Chapter 155: The Qin Family’s Desire to Make Trouble Is Not Dead
After everyone was bandaged, everyone was still a little shocked.
Chen Wu and Yuan Xun called out the names on the roster. This time, seven prisoners and one official were killed. They couldn't help but feel sad.
He crossed out the names of the dead from the list, then had people dig pits and buried those people on the spot, and then ordered everyone to set off again.
Just as they were about to set off, they saw the criminals who had been caught by Qu Wan'er and Lian Feng before and had their hands and feet tied with ropes.
If we ignore it, this horrible weather will probably freeze people to death overnight.
Chen Wu was a little hesitant about whether to let them go.
If they are truly unforgivable villains, letting them go will harm other innocent people.
At this time, one of the gangsters begged for mercy, "Sir, please let us go. We stole the girl's purse, and she chased us for three days. We haven't done anything else that would harm the world. If you lie, I will punish you with lightning!"
After hearing this, everyone inexplicably felt that the criminal was telling the truth.
If it was the woman who caused the avalanche and killed people but still refused to admit her fault, it is possible that she would have chased them for three days for the money bag.
Chen Wu finally let them go. He always felt that the woman was unreliable and could not be trusted completely.
Moreover, many people have died because of that woman, and he doesn't want any more people to die.
The prisoners whose family members had died cried their hearts out, but there was nothing they could do.
Surviving near-death experiences on the road to exile was commonplace. Even the most heartbroken of them could only watch helplessly as their loved ones, who had been perfectly healthy just a moment before, were now buried in the wilderness, where they didn't even know where they were. From now on, they wouldn't even know where their graves were, even if they burned paper money for them...
When people died, they were buried on the spot. But when horses and mules died, they were taken away and could be sold for money.
Yuan Xu walked leading the little red horse, while the two horses and the mule were pulled or dragged by a mule cart.
Xiao Yunshuo's carriage had been crushed by the avalanche, so Chen Fenghe suggested that Xiao Yunshuo ride in her cart.
The officers were grateful to Xiao Yunshuo for saving so many people, so they agreed without saying anything.
However, the cart was too small, so Zhang Zhou and Tian moved to the officials' carts.
Xiao Yunshuo did not refuse and came over and sat on the cart.
Qin Mengyue looked at the pale face of her own son, whom she could not recognize but was so distressed that she wiped away her tears.
However, she still controlled herself and tried her best to act polite and distant.
In order to avoid being seen, Xiao Yunshuo naturally wore a disguise mask of "smallpox". Therefore, Shen Yichuan and the other three little guys hid in the arms of Shen Fenghe and Qin Mengyue, looking at Xiao Yunshuo timidly, so scared that they dared not breathe, let alone play and chatter like before.
Without the noise of children, and because many people died in the avalanche, the atmosphere in the exile team was a little depressed. Fortunately, by noon, everyone arrived at a relatively prosperous market town.
This town is located near the northern boundary of Hedong Prefecture where Qizhou City is located. It is only separated from Hejian Prefecture by a river. Many merchants and travelers from other prefectures and states in the north pass through here, and over time, it has become prosperous.
The streets were bustling with people, the snow on the bluestone ground had been trampled into dirty black water, and the air was filled with the cries of street vendors or the bargaining between buyers and sellers.
Hearing such lively sounds, everyone's mood improved a lot.
Qin Mengyue saw someone selling old hens on the street, so she hurriedly got off the car and bought a fresh and plump one for seventy cents.
When Shen Yichuan, Xiao Yunhao and the others saw the old hen, they even temporarily put aside their fear of Xiao Yunshuo.
The three little guys surrounded the small bamboo cage made of bamboo strips, smiling from ear to ear with joy.
"Aunt, are we going to kill this old hen and eat it tonight? I want to eat roast chicken!" Shen Yichuan said, unable to help but drooling.
Qin Mengyue smiled and said, "Yichuan, do you want to eat roast chicken? How about I make it for you tomorrow? We can make chicken soup with the old hen tonight."
After hearing this, Shen Yichuan did not feel depressed, and said happily: "Chicken soup is good! Yichuan also likes to drink chicken soup! Aunt, Qingxing and I will also help to light the fire in the evening!"
Qin Mengyue touched their hair and said with a smile: "You are all good children."
Since they still had to travel in the afternoon, everyone naturally had lunch at a restaurant in the town.
Chen Wu chose a noodle shop. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. A bowl of臊子面 (臊子面) cost only seven coins. However, if he wanted to add a plate of boiled mutton or something, he would have to pay extra.
Chen Fenghe naturally had the money, so she ordered a bowl of臊子面 for each person. The臊子 was pork fried with day lily, and was also topped with shredded yellow and tender fried egg skin. She also ordered a plate of boiled mutton and a few sesame cakes. The whole family gathered around and ate with great enthusiasm.
Everyone else ordered basic臊子面, but when they saw the mutton and sesame cakes on Chen Fenghe's family's table, they were so envious that they almost drooled.
However, just when they were feeling a little unbalanced, wondering why her family lived so well when they were all exiled, they suddenly remembered the heroic figure of Chen Fenghe taking the officials' bows and arrows and shooting a wild wolf with one arrow.
The imbalance in their hearts disappeared immediately.
People have money to buy mutton, isn't it because they risked their lives to kill many wolves and sold the wolf meat and wolf skins for money?
They want to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, not to mention wolves, you can catch a wild boar or a rabbit, don’t you have the ability?!
Moreover, most of them are penniless now. The reason they can stay in the hotel and eat臊子面 in the noodle shop is because Madam Shen sold the wolf and the officials also got the money. Chen Wu is not the kind of official who treats prisoners harshly, so they just benefit from it, right?
After thinking about these things, most people stopped complaining, but people's hearts are different. Some people understand things, while others are narrow-minded and can't understand. For example, the Qin family felt more uncomfortable watching Chen Fenghe and Qin Mengyue eating meat than letting them starve.
Opposite the noodle shop is a Hongxiuzhao restaurant, where many prostitutes sit on the second floor facing the street.
Qin Jinzhong ate noodles and glanced at Qin Mengyue and Shen Fenghe with a gloomy expression.
I don't know where these two bitches hid the letter of separation.
After getting them back, I sold them and the three little ones and got dozens of taels of silver.
Moreover, if they act quickly and sell the wolves sooner, there might still be a lot of money left from selling them, which would naturally fall into his hands!
Otherwise, seeing the extravagant life of these two spendthrift women, all the gold and silver would be squandered by them sooner or later!
Qin Jinzhong was so distressed when he thought about how "his" money was gone like water that he couldn't even eat.
