Transmigrating to Ancient Times to Escape Famine, I Have a Treasure Chest So I Don't Panic

One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.

The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.

Before...

Chapter 376 Xiacheng Ceremony

Since Xu Ning said so, the people below naturally believed that she could do it, so they no longer mentioned the matter of setting off the sky bomb.

In the blink of an eye, the long-awaited ribbon-cutting day of Xiacheng finally arrived. It was a sunny and beautiful day, and the whole city was filled with a festive and warm atmosphere.

All preparations were proceeding smoothly, following Xu Ning's meticulous planning and instructions. The streets were decorated with lights and colorful flags fluttering in the wind, and people's faces were filled with happiness and joy.

At this moment, Jiang Yan, accompanied by Li the Hunter and his son, had finally arrived near the gates of Xiacheng after a long, dusty journey. They saw a bustling crowd of people, bustling with citizens who had come to witness the completion of Xiacheng. Some gathered in groups of three or five, excitedly chatting, while others craned their necks to peer inside, hoping to catch a glimpse of the new city.

"Old Li, you're here really early!" Some familiar people squeezed up to my friend and greeted him with a smile.

"Of course not!" the commoner known as Lao Li answered proudly, "I had my son carry me on his back at midnight! How could I miss such an important day? If my son hadn't been worried about me, I would have wanted to stay at the city gate last night!"

A middle-aged man nearby heard this and couldn't help but interrupt jokingly, "Hey, old man! I think your son is afraid that the city lord will blame him! The city lord specifically instructed us not to sleep on the streets, saying it would affect the city's appearance!"

Everyone burst into laughter. Another person chimed in, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what the City Lord said. He also told us not to rush, saying the ribbon-cutting ceremony officially begins at noon. There's plenty of time, even people from the farthest villages can make it on time!"

At this time, someone suddenly sighed and said, "Speaking of this, I really regret it now. Why did I choose to live so close? Look at those people who live far away. They have already gone into the city to visit the new city! Why didn't I think of living farther away?" His words were full of envy and regret.

"Master, the road ahead is blocked by a group of people for some reason. Do you need me to go and drive them away?" Jiang Yi jumped onto the carriage nimbly. Before he could stand firmly, the noisy discussions of the surrounding people had already reached Jiang Yan's ears.

Jiang Yan frowned slightly and asked Jiang Yi, "How long until noon?"

Jiang Yi thought for a moment and then replied, "Master, there's about a quarter of an hour left. I just saw Miss Xu climbing up the city wall."

Jiang Yan nodded after hearing this, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "If that's the case, then there's no need to disturb the people. We'll just watch the ceremony here. Also, go and tell Headmaster Li."

"Yes, master!" After Jiang Yi responded, he quickly turned around and walked towards the carriage where Li the Hunter was.

At this moment, Li Xier had already been captivated by the bustling scene outside the car window. When Jiang Yi approached, he was curiously sticking his head out of the car window, looking around, as if everything around him was full of novelty.

Jiang Yi walked over to Li Hunter's carriage, bowed respectfully, and then briefly relayed Jiang Yan's instructions. After finishing his instructions, Jiang Yi returned to Jiang Yan's side and continued to perform his duties as an attendant.

Meanwhile, after listening to Jiang Yi's words, Hunter Li couldn't help but be drawn to the lively discussion of the nearby people. So, he leaned over and craned his neck to gaze at the towering city wall in the distance.

In the beautifully decorated carriage ahead, Jiang Yan leaned lazily against the window, his deep gaze piercing the bustling crowd and landing directly on the city wall. Standing there was a woman in a vibrant red dress. Her figure was graceful, like a delicate flower blooming in the wind. The sunlight bathed her in a golden glow, making her appear radiant.

At this time, Li Xier, who was sitting next to Li the Hunter, suddenly became excited. He held his father's hand tightly and shook it hard. His little face turned red with excitement: "Dad, I have seen that sister! She is near our house!" As he spoke, he pointed to Xu Ning on the city wall, his eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
