Chapter 50: The Chai Family Needs God's Help

"Xie Yuchuan: The food and clothing given by the household gods have been distributed to the family. The whole family is deeply grateful. They have a few things they would like to give to you. However, it is inconvenient at this time and there is no incense to burn. Yuheng will burn incense with sincerity."

Tu Huan was stunned for a moment, and the system sound rang again.

[3 items of offerings from the Xie family have been collected: 1 white jade bracelet, 1 jasper rosary, and 1 Liang-made gold ingot.]

Under the tree in the dark night, after Xie Yuchuan concentrated his mind and silently recited, the three things placed on the square cloth on the ground in front of him all disappeared!

Xie Yuchuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, his face filled with amazement.

He originally just wanted to give it a try, but unexpectedly he found out how to offer sacrifices!

It turns out that all he needs is utmost sincerity and a single thought will lead to divine enlightenment.

Every day, the shock that the Xie family's household god brought to him grew day by day, and he really wanted to see with his own eyes how celestial and majestic the god was.

Because of the gratitude of the Xie family, she won a set of expensive exquisite clothes. Before she could finish being happy, the Xie family gave her a second unexpected surprise.

She saw the three things Xie Yuchuan had given her lying on the table.

Tu Huan's reaction was exactly the same as Xie Yuchuan's:

No, how on earth could the women of the Xie family hide these things after being imprisoned?

The crystal clear white jade bracelet, the lush green prayer beads, and the gold ingots that she had never touched before!

Even though she didn't know much about jewelry, she could tell that the two pieces of jewelry given to her by the women of the Xie family were not ordinary items.

What's more, that gold ingot is worth a lot of money, right?

The Xie family...are really honest.

This time, the system did not forcefully promote the exchange plan like it did the last time it encountered Xie Yuchuan's gold seal. Instead, it simply marked the conversion methods for each item in the system, which could be converted into money, points, or energy.

Just like last time, Tu Huan didn't choose anything.

Except for Xie Yuchuan, this was a gift given to her by other members of the Xie family.

The white jade bracelet was placed in her palm and still felt slightly warm. Tu Huan couldn't help but be surprised. This thing was too valuable.

Tu Huan felt quite complicated for a moment.

The other side.

After the jewels and gold disappeared, Xie Yuchuan never heard the voice of the household god.

I don’t know whether the things were delivered to the other party.

Then he suddenly remembered what the family god had asked him, and quickly replied:

"Xie Yuchuan: Not yet, but it's okay. I've practiced martial arts for many years, and I still have some skills to protect myself."

The phone dinged.

Tu Huan saw his answer.

She said in a voice message, "I'll pick out some self-defense items for you in a few days. Be careful on your journey. Also, I received the items. They're very good and I like them very much. Please thank your family for me. If they need anything later, please let me know."

The woman had difficulty walking, and she was afraid of how difficult the journey of exile would be. She didn't understand it in detail and wondered what she had missed.

As she spoke, a thought flashed through her mind, and she seemed to realize that she had forgotten to add a feminine product to her shopping list.

She immediately wrote down Xie Yuchuan's self-defense items and the feminine products used by the female members of the Xie family in her memo.

I have to find time to go out tomorrow, Tu Huan thought.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the Xie family.

When everyone curled up to sleep, they couldn't help but silently thank the household god in their hearts because of the warmth on their bodies.

Tu Huan was busy finishing her painting and was completely unaware of this.

The system did not disturb her and secretly collected points from the Xie family.

Unfortunately, points are not always available. Ordinary people can no longer collect them after reaching a certain amount. On the contrary, the energy from Xie Yuchuan is particularly abundant today.

In the second half of the night, the temperature dropped sharply.

Even from the officers' camp, curses were heard from time to time.

"What kind of weather is this! We haven't even left the border yet and it's already so cold!" One official couldn't stand it anymore and wrapped himself in a quilt to light the fire again, wishing he could hang himself over the fire to keep warm.

"It's so cold now, won't it snow heavily outside when we get out of the hilly pass?"

"It's hard to say! The winters have been extremely cold in recent years. Otherwise, the barbarians on the border wouldn't always invade."

By the fire, several people who were awakened by the cold came out to take over.

A few people were chatting around the campfire. The long night was very unbearable.

The place where the Xie family rested not far away was completely different from the resting conditions of the other prisoners around them.

"Hey, look at the Xie family over there, they seem to be sleeping well."

The yamen runner who said this looked over there, then looked at where the prisoners on his right were sleeping. Many of them were shivering with cold, wishing they could curl up like shrimps.

Some domineering people even strip off other people's clothes and cover themselves with them to keep warm. If the other party dares to complain, they will be beaten and kicked.

Everyone was extremely tired, and many people simply didn't have the energy to resist.

After one or two times, I didn’t dare to say it again.

When other people saw that this method was effective, many prisoners also started to think about it.

When the wronged prisoners ran to the officers to complain, the officers and soldiers didn't care much. As long as no one was killed and no one went too far, they really didn't want to keep them busy during their rest time.

If they really think something is too much, they can just give them a whip and give them a couple of warnings, but many people would rather take a couple of beatings than bully the weak.

When the environment is bad, it is difficult for people to maintain their kindness.

Some yamen runners couldn't sleep and were very bored during the long night.

Seeing that some young ladies were pretty, he felt like taking care of them and would ask a few questions when he passed by from time to time. His dirty thoughts were known to everyone passing by.

It is difficult to manage a large number of prisoners, but it is not impossible to manage them.

But why should I take care of you? Someone has to benefit, right? After a while, the prisoners understood the twists and turns here.

On the road ahead, they will have to get along with other prisoners around them. Those who have no one to rely on have been thinking about it thousands of times. Some of them are forced to look for targets who can protect them among those officials.

Xiong Jiushan has already fallen asleep.

Unaware of what was happening outside, the adjutant in charge of tonight's defense looked coldly at the swaying shadows in the corner.

As long as it does not affect the team's progress, some things are just experiences gained from countless exiles.

Zhang Hanlin took care of his elderly mother and covered her with his coat.

When the Xie family moved to a new place tonight, Xie Xiaolang also asked him what he thought.

He thought that he had already troubled the other party a lot on the way, and that they were just staying over temporarily tonight as they had to continue their journey early in the morning, so he did not follow them.

I didn't expect the temperature to drop so quickly in the second half of the night.

The cold air penetrated my bones and my teeth chattered.

Zhang Dayi became less and less confident about the journey after leaving the border.

Not far from the Xie family, the people of the Chai family, the former Duke of Dongbo’s mansion, are also having a very difficult night.

The father and son of the Chai family put on their clothes, gave some silver to the yamen runner in charge of the carriage, and sent their weak family members into the carriage to rest.

The carriage was small, so the father and son had to hide outside and rest next to the wheel.

This is already a good treatment among the prisoners. At least there are goods around to block the cold wind, which reduces the torture.

Chai Jin thought about what happened by the river in the evening and was still not sure.

"Father, does the Xie family really have a god?"

Dong Bohou crossed his arms and nodded, "Yes, the ancestors of the Chai family also came into contact with it."

"Does it work?"

"It should be pretty good."
