Chapter 20: Into the City

Xia Qiyue lowered her head and cried, but her eyes lit up, she sorted out her emotions, and raised her head, "Okay, it's only like this, September, Xinghe, pack your luggage and go to the city!" ”

After speaking, he hugged Xuan'er and got up, "September, put Ke'er in the back basket and carry it on my back!" ”

Everything was done in one go, but it seemed to the patriarch and Li Zheng that she was in a hurry because the child fainted.

A woman's family is already very powerful to be able to do this, and both of them have to admire it.

Seeing that Xia Qiyue was carrying one on his back and holding one, and two more were about to leave, the patriarch was busy in the crowd to find his second son An Youde and ask him to escort them into the city.

didn't forget to give his son some copper plates, but when he turned his head, he saw Old Man An coughing dryly, pretending not to understand and scratching his head, and then saw his fifth elder An Zihao running over and directly asked him to follow An Youde over.

After the two of them followed Xia Qiyue, they took the luggage in Xia Jiu and Xia Xinghe's hands, because Xia Qi didn't let them touch her children at all.

Xia Qiyue was still glad that An Youde and An Zihao sent them over, because there were so many people here, it would be a little difficult for her to squeeze in, but she didn't plan to take these two people in.

When she arrived at the city gate, she turned her head and thanked her, "Fifth brother, you are virtuous, you go back, I will take the children in." ”

An Zihao didn't have any opinions, nodded, and handed the luggage to Xia Jiujiu.

And An Youde got his father's order to escort them in, so he was a little worried and said that he should follow up, Xia Qiyue didn't let them, only let them go back first, she will come out tomorrow, and then trouble them to come here to pick up people.

In the end, An Youde nodded, and then gave the luggage to Xia Xinghe and went back.

Xia Qiyue came to the city gate guard, reported his name, gave silver, and entered the city smoothly.

Although one person asked for ten copper plates, and he had to come out the next day, there were still many people who went in, and many people came in and out.

Xia Qiyue's sharp eyes found that the lips of the people who came out of the wrong place with them were rosy and peelless, so it seemed that there was a water source in the city, unlike the village below, where the well did not produce water at all.

Her pace was quicker, and she followed the flow of people into the city.

Most of them are refugees who have fled and spent money to come in, and there are not many shops open.

"Eldest sister, let's hurry up and find the doctor, I still have a pair of silver bracelets that my mother wore before her death, which can be sold to Xuan'er for medical treatment..."

Xia Jiu looked around anxiously, trying to find a pharmacy.

Xia Qiyue put the son he was holding in his arms on the ground, and it was only at this time that An Qingxuan opened his eyes and stood on the ground, his eyes full of cunning.

"Sister, aunt, uncle, you don't have to worry, Xuan'er is fine, this is all the way my mother came up with!"

After explaining the reason, Xia Qiyue took his younger brothers and sisters to walk on the streets of the county seat.

It's still crowded, but there aren't many vendors, all of them are refugees.

Xia Jiujiu had to sell the pair of bracelets, because she saw that the grain and oil shop was still open, and she wanted to sell the bracelets for silver to buy food.

"Okay, let's keep the bracelet well, it's not enough to sell jewelry." After Xia Qiyue finished speaking, he took the lead and walked to the street.

The sister and brother didn't know why, the two children in the basket had already been dazzled, so they let Xia Qiyue arrange it.

It wasn't until Xia Qiyue went to knock on the door of a rich man's back house that Xia Jiuyue pulled her arm with some fear.

My sister didn't know where to get a bag of food, saying that she told them to wait, and after one person went to relieve herself, there was it, and I didn't know what kind of food it was, but she was sure that it was food.

"Don't worry! We'll have money for the hotel in a moment! ”

Xia Qiyue turned around, smiled comfortingly, and comforted himself.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one at the dead end just now, she hurriedly harvested a batch of wheat and planted another crop, so she packed up forty-eight catties of wheat and took it out.

Fortunately, the bag of fine grains given by Lin Xiucai was big enough, and she poured the remaining fine grains into the bag of wild vegetable buns at home, which was just right to use.

Xia Jiujiu was still a little scared, but adhering to the family rules, she didn't say anything, and stood by her sister's side worriedly.

After a while, a voice sounded from behind the door, "Let's go, the lord's house has no rations, and there is nothing for you!" ”

This is the eighteenth time that Mama Su has driven people out, since the refugees entered the city, the back door of the house has to be knocked countless times every day, at first she can still sympathize with it, give a stutter, but later, it is really unbearable.

Now that there is a disaster, not to mention the common people, there is nothing to eat in the kitchen of the master's house, fortunately, the grain and oil shop has not closed, but what is it selling? Coarse! Sometimes coarse grains have to be grabbed.

At first, the refugees who fled the famine were about to be robbed if they were not careful, and the grain and oil shops were also difficult.

Xia Qiyue heard the voice and hurriedly explained, "Butler, grandma, we are not here to beg, we can't hide it, my child is sick, so I came here to sell our rations and get some silver to go to the doctor." ”

This excuse is too good to be used repeatedly.

When Mama Su heard that she was going to sell rations, she thought again, it couldn't be some wild vegetables and steamed buns or something, don't the countrymen always eat these things.

However, wild vegetable buns are also fine, and they can at least be eaten by the next person when they are bought.

The lord's family has sold a number of subordinates, just because they can't afford to eat.

So she opened a corner door and saw a little woman carrying a child on her back and two and a half children, and she relaxed her guard a little.

"What rations? Take it out and take a look, for your pitiful sake, if you can eat it, I'll buy it all! ”

When Xia Qiyue heard it, she was happy, and some said that it would be fine, so she hurriedly stepped forward with a bag of wheat.

"Butler, look at this, the family grows it themselves, who knows that the child is sick on the way, and the man is not at home when he joins the army, so he has to sell this ration for silver!"

As she spoke, she opened the cloth bag, and when Mama Su saw that it was such a good fine grain, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Hurriedly welcomed Xia Qiyue in, "Oh, big girl, you are bold enough, you dare to walk on the street with so many rations, hurry up and come in!" ”

With so much food, Mama Su couldn't be the master at all, so she quickly welcomed people in and asked the people below to inform Madame.

It didn't take long for the little girl to come back and bring Xia Qiyue and the others in.

The little girl must have made them clear to the lady of the main family, so after Xia Qiyue and the others went in, the lady of the main family didn't ask anything, and asked her to sit down first.

Seeing the dry lips of the five people, she couldn't help it, but asked the little girl to pour a small cup of water for each of the five people.

"Little lady, don't be polite, I see that you are also thirsty, although I can't give you enough water to quench your thirst, at least relieve it..."

Xia Qiyue hurriedly put down the two children, and then thanked him, "Thank you Mrs. for sending water, this is now a precious thing, Mrs. Bodhisattva's heart, and the little woman is grateful." ”

After saying that, I felt tongue-twisting, a little awkward about the ancient Rory.
