Chapter Twenty-Eight: Finally Entering the Town

Seeing that night was approaching, Meng Ge wondered if he should find a place to settle down first, or move on to the fabled town. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is said that it is a legend, and that is because the name of this town was overheard by Meng Ge when he was lurking near the cottage and observing.

"Shall we sleep in the vicinity of that village for the night, or shall we go straight to the town and settle down?" Meng Ge asked the two small.

Meng Mao completely followed Meng Ge's wishes, so he just looked at Meng Ge, and his eyes were all dependent.

Yu Yang's heart was agitated, and he looked at the still bright sky and said, "Let's move on." Didn't you say that after you get on the official road, you can get to the town after walking for more than half an hour early? ”

Meng Ge nodded, that's what the bandits said at the time.

"Okay, let's get on the road." After Meng Ge finished speaking, he led Meng Mao to keep up with Yu Yang, who had already strode forward.

As the bandits said, after walking straight north for nearly an hour, the three of them finally arrived at the legendary town of Xiaoluo.

Looking at the towering wall stacked with blue and black stone slabs in front of him, and the heavy city gate that was half-closed, Meng Ge's heart was a lot more steady.

"Sister Ge'er, what are you doing, hurry up, didn't you see that they were going to close the city gate." Yu Yang saw that Meng Ge stood still, so he urged her.

However, when Yu Yang said that he was going to enter the city, Meng Mao directly hugged Meng Ge's arm.

Meng Ge could only appease Meng Mao and said, "Good, we have to go to the city first." After entering the city, we sold our belongings and exchanged them for money before we could find a place to buy land and build a house to live in. ”

Seeing that Meng Mao was trembling a little, Meng Ge simply took him into his arms and continued: "Don't be afraid, my sister has always been here, and she will definitely not leave you." Didn't my sister bring you out of the mountains, and she didn't leave you behind. ”

On the other side, Yu Yang also patted Meng Mao's shoulder and said, "That's right, Sister Ge'er won't leave us." ”

The two took turns to persuade for a while, and seeing that the city gate was really about to be closed, Meng Ge dragged the somewhat reluctant Meng Mao and ran over.

"Remember, I'll be your brother from now on, stop calling sister, you know?" Before entering the city, Meng Ge solemnly said to the two small roads.

Meng Mao still nodded obediently, and his little face was a little pale when he was blown by the cold wind. Yu Yang wanted to say something, but when he saw Meng Ge's dress, he stopped talking.

The three of them ran to the city gate at the last moment and called the people who pulled the door, and those people looked at the immature three people and hesitated.

The main thing is that the big bundle of fur rolls that Meng Ge is carrying is too terrifying, enough to be the size of three of her.

"Who are you, what are you doing in Xiaoluo Town?" Several people guarding the city gate looked at Meng Ge and the three of them vigilantly and asked.

"We are just ordinary people, coming from the south, and we have a household registration." Meng Ge said, and took out the household registration book that was stained with a few traces of blood.

It was the household registration book of Yu Yang's family, which clearly indicated that there were three brothers. This was also negotiated in advance.

In order to become a parent and successfully settle down, Meng Ge plans to be the eldest grandson of the Yu family, Yu Fei. Yu Yang is still the second brother, and Meng Mao is the younger brother Yu Li.

After all, only male children over the age of fifteen can stand on their own. And Yu Yang's eldest brother is exactly fifteen years old this year.

"South? I heard that the south side is very waterlogged this year. You're here to join your relatives? A more shrewd man stepped forward to take over the household registration, flipped through it, and then carefully compared a few people, and asked.

"We don't have any relatives, we are planning to settle here. My father and grandfather died of illness on the way, leaving me and my two younger brothers alone. Meng Ge showed a sad expression, and his face was a little sad and helpless.

Yu Yang thought of his deceased relatives, and the whole person was trapped in grief.

When Meng Mao saw these people, he was very scared and nervous, and he clinged to Meng Ge's side tightly, not even showing his face.

The gatekeeper looked at the three children and said to Meng Ge with some disbelief: "I don't think you are fifteen years old, at most twelve years old." And him," the man said, pointing to Meng Mao, who didn't show his face, "and let him turn around and give us a closer look." ”

Meng Ge opened his mouth to explain, but in the end, he patted Meng Mao's shoulder and persuaded him: "Brother, don't be afraid, they are not bad people." Here, let them see your face before we can go in." Otherwise, we won't be able to sell anything. ”

Meng Mao's back finally relaxed under the tap of Meng Ge's palm, and then he quietly glanced at the people out of the corner of his eye.

In the darkness of the night, there was a row of men standing behind the door, three of whom had torches in their hands. In the light of the extinguished fire, there was nothing wrong with the faces of several people.

may be due to the fact that Meng Ge and the others are children, or maybe they feel that these three children are not to be afraid.

In short, the men did not show any other expressions except for some wariness on their faces.

This made Meng Mao, who had always only had the hideous expressions of the ogres in his memory, feel a little more relaxed.

Therefore, when Meng Ge persuaded him to turn around again, Meng Mao turned his face worriedly.

However, even though he showed his face, Meng Mao still hugged Meng Ge tightly, perhaps afraid that those people would suddenly become as terrifying as those demons.

The men raised their torches, took a closer look at all three, and then pointed to the fur curl behind Meng Ge and said, "Put everything down, we have to check it." ”

Meng Ge obediently unloaded the things, and asked Yu Yang to put down the basket as well. As for the roe deer that Meng Mao was carrying on his back, which looked like it was about to run out of breath, Meng Ge didn't care.

The moment the fur roll was untied, the men behind the door all walked out, leaving only the people behind the two doors to stand by.

When they saw the complete tiger skin inside the fur roll, the men were not calm. Especially the man who kept asking.

"You guys hit it?" The man was just asking tentatively, not really thinking so.

"No, my dad hit me." Menggo denied.

The man didn't ask as sharply as before, but asked suspiciously: "There are so many furs, you don't sell some on the road?" ”

Meng Ge still said sadly: "My father and mother won't let me sell it." They said that this is only to be sold when we have settled down. We still have some travel expenses. ”

Yu Yang also nodded and said yes. He also said: "My father and my mother said that the south is always plagued, so they sold their ancestral property and came to the north to settle down. Whoever thinks about it, they all fall ill on the way, and they don't get better even if they ask for a doctor. ”

Yu Yang's words were also discussed in advance. Fearing that those people would misunderstand what kind of infectious diseases their parents had such as plague and dysentery, Meng Ge told Yu Yang not to say what kind of disease he had.

"Sick, huh? What kind of illness are they? Sure enough, as soon as they heard that they had died one after another, the men who were still curious about turning their fur all stopped.

"My grandfather had been bedridden for two years, and we had only been out for a short time, and we had been trapped in a small town for more than half a month. That's when my grandfather died. Yu Yang shed tears and choked up, "My mother's health was not good, she contracted a cold when she was sleeping in the wild, and she soon died." In order to help my mother find a doctor, my father broke his leg and knocked his head in a hurry, and he also left half a year ago. ”

In the end, Yu Yang was already in tears. Meng Ge also remembered his parents who died in vain, and he also burst into tears. Even Meng Mao was also shrunk in Meng Ge's arms, shaking his shoulders and sobbing silently.

In the end, it was Meng Ge who gave up two badger skins, two wolf skins, and a solid red fox skin, and they let the three of them enter the city.
