  Chapter 12, The Beggar Goes to the Yamen

  Zhongzhou Fufu City.

   Countless refugees crowded outside the city gate, sitting together in twos and threes. These people were numb, hopeful, or desperate looking at the closed gate.

  At this moment, Daohua and several people are also in the refugees, their faces are not very good.

   "I finally came to Fucheng, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even enter the city gate." Daohua looked bored.

  Xiao Yeyang opened the mouth and said: "This situation is normal. A refugee riot broke out not long ago. Now that the city gate is opened, the refugees flooded into the city. Who knows that something will happen?"

  Ina Flower: "But with so many refugees gathered here, the government can't say nothing about it?"

   "Who said that I don't care?"

Someone interjected next to   .

  Ina Hua immediately looked over: "Old man, do you know any news?"

  Seeing that everyone around him looked over, the talking old man turned his body straight, coughed a few times, and said: "Yesterday I was wandering at the gate of the city and heard the guards and soldiers say that a high official from Beijing came the other day."

   "The Li Daguan of Beijing?"

   "Isn't it? I heard that a lot of soldiers came with me. Our north is suffering from a drought. The officials from Beijing are here to help the disaster."

  Hearing this, everyone else looked excited, but Xiao Yeyang's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

  At noon, officers and soldiers from the city came out, carrying a bucket of steaming rice.

  As soon as they appeared, the refugees swarmed over in an instant.

  In just a moment, a long queue lined up outside the city gate.

   Daohua asked Sun Ma to guard the old lady Yan, while she took Yan Wentao and went to line up with Uncle Sun, Xiao Yeyang, and Zhao Ergou.

  There is no way, they have thrown away their baggage. Although they still have the silver ticket, they cannot enter the city and cannot exchange it. They can only queue up to receive the porridge.

  While waiting in line, Xiao Yeyang didn't know what he saw, and suddenly ran out of the line. Zhao Ergou rolled his eyes when he saw it, glanced at Daohua who was queuing up the porridge, gritted his teeth, and quickly followed.

  When Yan Wentao told Daohua, she turned her head and only hurriedly saw the backs of the two disappear among the crowded refugees.

   Daohua narrowed her eyebrows: "What are the two of them doing?"

  Yan Wentao shook his head: "I don't know, Yeyang seems to have seen something."

   Daohua's expression moved: "It doesn't matter if they are anymore, we take the porridge, and my grandmother is hungry all night."

  Yan Wentao can do nothing.

  In his eyes, Xiao Yeyang and Zhao Ergou are just two passers-by, how can they compare with their own grandmother and sister.

After more than half an hour in line, Daohua, Yan Wentao, and Uncle Sun received three bowls of gruel.

  The old lady Yan looked at her grandchildren distressedly: “It’s okay to have this experience, let you taste the difficulties of life in advance.” After speaking, she sighed and watched left and right.

   "Why don't Yang boy and Er Gouzi come back? Could something be wrong?"

   Daohua had no bottom in her heart: "I shouldn't, Xiao Yeyang looks very smart."

  The old lady Yan shook her head: "No matter how smart he is, he is now only a half-year-old child. When he meets an adult, he will only suffer."

  Yan Wentao: "Why don't I find Uncle Sun and I?"

  The old lady Yan thought for a moment: "Don't go far, just look at the attachment. If people are really lost, it should be their life."

  Yan Wentao and Uncle Sun left, Daohua sat back next to the old lady Yan, and muttered, “It’s not that bad.”

   However, thinking that Xiao Yeyang would meet the unfortunate attributes of human traffickers casually, I was not sure.

  After a while, Yan Wentao and Sun Bo came back dejectedly.

  The two shook their heads at the old lady Yan and Inahua.

   Daohua smiled reluctantly: "Didn't Xiao Yeyang see someone? Maybe it's his family. He might have gone home now. If Zhao Ergou follows him, nothing will happen."

  The old lady Yan sighed: "I hope."

  I said so, and several people still look forward to their return.

  In any case, after spending so much time together, they are not at ease if they don’t see whether they are safe or not.

  Unfortunately, Xiao Yeyang and Zhao Ergou did not come back that night.

  The next day, the two still disappeared.

Daohua looked at the still closed city gate, and then at the much thinner old lady Yan: "Grandma, I don't know how long this city gate will be opened before it will open. Xiao Yeyang and Zhao Ergou will probably not come back. No, or, shall we go?"

  The old lady Yan was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Go, go slowly, we are begging along the road, and we have to go to Linyi County."

   Daohua smiled and whispered: "Of course, you forgot that your granddaughter still has a silver ticket." If you can't enter Fucheng, it's impossible for one of the other cities on the road to enter.

  Ten thousand steps back and said, even if these cities can't enter, then you can always meet one or two wealthy households. At that time, if you suffer a big loss, you can definitely get money.

  Even if they take a step back and can’t exchange money, Daohua can guarantee that they can reach Linyi County safely. Don’t forget, she still has a space, how can she secretly take out some food so that everyone will not die of starvation.

  On the third day, when the sky was slightly bright, Daohua left Fucheng and walked towards Linyi County.

  Shortly after they left, a group of soldiers in armor suddenly came outside the city gate. These soldiers searched among the refugees for a period of time, and finally returned without success.

—

  After half a month.

  The five people of Daohua, who are shaped like beggars, looked at the stone stele inscribed with the three characters ‘Linyi County’ with tears in their eyes.

   "Grandma, after this stone monument, we will enter Linyi County."

   "Good, good, good!"

  The old lady Yan said three good words with sobs.

   Daohua was also relieved in her heart.

  In ancient times, as long as she rides in a carriage, she will complain about the bumps and instability of the carriage, but after walking for more than half a month, she will never complain about it anymore.

  The carriage is better than walking on two legs, even if it turns upside down.

   "Go, you can see your parents soon."

  Inahana took a look at the clothes they were wearing, and asked: "Grandma, if we go to see my father like this, will they?"

  The old lady Yan immediately widened her eyes: "What will happen? Is it possible that he still dares to dislike me?"

   Daohua smiled bitterly.

  He will not dislike the old lady, but he will dislike her.

  She has not grown up with her parents since she was a child, and the relationship between people needs to get along with each other. She does not believe how much her parents love her.

   "Go, what are you afraid of? With grandmother here, no one can bully you."

  Linyi County, the gate of the county government.

  The janitor at the door was discussing where to go after get off work. He was talking about it, and suddenly asked a pungent smell. When he raised his head, he discovered that there were five more beggars in front of the county government’s gate.

  "Official man, may I ask, is this the Linyi county government?" Sun Bo smiled and asked.

   "Go and go, where the beggars come from, where do they come and where they go." The yamen in front of the gate drove out Uncle Sun with a look of disgust.

  Uncle Sun also wanted to ask, one of the officials was a little impatient, and raised the saber around his waist in a gesture of going to hit Uncle Sun.

"what are you doing?"

  Yan Wentao was startled when he saw it, two steps in three steps, ran over quickly, grabbed the servant's arm, and rescued Uncle Sun.

   "Boldly to make people, I dared to run to the county office to run wild, and I am impatient, right?" Other officials came forward one after another, they were crowded, and they overwhelmed Yan Wentao to the ground in twos or twos.

  Seeing that they treated Yan Wentao like this, the old lady Yan was furious.

   "You guys stop me!"

Daohua was also angrily and anxious, handed the old lady Yan to his grandmother, ran up quickly, pointed at the servant, and sternly said: "My father is Yan Zhigao, the county magistrate of Linyi County, if you dare to move me three Brother, I want you to look good."

  As soon as these words came out, the yamen who were still smug in the jokes were stunned on the spot.
