Chapter Forty-Six: Smooth Entry into the City

Liu Lizheng's words quieted the originally noisy crowd, and the villagers glanced at each other, lowered their heads, and one of the thin men walked out.

"Lizheng, there's no need to draw lots, I'll sign up."

When the villagers saw that someone took the initiative to stand up, their faces were surprised, and other people who had been hesitating also stood up bravely, and one after another people stood up.

Even the women stood out of the line, and the first to stand in the front row was still Aunt Li, and behind the rest were the women who had been following her.

"Okay, the people involved are on one side, and the rest of the people who remain in the camp are on the other side." Liu Mengzhou wiped away the tears that were about to flow out, and said in a choked voice.

"Next, the little girl will tell you about the next arrangements."

Xu Xiaoxiao stood on the wooden box and looked at the villagers with panicked faces, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, since I will take you into the city this time, I will use my life as a guarantee to protect everyone's safety." ”

"Everyone protect themselves according to the methods I taught, don't go your own way, masks, gloves, be sure to wear them, carry good liquor with you, the liquor has been brought back from the city, remember, this liquor can't be drunk."

Liu Dazhuang carried out the liquor in the carriage, which Xu Xiaoxiao borrowed money from Chu Qing to buy it when he went out of the city, and said that it was liquor, but in fact, it had been replaced by disinfectant alcohol by her.

Liu Qiao'er helped divide the liquor into small bottles, and then distributed the divided liquor to the villagers who went to Anle Town, and handed over the rest to the villagers who stayed in the camp.

"Everyone must spray more, don't feel distressed, it's important to save your life." Liu Qiaoer explained one by one when she distributed it to the villagers, she knew the villagers too well, very few people in the village had liquor, and the villagers were definitely reluctant to take such a precious item and sprinkle it on their bodies at will.

"The remaining villagers must always be on guard against outsiders, and no one will be allowed to enter." Xu Xiaoxiao explained the last matters.

After the explanation, the respective villagers returned to their homes to explain the matter, Xu Xiaoxiao also returned to his own camp with Liu Qiao'er, at this time Liu Dahua was burning the fire, the fragrance of fragrant rice came out of the cauldron, Chu Chu and Tie Zhu sat on the side and waited for the meal to begin.

"Mother." Liu Qiaoer ran to Liu Dahua with a smile and hugged her.

Liu Dahua changed her usual enthusiastic response, her face was elongated with a sad face, and she replied sullenly for a long time.

"Grandma Liu, are you worried about us?" Xu Xiaoxiao saw Liu Dahua's sorrow.

"I want to go with you too." Liu Dahua put down the branch and hung her head and said.

"It's too dangerous, it's better to stay in the camp and be safe." Liu Qiao'er comforted Liu Dahua's back.

"Yes, you still have to take care of Chu Chu and Tiezhu." Xu Xiaoxiao immediately echoed.

"I'm really not at ease when you're all gone." The comfort of the two did not reduce Liu Dahua's anxiety, and she said with red eyes and choked up.

"Then let's go together." The iron pillar made a sound from the side.

"Okay, that's it." Liu Dahua patted her thigh without hesitation, and followed the words of the iron pillar in one go.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiao'er looked at each other, looking at Liu Dahua, who had regained his previous expression, and could only swallow the words to his lips.

Following.

After breakfast, Xu Xiaoxiao took Liu Dahua, Liu Qiao'er, Chu Chu and Tiezhu to wait for the other villagers under the big tree, and the villagers who came to see them off were surprised to see Liu Dahua's family.

"Dahua, you're old, why don't you join in the fun." Aunt Wu, a villager, couldn't help but step forward to persuade her.

"I'm worried that the child will go together, and my skills are not bad." Liu Dahua replied with a smile.

"That..."Aunt Wu wanted to say something, but was stopped by her own family.

Aunt Wu sighed and stopped talking, and she didn't say much when people were rushing to die.

"The personnel are here." Liu Mengzhou counted the number of people, and then came to Xu Xiaoxiao and said.

"Well, let's go, and when we get to Anle Town, we will enter through the side gate next to the city gate by the night." Xu Xiaoxiao informed Liu Mengzhou of the plan with Chu Qing.

She also knew today why Chu Qing could enter the city in full view, he did not walk through the main gate, but a side gate opened by Chu Qing many years ago, the side gate was not big enough for a carriage to pass through, and there were not many people who knew the side door, only Chu Qing and the magistrate of the year.

"And the side door?" Liu Mengzhou exclaimed.

"Let's go." Liu Lizheng waved his hand to make the villagers ready to go.

"Lizheng, why are you going?" Xu Xiaoxiao saw that Liu Li was dressed neatly and carrying a burden on his shoulders.

"As a lizheng, I can't help but take the lead." Liu Li smiled and waved his hand, as if this matter was not a big deal.

"Then who will take care of Ah Qiao?" Xu Xiaoxiao was still worried about Liu Lizheng's body and bones, and asked worriedly.

"I'll let you stay in the camp to take care of her." Liu Lizheng beckoned as he spoke, signaling Xu Xiaoxiao to start hurrying.

Along the way, the villagers put on gloves and masks according to Xu Xiaoxiao's explanation, and this time, in order to save their lives, the villagers were no longer reluctant to put on the liquor in their hands, and sprayed them when they saw the refugees passing by.

As the sky grew dark, the villagers made their way to the boundary of Anle Town as the sun went down, hiding in the grass and waiting for the night to fall.

The soldiers outside the city gate stood on the city wall with fierce faces, staring at the refugees who wanted to cross the thunder pool, and many refugees who could not bear the hunger and fear wanted to step forward and bravely enter the city gate, but they were all killed by the archers on the city wall.

"Don't make a sound, stay in the grass." Xu Xiaoxiao issued a warning to the villagers behind him.

Even if Xu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, the villagers didn't dare to make a sound, and the fate of the refugees was seen by the villagers, and many women were so frightened that they covered their eyes.

Time passed little by little, the sun receded, the bright moon rose, and there was silence around the grass, Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at the soldiers on the city wall who began to change shifts, waved his hand, and signaled the villagers to start moving.

They lowered their heads through the grass and ran all the way to the city gate, Xu Xiaoxiao looked up at the soldiers on the city wall as they walked, everyone stopped and stopped, and after the soldiers finished their shifts, they also successfully reached the side gate.

Xu Xiaoxiao knocked on the side door, there was a square window on the side door, the window opened and stretched out a hand, the palm of which was calloused and closed one by one towards her.

After a long while, she remembered the jade pendant that Chu Qing handed over to her, and she hurriedly took out the jade pendant from her arms and put the jade pendant on the palm of her hand.

After taking the jade pendant with the palm of his hand, he took it back and closed the small door.

After a while, the side door opened, and an old man with a lantern appeared on his back, and he waved at the crowd to signal them to enter quickly.

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, turned sideways to let the villagers enter first, and the villagers lowered their heads and entered the city one after another, until everyone entered safely, she finally entered the city and closed the side door.

Through the side door, he came to the city wall, and on the city wall was the footsteps of soldiers patrolling, the old man made a shushing motion, and the villagers nodded in their hearts.

Everyone followed the old man with light steps, and walked out of the city wall step by step, and came to the street.

The streets were empty at night, a carriage stopped at the front of the street, Chu Qing stood beside the carriage, and Wang Cui was still standing beside him.
