Chapter 173: Someone actually thanks him?

Zhang Dayi readily agreed.

Zhang Hanlin was thinking over and over again in his mind as he lay down to sleep about how to find an opportunity to repay the Xie family and how to deal with this matter tomorrow.

There were four people in one room, and Xie Yuchuan wanted to give the better bunk to the older Zhang Dayi, but the latter was not willing to do so.

After several attempts at humility, Xie Yuchuan had no choice but to lie on the bed alone. The other three found their own places, and except for Xie Yuchuan, they all felt that they were fine.

After all, Zhang Dayi is the elder, and his sleeping place is second only to Xie Yuchuan.

The brothers Xie Wuying and Xie Wenjie were young men with strong energy. They spread their blankets on the ground in the middle and slept soundly.

Late at night, the room was quiet.

On both sides, Xie Yuchuan lay flat with his eyes closed and tried to communicate with the spirit again. Zhang Dayi faced inward and his back faced outward, thinking about Pang Jiming with his eyes closed, and dug out all the relevant knowledge in his memory and pondered it carefully.

He had never done this kind of matchmaking before, so he was a little unfamiliar with it.

Not long after, the sound of deep sleep could be heard between the two of them.

Zhang Dayi turned around and met Xie Yuchuan's gaze.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"The Major General should go to bed early."

"Sir, you should rest early and recharge your energy."

Late at night, Pang Jiming rubbed his sore wrist and was finally let go by the official who had temporarily asked him to do some work.

Originally, Pang Jiming was a fugitive, so it was difficult for him to refuse when the officials asked him to do something. But the officials who asked him for help today were in a good mood. Seeing that he was doing things smoothly, had finished the work he needed to do, and had written all the documents and letters to his family, they would not give him any money, but they could give him some leftover bread, meat, vegetables, etc. from the daytime.

Pang Jiming returned to his wife and children with a bowl of food given by the escorts.

After finishing his work for the officers, Pang Jiming should have returned to the woodshed, but his wife and children were scared, and he didn't want to return to the dangerous environment. So, taking advantage of the good mood of the officers tonight, he took the initiative to ask if he could take his family to the shack outside to sleep for a night after dinner.

Several officials were very surprised: "Didn't you specifically ask for the woodshed when you settled in at night? Why did you change it again?"

Before Pang Jiming could speak, other officers who knew the inside story whispered something in the ear of their talkative companions.

"No wonder." The official nodded after hearing this, and did not embarrass him. "Alright, since you asked for it on your own initiative, then go out and choose a place yourself. It's not comfortable outside at night, and it's not necessarily better."

"Thank you, sir." Pang Jiming said.

You can't bring food with you, as it could cause accidents.

Anyway, a bowl of dry biscuits and meat and vegetables is not much for four people. After a while, the family finished eating and went to the shack outside in the dark night to find a place to rest for the night.

Outside, there are only pitiful people in a miserable state.

With no power, no money and no food, and just one breath away from death, Pang Jiming came over with his wife and two children. Many people stared at them with numb and empty eyes.

There were also a few malicious glances cast on his family, seeing his wife's eyes shining and his two children drooling.

Pang Jiming glared back fiercely, and those gazes dispersed unwillingly.

Pang Jiming's wife and children held on to his clothes tightly, and finally found a corner along the edge of the shack.

There, there happened to be a familiar figure lying there.

Tie Niu finished his biscuits at night and slept soundly in the shack. When he turned over, he found a family of four huddled together beside him.

A dark face, frozen in the haystack at night: "..."

ah?

Tie Niu quickly recognized the four people on the other side, and because he recognized Pang Jiming's identity, he was even more confused.

In the quiet shack, the air is filled with the wonderful aroma of donkey dung.

Tie Niu was surprised and said, "This place smells so strong, you guys..."

Just because this location was so unbearable compared to other places, he slept peacefully in this corner, and no one came to compete with him for it.

How come when I turned over, four people appeared next to me?

Late in the night, after being frightened, the two children became tired and fell asleep in his and his wife's arms.

At this moment, he really didn't want to conflict with other fugitives because of something like "fighting" for territory, especially Tie Niu, who looked skinny but actually had a lot of brute force.

Tie Niu just frowned when he saw a small piece of dry food the size of a palm handed to him.

Food?! ! ! !

Tie Niu's eyes turned green!

He was about to reach out to grab it, but suddenly stopped, tilted his head, frowned, raised his chin slightly, and asked Pang Jiming: "What do you mean?"

"Let our family of four sleep here for one night." Pang Jiming negotiated in a low voice.

Tie Niu looked at him suspiciously, his eyes passed over the heads of the two children in their arms, and stared straight at the small piece of dry food in Pang Jiming's hand. With the help of a little moonlight, he found that it seemed to be a piece of cake?

Isn’t this thing only in the hands of escorts?

He saw that several officials among the escorting officials had eaten it.

Tie Niu's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed hard.

Just when Pang Jiming thought that he could not keep the half piece of rice cake as a reward for the escort, he saw Tie Niu suddenly turn over and lie down again.

"As long as you don't mind the smell."

Tie Niu said nothing and didn't take any food.

After a while, he heard a deep voice behind him: "Thank you for your care, brother."

Thanks?

Tie Niu thought to himself, hey, someone actually thanks him?

How fresh!

Pang Jiming didn't know what kind of mood he was in as he slept with his family in a corner of the shack for the night.

The next day, I got up early in the morning.

The whole family seemed to be immersed in the aroma of the smoke.

When they set off on the journey, the surrounding fugitives all retreated, wishing to stay away from them.

The escorts didn't want to come to their side today.

Only Tie Niu, unaware of anything, looked around with the shackles on his neck and walked steadily.

Pang Jiming seemed to have recognized Tie Niu, the fugitive who had no sense of existence in front of him, again.

The second day.

After studying all night and thinking of his words, Zhang Dayi slowed down his pace and made an excuse to slowly fall behind Pang Jiming and his family of four.

When they looked back from a distance, they found that the people around Pang Jiming were far away from them.

Zhang Dayi said to Xie Yuchuan, "Pang Jiming's situation isn't very good."

Xie Yuchuan looked back. He had a good vision and didn't quite understand why the people around Pang Jiming kept away from their family.

"I'll go and have a chat." Zhang Dayi said.

"Thank you for your help, sir."

As Zhang Dayi approached Pang Jiming, a pungent smell almost hit him.

Pang Jiming recognized Zhang Dayi.

Why is Hanlin Zhang Dayi, who has been living and eating with the Xie family, walking so slowly?

Is there something wrong with your body?

Pang Jiming didn't think about anything else. He just thought that Zhang Dayi suddenly left the Xie family and fell behind them, which might be because he had physical problems.

He was about to avoid the other person, but found that the other person's face changed.

In an instant, I realized the reason.

Pang Jiming paused slightly and stood still.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little awkward...
