The group of people walked to the city gate and saw a huge crowd in front of them. Everyone was scrambling to get in front, hoping to enter the city as quickly as possible.
"There are so many people!" Chang Zhong sighed.
"Let's find a place, sit down and wait! We can't squeeze in right now." Chang Zhong took Lu Hua and walked out of the crowd.
The group of people found a place with few people, sat on the ground, and waited for a while before entering the city.
There are also many people sitting nearby, including men, women and children.
"Fortunately, King Xiao Beiyang came and repelled the enemy army. Otherwise, how would the Lord of Fengcheng open the city gate and let the people into the city?"
"That's right, that's right! If the Northland wasn't too far away, I would have wanted to flee to the Northland." An uncle said sadly.
As soon as this was said, several people echoed it.
"The winter months will begin in half a month, and the weather will get even colder. It will be impossible to go to the Northland." A man in his fifties or sixties sighed, feeling very helpless.
"I hope the weather will be smooth in the coming spring and there will be no more floods." An aunt wiped her tears.
While listening to these discussions, Fu Manman looked at the city gate not far ahead.
Looking at the long table at the city gate, three officials were sitting in front of the table, comparing their clan registrations one by one.
After passing, an official will stamp the clan registration and let you pass.
If one of them fails to pass, the official will immediately revoke his clan membership and not allow him to pass.
The other party cried and begged the official to let him go.
"How can those officials tell if this clan registration is genuine?" Fu Manman has been thinking about this issue. With just a piece of paper, it is too fake!
Moreover, so many people died along the way, so you can pretend to be someone else by stealing their family name!
"Those officials have sharp eyes. The family registration contains the fingerprints of the family head and family members. The officials only need to compare the fingerprints to see if it is a fake." An uncle behind him replied.
Fu Manman turned around and took a look, hey! Isn't this the gentleman he met yesterday?
"Sir, what a coincidence, are you going to the city today?" Fu Manman greeted.
Xingping Lida shook his head angrily. He wanted to go in, but the little lord refused to go with him. He had no choice but to follow.
The little lord just told him a piece of bad news. The little lord will continue to escape with these brothers and sisters!
He is a descendant of the royal family and the owner of Fusheng Pavilion. How can he be like a pariah, running around?
Seeing the uncle shaking his head, Fu Manman knew that he was also an unlucky guy. He had no clan status and could not enter the city. He was also a downcast from the end of the world. No one should pity the other.
In front of the city gate, people gradually became less crowded, and some tragic scenes that had not been seen before were also revealed.
Many refugees without ethnic status have been turned away, including many children.
There was a big battle the day before yesterday, in which many people died and many children lost their relatives. Fu Manman saw a young child of four or five years old, carrying a one or two-year-old child behind him.
The child looked helplessly in the crowd, looking at the people coming and going. His eyes were filled with tears, and he opened his mouth to cry. His thin body was pushed by the crowd and he fell down and got up again. No one helped him or cared about him.
But the child behind him had his head drooped limply.
That child is long dead!
This situation made Fu Manman suddenly lose her guard. She stood up and couldn't help but shed tears.
As long as you pay attention to one case, you will see more.
A teenage boy, holding a one or two year old girl in his arms, knelt on the ground and begged an aunt to take his sister into the city, but was ruthlessly rejected.
There was also a woman who followed a man into the city and abandoned her daughter. The girl hugged her mother's legs and cried non-stop. Finally, the man kicked her away and dragged her mother into the city.
At the end, there were more and more abandoned children in front of the city gate.
"What a sin! How will these children survive in the future?" Lu Hua also saw all this and couldn't help but said sadly.
Fu Manman's eyes were red and she clenched her hands tightly into fists. No..., she couldn't watch these children die in despair.
These children are so young, weak, innocent, and they still have a long future.
If no one saves them, they will all starve to death and freeze to death!
"Miss Manman, what's wrong with you?" Lu Hua noticed something strange about Fu Manman. When she saw Fu Manman's eyes were red and his face was full of tears, she knew that this child felt sorry for those poor children again.
"Good girl, if you have a child yourself, don't worry about those children. The city lord will definitely make proper arrangements for those poor children." Luhua pulled Fu Manman and asked her to sit down.
Will it? Will the powerful people in the city save these poor children?
Fu Manman was filled with doubts and secretly looking forward to it, it would definitely happen.
When there were fewer people at the city gate, Chang Zhong and his wife took their children and prepared to say goodbye.
"Manman girls, farewell to the brothers of the Fu family." Chang Zhong clasped his fists with a look of reluctance on his face.
"Uncle Chang, Auntie, I wish the whole family a safe and peaceful life." Fu Manman smiled slightly and waved goodbye to the family.
All banquets in the world come to an end, and some people are just passers-by in life.
Fu Manman felt a little reluctant to give up, but she was more willing to wish them a better life in the city.
Watching the Chang family enter the city gate, watching them verify their clan status, and then watching them enter the city gate, the Fu family siblings kept waving.
Fu An and Fu both cried, and the three children of the Chang family burst into tears. They were reluctant to say goodbye to everyone.
Chang Zhong's family looked back three times every step of the way. Even Chang Zhong, a tough guy, had red eyes.
"Let's go! We will pack our luggage in a while and continue our escape!" Fu Manman pulled his brothers and sisters and turned to leave.
After walking not far, I suddenly heard Chang Zhong's loud voice shouting from behind: "It's full of girls! Wait a minute."
Fu Manman hurriedly turned around and looked at Chang Zhong and Lu Hua in surprise. The couple took the children and ran out of the city gate and ran towards them.
"Why are you back again?" Fu Manman asked in surprise.
"We won't enter the city, we won't enter, let's continue to escape together!" Chang Zhong said loudly, with a heroic smile on his face.
Lu Hua stood aside, with a gentle smile on her face and a smile in her eyes: "Girl Manman, I still want to be your neighbor, and I really can't bear to be separated from you."
Lu Hua touched the little heads of Fu An and Fu Shuangshuang, feeling very painful in her heart.
The blood in Fu Manman's heart was boiling, and a warmth reached the bottom of her heart. She stepped forward and hugged Luhua, stretched out her fist, and motioned to Chang Zhong to give her a fist together.
Chang Zhong stretched out his fist and fist-bumped Fu Manman happily.
"Okay, we will be a family from now on!" Fu Manman was so happy that he wanted to cry.
