Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Standing in front of the gate of the government office, Yao Shu once thought that she was in the wrong place. She really didn't expect that a county government office could be in such a dilapidated state.

I can't say it for sure, but if I really want to say it, it's shabby.

This is the most miserable yamen Yao Shu has ever seen. She doesn't need to inquire any more. She knows that Yuan'an County is really poor, so poor that its military equipment is very poor.

It is also difficult for the local county magistrate. Under such circumstances, he can still give porridge to the people. He is really an excellent official.

"Old lady, what are we going to do next?"

Shen Nanshan only glanced at the Yamen one more time without thinking about anything else. When he saw the Yamen guard guarding the Yamen entrance, he felt very panicked. Although he had done nothing wrong, he was subconsciously afraid.

"Let's go."

"Leaving now?"

They had just arrived, why did they leave so quickly? Shen Nanshan was a little confused and didn't understand what Yao Shu was causing.

"You still want to go in and take a walk?"

Yao Shu rolled her eyes at Shen Nanshan. She didn't expect the other party to understand her intentions. Walking on the street, she lost her direction and didn't know what to do next.

Since Yuan'an County is not a place to stay for a long time, where should they go?

The more than half a year of escaping made Yao Shu exhausted. Not only was she physically tortured, but her soul also had no destination.

Nowadays, no matter where you are, there is no stability. In troubled times, the people at the lowest level are like ants. It is really difficult to survive.

"Old woman, come to your senses."

Shen Nanshan pulled Yao Shu hard, and she was just a little bit close to colliding with someone.

If it had been in the past, Yao Shu would have fallen down and then made a fuss and made the other party pay for the trouble. But considering her recent changes, Shen Nanshan did not dare to do this.

Yao Shu finally came to her senses. She shook her head as if mocking herself. Why did she think so much? The first priority was to find a suitable place to go.

She had to go and find out which areas were safe now. See where the wealthy families were fleeing, so they could follow them instead of looking for a place to stay all the way north.

Who made the rebels' attack speed not much slower than their escape speed?

It can be seen that the court is really incompetent.

Of course, these words cannot be said out loud. Yao Shu still knows that these are taboos, she said to Shen Nanshan.

"Old man, let's go sit in the teahouse."

Teahouses and taverns have always been the most well-informed places. Yao Shu would go to these places if she wanted to find out information, especially those elegant teahouses where people with wealth came and went. Maybe she could get the information she wanted.

After hearing her arrangement, Shen Nanshan had no objection at all, although he didn't think the tea soaked in water was delicious at all and there was no need to waste money.

In his imagination, they should sit in a tea shop. Looking at the two-story exquisite tea house in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little stage frightened.

He has never been to such a good place in his life.

This is no place for people with weak legs like them to go. Don't be kicked out as soon as they arrive at the door. Shen Nanshan couldn't help but retreat.

"Why don't we leave?"

"What are you afraid of? You've already been a guest at the county magistrate's house. He has seen big events. Are you still afraid of this? It's not like we can't afford the money."

There was no trace of timidity on Yao Shu's face. To her, this was no pressure at all. It was just a better-decorated teahouse, and that was all in her eyes.

After all, it’s not like she hasn’t been to better places.

"you're right."

Shen Nanshan straightened his back immediately. He was also someone who had seen big scenes, so he couldn't get stage fright at this time.

Seeing his bluffing look, Yao Shu suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth and did not expose Shen Nanshan. With that look, others could see that he lacked confidence at a glance.

When they arrived at the teahouse, the waiter came over immediately, but instead of coming to greet the guests, he quickly took them aside.

"What are you two here for? There is no shortage of people in our restaurant. If you want to find work, go look elsewhere."

The waiter's words were very smooth. It can be seen that he has encountered many such situations. The refugees outside the city are trying to find a job to support their families, so people come to inquire basically every day.

When he saw the clothes of Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan, he knew that they were refugees from outside the city, so he quickly stopped them, not wanting to disturb the customers in the store.

Yao Shu knew that the other party had misunderstood. Since the waiter's attitude was quite good, she didn't feel embarrassed and explained immediately.

"We're here for tea."

"what?"

The waiter looked confused and didn't even react immediately. No wonder he was so surprised. This was really unusual. He had been working in the teahouse for several years and had never encountered such a customer.

It's not that he judges people by their appearance, but it really looks like he doesn't even have enough to eat.

But since the other party had made his intention clear, he couldn't neglect the guest and apologized immediately.

"I'm really sorry. It's all my fault for being clumsy. You two can come in."

"nothing."

Yao Shu smiled and shook her head. She really didn't care about this.

The two found a seat in the lobby and sat down. She ordered a pot of cheap tea and a rice cake, intending to take the cake back to satisfy her children's cravings.

She herself wanted to eat something serious.

Shen Nanshan, who was sitting opposite Yao Shu, felt very uncomfortable. He looked left and right, then took a big sip of tea and immediately grimaced. The tea was not delicious at all and had a bit of a bitter taste. With this kind of money, I might as well buy a piece of pork.

But he also knew that this was outside and he couldn't lose points, so he just endured it and didn't say anything.

Seeing his mischievous look, Yao Shu couldn't help but laugh. This really made people don't know what to say. She pushed the plate of rice cakes over.

"Eat some of this."

Sitting in this teahouse is actually a bit boring, and it is even more difficult for Shen Nanshan. There are some things he cannot say in the teahouse for fear of being looked down upon, but he can stay here and do nothing. My heart was filled with panic again.

After half an hour, he couldn't sit still anymore and asked Yao Shu in a low voice.

"Old lady, when are we leaving?"

"Wait a minute, there will be a storyteller in the teahouse later."

Yao Shu would not leave just like that before she got the news she wanted to know. It was still early and the tea house was not at its busiest yet.

As soon as he heard that someone would tell stories, Shen Nanshan waited patiently. They spent money anyway.

As time went by, there were more and more guests in the teahouse, and it finally became lively.
