"After tonight, we will reach the county town tomorrow." Lin Yuanshan said to Qin Liang.

"Then let's go as fast as possible and get into the city before noon tomorrow. Then we can see what the situation is in the city. If we really want to go somewhere else, we can prepare some dry food in the county town."

Qin Liang frowned and expressed his plan.

After hearing this, everyone finally showed joy on their faces.

It was so tiring to walk all the way that the man even wore out his shoes from walking so much.

Some old people, boys, girls and children are fine, they can still sit on the cart from time to time.

But these men and some women actually walked all the way here, and their feet were covered with blisters.

Now that I'm in the county town, even if I can't really settle down there, at least I can buy some medicine.

Besides the man, the only other people who had been walking over were the two young men from the Yu family.

Neither of them got a ride on the cart, and they were scolded for going too slowly, and the resentment in their hearts was about to overflow.

But they didn't dare to stop, because if the two boys were separated from the main group, they would be finished.

The group started on their journey again, this time at a faster pace.

Everyone tries to see the city gate before dark. Even if they can't get in, at least they can get in early tomorrow morning.

They all saw the scene by the river just now, where many people began to flee.

It is always unsafe to stay in the mountains for too long.

At this time, another group of people came out from the mountain road on the left.

There seemed to be about thirty or forty people in this group, and they were all men.

Shen Nuo looked a little puzzled. Is there a village with only men?

They also had water bags in their hands and food on their backs.

It seems that they are moving much faster than other teams.

[Host, be careful of these people.] 819 spoke in Shen Nuo's mind at this time.

Shen Nuo nodded. He didn’t know why he had to be careful, but 819 would not harm him.

As he walked, Shen Nuo also saw more people on the road, and everyone was heading towards the county town.

The people of Yunzhu Village did not rest. The atmosphere of the whole team was completely different from yesterday. Some girls and boys also stopped complaining.

The closer we got to the county town, the more people we met.

I don’t know how long it took, but it got dark.

Lin Yuanshan found a place farther away from the other teams and nodded to the village chief.

Qin Liang raised his hand and asked everyone to stop and rest.

Then he walked over to Lin Yuanshan and asked:

"How is it? How far is it from the county town now?"

"It will take less than half an hour to get there. We just need to get out of this forest."

Qin Liang said happily: "Okay, then we will set off early tomorrow morning."

The other villagers in Yunzhu Village also heard it and took out their dry food to eat.

Some people who had no dry food at all found some stones, built a fire and started cooking.

But, just cook some rice soup.

Qin Yan did not go hunting this time. He just picked up some firewood nearby and cooked some rice soup.

After it was cooked, Qin Yan and Shen Nuo drank the rice soup from a bowl.

There is no other way. Water is hard to find now, let alone washing pots and dishes. Use as little as possible.

Shen Nuo drank a mouthful of rice soup and took out yesterday's cakes for Qin Yan;

"Eat it quickly. It's hot. If you don't eat it now, it will go bad."

Qin Yan didn't expect that the boy still had some cakes left.

Smiling and patting his head:

"Let's eat together."

I felt a little annoyed. The little brother had been suffering with me, and I had to save even the cakes for him.

He is so well behaved and so touching.

"Uh-huh."

Shen Nuo nodded, picked up the somewhat broken mung bean cake and started eating.

If you eat a bite of cake and then drink a sip of rice soup, you will be full quickly.

We ate a small bag of pastries, one bite at a time.

At night, many people slept on the ground.

One reason was that there were too many other people around, and the other was that I had to get up early and travel tomorrow.

If you sleep on the ground, you don't have to move things on the cart, which will be much more convenient when you set off tomorrow.

Qin Yan was on guard last night, and tonight it is someone else's turn.

Qin Yan spread a layer of hay on the ground and then put a straw mat on it, and Shen Nuo slept on it with Qin Yan.

It was dark around, with only the cold moonlight shining through, allowing Qin Yan to see the outline of the young man next to him.

Shen Nuo had his eyes closed the whole time, and suddenly he rolled over into Qin Yan's arms.

When he moved, Qin Yan also turned sideways and raised his hands to hug him, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

His tall body trapped Shen Nuo between him and the cart, and others could only see Qin Yan's back.

His big hands patted Shen Nuo's back gently, allowing Shen Nuo to sleep more peacefully.

What Qin Yan didn't know was that after he closed his eyes, Shen Nuo also curled up the corners of his mouth.

A dreamless night.

Perhaps because of the system and Qin Yan, Shen Nuo slept soundly.

The next day, Shen Nuo was woken up by Qin Yan. As soon as he opened his eyes, Qin Yan carried him to the car.

After giving him some dry food, Qin Yan started to pack up.

He and Shen Nuo don't need to pack anything.

The Qin family would ask him from time to time if he needed any help, but Qin Yan always answered no.

Seeing that he was indeed fine, Qin Yan's aunt asked Qin Hao to bring some dry food for them.

Qin Yan did not refuse and shared the meal with Shen Nuo.

Soon everyone packed up and set off again.

Today, everyone walked with a lighter step, thinking that they would soon reach the county town.

Half an hour later.

Under the leadership of Lin Yuanshan, everyone finally got out of the forest.

I also saw the city standing in front of me, and there were many soldiers guarding the city on the city walls.

At this time, the city gate was open, and soldiers were standing on both sides of the gate guarding the city.

Many people were queuing outside the city gate, waiting to have their household registration checked one by one before entering the city.

However, for some reason, there were still many people at the city gate who had not yet lined up.

The people in Yunzhu Village looked at them strangely, and they also looked at the people who had just arrived with strange eyes.

"I'll go ask what's going on first. You guys line up here first."

After saying that, Qin Liang walked quickly to the front.

I don’t know what he said to the officers and soldiers, but he nodded and came back.

"You can go in. Anyone from this county can go in. But you can't stay in there for more than three days."

"Where are we going to escape to?"

Aunt Qin couldn't help but speak.

The others also frowned.

"Let's go in and buy some food first. Let's go in and see what the situation is. Maybe it's not any better inside than outside."

After hearing what the village chief said, everyone else had no choice but to do the same.

The crowd lined up to enter the city.

The streets of the county town are obviously more desolate than before.

Those people at the city gate are all refugees who have fled from other places, and the government is not letting them in.

The people in the city didn't seem to be having a good time either. Some of them were holding rice, which must have been newly bought food.

Some were even pulling horse-drawn carriages and carts, and looked like they were about to leave the county.
