Chapter 17: Not Allowing Refugees to Enter the City



"Brother Ji, since we are traveling together from now on, your prey..."

Lin Qiye rubbed his hands in a sly manner, looking like he deserved a beating.

Lin Jiuyue finally couldn't help it and slapped Lin Qiye on the head.

"Qi Ye, don't be rude."

Lin Qiye knew he was in the wrong and rubbed his head in frustration. He didn't dare to say anything more.

"It's okay. I can't eat all the prey by myself. It's so hot, it will spoil easily. Since we are going to travel together from now on, we should take care of each other."

Ji Liangchuan was very generous to his savior.

Lin Qiye secretly glanced at his sister and didn't dare to speak again. He just looked at Lin Jiuyue with grievance.

"Since Brother Ji said so, we two siblings will not be polite."

After following Ji Liangchuan to the cave to retrieve the prey, the three of them returned to where the victims gathered.

They took Ji Liangchuan's pots and pans and quietly returned to the woods, where the three of them had a hearty meal.

Lin Qiye burped and patted his round belly in satisfaction.

"Burp, I haven't eaten this full in a long time."

Lin Jiuyue smiled awkwardly.

"Brother Ji, thank you so much today."

These days, families who can eat meat are considered lucky, especially in this situation.

It is very rare that Ji Liangchuan can take out all the meat and share it with his sister and brother.

"You're welcome. I can't finish it all by myself anyway. It'll go bad if I leave it out."

The three of them had a hearty meal, cleaned up the pots and pans, and then headed towards the gathering place for the disaster victims.

When we arrived at the gathering place, some people had already started to walk slowly.

"Brother Ji, when we get to Jingyang County later, I want to go into the county."

Ji Liangchuan frowned.

"Go into the county? We are disaster victims, so it might not be easy for us to go into the county."

Lin Jiuyue showed a sly smile.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way."

"By the way, Brother Ji, do you have any money on you? Can you lend me some?"

Lin Jiuyue and her brother didn't have a single penny on them, so it was difficult for them to go into the county to buy things.

Ji Liangchuan didn't ask any questions and handed all the silver he had to Lin Jiuyue without saying a word.

"That's all the silver I have. Take whatever you want."

Lin Jiuyue didn't expect Ji Liangchuan to trust her so much. He gave her all the three taels of silver he had.

"Brother Ji, aren't you worried that I'll run away with the money?"

"Can you?"

Ji Liangchuan did not answer, but asked a question in return.

Lin Jiuyue smiled.

"Of course not. Since Brother Ji trusts me so much, how could I let him down?"

The three followed the team and soon arrived at the gate of Jingyang County.

The village chief told the victims not to move around and went to the city gate to inquire about the news.

Lin Jiuyue followed the village chief and wanted to go into the city to buy some things.

At the city gate.

The soldiers wore long swords and stood at the city gate, carefully questioning people entering and leaving the city gate.

The village chief was frightened when he saw this.

When I was in Huanglou Town, Qing'an County, there were only two soldiers with swords at the city gate, but they were mainly there to collect entrance fees.

When the village chief suddenly saw a small group of soldiers with swords, he began to feel like retreating.

"Village Chief, how about you go back first and I go get some information?"

Lin Jiuyue stood behind the village chief and saw his performance clearly.

The village chief heard the voice and turned to look at Lin Jiuyue.

"September girl, why are you here?"

Lin Jiuyue smiled.

"Village Chief, I want to buy some things and come to see if I can go into the city."

The village chief frowned.

There are so many soldiers guarding the city gate, obviously preventing the disaster victims from Qing'an County from entering the city. Jiu Yue's idea is likely to fail.

"September girl, look, there are so many soldiers guarding here. It will be difficult for you to enter the city."

"Village Chief, I have my own way."

I don’t know what will happen on the way to escape famine. Although I have space, now in this space, apart from the rice I have planted, the only other things I can grow are cabbage, radish, beans, eggplant and other seeds that I exchanged from the village chief.

Although there are not many types of dishes, they are enough.

This medicine is still a scarce commodity.

It is inevitable that something will happen while fleeing from famine. If you get sick and have no medicine, your life will be in danger.

Of course, this situation does not exist in Lin Jiuyue. After all, Lin Jiuyue has spiritual spring water that can cure all diseases.

But it is impossible to take out spiritual spring water at any time, there must be something to cover it up.

The common man is innocent. Lin Jiuyue still understands the principle that the person who possesses the treasure is guilty.

Seeing Lin Jiuyue’s firm commitment, the village chief immediately agreed.

"Okay, then go and find out what's going on."

After the village chief finished speaking, he took out ten copper coins from his pocket and gave them to Lin Jiuyue.

"It's no use trying to find out something without money."

Lin Jiuyue wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she accepted the copper coin.

"Then I won't be polite. If the money is not spent, I will return it to you when the time comes."

Lin Jiuyue did not go directly to the guarding soldiers to ask for information, but stood by the roadside and watched.

After a while, I saw an old man carrying vegetables into the city to sell.

Lin Jiuyue hurried forward to stop the old man.

"Little girl, what are you doing?"

The old man was carrying a load of vegetables, beads of sweat on his forehead. Seeing Lin Jiuyue stopping him, he thought that this was the city gate and that she was a young girl, so he thought nothing would happen. He simply put the basket on the ground and asked while wiping his sweat.

"Uncle, I need your help. Don't worry, I won't let you help me for free. I'll pay you."

The old man looked at Lin Jiuyue suspiciously.

"Little girl, you look like a refugee, right? I'm just an ordinary peasant, there's nothing I can do to help you."

"Sir, it's nothing serious. I just wanted to go into the city to buy some things. But as you know, the soldiers won't let us refugees into the city. So I thought of following you into the city. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

The old man looked Lin Jiuyue up and down and asked.

"Since you know that the officers and soldiers won't let the refugees into the city, I'll be in trouble if they find out. Aren't you making things difficult for me, an old man?"

Lin Jiuyue twitched the corner of her mouth. Then she swiftly stuffed ten copper coins into the old man's pocket.

"Uncle, my father fell ill while we were fleeing. We have no medicine, so I want to go into the city to buy some. My father would have died without this medicine. Uncle, please be kind and take me into the city with you."

Lin Jiuyue squeezed hard and actually squeezed out two tears.
