Chapter 101 A Day of Rest
Gong Jue and the others were rough in their techniques, and Helian Zhi was fed shit in public, his face covered in filth.
At this moment, he was like a wooden man, his eyes were dull and lifeless. The rage that had been burning because of the poisoning incident was inexplicably extinguished after seeing this scene.
Helian Zhi lay there, his face covered with filth. His usual pride and cunning were completely washed away, leaving only endless humiliation and emptiness.
Gong Jue, who originally wanted to beat him up for the poisoning incident, now found it difficult to do so. He clenched his fists and then slowly released them, his eyes showing a complicated expression.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect this method to be so effective!" The Gong family members were full of admiration for Xia Xing'er. This girl from the Xia family was really amazing and knew so much!
"Don't be too happy too soon. He's only been suppressed temporarily. Do you think that demonic possession is so easy to resolve?"
Xia Xing'er was talking nonsense with her eyes open, but the key point was that everyone actually believed it, and someone immediately asked about it.
"Miss Xia, what should we do? How can we solve this problem?"
Xia Xing'er kindly suggested, "This is also simple. It just requires some hard work on your part. Just feed him once every three days. If you keep doing this for half a month, it should be enough."
Soon everyone started to have trouble again.
"We often rest in the wilderness. What should we do if we can't get to the post station? Where can we find these for him?"
"This is indeed a bit difficult, but there is a way. You can also produce fresh ones on the spot. Although the effect of fresh ones will not be as good as the effect accumulated over the years, it is better than nothing, right?"
Everyone was a little skeptical about what she said, but they also looked at her with a very certain and serious expression.
They had to believe it because she looked really experienced.
They didn't want to deal with such a mess, but they had to take it seriously when they thought about their own lives.
Gong Jue then asked the question that everyone was most concerned about: "Miss Xia, have we solved the poison yet?"
Xia Xing'er nodded and said, "It's solved. If you're still worried, you can drink more water."
Everyone now regarded Xia Xing'er's words as an imperial decree. Without any doubt, they all ran to the well to fetch water to drink.
Lin Wanqing watched Xia Xing'er resolve a crisis so easily in the crowd, her eyes filled with gloom.
I kept cursing in my heart: What a useless thing.
He was also feeling lucky that he had escaped the disaster, but when he thought of Helian Zhi's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but shudder.
Well, this serves as a reminder to her to be more careful in the future.
"Wanqing, drink more water. This is something Dad worked so hard to get."
Lin Yuanfeng handed the water he had snatched with great difficulty to Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing took the water handed to her by Lin Yuanfeng and drank it in one gulp, not leaving any for Lin Yuanfeng.
Lin Yuanfeng looked at her and opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
When Xia Xing'er, the Xia family, and Zhang San returned to the house, the food was already cold. Once the fire was extinguished, it cooled quickly.
Xia Xing'er did not waste the food. Instead, she took out the detoxification pill, dissolved it in water, poured it into the pot, and reheated it.
Although everyone had no appetite after what had just happened, they still finished their food in order to avoid waste.
The exile team rested at the post station for one night. At dawn the next day, Liu Youran got up and prepared breakfast for the family.
Zhuge Pei and Bai Wan'er quickly got up and took out the pots, pans, and utensils they were going to use.
Last night, the doors of the rows of bunk beds across the street kept opening and closing all night long. If Xia Xing'er hadn't lit some sleeping incense for them, they would definitely not have been able to sleep well.
Whenever they thought about how they drank so much water that their stomachs became as big as toads, they wanted to laugh.
Only his younger sister could come up with this method to deal with people, and the key is that it can make those people grateful to her and admire her wholeheartedly.
While Liu Youran, Zhuge Pei and Bai Wan'er were cooking, Gong Jue had already gone to the toilet more than a dozen times.
If he saw the Xia family cooking at other times, he might be interested in taking a look, but after these incidents, he began to feel wary of the Xia family.
His Gong family, as the head of a family that had existed for three dynasties, had declined in his generation. The highest rank of an official in the court was only the fifth rank. He was eager to restore the family to its heyday.
In his eyes, he looked down on everyone and was ambitious. This time he was exiled as part of an agreement between him and the emperor, and it was used as his hidden chess piece.
As long as he completed the task, the man promised to make them marquises, and he could not resist the temptation.
He originally thought it was easy, but he didn't expect that a small poisoning would expose his true identity.
But he still greeted Liu Youran politely: "Madam Xia is cooking!"
Liu Youran smiled and said, "Yes!"
Gong Jue looked at their attitude and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. It seemed that he was overthinking it.
"How about I help you guys?"
Gong Jue wanted to build a good relationship with the Xia family and get close to them. Even if the chances were slim, he didn't want to be targeted by the Xia family.
Zhang San and the others got up when they heard some noise in the yard.
After all, they also have to rely on Old Madam Xia to cook for them, and they can't just lie down and wait for food.
They had to go and help out, but what they didn't expect was that someone actually wanted to take their work. How could this be possible!
"Why are you running here instead of going back to your own place?"
Zhang San pulled out his whip and slammed it hard on the ground.
After seeing this, Gong Jue no longer dared to try to establish any connection with the Xia family.
Their lives were at stake, so they ran straight towards their own house, fearing that if they were a little slower, the whip would fall on them.
Zhang San felt a little satisfied when he saw Gong Jue running faster than a rabbit.
As the sky gradually brightened, the Xia family members got up one after another, had breakfast, and set out again on the road to Liangzhou.
After a long journey of several days, they finally arrived at Qingzhou.
The group was exhausted and stopped at the Linxiang Post Station leading to Qingzhou City. The post station was deserted and there were few people.
There are not even many postmasters, and no one knows what is going on?
Zhang San looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone has been traveling day and night for a while, and it's been very hard. Let's rest here tonight. Tomorrow we'll send a few people to the city to purchase supplies, rest for another day, and set off again the day after tomorrow."
This was a great thing for Master Xia and his companions who had been traveling for a long time, but when they felt their pockets and found that there were only a few coins in them, their hearts sank!
