"Ah …" Arrived, Arrived... Min'er, we finally made it out alive … "

From afar, one could see the endless flow of people in the city, creating a bustling scene. The city was separated from the city by the tall walls on the way. Nona stood on her tiptoes, looking into the distance, excited …

But...

His hoarse voice was as unpleasant as a broken gong.

Along the way, although there was food in the space, and she would sneak into the space every few days to get some food out, but … In this chaotic world, she and Min'er, the two little girls, would get killed if they ate too much … Therefore, even if there was enough food in the Space for her and Min'er to eat and drink for the rest of their lives, she still had to control herself on the way. She definitely wouldn't bring out any more food …

In such a hungry situation, facing so much food, this was actually something very difficult to do … Min'er's health was not good to begin with. She had not eaten well along the way, so seeing her gradually weakening, Nona became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. However, she could do nothing about it.

"Yeah …" Yeah … "We're here, we've finally arrived …"

Min'er was so excited that her sunken eyes sparkled. Her pale, colorless face was blushing, as if her spirit had been restored.

Along the way, even though Jiu Niang did everything she could to coax the little girl, trying to make her feel happier … After all, no matter what, as long as a person is in a good mood, their body will follow several times, but … However, although Min'er was only a child, after experiencing so many things, she seemed to have become intelligent very early on. She always had a preoccupied look on her face … Nona also knew that she was probably missing her family, but … "Hehe, in that case, it would be lucky if I could escape with her …"

As for the others …

As for people, if they followed the rules, they might be able to … However, if the last taboo was broken …

Nona did not want to think about it along the way, nor did she dare to.

"Let's go! We should be able to reach the city gate before the sun sets!"

Shaking her head with all her might, Nona told herself not to think too much. What was supposed to come was unstoppable. She was not a god … The only thing he could do was to work hard to let himself live on …

Holding Min'er's hand, the two of them walked towards the city gate. It was unknown whether it was because they had hope or because something was amiss, but they both sped up their pace.

"Scram, scram!" You want to enter the city without money! "

"If you don't get lost, I'll kill you!"

"Please, let us in …"

"Sir, we are all victims of disasters. Please let us in."

"Sir, I beg of you, let us in. Look at my child, it's been so many days since I last ate …"

"Scram, scram!"

"If you don't scram, don't blame us for being impolite!"

It was only at this time that Nona and Min'er discovered that there were already many people blocking the city gate. There were at least a hundred of them, and they were all dressed in rags, many of them carrying their own family. Although they were thin, their condition was much better than what they had seen along the way. From the looks of it, they should be the victims of this place …

In other words...

More victims have yet to arrive...

"Elder sister …"

Min'er nervously tugged on Jiu Niang's sleeve, her eyes filled with worry.

"Nothing, nothing …" We'll definitely be able to enter. "

She patted Min'er's hand and said with certainty.

There must be a reason why she was so confident.

The first was that she had heard it clearly. The guards did not say that no one was allowed to enter, they only said that they were not allowed to without money.

As for her …

Well, well, there was money.

When they first found the city, Nona had already taken out all of the silver Situ Xi's guards had used to scam her …

Although there were a lot of people blocking the city's entrance, everyone was still too excited. Moreover, Nona was so sensitive that she was able to reach the front very quickly. Nona took a quick glance and saw a notice pasted beside the city gate. It stated that anyone who wanted to enter the city had to pay 10 taels of silver each.

Ten taels.

No wonder there were so many people blocking the city's entrance.

But for Nona … In any case, it was someone else who cheated him …

Of course, there was one more important point. That was … These people might not know how severe the drought would be this time, but Nona was very clear about it. She had followed Min'er for so long, and even though they had never seen any cities, they had still encountered towns and so on. All of them, without exception, were in a depression... Jiu Niang and Min'er circled around it, not daring to step forward …

This person was extremely hungry. He was very scary. Even Min'er's father could hand his daughter over in a situation where he was extremely helpless, let alone …

"Uncle, what do I need to do to enter the city?"

Nona pulled Min'er in front of the gate guards and asked politely.

The two children, in addition to the children who stayed in the open and the wind, did not look like they were people who could afford the money. However, they were still children, so the guard did not get angry and only waved his hands impatiently, "Go, go, go, go!"

"Uncle, is this Jincheng City? Father and Mother said that they would take us to live at Uncle's house in Jincheng. Little Sister likes to play on the road, so we separated from Father and Mother.

Not only did Jiu Niang not leave, but she continued to ask about it. Just now, she took the opportunity to take a look and discovered that it was Jincheng City.

Although her face was full of pustules and pustules, her eyes were dark and bright. At the moment, her face was covered with a mask, so only her eyes could be seen. Furthermore, there was a rule when she spoke. Only those who had status would bring a mask when they went out. Even though their clothes were tattered, her mask should be made of brocade …

"You can't see for yourself? You want to enter the city for ten taels of silver for one person."

Even though the guard was a bit impatient, he did not chase them out immediately. Instead, he pointed at the notice and grumbled unhappily.

Hearing the price of ten silver taels for one person, everyone started to clamor, "Sir, ten silver taels for one person is too expensive!"

"That's right, that's right. Who would want to enter a city to ask for so much silver?"

"It's not like we've ever been to Jincheng City before!"

"Right, right! Isn't it just a matter of one tael of gold!?"

Hundreds of voices were constantly making noise. The guard at the door was getting impatient. He waved the saber in his hand and scolded unhappily, "If you don't want to enter, then scram! You're standing in the way!"

The ten taels of silver that was needed to enter the city was not what they had set down. Instead, they were being harassed by these individuals every day.

The guards were already dissatisfied in their hearts.

"And you two, do you want to go in or not? If you don't want to enter the city, go away! "

"Go in, go in, go in …" Of course … "My sister and I came here to find my parents …" Nona hurriedly nodded her head and answered with absolute certainty. She then quickly searched her body and searched everywhere. In the end, she took out a pile of copper coins. She took out one or two pieces of silver and carefully counted them …

"Ah, it's not enough, I'm still short of 2 taels …"

However, she was still unable to find him. In the end, she turned around and looked at Min'er, who was standing beside her. "Little sister, do you have any? Quickly, check if you have any silver with you."

"I... "I …"

Silver?

Min'er stared blankly at Jiu Niang. She couldn't understand why Jiu Niang would ask her this. She didn't have any money on her.

Even though her parents had treated her well, she had spent all the silver in her family to treat her illness …

"Hey, what are you daydreaming for … Forget it, forget it … "I came looking for you …"

Without waiting for Min'er's reply, she reached out her hand and randomly touched her body. Then, "Ah, great …"

Min'er was dumbstruck as she stared blankly at the copper and silver coins that Jiu Niang had taken out of her body.

"This... "This …" How was that possible? She was very clear in her heart if she had any money on her.

How is that possible? Where did this come from?

However, Jiu Niang didn't even give her the chance to speak and quickly interrupted her, patting her on the head gently and sincerely said, "I know this is the pocket money father and mother gave you, but without money now, we can't enter, and if we can't enter, we won't be able to find father and mother … "Don't worry, when we reach uncle's house and find father and mother, we'll have them return it to you …"

"No, it's not …"

Min'er waved her hand in panic.

She was shocked because she knew that she did not have any money on her and did not want it back.

"Be good, be good!" Nona patted her head as if she did not understand Min'er's meaning. She pulled her little hand to the door and held her little face up while she held a pile of crushed silver and copper coins in her hands. "Uncle, I'll give it to you …"

"No need, you guys …" "Hurry up and go in …"

The guards took all of Nona's actions into their eyes. After receiving the money, they only waved their hands and moved aside, easily allowing the two of them to pass by.

Of course, Nona did not dare to hesitate in the slightest. She was afraid that they would go back on their word, so she pulled Min'er away.

Looking at the two girls entering the city, the guards outside were all excited. "Why? What right do you have to let them in! "

"That's right, that's right, why didn't you let us in and let them in?"

"No, no, we have to go in too!"

Many of these people had been guarding the door for several days. They could have entered as long as there were some benefits, but many of them were still unwilling to give them. They just waited here. However, the price was clearly stated later on that one person wanted 10 taels of silver …

Ten taels of silver was not a small sum. How many things could he do?

Everyone was naturally even more unwilling.

But now …

Seeing that Nona and Min'er had gone in, everyone was worried.

"If you want to enter the city, you have to pay first. They gave you money."

The guards at the gate were not slow either. A dozen of them pulled out their sabers and waved them in the air. All of them complained, but did not dare to step forward.

He just cursed from the distance, "A bunch of gluttonous fools have cheated my little girl …"

"That's right, that's right! That's because my little girl doesn't know how to act!"

"10 taels of silver, why don't you go and snatch it!"

"Right, right, you guys might as well rob him."

Everyone started talking one after another, their faces filled with anger and dissatisfaction. To them, the reason why Jiu Niang and Min'er paid was because they were insensible and had been scammed. They had already taken out all their money, but not even a single copper coin was left.

They were adults, not easily deceived like children.
