She Doesn’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

  Chapter 136 Entering the City

  On their way, they found that many villages and fields were submerged, and many refugees were rushing towards the county seat.

  Hua asked curiously.

  "Is the county seat not submerged by water?"

  Jin Linger explained: “I heard that a canal was dug near the county seat. The water has flowed along the canal and will not accumulate in the city.”

  Hua Manman asked again: "If that's the case, why don't you build canals in other places?"

  Jin Linger is embarrassed and authentic.

   "I don't know this anymore.

  We came here to find relatives from other places, not locals in Fu'an County.

  Many things are just hearsay, and I don’t know much. "

  Humanman asked: "The relative you are looking for is in the county seat of Fu'an County?"

  Jin Ling'er nodded, and then explained with some embarrassment.

   "In fact, we originally wanted to go to the county seat, so we just stopped by to show you the way."

  Flower waved her hands, not caring about the authenticity: "It's okay."

  The place where they are located belongs to the jurisdiction of Fu'an County.

  There are many cities and towns affected by the disaster. Fu'an County is considered to be more severely affected, but because of the construction of canals in the county seat, the county seat of Fu’an County remains intact.

  Many refugees rushed to the county seat of Fu'an County, wanting to find a way out there.

  One by one, they have yellow and thin faces, ragged clothes, and their eyes are all blank and numb about the future.

  They don’t know what the result will be at the end of this road.

  But they have no other way out except to keep going.

  The distance between the county seat is relatively long, and the road is slippery on rainy days, so Huamanman and his party travel more slowly.

  Sister and brother Jin Linger almost fainted because they were too hungry on the way.

  Hua Manman and Li Ji are not much better, they are hungry.

  They wanted to hunt, but all the low-lying places nearby were flooded. They could only go to the high places. Finally, they were lucky enough to hunt a nest of rabbits in the high woods.

  They cooked the rabbits and ate them.

  This is just barely feeling full.

  In order to avoid starving again on the road, they spent some time searching in the mountains.

  This time they found two snakes and some wild fruits.

  They roasted the two snakes, wrapped them in clothes together with wild fruits, and took them on the road as food reserves.

  Relying on such a little food, they rushed to the county seat with difficulty.

  However, they could not enter the city.

  Because the city gate is closed.

  The refugees who came from all directions were turned away. They had nowhere to go but stayed in the wasteland outside the city.

  Looking at the flowers, almost all the mountains and plains are vagrants.

  Many of the refugees put up temporary tents with cloth to avoid wind and rain.

  But there are also many refugees who don’t even have a tent, so they can only squat on the ground and hold their arms tightly to endure the wind and rain.

  Li Ji looked up and saw many officers and soldiers standing on the wall.

  The officers and soldiers were looking down at the refugees from a high position, with a very cold expression on their faces.

  As if in their eyes, those below are just a bunch of insignificant ants.

  The family was hiding at the root of the wall near the city gate. Among them, a little girl had passed out of hunger, and a woman was holding her and crying.

  Flowers walked over, and handed over the last remaining wild fruit.

  Women stopped crying immediately when they saw something to eat.

  She snatched the wild fruit, stuffed it into her mouth, crushed it, and then fed it to her daughter.

  A wild fruit can't change the current bad situation, but at least it can make the little girl's breath less weak.

  The woman looked at Hua Manman only after she finished feeding her daughter.

   There was a look of embarrassment on her thin, yellow face.

   "Sorry, I was too anxious just now, I..."

  Flowers waved their hands to indicate that it was okay.

  She squatted down, looked at the daughter in her arms, and asked: "Why don't you enter the city?"

  Because of the wild fruit, women are grateful for Huamanman at this time.

  Hearing Hua Manman's question, the woman did not hide it, and said truthfully.

   "It is said that the county magistrate prevented us from entering the city."

  Flower was perplexed: "Why?"

  Women: "I don’t know the details.

  I heard people say that it was because there had been migrants making trouble in the city before, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the people in the city.

  The county magistrate was afraid that it would affect the security of the city, so he ordered the city gates to be closed and the refugees were strictly prohibited from entering the city. "

  Hua Manman: "Since you can't enter the city, why do you stay here and refuse to leave?"

   "Because the Gao family, Deng family, and Cao family in the city will cook porridge outside the city."

  When the woman said this, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

  Although it is just a tasteless water gruel, it is already a rare good thing under the current circumstances.

  Li Ji heard this and suddenly spoke.

   "Who are the three families?"

  Women look at Li Ji along the way.

  After several days of rushing, Li Ji's clothes have become wrinkled, her hair wet by the rain is attached to her face, her lips are white, and she looks a lot more desolate than before.

   But even so, his upright posture and outstanding appearance still stand out among a group of yellow-faced and thin-faced refugees.

  So when the woman saw him, she couldn't help but froze.

  Humanman introduced: "This is my mate, his name is Li Ergou."

  It's just a meeting in the water, there is no need to introduce a name.

  Flower Manman This is obviously trying to narrow Li Ji on purpose.

  Li Ji smiled slightly: "She is my daughter-in-law, you can call her a dog-in-law."

  Flower Manman: "..."

  The woman didn't notice the machine front between the two, and continued on the previous topic.

  "The Gao family, Deng family, and Cao family are all local clans in Fu'an County.

  It is said that a lot of powerful characters appeared in their clan, and some even entered the court and became high-ranking officials.

  Even if the local county magistrate met them, they had to give three points of courtesy.

  The three of them are all kind-hearted people. Knowing that we have been flooded and have nowhere to go, they serve everyone in the porridge shed outside the city every other day. "

  When she said that, she raised her finger to a straw shed not far away.

  There is the place where the porridge is served.

  Now the thatched shed has been occupied by a group of refugees, and it is full of people.

  Hua Manman sighed with emotion: "So all three of them are good people."

  The woman nodded vigorously: "Yes, they are all great good people, better than the county magistrate!"

  The county magistrate does not care about their life or death, but the three families are willing to give them porridge.

  Comparing the two, you can tell which one is better.

  Li Ji asked: "Has the court never served porridge?"

  The woman pouted her lips, her tone quite resentful.

   "The group of officials is the most vicious. They don't treat us refugees as human beings, so how can they give us food?

  I heard that there are a lot of grains in the warehouse of the county government.

  But the county magistrate just didn’t want to take it out, we had no choice but to watch. "

  Jin Ling'er, who had not spoken at this time, suddenly spoke.

   "Is the Gao family great locally?"
