Chapter 14 You've Never Had Your Ears Pierced
"Ao Qing..." Mo Beiyuan actually cared about her thoughts.
"Oh, no need to explain, I don't care, I just want to remind you."
Feng Aoqing originally wanted to help him treat his wound, but she felt that since Mo Beiyuan was using Duan Ya's medicine, he would definitely not use her medicine.
Even if Duan Ya's medicine is useless, it can still cure most of his injuries.
So, she did not mention helping him treat his injuries, and she could not explain the origin of the medicine.
"Today, you gave a pair of earrings to the escort to save Miss An?" Mo Beiyuan asked while eating.
"Oh, yes, the earrings I hid in my hair. Why, do you think they should be used to exchange for food instead of saving people?" Feng Aoqing's voice turned cold.
Mo Beiyuan frowned and looked at her, and saw that she had two ear holes on the side of her earlobe facing him.
He continued, "Oh, no, people should be saved. She saved you twice, so it was worth it. But I remember you never got your ears pierced because you were afraid of pain."
Feng Aoqing felt bad, he was exposed.
"How long has it been since you last saw me? I'm afraid you don't even remember! When you go home, you only see your mother and children, and you haven't spoken a word to me for at least several months." She immediately thought of a solution.
"Uh..." Mo Beiyuan thought about it, it really has been a long time.
"People change. I have no one to protect me, so I can only stop being afraid of pain."
When saying this, Feng Aoqing felt a little lost. She thought of her best friend Xue Jiaer, a girl who had never received any love or protection since childhood, so the little love given by her boyfriend made her sink.
I'm in trouble and I don't know if I saved Xue Jiaer. If I'm still alive, what should I do with this silly girl without my protection?
Thinking of this, she thought of her modern life and her modern relatives. Her nose felt sore and her eyes filled with tears.
Mo Beiyuan looked down at her red nose and red eyes, and he understood her hysteria.
Neither he nor the Mo family had ever loved her.
At a time like this, she actually started to take care of everyone, and she couldn't help feeling guilty.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Feng Aoqing yawning loudly. He shoved the porridge into his mouth roughly and said, "Eat quickly! I'm so sleepy!"
He decisively took back what he wanted to say. He took the bowl, discarded the spoon, and drank directly from his mouth.
Feng Aoqing yawned and walked to the fire, shook his sleeves and threw some medicine in. He couldn't let Mo Nanzhou turn into a pig's head tonight.
In order to avoid his suspicion, she carefully made a grass ring with grass leaves and put it on him, and only then did he go to sleep with peace of mind.
Seeing that everything was settled, Feng Aoqing breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to rest, rubbing her sore wrists and ankles.
It was really hard to be locked up all the way.
Just as she was thinking, An Jinge sat down next to her. She touched her collar and then touched Feng Aoqing's chain.
There was a slight "click" sound and the chain opened. An Jingge caught the falling chain and raised her eyebrows at her.
Feng Aoqing opened her palm and found a small sword that was not even as thick as a finger. It was very sharp and should be a hidden weapon.
An Jin let her watch, untied her anklet, and then hid the small sword back into her collar.
"If you have this ability, why don't you run away?" Feng Aoqing asked curiously.
"Where to run to? If you run away, you will have to hide for the rest of your life. Besides, the An family has other branches, so it will be difficult to survive." An Jinge replied.
Yes! During the meal last night, Feng Aoqing also noticed that there were many capable people in the team. Why didn't they run away? I guess the answer is the same as An Jinge's.
"Don't worry, we will definitely live better in the exile place than in the capital." Feng Aoqing thought about the gold, silver, pearls and jade in his space. With his business acumen and vision, wouldn't he be rich enough to rival a country?
"When you arrive at the place of exile, if your man can keep you from going to a brothel, he will be considered a capable man." An Jinge poured a bucket of cold water on her head.
Feng Aoqing looked at her in astonishment.
An Jinge told the naive Feng Aoqing that if a woman was exiled, it was equivalent to being sentenced to death, which was even worse than the death penalty.
The place of exile was in Hantian Valley, Yanguan City, Yanzhou, the northernmost part of Zhaojing State. It was a bitterly cold place surrounded by mountains. The city was not small, but it was sparsely populated. It was also difficult to get to the nearest big city, Yanguan City, without crossing the mountains.
When they arrived at the place of exile, local officials assigned them jobs according to the severity of their crimes. Those who were lucky were enslaved and served in the homes of officials and scholars. Most of them were engaged in heavy labor, such as clearing wasteland and mining, until they died.
Not to mention the hardships that female prisoners endured on the journey, they also had to face the abuse of male prisoners and escorts. Almost all the women who managed to reach the place of exile alive, as long as they were acceptable, were sent to brothels, even those who were married.
If you want to run, they are not afraid, because you can't get out of the mountain or reach Yanguan City. There is no need to even find your body, it must have been eaten by wild beasts.
Feng Aoqing had always thought that her trip to Yanguang would be free and easy! She was still planning on buying a house, land, and eating delicious food!
She felt a chill on her back. The other three female prisoners were protected by her and the Mo family on the way and were able to survive safely to Yanguan, but in the end they could not escape the fate of being sent to a brothel.
"So, it's a good thing you have the ability, otherwise I would have harmed you instead."
"Young Madam, what are you talking about? Being alive is better than being dead."
Feng Aoqing had an idea in mind: we have money, and money can make the world go round.
She said confidently, "How can I rely on men? I have to rely on myself. Whether I go to a brothel or not is up to me. Don't worry, we won't go to a brothel."
"Well, we will enter Huzhou tomorrow, which is the easiest part to travel. You'd better buy some things while passing through the city. The road will be difficult to travel after leaving Huzhou." An Jingge didn't seem to be worried at all about what would happen after arriving at the place of exile.
People with ability are different.
We walked for another day today and completely left the capital and entered the area of Yanzhou. I heard from Mo Beiyuan that we will enter Yanzhou Yanjing City tomorrow.
In Zhaojing State, one must go through the corresponding entry and exit procedures when entering or leaving the state. They have procedures for leaving the capital, and now if they want to enter Yanzhou, they must enter Yanjing City as the first city because they need to go through the procedures for entering the state.
Yanzhou was the richest prefecture in Zhaojing State. Before the capital was established, the capital also belonged to Yanzhou. The land was flat and fertile, with several rivers running through it. It was the granary of Zhaojing. Because of its concentrated urban area, convenient transportation, and proximity to the capital, it also served as a secondary cultural and economic center.
Life in the city will definitely be much easier than climbing the mountain later, and survival resources will be easier to obtain.
Feng Aoqing was thinking in his mind whether he could rob a rich man and get more things. He also had to think of some reasons to get some cash out so that he could use it after leaving Yanzhou.
I can't keep saying that I've hidden this and that every day. Mo Beiyuan is not stupid. A pair of earrings almost gave him away. If I say too much, I'm afraid he won't believe it.
As she was thinking, she fell asleep.
I hadn't slept for long when I was awakened by screams coming from the camp.
