After talking to Juhua for a while and getting a piece of dried meat from her aunt, Gu Fei came back to eat when she saw that the meal was almost ready.

Ever since Su Chen and the others started eating together, they had meat every meal.

They took turns eating wolf meat and pork.

Today they were eating dumplings.

Mrs. Chen was a kind person. The family ate dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables, and cooked pork and cabbage stuffed dumplings for Su Chen and the other two. After all, she felt a little guilty about receiving a hundred taels of silver. Of course, as a patient, Gu Fei also enjoyed dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage.

But Chen Hu and Zhang Ze were superb eaters. They ate thirty dumplings each, but they were as if not full yet.

Mrs. Chen picked up a few more dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables for them.

After eating, they moved around for a while and then went to bed.

Su Chen took his ponytail toothbrush, dipped it in toothpaste, and brushed his teeth carefully, and then Chen Hu got him hot water to wash his face.

Even if there was a lack of water, this was something Su Chen had to do every day.

Zhang Ze spread the quilt to Su Chen. Just as Su Chen was about to get in, he suddenly looked toward Gu Fei.

Gu Fei had just taken off her sheepskin coat and was wearing a close-fitting small coat. The pink coat perfectly outlined the girl’s slightly undulating curves.

Su Chen’s mind “boomed”, his ears turned red, and he turned his head and got into the quilt.

In the morning, Zhang Laoda finally woke up. Gu Zhang brought some herbs to Mrs. Yu and asked her to boil them for Boss Zhang to drink.

Mrs. Yu was so grateful that she almost kowtowed to Gu Zhang.

The next few days were peaceful. There was no shortage of water here. Water could be drawn wherever there was a well.

At noon that day, Uncle Ma pointed to the front and said: “This is already the territory of Huainan County. Do you see the city in front? Only after passing that city can we truly enter Huainan County.”

Everyone cheered. Entering Huainan County meant that they only had to hurry on their way and no longer had to worry.

The convoy arrived at the foot of the city. The city wall was sandwiched between two mountains. If there was a war, this would be an important pass.

There were more victims under the city wall than ever before, almost densely packed. There were shacks everywhere in the open space in front of the city gate.

The convoy had to stop at the periphery. Gu Fei stood on the shaft and looked far away. The city gate was guarded by heavy soldiers.

Gu Zhang got out of the car and walked through the pile of victims with Gu Qing. When they walked to the city gate, they saw several rows of soldiers standing along the city wall. Several officers and soldiers were sitting at the city gate, checking the household registration of a young couple holding a child.

Gu Zhang went forward and was about to ask when he heard the officer say: “Go, go, people from Hedong County are not allowed to enter the city.”

A yamen runner next to him said: “Didn’t you see the big notice? All disaster victims from Xiqin County, Xishan County, Hedong County, and other counties are not allowed to enter the city.”

The couple was still begging when the officer next to them came over and drove them away with knives.

Gu Zhang and Gu Qing went to see the notice. It was written on the notice that household registration must be checked before entering the city. Anyone with household registration in these counties was not allowed to enter the city unless there was an official document issued by the government.

The two looked at each other, and their faces looked bad.

Turning around and squeezing through the pile of disaster victims, Gu Zhang told everyone the situation. Everyone was dumbfounded. They had come here with so much hardship, but they were not allowed to enter!

It was impossible to go back. These counties were in chaos, and there was no way to survive.

The village chief looked at Uncle Ma eagerly: “Uncle Ma, can we take a detour?”

Uncle Ma pointed at the mountain walls on both sides of the city wall: “Look for yourself, do you think that ordinary people can climb that mountain?”

Gu Fei looked over and saw that the mountain walls on both sides were high and steep. Unless one has the legendary Qinggong, no one can climb up.
