Chapter 1 (1/2)

The walls of the capital are tall and towering as if they were giants.

Yuxi looks at the wall with surprise. She escaped from Chuang Tzu and now she has walked for half a month, suffered from cold and hunger, and finally she is going home.

The guard on the city wall looked at Yuxi and knocked on the gate. He shouted loudly, ”go away quickly. If you don't go away, don't blame me for being rude.” The gate of the capital was closed a month ago, and no one was allowed to go in or out without an ultimatum.

Yuxi looked up and shouted, ”I'm not a refugee. I'm a girl from the Korean government. Please open the gate and let me in!”

The soldiers at the gate think it's very interesting. They can tell all kinds of lies in order to survive these days: ”why don't you say that you are the sister of the empress?” The soldiers are not cynical. Today's Queen is from the South Korean government. This woman said that she was a Korean girl, not the sister of the empress.

”The empress is really my sister,” Yuxi called out immediately She and the queen are half sisters.

There was a laugh at the gate of the city. The soldiers were too lazy to talk nonsense. The most effective way to deal with such people was to use force to frighten them. He took up his bow and arrow, and was ready to shoot at the woman under the wall. However, he was also stopped by a soldier with a beard beside him. Hu Zinan said coldly, ”don't you think it's humiliating to put down the bow and arrow and start at an unarmed woman and child?” Those bandits can't kill. They can only bully these women and children. They are heroes.

The young soldier put down his bow and arrow and dared not shoot again.

”There is a refugee camp in the West. If you want to live, go west,” Hu told Yuxi He also pointed out a way for the woman.

It was getting dark and the wind was blowing on him. Yuxi shivered with cold. Now he had to walk to the refugee camp in the West step by step with his stick.

There are too many victims. The imperial court is afraid that there will be unrest if these people are not placed properly. Therefore, a piece of land in the West will be set aside for them, and two more porridge will be given every day so that they can survive, so that they will not make trouble.

There are many wooden houses built by the refugees, but these wooden houses that are not leaky and water inflow are not Yuxi's business. A woman in the refugee camp took her to the thatch shed made of branches and leaves and said, ”the people who lived in the thatch shed died this morning. It's just free. You live here!”

Yuxi's face, which had no blood color, became whiter and whiter. His lips wriggled for a long time before he said a word: ”thank you.”

The woman took a look at Yuxi and saw that she behaved like a lady, and she didn't know how to fall into such a field. But she also has no time to care, where can care about the woman in front of her, she said expressionless: ”do not go out at night, if there is no danger.”

Yuxi has been frightened for half a month. Fortunately, in order to avoid the danger, she not only smeared her face dirty, but also smeared a kind of grass, a kind of medicine that emits a smell. That's why she walked to the city gate safely.

Yuxi gets into the thatched cottage, a peculiar smell comes on her face, and the smell of her body makes people vomit. Yuxi bit his teeth and held back. It's nice to have such a thatch shed at night. At least it can keep the wind away.
