"No, it's too dangerous, let's let your second uncle go and take a look!"

Mrs. Song really didn't worry about Song Jinyue, remembering that Song Hailong was good at climbing trees, so she shouted Song Hailong from afar and asked him to come here.

Song Hailong came over with a basket of mushrooms, listened to Mrs. Song's explanation, and then glanced at the quail eggs in Song Jinyue's hand, nodded, put the basket on his back, picked a tree, and quickly climbed up.

"Second uncle, you have to be careful!" Song Jinyue shouted loudly below.

After Song Hailong went up the tree, he quickly reached the bird's nest, and when he looked inside, there were really a lot of bird eggs, and he picked them up one by one.

After getting off the tree, I climbed several more trees one after another, and got nearly a hundred quail eggs, after which I couldn't find a single one again.

"So much!"

Looking at this pile of small and delicate bird eggs, the whole family is very happy, although this egg is not enough for a mouthful, but there are a lot of them!

"I didn't expect so many eggs to come out of this nest!"

Song Hailong wiped his sweat and sat on the ground to rest for a moment before slowly getting up.

Some villagers who were close to saw that the Song family had turned over so many bird eggs, and they stopped digging vegetables, so they went to find the trees that Song Hailong had never visited, and went up the trees one after another to dig out the bird's nest.

Seeing this, Song Jinyue secretly put a hundred quail eggs in some bird's nests with her mind, otherwise it would be too suspicious for them to find bird eggs.

"Oh, there are eggs"

"I count, one, two, three, ......"

There were eggs on the trees, and the news spread like the wind among the villagers.

Next, in order to get the eggs, everyone stopped digging vegetables, and climbed the trees to find the eggs one by one, not only the villagers of Stone Village, but also the fellow escapees also roared to the trees, for fear that if they were one step too late, the eggs would be gone.

But Song Jinyue didn't put it until it was dark, and the people behind didn't find a bird's egg.

The Song family obtained the most bird eggs, cooked a hundred quail eggs in the pot, took out a third of them, and kept the rest to eat when they were in a hurry.

"A little quail egg, I can't imagine that it tastes quite satisfying!"

Song Haitao savored the fragrance of eggs diffused between his lips and tongue, looking intoxicated, and he didn't know what delicacies he was eating.

Han Ling only ate one, and he put the remaining three in his pocket, obviously reluctant to eat.

Finally, after passing several empty post stations one after another, everyone finally saw hope.

Ahead, a striking golden plaque comes into view.

"Water Cloud City!"

"We're finally saved!"

Both the deserters and the villagers of Stone Village were overjoyed.

At the gate of the city, you can see several sheds, in which there are several large iron pots, which are very thin porridge, and a few soldiers are guarding the side to maintain order.

In the back, there was a long line of refugees, all anxiously waiting with bowls.

"Let's go over too!"

The villagers of Stone Village carried their burdens and also went to line up, and many of them ran out of food yesterday, and now there are people at the gate of the city who give porridge, which simply saves their lives.

After everyone finished making porridge, they chatted with the surrounding villagers and asked about the shelter of displaced people in Shuiyun City.

Most of these villagers are people living in nearby villages, because of the drought, there is no grain harvest, so they come to the city gate with their families to wait for the soup kitchen, only a few days after the court relief grain is distributed, then go back to their respective homes.

Many people are still willing to answer the questions of the villagers in Stone Village.

"The enemy army invaded from the west before, and many villages in the west are now vacant, if you have money, you should be able to settle here!"

"How much does it cost?"

As soon as they heard that they were asking for money, many homeless people were worried.

"Two taels of silver."

"Every household?"

"Everyone!"

"Ah, isn't this a money grab?"

After receiving an exact answer, many people frowned.

Song Jinyue calculated, the Song family now has a lot of silver on hand, and the Han brothers got ten taels, and the dead robbers were searched on the road, and the seven people were fourteen taels, which should be enough.

Mrs. Song was obviously relieved to learn that her family had enough money, and looked at the others again, Liu Guisheng nodded, he had been treating people all these years and had some savings in hand.

The Huang family and the Li family have a lot of labor, plus they have scavenged the money of the bandits, which is basically enough.

Only the old Yang family, because his father is immoral and likes to gamble, left a debt to Lao Yang before he died, in order to repay the debt for his father, the conditions of his family are not too bad, but there must not be much money?

"How much is missing?"

Mrs. Song stepped forward to ask, she is like this, people helped her once, and she is grateful for a lifetime.

"Sister-in-law Song, don't ask, take the children into the city first!"

Yang Manfu shook his head, looking like he didn't want to say more.

"Uncle Yang, you are out of sight, over the years, you have not helped us less, how much money is missing from your family, you might as well say it, maybe we can help you."

"Of course, if you don't want to go, let's keep the account first, and when will we pay it back!"

Song Haitao stepped forward happily, and a sentence made hope rise in Yang Manfu's eyes.

His family has three sons and one daughter, two of whom have married wives, and have a grandson under their knees, plus their old two, a total of nine people, and the money in their hands is only ten taels when they are full, and most of them are still looting robbers.

"That's done, eight taels of silver, I'll lend it to your house first!"

Song Haitao flipped his wrist, and a shiny jade pendant appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Xu Tiansheng hurriedly stepped forward, just now Shen Hong's family had left him behind, and he had already paid the silver and entered the city, and he was at a loss when he saw Song Haitao holding his jade pendant in his hand.

"Song Haitao, this jade pendant is worth at least twenty taels of silver, the food you gave me is not worth this price, you have to bring me when you enter the city!"

Xu Tiansheng had an expression of almost crying, the helplessness of being abandoned, and the pain of unfoundable relatives.

"What are the big men crying and crying!"

Song Haitao snorted, thinking about what kind of scenery this person had when he came to his door, I don't know if he regretted falling in love with that Shen Cui at the beginning.

"Alright, Haitao, let's take him in!"

Mrs. Song saw that this Xu Tiansheng was really pitiful, and it was also due to motherhood, and that jade pendant was indeed worth a lot of money, so she nodded and agreed, how could those few mouthfuls of food along the way really be like what Haitao said, one or two silver for a meal.

As soon as Xu Tiansheng heard that Mrs. Song agreed to take him, the tears that flowed were called a murderer, and he knelt directly in front of Mrs. Song.

"Aunt Song, I was arrogant before, and I apologize to you."

At this moment, in his eyes, the Song family is tantamount to a savior, how the Shen Hong family entered the city, it was not by the bracelet he gave Shen Cui at the beginning, he begged them to take him with him, but was ruthlessly pushed away.

How fierce he was crying at the moment, how much he regretted it in his heart, how good it would have been if he hadn't known Shen Cui at the beginning.

Mrs. Song and the others followed Liu Guisheng and others to the gate of the city, and immediately there were guards blocking the road.

"Do you know the rules for entering the city?"

"Of course I do!"

Liu Guisheng and the others nodded, and then took out the silver money from their pockets.

Mrs. Song first paid her own money, and then went to the city with Song Hailong, found a pawn shop to pawn the jade pendant, and then paid the handling fee to the Yang family and Xu Tiansheng, and everyone entered the city gate.
