Chapter 147 Isn’t the family god coming today?
After walking for a whole day, no one is not tired.
Tieniu also feels tired. Today’s walk is much more tiring than the previous few days, especially when leaving the post station early in the morning. Because there are many government personnel coming and going on that section of the road, the prisoners are not shackles on the road. Responsible The official servants had to be punished, so Tieniu also felt hard during the morning departure time.
Later, when he reached a deserted place, the adults wanted to move faster. After removing the twenty or thirty kilograms of shackles, he felt much lighter.
Among the group of more than a hundred prisoners, he is the most inconspicuous one.
A person with no worries and a lonely family seems particularly miserable when he is caught in a group of exiles based on their families.
No matter how small your family is, there are still one or two people to talk to.
But he didn't.
He didn’t even have anyone to talk to.
He doesn’t need to speak either.
The official would give him food, but if he was not given food, he could dig weeds and eat raw fish as long as he was allowed to move.
Living is not that difficult.
He has lived like this for many years.
He stayed in jail for more than half a year, and in the end he didn’t know why he was exiled. Anyway, it was whatever the officials sentenced him for. He had a low life and sneaked into the capital with refugees fleeing famine. I was so hungry that I snatched the bun from someone's hand.
The servants next to the young master kicked him half to death in the street. After being taken into prison, Tieniu discovered that the prison in the capital actually gave him food? !
Although they are just scraps like pig food, they can still satisfy hunger.
Tie Niu remembered his father's words before he died: "Niu, go to Beijing. There are many noble people in Beijing. If the noble people reward you with some scum, you will be full."
In the dark and damp prison , Tieniu is used to seeing many people angrily shouting to the jailers: "Let me out!"
Tieniu never wants to go out!
There is nothing to eat outside.
One day the jailer came in and said: "Tianniu, come out!"
He squatted in the corner, struggling, and was finally dragged out by the jailer.
The jailer took the money. He saw it, but it was useless. Others tied his hands, put shackles on his neck, and pushed him into the crowd. Only then did Tieniu find out that he had been exiled.
Where to be exiled?
He turned pale with fright. He didn’t know what exile was, he only knew what escape was.
People cannot survive outside.
Later, while walking, Tieniu’s fear all disappeared when the escorting officials served dinner on the first night.
On the road of exile, the officials were in charge of the food!
Exile is great.
While others were cursing the heavens and the earth, Tieniu walked in chains and admired the scenery along the way. What was the north like? Others said it started to snow outside the customs.
Tieniu has seen snow, the kind that is so thin that it disappears before it even hits the ground.
What does snow look like in the north?
While resting, others scolded others, but Tieniu concentrated on eating and sleeping without any distractions.
I have clothes on my body, although they are tattered and have a big word "prison" on them, but they can cover my body and keep me warm, which is better than being naked.
Tieniu is like a quiet alien among the prisoners, inconspicuous and unnoticed.
The amazing thing is that I am not bullied by others.
Pang Jiming was not far from him. He had noticed this young prisoner several times, but he had never heard him speak. With his dark skin and dull appearance, he was like a drop in the crowd. The water fell into the sea and disappeared in an instant.
He found that it was rare to be able to deal with hardships as calmly as this little brother.
Pang Jiming was also tired. Liu Zai was in front of him with kindness and power, and he was doing the same thing.
After leaving the inn and heading north, the forest is denser than before.
The team stopped and walked. Pang Jiming was good at terrain observation. Even though he didn't have paper and pen now, he walked all the way from Gyeongwei to Gyeongjufu and further in. The mountains and rivers he saw on this section of the road were astonishing. It was imprinted on his heart unconsciously.
Because of Xie Zhen, Pang Jiming quietly and unintentionally paid more attention to every move of the Xie family.
It’s just that he no longer has any expectations for a family like them.
The powerful will always be the powerful, even if they are exiled, the Xie family, the Chai family, etc. are different from pure common people like them.
"Husband, you eat, the soup will get cold after a while." My wife reminded me. Pang Jiming turned around and smiled at his wife, "Okay, okay, you and the kids eat quickly."
Pang Jiming and his wife had a son and a daughter, and their two children followed. He suffered, and what Pang Jiming felt most guilty about was this. His daughter was already ten years old, and she was a little girl. She used to live a carefree life following her wife's example, but now her daughter is carrying a messy The sight of his hair and dirty little face made Pang Jiming feel uncomfortable.
Break off half of the pancake in your hand, divide it into two pieces and put them in the bowls of the two children.
"Don't worry, you're choking."
"Daddy, eat more." The children returned one after another.
He was stopped by Pang Jiming, "Dad, you are not hungry. Eat more and you will grow stronger."
Half of the pancake will be finished quickly. After the prisoners around him have eaten more, it is time to rest. Pang Jiming avoided the others and quietly stuffed a few wild fruits into the hands of his wife and children.
“Dad!”
“Shh——”
Before the two children could exclaim, Pang Jiming hissed to stop him and whispered into the children’s ears: “ Picked it up while walking through the forest."
Looking at his children's shining eyes, Pang Jiming's eyes grew hot.
The daughter held the fruit with some bumps in her hand and was reluctant to eat it. She asked in a low voice: "Dad? Is this fruit edible?"
Pang Jiming gently touched the top of his daughter's head. , "Yes, there are pits on the fruit, which means that small animals or birds have gnawed it. We humans can also eat such wild fruits."
He deliberately left a relatively complete fruit for his wife, "You also have it. . ”
I don’t know whether it was the subtle sound of children chewing the fruit or Tieniu’s keen sense of smell. After eating, Tieniu, who was lying on his side to rest, suddenly turned around and looked back to follow the scent of the fruit.
Pang Jiming was teased by his wife a few times, and when he raised his head, he met Tieniu's dark eyes in the darkness of dusk.
Pang Jiming was shocked!
The heartbeat accelerated and the blood rushed to the top of his head. Pang Jiming didn't know what he was suddenly afraid of.
However, Tieniu's reaction was beyond his expectation.
The other party just stared at him for a while, and then at the two children behind him. There was no reaction. There seemed to be an expression of realization on his face, and then he turned around and went back to sleep.
"Husband?"
"Husband!"
Pang Jiming came back to his senses.
“What’s wrong?”
Pang Jiming shook his head, “It’s okay, go to bed early.”
The wife did not ask the reason for her husband's abnormal expression, but she did not ask any more questions and took a rest while protecting the two children.
Pang Jiming calmed down and secretly cursed himself for being incompetent. Was he old or something?
Having been an official for many years, I was just frightened by the calm eyes of a boy.
The last ray of glow on the horizon has faded, and the night has dimmed.
Not long after, the camp started to light fires to keep warm.
According to Xiong Jiushan's order, all prisoners will rest in the first half of the night and set off on a night walk at three o'clock tomorrow.
Thank the family for eating and resting separately.
Xie Yuchuan peeled off a candy and lay under the tree with the bundle on his pillow.
It’s very late. Isn’t the house god coming today?
While I was thinking, a familiar voice came to my mind: "Xie Yuchuan, think less tonight, go to bed early, and take you somewhere."
Xie Yuchuan's heart froze, and he concentrated in his mind and said seriously:
"Xie Yuchuan: OK."
Tucked his body slightly, closed his eyes and rested quickly to fall asleep.
On the other side of the villa, Tu Hua, who had not read the fine print in the entire instruction manual, finally slumped on the sofa after using up all the time limits on the transformation cards.
“Phew—it’s so exciting to be a cat that jumps up and down!”
