The fat white woman seemed to want to divert attention from the pain in her feet, so she took the initiative to ask Xu Jinhuan.

Xu Jinhuan nodded, "I'm used to it."

Just these four simple words made the plump white woman's eyes well up with tears. What a poor child! She would protect him as much as possible in the future.

Never let those annoying members of the Xu family get close to this child.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the front.

"Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?"

The team stopped instantly and everyone looked forward in confusion.

It turned out to be an old woman who looked to be in her sixties, who had fainted on the ground.

"Sir, can you take a break? My mother fainted from the sun. I have money!"

The man in his forties took out a five-liang silver ingot and stuffed it into the officer's hand.

The officer weighed the money unhappily, shook his head and said, "Now is the time to hurry, your five taels are not enough to keep everyone waiting for you."

"Didn't you only ask for five taels this morning? Why are you raising the price?" the woman next to the man said anxiously.

The officer didn't care about all this. He just turned around, took the silver and left.

"Hey, officer, please don't go. It should be okay this time." The man reluctantly took out another five-liang silver ingot and handed it to the officer.

The officer took it with a smile and said, "It would have been great if you had been so obedient earlier."

Then he shouted to the team, "Everyone take a break before continuing on your journey."

The road this time was not very good. There were farmlands all around and not even a place to shelter from the sun. Even though everyone was sitting on the ground, they were still sweating.

"I was right before, wasn't I? These guys are asking for a really high price. They asked for ten taels of silver right away, and we haven't even been on the journey for a day."

Xu Jinhuan listened to the fat white woman's complaints and nodded. These yamen runners were indeed more evil-hearted than each other. If they provoked her, she wouldn't mind getting rid of them all.

"Aunt, if you really can't hold on any longer, you can get together. We'll all be resting together anyway, so it won't be a loss."

The fat white woman nodded while pounding her legs. "That's a good idea. I'll go talk to them after we rest for a while."

While they were chatting, a burst of crying suddenly came from not far away.

"Mother, I am unfilial and have made you suffer this punishment even at your old age. After you reunite with father in the underworld, please come and see me in your dreams more often."

"Goodbye, Grandma!"

“Wuwuwu…”

It turned out that something happened to the old woman who had just fainted.

The exiles felt sad when they heard the crying, and no one knew whether they would be the next one to get into trouble.

Because of this feeling of grieving over the loss of the old woman, a group of people helped to dig a pit to bury the old woman.

After the burial, the officers called everyone to set off again.

They walked until evening, and because there was no village or shop nearby, they could only sleep in the wild.

"Have fun, come to the circle!"

The plump white woman smiled and called Xu Jinhuan over.

As Xu Jinhuan approached the big circle drawn with powder, he smelled the scent of realgar.

The plump white woman smiled and said, "This is the medicine powder my mother brought me. It can drive away snakes and insects in the wild, and it will also allow me to rest more comfortably."

Just as Xu Jinhuan was about to say something, he heard the scolding of an officer not far away.

"Oh, there are really people who don't care about their lives. You want to take back the money that we have taken?"

Xu Jinhuan looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance. The one asking for money was none other than the second son of the Xu family, her adopted second brother Xu Tiankuo.

"Officer, my brother has woken up now and doesn't need a doctor. We didn't go to town to see a doctor tonight, so why should you return the money to us? Even if you don't return all of it, you can at least return half of it, right?"

The officers all laughed when they heard this.

"Have you ever seen a Pixiu spit out money? I'm happy today, so I won't whip you. Why don't you get out of here right now?"

Just as Xu Tiankuo was about to say something, he was stopped by Xu Tianzhu who came rushing over.

"Second brother, do you value money more than your life? How dare you take money out of the police officer's pocket?"

After Xu Tianchu finished speaking, he grabbed Xu Tiankuo and said with a smile, "Sir, he is not very smart. Don't bother with him. I will take him away now."

After saying that, he said to Xu Youyou beside him: "Big sister, come with me and hold on to my second brother!"

Xu Youyou didn't want to get involved in these things, but Xu's mother kept nagging about how others had food to eat but only their family was starving, and even their only ingot of silver was gone.

She kept repeating this over and over again, just like Xianglin Sao. Xu Youyou was really annoyed by it, so she came out with Xu Tianchu.

Hearing Xu Tianchu's words at this time, he could only reluctantly follow him and pull Xu Tiankuo away.

There were two officers who touched their chins and looked at Xu Youyou's back with lewd smiles.

"Is this the most talented lady in the capital? I think she is just average looking. Her face is as swollen as a pig's head. She can even order more dishes when she drinks."

Another officer shook his head and said with a lewd smile, "You don't understand this, right? She was entangled with the Fifth Prince before. A woman who can make the prince obsessed must be extraordinary."

"Oh~~"

The officers looked at each other and smiled obscenely.

"If I have the chance, I must taste what this prince's woman is like."

"Remember to call your brothers when the time comes, so I can try it too."

These officers laughed wantonly, not afraid of being discovered at all. On the road to exile, they were the local emperors, and if they wanted to survive, they had to be obedient.

On the other side, Xu Jinhuan had already entered a state of meditation to recover his strength.

According to the plot transmitted by the system, the Fifth Prince will come personally to rescue Xu Youyou in order to show his importance to her.

After rescuing Xu Youyou, he ordered the secret guards to kill everyone, disguised himself as bandits, and then drove away.

Xu Jinhuan was not going to give the Fifth Prince any chance to save people. If it weren't for the restrictions of heaven, she would have wanted to kill the Fifth Prince right here.

Her sword had long been thirsty for the blood of its enemies.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, rustling sounds suddenly came from the surroundings.

Xu Jinhuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Xu Youyou in an instant.

"Tingjun, is that you?"

Xu Youyou had been trying hard to resist the urge to sleep, just to wait for Lei Tingjun's arrival.

Lei Tingjun was also a little excited when he heard the voice of his beloved. He walked carefully to Xu Youyou in his nightgown.

"Youyou, it's me. Don't be afraid. I'll take you away right now."

After saying that, Lei Tingjun put his arms around Xu Youyou's slender waist, ready to use his light skills to leave.

But at this moment, I heard a sound of breaking air, followed by a pain in my buttocks...
