Chapter 434: Xie Family’s Inspiration
Everyone has now changed into the "life-saving suits" given by Xie family's god Tu Huan. They felt very windproof and warm when they first put them on, but after rushing all the way here, as soon as they sat down, they felt as if their bodies were steaming.
Some people were so overheated that they couldn't help but open their protective clothing to cool down.
It's late at night.
It was quiet all around, with the occasional sound of wild animals in the suburbs.
Some of the escorting officials were patrolling everywhere according to Chu Feijian's orders.
The "caravan" members under Han Qiguang also took the initiative to help keep an eye on safety everywhere, and tried their best to leave safe rest time for the people in the protection circle.
After a long journey, everyone had consumed a lot of energy and was now tired and hungry.
The rule during exile was to eat during the day and rest at night.
But today is special.
Nowadays, almost everyone seems to be taking the Xie family's every move as a reference. When they see that the Xie family members sit down and do not lie down to rest immediately, others only dare to sit and lean on them, simply pat their shoulders and legs to relax.
The Xie family didn't lie down because they knew they would have to leave soon?
Or is it too dangerous tonight to let our guard down?
No matter which one it was, everyone's eyes were fixed on the actions of Madam Xie and others.
Unexpectedly, after staring for not long, Mrs. Xie stood up and said a few words to Chu Feijian, and then took people to fetch water in a pot, boil water, and cook instant vegetable soup.
Fortunately, when abandoning the baggage, everyone carried their own important "supplies".
The Xie family took the lead in cooking. On this cold night, being able to eat something hot warmed them up all over.
The officials who were in charge of serving meals served the prisoners one by one. Now, among the prisoners, there were no longer those troublemakers who used to make trouble.
There were only a few weak people left, and the escorts took care of them along the way, which was very convenient.
Moreover, there are mostly elderly and weak women here, and more women than men, making them easier to manage. There is no need for officials to shout loudly. As long as the Xie family leads everyone in doing something, the others can be settled one after another with the help of the women of the Xie family and others.
When traveling at night and temporarily camping in the suburbs, I am most afraid of being cold.
It was very cold at night. After everyone had filled their stomachs with warm soup, Mrs. Xie asked her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, to lead the women to make some ginger soup to dispel the cold and keep everyone warm.
When everyone saw this, gratitude showed on their faces.
Chu Feijian came to Old Madam Xie to express his gratitude. Old Madam Xie waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Sir, you are really embarrassing me. We are now guilty and have troubled you all to take care of us along the way. Thank you for your hard work."
Although Madam Xie's words were sincere, Chu Feijian didn't dare to take them seriously.
He knew what was going on along the way.
"It's already late at night, and I don't know how long I need to hide here."
Madam Xie thought for a moment and said, "It's only a few hours until dawn. Let's wait and see."
In order to ensure safety, almost all the prisoners gathered together during this rest period. In this way, although there was less space for everyone to stretch out, it was warmer with more people.
The escorts built several fires around the outside to prevent attacks from wild beasts and to keep everyone warm.
As for whether it would attract the attention of the people chasing behind, it was not within Chu Feijian's consideration at the moment.
In fact, there were two or three people missing from the "caravan" along the way. Chu Feijian knew this, but he didn't ask much. Every once in a while, one person would come back.
I have a guess about the kneecaps, and I also know where those people went.
As Chu Feijian sat on the ground drinking hot porridge, he secretly glanced at that side a few times, and kept telling himself in his heart to turn a blind eye.
Since Lord Xiong has spoken, he should have an idea of who is here.
Just make sure the other party won't cause you any trouble.
The place we chose to rest here was indeed a good one. We rested for a while and the "spies" who came back later didn't bring any bad news.
Chu Feijian chatted with Mrs. Xie and Zhang Dayi for a while.
Nothing too dangerous should happen to them tonight, so I'll tell everyone to relax and have a good rest first.
Some people kept watch around at night, while others seized the hard-earned time and quickly rested.
You cannot take off your life-saving clothes. In order to be able to get up and continue your journey at any time, even your bag and other personal belongings must be kept in a convenient place.
Only in this way can we escape before the crisis comes.
Thank you family, except for the youngest child, all the adults will not sleep tonight.
Everyone carried the self-defense spray given by the household god on their bodies and in their arms, helping the escorts and some people from the "caravan" to look after everyone inside and outside.
A group of fugitives, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, gathered in the innermost area to secretly catch up on their sleep.
Some prisoners couldn't sleep. They originally kept their eyes open and counted the stars in the crowd. Later, they looked at the Xie family who were busy running around for everyone's safety.
Not long after, it seemed that some of the women of the Chai family, who had been able to live a prosperous life despite being exiled, also went to help the Xie family.
Some people squinted their eyes and looked at it secretly for a long time without quite believing it.
Are those people whose lives are valuable actually willing to go to this extent to protect ordinary people like them or even untouchables?
She lowered her head and stared at the sturdy and warm clothes on her body. She had never worn such good clothes since she was born.
Unexpectedly, it was only after she was exiled that she was able to benefit from the help of a noble person and see that there are such good things in this world.
Raise your head and look forward.
Seeing the Xie family, they took out their own long blanket and gently covered the elderly people and young children in the team.
The woman, who had been in a miserable state all the way, suddenly felt her eyes warm for some reason.
I have stayed in the cold night for too long and really can't stand any warmth. I always feel that I am not worthy and can't keep it.
However, at this moment.
The men who were exiled with her were not around. The woman, who had been cowardly for a long time, was inexplicably summoned by something. She suddenly plucked up the courage, stood up, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards where the women of the Xie family were busy with their work with firm steps.
"Excuse me?"
The women of the Xie family were discussing with each other what they needed to prepare in advance so that they could be better prepared for protection.
Suddenly, I heard a female voice beside me.
Everyone immediately stopped chatting and looked back.
There was a thin and slender woman, twiddling her fingers and looking at her family.
The Xie family was slightly stunned: "?"
I don't quite understand why the other person came here suddenly.
"I see you're still busy even though you've rested. I can't sleep. I wonder if I can help you with anything?"
Xie Zhen said: "Aren't you tired? You've been running all the way."
"It's okay. I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to help you guys with something. Is that okay?"
Before the Xie family could say anything, several more people stood up beside the woman and approached her like she did.
"We can't sleep either. If there's any work left, let us help out."
