Chapter 13 Strict

Chapter 13 Strict
This time, the black cat was much more cautious. It was not enough for Pan Yun to agree to it. It also wanted a contract.

Both Black Cat and Pan Yun know the spell of forming a bond.

Communicate with heaven and earth, use one's own spiritual power and soul as the medium, write down the contract, and those who violate the contract will be punished by heaven.

It's like raising your hand and swearing, saying what will happen if you break the oath, except that the latter may not come true, but the former definitely will.

Man and cat formed a contract. From that moment on, as long as Pan Yun practiced, the Three Jade Spirit Realm remaining in her Niwan Palace would automatically grab the spiritual energy it deserved.

Pan Xiaohei finally relaxed, spread out his hands and feet, turned half over, exposing his belly, let out a long "meow", and sighed continuously.

Life is hard for the soul~~ Could this be a test from God for it?
Pan Yun found some more firewood nearby, moved the burning fire to one side, swept the ashes aside, then moved the branches and leaves lying next to it to the burnt ground. He took out his quilt from the spiritual space, lay on the warm branches and leaves, and sighed comfortably.

From the day she left the Pan family until today, she finally slept peacefully.

"You keep watch."

Pan Xiaohei didn't refuse, as he was not sleepy anyway. He half-buried his body in the quilt, put his head against Pan Jun's, and stared up at the starry sky in a daze.

Because of the contract, Pan Yun was sure that the realm spirit would not dare and could not return to its body at this time, and he also trusted it to guard the night.

As a knowledgeable spirit, it is necessary to have this ability.

So she let herself fall asleep, and it was not until the next day when the sun shone and the chirping of birds rang in her ears that she opened her eyes and woke up.

Pan Jun sat up and was stunned for a while before she folded up the quilt and stuffed it into the spiritual space. She asked, "Can your body in the world where the soul can live forever go in? If it is a world of its own, is there food and drink? Or is everything virtual like data?"

Pan Xiaohei couldn't answer. If it knew, would it still be talking nonsense with Pan Jun?
Couldn't it have unsealed it and traveled the world freely long ago?

Looking at its dull face, Pan Jun knew that it didn't know.

As expected, everything was false, only saving her father and her brothers was real.

Pan Yun touched his empty stomach, put out the sparks with dirt, clapped his hands, stood up and said, "Let's go, we're going to Datong."

Pan Xiaohei opened his arms, Pan Jun picked it up and held it in his arms, then headed north.

She had made some progress, but was still far from fasting, so she was very hungry after walking for a whole morning.

Because of her weak body and lack of food intake, her face immediately turned pale and her lips turned a little pale, which was obviously a symptom of insufficient Qi and blood.

From afar, she saw the city gate not far away, her eyes lit up, and she quickened her pace while holding Pan Xiaohei.

There is a tea stall not far from the city gate. It is supported by several trees and made of thatched grass. In addition to selling tea, it also sells sesame cakes, noodles, and steamed buns.

Pan Yun obviously couldn't wait to get into the city to eat, so he quickly carried Pan Xiaohei over, found a table nearby and sat down, "Shopkeeper, give me two buns and a bowl of noodles."

"Okay," the shopkeeper responded cheerfully, quickly picked up two buns and put them on a plate and was about to bring it over, but when he looked up, he found that the person ordering the meal was a child. His face was dirty, his hair was a little messy, and his clothes looked like they had rolled in the grass. The bag on his back looked light and fluttery, and it was obvious that he could not afford to pay, so he paused slightly.

But after a pause, he still smiled and brought the buns over, "Young guest, enjoy your meal. I'll make you some noodles right away. We have vegetarian noodles, egg noodles, and meat noodles."

Pan Yun didn't want to put herself in a difficult position, but she thought that it was still a long way to Datong, and she didn't have much money. If she wanted to speed up, she would have to take a taxi or rent a car, and she would have to eat and sleep along the way. So she suppressed her greed and said, "Give me a bowl of vegetarian noodles."

The shopkeeper agreed and went to give her a blowjob.

Pan Jun felt around in his bag and actually took out a bowl from the spiritual realm that he used to take medicine and tea in his room. He broke the bun in half, ate half himself, and put the other half into the bowl for Pan Xiaohei.

The shopkeeper saw her feeding the cat with her own bowl, and then she closed her open mouth and continued silently.

Pan Xiaohei squatted on the table and ate the bun carefully, holding it with his hands, without any mess or waste.

Pan Yun ate and said to it: "Look, I said I am very kind, but what I hate most is hiding things. If you treat me with sincerity, I will be sincere in return. As long as I have buns to eat, I will share half with you, and half with you. "

"Meow--"

Pan Jun touched its head with satisfaction.

The shop owner brought the cooked noodles. Seeing the big bowl full of noodles, Pan Jun glanced at the other tables and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The shop owner was quite nice and cooked extra noodles for her.

Pan Jun did what he said and gave Pan Xiaohei a lot of face.

The man and the cat ate carefully, and Pan Yun drank up every last mouthful of noodle soup.

The five grains nourished the body, and Pan Yun's face gradually became rosy. His stomach and heart felt comfortable, and he became happy all over.

She glanced at the price list hanging on the wooden board next to her and took out a copper coin to pay. "Shopkeeper, check out!"

Standing at the city gate, Pan Yun sighed, "As expected, the most unforgettable thing is the food."

She walked towards the city gate happily and glanced casually at the two words on the gate: She County.

There were two lines of people queuing at the city gate. She randomly chose one of them and stood there, curiously looking forward. She saw that everyone entering the city would take out a piece of paper and hand it to the gatekeeper before entering. Those with more luggage would have their luggage checked.

Pan Jun was silent for a moment, then turned around and asked the person behind him, "Do we need a pass to enter the county town?"

The person behind her was confused, and subconsciously looked past Pan Yun at the person in front of her. Seeing that the person did not turn around, he was unsure whether she was asking on behalf of the adults, so he said, "We in She County have been asking for it for some time. Did your elder forget to bring it? Or are you not from our She County?"

Pan Jun did not answer his question, and continued to ask depressedly: "If people outside the city want to come into the city to buy something, sell some vegetables or something, do they also need a pass?"

"Just bring your household registration page. People in this county don't need a pass. You need one when you leave the county." The young man asked curiously, "Don't you need a pass to enter or leave the city?"

Pan Yun carefully recalled the scenes of entering and leaving the city. Of course, they did not need to leave the city, and they were not carrying bulk goods. Only two cities were checked when entering the city, but since the three of them were traveling together, the soldiers guarding the city only took a look at Tao Ji's pass, and neither she nor Xuanmiao checked it.

The whole journey was so relaxed that she thought she could get in and out smoothly, but when she looked ahead, she saw that there were people bringing their children into the city, and the older people and elders had also brought their household registration with them.

Where can she get her household registration and travel permit?

No, there are some, those two human traffickers, but...the description doesn’t match.

As if seeing that she was too distressed, the young man kindly explained, "Recently, human traffickers are rampant, and people often collect raw folded ears of croaker. Therefore, our county has been very strict in checking. Not only do you need a pass to enter the city, you also need a pass to leave the city.

Even those who go out of town to work as farmers must carry their household registration pages with them.”

Well, this county magistrate is a strict one.

Pan Jun observed for a long time, and after confirming that he could not get in, he decisively turned around and left the team.

The young man standing behind him watched her leave with his mouth wide open. When she walked a long way away, he patted the shoulder of the man in front of him and said, "Brother, isn't that your child?"

The person in front turned around and took a look and said, "What child? I don't have any children."

Pan Yun had already walked away and returned to the teahouse.

She was thinking about the possibility of taking a shortcut and heading north, bypassing Shexian County.

She sighed and thought she would have to sleep outdoors again tonight.

Pan Yun calculated his and Pan Xiaohei's appetites and said to the store owner, "Make me ten big buns."

The shopkeeper already knew that she was not unable to afford the food but was just sloppy, so he happily responded and took out two paper bags and put ten large buns in them for her, five in each bag.

Pan Yun took the bag, paid the money and asked, "Shopkeeper, going from the outskirts of the city to the northern suburbs, is it faster to go east or west?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and then said, "It's fastest to go into the city."

Nonsense, how could she not know that?
Pan Yun said, "I'm not going into the city. I'm here to live with my aunt. My mother is gone, and my father remarried. My stepmother doesn't tolerate me, but I don't remember where my aunt lives. I only heard her mention that it's halfway from the city gate to the northern suburbs, near the north city gate."

Shopkeeper: ...Who is so kind to show you the way?

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Little girl, is your aunt reliable? Why don't you go to the city and find the county government office and ask the county government officials to take you to find someone. There are a lot of human traffickers outside now, so don't go there."

Pan Jun asked: "Are there many human traffickers here?"

"A lot. Several children were lost in Anyang. I heard that two were lost in Shexian last month. Their parents were crying their eyes out." The shopkeeper saw that although her face was dirty, her face was white and tender, and her hands were also white and tender. It was obvious that she was the favorite in the family.

So he advised: "Your father must love you, but maybe he just doesn't like to say it. In my opinion, you should go home. If the adults can't find you later, they will be very worried."

"I know," Pan Yun said, "I just want to scare them. I will stay at my aunt's house for a few days and then go back when my father comes to find me."

Pan Yun insisted on asking how to get to the northern suburbs, and the shopkeeper could only give her directions, "Here, follow that road to the west, it's a long way, then go north, there is a river, it's the moat, follow the river, and when you see the city gate, that's the north gate.

But the village is far from the moat, I guess you remembered the wrong address."

Pan Jun insisted, "I'm not mistaken, thank you very much."

She walked away holding the paper bag containing the buns.

As soon as we reached the side of the path, we encountered a group of people being driven out of the city by officials.

She couldn't help but stop and watch.

A group of ragged people were pushed out by the officers. The leading officer pinched his waist and yelled, "If you dare to sneak into the city again, we will take you to the mines to dig!"

Pan Yun stood in the crowd and listened to their discussions. "I heard that there is an imperial censor from the capital coming to inspect, so no beggars are allowed in the county."

"Alas, how can these people survive if they are driven out? There are still so many children in there."

"Go from village to village, if you meet a kind person, give him a bowl of rice, and you can survive by cooking it up."
