Chapter 109: Hukou Town under Martial Law
"Daddy, you can open your eyes now, I've got it done."
Yu Qingqing saw Yu Qingshu at the side and tried hard to cover her eyes with her hands.
She had an urge to laugh, and at that moment she thought that her father was too cute.
After hearing Yu Qingqing's words, Yu Qingshu slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw Yu Qingqing covering her mouth beside him, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Qing'er, please don't laugh at me. I know you have gone through a lot of struggles to achieve this.
Dad hopes that his daughter will not make things too hard for herself, do you understand?" Yu Qingshu did not think that Yu Qingqing deserved it.
Instead, he felt that his daughter was truly selfless and was always considering and caring about the family.
Yu Qingqing tidied her hair and looked at her messy hair. She was very moved when she heard Yu Qingshu's words.
The family I met loved me, cared about me, and thought about me in every way. They didn't think that my efforts were justified, which was very good.
"Dad, don't worry! I am willing to do this, and there is not much pressure. You don't have to worry too much.
Let’s go there first. I see that my mother and the others have already found a place to rest. After they have rested, we should hurry up and continue on our journey.”
After Yu Qingqing tidied her clothes, she walked along the path that Yu Qinghai and the others had taken, preparing to rest there first.
When Yu Qingshu saw Yu Qingqing walking over there, he also got up from the ground.
After a little relief from the numbness in his legs and feet, he continued walking behind Yu Qingqing.
"Qing'er, be careful with your steps, don't fall down." Yu Qingshu was still concerned. He asked Yu Qingqing, after all, this was in the wilderness.
It could be anything. Stones are the most common. If she accidentally falls on it, she will be the one who suffers.
The woods where Yu Qingqing and the others were staying were overgrown with weeds and quite a few trees.
The forest seemed to have no end at first glance, and Yu Qingqing had no idea how big it was.
Fortunately, the dead grass in the woods is only about as high as the calf, so there is no need to worry too much.
Yu Qingqing walked in front, trying to push aside the dead hay to make a path so that it would be easier to pass.
These were not difficult things for her because she had never worn them before.
She often goes hiking with her friends, so these wild things are not unfamiliar to her.
However, her body is rather fragile now, so she should be careful and she will never try to be stubborn.
"Dad, don't worry! Watch your step and don't fall. I saw several stones just now.
You don't have to worry about me, I have sharp eyes." Yu Qingqing turned around and saw that Yu Qingshu was not far away from her, and she felt relieved.
Yu Qingshu was also trying very hard to look at the ground. He was afraid that he would fall, but he would be a drag on his family, which was not the result he wanted.
"Don't worry! I will pay attention. I saw your mother waving at us."
Yu Qingshu had a huge smile on his face. Seeing that his wife was paying attention to him, his heart was filled with joy.
Yu Qingqing covered her eyes and said, "It's already this late and she, a single dog, is still being fed dog food."
After a while, Yu Qingshu and Yu Qingqing arrived at the resting place on Huaqing Road. They also found a place at random and sat down to rest.
2:15 pm, outside the city wall of Hukou Town.
At this time, Chen Yi and his companions, under the banner of the escort agency, had already arrived outside Hukou Town. They planned to go directly through the middle of Hukou Town, which would save a lot of time.
But now outside the city wall of Hukou Town, there are many soldiers guarding the gate, and I don’t know what has happened in the town recently.
The town was suddenly under martial law, and there were suddenly many more soldiers guarding the entrance.
Basically everyone entering the town needs to have a pass checked before being allowed in.
Chen Yi looked around from the carriage and saw that the line was still quite long, so it would probably take some time before it was their turn.
"Chen Yi, send someone to find out what happened first, and we'll just rest here."
Yuan Yi had a rough idea of the situation when he opened the curtain.
"Alright then! I'll take a few people to check out the situation first, you stay here and take good care of the master and pay attention to the surrounding situation.
If there is anything, just contact me immediately." Chen Yi turned over beautifully and got off the carriage.
Soon he picked out a few people and went directly to the nearby area to find a few people to ask about the details.
Chen Yi and his friends split up and prepared to ask at the town gate while another went to ask nearby.
Soon Chen Yi came to an old man who was also queuing.
"Hello, uncle! I am also going to the town, and I see so many people queuing here.
It seems that entry and exit are very strict, what happened?"
Chen Yi was quite tall, and he was afraid of scaring the old man, so he asked in a relatively gentle tone.
The old man slowly opened his half-closed eyes, and it seemed as if he heard someone talking next to his ear.
"Young man! Are you asking me? What are you doing here?" The old man responded to Chen Yi tremblingly.
Due to his old age, his hearing is not very good and he cannot speak too fast. After he finished a few sentences, he began to breathe heavily.
"Yes, sir! I said I was going into town. What happened?
Why are there so many people here, and why are they checking so carefully? The sun is shining brightly now, and it's easy to get heat stroke if you keep standing here."
Although Chen Yi also heard the old man, he answered calmly.
But he was still quite patient and stated his purpose again.
The old man stroked his beard and looked at Chen Yi carefully again.
Chen Yi's face looked very unfamiliar, and even his accent seemed different.
"Hey, young man! I'm an old man. My ears are not very sharp anymore. You said you wanted to go into town, right?
From your accent, I can tell you’re not from here! Are you passing through here?”
The old man answered calmly, and finally understood what Chen Yi said.
Chen Yi observed carefully, and then looked at his grandfather. He never expected that he had disguised himself on purpose.
But it was so easy that the old man found out that I was not a local. It seems that we cannot underestimate the people here. This matter must be very complicated.
