Chapter 32: Into the City

The village chief touched the non-existent tobacco leaves in his hand and finally decided.

"Let's go into the city, let's go in, we won't go in."

The village chief's idea is very simple, with the money to go to the city, it is better to buy more food, they don't have to go to the city, they can ask Shen Yunqing to help.

The village chief spoke his thoughts, and the villagers all nodded, only a voice came from the crowd: "I want to enter the city!" I'm going to my family. ”

Shen Yunqing and the others looked back and saw that it was Zhang Xiaolian who ran forward from the back of the team.

After she crashed into a stone and fainted last time, Shen Yunqing found that the people in her uncle's family had disappeared, so she had no choice but to throw Zhang Xiaolian on a wooden cart and pull her away.

Ever since she knew that Shen Yuyan had fallen off the cliff, she hated Shen Yunqing to the core, thinking that it was Shen Yunqing who harmed Shen Yuyan.

Like a scoundrel along the way, she goes crazy if she doesn't give her something to eat.

The villagers didn't bother with her.

In this way, Zhang Xiaolian cheated all the way to Yangcheng.

"Ten cents for a toll to enter the city, do you have it?" The aunt on the side kindly reminded.

"Qing girl, you killed Yuyan, what's wrong with some tolls? If I can't get in, don't even think about it! ”

She's going to go into the city to find her son, and her brother, and she has to go into the city!

They had discussed it and met in Yangcheng.

Shen Yunqing didn't care about the ten cents, the injuries on her mother and third aunt couldn't be delayed, she didn't want to delay any longer.

"I'll say it again, I didn't kill Shen Yuyan, she wanted to escape by herself, and then accidentally fell off the cliff, I can pay this ten cents, but it is for my mother to go to treatment as soon as possible!"

"I'll take you into the city, after entering the city, let's separate, you didn't want to go to the capital at the beginning, just enough to settle in Yangcheng."

Zhang Xiaolian snorted and scolded: "Who wants to go with you, I really think I'm great!" ”

In any case, Zhang Xiaolian is only willing to believe what she believes.

There was no way to communicate anymore, Shen Yunqing turned her head to ask the villagers what they needed, and she wrote them all down on a list all the way.

When it was almost noon, Shen Yunqing and the others successfully entered Yangcheng.

After walking around the streets for a long time, I didn't see a single pharmacy, and there were very few people on the street.

Shen Yunqing couldn't help but wonder: Yangcheng is the first fortress in the northwest of Liguo, and it is many times more prosperous than Rongcheng on the border.

This is also the reason why the emperor sent King Ning to garrison Yangcheng in person.

But now in such a big town, the streets are full of people, and many shops are closed.

Zhang Xiaolian entered the city gate and walked in the other direction.

Now only Shen Yunqing and the Lin family are left, and Yang Xiu is carrying Yunjiao on his back.

A group of four people wandered around the street like headless flies, and Lin and Yang Xiu were injured and walked slower.

"If this continues, when do you have to find a way to go?"

It's really strange that there is not a single pharmacy in several streets in the entire Yangcheng, let alone a pharmacy, not even a pharmacy.

Isn't anyone sick in Yangcheng?

Shen Yunqing pulled the uncle who was passing by and asked, "Uncle, where is the nearest pharmacy or pharmacy here?" I'm looking for a doctor? ”

The uncle looked at Shen Yunqing as if he was looking at a monster, "Looking for a doctor?" The doctors in Yangcheng have all been arrested, and there are no doctors, and the pharmacies have been emptied. ”

"Why?"

The uncle was shocked: "You are from out of town, right?" ”

"Well, yes."

"No wonder, did you pay the toll when you entered the city?"

Shen Yunqing and the others nodded at the same time: "Uncle, can you tell me what happened?" Why are there so few people on the streets? Are the shops closed? ”

The uncle seemed to be in a hurry to answer their questions, impatiently answered their questions, waved his hand and refused to say, only pointed to a general direction: "Then, five miles away from the outskirts of the city, there is a Langzhong, who may still be there, you go there and have a look, maybe he will treat you." ”

After that, he disappeared into the street without looking back.

Shen Yunqing had a hunch in his heart, this Yang City was not as safe as the legends outside, and since he came in, it was important to treat the disease first.

She followed the direction that the uncle said, and really found a herb shed five miles away on the outskirts of the city, and there were one or two people standing at the door.

"This year, Li Langzhong can still come out to treat us."

"Who's to say it isn't! Maybe one day he will die in Yangcheng, and now he can't get out, and if he comes in, he will die! ”

When Shen Yunqing heard this, he was even more puzzled, and stepped forward to speak: "This brother, what do you mean by not being able to say it just now?" How can you die if you come in? ”

A scholar in his twenties replied, "You don't know yet? Yangcheng is catching strong men, the city defense force is insufficient, the strong men in the city are gone, and now the younger ones, regardless of gender, all have to defend the city. ”

"Even the doctor was taken to the barracks."

"I heard that King Ning brought 100,000 soldiers to defend Yang City, didn't Bai Di come to attack the city yet? Why did you start catching strong men? Shen Yunqing felt that they must have read or heard it wrong.

"Who knows, anyway, not only those who are in the city will have to be recruited, but those outside the city will have to pay money to enter the city, and the old ones will not be allowed to enter the city!"

The two were in a hurry to see a doctor, and they didn't tell Shen Yunqing in detail.

By the time it was Shen Yunqing's turn, it was already dark.

An oil lamp was lit in the herb shed, and Li Lang Zhongzai carefully cleaned the wounds for Lin and Yang Xiu, and instructed the wounds not to touch the water in the past few days, and to apply some ointment every day, and apply it for ten days in a row before the wounds could heal.

"Doctor, we just heard the man say outside......"

"Listen to the accent, the girl is a foreigner?"

Shen Yunqing: "Yes, we are from Nan'an Village, Rongcheng. ”

"Girl, listen to my advice, run early, Yangcheng is no longer the original Yangcheng."

Seeing that the doctor had cleaned up the wound, Lin simply cleaned it up for himself, and asked, "Doctor, can you tell me what happened in Yangcheng?" ”

Li Langzhong shook his head: "How do we ordinary people know what happened, we only know that people are arrested every day, and they have to pay a lot of taxes, and it is not enough to hand over all the land for a year of crops." ”

"Those who opened the shop have worked hard for a few years, and all of them have been confiscated."

"Some sharp-eyed ones have already run away, but now they don't necessarily run out if they want to!"

Shen Yunqing saw that Lin and Yang Xiu's injuries were almost cleaned up, and it was dark outside, so he simply didn't hurry to hurry and sat down in the herbal medicine shed.

"Then why don't you run Li Langzhong?"

Li Langzhong stood up and cut the core of the dimly burned candle flame, and the room instantly lit up.

"There are still many old and sick people in the city who can't walk, someone has to take care of them, I'm old, I can't walk anymore, if you want to arrest me to guard the city wall, I will die for the country."

His words were plain, I didn't know, I thought he was just talking about which shop's rice cakes were delicious recently.

"Girl, the injury on your mother's body is not particularly serious, now that it has been dealt with, there is no big problem, listen to my advice, let's leave early!"
