"I've never heard of it." The merchant shook his head again.

They have never even heard of Yanjing, so they are definitely not from the Yan country, but they have only been away for a few days, so it is impossible for them to reach other countries.

And even other countries must know about the Yan Kingdom, but the people here know nothing about it. Everyone became a little panicked, thinking that they had arrived in the underworld.

"Are you mistaken? This is not a place where monsters live." A timid woman muttered in a low voice. After saying this, she hugged her man tightly, as if she was afraid of being eaten by monsters.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Where did the monster come from in broad daylight?" Her man glared at the woman and scolded her.

Shen Nan felt that this was a bit like the Peach Blossom Spring recorded in Peach Blossom Spring. Maybe they had strayed into some paradise.

But it doesn't matter, as long as there are no strange powers or chaos, they can live no matter where they are.

The market here was too busy and no one was willing to leave. Seeing this, Wei Ci suggested that everyone find a shop to sleep in for the night.

The villagers who had been traveling for several months did not worry about the dozens of pennies. The group of people divided into several groups and stayed in the inn here.

The Shen family lived in the Yueming Inn. Following them were Li Zheng's family, Aunt Sufen's family, Qigong's family, Aunt Cuihua's family, and the grandfather and grandson from yesterday.

The first-class rooms cost fifty cents each. Wei Ci asked for eleven first-class rooms, and all of them stayed in them.

The others all asked for lower-class rooms, which cost twenty cents each and included bathing water.

After washing up, everyone went to sit in the hall. Wei Ci ordered two tables of delicious food, and they all sat on them and finally had a decent meal.

In order to save money, Aunt Cuihua and her family didn't go out to eat, so they decided to make do with just a few pancakes.

Nian felt it was inappropriate, so he went to the kitchen to order a few dishes and sent them to them.

Li Zheng, Aunt Sufen, and Qi Gong's family were quite generous and felt that they could not starve their children, so they all came downstairs to eat and ordered two dishes.

The shopkeeper is not that snobby. No matter how many dishes they order, they will serve them respectfully and provide attentive service.

Early the next morning, Wei Ba asked the boy to inquire about the news, but unexpectedly he got a piece of news from the boy.

"What? You mean they can't get out of the city gate?" Everyone asked in surprise.

"Yes, he said that in the past few decades, more than a dozen waves of people have come here one after another, and many people have stayed here. Only two waves of people have left, and they themselves cannot leave the city gate. , only those who come in from the outside can go out of the city gate."

Can we go out then? "Sanwa asked. Although it's a nice place here, he doesn't want to be trapped in a city for the rest of his life.

"Okay, they said people who come in from outside can go out." Wei Ba said.

"That's good!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The original joy of entering the city was diluted now.

"Let's do this. Let's buy additional supplies as soon as possible today and leave here tomorrow." Wei Ci said thoughtfully.

"Okay!" Everyone agreed.

He stood at attention and immediately sent people to inform the people staying in various inns. After everyone received the news, they all went to buy supplies.

But there are more than a dozen families who are unwilling to leave here. "Shen He, why don't you go back and talk to the village chief and let's stay here? It's so nice here. There is no drought and no corpses. We don't have to worry about dying one day." Someone advised.

Chen He looked at the excited villagers and didn't know what to say, "You have to stay here. I'll go back and tell dad that you don't have to leave with us tomorrow."

Chen He looked at them and said, "You think about it for yourselves. If you want to stay here, just send someone to the inn tonight to tell my father. I won't call you tomorrow."

After saying that, he looked at everyone, turned around and continued to inform others.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded. In the past few months, they had been on the road every day, had trouble eating and sleeping, and were frightened all the time. Now that they suddenly have a wealthy life, who wants to go back to the previous life.

When Shen He went back, his father was walking upstairs with a bag of rice. When he saw him coming back, he immediately called him over, "How are you? Have you finished notifying me?"

"Dad, some folks don't want to leave here." Shen He looked at him and said.

"That's it!" Li Zheng sighed, "I knew there would be such a day. Since it is their choice, there is nothing we can do about it. Besides, this place is indeed very good. I have fulfilled my responsibility by sending them here. .”

In the evening, a total of fifteen families came to tell Li Zheng that they would stay here, including Shen Dazhuang's family.

In this way, there are 65 people staying here and 120 people leaving.

Early on the next morning, the villagers who had packed up gathered on the flat ground in the market. They were counting the number of people and leading everyone away.

Those who decided to stay secretly ran out to watch them leave, not knowing whether they were more grateful or regretful.

The group of people slowly walked out of the ancient city gate. Everyone looked back and saw the three characters "Yuhua City" written on the city gate.

Not long after they left, as the sun rose, the ancient city gate disappeared without a trace.

However, they were already far away and naturally did not notice this supernatural scene.

With fewer people, the village had more horses to share. Two families bought the oxcarts of the villagers who stayed in the city.

Everyone bought grain and a lot of dry goods in the city. The Shen family also bought hundreds of kilograms of bacon and hundreds of kilograms of pork. Nian planned to use dozens of kilograms to make meat sauce.

Passing by Yuhua City, the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees as if passing through a curtain of ice. Everyone even felt a little goosebumps while walking in the woods.

"Did we go the wrong way? Why is it so cold here?" Nian asked. She rubbed her arms that had goosebumps and covered her two grandchildren with quilts.

"It should be that these mountains isolate the heat from the heat. I once read in a book that tall mountains can make the countries on both sides of the mountains different in terms of cold and heat." Shen Yue said.

"That's right, I thought this forest was too gloomy!"

Nian smiled.

"Yes, let's leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to make the journey when it gets dark." Aunt Cuihua reminded.

"Yes!" Shen Yue nodded, "In my opinion, everyone has worked hard these days. We are going into the mountains soon. It is not safe to go into the mountains at night. How about we rest for a night before leaving and continue walking tomorrow morning. "

"Okay, let's rest for the night and set off tomorrow morning." Li Zheng made the decision and called everyone to stop where they were.

In front of them is the tall Hegu Mountain, and they want to take the folk road between the two mountains. The mountains on both sides limit the area. If everyone rushes in at night, there will definitely be danger, so we simply wait until dawn tomorrow before entering.
