It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 136

It takes about an hour and a half to travel from the farm to the nearest city gate of Heding Prefecture. Due to the location of the farm, the second half of Jiang Yan and his group's journey had to overlap with the conflict area last night.

This would be a huge drain on the group, who need to be constantly on guard against attacks from rioters, especially since there is an elderly person with mobility issues in the team.

Before Jiang Yan could worry about how to let old man Jiang Qi get a ride with Miss Fu, she saw Aunt Gao Ni quickly drag out a bundle of wooden sticks from a corner of the house, took out one and handed it to old man Jiang Qi as a crutch.

Then Sun Yun and Jiang Da each took one.

They knew that Jiang Qi had always wanted to make himself a decent walking stick after arriving at the farm, so they specially asked the woodcutter who delivered firewood to bring him some strong wood, and they carefully picked and chose a few of them.

Although it is not even a semi-finished product now, it is strong and not easy to break. It is very suitable for elderly people like them to use on the road, and even more suitable for -

"Yanyan, this stick is good. It's long enough and it's not easy for people to get close to you. You can use it to hit people." Sun Yunnai took good care of Jiang Yan.

There was still one left... Seeing that Fu Nulang had no intention of asking for it, Gao Ni stuffed it directly into Yile's hand.

She remembered that when they rushed to the farm from Dongshan Village, the young girl had beaten someone with great force.

Fu Weixin was sitting on a mule cart, and seeing the people of Dongshan Village carrying things one after another, with relatives and strangers clearly distinguished, he couldn't help but curl his lips in silence.

But no matter what, Fu Weixin had also been a beneficiary of Jiang Yan's various tools, so he could only pretend to turn a blind eye and then ordered the troops to set off.

Zhou Li's judgment was correct. As they gradually approached the city gate, they could see vague figures hiding everywhere in the woods along the way, as well as soldiers who were constantly chasing and trying to drive the victims back to the camp.

The team of two mule carts and more than ten people was too conspicuous. Jiang Yan and others used wooden sticks to drive away the victims who tried to approach, but were then intercepted by soldiers.

"The city gates are blocked and no one can enter. Go back to where you came from!" The leading soldier thought that they were just an ordinary small family and were planning to flee to the provincial capital for safety for fear of chaos, so he spoke in a bad tone.

The blockade and defense of the provincial capital were arranged solely by General Lu, and Inspector Chang had no say.

After Baoqin told the soldiers about Fu's identity, they were a little suspicious and asked someone to verify it. They informed their superior and only let her go after getting permission.

When Fu Nu's mule cart drove past the densely packed disaster victims and passed through the city gate unimpeded amid their envy, it inevitably caused dissatisfaction.

"Isn't it said that people are allowed to leave the city but not enter, sir? Why are they allowed to do so?" someone in the crowd shouted indignantly, followed by a chorus of people murmuring in agreement.

Seeing the victims beginning to crowd forward, intending to push down the fence and run towards the city gate, the soldiers all pointed the tips of their spears at the rioting crowd.

A leader whose identity and rank were unknown slammed the gong heavily and shouted sternly:

"What are you making such a fuss about! The status of the governor's relatives is far superior to that of a bunch of filthy people like you. Why don't you just stay where you are and not get yourself killed?"

After saying that, he repeated the shout several times until the commotion died down. He then breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion, secretly thanking his lucky stars that the situation had stabilized, otherwise the soldiers guarding it would have been the first to enter the underworld.

Then some people began to complain about the people in the governor's office. They sent the women to the suburbs to have fun for no reason, but hurried back when something happened. They also disobeyed the orders of Governor Lu in front of so many people, making things difficult for their subordinates.
