After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Shen Qingqing smiled and waved her hands: "Oh, it's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

Shen Qingsong, who was not far away, couldn't help laughing when he saw his sister laughing so hard that her eyes were narrowed into slits, but pretending to be indifferent.

He raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingtang, raised his hand to return the greeting from a distance: "Miss Gu, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. As my younger sister said, it is just a small favor."

Gu Qingtang stood up, looked at the lovely Shen Qingqing and then at the handsome and chivalrous Shen Qingsong, his eyes slightly red.

She bowed again and said, "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will remember your kindness. May I ask your names and where you live? One day, I will repay you with gratitude!"

Shen Qingqing and Shen Qingsong looked at each other, knowing that they couldn't reveal their names at this time, so they waved their hands and said

"No need, Miss Gu, it's just a small matter, it's not necessary to be like this!"

"Yeah!"

Gu Qingtang saw that the two seemed to have something to hide, so he didn't force them and took off the jade pendant from his waist.

"In that case, please accept this jade pendant as a token of trust. If you need it in the future, you can bring this jade pendant to Qingzhou City to find the Gu Mansion. The Gu Mansion will definitely help you with all its strength."

After saying that, he placed the jade pendant in Shen Qingqing's hand, asked Chun'er to pay the doctor's fees, nodded slightly to a few people as a gesture of farewell, and walked out of the alley with Chun'er.

Shen Qingqing glanced at her elder brother and saw him nod slightly, so she put the jade pendant into her arms, but actually secretly put it into the space.

On this side, Gu Qingtang and Chun'er passed by two men who were tied up.

Chun Er frowned slightly, raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were full of anger: "You two are scum! Beasts! Bastards! How dare you bully my eldest lady!"

Chun'er cursed angrily and kicked the two of them hard several times.

The force was so great that the two grown men couldn't help but cry out for mercy.

Seeing that Gu Qingtang and the others had already left, Shen Qingqing and the others did not stay any longer.

He handed the two men over to a tall, strong, and upright chivalrous man in the crowd, and asked him to help send them to the government office, then left the crowd.

The onlookers saw that everyone had left and looked down at the two tied-up men. Some of them had flashing eyes and kicked the two men.

Some people also cursed at the two men. For a moment, the two men were in a miserable state, and the alley was filled with punches, kicks, and screams.

……

When Shen Qingqing and Shen Qingsong returned to the inn, everyone had woken up and they asked the doctor to change the medicine for Shen Qingyun.

On the second day of his stay to recuperate, Yan Chunsheng, who had gone out to purchase supplies, brought back bad news.

Wanted portraits of the five members of the Shen family have been posted on the notice board in the city.

Upon hearing this, the group immediately disguised themselves and moved to a small inn in a remote location.

During the few days of recuperation in the small inn, everyone noticed that there were more and more people in the city who were wearing tattered clothes, had pale faces and thin bodies, and looked like refugees fleeing from the war.

Yan Chunsheng was assigned to go and get the news. Everyone then learned that during this period of time, there was a flood in the northwest, and a large number of people were displaced. Originally, these refugees fled to the rich inland areas, but they were not allowed to enter the city at all, and were instead driven away by the soldiers guarding the city.

There was no choice but for this group of people to flee all the way to the northern border in an attempt to find a way to survive.

inside the house

Shen Lingyun and his group sat around the table.

"There are many refugees on the move right now, and this is also an opportunity for us. We should pay more attention to the bodies along the way, and take on the identities we find suitable. We can then continue to move around in a few villages with this identity, leaving some traces for people to verify."
