Cui Jinyi rolled her eyes without any regard for her image; it seemed these two were even less useful than her.
Taking in refugees and civilians has now become a propaganda slogan for all forces.
If she just wanted a safe haven, would she have gone through all that trouble to come here?
Cui Jinyi looked at Zhen Wanwan and the other girl with a half-smile. At this moment, in Cui Jinyi's eyes, they were equivalent to simple-minded three-year-old children.
Zhen Wanwan gritted her teeth. She still had to establish this connection. What if this kid really was a talent? Wouldn't she have hit the jackpot?
"Young man, my family used to be in the medicinal herb cultivation business, but alas..."
Zhen Wanwan sighed and squeezed out a few tears, trying to sound pitiful.
"Our family has run out of luck; only my sister and I are left. We thought Anqing Prefecture had good welfare benefits, and we heard they've opened a place called the 'Happiness Home.' If you don't have children, you can live there for free in your old age, and there are doctors to see you for minor illnesses..."
Zhen Wanwan was still praising her own people openly and secretly, unaware of Cui Jinyi's changing expression.
After hearing Zhen Wanwan's words, Cui Jinyi could hardly contain her excitement.
It seems she made the right choice in Anqing Prefecture!
The ruler of Anqing Prefecture is able to implement such good policies, so he must be a person who cares about the people.
However… Cui Jinyi’s eyes darkened.
"What's the use of good government policies if we can't get in or out?"
Zhen Wanwan laughed, which made Cui Jinyi glare at her angrily: "You're still laughing! Do you know that if we can't get in, we'll just have to wait to die here! Either we'll be killed by the barbarians, or we'll starve to death!"
As for wild animals, they had already been mostly caught by the starving people.
Despite being scolded by the boy, Zhen Wanwan wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said with her head held high, "I do have a way to get in!"
"real?"
Cui Jinyi's face was full of doubt, but in reality, she was very much looking forward to it.
If what this woman said is true, then she and her grandparents can go in too!
Before her father left, he instructed her to come to Anqing Prefecture, saying that as long as she could get in, they would never have to worry about food and drink again, nor would they have to worry about being killed.
Cui Jinyi has complete faith in her father, whom she has admired since childhood. And so, after a long and arduous journey, she finally arrived at her destination with her grandparents.
But I found I couldn't get in!
"Of course it's true! However, your arrival is too suspicious, so I dare not easily take you in. If you cause trouble after entering the city, we don't have that many heads to chop off!"
Zhen Wanwan decided to give her a nudge, hoping to get some information out of her.
Cui Jinyi panicked a little. Today was her last chance to get into the city, so how could she possibly let go of any opportunity?
She didn't care; she could wait no matter how bitter or difficult it was. But her grandparents' health wouldn't allow it.
"Don't misunderstand! I'm not a bad person! Please, please take us into the city! Don't worry, I promise I won't cause any trouble once we're in the city. If you're still worried, we can pretend we don't know each other after we get in. I'll take full responsibility for anything that happens!"
us?
Zhen Wanwan raised an eyebrow, so this boy wasn't alone; there were others behind him!
For safety reasons, Zhen Wanwan did not dare to agree to his request rashly. She could tell that the young man in front of her was a simple-minded but very intelligent person.
However, Zhen Wanwan had never met the person behind him and dared not make any rash judgments.
Therefore, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I can take you into the city, but you have to agree to one condition: if we get into the city, you have to give me a reward; and if you cause trouble, you can't say you know me..."
Hearing this, Cui Jinyi felt reassured.
