Master Liu wiped his nose and tears and nodded, "Yes, young lady."
Xiao Ye'er in his arms opened her eyes slightly, took Chu Chenyin's hand, and smiled innocently.
Chu Chenyin liked her more and more and reached out to touch her head.
After Liu Ye'er's fever subsided, the carriage sped up and arrived at Moyang County five days later.
Moyang County had just encountered sandstorms, but it was much better than what they had experienced in Qian'an County.
At least you can see cobblestone roads and exposed door beams on the streets.
Lord Fu stopped the carriage in front of an inn, ready to let the horses rest.
There weren't many people in this inn, but they were all refugees from famine, and they occupied more than half of the dozen rooms.
Chu Chenyin, Mrs. Fu, Fu Canghong, and Qing'er and her daughter barely lived in one room.
When they first settled in, they heard the residents on the first floor talking loudly: "It has not rained in more than ten counties around us for several months!"

"Oh! I don't know who has angered God."

"Thirty pairs! Where can they get so many virgins?!"
As they talked, they looked around.

She quickly told Fu Yanting about this and asked Fu Yanting to pay attention to it.
Mrs. Fu originally wanted to say that she was too nervous, but the next second, she couldn't say it.
Suddenly, blue-clad guards holding long sticks rushed into the first floor. They looked around the inn and asked fiercely, "Are there any children here?"
The guests gathered together lowered their heads and did not respond.
The blue guard frowned, "Hurry up and tell me!"
