The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Early the next morning, Xiao Yuhan woke up in the flying house. Last night she was awakened by the monks on night patrol and returned to the houseboat. She came out of the flying hut, stretched out, and saw farmers busy in the fields by the river. The cattle and sheep on the side are also grazing leisurely.

The villages and towns along the way also attracted Xiao Yuhan's attention. On the shore, people are busy, some are fishing, some are drying millet, and some are working in the fields. In towns, the markets are bustling, merchants gather, and people are buzzing.

Since Xiao Yuhan traveled through time, she had never seen a village with living people, and she felt greatly relaxed both physically and mentally. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the breath of the river and the breeze. She recalled the splendor and glory of the Han Dynasty that she had learned in history classes in her previous life, as well as its decline and suffering. She also kept thinking about the fact that she was living in the troubled times for hundreds of years after the fall of the Han Dynasty, and now because of the emergence of a large number of monks, the future direction has become blurred. Can a peaceful and prosperous era of great unity emerge? And she How to deal with it.

Xiao Yuhan no longer considered these things that were beyond her control. She sat on the boat, adjusted her breath and meditated, feeling the peace in her heart, and the inspiration and insights that the two months of experience had brought to her.

At three o'clock in the morning, both sides of the Yishui River where the fleet is located are becoming more and more prosperous, the villages and towns are more densely packed, and the Xiapi City Wall can be vaguely seen in the west. A monk in Taoist robes walked up to Xiao Yuhan and bowed his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is compassionate and compassionate. He has arrived at Xiapi. I will inform you as ordered by Elder Liu."

Xiao Yuhan quickly returned the gift, and the monk handed Xiao Yuhan a blanket and said, "Elder Liu explained that you still need to prepare some mundane things when you go out. If Fellow Daoist Chen does not contact the family in time, these money can guarantee Fellow Daoist Chen's food and drink expenses for a month. "

Xiao Yuhan took the bag, bowed solemnly to the other party, and said: "Please tell Elder Liu that I will never thank you for your kindness. I will definitely go to Shangqing Palace to visit you in the future. Fellow Taoist farewell."

"The words of fellow Taoists will surely bring you endless life and blessings."

Xiao Yuhan held back her tears, turned around and got off the boat, and headed straight to the east of Xiapi City.

The situation outside Xiapi City was different from what Xiao Yuhan saw on the boat. Due to events such as the fall of Langya, the invasion of strange demons, and the Battle of Yishui River, a large number of refugees occurred in the more than 300 miles north and south between Lanling County and Xiapi County.

As far as the eye can see, there is a bustle of people and countless refugees gathered in the east of the city. They come from different places, some are fleeing war, and some are homeless due to natural and man-made disasters. They supported the old and the young. They were in ragged clothes and hungry. Many of them were already skinny and skinny.

Some of the people in the crowd were locals, but they didn't want to pay attention to the refugees. They believe that these refugees may cause them trouble, and they are unable to help them, so they choose to ignore their existence. The government also refused to accept these refugees, which made them even more desperate and helpless.

The scene outside the city is miserable. The refugees who arrived first can only erect simple shacks on the wasteland outside the city and barely survive. More importantly, the season is about to turn cold, and they do not have enough clothing and food to cope with the cold and hunger. Already some babies and elderly people have died due to lack of food and medical care, making the whole scene even more heart-wrenching.

Xiao Yuhan saw from the notice outside the city that Xiapi City had closed its north, west and east gates due to wartime alert, leaving only the south gate for people to enter and exit. At present, a large number of refugees are gathered in the east and west of the city. The terrain in the north of the city must be a military supply channel. There are soldiers patrolling and forcibly driving away the refugees. In this chaotic situation, the best way to find out about the Chen family is to go to the south of the city.

Xiao Yuhan came to the south of the city. The scene here was completely different from that in the east. There was a line of people stretching eastward for more than ten miles along the south wall of the city. Seeing that the city wall was close in front of her, but blocked by the flow of people, she had to go around to the southeast. crowd.

The Shili Pavilion in the south of the city is located in the southeast of Xiapi City. There is an inn in the pavilion for food and accommodation for people who come and go from the city. Since it was wartime, we were still close to the pavilion in Xiapi City. There were soldiers guarding the pavilion outside, and there were cavalry patrolling regularly during the day, so the security was good. Because Chen Subaru had been a soldier commander for a few days and had a Langya official biography, although his rank was very low, he still had no problem entering the pavilion.

Shiliting Inn has no name, so it hangs the sign of "Guest House". Due to the war and the impact of refugees, the civilian market in Xiapi City was basically closed. Only the official market was open. There was no one in the inn. The waiter was a man in his 30s, wearing gray cloth and short brown clothes. The shopkeeper was a woman in her 20s. Wear an orange floral train.

When the waiter saw Xiao Yuhan entering the door, he ran forward and greeted: "Your Majesty, please come this way."

Take Xiao Yuhan to a well-ventilated location in the store and wipe the tables and chairs with the rag in your hand.

After Xiao Yuhan sat down, the waiter shouted to the shopkeeper: "Madam, give the guest a bowl of water."

Then he stood beside Xiao Yuhan with a smile and said, "What do you plan to eat, sir?"

Xiao Yuhan actually has little interest in the food of this era. As long as it can fill his stomach, he said: "First come 10 cakes, and then two of your specialty dishes, a bowl of rice porridge."

The waiter's left cheek twitched when he heard the appetite, and then asked with a smile: "Do you want soup cakes, steamed cakes or oven cakes?"

"Oh? Your little shop has a lot of varieties, just oven cakes."

"Hey! The guest doesn't know. The noodles in our store are all made by Tingli Xiangqin with the help of us. It would be too busy for us husband and wife, right?"

"Oh, I don't know how to settle the bill?"

"Sir, I should have charged you 6 cents for this meal, but now the price has skyrocketed. According to the current food price, I have to charge you 270 cents. However, the current cloth transaction is still normal, you can settle the bill with three pieces of cloth. "

When Xiao Yuhan heard this, she thought to herself: Good guy, no wonder no one comes to eat, the prices have risen ridiculously!

She opened the bag Liu He gave her and saw a full piece of silk inside, with 4 gold bars wrapped in it. There was also a cloth bag exuding spiritual energy. She quickly took out two pieces of silk and put them on the table. So he put the bag away.

"Oh, guest, this is... too much, too much."

"You're welcome. You go and arrange the meals first. I have something else to ask you."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." The waiter hurriedly handed the two pieces of silk to the shopkeeper, and then ran to the kitchen to arrange the meals.

The woman in charge took out a clean water bowl from the counter, filled it with clean water overnight, and brought it over.

"Young hero, please drink water first. If you need wine, you can also call for the little girl."

Xiao Yuhan nodded and the female shopkeeper returned to the counter.

Not long after, the waiter came over and continued greeting her.

"Sir, the food has been served and will be served in a moment. What do you want to ask me?"

"Oh, let me see what's going on with the gathering of refugees in the south of the city?"

"My lord, this is your first time coming to Xiapi City. Buddhism is flourishing here. The Buddha Temple in the south of the city has a history of nearly 200 years. It is a lively place!"
