Wei Shaoqing and his group walked for quite some time and had already left the capital and were heading south.
These days, the whole family has been going through the most difficult time in their lives.
Every day we had dry steamed buns, and sometimes there were no steamed buns at all.
Wei Tianen lost several pounds due to hunger, and his originally plump body became thin.
The officials in charge of the escort knew exactly who Wei Shaoqing and his family had offended, and they showed no mercy.
It is common to be whipped a few times if you walk too slowly.
At first some people resisted, but gradually, everyone became numb.
Not to mention there are several patients on the way.
The old lady could not speak and had difficulty walking. She thought her son and daughter-in-law would take care of her during her exile.
But Wei Shaoqing hardly spoke, and he kept his head down every day, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Bai Ruyue disliked the old lady and Wei Wanxue for being a drag and ignored them completely.
Wei Wanxue would go crazy from time to time, cursing this and that.
Sometimes he scolded Yuan Zhao for kicking someone when he was down, sometimes he scolded Bai Ruyue for being a disaster, and sometimes he shouted that he wanted to go back to the capital...
If they hadn't been exiled, this family would have fallen apart and gone their separate ways long ago.
Not long after leaving the capital, the group stayed in a dilapidated temple on the mountain that night.
It was raining heavily, the night was cold, and even the steamed buns were gone.
Several people were starving. Bai Ruyue looked at the sky outside and walked in the dark to one of the escorting officials.
"Sir, you see, I'm really hungry now. I'm going out with my daughter to pick some mushrooms or wild fruits. It's raining, and we can't walk far. We'll be back soon, okay?"
The official looked at the heavy rain outside and asked her, "Why are you going out in such heavy rain?"
Bai Ruoyue forced a smile, but in fact it was dark in the temple and she couldn't see anything clearly.
"The child is hungry, and there is nothing a mother can do."
As she spoke, she groped in the darkness and touched the official's shriveled hand. She suppressed the nausea in her heart and skillfully placed the hand on her chest.
The official chuckled and took a special look at Wei Shaoqing's position, but he touched it with his hand with great enjoyment.
Wei Shaoqing just lowered his head, as if he saw nothing.
The official used a harder blow and pulled Bai Ruyue into his arms, his movements becoming more rough and rough.
Bai Ruyue pushed him away slightly and said coquettishly, "Master, it will be dark soon. I... better go and come back early."
The official panted in her ear, "Next time, give it to me, and I'll hide some meat for you."
I'm only allowed to touch it once every time, how can that be enough?
Bai Ruyue smiled and pulled herself out of the official's arms, "Then I'll go..."
After saying that, Bai Ruyue stood up, grabbed Wei Jiaojiao and walked out.
The official stared at them and said, "Go, but don't go too far. Your son is still here."
Along the way, Bai Ruyue often took the little girl to the woods to pick up some things, and they were often lucky and picked up some pheasants, rabbits and so on.
Anyway, it's raining heavily now, and they, an orphan and a widow, can't run away.
Bai Ruyue nodded repeatedly and didn't even glance at Wei Shaoqing when she passed by.
Along the way, Wei Shaoqing, as a man, was completely useless.
If she had not humbled herself and gained the favor of the escorting official in exchange for some food, they would have starved to death long ago.
At first, when she was just exchanging glances with the official, Wei Shaoqing accused her of being shameless and having an affair with other men.
But the official whipped him a few times on the way, and he was speechless.
Now that everything is in jeopardy, Wei Shaoqing can't even say a word.
However, Bai Ruyue has always been careful about what she does. The road of exile is still long, and if she commits herself too early, it will no longer be new.
So she was just helping people get started.
Bai Ruyue pulled Wei Jiaojiao into the woods. After walking for a while, Wei Jiaojiao wanted to pull her hand back.
"Mom, it's raining heavily, I don't want to go!"
Bai Ruyue turned around and glared at her, "You must go!"
Wei Jiaojiao started to throw a tantrum, "Why don't you let brother go?!"
Bai Ruyue was a little impatient and dragged him along, "Your brother has never suffered any hardship, but this is all you can do! If only you had a little luck and picked up something good..."
Hearing this, Wei Jiaojiao felt very uncomfortable.
When the family was well-off, the difference between their mother and her three siblings was not that noticeable.
Now that she is down and out, Wei Jiaojiao finds that although she is the youngest, she always has to do the most tiring work.
As for Wei Tianen, his family made him so fat that he just threw tantrums.
She felt unfair, but there was nothing she could do.
She now felt that all the dreams she had before were just deceiving herself!
Luck is a very uncertain thing!
If she was really lucky, why was she exiled?
If she was really the chosen one, she should be like Yuan Nan'an, living in a mansion and wearing gorgeous clothes!
But now she could only let Bai Ruyue pull her to find something to eat in the pouring rain.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Why should she suffer like this?
At this time, she saw a cave on the side of the hillside, and Bai Ruyue was looking for a hare in front of it.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Wei Jiaojiao couldn't stand it anymore. She didn't care about Bai Ruyue and ran directly to the cave to hide from the rain.
…
After an unknown amount of time, there was a loud rumble of thunder. Bai Ruyue, who was digging a wild vegetable, suddenly felt that the surroundings were eerily quiet.
She called out "Jiaojiao", but no one responded.
When she stood up, the rain was so heavy that she couldn't see what was happening ahead.
