Five miles away from Gaojia Village, there is a tea shed facing the street.
The mighty team staggered out of Gaojia Village under the rising sun, and rested beside the tea shed that the villagers said.
The tea shop was run by a middle-aged couple. The couple had been on the roadside for many years and were used to seeing people traveling from north to south. Min Zhong sent the exile team away in advance before they arrived. He killed his own men and went to the front to take care of them in advance.
When the officers escorted the team over, the three four-corner wooden tables were already short of warm tea and water.
Xiong Jiushan is not in the team at the moment. The second-in-command responsible for escorting the prisoners is a subordinate brought by Xiong Jiushan from the capital. His name is Cheng Ye. He has followed Xiong Jiushan for many years and is the most trusted by him.
Cheng Ye is the junior member of the Cheng family, and the people below him often call him Cheng Ye.
The boss is gone, Master Cheng is in charge.
The officers, soldiers and government servants all listened to him. The team was not moving very fast today and rushed to the tea shed. Xiong Jiushan did not see anyone coming back. The people below came to ask Cheng Ye what he meant.
"Chief Cheng, shall we wait here for Master Xiong to come back later, or shall we continue walking forward?"
Cheng Ye sat at the table drinking tea and resting, looking around to explain the situation. They were settling the prisoners. They looked back for a while, put down the empty bowls, and said: "The journey has been delayed a lot. I will leave one person here later, while the others continue on their way. Get to the inn ahead as soon as possible to make plans." .”
"Okay! Then go and say hello, my subordinate."
Cheng Ye nodded, and the empty bowl at hand had already been refilled by his subordinate.
After quenching his thirst, he had time to look at the tea shed.
The tea shed is simple and simple, and there are only a few tables that can seat only a few people. They are all people with a little respect in the job.
The owner of the tea stall, who was in his forties, went in and out to refill water for the adults passing by. Someone from the Min family reminded him. The couple saw so many people coming at once, so they didn’t Fear.
There were many prisoners, but the couple just sold some water and made a lot of money. Their faces were beaming with joy. They looked at the prisoners resting everywhere and they were not nervous. They just gave them water if they shouted. .
Everyone can only take a rest here, and don’t pick a place, just sit anywhere and take a breather.
Because they had a relatively good rest the night before, the faces of the prisoners looked good today. They were not like sighing after taking a few steps in the past few days. After a long period of hard work, they will gradually get used to everything. .
The women of the Xie family were back to back, supporting each other and briefly squinting for a while. They were in good spirits before they could continue walking.
Xie Wuying, Xie Wenjie and other Xie family men were half resting and half sleepless. Those who couldn't sleep, Xie Wenjie checked everyone's wounds and changed dressings in time.
This is the responsibility that Xie Yuchuan entrusted to him before he left. The Xie family now has a lot more supplies available than other families in the team. If there are any problems, they should be solved in a timely manner so as not to turn them into big problems.
Xie Wenjie was very careful in his work. Xie Yuchuan left the matter to him and reminded him that if he was unsure, he should ask Mr. Zhang Dayi.
Xie Wenjie kept this in mind and tried his best to solve everyone's minor problems when he got the chance.
Zhang Dayi and his mother followed the Xie family. Seeing that Xie Yuchuan was not there and that the two young men, Xie Wuying and Xie Wenjie, were doing well, they couldn't help but nod their heads.
The Xie family has a good way of educating their children. No matter how close or distant the concubines are, they will always produce good sons.
Everyone was resting where they were, but Xie Wuying couldn't sit still and stood there looking towards Gaojiacun.
After walking so far, what can he see?
But he still read it over and over again uneasily.
"Wu Ying, stop looking, sit down and have a rest." Mrs. Zhou saw him pacing in place and called him.
Xie Wuying turned around and responded: "Okay, uncle!"
He returned to the crowd and sat next to Xie Wenjie and Zhang Hanlin, looking worried.
"Is something going to happen to Brother Six? It's been so long and I still haven't caught up."
Xie Wenjie was lowering his head to change the dressing on a guard's shoulder when he heard him muttering to the side and went to the tea shed in front. Chu pointed and said, "Look over there, their leader, Mr. Xiong, has not come back, and they are not in a hurry. You don't have to worry. Who is Brother Six? Ji people have their own destiny." "That's it. "I didn't see anyone coming back, so I was still a little worried.
Zhang Dayi was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed to relax. Xie Wuying wanted to chat with him, but she was too embarrassed to disturb Mr. Zhang when he was resting, so he could only swallow what he said. Went back.
The guard's wound was dressed and bandaged, and he felt much better.
“Thank you, Master Wenjie.”
“You don’t need to thank me, it was all given by the family gods. You just have to thank the gods in your heart.”
The guard is shy. He smiled, nodded seriously, stood up and moved aside to silently thank the gods of his family.
Others were resting, Xie Wenjie was busy, and Xie Yuchuan was not there. A lot of weight seemed to have suddenly increased on his shoulders.
While he was lowering his head to write something down in the booklet, guard Zhou Chuan suddenly came over and said, "Master Wenjie, Prince Chai came here to give a bag of tea."
Xie Wenjie looked up and was stunned.
"Tea?"
Zhou Chuan handed him the palm-sized tea bag, "Yes, tea. He said Mrs. Chai asked him to bring it."
Xie Wenjie was a little surprised. He took the paper bag and opened a corner, lowered his head and sniffed twice. It was indeed tea.
"The Chai family is so capable, how come they still have tea at home?!"
Although he lowered his voice, Xie Wuying and Zhang Dayi next to him still heard it, Xie Wuying turned around and looked over, "Why did Chai Jin send this?"
Zhang Dayi opened his eyes and looked over.
Seeing that he was awake, Xie Wenjie remembered what Xie Yuchuan had said before leaving, and asked for advice: "Mr. Zhang, please help me find out, what does the Chai family mean by suddenly sending such a valuable thing?"
Xie Wenjie wants to ask, can they accept this?
Zhang Dayi knew about the Xie family's gift of medicine to Mrs. Chai. He looked at the "valuable" bag of tea in Xie Wenjie's hand, thought for a moment, and nodded, "This should be a thank-you gift from the Chai family. Is it possible to accept it?" Accept it." He hesitated before speaking, paused for a moment, then nodded and confirmed: "It doesn't matter if you accept it. Maybe the Chai family has something to ask for later, so I'll make friends with you in advance."
He said this. , Xie Wenjie even dared not accept it.
Zhang Dayi saw that his face was worried, so he smiled and explained a few more words: "I guess the medicine the Xie family gave to the Chai family has taken effect."
When he said this, Xie Wenjie suddenly Now I understand what Mr. Zhang meant when he said, "I'll ask you for help later."
He looked down at the tea bag and muttered: "There are some things that I dare not make the decision if Brother Six is not around."
Zhang Dayi smiled and said: "If you don't dare, you can ask the old lady I mean."
"Thank you for your advice, sir," Xie Wenjie said gratefully.
"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
When Chai Jin was resting in the exile team, he came over specially to give gifts to the Xie family. The thank you gift was handed over to the Xie family.
Dongbohou Chaiji saw his son coming back and asked hurriedly: "How is it?"
"Give it to the Xie family to protect you."
Chai Ji frowned, "Didn't you ask more questions about the Xie family?"
