The Xiao family originally thought that they were going to fight another tough battle, but they didn't expect to meet a good person at the critical moment who was willing to help them when they saw injustice.
They thus avoided a conflict and consumption and were able to continue their journey steadily.
However, Xiao Hechuan was very curious about who the person who came back was. He had been in the court for so many years in his previous life, and he could call out the names of all the officials and dignitaries in Kyoto.
Not long after they walked in front, the group of people caught up, including two carriages.
The dozen or so unruly people had their hands tied up with ropes and were tied together in a chain. They were then led by the guards on horseback to be taken to the local county government to await their fate.
Two carriages were moving in front, one in front and one behind. When the first carriage passed by Xiao Hechuan, the wind happened to blow and lifted the curtain of the carriage, allowing him to see the person in the carriage. Although it was only a brief glance and a cold profile, he recognized the person's identity.
It’s actually him?
There was a faint fragrance coming from a carriage at the back, which came from a girl. You could also vaguely hear the voices of women talking inside.
This means that the person sitting in the second carriage was a girl, who also came from Kyoto, and must be a lady from some wealthy family.
Xiao Hechuan roughly guessed the identity of this girl through that man's identity. After all, there was only one person by her side in her previous life.
Jiang Sui was also guessing who was in the carriage. She also knew that the owner of the carriage was not an ordinary person, but there was nothing she could do. Although she was a person who traveled through a book, she was not a god who could guess other people's identities without knowing their names.
…
Someone specifically cleared the official road, and the rest of the journey was smooth, with no more unruly people robbing along the way.
Moreover, as we went further ahead, we found that the gates of those towns were no longer tightly closed. Instead, there were porridge stalls at each gate, and many refugees had stayed there. Although they were not allowed to enter the city, they had something to eat.
Porridge is provided twice a day, each person is given a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun or something, as long as they don't starve to death.
It turns out that someone has taken action to do something, otherwise the road ahead would not be so smooth.
It took the Xiao family six days to finally reach the territory of Jeju Prefecture. Once here, even the official road became wider and the roads were connected in all directions. The number of refugees decreased a lot, and most of them had already arrived at the gate of Jeju capital.
Looking from afar, you can see the majesty and grandeur of the capital of Jeju City. The flags on the city walls flutter in the wind, which makes people sigh that the visual impact brought by big cities is different. People from small places will get goose bumps.
However, a large refugee shelter has been built under the Jeju city gate. It is made entirely of gray tarpaulin. From a distance, it looks like a military camp and can accommodate at least several thousand people.
There were indeed people distributing porridge at the city gate. They were government officials, and there were also kind-hearted people in the city who donated food and porridge on their own initiative.
"We're finally here. Can we enter the city smoothly?" Xiao's mother looked at the Jeju city gate with sadness in her tone. It was not easy to get here this far.
The refugees are definitely not allowed to enter the city. If so many refugees enter the city, won’t the city be in chaos?
Therefore, in addition to the porridge stalls at the city gate, there were also heavy guards. Documents were required to enter and exit, and only locals could enter.
"Mom, are all our family's household registration documents here?" Xiao Hechuan asked.
He remembered that if refugees wanted to enter the city, they had to provide household registration documents for the entire family. Not even one person could be missing. Only those with household registration documents could register in the city, and household registration documents were also required to settle down.
In the previous life, due to the earthquake, many refugees could not produce their household registration documents and were trapped in refugee camps outside the city. Even those who had documents had additional conditions to enter the city, namely proof of assets.
Without certain proof of assets, even if you enter the city you will still be a refugee with no food to eat and no place to live. It is better for you to stay in the refugee camp, where at least you can have porridge to drink every day.
They have to ensure the quality of life of the people in the city, and not everyone can enter.
"Yes, we moved out before the earthquake. How could we forget something as important as the household registration document? I kept it well!" Xiao's mother replied.
That's it. It will be easy as long as we have the household registration documents. As for proof of assets, they have two cows, which are worth twenty taels of silver according to the local prices in Jeju. In addition, the remaining food, pots and pans, etc. are all proof of assets.
This proves that their entry into the city will not have any impact on the people in the city, after all, they have food and drink.
"Then there shouldn't be any problem, let's go!" Xiao Hechuan confirmed this information and no longer had any worries.
But he ignored Madam Song.
"But I don't have household registration documents because my home was completely destroyed by the earthquake. I can't find my family's household registration documents. I may not be able to enter the city."
Madam Song's face was full of embarrassment and worry.
When Xiao Qin heard this, he became anxious:
"What should I do? It's inconvenient for you to be alone with the child and not be able to go into the city."
This is really a difficult problem. No one knows what to do. Along the way, Madam Song behaved very calmly and did not cause any trouble to anyone. She also rushed to do everything and did not even dare to eat too much or eat good food.
Madam Song laughed and said optimistically:
"It doesn't matter. I'll be in the refugee camp. There's porridge in the porridge shed every day, so my mother and I won't starve to death. Besides, with so many soldiers guarding here, no one will dare to cause trouble. It should be safe.
I am so grateful for your family's protection along the way. I dare not trouble you again. Don't worry about me and Xuxu. Let's go to the city and settle down first!"
Madam Song is not a greedy person, she knows how to be content.
"Go and ask first. If you can get in, then get in. If you can't get in, there's nothing you can do about it!" Xiao Hechuan said.
So, a group of people drove the ox cart to the city gate, and the officers and soldiers immediately stopped them.
"If you want to enter the city, you need the household registration documents of your entire family. You can't enter without one person. And you must be registered in Jeju. Foreigners are not allowed. In addition, you must produce proof that your assets are enough to settle down in the city. Otherwise, you'd better stay in the refugee camp!"
As expected, it was the same as in the previous life. Upon hearing this, Xiao Hechuan stepped forward to negotiate:
"Sir, here are our household registration documents. As for the property you mentioned, our two cows can be sold for twenty taels after entering the city. There is also some food on the ox cart, enough for one or two months. In addition, there is some small change, which is enough to find a place to live in the city. It will not cause any negative impact on the public security in the city."
It doesn't matter even if we tell them, because people from higher up have already come, and they dare not have any evil intentions or abuse their power for personal gain.
