In addition to the beginning, the city did not accept the displaced people, and some people were killed or injured and left without a trace, which made the progress of the investigation very slow.

However, Qin Xuanmo did not give up, and it was certain that the key was indeed on him when Zhou Tianqi escaped, so the missing key was most likely among the homeless.

Not only Qin Xuanmo was investigating, Jin Hou would naturally not eat in vain after suffering such a big loss, and after the later investigation, he also focused on the displaced people.

Wan Qingkong didn't know that the things she picked up secretly pulled the hearts of so many people, and she had already entered the city at this time.

Wan Qingtian and the others cleaned themselves up briefly before they arrived in the city, so that they didn't look too much like refugees.

The Cheng family also did the same, although they still looked dusty, but they didn't look like they were fleeing after all.

Maybe they came early, maybe they had a better relationship, anyway, Wan Qingkong and the Cheng family entered the city smoothly.

Hecheng is completely different from the small county town where the Wang family was located before, and it is indeed the second largest city in Yandi, the streets are wide and atmospheric, and the spirit of the people is enough.

"Brother Qi He, our two families are not familiar with each other, and we always need a place to stay.

If you don't have any specific places for the time being, why don't we rent a courtyard together? In this way, the cost can be reduced, and when you have more money, you can plan for something else? ”

The old man of the Cheng family took Qi He's hand and said, Qi He looked at Wan Qingtian, saw that she had no objection, and nodded.

Although the Cheng family is an ordinary family, the population is still quite large, and there are many adult men in the family, so they inquired about the news quickly, and soon found a suitable place for them to live from a shawl.

It was a courtyard with six rooms and two stoves, and Wan Qingtian asked for two rooms and paid one-third of the room fee.

Even so, it costs two taels of silver per month, which shows the high price of goods in the city.

In addition to Old Man Cheng, the Cheng family also has two sons and a little daughter, except for the youngest daughter, they are all married.

So except for the youngest daughter with a few children living in a room that is a little crowded, everyone else is better, although the house is much smaller than in the past, but to have such a place to stay, the Cheng family is very happy.

The two sons of the Cheng family are very diligent, one is a carpenter, the other usually farms at home, and most of the money is usually handed over to Old Man Cheng for safekeeping, and there are not too many contradictions.

It's just that now I can't farm the land, and the family's expenses are all borne by the younger son, and it is easy to have an accident after a long time.

Old man Cheng is a smart man, so he let his eldest son drive a car in the city every day.

Although he doesn't make much money, but fortunately, he has a lot of work in Hecheng, and finally solves the problem of the big house, and the daughter-in-law of the big house can also do it, and she can usually get some clothes and the like, so the Cheng family can still maintain it at present.

Qi He also wanted to go out to pull the oxcart, how could Wan Qingtian agree? Besides, she is about to give birth, and she still needs Qi He to preside over the overall situation at home.

"Dad, we still have a lot of money in our hands, and I'll be trying to make money after I finish my confinement.

As for the ox cart, it is better to lend it to the eldest grandson of the Cheng family, let him work with his father, and let them help us clean up and cook every day. ”

The Cheng family is naturally grateful, after all, in Hecheng, ox carts pick up people and goods, even if they earn less, they can have about twenty copper plates every day.

Wanjia only asked them to help with some simple household chores, which was so simple, so both parties were happy.

Wan Qingkong found a good midwife, arranged the delivery room again, and set aside a place in the house for Wang Jiaojiao to live.

Originally, Wang Jiaojiao had been living with Wan Qingkong, but after that, it was a little inconvenient for Wan Qingkong to go to confinement, but fortunately, the house was relatively large and enough to live, so I just made a partition.

"I'm going to give birth in two months, I hope you're safe and sound."

Qi He is very much looking forward to the baby in Wan Qing's empty belly, that is, Wang Jiaojiao has walked out of the haze of the death of her parents and is looking forward to the arrival of her little nephew.

Wan Qingkong smiled and touched her belly, she was also looking forward to the arrival of this little life.

On this day, the eldest son of the Cheng family came back, but his face was very ugly, and when the Cheng family asked, his face also changed.

"Uncle Qi, my father invited you to the yard, he heard some news, and my grandfather asked you to listen to it too."

Qi He nodded, Wan Qingtian was sleeping at this time, he didn't call her, but the news that Cheng Da brought back was not good.

"I am pulling a man who runs a merchant from outside, and he said that there has been an epidemic in other places, and there are many refugees gathered outside the city, and the city is no longer allowed to enter or leave."

"Then we're not going to be kicked out, are we?"

Cheng Er looked worried, they had just stabilized, if they were taken away, it would be bad, and there might be an epidemic outside, and going out would be a dead end.

"Probably not, it's just that we've been careful lately not to expose too many things."

Qi He said that he was not worried about anything else, but about the clear sky.

If there is really an epidemic, then the city will definitely be closed, and there will be a shortage of doctors and doctors, the key is that people came and went in the city some time ago, and even now there is no guarantee that the epidemic will not come in.

"Stock up on more supplies."

Before, because Wan Qingkong was going to produce, she had already bought a lot of things for backup, and after listening to Qi He's words, she decided to prepare more, but not to mention anything else, the price has been getting longer.

"Huh? It's you? Madame, do you remember me? ”

Wan Qingtian and Qi He were sitting in an ox cart, and suddenly a surprised male voice came from the side.

Wan Qingkong looked sideways, it was actually the unlucky little master?

"Remember, what a coincidence."

"Thank you Madame last time, but I haven't had time to thank Madame for saving my life.

That day, Mrs. left without leaving a word, if it weren't for the fact that I still had a trace of clarity, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that Mrs. saved me.

This is our Jin family's shop, and Madame and this old man come in and sit down. ”

Jin Yutang pointed to the shop not far away and said, Wan Qingkong saw that it was a fabric shop, nodded, only Qi He saw the family emblem on the plaque, his eyes moved slightly.

"You're welcome, I just happened to catch up, and the son was lucky."

Wan Qingkong smiled and waved her hand, completely forgetting that she had slapped others several times.

"Madame, this is about to give birth, right? Why did it come out again? Who is this? ”

"This is my father, and it's because I'm about to give birth that I have to prepare more things."

Sitting on the second floor of the shop, Wan Qingkong once again expressed his admiration for Jin Yutang's net worth.

Sure enough, it is the young master of a rich and noble family, and it is very expensive.

"What about Madame's husband? How can you make a pregnant woman work? ”

Jin Yutang had a lot of speculations flashing through his mind at this time, and he couldn't help but look at Wan Qingkong's eyes with some pity.
