Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine
Chapter 40 Finally enters the city
Yao Shu managed to keep a straight face, but the village chief, Shen Nanshan and others were frightened half to death. They never expected that Yao Shu would dare to talk nonsense in front of the steward.
This is someone from the county magistrate's house.
It was said that for the eighth-rank officials in front of the prime minister, if their lies were exposed, wouldn't they be in trouble? Don't be dragged to fight at that time. Thinking of this, their hearts froze.
But Yao Shu had already spoken out her words. They couldn't ruin the situation at this time, so they could only remain silent.
Even the village chief didn't dare to speak, for fear that something bad would happen.
Manager Lin thought for a long time and hesitated before making a decision. He would rather believe that this kind of thing happened. If he found out that Yao Shu dared to deceive him, he would have many ways to take revenge.
"You come with us."
He pointed his finger at Yao Shu, but as for the others, he didn't take it seriously.
Before the matter has been completely concluded, he does not dare to bring so many people into the city, especially so many young people. If any trouble occurs, it is not something that a small manager like him can afford.
"They are with me. Please be accommodating."
Unexpectedly, she was actually allowed to accomplish this matter. Yao Shu was extremely pleasantly surprised. She did not expect that she had actually deceived people, and things went more smoothly than she imagined.
Although she was able to enter the city, she was not satisfied with this. At least she had to have a companion, otherwise she didn't know what she would encounter after entering the city.
In case someone killed someone and took away the treasure, she had to make some protection for herself.
However, the decision on this matter was not in her hands.
"Haha, that's a good idea. You can only enter the city alone."
Manager Lin glanced at the Shen family behind Yao Shu with disdain.
In his opinion, these people were no different from refugees. He despised them extremely. If he really brought this group of people into the city, he didn't know how much trouble it would cause him.
This result was expected by Yao Shu, and she was not particularly disappointed.
After all, the other party was just a steward. It was difficult to bring so many people into the city when the city gates were under martial law, but she didn't expect that she would have to go alone.
She was still a little scared. After entering the city, she would be alone.
"Please let one more person enter the city. I am also worried that something has happened to the treasure, and I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with the master's family."
Yao Shu said soft words. Now that they had something to ask for, they could only put aside their integrity first.
"Hurry up and get to the back of the car because you've been wasting so much time."
Manager Lin didn't want to argue outside the city anymore. In just a short while, he had already seen many refugees walking towards this direction. He guessed that they had seen the signs and came to cause trouble.
There were so many refugees outside that even if he was under the county magistrate, he would still be frightened just looking at them.
These days, it is not uncommon for refugees to cause trouble and unrest.
"Thank you so much."
Yao Shu quickly responded, dragging Shen Nanshan towards the back of the carriage.
As for the expectant look in the village chief's eyes, she simply ignored it. It was not convenient for outsiders to know what she was going to do in the city this time, so it was more reliable to take Shen Nanshan with her.
The two of them were sitting on the frame at the back of the carriage. This was the worst position in the carriage. As the carriage ran forward, Yao Shu was choked by the dust raised. She quickly took out her handkerchief. The mouth and nose were covered.
"Old lady, why do you just...what should I do?"
Shen Nanshan was finally on the way into the city, but he felt extremely uneasy and panicked. He even thought of jumping out of the car and running away.
"What did you say? The wind was too strong and I couldn't hear you clearly."
Yao Shu's ears were filled with the sound of horseshoes clattering. Even if Shen Nanshan was talking right next to her ear, she couldn't really hear it.
Currently still on someone else's carriage, Shen Nanshan did not dare to speak loudly for fear of causing trouble. The expression on his face was not to mention how tangled it was.
Looking at his embarrassed look, Yao Shu finally guessed a little bit.
Presumably she was worried that Manager Lin would find out that she was lying, and she would be punished. Even Shen Nanshan didn't know that she was carrying a glazed gold hairpin.
"Don't think too much, I have an idea."
"it is good."
Her simple words were enough to make Shen Nanshan feel at ease.
Just because in Shen Nanshan's knowledge, the ideas that his old lady came up with were always reliable and would never cause their family to suffer.
Yao Shu was also extremely satisfied with his reaction. Just be obedient, otherwise she would have to spend time thinking about how to explain.
From a certain perspective, the two of them are very compatible.
Soon we arrived at the city gate, and even the carriage from the county magistrate's house still had to stop and search.
Seeing the officers and soldiers coming to search, Yao Shu's heart was raised. She was really worried that something would go wrong, but it would be very annoying if she was stopped at the last minute.
"Who are these two?"
"I went to work in the house."
Manager Lin explained casually, and the officers and soldiers raised their hands to let him go. After all, they were servants of the magistrate's family, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to offend him.
The carriage entered the city smoothly.
This was the first time that Yao Shu experienced the appearance of an ancient city. It was not that shocking at all. She only had one thought: this town was too shabby and poor.
There are low-rise buildings on both sides of the street, which look incompatible with the brightness. Most of the pedestrians walking on the road are wearing patched clothes. There are many beggars in the corners and on the roadside.
There are so many refugees outside the city. How can the people living in the city fare better?
No one is immune to natural disasters and man-made disasters. Yao Shu quickly put these thoughts behind her and decided to find a way to overcome the difficulties at hand.
Otherwise, she might die thinking about these issues.
"You guys wait here."
The carriage stopped at the back entrance of the county government office, but Manager Lin did not let them in. Instead, he asked them to wait at the base of the wall.
"Good."
Yao Shu felt the concierge's dislike of them. She glanced at Shen Nanshan. He was already wearing shabby clothes, and was covered with a layer of dust after riding in a carriage. He became even more unattractive.
And she was definitely not much better, so she quickly walked to the base of the wall.
They stood by the wall, no one paid any attention to them, and even looked at them in disgust.
Such a good opportunity, Shen Nanshan said excitedly.
"Old lady, why don't we run away now?"
He was extremely afraid of going into the Yamen. They had already entered the city anyway, so they had better run for their lives before anyone discovered they were lying.
When the time came, they hid in the city and couldn't find him even if they tried to look for him.
"If we leave, what will happen to the children and the villagers? They are still outside the city."
Yao Shu asked rhetorically.
