The sky gradually darkened, and Yuan Lin was already very tired. A gust of sea breeze blew, bringing a little more vitality to Yuan Lin's tired spirit. In the distance, there was a port with bright lights.
Are we there yet
Suddenly, the body in his arms moved. Yuan Lin's numb arms were no longer able to support the small body, and it rolled onto the yellow sand.
"Hmm..." Fang Xiaoxiao cried out in pain, opened her eyes, and looked around curiously, "Ah... who are you... where is this..."
"It's me, Yuanlin. Xiaoxiao, don't worry. We are playing hide-and-seek." Yuanlin forced a smile.
The familiar voice calmed Fang Xiaoxiao down, "Brother Yuanlin, where are we going? Where are my parents? Where are my uncle and aunt? Where are the guards? You lied to me..."
Yuan Lin took a few deep breaths to recover his tired body, and pointed to the brightly lit harbor ahead: "When we get to the front, we will see our parents."
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at it in confusion, but couldn't figure out the situation, so she could only follow Yuan Lin and continue walking forward. It didn't take long for them to reach the port. But they found that there were already many refugees gathered at the port.
There is a low wall in front of the port, and the soldiers of the Shang Kingdom completely cut off this place. Inside and outside the wall are completely two different worlds.
Perhaps Yuan Lin arrived at the right time. Seeing the soldiers of the Shang Kingdom carrying out buckets of rice, the surrounding refugees rushed forward.
Fang Xiaoxiao already felt that something was wrong, but she could only follow Yuan Lin.
Yuan Lin looked around and suddenly wiped off the disguise on his and Fang Xiaoxiao's faces. He strode forward, passing the refugees who were either numb or begging, and came directly to a door. Seeing a soldier standing guard in front of the door, he said loudly: "Brother, I want to study in the Kingdom of Shang. Can I take a boat?"
Because Bian State was too chaotic, there was no air route. If Yuan Lin wanted to go to the Shang Kingdom, the best way was to take a boat.
The soldier on guard looked at Yuan Lin and Fang Xiaoxiao and found that they were just two skinny teenagers. After hesitating for a while, he slightly stepped aside to make way. At the same time, he gave a slight reminder: "You go to Dock No. 3. There is a merchant ship of the Brilliant Star Group there. It will set sail soon, and it will go directly to Anyang City."
Yuan Lin thanked him immediately and ran forward while pulling Fang Xiaoxiao.
This was the first time Yuan Lin saw a steel ship. He stood at the dock and looked at the ship in front of him in a daze. Finally, someone on the ship called out, "Little brother, do you want to take a boat?"
Yuan Lin touched the only piece of jade in his pocket and said bitterly, "Big brother, I want to go to Anyang City to study. How much is the boat fare?"
"Haha, I don't want your money. Come up."
"Thank you." Yuan Lin then pulled the restless and confused Fang Xiaoxiao onto the boat. After getting on the boat, she stood in the corner a little stiffly, feeling a little lonely.
"Come and sit down, little brother. It's fate that we meet, so don't be polite."
Yuan Lin pulled Fang Xiaoxiao and sat down somewhat stiffly, but only sat on half of the chair. He asked anxiously, "This... that..."
After thinking about this and that for a while, I still didn't know how to start.
"Let me introduce myself." The young man began. "My name is Zhang Han, Han means vast. There are two reasons why we are willing to accept you. First, you are not yet adults. Second, you have your own goals. You are not like most people who simply want to escape the disaster and seek refuge in the Shang Kingdom. The Shang Kingdom's capabilities are limited after all, and we cannot accept all refugees unconditionally. But for those who are ambitious and have aspirations, we are willing to help. But little brother, I'm afraid it's not easy for you to study in the Shang Kingdom. You must be prepared to endure hardships."
