Chapter 87
There are so many people, why don’t you lose face?
"Brother Baicai, we may choose to go to Baili County."
Baocai looked at her in disbelief, "Have you decided yet?"
Jiang Yan pulled her and nodded, "We made this decision when we came out of the capital. Even if we go all the way, we will never look back."
He held Jin Yan's hand seriously and stubbornly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
Jin Yan's eyes almost turned red, so she held him tightly with her backhand, hoping to give him some comfort.
Baocai trembled his lips, and it took him a long time to react, "I really don't know what to decide at the moment. I can't stop you from wanting to go to Baili County, but I...I."
"Brother Baocai, it's okay. Just follow your heart. It's good to go back to the capital. The drought situation in Hachinohe County is not much better than that in Jinyun County. At least you won't feel so uncomfortable when you go back."
Jiang Yan's words seemed to appease Cabbage, who lowered his head and said nothing.
Soon the soldiers here began to separate the people. Jiang Yan and Jin Yan held hands, looked at Baocai and shook their heads helplessly.
"I, let me go to Baili County with you!"
Jin Yan was stunned, "Baili County is a long way away and you have left your hometown. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to return to Jinyun in this life. Brother Baocai, have you really thought about it?"
Baicai smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I've always known that it was all thanks to you that I could get here like this. If it weren't for you, we would have died a long time ago."
Jin Yan not only saved their family, but also generously built a carriage for them to protect them from danger. He never skimped on food and drink along the way and always treated them as his own.
"To put it bluntly, even if I'm ungrateful and take my family back by myself, I might be targeted on the road and it's not impossible that my whole family will die."
He had always kept what happened that day in mind. He and Baozi Niang could not protect him at all.
Jiang Yan immediately patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, even if we go to Baili County, we will never be alone if we go together."
Baocai nodded and wiped his eyes, "You are right, we are not a family anymore, so we have to go together!"
After the three people discussed it, they went to the team in Baili County. Compared with other teams, the total number of people in Baili County at the gate of the entire city did not exceed fifty!
And most of them were arrested because they were causing trouble or trying to escape.
Because the household registration is something very important to them, just like the ID card and the household registration book, they cannot be lost. If they have the household registration, they will definitely be able to go back.
A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.
Jin Yan and Jiang Yan looked helplessly and found an inconspicuous place to stay.
Jiang Yan squeezed her palm and whispered, "You don't have to worry about them. I told Jiao Jiao before leaving. If you see something wrong, you can make your own judgment, but you must ensure your own safety."
Jin Yan suddenly felt warm in his heart, "Why did you think of telling Jiao Jiao this when you left? It's hard for a child like her to endure hearing this and stay there."
Jiang Yan smiled in a low voice, "Although she is young, she has a stable temperament and is extremely sensible. This is very similar to you."
Maybe what kind of person will teach you what kind of person you are. After Jin Jiaojiao followed Jin Yan, he didn't have the weak feeling of a woman in a boudoir at all.
You won't always worry about me just because you are young.
She is sensible and capable, and her thoughts are more delicate than many people. If she is raised well from a young age, she may become a famous lady in the capital when she grows up.
Jin Yan immediately looked at him angrily, of course she was excellent.
However, it was rare for her to hear any kind words about Jin Jiaojiao from this person's mouth, so she was still quite surprised.
It's not that Jiang Yan has a tough mouth, but he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who takes others to heart. After all, his status is there. Even if he is down and out, he still has this royal demeanor.
.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Soon, everyone was divided. There were only four teams on this trip, and they were going to the other four counties.
Except for some local people, they were all heavily guarded and did not dare to move at all.
Jin Yan took a look and saw that there were really not many people going to Baili County. There were only a few Baili people, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.
There was no joy on anyone's face, they all looked sad, as if the sky was about to collapse.
Li Yufang explained the good things and began to take them away one by one, leaving a few soldiers and horses to protect the city.
"Walk!"
Jiang Yan hugged Jin Yan tightly and looked at the people who came to rush them away with an unhappy expression.
The number of guards in Baili County was half less than that of the other teams, with only a dozen people, but each of them had a fierce look and looked extremely difficult to deal with.
A group of people followed reluctantly, and the guards surrounded them, leaving no chance of escape.
After leaving Shengdu City, the road to Baili County became so remote and narrow that no one could believe that they would go to that barbarian land in the future.
As they walked on this so-called official road, they were even afraid that some mountain kings would jump out at the next second.
Jin Yan and the three of them had been riding in a carriage all the way and had barely walked a few steps. Now that they were walking together, they actually found it difficult.
Jiang Yan felt sorry for her, "How about I carry you?"
Jin Yan shook his head, there were so many people, how could we lose face?
Baocai looked back and forth, always feeling uneasy, "There are not many people in our group, although there are dozens of them, but look at how skinny they all are."
That's right. Those who can go to Baili County are not willing to go to Baili County. They are all arrested for causing trouble in front of Shengdu City.
There are very few people who have no choice but to come here without household registration, and they are one of them.
And she also discovered that when she was so hungry that she no longer had the strength to lift her feet, her speed was really not much better.
Fortunately, they were not criminals, and the guards did not scold them. They only asked them to walk faster.
The entire team had not walked for long when suddenly one person in the crowd became crazy and ran as hard as he could into the woods nearby.
He was still shouting, "I won't go to Baili County, I won't go to Baili County!"
This frightened many people. When they saw him running away, some people immediately became restless.
Baili County is a long way away, who wants to go there and suffer!
Two of the guards immediately went out, and the rest immediately surrounded them.
"Don't move! Daring to run away is a death penalty for resisting the decree!"
These words immediately frightened the person who was about to make a move. They were indeed well-trained and quickly brought the person back.
Unlike when he ran, he came back covered in bruises and one of his legs seemed to have been broken.
Seeing his miserable condition, everyone swallowed their saliva and shrank back in fear.
A man stood out from the guard and looked around coldly, "Don't try to escape. Baili County is a long way away, and there are many bandits around it. If you go out, you will die. Even if you are lucky enough to escape to the capital, you can't get in without documents."
Now the policies everywhere have changed. All the refugees are returning to their hometowns. Those who do not follow will be sent to nearby places to increase the population.
Hachinohe County is the closest to Baili County. Naturally, people from the surrounding areas have to go to Baili County, so the refugees are particularly strictly guarded. Anyone caught will be taken away without a word.
Hearing this, most people's hearts froze.
"Let him follow you, but you can't let him die."
"yes."
