Chapter 176 The wealth is so enviable
After passing Laiwu Town, the exile team stopped and walked. By late afternoon, they saw that even if they accelerated their pace, they could not reach the next city, so they simply stayed in a wasteland. rest.
Xiong Jiushan sent two people to explore the surroundings to see if there were any people living near the fields in the mountains. They were unfamiliar with the wilderness and didn’t know what the situation was like today. All the way here, only people who were traveling in the same direction were missing. How many people and horses are coming from the opposite direction?
While walking on the road in the past, there would be people coming back from the north from time to time, but today there is no one around for most of the day.
Xiong Jiushan was a little uneasy and only ordered to rest in place for the time being to replenish his strength. As for whether to set up camp, wait and see if the situation is safe or not.
After receiving the news, the prisoners have become accustomed to it. They lie down or sleep in place, taking full advantage of the opportunity to rest and replenish their physical strength.
The resting place was not far away. Fortunately, there was a small stream. Xiong Jiushan asked the officers to fill up the empty water bags. After the officers had sorted it out, the prisoners were allowed to divide into groups. Go over to replenish water or quench your thirst.
The Min family's caravan is not in a hurry. It is difficult for them to get by when the escorts are busy. When the prisoners are tossing by the stream, they are not willing to get too close to the prisoners.
Guanshi Min meant, "When they are all settled, let's go to the wide area of the waterbed upstream and take care of it.
No one had any objections, so Cheng Ye took the steaming When I went to deliver a bottle of water to Xiong Jiushan, I saw caravans in the distance either leaning on the car to catch up on their sleep, or lying on the high pile of goods to push the car.
Having said that, Xiong Jiushan still found that his subordinate always looked back and stared at others from time to time.
When the two of them were about to finish eating, Xiong Jiushan said: "Cheng Ye, this errand is not easy to handle. We made preparations when we left the capital. We can deliver these people to the place without making any big mistakes. After all, our errand is done. As for the less important people, it will be convenient for both others and ourselves."
Cheng Ye raised his head: "My lord?"
"Concentrate on eating. . "
Xiong Jiushan reached for the kettle and almost missed it.
Cheng Ye sat cross-legged beside him, picked up the pieces of cake and broke them. Hearing the words, he raised his head and said, "No problem."
Cheng Ye just raised his head and drank the last sip of the warm soup when he heard Xiong Jiushan After telling him this in his ear, he put down the bowl and looked a little puzzled.
He looked up and found that Cheng Ye had been staring at the Min family's caravan. He leaned over and grabbed the kettle, poured it into the dry biscuits in the wooden bowl, and sprinkled some dried minced meat and dried vegetables. , Xiong Jiushan took a big bite of the local salty sauce sent by the clerk at the Laiwu Town Post Station.
Xiong Jiushan raised his eyes and glanced at him, turned around and opened the lid of the small jar next to his knees, picked out some salty sauce with chopsticks and placed it in Cheng Ye's bowl.
Cheng Ye heard it and hurriedly gathered his thoughts, turned around and concentrated on breaking the pancakes and putting the dried vegetables on them. He soaked in the hot water just boiled by the guards below and washed it down. In a short time, the aroma of the food wafted up.
Xiong Jiushan said in a low voice, which was both a reminder and a warning.
Xiong Jiushan's face showed little expression: "A little salty, but strong."
Cheng Ye looked at the salty sauce that had slowly melted in the bowl and ate it silently After one bite, I have to say that even with just a small dollop of salty sauce, this bowl of cake batter soup tastes much better.
The dry biscuits were not completely soaked yet, and when they were waiting for the space to be fully soaked, he asked casually: "Why do you always keep an eye on the caravan? There is something wrong with them?"
Okay. Let’s have a meal. Why is Master Xiong telling him this?
It was almost time for the prisoners to rest at the resting place. Xie Wuying took a few guards over to replenish the water bags that had been consumed on the way. Anyone else who had a water bag on their body was considered wealthy, and even more so. Many people just lay there and drank their fill before coming back. Some people used bowls, some people used bamboo tubes, and everyone who could use them was busy.
The Xie family drank five or six of them in a row, and they were so rich that people were jealous.
Not far from the stream, there was a resting place for Fan Wu and a group of brothers. They had finished playing and drinking, and now they gathered in a group furtively to look at the others. Before Xie Wuying brought the people over, they had just stared at a few women squatting by the stream and leaning over to drink water. They were so excited that they used dirty words to tease each other about who they liked more. Okay, let's talk about it and pick it up and bet on it.
Some people were not convinced and argued in front of Fan Wu. Fan Wu, who was full of anger, heard that they were betting on female prisoners and snorted: "Look at the prospects of you guys. Are there a few gangsters who can't hold on to your waistband? When you have a big fish in front of you, your eyes will pick out those crooked bastards."
"How can we have Master Fan's vision? I am half-blind, and the person in front of me has a bigger butt, so I can't tell a male from a female!"
"Hahahahaha, 伱This dead virtue has no chance of dying."
"What a good thing do you think you are?"
Someone heard Fan Wu's words. , came closer to him: "Master Fan, what kind of young lady can fall into your eyes?"
Master Fan looked at him with cold eyes.
“Master Fan, please tell me!”
The others heard this and came over to join in the fun, “Yes, Master Fan, please tell me!”
One or two of them said He praised Fan Wu with kind words. The more Fan Wu listened, the happier he became, "I think I, Mr. Fan, have been hanging out in the streets of Beijing's North City since I was a child. I have seen many beautiful young ladies, all fat and thin. Mr. Fan, I'm good morning." I'm tired of it. But it's not without regrets."
"What regrets, Mr. Fan?"
Fan Wu sighed and glanced in the direction of Xie's family, his eyes gradually becoming sinister. He snorted coldly: "Don't tell me, I have never tasted the taste of a noble girl and a chaste martyrdom in my life."
Fan Wuyi pointed out something, and for a while, the few cowardly prisoners did not dare to answer the question.
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you.
I felt a little uneasy and thought to myself: Fan Wu is so bold, how did he come up with this idea?
They did not dare to look in the direction of the Xie family's female relatives. They only dared to turn their backs and look at the several Xie family men who were fetching water in front of them.
The water bag in Xie Wuying's hand was pressed into the stream. He had just filled it halfway when he suddenly frowned and felt uncomfortable.
The guard beside him suddenly turned his head and looked back. A pair of eagle eyes instantly locked a few sly glances. Those people were suddenly caught in the sight of the Xie family, and they were as shocked as a rat that had stepped on its tail. , Zhiwa hurriedly looked away and turned left and right, inevitably colliding with his companions.
The guard turned around and said, "Master Wuying, it's Fan Wu's group."
Xie Wuying nodded with a gloomy face, "Keep an eye on these rubbish guys."< br>
"Yes."
Xie Wuying has always disliked Fan Wu and the Xie family. She didn't say anything to them along the way. In Gaojiacun, she used filthy words to the women of the Xie family from time to time. , I have long wanted to find a chance to stretch my muscles.
If it weren't for Huaizhang always urging him to calm down and not cause trouble.
Fan Wuye had long since opened his eyes to the fact that he could see stars in the daytime!
