Chapter 118: Making a Snowman
Xu Tian spoke to them in a gentle tone, but they didn't listen and didn't agree. When he got angry, these people began to reflect and even begged him.
Seeing this situation, Xu Tian felt complicated and even thought of a word Chen Xue had said before - cheap!
Although he was angry, Xu Tian would not joke about human life, so he came back and took the yamen runners to register all the people who paid the money.
More refund, less supplement.
Xu Tian clearly told them that he would return the extra money to them, but some people were very smart. Not only did they say they didn't want a refund, they even asked for money and asked Xu Tian to buy more food for them.
The others were reluctant to pay at first, but after hearing this, they also paid money and asked Xu Tian to buy clothes and food for them.
This is a rare opportunity!
If you miss this village, you won’t be able to find this store next time.
Therefore, as long as people had some money, they would take out the money and ask Xu Tian to buy something for them.
Seeing these people taking out money without hesitation, it is obvious that they are not short of money, but they just kept saying that they had no money.
Xu Tian sighed. It turned out that it was because he was too kind that they thought he was easy to bully.
This further strengthened his idea of changing his character. As Lord Chen said, it is a good thing that he has a kind heart, but there must be a limit to kindness.
Being too kind is not kindness, it is weakness.
Moreover, if he wants to protect these people and manage the team well, he must become strong.
Shaking his head to get rid of these thoughts, he asked everyone to register the prisoners' needs and money, and then sent someone to the county town.
Because there were too many things, two yamen runners were not enough, so more yamen runners had to be sent. Fortunately, the number of yamen runners this time was several times more than before.
And there is no need to worry that if they lose some yamen runners, the prisoners will rebel or escape.
After all, the weather is so cold now, and they can't run far without clothes and food.
Moreover, Lord Chen is in charge, and he has several battlefield-experienced guards around him who can definitely suppress the situation.
So Xu Tian left with peace of mind.
…………
After Xu Tian left, he asked Lord Chen to manage the team, but Lord Chen had no time or leisure, so he asked Zhao Guang to take charge.
Everyone knew Zhao Guang's character, so they didn't dare to do anything rash. Moreover, the weather was cold, so they could only gather together to warm themselves by the fire and would not run around.

"Mom, come and see the snow. You won't see snow in the south anymore."
Chen Xue got off the carriage and came to the snow. At this time, Chen Xue was wearing a green cotton jacket. She stepped on the snow and just breathed.
Chen's mother, Xiaodie, Xiaohua, and the new little girl also followed.
"Haven't you watched it since you were a child? How come you're not tired of it yet?" Mother Chen couldn't help but say as she watched her daughter jumping around.
Chen Xue opened her mouth and said that was her previous life. In her previous life, she was from the south and had rarely seen snow.
This is the first time I have seen snow from another world since I came to this world, and everyone is different.
"Come on, let's build a snowman!"
Chen Xue waved to Xiaodie and others. Xiaodie immediately ran over to help, and Xiaohua hesitated for a moment and then went over as well.
Only the little girl was still standing there.
Mother Chen patted her shoulder and smiled at her, "Go!"
"But..." The little girl frowned, obviously tempted, but also seemed a little worried.
"But aren't we exiled now?" The little girl was obviously worried that the yamen runners would come after them if they had so much fun.
After all, this is exile, not tourism.
"Go ahead and have fun!"
Mother Chen smiled and gave her a comforting look.
On the other side, Chen Xue saw that the little girl was indifferent, so she quickly ran over and pulled her over.
"fine."
"Let's build a snowman together!"
With that, Chen Xue started working. The little girl had never made a snowman before, so she was naturally very curious and put her worries behind her.
The four of them divided the work and worked together and quickly built a snowman.
Chen Xue found some branches to serve as the snowman's arms, and took out a carrot from the space to serve as the nose.
Finally, he took out a basin and put it on the snowman's head.
"Come on, let's take a picture together."
Chen Xue took out the camera again and pulled Xiaodie and others to stand next to the snowman. Xiaodie and others didn't know what taking pictures meant, but they still followed Chen Xue's actions obediently.
"Shout Eggplant together!"
The little girl was confused. Why was she calling him Eggplant? Was it the snowman's name?
Then, a photo of a confused face with three smiling faces next to it appeared.
Then, Chen Xue pulled her mother to take pictures.
Chen's mother already knew what taking photos was, so she naturally started posing along with Chen Xue.
Finally, we also took a family photo with Mr. Chen.
I guess no one else has ever taken a family photo on the road of exile.
Chen Xue didn't care about that. After taking the photos, she took Xiaodie and the others to play snowballs together.
Xiaodie and the others didn't dare to throw Chen Xue at first, but later when they got too excited, they started to attack Chen Xue together.
The little girl was very scared at first, but she almost went crazy playing later.
"How is it? Is it fun? Are you happy?"
Chen Xue touched the little girl's head, looked at her blushing face, and couldn't help asking, "It's fun, happy."
The little girl was really happy in her heart. She had been worried since the day of her exile.
Although she was still young and didn't understand many things, she knew what exile was. She had also experienced riots and seen bandits killing people, so she was always afraid in her heart.
So, she hasn't been as happy as before for a long time.
Today, she felt like she was back in her childhood.
She also didn't expect that the exile would be different from what she had imagined. No, or rather, the Chen family's exile was completely different from theirs.
If they were exiled, then the Chen family was here for tourism, just like when she went on spring outings with her parents before.
"If you're tired from playing, come up and warm yourself by the fire. Don't get frozen."
Lord Chen was in the carriage, waving at Chen Xue.
"We have hot tea and ginger soup. Take a look and see what you want to drink!"
In the carriage, Lord Chen had already prepared tea, boiled ginger soup, and even put eggs in the ginger soup.
Speaking of eggs, the chickens in the space have been laying eggs every day, so Chen Xue can eat fresh eggs every day.
After the little girl got on the carriage, she felt the warmth inside and the coldness in her heart was immediately dispelled.
Lord Chen handed her a bowl of ginger soup with an egg still sloshing inside.
The little girl was about to refuse when Chen Xue next to her interrupted, "Eat it with confidence, there's something for everyone."
As she spoke, she put down her bowl, and Xiaodie and the others also put down their bowls to let the little girl see.
Sure enough, there was an egg in everyone's bowl.
The little girl pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke. Her crisp voice rang out in the carriage.
"I, I want to save the eggs for my parents. They haven't eaten eggs for a long time."
Everyone was silent. They felt a little distressed, but also moved by the little girl's filial piety.
Mother Chen patted her head and said, "Eat it with confidence. Your parents have some too."
