After hearing this, Xiao Bao showed his ashamed expression and took the initiative to say, "Master, I understand. I will go to clean up the room now. After two days, I can go out." Kong Ming nodded after hearing this.

They planned to clean up a room, but the room didn't seem very dirty, just a little dust, which could be simply wiped and cleaned. Seeing that the bed was made of bricks, Xiao Bao couldn't help but say, "Master, people here don't sleep on wooden beds, they use bricks instead."

Kong Ming looked around and said, "There's a stove here. Is it what the common people call a kang? I didn't expect there would be one here."

"Master, they were quite nice to us. They gave us a room with a kang."

"Well, let's clean up quickly! Otherwise we'll have to sleep on the floor tonight." This was where the Tong family lived before, and they moved to their new house a month ago, so it wasn't very dirty. After a simple wipe, Xiao Bao took the firewood and lit the stove. The pale yellow flame reflected on his face, and he suddenly felt that the people in this village were quite nice to them.

After Tong Wenyao explained everything to Kong Ming, she returned to the Tong family. She said to Dongzi, "The new teacher will temporarily live in our old house. Take some daily necessities with you. First, throw a piece of oilcloth in and let them spread it on the ground. Then, throw the daily necessities in through the bamboo fence."

Dongzi sighed and went to clean up the backyard. Tong Wenyao went with him. She looked for Lanhua and asked her to cook some food for them. Now that the teacher had arrived, Tong Wenyao decided to go see how the house under the big elm tree was doing, and how the paper production in the back mountain was going.

Tong Wenyao also thought that if paper could be mass-produced, she would buy some books and then print them. She wondered if mass-printing books would be possible. However, she had never done movable type printing, but it should be done by engraving the characters and then printing them on the books. She would discuss it with Kong Ming and see if they could come up with a printing method.

After this round, Wu Qing returned to the big elm tree and continued to discuss with them the number of people on duty at night. There were three groups of people. During the day, they would guard the village entrance and not let anyone in. At night, they would be divided into two groups, one group would be on duty in the first half of the night, and the other group would be on duty in the second half of the night. There were four people in the first half of the night, and every hour, two people would patrol the village. However, in addition to the village entrance, there was another side that could be climbed over the mountain. The other two sides were relatively steep and there were some thorns planted on them, so it was not easy to climb over. So the focus should be on that side and the village entrance.

The same number of people are needed in the second half of the night, and during the day, only two people are needed to guard the village entrance.

Tong Bo said from the side: "Village chief, if you don't arrange for someone to build the gate at the entrance of the village, it will be like a village."

After hearing this, Wu Feng also hurriedly said: "Village Chief, I think we can build a wall. I will lead the villagers to build a wall. It will be built in less than two days. And it can be built big and beautiful. It will be bigger and better than the ones in the county."

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Wu Qing immediately made a decision, "Okay, in that case, let's build the village entrance. Now is an extraordinary period, and I hope everyone will work together to overcome the difficulties."

"Okay, okay, let's get through this together."

Wujia Village is great! Especially after Wu Zhuang and Grandma Sun left, the cohesion of the entire village has become even better.

Because Wu Feng led his people to build the entrance to the village, people from other villages saw what their village was like and started to build their own walls in the same way. Although they did not use bricks like theirs, some people cut down trees from the mountains to build the walls. They did not expect that following Wujia Village in building the wall would save their lives in the near future.

Only Anma Village, close to Yuguan County, saw this and laughed at them for worrying too much. They thought the refugees were so far away from them, how could they come here? Besides, there was still Yuguan County, so why would they spare Yuguan County? They were also a village that had not made any preparations.

In Cangzhou, the number of refugees outside the city gate was so large that they could not be seen. Looking from the city wall, there were more people rushing in from afar. The refugees were so angry that they could explode at any moment. It could be said that they were just missing a fuse.

And that fuse will come soon.

Time goes back to three days ago. Wu Zhuang was driven out of Baimafang because of her mother's death. When she was at a dead end, she suddenly saw the doctor entering the inn. He remembered that it was the doctor in front of him who gave medicine to his mother, but in the end, his mother died tragically next to the bathtub.

Although he did not have a deep affection for his mother, he was still a little moved when he saw his mother die in front of him. So when he saw the doctor enter the inn, he began to squat in front of the inn for the whole day, and in the end he never saw the doctor come out.

After encountering the inn's waiter by chance, he went up to ask for advice, only to find that there was no old doctor in the inn. Two young girls were staying in the room with a young man next to them. The more the waiter talked, the colder his heart became. He knew that they had fallen into someone's trap after staying in the gambling house for a short time. Thinking of this, he ran back to the White Horse Square, but learned that the owner of the White Horse Square had died. He was shocked and terrified.

Now Changjiang Village can no longer go back and can only go towards Cangzhou, which is also his road. On the way to Cangzhou, he saw Tong Wenyao's carriage heading to Yuguan County, and this scene was also seen by Wu Zhuang.

He clenched his fists, his mind constantly recalling the appearance of the little girl that the waiter had described. Doesn't this match their appearance? At the same time, he secretly swore in his heart: "Mom, if I have the chance, I will avenge you!"

After gritting his teeth, he headed towards Cangzhou. Now he was penniless and could only survive by going to a big city. If he was seen by the people from Baimafang here, he would be beaten up.

As soon as he entered Cangzhou, he saw a huge crowd of people outside the city gate. The gate of Cangzhou was closed. He had no news and naturally didn't know that a large number of refugees had been waiting outside Cangzhou for two days.

When he got down the hill, he saw that the people sitting outside were refugees who were even more miserable than him. He had been eating wild fruits picked from the mountains and drinking water from the river for the past two days. Even so, he was still a little cleaner than others, but not much better.

Wu Zhuang was suddenly at a loss. At first, he just wanted to come to Cangzhou to be a beggar, and then look for an opportunity to work under someone else, preferably around a big shot, so that he could take revenge on the Tong family in Changjiang Village.

But ideals are good, but reality is cruel. When he came here, he saw that there were indeed more refugees than him. With so many people, how could he beg in the city? Moreover, he could not enter the city now.
