Chapter 953 The Nighttime City Visit Incident
Sun Xiaobao nodded his little head.
"I've grown up. I'm not only filial to Uncle Lu and Grandpa Zhuang, but also to my parents, grandparents, and uncle!"
Hearing Sun Xiaobao's words, the group couldn't help but burst into laughter through their tears.
Sun Dahai's wife handed the child to her mother-in-law, while she took the medicine bag, water bag, and earthenware pot, preparing to brew the medicine.
The Sun brothers, Dahai and Dahai, prepared to rebuild their tent.
It's still a bit cold at night these days, and you can't sleep without setting up a tent.
The family was busy with their work in an orderly manner.
It was nighttime, at 6:45 PM.
At this time, all was quiet outside the city, and most people were fast asleep.
Steward Zhou arrived in the dark with several guards. Seeing everyone waiting, he whispered:
"How's it going? Is everything packed?"
Bai Song nodded hurriedly.
"Manager Zhou, we've finished packing. The money is all ready and over there."
Manager Zhou was very pleased with his understanding when he heard him say that.
He glanced at the guards following behind him and pulled Bai Song aside.
"Is the money prepared as I instructed?"
Has that portion been prepared separately?
Bai Song whispered:
"Don't worry, everything has been prepared as you instructed."
The separately prepared portion will be brought directly to your car in a bit.
Manager Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I guarantee I'll bring you all into the city safely!"
After the two agreed, Steward Zhou opened the box and took a look inside.
After confirming that everything was in order, he ordered the guards to load the boxes onto the vehicle.
As he watched all the money being loaded onto the cart, Steward Zhou glanced behind him.
Seeing that there was no movement from the other camps, he waved to signal everyone to follow him.
This time, Bai Song's carriage was at the very front.
Following closely behind was Lu Qingqing's carriage.
As the carriage moved, the wheels made a slight sound as they hit the ground.
Hearing the noise, Sun Laohai and his family all looked up.
The family was very downcast as they watched the group leave.
Only Sun Xiaobao was fast asleep because he had taken his medicine.
Ahead, Bai Song drove the carriage, leading the group closely behind Steward Zhou and his companions' carriage.
As the procession drew closer to the city gate, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Whether we can get into the city depends on this trip.
Before long, the procession stopped at the city gate.
Steward Zhou stepped forward and knocked rhythmically on the city gate.
I repeated this process twice before stopping.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy city gate creaked open.
Just as things were getting tense, the sound of running suddenly came from behind, and everyone turned around to look.
As the sound of running grew closer, Lu Qingqing could see the figure of the person approaching.
It was the same family of refugees who had arrived during the day.
Just then, the man from that family pushed his cart and ran towards this direction.
Behind him, a woman was holding a child, and an old man was also standing beside him.
As they approached, the guards at the front immediately went on alert.
During the day, Steward Zhou had already ordered his men to screen all the refugees in the vicinity.
The family that came only had a wheelbarrow piled high with their belongings, so they didn't look like they were wealthy.
Naturally, they were left behind.
As the people approached, the guards drew their swords and went to the back to block them.
Steward Zhou and the soldiers inside the city gate also noticed the anomaly.
The soldier was somewhat wary, but then he heard Steward Zhou urge him on:
"Alright, they're just a few refugees. The guards dealt with them."
Open the city gates quickly, let's go in first.
It's so cold tonight! The wind chills you to the bone!
The soldier knew him well and peeked outside.
Seeing that there was no trouble, he called to the soldiers beside him to open the city gate together.
The heavy city gate slowly opened, and Bai Song took the lead.
As he entered the dark, unlit city gate, his heart pounded wildly.
Soon, several carriages followed.
However, just as it was Wu's turn to go inside, a commotion arose behind him.
"Why can they get in, but we can't!"
"Since people can enter Dongyuan City, then we should enter too!"
Some argued loudly, while others prayed softly.
"Sir, please let us in."
My whole family is healthy and absolutely none of us have contracted any diseases!
As the commotion arose, many people at the campsite outside were awakened and got up to check the situation.
Upon discovering that the city gate was open, he immediately called to his family and ran towards the gate.
The noise woke up the other sleeping families.
Within moments, all the troops stationed outside the city gates woke up.
Those families who had pitched tents were reluctant to throw them away and hurriedly packed them up.
Everyone was anxious, fearing the city gates might close at any moment.
During this time, there were inevitably sounds of men beating and scolding women, and children crying.
When Steward Zhou and the soldiers at the city gate heard the commotion, their expressions changed drastically.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry up and get in now."
If refugees arrive, the city gates will be closed immediately, and everyone will be locked outside!
Upon hearing this, everyone disregarded the volume of their voices and rushed towards the city gate.
The soldiers, who were originally at the back of the line, pushed and shoved their way forward in order to get into the city.
The villager in the middle was so crowded that he almost fell over, and he struggled to keep his balance.
Wheat Ear Girl, who was pushing a wheelbarrow, was pushed and fell to the ground.
His knee slammed hard against the bluestone pavement, and the pain kept him from getting up for a moment.
Mai Sui wanted to help her mother, but heard her mother shout anxiously.
"Maisui, hold the cart. Push it quickly inside, and Mom will catch up right away."
Mai Sui was extremely anxious, but she also knew that her mother was right.
She gripped the handlebars tightly, trying desperately to straighten the bike.
Unfortunately, she was young and lacked strength.
I tried to lift the toppled wheelbarrow several times, but I couldn't get it right.
