Everyone had already seen the prototype of what the county town would look like, and even though the village chief was still speaking, they were so excited that they speeded up their progress unconsciously.

However, the further we walked, the more something seemed wrong. There were people everywhere outside the city, and they were surrounded everywhere.

Seeing so many refugees blocking the city gate, Xiang Jiuling unconsciously had a bad premonition in her heart.

The village chief also noticed the situation at the scene immediately, and immediately asked everyone to stay where they were, "Don't panic, everyone, there seems to be something wrong with the thank you at the front. Let's send two people to the front to have a look first!"

Everyone had fled all the way here, and was already exhausted physically and mentally. At this moment, the village chief had spoken, and everyone sat down to rest for the time being.

At this time, there were so many people standing at the city gate that they couldn't even see the city gate and didn't know what was going on inside.

"What's going on inside?"

"What's going on? I haven't seen the door open for so long. Are there so many people locked out?"

"Can't you see there are so many people waiting outside? Open the door quickly. Are you just going to watch so many people starve to death outside?"

Hearing the people outside the city gate screaming at the top of their lungs, everyone's hearts became heavier unconsciously.

The village chief didn't explain the situation clearly when he came back, so Xiang Jiuling had no choice but to tell Wen Xi and went over to check.

After finally pushing through the dense crowd and entering, Xiang Jiuling saw clearly the situation at the city gate. He saw that the vermilion gate was completely closed, and a large group of refugees gathered at the gate. Some were sleeping, sitting, and standing. There were also people

He kept beating on the city gate and shouted from time to time.

Seeing that the city gate had no intention of opening, Xiang Jiuling had no choice but to return and tell Wen Xi the truth about the situation.

"With so many people gathering outside the city now, the city gate must not be opened that easily!"

Wen Xi naturally understood that with so many people surrounding the city gate, it was strange that the city gate could be opened.

Xiang Jiuling also nodded clearly, "Yes, it seems that we either have to stick to it, or else we have to move our position."

Since the city gate is not open, everyone has no choice but to find a nearby place to settle down and wait for the city gate to open.

Fortunately, the village chief quickly led the team to find a good place, and everyone finally found a place to stay.

The three Xiang family members could only stay with Xiang Jiuling's family temporarily, but they were still thinking about how to get more things and make more money.

Looking at the things piled under the stone, Xiangyue's eyes narrowed. These were all the food that Xiang Jiuling and her three children had found.

She didn't feel any guilt at all. She gathered these things and turned around, wanting to sell them or exchange them for other useful things.

Without these things, Xiang Jiuling would suffer, and selling her would be easy.

When she was selling things, she didn't forget to look for him and told people everywhere that he had a smart and beautiful daughter.

Old Mrs. Ji was even more vicious than she was. She directly poisoned Sanni's food.

This little girl also talked back to her a few times, and she deserved to make her suffer a little.

Sanni soon couldn't stand it any longer. She ran into the fields from time to time and had diarrhea, and she was always vomiting. Her little face was so pale that it looked so pitiful and heartbreaking.

When Wen Xi saw this, he could only become anxious. Everything was fine before, but why did it suddenly become like this? Could it be that he contracted some disease?

Nowadays, with so many people living together in a noisy environment, anything is possible.

The other two little guys were also very worried and kept guarding their sister.

Looking at poor little Nizi, Xiang Jiuling frowned. She picked up the small bowl where Sanni was eating and looked at it. She looked at the food and smelled it. She instantly understood that the food was poisonous.

"No, she was poisoned!"

Who was responsible for the poison?

Xiang Jiuling was shocked that someone would poison a child like Sanni. What was the purpose?

While she was thinking wildly, she suddenly heard Sanni calling "Mother" in distress. Xiang Jiuling also knew that now was not the time to pursue the matter. Just as he was about to find a way to save her, he heard the accusation from Mrs. Ji:

"You are such a vicious woman, you actually want to poison such a young child."

"Don't talk nonsense here, I don't have time to talk to you now."

Xiang Jiuling warned Mrs. Ji in a cold voice that she just wanted to save Sanni at the moment and didn't want to talk to her, but that didn't mean she allowed her to ruin her reputation.

Seeing that Xiang Jiuling didn't refute, Mrs. Ji became even more excited. Her sharp voice was like the cold wind in winter, harshly blowing people's eardrums.

"Xiang Jiuling, don't try to quibble. I've seen your thoughts a long time ago. I've lived much longer than you, and nothing can be hidden from my eyes. You just think this little girl is a burden, so you

I want to poison her to death and save one more mouthful of food!"

When many villagers who came to join in the fun but didn't know the situation heard it, they immediately criticized her: "It's just that this woman is extremely evil-hearted, but she still pretends to be pure and kind. Do you think we don't remember her past?"

"Hey, this little girl is pitiful. She is usually well-behaved and sensible. But when she met such a vicious woman, she was really unlucky for eight lifetimes..."

There were constant accusations, and everyone seemed to believe that the poison was administered by Xiang Jiuling. After all, many people knew that Xiang Jiuling was the child's stepmother, and there were not a few people who killed children on the way to escape.

Xiang Jiuling didn't make any noise, and was a little unusually quiet, but in fact, she just wanted to find a way to save Sanni, otherwise she might really die if she didn't delay any longer.

As a mother, Xiang Yue not only did not speak out to help Xiang Jiuling, her daughter, but instead accused her at this critical moment: "You damn girl, why are you so cruel? How could I teach you in the past? Why are you so cruel?"

You've become such a ghost, and you can't get along with a child. You... As a stepmother, no matter how much you hate children, you can't do such a cruel thing!"

As soon as she spoke out, the villagers became more convinced that Xiang Jiuling was indeed a nuisance and a black-hearted stepmother, so they should expel her from the team and not let her harm others again.

Wen Xi on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking about it, now is not the time to talk about this."

He wanted to ask the doctor.

Xiang Jiuling didn't refute, but Liu Shuangshuang, who had listened to everything, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but argue: "Grandma, you always know nonsense, and you did it before. Sister Xiang is not that kind of person.

Everyone sees how Sister Lixiang treats the children, so how could she hurt Sanni? Don’t slander me here. If you have the ability, bring out the evidence. Even the county magistrate must look at the evidence when deciding a case. You have no evidence.

You are just talking nonsense!"
