After everyone packed their luggage and put out the fire, they hurried on their way.
After walking about one kilometer further, someone found a cave where they could take shelter temporarily.
They were all strangers in this line of people.
Walking on this road is just to get the protection of the officials.
Therefore, everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to the officials, waiting for their decision.
The officer looked at the tall man.
"I'll go in and take a look first."
It is not uncommon to have caves in the mountains.
But these caves are often favored by animals.
To be safe, we still need to find out the situation clearly.
"Brother, I'll go with you."
At this time, a half-grown boy stood up from the group of tall men.
The man was stunned for a moment.
Then he smiled and said, "Okay."
The two men entered the cave one after the other, holding tinder.
Everyone was waiting quietly, praying silently in their hearts that this cave could accommodate them.
Everyone thought that this night was the most difficult night they had ever experienced.
They didn't expect that the test had just begun.
The further north you go, the colder the climate becomes.
The refugees headed north in an attempt to find a place to settle down because they could not survive.
But they found that they had taken the wrong path.
The further north you go, the more desolate it becomes.
Many refugees stopped on the road.
They couldn't walk anymore and didn't want to walk anymore.
After leaving Yangcheng Prefecture, the original long team was reduced to only two teams whose destination was Mobei.
Just the day before leaving Yangcheng Prefecture, heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky.
The wind was freezing cold, and icy snowflakes were falling. The ground was soon covered with thick snow, a silvery white.
They took difficult steps, leaving a long trail of footprints on the snow where no one had ever stepped.
The cold wind is howling.
It hurts my face when I shave it.
Jiangnan Ge still carried her brother on her back, holding Xin Guoguo's hand tightly.
"We'll be leaving Yangcheng Prefecture soon. When we get to Youzhou Prefecture, let's go into the city first and buy a carriage. We'll be much warmer then."
As he walked and talked in the cold wind, he immediately drank a mouthful of northwest wind.
He quickly shut his mouth and continued on his way.
The prisoners in that exile team also tried their best to wear thick clothes.
But they were driven out of the house in such a hurry that they had nothing with them except the packages that the three young men on horseback had delivered earlier.
The thick clothes in the packages were all wrapped around the children and the elderly.
Others could only shiver in the biting cold wind.
The shackles dragged on the snow, leaving deep marks.
Everyone's shackles were temporarily removed.
Let them see the road clearly.
This group of people who were starving and cold had confused looks in their eyes, their faces were red from the cold, and they could only move their legs numbly.
They need to rush to Mobei before the spring to avoid missing the spring planting.
When little Jiang Beichen saw this scene, his big eyes were filled with sincere sympathy.
But he didn't say anything.
Because the situations of the three of them are no different from theirs.
After leaving Yangcheng Prefecture, there is an increasingly desolate wilderness.
The snow was getting thicker and thicker, and the roads were becoming more and more difficult to travel on.
"Further ahead is Pingshan Town. Once you get here, you'll have entered Youzhou Prefecture. Guoguo, be patient. Once you enter the city, rest for a few days and take it easy before continuing on your journey."
Xin Guoguo nodded.
But no words were spoken.
She didn't want to drink the cold wind.
She suddenly had a little trouble these days.
If it weren't for the help from Xiu Li Qian Kun, she would probably be unable to move now.
Pingshan Town.
Snowflakes were floating in the sky, covering the entire Pingshan Town with a layer of silver.
The mountains in the distance are shrouded in white, appearing and disappearing, like an ink painting.
The entrance to the town is an ancient stone bridge.
The river under the bridge has frozen, and the ice is covered with a thin layer of snow, like a silver ribbon winding through the entire town.
There are several tall pine trees standing on both sides of the bridge, with snowflakes hanging on their needles, standing proudly in the cold wind.
On a snowy day like this, there are only a few people entering and leaving the town.
The group walked towards the town, one step deep and one step shallow, and soon attracted a lot of people's attention.
However, everyone was in a hurry, and they only glanced at each other before passing each other without any intersection.
This town is an inland town and has no city walls, only high gates.
The city wall is located outside the town, where it intersects with Heqing County.
Once you enter the town, you'll feel the vibrant atmosphere of life.
The snow on the streets had been cleared, but thick piles of snow still lay on the roofs.
Snow was still falling from the sky, covering the streets again and making the snow on the roofs even thicker.
The children were laughing and playing in the snow. Most of them were wearing gray cotton-padded clothes with countless patches on them, and they looked cheerful and lively.
Some were making snowmen, their hands were frozen red but they didn't care; others were having snowball fights, their laughter echoing in the air.
A middle-aged woman carrying a basket was hurrying along, wrapping her head and face tightly with a headscarf, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Many shops on the street have closed, and only a few still have their doors open to welcome customers.
Although there were not many customers, the shop owners were not idle. Most of them were wrapped in thick cotton clothes and clearing the snow in front of their doors.
Occasionally they talked to each other and laughed.
