After the rain stopped, everyone waited for about two-quarters of an hour until the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and they were finally ready to set off again with confidence.
After this sudden heavy rain, everyone became more afraid of the mountains after the Tian Sanni incident, and they always felt that it would be better to leave the mountains as soon as possible.
Even if it rains and the mountain road is muddy and difficult to walk, we still insist on setting off as soon as possible.
Erlin Ziniang said: "Even if we climb, we have to climb out. If we stay in the mountain any longer, we will feel so scared."
The men who had already eaten white noodles came out one after another to show that they were not afraid.
Although weeds and other things can make you hungry when there is no dry food to eat on the road, they can only make you not feel hungry, because when you are hungry, you can stuff them in your mouth again.
But it doesn't have much strength, and even after coming out of the mountain road in Sanhe Town, its legs were all weak as it walked.
It's different now. Last night, everyone took out white flour and made it into real steamed buns or steamed buns to fight hunger. Although it was not the same pure white flour as Lao Qi's family, it was still real food. After eating it, I immediately felt
People feel energetic.
Now that we are full of energy, let’s go quickly and don’t waste the good food we’ve eaten by hanging around.
The Lao Qi family has nothing to object to, let's go, let's go.
Here one cart after another was pushed out of the cave, and the refugees in the cave next to them all came out of the cave when they saw such a big movement.
Old man Du, who had gone back to be with his eldest grandson, also ran out, holding a trumpet with his hands and shouting in the direction of Lao Qi's house: "Old Qi, are you leaving?"
Old man Qi was righting his horse, Qi Bao'er. After hearing this, he turned around and shouted in that direction: "Yes, Old Du, it's not safe in this mountain. It's better to get out of the mountain as soon as possible."
When Old Man Du heard this, he immediately turned around and ran back to the cave. When the Qijia Village team started to set off, he and a young man also chased after each carrying a baggage.
This man knew what was going on and did not run towards the Qijia Village team. Instead, he followed behind the Qijia Village team about ten meters away.
After that, the whole journey was quite peaceful. I ate dry food when I was hungry, and moved to a cart when I was tired. When the horses and oxen were tired, they could take a rest together.
Even those who were so exhausted didn't want to say a word.
The people in Qijia Village are honest. The refugees helped them by helping them. Everyone in Qijia Village thanked everyone before setting off. Although it was only five buns and ten buns, at this time,
It is life-saving food for both the person who gives it and the person who receives it.
It also helped other refugees survive the journey.
Finally, in the evening two days later, this group of refugees, who regarded everyone as a refugee, finally came out of the mountain road.
As soon as we came out of the mountain road, we were outside the city gate of Beiyang Town. On the left and right of the city gate, there were rows of government officials standing majestically with their spears raised. There were already a lot of refugees gathered outside the city gate.
"What's that for?"
Qi Kangfu asked feebly, pointing in a certain direction.
On one side of the large open space outside the city gate, there were several large tents set up side by side. At this moment, many decently dressed people, at least among the refugees, were lined up there.
Old Qi stretched out his hand towards Qi Bao'er, and Qi Bao'er immediately took out all the few taels of silver left at home.
Old man Qi took the money and handed it to Qi Kang'an, "Go over and see how to enter this city gate. Is there a notice posted on it? If not, ask the government officials."
"Hey." Qi Kang'an took the silver and walked over.
Before he even got close to the city gate, the officer on the outermost side pointed his spear at him, "What are you doing?"
"My lord, I want to ask something." Qi Kang'an smiled and bowed.
The yamen servant looked at him and saw that although he was dressed in a nondescript manner, the material of his clothes was fine silk and satin. He guessed that he might have been a wealthy man before, but he just cut off the hem of his robe to make it easier to travel.
"Do you want to know how to enter the town?" he put away his spear and asked, his tone much better this time.
Qi Kang'an nodded and approached with a smile. The yamen servant didn't know yet and waited for him to come over without moving.
Qi Kang'an thrust two taels of silver into his hand and said, "Sir, I wonder what's the point of entering Beiyang Town?"
The government officials knew how much it was at a glance, and they could earn twenty taels for just a few words. The government officials were very satisfied. After all, they had the task of telling the refugees about these issues.
"If you see a few tents over there, you need to register there first and explain what you did before. Are you planning to just pass through our town, or are you planning to stay for a long time?"
"Can we stay longer?"
"Of course." At the mention of this, the yamen servant held his head high and felt very proud.
"Although we have always been poor here, it is now a treasure land, and the war will not reach us at all."
Qi Kang'an really wanted to ask: Why do you dare to be so sure?
But I also know that this is just a small pawn and it is impossible to know too clearly. Maybe the county magistrate here is just guessing like them.
Qi Kang'an asked again: "Are there any other requirements for entering the town?"
Otherwise, there can't be so many refugees who didn't queue up, but even thatched huts were built on the other side of where they came out.
The government officer also knew what Qi Kang'an was asking, and looked at the pile of refugees over there with disdain, "The entrance fee to enter the town is ten taels of silver per person. Those are poor people who can't afford it."
Ten taels, or ten taels per person?
Is this a robbery?
Qi Kang'an was heartbroken, but his face remained calm, as if the money was nothing to him.
With this reaction, the yamen officer immediately knew that he was a rich man, and the smile on his face immediately became more real.
Qi Kang'an knew there was something going on, so he stuffed another tael of silver into it, feeling sorry for him and his heart throbbing.
The yamen servant touched the silver and whispered: "Actually, you don't have to pay money. It doesn't matter if you have a scholar in your family. Scholars can take the whole family to the city for free. If you have a scholar in your family, as long as you don't live for a long time, the whole family can."
You only need to pay the normal entrance fee to enter.
However, you cannot stay in the town for too long, no more than ten days."
Scholars are like noble people wherever they go.
Qi Kangan's eyes lit up and he said, "Thank you for telling me, brother, I happen to have a master who is going to raise people at home, and there are a few children."
Ouch, this is incredible.
The yamen servant immediately looked at him with admiration in his eyes, "Then please let your family come over quickly. The entry fee for each person is ten cents."
From one person and ten taels, it has now become one person and ten cents.
However, it is expensive at ten coins. In Peifeng Town, it is free to enter and exit the city.
well.
After Qi Kangan thanked him, he quickly went back to tell everyone the good news.
It's just that this news is good news for the Qi clan members, but it is unfriendly to those who are not named Qi, as they are not the same clan.
Doctor Gao and his family couldn't get it out, let alone those named Tian.
Qi Baoer called Tian Sanni to his side, "From now on, your name is Qi Wuyou, remember?"
Tian Sanni, uh, Qi Wuyou, who has a new name from now on, looked at Qi Bao'er with a confused look, not quite understanding how she suddenly changed from Tian Sanni to Qi Wuyou?
"The process is not important, what is important is the result. Just remember that you are called Qi Wuyou, and anyone who asks will be called Qi Wuyou."
