Bai Guichen looked at the sword in his hand and said in a low voice: "No need, I'm afraid it won't be the era of using swords in the future." ”

As Bai Guichen spoke, he walked towards the ranks of soldiers who walked up to this place on the edge of the ridge not far away.

There were only about three or four people, but everyone had firecrackers on their backs.

The soldiers walked past Shu Yan and them, and one of them, who was slightly younger, said kindly to Shu Yan: "There is a porridge shed set up by the imperial court to the west, you should go quickly." ”

Shu Yan was a little stunned, and Cheng San touched his chin and said: "This old man Chen is the husband of the godmother, the godmother has some skills, the old man Chen will naturally know, we really have to live with our heads down." ”

Shu Yan glared at Cheng San, and she said: "What kind of pride to live with your head down, we are people who came here from other places to beg for a living, but don't say any more inexplicable words." ”

Cheng San smiled and nodded.

The group walked to the porridge shed set up by the imperial court, and the houses along the way were like houses, but they were different from the tragic situation in the south of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains.

Xiao Yu'er was extremely happy, she smiled and said, "Grandma, I really want to eat white flour steamed buns." ”

The wheat waves in the distance are illuminated by the setting sun, showing a misty beauty.

Shu Yan reached out and touched Xiao Yu'er's head, she smiled and said, "Okay." ”

The porridge shed set up by the imperial court was requisitioned from a temple, which was very large, but the Buddha statue in the main hall was knocked down and a large cauldron was set up.

Shu Yan and the others lined up, observing everything around them.

There is a very large ginkgo tree in the courtyard, and the tree is covered with yellow ginkgo leaves, which is extremely beautiful.

Shu Yan heard the people next to him talking about it.

It probably means that this was originally a private temple for a large family, but it was directly requisitioned by the marshal as a place for soup kitchens and the resettlement of displaced people.

Shu Yan and Cheng San glanced at each other, it seems that this old man Chen is indeed doing well in the northwest, but this time the Dog Emperor and his royal family are in Taiyuan.

When it was Shu Yan's turn, she also received four white steamed buns, saying that the elderly and children could receive them, and Shu Yan was immediately overjoyed.

Xiao Yu'er was even more greedy, and several people divided the steamed buns, with porridge, but neutralized the weeds and wild fruits that they had eaten in their stomachs for several months.

A few people went to the small lake of the temple to eat the food, Shu Yan stared at himself in the water, and suddenly sighed.

She is now as thin as a paper man, her eye sockets are deep, and she looks like she is more than seventy pounds at most, and Cheng San, who is the most robust, has also lost a lot of weight.

It really deserves to find a place to settle down.

This place is called Xiangcheng, located in the border of the land occupied by the imperial court, not rich, but most of its land belongs to the Hetao Plain, so it is rich in grain, but it is located in the border of Qilian Mountain, the transportation is inconvenient, but it is very suitable for taking root here.

After a few people had a meal, they left this place and walked straight towards Xiangcheng, the wall of Xiangcheng is not thick, but it is quite high, and there is no trace of siege above, it must be a long time of peace.

Shu Yan was satisfied, so he took a few people into the city, they first found a pawnshop, blocked Bai Guichen's sword, and then found a cheap inn to live in first.

Shu Yan was covered with a soft quilt, and there were some tears in his eyes for a while.

The road was bumpy, but it was finally relatively stable.

Bai Guichen's sword was sold for 10 taels of silver, which was a huge amount of money, so they ordered another supper.

Although they are all steamed bread and cakes, they are also extraordinarily sweet, and the stomachs of the little fish are enlarged.

The little guy touched his belly, lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling and said, "Grandma, let's stay here, I like it here." ”

Cheng San on the side wiped his mouth and said in a low voice: "My suggestion is to stay, but it's best not to keep it." ”

Shu Yan naturally understands the meaning of this guy, and he can run away at any time without constant production.

Early in the morning of the second day, several people quit the house and rented a rural house in Sanshui Village outside the city, and the head of the household made a fortune in business and moved his family to the city, and there were still three acres of land in the village, which was very in line with Shu Yan's requirements.

It's not safe to do anything else, but farming is indeed the safest.

There is a Sanshui River near this Sanshui Village, the river is very shallow, there are some small fish and shrimp in it, but it is too small, and the village uses it to feed chickens and ducks.

After paying a year's rent, he spent two taels of silver, and the landlord also gave Shu Yan his abandoned pond.

The water in the pond had long since dried up and was overgrown with weeds, but Shu Yan was a little satisfied.

She asked Cheng San to go to the city to buy some furniture, and then Shu Yan and the rest of the people cleaned up in the yard.

There was a soaphorn tree in the yard, and there was a soaphorn on the ground, and there were two deserted meadows in the yard, and a pigsty and a sheepfold.

The house is very large, with six rooms, and the head of the house can do one room for one person. Outside, in a low house, is the kitchen.

The aqua toilet also had to be cleaned up.

Shu Yan took people to be busy all day, tired and had back pain, and finally cleaned up this home.

Although the house is rented, and the family members around him are not close, Shu Yan looked at this neat and tidy small courtyard, and he actually had a feeling of family.

Cheng San pushed a small cart in, and there were large and small packages on the cart, and this guy obviously bought a lot of things.

Xiao Yu'er suddenly ran over in surprise, and Cheng San handed over a bag of meat buns.

"Freshly released."

The little fish ate one and jumped up happily.

Cheng San took down the things he bought one by one.

There are clothes, quilts, farm tools, all kinds of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, and all kinds of cooking utensils.

Shu Yan suddenly smiled.

"You kid is quite good at getting by, wait a while, my godmother will show you a hand."

When Bai Guichen heard Shu Yan say this, he hurriedly grabbed Shu Yan's hand, and he said, "Godmother, let me come." ”

Bai Guichen took his things to the kitchen to cook.

Shu Yan and Cheng San moved two chairs and sat under the soaphorn tree, drinking the coarse tea that had just been brewed.

Shu Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's like a dream."

Cheng San, the kid, said: "I saw a lot of royal private soldiers in the city just now, so we have to keep a low profile." ”

Shu Yan glanced at Cheng San, and she rubbed her forehead.

"You can't tell me later."

Cheng San touched his chin and suddenly said something thoughtlessly.

"Godmother, our family lacks a woman, why don't you go and take in a goddaughter?"

Shu Yan was suddenly helpless, Cheng San, the kid, began to talk nonsense again, but after thinking about it, she claimed that she was the grandmother of the family, with two sons and three grandchildren, and her daughter-in-law was dead.

It's a little strange that both daughters-in-law are dead, but where did she get a goddaughter?
