The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 213

[Chapter 213: Piles of Refugees]

After they quickly filled their stomachs, they set off.

“Where did the shopkeeper go?”

Song Zijie said with some resentment. If it weren’t for the shopkeeper’s brilliant smile last night, he would not have let down his guard.

Otherwise, he would not have been so easily tricked!

But he didn’t expect the shopkeeper to be so cunning. He immediately packed up and left when he found something wrong.

“If nothing unexpected happens, he should also go to Ningjiang City!”

Lin Tian closed his eyes and sniffed the air carefully.

When the shopkeeper approached them yesterday, he had already secretly put some tracking powder on his clothes.

These tracking powders were purified and refined by him using some special pollen. Not to mention sticking to clothes, even if you accidentally touch some, it will remain for a long time.

What’s more, Lin Tian couldn’t smear it on his hair when the shopkeeper was not paying attention yesterday.

So even if he changed his clothes, Lin Tian would definitely notice his trace.

“As expected, my young master is really resourceful!”

Lin Kang clapped his hands and praised Lin Tian as soon as he heard what he said, looking at Lin Tian with eyes full of admiration.

Since Lin Tian woke up from falling into the lake, his temperament has changed drastically. Although he is still as arrogant as before, he is more organized in doing things.

“Stop flattering me, I find that you are becoming more and more slick!”

Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, if he was not still in the carriage, he might have kicked him.

Lin Kang’s butt must have been in trouble.

“Young Master, I am speaking from the heart!”

Lin Kang said sincerely.

He only regarded protecting Lin Tian as his mission before, but slowly he changed his mind.

If he was forced to protect Lin Tian before, now he really wants to stay with Lin Tian and protect him!

In his heart, he has truly regarded Lin Tian as his master, his own young master!

“Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up! This is not close to Ningjiang City. If we don’t hurry up, we won’t get there before dark.”

Lin Tian urged unhappily.

Lin Kang then restrained his smile and went out to drive the car.

What he said was all true, but he said it in a joking tone.

After the last poppy poisoning, he has matured a lot and acted more steadily.

But since he had said it, he gradually let go of his mind and hurried on.

If there is no accident on the road, I think we can reach Ningjiang City this afternoon.

They hurried all the way, but found that there were more and more refugees on the road, even to the point of refugee disaster.

“What happened? Why are there so many refugees?”

Xu Wenxuan frowned tightly, and his brows never relaxed all the way.

The refugees on the roadside gathered in a group, some with children. Those children were pale and thin, and became haggard under the torture of the scorching sun.

“I’m afraid something big has happened that we can’t predict, maybe… drought!”

Lin Tian’s face was also very ugly. If it was something else, he might be able to think of a way to solve it.

But this drought is a natural phenomenon, and he has no way at all!

Even in modern times, when encountering drought, it can only be alleviated by artificial rainfall.

“Forget it, let’s see first, this can’t be solved in a short time.”

Xu Wenxuan sighed, looking at the refugees who kept wailing, people kept dying on the road, and those people’s dry eyes had no tears.

But they haven’t confirmed whether this is a drought yet, and they can’t jump to conclusions. The most urgent thing is to find Dr. Ning first. After

finding Dr. Ning, they also have to find out what’s going on.

It wasn’t until the evening, when the sun was about to set, that they saw the city gate not far away.

The city gate in the past should have been wide open, but now it was tightly closed because there were many refugees around it!

Some of them still had some strength, so they used their fists, sticks, stones and the like to hit the heavy city gate vigorously.

But the city gate was thick and heavy, weighing thousands of pounds. What they did was like hitting a rock with an egg. The people guarding the city gate had no idea what was happening here.

Moreover, there were teams of well-trained soldiers outside the gate to prevent them from causing unrest.

“Is anyone there? We are from the capital. We want to enter the city. Please open the city gate!” When

the car arrived at the city gate, the refugees looked at them, just staring at them, not daring to move.

Maybe they were scared of being beaten, and there was hope and fear in their eyes.

The look in their eyes was too complicated, and Lin Tian couldn’t understand it for a moment.

“Who are you? What are you doing in Ningjiang City?”

The official guarding the city gate heard the voice, leaned down and asked loudly.

Lin Tian frowned. How come they couldn’t even get through a city gate?

Just when Lin Kang wanted to answer that they were here to find Dr. Ning, Xu Wenxuan suddenly grabbed him.

He took out a token from his arms and threw it at the guard on the city gate.

Lin Tian glanced at him, and Xu Wenxuan gave him a look, as if to say: You little bastard, you still have to look at me.

The guard didn’t know what was going on. When he received the token, he was immediately shocked. He quickly asked someone to open the city gate and personally came down to greet them.

“Open the door quickly and let Mr. Xu and others in!”

The guard said, calling for people to open the city gate quickly.

After receiving the leader’s order, those people naturally did it obediently. Lin Tian and the others only needed to stand there and wait.

Those well-trained teams began to stand by the city gate in an orderly manner, and all the knives in their hands were drawn out, and the white blades flashed with cold light.

The refugees wanted to take this opportunity to break in together, but when they saw the knives in the hands of the guards, they shrank their necks and hid behind them.

But they didn’t forget that several people tried to force their way in, but were beheaded by those terrifying guards!

These people were like devils!

Lin Tian and his team entered Ningjiang City under the gaze of such a group of people.

“Why don’t you let those people in?”

Lin Tian pointed at the refugees who were stopped. Ningjiang City is also a famous land of fish and rice. It shouldn’t be difficult to take in these refugees, right?

“This…”

The guard who greeted them hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to address Lin Tian.

“My last name is Lin.”

Lin Tian said.

“Master Lin, it’s like this. These refugees are all sick. We have sent people to give them porridge and food. For the sake of the people in the city, we really can’t let them in!”

The guard said with a sad face. When Lin Tian and his team came in, he immediately had the city gate closed.
