When the two of them sat in the flying machine until they reached the front of a town, they got down from it and walked to the city gate in front of them, and saw that many people were lined up in front of them, so Duan Ye looked at Feng Jiu.
"I didn't get a good night's rest last night, so let's rest here for the night today! Tiandanlou has them to take care of it, so you don't have to worry too much. โ
Feng Jiu smiled: "It's okay, anyway, there's nothing going on right now, I'm just afraid that my brother and Mochen will worry about me." As she spoke, she looked at the city and said, "Wait until you go into the city to see if there is a branch of Tianyuan Palace, and if there is one, let them send a message back, so that they don't worry at home." โ
"Then I will also send a message to Song Ming and the others, telling them that I have left the sect and followed you." He looked at her as he spoke.
"Okay."
She nodded, and the two of them walked forward together, following the people in line to the city gate, looking at the city gate guards who seemed to be searching for something, her eyes moved slightly, and said, "Those people seem to be looking for something?" โ
It's normal for the city gate to be guarded, but it's just that this kind of behavior of searching people is a bit excessive, especially since some of them are women, and it is really unreasonable to let one or two male guards search there.
Duan Ye looked ahead, and saw that some ordinary women heard that they were going to be searched when they entered the city gate, and they all went backwards, while some female monks stepped forward, but those guards did not dare to be too presumptuous, but just looked up and down roughly and let them go.
"I really don't have anything hidden on my body, I'm carrying my sister behind my back, we are going to the city to find a doctor, my family lives in a small mountain village not far from the city, really, I'm just an ordinary woman from a good family." A plainly dressed woman carrying a seven or eight-year-old girl surrounded by a sheet on her back couldn't help but step back when she saw the guard's outstretched hand, explaining as she spoke.
What woman from a good family would let a man search her body like this? Even if she is not a monk, just an ordinary person, she does not want to be taken advantage of.
"Who knows if what you're saying is true or false? It's not peaceful in the city these days, and you have to check carefully when you go in and out, and it's the same for both men and women. A city guard said, and pushed the woman arrogantly: "It's okay if you don't check, hurry up and go aside, don't block the way of the people behind." โ
The people in the queue looked at it, and there were almost no young women, but when some elderly women stepped forward, they simply looked at them twice and waved them over, apparently not showing the slightest interest in the elderly women.
"I heard that a lot of people have died in the city recently, so martial law is here, and everyone who comes in and out checks, but the actions of these people are too obvious, and the nuns dare not provoke them, and the elderly women are not interested in touching them, so they pick some younger ones to take advantage of them."
"That is, a teenage girl in our village, because she wanted to go into the city to buy medicine for her father, was stopped by these people and took a lot of advantage, and her eyes were swollen from crying when she went back.
"Alas! What is the difference between these guards and bandits? Their monks don't dare to provoke, so they can only suffer our little people. โ
The two old men and the man standing in front of Feng Jiu and Duan Ye were whispering, their eyes swept over the people in front of them, fell on the woman who was carrying the girl on her back, and glanced at the city guards again.
At this moment, the voice of an old man standing in front of the two of them came out quietly......
