The two of them listened to what the old man said for half the night. When it was dark, he got up and left.
The two of them were wearing tattered clothes and sitting near the dock listening to people talking.
Today's ship hasn't even arrived yet, and there are already many thugs and stewards gathered there.
The thugs are all strong and strong, holding majestic swords in their hands.
The victims who went to the river to fetch water did not dare to approach them and stayed far away from them. I'm afraid I'll offend those vicious stewards.
As the old man said, the reason why everyone stays here is because there is a big river here and there is no shortage of water.
There are several mountains nearby, where you can dig some wild vegetables and grass roots to satisfy your hunger.
Ye Yutong looked at the ship slowly approaching the shore and thought about what the book said.
After she fled to the capital with the villagers, she probably helped people load and unload goods at this pier.
She and Uncle Yongchang did not come to the capital this time. I wonder if there were other changes. Is it still developing as in the book?
"Ping An, do you think the people from Yejia Village will be relocated to nearby villages?"
Uncle Shitou and Uncle Daming were very helpful to their family in the village, and they were also good brothers of her father Ye Dafeng.
Now that she and Ping An are here, let’s go take a look! I don’t know how they are doing now?
Li Yunze nodded and said: "It's possible. Let's go to a few nearby villages to inquire today. If they are resettled, they shouldn't be too far away."
Ye Yutong asked: "Then when are you going to enter the city?"
"tonight."
He wanted to see Marquis Dingbei as soon as possible and only after knowing his thoughts could he make further arrangements.
"Okay, let's go to the nearby village first and ask. I'll go with you at night."
The capital is not the western capital, and the security here is even stricter.
I heard that the second prince is personally in charge of public security in the city and has countless masters under him.
Many of them are people from the martial arts world, and he spent a lot of money to invite the best people from various sects.
He was the one who hunted Ping An before.
Li Yunze didn't want her to take the risk, but he knew he couldn't stop her.
This girl has great ideas, and she cannot be persuaded to do anything she decides.
As soon as the two of them left the pier, a group of people from Yejia Village came over from the other direction.
There are Mu Mu, Tietou, Daming, Ye Dazhuang, and several other men from Yejia Village. They are here to work.
Shitou hasn't carried a bag for a long time. Ever since he injured his arm during the Chinese New Year, he has never recovered.
The family didn't dare let him do the heavy work of carrying a bag, for fear that his arms would become useless.
Now he and the women and children at home are cleaning up the two acres of wasteland that he opened last year.
Ye Yutong and Li Yunze searched several nearby villages but could not find anyone from Yejia Village. The sun was about to set.
The two returned to the pier, planning to go there to inquire again to see if there were any people from Yejiacun working on the pier?
As soon as I reached the fork in the road near the pier, I saw a group of men walking towards me.
Those people were dark and thin, and looked very tired.
Li Yunze protected Ye Yutong behind him, preparing to let those people go first.
But hearing their voices, Ye Yutong immediately came out from behind him and looked at the group of people carefully.
After seeing it clearly, she shouted in surprise: "Uncle Da Ming, Uncle Wood, and Uncle Tietou, I finally found you."
Several people were also startled by the familiar greeting, and they all stared at the two of them blankly.
It was Daming who reacted first, "Tongtong? Ping An? Why are you two here? Where are your mother, your brother and the others? And Yongchang and Wencai, are they here?"
Just as Ye Yutong was about to speak, she noticed an unkind look. She turned around and saw that it was Ye Dazhuang, her former second uncle who had broken off their relationship.
She swallowed back what she was about to say, rubbed her eyes, lowered her head and said nothing.
When everyone sees her like this, what else is unclear?
In these days, there are very few people who are as lucky as them to escape to the capital and survive.
Didn't you look at the old people at the city gate? How many people die every day?
Daming's eyes were red, and Stone, Wood, and several other villagers also looked sad.
There were only Ye Dazhuang and two other men who had had festivals with their family in the past. He stood there with a calm face, and there was gloating in his eyes.
Ye Yutong saw all this in his eyes, lowered his head and smiled.
Shitou's eldest brother Tietou said: "It will get dark soon. Let's go back first. If we have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we get home."
The road was not smooth, and they were still carrying the freshly received steamed buns in their arms, so many people were staring at them.
Daming and Tietou asked Ye Yutong and Li Yunze to walk among them.
Their clothes were in tatters and their hair looked like a chicken coop with a few straws on it.
Daming helped them take the grass off their heads, feeling very uncomfortable.
Brother Dafeng, I wonder if he can come back?
Yongchang and Wencai are no longer here either. The five of them were sworn brothers, and only he and Shitou were left.
Tietou also remained silent. Yongchang and Wencai had been close friends since childhood. After only a few months of separation, they were gone.
The attentive Mu Mu saw something was wrong between the two of them.
Although the faces of these two children were painted black and yellow, they were not at all as sallow and skinny as the victims outside.
Moreover, this girl Tongtong looks chubby on her face and is fatter than when she was in the village before.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Ye Dazhuang and several other villagers hurried home.
When he left, he didn't even look at Ye Yutong and Li Yunze. He was probably entangled with these two burdens.
They have broken off their relationship. Whether they are dead or alive has nothing to do with their family.
The remaining men looked at the two of them awkwardly, and finally sighed and left.
They both have a large family, and they really can't take care of these two children.
Daming said: "Tongtong, be safe, follow my uncle."
Tietou stopped him, "Let the two children go to our place! Our house is more spacious, so they can squeeze in with a few children."
The Daming family only has three thatched houses. Both parents are still alive, and the four brothers are not separated, they all live together. There is no place to stay at home.
If the two children were taken back, his sisters-in-law, brothers and wives would definitely not be willing to do so. It won't be nice to cause trouble then.
Daming also knew the situation in his family. If the two children followed him, they would definitely be angry.
He sighed secretly, took out two steamed buns from his arms, and gave them to Ye Yutong and Li Yunze.
After carrying the bag for a day, he earned three sorghum corns. I ate one for lunch, and these were the only two left.
"Then let's go home with your Uncle Tietou and Uncle Mu. In a few days, your Uncle Shitou and I will go find Li Zheng and see if we can build a house for you two here?"
Ye Yutong listened to the conversation between several people and was deeply moved. Only when you are in trouble can you see clearly whether the person around you is a human or a ghost.
"Uncle Daming, Uncle Shitou, Uncle Mu, Uncle Yongchang and Uncle Wencai are all doing well in the northwest, and so are my mother and two brothers.
I came here specifically to see you today. Ping An and I will be going back in a few days. "
