"Let's go look elsewhere, or see if there are any rich people in there, and let's find a way to get in together."

According to the current situation of the two of them, Mu Xingchen couldn't think of any other way besides.

However, after waiting for nearly an hour, I didn't even see the shadow of half a bird, let alone a big living person, it was simply a wasteland!

"Damn, how is this place like a ghost, the gates of which have not been closed but no one wants to come in?"

Xinyue took a deep breath and felt a little like crying.

But at this time, I found an old man coming slowly from afar, with a small tricycle on his body.

"Hey, you look like there's someone over there!"

The two hurriedly leaned over without saying a word, and directly the other party was old, with a rickety body, and a skinny and weak appearance.

In an instant, I was a little disappointed, how could such a person help them enter the city?

"Sir, are you going into the city?" With a somewhat tentative mentality, Xinyue still asked expectantly.

But hearing this, the old man raised his head, but his vicissitudes of life were mixed with endless sadness, only to see him sigh and shake his head, "Where can I get in, these fifty taels of silver, it's like asking for our lives, and if you come out, you won't be able to go back for the rest of your life!" ”

This is really inexplicable, the two of them glanced at each other, and they always felt that this seemed to have a deep meaning.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Anyone who enters the city needs to pay the customs fee, we ordinary people, after we pass, we can no longer enter, my wife and children are inside, I don't know what the situation is now......"

Seeing that the old man became more and more sad the more he talked, the two of them were a little inexplicable, "You actually have to pay this so-called toll, since you have no money to pay, then why do you want to go out?" ”

It stands to reason that they can be self-sufficient in the city, so where would they be so ridiculous that they have to venture out of the city?

Speaking of this, it is even more ridiculous.

The old man said slowly, but he directly listened to the two of them stupidly.

It turned out that it was not such a policy before, since the new city lord took office, but in the name of the event, everyone was summoned outside the city, but who knew that an order for the gate fee was suddenly issued.

If anyone who can't afford to pay the money to enter the city, he will be blocked outside the city and will not be able to go back again until he has paid the money.

There is no doubt that the old man in front of him has spent all the family's savings, just to let the son who came out with him go to the city by himself, but he directly lives a wandering life outside.

"Now, I can only collect firewood to make a small living, and there is nothing else to ......."

When the old man said that he was sad, his tears began to surge uncontrollably, which made the two of them unbelievable at the same time, but also guilty, and hurriedly comforted: "Old man, don't cry yet!" ”

Barely stabilized, the other party's emotions trampled on, and finally relaxed, and Mu Xingchen also breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, old man, we can't go into the city now, I'm homeless, I don't know where to live, we can't afford to go into the city, and now we have nowhere to go, I don't know if we can ...... Staying overnight? ”

Although this idea is a bit cruel, after all, the other party has reached the point where it is difficult to protect themselves, but they don't want to sleep on the streets.

He's picking up leaks, and as long as there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, he is satisfied.

Speaking of this, the old man glanced at them, perhaps because he felt that they had common difficulties and sympathy, so he nodded, "I live near here, if you don't dislike it, you can live with me!" ”

"That's naturally not disgusting!"

Xinyue nodded again and again, where do they have the qualifications to dislike?

Without saying more, the two followed the old man all the way back home.

What I didn't expect was that the old man's home actually made a hole in the ground around the city, and barely supported the structure with wooden planks, which was simply not good for picking up leaks.

Occasionally, dirt rolled down, but the three of them were able to squeeze in.

"I've already spent all this money, and I usually rely on picking up wood to sell firewood, barely making ends meet, and can't communicate with my wife and children, so my life will be broken, and you shouldn't dislike it."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it, but I think it's so barren around here, you shouldn't be the only one doing this, right?"

No wonder they saw that the lawns were almost cut, and they had all been put in the caves as beds.

Such a big area, it can't be done alone, sure enough, the old man nodded with a sigh, "Around it, there are still a lot of people like me who live like me, everyone makes a living by chopping wood or some street performers on weekdays, but they don't usually come out much." ”

Originally, they could have rented a shabby house for a small amount of money.

But obviously they are separated from their relatives by a wall, and they really don't want to go too far away, at least living here, there is still a comfort in their hearts.

"Alas, I really didn't expect this old city lord to be so loved, but his son is so inhuman, it's really chilling."

For the sake of money, since he is doing this kind of unconscionable thing by unscrupulous means, he tortures the common people who are defended by the old Cheng clan with their rights into such a posture that life is worse than death.

"Forget it, it's appropriate to argue now, I heard that Kyoto is not very peaceful, and the emperor has become a puppet emperor, like ours, where there are many sufferings......"

"Puppet Emperor?"

These words attracted the attention of the two, Jun Yeli's whereabouts are unknown now, could it be that he has returned to the palace?

"Who do you mean by puppet emperor?"

"Who else can it be, it's our current emperor, the son of the former emperor, the eldest son of Jun Yeli."

Anyway, in this place, the birds don't bother to come and patronize, and they don't speak so carefully.

The words fell, which directly made the two of them dumbfounded, "Great, Jun Yeli is fine, then tolerance can be relieved!" ”

Hua Rong was worried all the way, and now she can finally feel more comfortable.

The two of them glanced at each other with indescribable joy.

"Okay, it's going to rain outside, I don't have anything to eat, there are two flatbreads left a few days ago, do you want to settle for some?"

The old man is quite kind, even if he is living in embarrassment, he will not be harsh and hungry for any reason.

"No need, we're okay, you can eat it yourself."

Let's not talk about whether the bread can be eaten or not, even if it can be eaten, the old man is so hungry, how can they be embarrassed to accept it?
