In the year of disaster, the tough peasant girl is not easy to mess with

The village chief asked seriously, "What are your names?"

Ye Lingzhi smiled and replied, "My name is Ye Lingzhi, and her name is Ye Lingyao."

The village chief nodded, "Where did you get separated from your family?"

Ye Lingyao didn't lie, she just said, "Even in Xingqing Mansion, I originally walked with my family, but I met a kidnapper on the way and sold me to a human trafficker. The two of us, brother and sister, escaped, but we couldn't find them. It’s time for family.”

The village chief nodded, "Okay, then you can follow us. I am the leader of these people and their village chief. They all call me Village Chief Chen, and you can call me that too."

Ye Lingzhi nodded obediently, "Thank you, village chief."

Village Chief Chen looked at the two of them and said nothing more.

"Then you can rest here first and set off early tomorrow morning."

Both of them also responded.

Seeing that Village Chief Chen was about to leave, Ye Lingyao hurriedly asked, "Village Chief, wait a minute."

Village Chief Chen turned around and looked at her in confusion, "Girl, what else can you do?"

Probably because Ye Lingyao is just a little girl, the village chief's attitude towards her is also very kind.

Ye Lingyao nodded and asked directly, "Grandpa, village chief, where are we going?"

Village Chief Chen smiled and said to them, "We are going to Dongyang Mansion."

"Dongyang Mansion? Where is it?"

Village Chief Chen did not hide anything from them, and replied with a smile, "Dongyang Mansion is still far away from here, so don't worry. If you are separated from your family, we can ask slowly along the way. We can still get some news."

Ye Lingyao was grateful, "Thank you, village chief."

Village Chief Chen stroked his beard and left with a smile.

Ye Lingyao glanced at Ye Lingzhi and was about to call him by his first name, but suddenly thought that they were brother and sister now, so she could only call him brother reluctantly.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Second brother, are we going to Dongyang Mansion too?"

Ye Lingzhi suddenly heard the second brother's voice and almost didn't react.

After reacting, he laughed out loud.

But he still suppressed the laughter that burst out of his mouth and replied, "Go ahead. We don't know where our parents have gone at the moment, so we might as well go together. Maybe there will be news about them along the way."

Ye Lingyao didn't say anything more.

Silent all night.

Day two.

Everyone got up early and started on their way.

Because there were more people, they walked a little slower.

Ye Lingyao didn't say much, she just followed the crowd.

The village chief also observed the brothers and sisters. After realizing that they did not complain and could keep up with the team's progress, the two paid no more attention.

As long as these two people don't hold them back, they can reach the next city safely.

Along the way, I met some people walking alone and others traveling in groups.

Regardless of whether he was thinking about it or not, after seeing this large group of people, he still didn't dare to have any bad thoughts.

After all, there are many strong men among this group of people, but they may not be able to defeat them.

So they walked along peacefully.

It wasn't until they arrived at Tianchang Mansion that they breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, they could go to the next city as long as they entered Tianchang Mansion and exited from the other side.

But because of the war, Tianchang Mansion has been under martial law.

They arrived two days late. The gates of Tianchang Mansion had been closed long ago and no one was allowed to enter.

The village chief was also a little anxious and hurried over to negotiate with the guards at the city gate.

But the guards were really tough and wouldn't let them get close.

"If you go any further, we can treat you as a mob and deal with you on the spot."

Village Chief Chen was startled, "Hey, sir, I don't dare to say that. We are just farmers, how can we be a mob? We just want to pass from here, and we won't stay in there for a long time."

But the man waved his hand very forcefully, "Come on, hurry up, this place is under martial law and no one is allowed to pass. Do you think what the government said is a joke? If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude." .”

As he said that, he reached out and pulled out half of the knife.

Village Chief Chen was so frightened that he immediately took two steps back and did not dare to go any closer.

Seeing this situation, the others quickly pulled the village chief back and did not dare to come any closer.

The guards at the city gate breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them retreating.

To be honest, he was also panicking.

With so many people, if they really can't be persuaded and they break out on the spot, the person guarding the door will be the one who suffers!

The best thing to do now is to persuade him to go back.

As for how they got there?That's none of his business. Anyway, the order from above does not allow anyone to go there alone.

Forget about the people who passed by before. Now, no matter whether they are refugees or something else, as long as one comes in, there is a possibility that a spy can get involved.

By then none of them can save their lives.

Now I can only take care of everyone.

They are also helpless.

Village Chief Chen pulled his head and was supported back by two people.

As soon as everyone saw this, they immediately became anxious.

"Village Chief, what happened? Why are you like this?"

"Village chief, are they not letting us in?"

"Village chief, please tell me quickly, we are worried to death."

Listening to everyone's urgent words, the village chief was helpless.

He also wanted to go in, but the group of people refused to let them pass. What could he do?

Now, if this matter is brought out, I'm afraid everyone will only become more anxious.

Before the village chief could speak, a group of women and children started crying.

"Oh, God, will you let us live?"

"What should we do? If we can't get through, are we going to wait here to die?"

"I don't want to die!"

Listening to the cries of everyone, the village chief's head hurt more and more.

"Shut up for me!"

The village chief shouted angrily, and everyone was so frightened that they immediately stopped crying and talking, and did not dare to say a word.

Village Chief Chen saw that everyone had calmed down, and then he said, "Master Guan at the city gate has already said that Tianchang Mansion is currently under martial law! No one is allowed to enter. If we want to pass through here, it will be difficult. It’s possible.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started crying.

The village chief's head started to hurt, but he asked thoughtfully, "Village Chief, do you have other ideas?"

Upon hearing this man's question, the cries of the others stopped abruptly.

The village chief sighed and hesitated to speak.
