On a moonless night, Su Qingyu woke up on a bumpy donkey cart.
The driver was an old farmer.
in the car.
A thin middle-aged woman wearing a cloth scarf sat in front, holding a baby in her arms.
That was her mother holding her brother.
To the left of Su Qingyu, sat an older girl with withered and yellow hair. She had bound feet, was malnourished, and had a sallow complexion.
That's her eldest sister, Xiaocao.
On the right, sits a younger girl. She is wearing a shabby floral cotton-padded jacket. It can be seen that her life was good before.
That's her sister, Xiaohua.
Su Qingyu's current identity is Xiaoyu, the second daughter of a run-down landlord's family who fled to Ping'an City due to famine.
Good guy, all the flowers, grass and fish are here.
This family is all human.
Su Qingyu has not found any strange traces in this world for the time being.
By the way, this family also has the surname Su.
Su Qingyu's current identity in the dungeon is called Su Xiaoyu.
This world is a bit like the Republic of China, but the specific events don't match up.
The mother was extremely distressed and muttered: "Since a year ago, the fields have been unable to grow crops, and your father has starved to death.
After his death, he was buried in the ground, but his coffin was dug up, his body disappeared, and only a wild dog with red eyes ran out.
I just pity us orphans and widowed mothers. If we stay in the village, we will not only be bullied but also have nothing to eat.
Xiaoyu, a few years ago, your father fought in the war. Because of your meritorious service, you had an engagement with the eldest son of the Governor's Mansion in Ping'an City. This time we go to join him, and you have to behave well.
Only if the Governor's Mansion is willing to take us in will we have a way to survive. "
Su Qingyu relied on the memory given in the copy and replied: "I know, Auntie."
Behind the donkey cart were several dogs with red eyes.
They keep a distance from the donkey cart.
It didn't stop until the donkey cart entered the gate of Ping'an City.
Safe City is the name of this copy.
This city is located in a remote area, controlled by warlords, and is closed internally. People in the city do not go out all year round.
And the Governor's Mansion is a terrifying existence.
The old warlord levied tyrannically and made countless wives and concubines.
There are three sons in his family. The eldest son is taciturn, the second son is frivolous and exaggerated, and the younger son is the cruelest and likes to kill.
None of them are good people.
Following the mother's complaints, the group entered Ping An City.
At the gate of the city, my mother took out some dull pieces of silver and gave them to the coachman. The coachman took the silver and turned around to leave.
The mother handed half of the jade pendant in her arms to the soldiers guarding the city. The soldiers saw the token before letting them in.
Su Qingyu observed the street. The vendors on the roadside were very lively with their sales. People here not only used silver, but also used ghost coins.
They didn't seem to know what was happening.
In their eyes, underworld coins and dull silver are no different from ordinary currencies.
Here, it is like a pure land on earth isolated from the world.
Su Qingyu volunteered: "Auntie, I'll go find a passerby and ask about the location of the Governor's Mansion."
"Go, kid." The mother licked her dry lips and waved her hand tiredly.
Su Qingyu walked on the street. Most of the people here were wearing coarse linen clothes and their chests were pressed against their backs because of hunger. There were often dull-looking people sitting in the streets and alleys, not eating or drinking, just sitting in the shadows.
There will be people in black uniforms on the road, they call themselves patrol houses, and they will record the number of those people.
There were some small restaurants on the street, and almost every household was selling a kind of red wine. Su Qingyu stepped forward to observe and found that the so-called red wine was a red drink.
The Governor's Mansion is located in the west of the city, and the entire mansion is eerie.
The group of them was stopped outside the iron gate. The mother stepped forward and pressed the doorbell. The old housekeeper walked out on crutches. After the mother explained the reason to the housekeeper, the old housekeeper took out a bunch of keys with trembling hands and opened the iron gate.
"My master already knew that you would come and arranged a room for you." The old housekeeper led the way, "You just come with me."
Su Qingyu observed all the way.
There were not many servants in this mansion, and each of them was taciturn. After Su Qingyu and the others appeared, they would whisper and show expressions of surprise.
Su Qingyu saw the familiar sweeping aunt again. She had become the maid of the Governor's Mansion. She was sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard with a broom in her hand.
When Youyou saw her, he wanted to step forward and tear her into pieces.
Su Qingyu stops Youyou.
This sweeping lady cannot be killed.
If you kill one, more will come in one after another.
No need to waste time.
The old housekeeper said in an old voice: "No one has entered Ping An City for a long time. Is there still a war outside?"
Mother replied in a low voice and respectfully: "We have been living in a village near Ping'an City and don't know anything about the outside world."
Su Qingyu asked: "Old housekeeper, why has no one entered Ping'an City for a long time?"
Mother glared at Su Qingyu and motioned for her to be quiet.
Su Qingyu pretended not to receive the signal from her mother's eyes.
The old housekeeper laughed strangely: "In the early years, this city was constantly at war, and the people were in dire straits.
The old warlord came to Ping'an City a year ago, and he restored peace here.
In order to block the war from the outside world, the old warlord closed the city gate, and no one could only leave but not enter.
You are lucky. It is precisely because of the engagement between the young lady and our young master that the old governor gave special permission to allow you to enter the city. "
"It's my little girl's honor." The mother's attitude was very humble.
"A year ago? When was it exactly a year ago?"
Su Qingyu wanted to ask whether the old warlord appeared here before the strange arrival, or after the strange arrival.
The mother scolded sternly: "Xiaoyu, don't talk too much!"
The old housekeeper chuckled and did not continue to answer.
It seems that we have to find another way to get information.
Arriving at the guest room, the guest room was newly cleaned and the dust in the room had not yet dispersed. There was some food placed on the wooden round table. When Su Qingyu's sisters saw the food, their stomachs growled and their eyes lit up.
My mother is also suffering from hunger.
After bidding farewell to the housekeeper, they all gathered around the table. The mother took the younger brother out of her arms and fed him some broth with a spoon, while Xiaocao Xiaohua was eating the fragrant soybean rice bowl.
Su Qingyu looked at the food. The food was not freshly made at all, but was heated like the pre-made meals ordered in the Mingbao app.
Especially the soybean rice bowl, which is exactly the same as the "healthy food" Su Qingyu ate at [Sweet Home].
Although there is no weirdness anywhere in this safe city, there are traces of copies everywhere.
Xiaohua tied two braids with a red rope. She sniffed and asked, "Second sister, don't you want to eat? Do you want to try this soybean rice? The white rice is really delicious!"
