The four little cubs had never seen so many people before, and they looked around curiously like everyone else.

When Liu Guang turned around, he saw Jiang Xiaohua about to climb up the tree. He hurriedly said, "Look over there!"

The other three followed Liu Guang and watched.

But I saw Jiang Xiaohua holding the tree trunk with both hands and climbing up flexibly.

Climbing to a height of about two meters, she raised her hand and grabbed the thickest branch in the middle, and stretched her body upward.

The whole person stood up firmly.

The four little ones looked up under the tree, their mouths wide open in surprise.

Liu Guang raised his hand and pushed his chin up, "Why is she so good at climbing trees? She looks like a monkey."

Xiao Miaomiao retorted, "Don't say mother is a monkey."

The monkey grinned and his face was covered with hair. My mother is so beautiful, how could she be a monkey?

Liu Guang grinned, "I was complimenting her."

Xiao Miaomiao didn't buy it, "No, we're not allowed to say it anyway."

While the brother and sister were arguing, Jiang Xiaohua was already standing at a high place and could clearly see the situation in the distance.

From where they were, walking along the official road, they could see the city wall and gate about ten miles away.

This should be Baishui Town.

The ten miles of land were crowded with people, and many people were sitting on the ground around the fire.

The basic situation is almost understood.

Jiang Xiaohua hugged the tree trunk and slid to the bottom. Before her heels could stand firm, she heard the sound of clapping.

She turned around and looked into the fiery eyes of Xiao Miaomiao and Liu Guang, and couldn't help but laugh:

"Why are you two looking at me like that?"

Liu Guang's face turned red with excitement, "How did you do it when you climbed up the tree just now? Can you teach me?"

In the past, he had climbed trees with other children in the village, but he had never seen anyone with such an ability.

If he also learned to climb trees like this, other children would be envious to death if they saw him? !

Xiao Miaomiao also raised her hand and said, "Miaomiao also wants to learn, go up the tree and watch the birds!"

Jiang Xiaohua was a little helpless, "You two want to learn to climb trees with me?"

The brother and sister nodded expectantly: "Yeah, yeah!"

Jiang Xiaohua thought for a while and said with a smile, "It's not that difficult."

She glanced away, the sadness in her eyes fleeting, "I can't leave today anyway. I'll teach you how to climb a tree after dinner."

Liu Guang was very happy when his wish came true. He called Liu Yong and Liu Ming and said, "You two should learn together."

Although Liu Yong is not very interested in such "childish things" as climbing trees.

But I still thought to myself, "Well, it's always good to learn more skills."

Liu Ming refused, "I don't want to learn. If I have that skill, I still want to learn from Mr. Li."

Liu Guang hugged his younger brother and said, "Let's learn together. Climbing trees is fun!"

Liu Ming sneered, "Humph, childish."

Li Yuanzhi captured Jiang Xiaohua's worry at that moment, taking advantage of the children's discussion about learning to climb trees.

He asked in a low voice, "Are there too many refugees in front and they can't leave in the past two days?"

Jiang Xiaohua nodded, "The people at the front were guided by officers and soldiers, and they were driven to leave in three groups."

"Looking at the number of people in front of us, it will probably take at least a day or two for our turn."

She raised her head and looked at the sky, "I'm afraid that God waits for no one. I'm afraid things will change tomorrow morning at the latest."

Li Yuanzhi's face also looked a little ugly.

They have no food now, although they can survive for seven or eight days with the dried meat they previously stored.

But if the weather suddenly turns cold and the whole family is still wearing single clothes, how can they survive this?

Li Yuanzhi turned around and left, "I'll get more firewood."

More and more people are gathering around here, and I'm afraid they can't even find firewood for heating.

Jiang Xiaohua nodded and looked at the four children.

She secretly made up her mind that since she would become their mother by fate, she must protect them.

Jiang Xiaohua patted her head and said with a smile, "We won't leave tonight."

"I know you might feel bored, but there are people everywhere right now, so in order not to cause a commotion, you just stay here with us."

Oolong understood, walked to a tree, turned around a few times, and chose a comfortable position to lie down.

Some of the fellow refugees also ran forward to inquire about the situation.

When they came back, they all said they couldn't leave today. Everyone put down their bags and divided the places where each family would stay tonight.

Jiang Xiaohua also took down the iron pot and baggage and found a place to put them.

She looked at the distant city wall again.

There is such a blockage outside the city, but there are so many people in the city who have to maintain their lives.

There must be merchandise to be shipped in and out.

If you can meet a caravan outside the city...

Jiang Xiaohua wanted to wander around again, but the few people she knew most were not there, and her four children were left unattended.

At this time, Sister-in-law Zhang ran over with a secret joy on her face. She grabbed Jiang Xiaohua and said, "I just heard from those who came before that porridge is given out every evening under the city wall in front."

"And there is a lot of porridge cooked. There are eight porridge shacks, one pot after another. Almost everyone has a share."

"But they also said that the porridge in the front is thicker than the porridge in the back. Why don't we take the baby to queue up earlier?"

Sister-in-law Zhang had good intentions this time.

As soon as she heard these words in the crowd, she was the first to run back and inform Jiang Xiaohua.

The four little Douding also heard what Mrs. Zhang said, and they all looked at Jiang Xiaohua.

Jiang Xiaohua’s principle in life has always been self-reliance and self-improvement.

Queuing up to eat porridge given to the homeless was something she had never imagined in her previous life.

But the current situation...

Jiang Xiaohua met the children's eyes and thought, although they have had meat every meal since the top of the mountain, the whole family has not eaten real rice for several days.

These four little guys must be craving for rice porridge.

Jiang Xiaohua smiled at Sister-in-law Zhang and said, "Thank you sister-in-law. You will inform us when you hear the news."

She waved to the four little ones again, "Take our bowls, we won't cook tonight, let's go eat porridge."

The cubs were very happy and cheered to get the bowl.

Mrs. Zhang also called her three children over.

Since the center of the official road was full of people taking a rest, Jiang Xiaohua and others had to go around carefully to avoid stepping on others.

Unexpectedly, just after walking a few steps, I heard the sound of carriages and horses coming from behind.

Another group of officers and soldiers came trotting over, shouting, "Get out of the way! Get up!"

People sitting in the middle of the official road had to stand up in a hurry and run around with their baggage.

After the officers and soldiers drove them away, a road was finally cleared for a carriage to pass.

Jiang Xiaohua held the children tightly and stood by the roadside to watch.

I saw a dozen flatbed carriages approaching slowly in a long queue.

In addition to the few people following the carriages and horses in the middle, there were also a dozen strong men in black walking on both sides.

Each of these strong men is wearing a weapon. Judging from their steps and behavior, there is no doubt that they are all practicing masters.

Someone in the crowd whispered, "What kind of valuable items are in this car that need to be escorted by so many people?"
