Chapter 167: Being Denied Entry into the City

One after another, people washed up, and several people went down the mountain together.

“Mom, sister-in-law, you go down first, I’ll wait for the people behind you.”

“That’s okay.”

At nine o’clock, the sky was slightly bright, and Su Yineng could see the situation in the pool.

How should I say, it was not as clear as before. But after a little settling, it will gradually become clearer.

The last group of them finally washed everything that needed to be washed.

The men came up too.

Halfway through the afternoon, the men, freshly dressed, happily went down the mountain with their children and washed clothes.

As soon as the men returned, the procession set off again.

Different from the past, this time the plant fragrance of saponin that everyone carries is no longer wrapped in a sour smell.

Mother Su spread the washed clothes on the mule cart, and others did the same, drying their clothes in various places.

The weather is hot now, so you can put it anywhere and dry it.

Nan Jingzhi was in a good mood. The sachet on his waist was replaced with a brand new one.

He was holding the horse rope in one hand and a folding fan in the other. The sour smell disappeared and he turned back into a truly elegant young man.

In the carport, little Yanggui looked at the hanging braised wild boar meat, his mouth was dripping with saliva, and he swallowed saliva from time to time.

Mother Su was amused by his greedy appearance, so she cut a piece of meat and handed it to him.

Xiao Yanggui shouted happily: “Aunt, you are the best. I like aunt the most.”

Su Yin, who was sitting in the front driving the car, listened to Xiao Yanggui’s ‘flattery’ voice and couldn’t help but think Wanting to tease him, he turned around and asked the people in the carriage: “Xiao Yanggui, what about me?”

When Xiao Yanggui suddenly heard his cousin’s voice, his little face was so tangled that he hesitated for a long time before he said : “Sister Yinyin is also the best.”

“There is only one best, my aunt or me?” Su Yin continued to tease.

Now it was even more difficult for little Yanggui. He looked at Su’s mother and then at Su Yin outside.

He was so confused that he finally gritted his teeth and said, “Of course my sister is the best.” Su’s mother laughed and pointed at his forehead. “You are so heartless.”

Xiao Yanggui pretended to be stupid and smiled at Su’s mother.

During the break, Su Yin found Dr. Li and asked about what happened yesterday.

When Dr. Li heard her purpose, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s just ordinary summer heat, not a plague.”

“That’s good.” Su Yin was also worried. After all, he had to be careful when passing through Baiji County.

Su Yin found Nan Jingzhi.

“Is something wrong?”

“If anyone in the team has a headache, please don’t hold it in and tell Dr. Li in time.”

Nan Jingzhi understood instantly, “I will ask people to pay attention to the situation of the people below, even if they don’t tell me, I will keep an eye on them.”

Su Yin was still very relieved when he was doing things.

Su Yin found Li Rui again and asked him to pay more attention to the situation of the people in Lijia Village, and to report any situation in any family in time.

Li Rui also understood the importance of the matter and responded solemnly.

As for Xinghua Village, she can look after it by herself, and with Dr. Li, there won’t be much of a problem.

When we arrived in Qinghe County, we encountered the same situation as Baiji County.

The city gate was tightly closed, and there was a sign standing in front of the city gate, also informing Dahe County that there was water there.

They did not stop in Qinghe County, but bypassed Qinghe County directly.

At the three-way intersection, they did not choose to go to Dahe County, but headed towards another road, Jiatong County.

Perhaps because of the signboards in Baiji County and Qinghe County, there were very few people walking on the official road to Jiatong County.

Occasionally you can see people walking, they are all local villagers, not refugees.

Those people looked at them with their families and raised eyebrows, but they were surprised to see that they were clean and tidy.

Because the people they had seen were all covered in dust, with numb expressions and tired faces, it was rare to find anyone as clean as them.

After two days of driving, they finally arrived in Jiatong County.

The gates of Jiatong County were wide open, and many people looked happy.

“You don’t have to live outside tonight, you can find a foot shop to stay.” Yang Dashan said with a smile.

Everyone has money in their pockets, so they won’t feel bad about those tens of pennies now.

It doesn’t feel good to sleep on the mud every day.

Li Rui’s team was at the front, Su Yin and the others were in the middle, and finally the Nanjing group.

They were lining up behind Li Rui, but when the team reached Li Rui, something happened.

“Master Cha, why is this?”

“There is no reason. This is a rule from above.”

Seeing that the situation ahead was not good, Su Yin hurriedly got off the carriage and walked to the front to ask.

Adhering to the principle of respecting others before giving gifts, Su Yin stuffed ten coins into the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and asked with a smile, “Master, what’s going on?”

The officer and soldier guarding the city glanced at Su Yin and saw her.

He is still well dressed and has quite a lot of patches on his body, and with her benefit, his manner of speaking is naturally much better.

“Girl, are you together?” the city guard officer asked.

“Yes.”

The city defenders lowered their voices and said, “Then you should leave quickly.”

“Why is this?”

“I’m not letting you in. It’s actually a rule from above. Anyone coming from Baiji County will not be allowed in.

No matter how many more people come in, I don’t know.”

Su Yin’s heart sank.

The local villagers at the back saw that they were not moving and urged impatiently: “Are you going in? If not, get out of the way.”

Everyone withdrew from the queue to enter the city.

Nan Jingzhi was at the rear. Seeing that the team was silent, he came forward to inquire about the situation.

“What happened?”

Su Yin briefly explained the situation. “It’s probably because the people above received the situation in Baiji County that this happened.”

Nan Jingzhi frowned.

“What I’m worried about now is the situation in Linzhou.”

After she reminded him, Li Rui also thought of it and looked anxious, “What should we do?”

Nan Jingzhi waved his hand, “It’s not urgent. Since Jiatong If they can’t enter the county, we’ll go to Linzhou as quickly as possible. There will be a way to the mountain.”

“Okay.”

Many people in the team knew that Jiatong County would not let them enter, but they were disappointed. Cheer up and continue on your way.

People whose families are running out of food only eat one meal a day, but they don’t save as much water as before.

In this way, it can be regarded as persisting to the boundary of Linzhou.

Su Yin looked at the boundary monument of Linzhou in front with mixed emotions.

Fortunately, they can reach Linzhou Mansion soon and take a boat to the south of the Yangtze River.

What worries me is whether the situation in the counties and counties in Linzhou will be like that in Jiatong County.

The first county in Linzhou they passed through was Linzhi County.

As he got closer to Linzhi County, Su Yin noticed that there were more and more refugees on the official road.

Their faces were sallow, and many of them even kept coughing.

Su Yin immediately informed everyone to wear masks boiled with mugwort leaves.

“Mom, you light the mugwort and put it on both sides of the car.”

“Okay.” Mother Su did it immediately without asking.
