The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine
Chapter 23 Arriving in the Capital
The journey was relatively smooth, and there were no accidents for seven or eight days.
Because everyone was looking for herbs along the way, no one caught a cold again.
Although the Jiang family members still look lean, their bodies are much stronger than before.
Jiang Qingyi also did not forget to eat pomegranate seeds to maintain her skin color.
That night, they stopped on both sides of the official road 50 kilometers away from the capital, but there was no water source around.
Dinner was still dumpling soup, mainly because she couldn't come up with anything else now, and only the flour produced by the space was enough.
Jiang Qingyi was almost tired of eating it, but everyone else was very satisfied. This white flour was a fine grain, and other families couldn't even eat it like this, so there was no reason to dislike it.
After dinner, the village chief struck the gong again, and Old Man Jiang got up and went over.
But this time he was gone for a long time, and looked very worried when he came back.
After Old Man Jiang sat down, Old Lady Jiang asked, "Old man, why do you look like that? What did the village chief say?"
Old Man Jiang sighed and said, "We don't have a pass, so we may not be able to settle down in the capital. The people from each family discussed it for a long time but couldn't come up with a feasible solution."
His words were like a bomb that exploded in the hearts of everyone in the Jiang family, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Jiang Dahe's eyes were slightly red. "We finally managed to escape here, but those officials don't care about our lives?"
Jiang Dashan patted his shoulder and told him not to be so excited.
The family was silent for a long time, and in the end, they failed to come up with any rules, and went to bed.
Jiang Qingyi was not so worried. She still had two thousand taels of silver notes in her hand. If spending money was not enough, she could only use the jade pendant given by Sikong Zhuxuan, hoping to solve the problem of settling down.
The wind was blowing very hard that night. When Jiang Qingyi was practicing, she absorbed more blue light spots into her body, which means more water elements, and the temperature became lower.
Jiang Qingyi had a bad feeling because she felt it was going to snow.
At daybreak, tiny snowflakes began to fall from the sky, waking up everyone in Jiangjia Village who were still asleep.
Jiang Qingyi also woke up all the family members, and everyone started packing their things in a hurry.
The village chief also urged everyone to get on the road quickly, as it would be difficult to travel once the road froze.
The people of Jiangjia Village rushed to the capital in the light snow and did not even stop to rest at noon.
The journey would have taken more than a day, but they completed it in just one day.
At this time they were still on the official road, and carriages passed by from time to time.
The city walls of Zhou capital can be seen from afar.
The village chief and his family, who were walking in the front, stopped and the people behind them also stopped.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the city wall, because they had finally reached the capital and had hope of survival.
By this time it was already dark and the city gates were closed.
The village chief asked everyone to rest where they were.
Jiang Qingyi was not so optimistic. She felt that it was not easy to settle down in this most prosperous capital city.
After the Jiang family sat down, Jiang Qingyi sat down and said softly, "Grandpa, my father and I will go to the front to inquire about the news later."
After she finished speaking, she took out a bag of steamed buns from the space and handed them to Old Lady Jiang. "Grandma, you guys eat first. Hide them well and don't show them. It's not safe here. If someone comes to cause trouble, stay away."
After Jiang Qingyi finished speaking, she took a steamed bun, stuffed it into her mouth, and ate it as quickly as possible.
Then she stood up and motioned Jiang Dahai to follow her.
Seeing this, Old Lady Jiang quickly stuffed a steamed bun into Jiang Dahai's hand and told him, "Watch out for Xiaowu, and make sure he comes back safely."
Jiang Dahai put the steamed bun into his arms and said, "I know, mother."
Jiang Qingyi walked to Jiang Dahai and whispered, "Dad, remember to eat the bun in your arms later."
Jiang Dahai nodded and said nothing.
Jiang Qingyi was still a little worried, so she reminded Old Lady Jiang, "Grandma, if someone you don't know comes to ask for food, you must not give it to them."
Old Mrs. Jiang still had some understanding of this, and she nodded immediately, "Don't worry, our family all escaped famine, so how could we possibly have extra food to share."
Jiang Qingyi felt a little relieved, and then took Jiang Dahai towards the city wall.
In order to let Jiang Dahai finish the steamed bun in his hand, Jiang Qingyi slowed down a little.
Jiang Dahai swallowed the last bite of his steamed bun and said, "Yiyi, what are we going to see?"
Jiang Qingyi said calmly, "This is the capital. There are many places affected by the disaster over there. In addition to Jiangjia Village, there must be other people who have come here. We need to go and see what the situation is with these people, whether they have entered the city, and see how the officials will resettle them."
Although Jiang Dahai didn't quite understand, it didn't stop him from thinking that his daughter was amazing.
The two were stopped by two armored soldiers with spears more than 20 meters away from the city gate. "Stop! The city gate is closed. No one is allowed to enter without permission!"
Jiang Qingyi pulled Jiang Dahai back two steps. The two soldiers still stared at them with vigilance.
Jiang Dahai had never seen such a scene before, and he was also scared. The spears in those two men's hands were no joke.
Under the vigilant gaze of the two men, Jiang Qingyi carefully took out a small piece of silver from her bosom, about half an ounce, and then reached out to the two men.
One of the soldiers took Jiang Qingyi's money and said kindly, "I see you are also fleeing here. Go over there and take a look. The eldest prince has set up a refugee resettlement site over there."
This was exactly the news Jiang Qingyi wanted. After listening to the soldier's story, she took Jiang Dahai's hand and left, thanking him profusely.
Jiang Dahai's pounding heart had not yet calmed down even though they were far away from the city gate. But looking at Jiang Qingyi's expression, he felt that nothing had happened.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Jiang Qingyi saw torches lit over there and soldiers in armor patrolling, probably to prevent the victims from causing trouble.
Jiang Qingyi looked at herself, then at Jiang Dahai, and after making sure that their outfits wouldn't be too out of place, she pulled Jiang Dahai and said,
"Dad, let's go in and take a look, but you have to disguise yourself. Hook your back, squint your eyes, and don't show any expression on your face. Imagine what it's like to not have eaten for five, six, seven, or eight days."
If it was something else, Jiang Dahai might not be able to do it, but he knew exactly what it looked like to be hungry. He immediately pretended to be starving to death and asked Jiang Qingyi, "Yiyi, what do you think of this!"
Jiang Qingyi nodded in satisfaction. With such acting skills and this outfit, no one would believe that she was not a refugee.
Jiang Qingyi also reached out and rubbed her head randomly a few times, and her head instantly became a mess.
Jiang Dahai took Jiang Qingyi to the refugee resettlement site.
After entering, Jiang Qingyi frowned. There were too many people in here, and the smell couldn't be covered up even in such cold weather.
