forward to question them.

Zhang San'er seized the opportunity and ran away.

He didn't care where he was running to; escaping was the priority.

You can survive without a household registration document, but you might not be able to survive without hands.

Zhang San'er understood perfectly well which was more important.

After dealing with the soldiers guarding the city, the thugs went looking for Zhang San'er, but he had already disappeared into the distance.

To catch up, one would have to ride a horse, but they had come out on foot, so in the end they returned empty-handed.

Upon hearing the news, An Si snorted coldly, "He's lucky to be alive."

He wanted to avenge his brother, but now that kid has run off to Mengzhou, the chances of him coming back are practically zero.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Mengzhou is now under the control of the Divine Dragon Kingdom; the vast grasslands there are no joke.

They ran far away and found no one around, no food, and who knew when a pack of wolves might suddenly appear? Saving their lives would be harder than climbing to heaven.

The people in the city had already witnessed Zhang San'er's swift escape.

Amidst the gossip, the Zhang family's dirty laundry was thoroughly exposed. Rumors even circulated that Granny Zhang had sold herself into servitude to a wealthy family.

There are also rumors that Granny Zhang went to find her two sons.

Zhao Minggeng has been in a really bad mood these past few days, always acting like someone owes him money.

This made Zhao Qingyang and Zhao Qingbei, those two boys, stop going near him.

Zhao Qingyan was a little better off; when she went to her father's side, she was treated kindly. However, she could still see resentment in Zhao Minggeng's eyes.

Zhao Qingyan had no choice but to coax her with all sorts of delicious food.

That wasn't all; they were forced to make quite a few sets of clothes for Zhao Minggeng.

Zhao Qingyan knew she was no good at needlework, but she still asked for advice and made a lot of clothes for Zhao Minggeng using a sewing machine.

The fabric used was also from stockpiled stock.

This really gave Zhao Minggeng a hard time.

Zhao Qinglin left after the fifteenth of the lunar year, and it's estimated that she will reach Zatar after traveling for a while.

Because Zhao Qinglin was pregnant, Prince Rui did not want to continue the journey, fearing that something might happen to the baby in Zhao Qinglin's womb.

Zhao Qinglin said he had no adverse reactions and just wanted to get home before giving birth. The home he referred to was Mocheng.

Prince Rui had no objections.

My wife said she doesn't care where we give birth, as long as the baby is healthy and she is safe.

Zatar, Gelgar, Kanna, and Mogao County are these cities.

Under the leadership of Zhao Changgeng and his two sons, along with their son-in-law Wang Huaijing, they have united and formed a very large-scale caravan.

At the same time, the establishment of various workshops provided local people with work and income, and the work of preventing wind erosion and fixing sand dunes was done well.

What Zhao Qinglin and her husband saw in the past was a brand new city.

Zhao Qingyan, on the other hand, was getting tired of making clothes all day long.

They were all like little children; if you gave them three candies, they wouldn't give you two. Finally, one day, Zhao Qingyan got annoyed.

"I hereby declare that I'm going out to have some fun tomorrow, and no one is allowed to stop me."

Huang, Zhao Qianci, Zhao Qingyang, and Zhao Qingyi's eyes lit up.

"Take us with you!" they shouted almost simultaneously.

Zhao Qingyan was embarrassed. She couldn't stand the whole family vying for attention, young and old, which was why she wanted to go out for a stroll.

As a result, Zhao Qingyan felt that taking the whole family out was not a good idea.

Seeing Zhao Minggeng's resentful expression, Zhao Qingyan decided to let it go.

Spend more time with your father before getting married.

But since she'd already said it, she still had to carry it out.

She still decided to take her family to the grasslands for a leisurely stroll.

For no other reason than to enjoy the scene of "a lone plume of smoke rising straight from the desert, and the setting sun round over the long river."

Although we can't go to the desert, spending some time on the grassland should be fine.

Every day when I open my eyes, I see a vast grassland, with blue skies and green land, and herds of cattle and sheep. Just thinking about it makes me feel pretty good.

So Zhao Qingyan set off with four people besides her biological father.

After spending less than seven days on the grasslands, Zhao Qingyan returned with her family.

I don't know if it was her little wings that caused the construction of many mud-brick houses on the grassland, and many trees were planted on the boundless grassland.

The area around the herders' homes is particularly lush with greenery.

They even wanted to encircle the canes in their homes with barbed wire.

That's really something; they've learned the living habits of the people of the Divine Dragon Kingdom perfectly.

Since learning about the benefits of planting trees, the Divine Dragon Kingdom has transported a considerable number of trees to the region, and the people of the grasslands are now extremely enthusiastic about planting trees.

Why? Because you need wood to build houses, and that's exactly what's scarce on the grasslands.

Our family of five went to the grasslands, and our biggest takeaway was eating three sheep and slaughtering a cow there.

In exchange, Zhao Qingyan gave them a lot of grain and seeds, as well as a lot of cotton cloth.

At the same time, Zhao Qingyan ordered a large amount of sheep tail fat and beef tallow, as she planned to open a soap workshop in Davar City as well.

Naturally, a factory needs to be set up, and as a long-term partner, Han Xuri has to come.

Zhao Qingyan's wedding was set for June 16th, the best day calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.

Zhao Qingyan's resistance was futile, and the whole family, including Zhao Minggeng, voted in her favor.

Getting married is a major event in one's life, and a good day should not be missed.

This really put Xu Dongsheng, who had been looking forward to getting married, in a difficult position.

The thought of finally marrying his wife in a few months has kept Xu Dongsheng incredibly busy lately.

Preparing furniture, decorating the new house, the wedding banquet menu, preparing wedding cakes, and customizing the wedding car have taken up all of his spare time.

Things kept happening in the county government office.

He recently noticed a strange phenomenon: the number of children being abandoned in orphanages has increased significantly.

Upon investigation, it turned out they weren't orphans at all; they all had parents.

It was said that the orphanage run by the county magistrate provided the children with good food, drink, and education, so some cunning parents started plotting to take advantage of the situation.

These children are all five or six years old, and they can remember things already.

They figured they could let the orphanage raise the child for free, and once the child had learned some skills, they would take the child back.
