A slightly fat woman supported an old man and said softly.
The old man held a cane in one hand and a big knife in the other, and with the help of the woman, he quickly shuttled through the forest.
There were three shocking wounds on his left leg. They were obviously the claw marks left by some ferocious beast, which tore off half of his leg flesh.
Around them, there were an old man and a young man holding weapons to protect them, with firm eyes scanning the surroundings.
There are small teams one after another three to five meters away. Although they are separated by a lot of distance, if you observe carefully, you can still find the connection between them.
This is a perfectly normal team of refugees, hugging each other for warmth in the dangerous wilderness, protecting each other but being wary of each other.
On one side of the refugees, two men, one old and one young, slowly slowed down and came to the side of the old man on crutches.
"dad."
"grandfather."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Look at that?"
The old man looked up, with some surprise in his cloudy eyes.
"Is that Ning'an City?"
"right."
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, are you serious? Could it be that we got the wrong person?
There are many people with the same name now."
The boy, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, asked, and the middle-aged man also looked at his father.
"Even if not, we can stay in Ning'an City. As the most powerful city within a hundred miles, it doesn't matter if we are a little tired or a little miserable. At least we don't have to live such a life of displacement and precariousness."
The old man said firmly. Although he was old, injured and on crutches, his rocker was still straight and very calm, calming their hearts like the sea-fixing needle.
"Um."
A few people nodded, looking at the tall Ning'an city wall and the busy construction site, a trace of yearning and a trace of expectation flashed in their eyes.
"Name."
"Fang Huaxiang."
"The surname is Fang? The method is Fang?"
The registration officer raised his head in surprise and looked at this tall old man.
"Yes, Fang Huaxiang."
"Any questions?"
The middle-aged man stood aside and asked.
"It's okay, it's just that the surname Fang is quite rare, you know."
"As far as I know, your city lord's surname is also Fang, right?"
"Yes, our city lord's surname is Fang, so I am more sensitive to this surname."
"My cousin is also named Fang Fan."
The boy next to him, about sixteen or seventeen years old, suddenly said. The woman next to him wanted to hold him back, but unfortunately she still let him say it.
"Um?"
The man immediately became interested when he heard this, and pointed to a group of people near the city wall.
"Well, have you seen them? Our city lord's grandfather, grandmother, uncles, aunts, distant cousins, distant cousins, hey, there are all of them."
"ah?"
Several people were surprised at first, but after seeing the playful expression on the registration officer's lips, they immediately realized that if they were really relatives of Fang Fan, they would not be treated like this. They must either have the same name or be fake.
"Children are just talking. Don't take it seriously, please register. People behind you are impatiently waiting."
The middle-aged man went up and said with a smile, pointing to the people in line behind him, who were a little resentful after waiting for so long. If the swords in the hands of the soldiers next to them were not too sharp, they would have started a riot long ago.
"no."
However, what they didn't expect was that the registration officer shook his head seriously.
"Since he has already said that his cousin is also named Fang Fan, we must verify it."
"This, this is not necessary."
Seeing that the middle-aged man was somewhat reluctant, the registration officer's expression softened and he spoke calmly.
"Brother, don't be nervous, this is a rule. If you are really relatives of our city lord, and I let you go like this, then the city lord would have to tear me alive.
Don’t worry, even if you are not, there will be no consequences. There are many people with the same name and surname in the world. I won’t trouble you for this matter, and it won’t waste too much time. I’ll finish asking later and if I’m sure it’s not the case, I will
I will personally take you through the procedure, maybe it will be faster than now."
The middle-aged man kept glancing towards the group of "fake relatives" with a bit of nervousness in his eyes.
Seeing this, the registration officer immediately understood and said in a gentle tone without making a fuss.
"Don't worry, they are all liars. If you don't believe it after being verified, they insist on meeting our city lord and pretending. This is not the case under normal circumstances."
The middle-aged man wanted to say something else, but the old man said in a deep voice.
"Then this will cause trouble to my little brother."
"No trouble, no trouble."
The registration officer smiled and waved his hand when he heard this, then turned around and shouted.
"Qingyang, Qingyang!"
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Substitute for me."
"You have something to do, okay, go quickly."
"Okay, let's go."
The registration officer nodded to them, took them to a shed nearby, and registered them one by one.
"Fang Huaxiang, Fang Xingguo, Fang Li, Yang Xiu'e?"
"right."
"It's such a blessing that your family is reunited, and your life is so enviable."
The registration staff said enviously. While talking, he took out a piece of white paper and asked.
"How old is your relative Fang Fan now?"
"twenty."
"Who is the father and who is the mother?"
"Fang Yunqi, Ye Xiuying."
"Where do they live?"
........
One question and one answer, and soon the note was filled with content. After asking the last question, the registration officer stood up directly.
"You guys wait for me here for a moment, I'll be right back."
"good."
"Hey, Xiao Liuzi, are you lazy here again?"
Suddenly a voice came from the side and a man came over.
"Hey, my army commander, how can I be lazy? I'm obviously working, but why are you here if you don't recruit troops? Aren't you just slipping away?
Be careful and I will sue you."
"Hey, sue me? Am I not recruiting?
How about joining the army with me, and I will protect you as captain for one month, and for three months I will protect you as the commander of a thousand people, and I will go to the boss and say a few words, and you might be able to wake up, how about that."
"Tch, no, I'm not going. I still have to take care of my mother. It would be great if I could be a civil servant. It would be safer and more comfortable. Anyway, with you covering me, no one dares to provoke me."
"You have no ambition, you can't hold up the wall with mud."
Li Yang rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"Okay, okay, don't disturb me. I have business to do. Don't you see that they are still waiting here?"
"Okay, okay, by the way, whose family member is here? Tell me, maybe I can recognize him."
Li Yang turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something, pointed at Fang Xingguo and the others and asked.
"Your boss."
The registration officer suddenly slapped his head and said suddenly.
"Hey, I'm stupid, why did I go all the way to ask for confirmation? I can't just ask you directly.
Num, take a look and see if the information is correct or not, mainly the last few."
"Boss family?"
Li Yang glanced up and down at Fang Xingguo and others, then took the note and opened it.
