I insist

Chapter 51: Yin County

Song Miqiu and the others had just arrived and had no idea what had happened!

The only thing they can be sure of now is that they might not be able to enter the city.

However, while these people kept talking about the matter, none of them could explain the cause and effect clearly.

"Wait here, I'll go ask."

Song Miqiu took the initiative to find an old woman. At least the two of them looked to be the same age, so she shouldn't be rejected.

Sure enough, the old woman didn't show much wariness when she saw the equally old Song Miqiu approaching.

"Excuse me, what's going on here? Why is everyone being kept outside and not allowed to go in?"

"Girl, you escaped from somewhere else too, right? Don't even mention it! This Yin County is completely heartless; they're ungrateful and have no humanity whatsoever!"

Song Miqiu finally learned what had happened from the old woman.

It turns out that Yin County is actually very close to Lin City, but the two places are indeed at a fork in the road. However, the two counties often interact with each other, so they have a good relationship.

But for some unknown reason, a sudden flood broke out in Lincheng, which naturally led to most of the people fleeing the city.

Their first thought was naturally to come to Yin County, where they had the best relationship with Yin County.

However, unexpectedly, when all these refugees arrived, Yin County suddenly issued a new order.

"No one from Lincheng is allowed to enter! From this day forward, no one is allowed to enter or leave Yin County! Anyone who issues this order, regardless of who they are, will be imprisoned!"

As soon as this order was issued, it naturally aroused everyone's disapproval.

However, due to the city lord's military suppression, no one said anything in the end.

Later, they naturally heard about the flood in Lincheng and thought of the infamous bandit incident. Suddenly, they felt that their city lord had done the right thing.

But they never imagined that when they encountered difficulties, Lincheng had chosen to help them without hesitation!

But now, isn't this just crossing the river and then burning the bridge?

“These people are complete ingrates! It’s a shame that we supported them all along, and even opened our doors to them to do business in our Lincheng.”

Song Miqiu comforted the old woman and then went back.

After I explained the situation to them, everyone immediately frowned.

Except for Yu Huailin!

Looking at the man with a faint smile on his face, Song Miqiu suddenly realized something.

He had been wanting me to go to Lincheng with him, and if they wanted to move forward, they would have to pass through Lincheng or Yin County.

The reason she chose this route was because she didn't want to go to Lincheng.

But why did this happen right when they arrived in Yin County?

Is this really just a coincidence?

If that's really the case, Song Miqiu has to admit that they've encountered far too many coincidences lately!

Whether it was the last time Qiu Tianlei suddenly couldn't sleep soundly in the middle of the night, or this time they were forced to change their route to Lincheng.

Having learned from his previous experiences, Song Miqiu was no longer naive enough to think that Wang Xiang and his ilk could persuade the magistrate and city lord of Yin County to give him special treatment.

They couldn't even buy food last time.

If it weren't for Yu Huailin's intervention, they might have starved to death on the way!

Even if they don't, their savings have probably been almost completely depleted.

"Mother, since we can't go this way, why don't we change our route and go to Lincheng? It's just a detour, it's better than stopping here, isn't it?"

Ms. Tian felt really sorry for the two children and her mother-in-law. They had traveled for so long, and she was afraid that they would have given up long ago.

Although my mother-in-law has always been very assertive, she is still an elderly person, and if she continues to be subjected to this kind of stress, she will probably break down.

The two children are still growing, and not getting enough rest will affect them.

Song Miqiu was still hesitant, but at that moment Yu Huailin suddenly slowly approached.

"It seems it really is fate; you're coming to Lincheng with me."

Yu Huailin was clearly gloating when he said this, but his expression was really irritating!

Song Miqiu couldn't help but roll her eyes in an unseemly manner, but at this critical juncture, she didn't want to discuss these things with this man at all!

She didn't want to go in the first place, and then she said it was fate? This is just rubbing salt into someone's wounds!

In her opinion, this was probably not fate; perhaps this man was incredibly powerful and deliberately orchestrated this to force her to go to Lincheng.

After all, this man is very capable, so there's a high possibility that this is the case.

However, Song Miqiu would naturally not choose to ask this question at this time.

The people around were still cursing and swearing. As the sun rose higher and higher, the temperature naturally rose as well. These people hadn't had a full meal in a long time, and people tend to be irritable when they're hungry.

Moreover, what they had already experienced was already unbearable enough. Looking at these unwavering guards, some people were already itching to take action.

"Bring out your magistrate! We want to ask him if he's really so heartless!"

"We promised back then that Lincheng and you would always support each other, but look at what you're doing now, are you even human?"

They are only temporarily in trouble, so they have no choice but to ask for shelter here. But can't they even make such a small request?

Some people have already felt despair, and are even wondering if they have survived this flood by sheer luck, only to face life-threatening danger again because they did not receive timely help.

Thinking about this, they gradually became fearful again.

If natural disasters or man-made calamities do not receive timely assistance, many people will surely die!

Most importantly, he is very likely to be infected with the virus.

Song Miqiu frowned, not looking at the people shouting and cursing at the door. She didn't believe that the magistrate of Yin County would not understand such a principle.

But reality is just that cruel!

Seeing someone go in to report, the people gradually quieted down, still holding onto hope.

But when the city gate opened and the familiar county magistrate appeared, all they felt was despair.

"I've heard there are troublemakers here? In that case, I, the magistrate, reiterate: no vagrants are allowed to enter! If anyone dares to force their way in, throw them out immediately!"
