"Moo!" Xiao Hei knew someone was praising him. After the cow mooed, his four hooves swung up and he ran even faster.
Lin Feng quickly asked it to slow down, as Yang Jingyi and the children could not withstand such bumps.
"Moo!" Xiao Hei was a little unhappy. He had just started running. These days, he felt that he was full of energy but had nowhere to vent it.
But it still has to listen to Lin Feng's words.
"Those robbers were so miserable that they didn't even have time to say a second word." Lin Feng couldn't help but shook his head. It was their bad luck to meet this Xiao Hei.
He hadn't expected the bull to be so murderous, charging at him without a word. But, well, this was the right thing to do.
With the speed of this cow, if it really runs, even an ordinary fast horse may not be able to catch up with it. Moreover, it is obvious that the cow is not trying its best. Don’t forget, it is pulling a heavy cart frame!
Xiao Hei shook his tail and walked slowly on the sandy road, chewing Hami melon in his mouth.
After walking and stopping for a few days, they finally saw Huangsha City. Huangsha City is a big city and also a commercial hub. It is only a five-day journey from here to the border of King Qi's fiefdom. They are one step closer to their destination.
In the past few days, they would be attacked by tiger scorpions at night, causing the family members to not have a good rest. However, Lin Feng was an exception. He drank spiritual spring water, which was refreshing and always made him energetic.
However, what made him depressed was that the tiger scorpion corpses received in the space tower were all useless, with only a layer of skin left. When he asked Linglong Tower the reason, Linglong Tower said it didn't know. Lin Feng could feel that Linglong Tower must know something.
"Brother! Five cents each. Sell these and buy new clothes and shoes for my sister-in-law, my parents, and my younger brother."
The little sister opened her small cloth bag, which was full of tiger scorpion corpses. She picked them up and kept them for herself without giving them to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up. There were quite a few tiger scorpions. Each one could be sold for five cents, which was enough to buy clothes for the whole family. Their clothes were too shabby, with patches on patches, and there was really no way they could be patched up anymore.
"Good job, little sister." Lin Feng pinched the little sister's face.
The family arrived at the gate of Huangsha City.
"Stop, what are you doing?" The soldiers guarding the city stopped Lin Feng's ox cart.
Lin Feng replied with a smile: "We are from Beijun and are going to the fiefdom of King Qi."
"No one is allowed to pass!" said the soldiers guarding the city viciously.
Lin Feng's family was stunned. Not allowed to pass?
"We are just passing through Huangsha City and will not stay long." Lin Feng continued with a smile.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Huangsha City has now surrendered to King Yu. King Yu has ordered that the people are not allowed to move." The soldiers guarding the city still did not give Lin Feng a good look.
Lin Feng was extremely upset. His family had gone through so much hardship, and he hadn't said a word. Was he going to let them go back the same way? Prince Yu had done so much harm. They had fled with their families out of fear of him, and now, Huangsha City had surrendered without a fight.
"Excuse me, sir, where else can our family go? It's not easy coming this far!" Lin Feng asked, gritting his teeth.
"I don't care where you go. You won't be allowed to pass through Huangsha City. Leave the city gate immediately, otherwise I will be killed without mercy." The soldier guarding the city drew his sword and pointed the tip of the sword at Lin Feng.
Lin's father quickly pulled Lin Feng aside, as he was afraid that Lin Feng would have a conflict with these soldiers.
"General, can't we go into the city to buy supplies?" Father Lin asked with a nod and a bow.
"Go into the city? Do you know how many refugees have come to Huangsha City recently? Where is there room for you to stay?"
Lin Feng took out the only hundred coins he had and handed them to the soldier guarding the city. Then he said with a smile, "General, please be flexible. My family has nothing to eat or drink and we can't survive in the desert. This little money is all our family savings. Consider it a drink for you all."
The soldiers guarding the city were blinded by the sight of money. They weighed their money bags and said with a smile, "Wouldn't it have been better if this had been done earlier? Why waste so much time talking? Go in! I'm telling you, it's easier to get in than to get out. King Yu's special envoy has arrived, and he's issued a death order: not a single civilian will be allowed to pass through Huangsha City."
Lin Feng immediately nodded in agreement.
The family drove an ox cart through the city gate. As soon as they stepped onto the city streets, the Lin Feng family gasped. Why is it so cold in this yellow sand city? It is completely different from the hot climate of the desert.
There are shops lining both sides of the street, with constant shouting and a constant stream of pedestrians, people are crowded together, making people's scalps tingle. The soldiers guarding the city are right. Many refugees have come to Huangsha City recently.
After entering the city, it was difficult to move forward. Lin Feng didn't know where to take his family for a moment. The only consolation was that their family didn't have to endure the harsh weather of flying sand and rocks.
After passing through a sea of people, the family finally found an open space to park the ox cart.
This is a square. Strangely, despite the open space, no one comes here to stroll around.
"Hey! Are you new here?" asked an old man in tattered clothes.
Lin Feng nodded: "We just arrived today."
The old man looked at Lin Feng with a wicked smile and said slowly, "That's right. Do you know what this vacant lot is used for?"
Lin Feng looked around the square. It was paved with stone slabs and there was not a single tree nearby. It looked empty.
The old man chuckled and said, "Do you have anything to eat? Give me something to eat, and I'll tell you why there's no one here."
Lin Feng was speechless. Was begging so arrogant? However, he was indeed a little curious. He then took a red wheat cake from the car. This red wheat cake was given to him by the nobleman who bought water. His family didn't eat it. There were white flour buns and dumplings. Who would eat this stuff?
"Hey! Red wheat cake? Good stuff." The old man couldn't wait to take a bite and then put it in his pocket.
The old man smiled and said, "There are still a pair of children and grandchildren at home."
"I'll give you another one." Seeing that he was reluctant to eat it, Lin Feng gave him two more without saying a word.
The old man was stunned when he took the red wheat cake. How could there be such a fool in the world? He looked around and put the red wheat cake back into his pocket without eating it.
"Boy, let me advise you not to be too honest with others. What's the most expensive thing right now? Food. Do you know how many refugees starve to death in Huangsha City every day? Don't reveal that you have food in the future."
Lin Feng felt a tightness in his heart after hearing this. He had just made a stupid move. He had become lax after entering the city and had not realized that danger was everywhere.
"Thank you for your advice, uncle. Can you tell me why there is no one here?" Lin Feng asked.
