Even in the heavy snow, there were still sporadic pedestrians on the street. Yang Xi and her group were very conspicuous. They did not go to the inn in the inner city but with the clear purpose of looking for an inn near the city gate. This kind of inn was cheap and suitable for common people to stay.

Because they thought it was unlucky to carry the coffin, they looked for several inns but none of them were willing to keep them, so they pretended that they had no choice but to go to a thatched hut near the city wall.

These huts have been there for several years and have been used to house refugees. Although there were refugee huts outside the city, these were empty. This year, the court had resettled the refugees far away from the city.

Taking his elder brother’s hint, Zhou started to make a scene, “I don’t want to live in this shabby place. This is not a place for human beings to live.”

Zhou Yu frowned, “Can’t you be more sensible?”

Not only did Zhou Xiaodi refuse to go in, but he also held his sister back and said, “I would rather die than live here.”

Yang Xi and Zhou Yu had no intention of going into the straw hut. Not only was it unattended and dirty, but they were also afraid that there might be germs inside.

Zhou Yu pretended to be angry, his hands were shaking, and he slapped Zhou Xiaodi hard, scolding him in a deep voice, “You should be sensible.”

Little brother Zhou was a little confused. He was really hit. He was so angry that he couldn’t help but have red eyes and wanted to cry out of grievance!

The two brothers froze, both standing in the snow.

Ye Shi was originally very anxious, but she felt relieved after receiving a hint from her daughter-in-law. She pretended to cough and tried to stop the fight.

Yang Xi, “.”

Mother-in-law Ye Shi was an excellent actress!

As time went by, the snow got heavier and heavier. The people who were following them could not bear it anymore. They thought that the old, weak, and sick people in the Zhou family would not leave the capital immediately. They confirmed where the Zhou family was staying and found a place to drink to ward off the cold. They would take action against Zhou Yu at night. The adults said that Zhou Yu could not be allowed to leave alive.

Zhou Yu confirmed that the person had really left, “Let’s get out of the city quickly.”

If they couldn’t leave the city today, their family would have no chance of leaving alive.

This place was very close to the city gate. Zhou Yu registered the household registration of his whole family and it was easy for him to leave the city. The soldiers guarding the city were too lazy to come out during the heavy snow and were hiding from the snow in the straw huts.

The moment Yang Xi walked out of the city gate, the shackles on her body seemed to be untied, and her steps became much lighter.

Their purpose was clear: they headed straight for the refugee resettlement site. The heavy snow helped them cover their tracks, and it was already dark when they almost reached the refugee resettlement site.

Except for Ye Shi and the young Ziheng, everyone in the family was exhausted.

The howling cold wind and flying snow were like knives, hitting people’s faces and it was very painful. The family, who were already tired and hungry, looked even more miserable.

There was a sound of footsteps on the snow ahead. The whole family looked tense, especially Yang Xi. In ancient times, the environment was good but there were many wild beasts, such as wolves!

Fortunately, someone shouted in front, “Is it Zhou Gōngzi?”

Zhou Yu’s tense muscles did not relax. “Yes, is this person Brother Wu?”

The sound of footsteps on the snow was getting closer and closer. Only when they got closer could they get a rough idea of ​​what was going on. There were four men in total.

Wu Shan said, “I thought I had waited in vain today, so I was just planning to go back and wait again tomorrow.”

Yang Xi didn’t say anything. This was the problem of the ancient times. She was a woman in seclusion and could not make as many arrangements as Zhou Yu. She didn’t even know who Wu Shan was.

Zhou Yu asked cautiously, “Who are these three?”

Wu Shan replied, “My family has some disappointing kids.”

Zhou Yu was still worried. Even though he had saved Wu Shan, he didn’t dare to let down his guard. Human nature could not stand the test.

He had better arrangements and would not have thought of Wu Shan, saying, “Great favors require no thanks; there will be rewards in the future.”

Wu Shan, “Don’t ever say you are doing me a great favor. You saved my life, which means you saved my whole family.”

He also had his thoughts. He should repay the life-saving grace. However, Zhou GōngziYoung Master was a shūrénlearned person, scholar, and he would benefit greatly from his advice.

When they arrived at the shed built by the Wu family and gave the Zhou family a separate room, Yang Xi asked, “When did you save people?”
