17 Chapter 17

Looking at the high city wall, Han Mufei also secretly sighed in his heart.

Gunzhou City, it's finally here.

She looked down and looked at her black clothes after living outdoors for four or five days, and she could imagine that she was definitely sloppy now, with an unkempt and dirty appearance, where was there any half of the elegant temperament of a noble lady of the Han Mansion?

But that's fine.

Han Mufei glanced around at the crowd in front of the city.

There are a lot of homeless people gathered here, and the appearance is no different from them, so she herself does not look obtrusive.

There were so many people outside the city gates, but the gates of the city of Gunzhou were closed.

Unlike the homeless people on the official road here, the homeless people here are all in batches, and many of them have set up straw huts and tents, and it seems that they have been living outside for a while.

Won't the city of Gunzhou let the exiles in? So how can they get in?

Han Mufei, Brother Chu and Song Laohan's family found a place to rest temporarily, and looked around, wanting to find a good homeless person to inquire about the situation.

Then I learned that a few days ago, there were officers and soldiers who came out to preside over order, and even contained some homeless people with long skills to enter the city, but later, I heard that the homeless people who came to Gongzhou City rioted and attacked a team of carriages (Han Mufei suspected that this was their Han family's convoy), especially Qingzhou Mansion, another city in Gunzhou City, there were homeless people who entered the city to make trouble, so the gate of Gunzhou City was closed, and only some old men in the city came out every day to give porridge or distribute some relief food, barely maintaining the stability outside.

"It's okay for you to come a few days earlier, but now you want to go into the city? It's late, it's night! ”

The uncle who introduced them to the situation sighed: "I also want to enter the city, if I can enter, you can still see me here and talk all this nonsense?" ”

Han Mufei took a few steps back in disappointment, looking at the dense crowd of homeless people, and also felt that there was not much chance.

"Sister, what should I do?"

They are going to Yuzhou, and this Gunzhou City is a necessary place, and it is impossible for them to go over the mountains and mountains to bypass Gunzhou City.

So, no matter what, you still have to find a way to get into the city.

Han Mufei went around with Brother Chu, and returned to the place where Song Laohan's family rested.

That Song Saburo and Sorghum also went to inquire about the situation, and got the same information as Han Mufei inquired, and everyone was fine.

Hurry up and hurry, I finally came here, but I couldn't enter the city, and I stared dry!

"It's impossible for the official master of Nafu City to leave us outside the city all the time, wait and see." Song Laohan, who had experience in escaping famine, comforted Sister Han Mufei.

Han Mufei had no choice but to nod.

During this period, many displaced people who came to the city of Gunzhou came outside the city one after another and rested on the spot.

Originally, when walking on the official road outside, the displaced people were scattered, at most, they were like Song Laohan's family acting in a household, in terms of numbers, Song Laohan and his party plus Han Mufei's sisters and brothers were also very powerful, and no one dared to provoke them easily.

But outside the city gate, as soon as the displaced people gathered out of these relationships, this small team of Song Laohan and Han Mufei and other women and children, who were mostly young, was quite inadequate.

Especially before they came to Fucheng, they found some more fruits to take with them to quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger, and at night, they were so hungry that they couldn't bear it, and when they took it out and secretly fed it to the soybeans and wheat, they couldn't help but be noticed, and some people came up to find fault.

"Yo, do you have anything to eat?"

"Okay, uncle, can you give us some?"

A group of hippie-faced homeless people approached and not only looked at the food in their hands, but also looked at what they had placed on the cart.

"No, we were on the way here, and we were lucky enough to pick a few fruits and give them to the children, everyone, didn't you see, we adults don't have to eat?" Song Laohan said.

"It's just that we just arrived today, and we haven't even drunk a sip of the porridge given by the good people, where is there anything to eat?" Song Sanlang also deliberately shouted loudly, made a look, and asked his daughter-in-law to quickly feed the child and finish eating those fruits.

Brother Chu on the side was trying to pinch a bird egg he picked out to eat, but seeing them so forced, he obediently hid the bird egg again.

Han Mufei saw that those people hadn't walked over, and subconsciously grabbed the bow bag from his back to his front, and when the situation was wrong, he immediately took the crossbow out to take precautions.

As a result, they were still explaining, and someone took the opportunity to push down all the things on the cart, and a group of homeless people who looked very fierce poured up, and Song Sanlang and Sorghum wanted to rush up, but they were stopped by Song Laohan.

The men rummaged for a while, but they couldn't find anything to eat, and they scattered.

"I said it all, we really don't have anything to eat, we really don't have anything to eat."

Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen Miss Han's sister and brother grilling fish that day, begging for a bite to eat!

Song Laohan was helpless, chattering, and together with Mrs. Song, he picked up the things that the homeless people turned over one by one and put them back on the cart and tied them up.

Han Mufei also went over to help, and then glanced at Brother Chu.

Fortunately, her pot and iron mesh and iron plate were all on Chu Ge'er's back, otherwise, looking at the iron tools, she might be collected and sold for money.

The night spent outside the city of Gunzhou was very unstable.

Everyone didn't dare to sleep, so they gathered around the cart, burned a pile of firewood, originally squatting, and then simply sat on the ground, and chatted a few words when the night was not deep and the spirit was not sleepy, and then felt that it was difficult to spend energy and saliva, so they were all silent.

The homeless people in the distance and near were whispering something, occasionally crying, screaming, and fighting with the robbery or something, and there was a lot of confusion.

But no one came out, and no one cared.

Han Mufei and Brother Chu were frightened when they heard this, sitting in the middle of Song Laohan's family, they couldn't help but be glad that they were not alone at this time.

Song Laohan's family is all hungry and experienced, they don't eat for a day or two, they can survive, not to mention eating well and sleeping well with Han Mufei's sisters and brothers in the past few days.

On the contrary, Han Mufei and Brother Chu are hungry for the second time.

They had no experience, and thought that they would be able to enter the city when they arrived in the capital of Gunzhou.

Especially Han Mufei, she thought that she would be able to eat and drink spicy food when she entered the city, after all, she had silver!

As a result, he is now trapped outside the city.

It's not for nothing to eat, Han Mufei also has a few boiled bird eggs in his bow bag, but with Fang Cai, everyone is watching, where do they dare to take them out and eat them?

So I could only be hungry, and I didn't dare to drink more water, so I was hungry all night.

In the middle of the night, when Han Mufei was drowsy, she felt a dark shadow flickering in front of her, and as soon as she opened her eyes suddenly, she saw that a sneaky person actually sneaked up to Song San's sister-in-law and reached out to touch the soybeans in her arms.

Han Mufei was shocked into a cold sweat and shouted angrily: "What are you doing?" ”

Everyone who was sleepy and half-squinted because of thirst suddenly woke up.

The man didn't expect to be discovered, so he ran up as soon as he grabbed the soybeans, and Brother Chu, who woke up immediately after his sister's drink, raised a silver gun and stopped him on the ground, which tripped the person and cried when he fell out.

The homeless man didn't see it well, so he quickly slipped away.

Song Sanlang wanted to chase, but he was a step late, and watched the man crawl into the tide of displaced people, and soon disappeared.

"San'er, how did you keep vigil?" When Song Laohan got up and reprimanded Song Sanlang loudly, Song San's sister-in-law had already picked up the soybeans on the ground and coaxed them gently, but her face was frightened.

"Dad, it's me who is bad, it's me who is wrong." Song Saburo was also ashamed.

He was actually very vigilant along the way, but he didn't expect that because he came to the outside of the city of Gunzhou, he suddenly relaxed his guard and almost had an accident.

"Have you forgotten how your second brother had an accident?" Song Laohan was heartbroken, and he was also annoyed that he almost took it lightly.

"Dad, I know it's wrong, I don't dare, I don't dare."

After Song Laohan taught his son, he turned to thank Han Mufei and Brother Chu.

Han Mufei waved his hand to Brother Chu: "Uncle Song, you're welcome, let's help each other, we should be." ”

Song Laohan nodded gratefully, chatted with his son, and went to see if the good grandson was okay.

"Wheat? Sorghum? ”

"We're fine!" Wheat and sorghum poked their heads out from under the cart and answered.

Song Laohan's family finally put their minds at ease.

"Sister? Why are they stealing soybeans? Brother Chu was puzzled.

Han Mufei touched Brother Chu'er's head and explained to him in a low voice why at this time, those homeless people were specifically targeting children the size of soybeans.

When I heard what a two-legged sheep was, Brother Chu felt bad, and this night was even more difficult.

Han Mufei was not surprised because he had heard about the old story that people who were mad and didn't even let go of babies in the last days, but he didn't expect to encounter it again in this Dayan Dynasty, and reminded himself that he must be more vigilant in the future.

It's not that she is boasting about herself, she and Brother Chu are estimated to look very delicious after washing, and it is inevitable that someone will beat them.
