Chapter 404: Changes in the Xie Family and Misunderstandings
"When the accident happened outside the city, the Xie family didn't just care about their own people. They were willing to help others as much as they could. This is a family of benevolence and righteousness. When people are down and out, they can do anything, but they still act according to their own rules. If we are not here and something really happens, you can go to the Xie family for help. There is always a glimmer of hope."
The woman kept her husband's instructions in mind and spent the afternoon taking care of her parents-in-law, sister-in-law and children, moving from the back to the front as fast as she could.
As long as they walked faster, the escorting officers today would not be as rude as before. Seeing how actively the family was "traveling", they even praised them when they were in a better mood.
While the other fugitives nearby thought the Xie family was strange, the woman who had finally moved to the vicinity of the Xie family and was traveling together had a different idea in her mind.
She held her son's hand and silently observed the Xie family for a long time. Then she turned around and whispered to her parents-in-law, "Dad, Mom? Look at the way the Xie family walks. Don't they seem a little too solemn?"
The elderly parents-in-law had actually seen it a long time ago.
Seeing their daughter-in-law say this, they all nodded.
"You've never seen the Xie family traveling in such a hurry before, have you?" asked the father-in-law.
"Rare." said the mother-in-law.
The woman thought for a moment, then suddenly whispered doubtfully, "Father and Mother, my husband told us before he left that the Xie family is not an ordinary family. It seems like they really have gods looking after them. Could you two think about this journey?"
After all, they were a family that received salaries from the imperial court in the past. The three of them looked at each other and then went to look at the Xie family.
The little girl behind the mother-in-law, who had been silent all this time, whispered softly, "The young master of the Xie family is only a few years old. He has walked all the way. Isn't he tired?"
The three of them turned around when they heard this, and saw that Ruan couldn't stand her son's "arrogance" anymore, so she picked him up and held him in her arms.
The sister-in-law whispered, "Brother Feng is a generation older than him."
The implication is self-evident.
The ancient woman was a little suspicious, but she had no basis for her suspicion. She just felt that something was not right.
Since her husband had instructed her before he left to follow the way the Xie family acted, she should do the same.
She mentioned this to her family, and soon, their family of five suddenly changed from being lazy to being as serious as the Xie family not far ahead.
The other prisoners soon discovered the "abnormality".
“…………”
What is going on?
We've been exiled, do we still have to travel like this?
Everyone looked around, not knowing what was going on, but unknowingly, some people, for unknown reasons, also followed the crowd and cheered up, imitating the Xie family and the woman's family of five, walking with their chests held high and their heads held high.
I am a little tired, but I feel a lot more energetic.
"Are you sick? What's all this for?"
"Did something happen up ahead? Why are you all so nervous all of a sudden?"
"No."
So someone gave a few explanations, but this made everyone even more confused.
"Well, let's just go the same way as the way ahead."
There were some who didn't care. They quickly moved from the front to the back. Although they were slow and dragged down the whole team, their "mental outlook" suddenly became brand new without them noticing.
Of course, there are always those who disrupt the team and those who can't help but complain. However, those murmurs do not harm the overall situation.
The Xie family soon discovered this situation.
Everyone looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.
How come all of a sudden, the other exiles are like the Xie family, rushing on with all their energy and vigor?!
Everyone in the Xie family: "..."
They happened to learn that the young master Xie Jiarui had accidentally "seen" the god's carriage, and they were afraid that the family god would come and see them in a disheveled state, which would not look good, so they walked with all their might.
They want to leave a "good impression" in front of the household gods.
What are others doing?
Aren’t you tired of walking like this?
Both sides clearly felt that the other's behavior was strange, but no one interfered with the other. Unknowingly, the situation in the rear of the entire exile team underwent some strange changes.
Suddenly, the group of convicts began to march in a more orderly manner, and each of them acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The two caravans following behind were also stunned!
What's going on?
The Min family caravan followed the exile team all the way from Gaojia Village. As time went by, the person in front came to Min Zhong to speak.
"Manager Min, the prisoners ahead seem a little strange in their speed."
Min Zhong perked up immediately, "What's going on? What's strange?"
"It seemed like something happened ahead, so they walked very carefully."
When Min Zhong heard this, his heart skipped a beat!
not good!
Even though we were following the official team, we were unable to deter the bad guys.
He hurried to find Wu Liang, who was escorting the team. Everyone should stop resting and be alert, ready with weapons, and be ready to deal with unexpected changes at any time.
When one family moves, those nearby will naturally notice it as well.
A group of Han Qiguang's men, disguised as a caravan, were escorting a group of trucks at the back. They were surprised to see that the "real caravan" in front was different, and even saw them secretly drawing knives and sticks in their hands.
"Boss, there's no signal up ahead? Is something wrong, or do we need to take action?"
"I don't know. Send someone to find out."
"Okay!"
After a while, the person who went to inquire came back.
"The Min family's caravan is said to be different from the official caravan."
The leader looked up at the sky. There was still some light in the sky, but he didn't see any signal to "take action"?
Didn’t we say that we should wait until dark when we reach our destination and then separate before showing our knives?
"What about us?"
"Wait a moment." Just as he finished speaking, he saw a burly tall man at the end of the caravan in front of him. He suddenly pulled out a long-handled broadsword from under the cargo and held it in his hand.
“…”
His eyes trembled.
He turned around and whispered, "Get ready first. Everyone, be alert and wait for the master's orders."
Perhaps things have changed.
At this time, in front of the entire exile team, Han Qiguang, who had disguised himself as Taoist Guanghan, was chatting with Xiong Jiushan in a leisurely manner. They were about to arrive at the resting place, so they decided to "take a walk" near the mountains.
On the one hand, see if there are any idle people around, so as to scare them away. If there are any, disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
Secondly, it’s already evening, maybe we can hunt some wild game for a snack.
Anyway, there is still some distance and time.
Han Qiguang felt that although they seemed to be in a hurry and "relaxed" over there, maybe they were really confused over there.
Focus on one thing and leave your opponent confused.
Han Qiguang's smart mind never expected that the team had not yet reached the resting place.
Then an "accident" happened, and the problem was solved.
Tu Huan walked to the back and suddenly received a message from Qin Lang, so she let out the deer horn car and sat in it again.
In order to prevent Xie Jiarui from seeing it, she deliberately asked the system to block the deer horn car, so that Xie Jiarui could not see it.
Qin Lang's news also came in a very strange way.
"Ms. Tu, are you still in H City now?"
