Chapter 79 Qi Nanfeng was overjoyed!
Not far ahead is the only group of houses within a radius of ten miles, Longchang Post Station.
After nearly four months of arduous journey, they finally arrived at their destination - Wuheng.
But today they are just going to Longchang Post Station for the handover. Maybe tonight, or maybe tomorrow, someone will take them to Wuhengtu City, which is where they will eventually stay.
Most of the prisoners exiled to Wuheng were taken to the foot of the ancient city to serve as slaves to the armored soldiers. Every day they either built city walls or reclaimed wasteland, or were temporarily assigned to post stations, official farms, etc. to do odd jobs.
The daily tasks are heavy and difficult, and the food is very limited. It is not easy for people to be exiled here and survive.
Longchang Post Station is different from other post stations. There are several straw huts behind the post station. These are the residences of some people who were exiled before and settled here.
However, no indigenous people were seen.
Ruan Qingsong told Ruan Mian that the indigenous people of Wuheng were a tribal group that made a living by hunting and lived in Longchang Mountain all year round. It would be better for those who were exiled here to avoid dealing with those indigenous people as much as possible.
Looking at the icy and snowy world ahead, there was no other life in the vast world except the post station. Large smoke cannons were rolling on the snowy plain. The wind and snow blurred the eyes and made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
They had only heard of the bitter cold and hardship of Wu Heng, but had never seen the desolation here with their own eyes.
Not even a single indigenous person could be seen.
Even though the scenery here was magnificent, grand and charming, it could not defeat the desolation in their hearts. Before they even reached the entrance of the post station, the wailing and crying in the team had already begun.
In such an environment, even Ruan Mian, who was usually calm, frowned.
This start seems to be more difficult than I imagined. It can be said that I have nothing here.
But looking at it from another angle, it is precisely because she has nothing that she has enough room to play.
At least she is not alone, her left and right arms are there, and the entire Ruan family is also complete. They have hands and feet, and she still has so much space. Even if she builds a city here, it will not be difficult!
To be honest, if one puts aside those difficulties and looks at the current situation, Ruan Mian feels as if he has come to an unreal paradise.
The snow is flying everywhere, and the white all over the world makes this place pure and flawless, as if it has not been polluted by anything in the world, and there is only tranquility and purity.
When they arrived at the post station, the falling snow had stopped. The setting sun was hanging on the horizon near dusk, and the golden sunlight shone obliquely, dyeing the whole world with a layer of warm gold.
The snowflakes sparkled in the sunset, like millions of diamonds scattered on the earth, shining brightly.
Golden light covers the snow-capped mountains, and these rays of light embellish the cold world into a colorful picture.
There were several servants on duty standing at the entrance of the post station, who led them into the interior of the post station.
When the officials were handing over the task, they were staying in the backyard. Soon they saw several officials carrying a freshly hunted deer into the yard.
They cut with their knives and in a short while, the huge deer was cut into pieces.
The venison was still warm, and every time a cut was made, hot steam came out, condensing into gas in the cold air and slowly growing.
The officers were used to eating wild food, so they had already lit a fire, put the cut venison on their spears, and threw it roughly onto the fire to roast.
As soon as it is cooked, they tear the meat and eat it greedily.
Although it was simple and crude, it still made them drool and envy.
Especially the Bo family and the Qi family, who had not eaten any meat along the way. The saliva of the two families was almost frozen at the corners of their mouths. They looked at the venison with eager eyes and swallowed it.
The most common thing they ate was dry and not filling wheat cakes. The Ruan family was better off, as they had Ruan Mian to take care of them. They could occasionally eat bacon and some fresh rabbit meat, as well as both meat and vegetable staples.
But they had never tried venison.
Ruan Mian thought for a moment and was about to speak when an officer came up to them with a piece of cooked meat and said with a smile, with a bit of boasting and teasing in his heart.
"Want to eat?"
"You will be taken to Tucheng tomorrow. You are pitiful. Today I will show mercy and reward you."
When they heard it was a reward, their eyes widened!
But the officer suddenly changed the subject: "Bring silver to buy it."
When they heard that they still had to buy it, their faces instantly fell.
However, people like Liu still couldn't resist the temptation of meat. She swallowed her saliva, turned her back to the crowd, took out a few treasured copper coins and a piece of silver from her pocket, and took small steps to exchange them for meat.
As a result, Qi Nanfeng snatched it away halfway!
"Mother, do you still have money?"
Mrs. Liu quickly spoke up, "This is the last bit of money Mother has left. Nanfeng, we haven't had meat in a long time. Let's have a good meal today!"
As she said this, she was about to reach out to take the silver, but Qi Nanfeng held her hand and said with a twist of his mouth.
"Mom, I'll go buy it. You wait here."
Thinking of the wild boar meat last time, Liu didn't dare to trust her son easily, but before she could refuse, Qi Nanfeng strode up to the official with the silver coins.
However, it was not venison he bought.
Over the past few days, Qi Nanfeng felt more and more that something was wrong with his body. No matter how he struggled, something in his body seemed to have lost its response.
You know, what he was most proud of before was his abilities. He was young, promising and strong. That was why he was able to capture the heart of the princess when he went south with his uncle.
He also placed his hopes on himself, thinking that one day he would be able to please the princess and get out of this predicament!
But if he loses his most proud skills, how will he escape from this hellhole in the future?
Wouldn’t I die here in humiliation?
So no matter what method he used, he would give it a try.
The deer penis is said to be miraculous in books. After going south with my uncle, I occasionally eat it as a tonic.
Now that we have fresh ones, wouldn’t they be more effective?
So he no longer hesitated and immediately walked up to the officer and asked for the deer whip.
The officers smiled at each other, cut it off with their knives, but laughed out loud at the few pitiful copper coins in Qi Nanfeng's hand.
"You don't think you can buy such a good part with just this little money?"
Qi Nanfeng seemed to be prepared. He grabbed the maid Xiaohuan behind him and pushed her in front of the official!
"My maid has arrived!"
Xiaohuan is Qi Nanfeng's concubine and has been raised in the Qi Mansion since childhood.
They had been obedient to him and Liu's mother and son and had been cautious throughout the journey, but who would have thought that at the last moment they would be handed over to the group of officials like commodities!
"Master, Master, please don't do that!" Xiaohuan cried and begged, but Qi Nanfeng kicked her away and stared at the deer whip in the officer's hand without moving.
Seeing that Xiaohuan was young and beautiful, those people threw the deer whip in front of Qi Nanfeng.
Qi Nanfeng was overjoyed!
