However, there is one thing that Erbao doesn't understand, "Mom, they are all bad people, why did you let them go?"

When they were escaping, they encountered bandits, but the government officials killed them all. Why did they let them go today?

In fact, Dabao was also a little curious. For him, the bad guys were to be eliminated to avoid future troubles. "Yes, mother, what if they do bad things again in the future?"

Before Xiang Jiuling could speak, Wen Xi explained, "This place is close to the capital, and the people who come and go are all traveling in groups or with family influence. They can't benefit from them at all."

The three children nodded in understanding.

The children listened carefully, and Xiang Jiuling took the opportunity to check Erbao's wound. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, but she decided to wait until he recovered before setting off.

Wen Xi didn't say much, he just led the horse to the back mountain to graze.

Dabao and Erbao went to the surrounding area to collect dry firewood and make a fire.

Qin Zhenzhen helped Xiang Jiuling cut vegetables while taking care of Sanni.

When Wen Xi came back from feeding the horses, he also brought back a rabbit, which he had already gone to the river to clean up.

Several children were very happy when they saw a rabbit eating. Xiang Jiuling could only change his mind temporarily and ate the rabbit.

Chop the rabbit and stew it, add the seasonings exchanged from the space, add some wild vegetables, and put the rabbit meat into the pot. After a while, you can smell the aroma wafting out of the pot.

Their family of five plus one Qin Zhenzhen could eat enough rabbit meat in a pot. When they smelled the aroma, they all gathered around and sat together.

Fortunately, it was just a skin injury and did not damage the muscles, bones, or arteries. He was mostly healed after a few days of recovery.

Wen Xi felt that he could not delay any longer. After all, there was still some distance to go to the capital, so he took them on the road.

When we reached the official road, the number of people walking forward gradually increased, some were fleeing and some were on their way.

Not far away is Jinyang City, the largest city from the capital. Many people are queuing to enter the city at the door.

They had never seen so many people lining up in many cities before. Wen Xi felt something was wrong, so he asked a few people to wait where they were. He went to inquire about the situation first.

After a while, Wen Xi came back. It turned out that an investigation was being conducted at the city gate. After all, it was the city closest to the capital. Many people wanted to rest here. There were many people, but the city only accepted passers-by, not refugees.

Enter to avoid crowding.

Of course, there has been a serious famine in the past two days, and there are refugees everywhere. Although these refugees are not allowed to enter the city, the city lord still has people giving porridge at the city gate every day to prevent the refugees from starving to death.

"This city lord is not heartless!"

Having seen those officials who exploited refugees before, this city lord's behavior was simply a hundred times better.

Fortunately, Wen Xi had already prepared to clear Wendie. He had never used it before, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy now.

Several people quickly stepped forward and lined up.

While watching the slow movement of the team, Qin Zhenzhen suddenly seemed to see something. Suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she saw something that excited her, and then she rushed towards the city gate.

At this time, Xiang Jiuling couldn't hold back anyone she wanted to pull, so she could only watch Qin Zhenzhen rush to the city gate with an excited face, shouting to someone, "Brother Lin Xuan, brother Lin Xuan!"

Lin Xuan, who was standing at the gate of the city checking, looked back at Qin Zhenzhen and immediately showed a surprised look. He walked up to Qin Zhenzhen in three steps and two steps at a time. He looked at the person in front of him in disbelief and said, "Zhenzhen, it's really...

You? You...why are you here?"

Seeing that Lin Xuan still recognized him, Qin Zhenzhen couldn't help but blush, and said in a very aggrieved voice, "Brother Lin Xuan, I...I..."

Seeing that Qin Zhenzhen was crying and unable to speak, Lin Xuan quickly calmed her down and said, "Okay, stop crying. Let's go to the city first and tell us what you have to say slowly."

Qin Zhenzhen couldn't help but follow Lin Xuan for two steps, then he realized what he was doing and stopped immediately. He held Lin Xuan's hand with his backhand and wiped his tears, "Wait a minute, brother Lin Xuan, thanks to someone who has helped me along the way.

Help, can you take them into the city with you?"

Lin Xuan frowned unconsciously when he saw the people brought over by Qin Zhenzhen, but said nothing, "Okay, let's talk about it first in the city!"

Lin Xuan greeted the soldiers at the city gate and let Xiang Jiuling and others into the city. When he looked at Wen Xi and Xiang Jiuling, he unconsciously took a few more glances. He always felt that this couple did not seem like ordinary people.

Seeing that the soldiers at the door did not check Xiang Jiuling and others as usual, many people in line were a little dissatisfied.

Some people couldn't help shouting, "Why did they get in so easily?"

As soon as someone came forward, the other people who had been waiting in line for a long time but couldn't get in also started shouting.

The soldiers guarding the gate did not tolerate them. They directly picked up the spears in their hands and stabbed the troublemakers. The scene was calmed down instantly. Those people were unwilling and did not dare to make trouble again. They could only watch helplessly.

Several people entered the city.

In fact, those people were just talking fast and they didn't really dare to do anything. After all, you can go to the capital after passing the city, and the city lord was still giving porridge at the door, so they couldn't get any benefits from making trouble.

Seeing a farce calmed down by the soldiers' forced suppression, Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi looked at each other, with a different look in their eyes.

Following Lin Xuan into the city, Qin Zhenzhen also gave Xiang Jiuling and others a brief explanation.

Lin Xuan was her childhood playmate, and they met later. Lin Xuan accidentally saved her and they recognized each other, but later she was kidnapped and separated again. She didn't expect to meet again.

After hearing this, Xiang Jiuling unconsciously looked at Lin Xuan who was walking in front. His tall and straight back looked a bit tougher, but also revealed the elegance of a scholar. If it weren't for the obvious military uniform on his body, he would really look like

He is the son of a wealthy family.

However, it was thanks to him that they were able to enter the city smoothly today.

"Mom, the city is so lively!"

Her thoughts were interrupted by a pair of small hands. Xiang Jiuling looked back at Sanni who was holding her hand and looking around. She unconsciously smiled and began to look at the layout of the city.

The streets in the city are quite spacious, paved with stone bricks in all directions, and the floors are clean. The shops along the streets are also dazzling, and there is an endless stream of customers. It is more prosperous than the previous towns.

A group of people followed Lin Xuan inside, and Qin Zhenzhen finally found a chance to talk to Lin Xuan. She looked very excited, unlike her usual submissive appearance, she looked a little excited.

Lin Xuan also looked very kind, talking to Qin Zhenzhen gently, and the concern he showed unconsciously made Qin Zhenzhen appear shy like a daughter.

In fact, Xiang Jiuling didn't know much about Qin Zhenzhen. He took her with him just because he felt sorry for her. It would be a good thing if Qin Zhenzhen could really settle down.
