Escape from famine at the beginning: I use space to raise three cute babies

When Sanni woke up, she was still a little confused and didn't know what was going on. She just felt a little uncomfortable and nestled in Wen Xi's arms, unwilling to get up.

"Mom, Dad, I feel uncomfortable!"

Seeing Sanni in such pain, the two of them were heartbroken. Thinking about the strange behavior of Mrs. Ji and Xiangyue today, Xiang Jiuling also had an answer in her heart.

Of course, Sanni quickly gave Xiang Jiuling the exact answer.

It turned out that Sanni accidentally saw the Xiang Yue family selling food that they had worked so hard to find. When she found out, she wanted to tell Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi. Who knew that the Xiang Yue family was so crazy that he teamed up with Mrs. Ji to do this?

matter.

I see.

After Xiang Jiuling learned the truth, she closed her eyes. She suddenly felt tired, but also felt lucky that she had discovered it early, otherwise Sanni would not have had the chance to tell them these things.

After discussing with Wen Xi, Xiang Jiuling called Xiang Yueshi and Xiang Lizhang and placed the things in front of them.

"With the only remaining blood relationship in mind, these are the last things I prepared for you. You can take them to other places. You have hands and feet, and you can fully support yourself, instead of taking the things I worked so hard to find.

If you sell food for money, you should know how hard it is to find food."

"What, you, you, you...you, an unfilial daughter, actually want to drive us away!"

Xiang Mu looked at Xiang Jiuling in disbelief, her eyes widened.

"Yes, you leave as soon as possible. I won't bother to chase you away, but I won't give you anything anymore. You can figure it out on your own."

After Xiang Jiuling said this emotionlessly, he went to do his own business without looking at them again.

Seeing that the supplies were being consumed little by little, but the closed gate showed no sign of opening, the people waiting outside couldn't help but become more and more anxious. If this continued, they would starve to death and freeze to death before the city gate opened!

While I was thinking hard, someone shouted excitedly, "The door is open! The door is open!"

In an instant, everyone's attention was attracted, and the originally closed city gate slowly opened.

Everyone craned their necks to look forward, and saw that the closed city gate had really opened a crack, and then five or six officers and soldiers in uniforms walked out of the door, holding more weapons in their hands.

Thick and long sticks blocked the crowds who were desperately trying to push forward.

Five or six people lined up in the middle, flanking them on both sides, and then a middle-aged man in a robe walked out. He pretended to cough a few times, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Seeing these people putting on official airs, Xiang Jiuling knew clearly that it would be difficult to enter the city today. After all, there were so many refugees outside the city. If they all entered the city, there would be chaos.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet and listen to the adults say a few words!"

An official shouted loudly, and the man in the robe frowned and took a few steps forward.

"Everyone, please be patient. People everywhere are having a hard time this year. I understand how you are feeling right now. However, the city is small and cannot accommodate so many people, so we can only control the number of people entering the city. Of course, don't worry.

We will definitely find a way to accommodate everyone, but now we can only check them one by one before entering the city, everyone, be prepared!"

"Sir, this... what should we prepare?"

"Everyone, don't be anxious. The city is very stretched now. You have to pay some fees to enter the city, otherwise we won't be able to appease the people in the city!"

"I see that everyone has had a hard time escaping from the famine all the way here. I don't have to make it difficult for you. Just calculate it at 300 yuan per person. Of course, we have also considered everyone's situation. If there are children at home, one adult can take one under one year old.

child!"

As soon as these words came out, a stone was thrown into shock, and the whole place was in an uproar.

Three hundred coins per person? This...isn't this taking advantage of the situation?

Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi grabbed the three children and looked at each other quietly, "What should we do? Shall we go into the city?"

"Now that we have run out of supplies, we can only go to the city to settle down and then think of a solution. If we don't go to the city, we can only take a detour. It will take at least three or four months, and the children will not be able to support it at all!"

The two adults were okay and could hold on even if the journey was difficult, but now that the weather was getting colder, the three children couldn't hold on.

"It seems that these people know our current situation and dare to ask for exorbitant prices!"

"This...isn't this person's three hundred coins going to cost us our lives? Do these people have any humanity? Knowing that we are all refugees with no money or food, we might as well just kill them!"

When the village chief heard the news, he was immediately stunned. Their team had endured a lot of hardships along the way to get to this place. They didn't expect that it would cost so much to enter the city. What should they do now?

"Oh, it's really terrible. There are so many people in our family, and each person is three hundred yuan. How can we get so much money!"

"Uuuuuuuuah, these damn officials have their consciences eaten by dogs!"

The mood of everyone present instantly sank to the bottom. The children seemed to feel the adults' anxiety and stayed quietly beside the adults without daring to speak.

Seeing that you had to pay so much money to enter the city, there was chaos outside the city for a while, but some people who had money with them immediately stepped forward and paid in full. Now how can these external things be as important as life!

With someone taking the lead, those who wanted to save their lives would naturally have no choice but to lose their money, and those with money would rush forward and pour into the city gate.

"This...can't it be cheaper? How can our family get so much money now? What should we do?"

"It's terrible! It's really terrible!"

When the village elder's wife heard that he wanted so much money, she looked at her three children and couldn't help crying in despair.

You have gone through so many hardships all the way to escape from famine. You have to live in the open and face wild beasts and poisonous insects. How many people can't get enough to eat. How can you still have any money?

The place they finally managed to settle down is just a stone's throw away, but they seem to be thousands of miles apart. Now that they have no money and are not allowed to enter the city, where should they go?

Looking at the complacent officials collecting money at the city gate, Xiang Jiuling couldn't help but sigh in her heart that in the year of famine, the lives of the poor people were like straw.

"Village Chief, let's calm down for a moment. We can't gather here anymore. We have to find a new place to settle down and then think of a solution."

These officials have no regard for the lives of the people at all. Whether they cry or beg, those people must be indifferent. If they want to enter the city, they have to find other ways.

The village chief also knew that what Xiang Jiuling said made sense, so he pulled his wife to the side and said, "You are right!"

"Dad, what should we do!"

Erniu could barely understand what the adults were saying, and turned around to tug on Wang Cheng's sleeve.

Wang Cheng couldn't give out a penny now, so he could only touch his son's head and said, "It's okay, dad will find a way."
