Chapter 126: Spending the Night in the Snow
In the end, Lord Chen finally stopped. After all, it was not a long downhill slope, so he would stop after a long time.
"Let you show off!"
Mother Chen glared at him. Although her face was full of anger, her hands were helping him brush off the snow on his body.
Lord Chen smiled awkwardly. He was just excited for a moment. After all, the feeling of flying on the snow was so cool.
"Mom, do you want to try it?"
"Forget it!"
Mother Chen quickly waved her hands. When she saw Mr. Chen's look, she lost interest. It was really scary.
Xiaodie is as timid as Butterfly and doesn't dare to try it.
Chen Xue stopped trying to persuade them. As everyone didn't want to play anymore, they just followed the team. As soon as they returned to the team, Xu Tian came to them.
"Master Chen, just now..."
"No, it's not me, you're seeing things!"
Lord Chen felt extremely embarrassed when he thought about what had just happened. How could he admit it? He denied it three times in a row.
Xu Tian was stunned. He didn't expect to get such an answer. Then he thought, Lord Chen must want to keep a low profile, so he denied it. That must be the case.
Then he changed the subject, "Master Chen, I want to ask about the carriage..."
"You want to ask how to make a carriage and sled!" Chen Xue interrupted.
"right!"
Xu Tian nodded, "I always feel like what we're doing isn't good enough..."
"Alright, I'll get someone to guide you!"
Xu Tian took the Chen family servants away to build a carriage and sled, while Chen Xue returned to the space and continued making cakes.
It’s a pity that there is no milk.
Mr. Chen was farming, and his mother went to help. Chen Xue was making cakes with Xiaodie.
Considering that there was no milk, Chen Xue finally spent ten contribution points and asked the system to exchange it for a bottle of pure milk.
It's not a small bottle, but a big bottle, like the one you get with Sprite orange juice.
“Separate the egg whites first!”
Chen Xue was making it and Xiaodie was learning beside her, but there was no egg beater to beat the egg whites, so she and Xiaodie had to take turns.
"Flour, sugar, milk..."
"Our conditions are limited, so we can only add these things..."
"Oh, I have some milk. I'll make you another cup of milk tea!"
…………
While Chen Xue was preparing for Xiaodie's birthday, Xu Tian and others were having a headache.
Because the snow was getting heavier, even though the carriage was loaded onto the sled, they still had to spend the night in the snow in the wilderness.
Spending the night on the snow is incredible.
I'm afraid that when they wake up, most people will be frozen to death.
So when Xu Tian thought of this, he got a headache. He asked everyone to light a fire, but where could they find dry branches and leaves in the snow?
And where does the fire rise?
If a fire starts in the snow, the ground will probably melt and the fire will be extinguished.
So Xu Tian was very troubled. He felt that he was not suitable to be the captain at all and he didn't know anything. In this situation, he couldn't think of any solution.
"what to do?"
"Where are we staying tonight?"
"That's right, it's so cold, we can't possibly sleep in the snow!"
Everyone was talking at once, obviously very dissatisfied.
"I told you to walk faster during the day, but you were so slow. Who can you blame now?" Zhao Guang scolded.
Knowing Xu Tian's character, which would be difficult to change in a short period of time, and Zhao Guang's initiative to surrender, Lord Chen proposed to make Zhao Guang his deputy.
In this way, Xu Tian can play the good guy and let Zhao Guang play the bad guy.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Guang's scolding, everyone dared to be angry but not to speak out, because Zhao Guang was not a good guy like Xu Tian. If you made him angry, he would really whip you.
“How far is it from here to the next station?”
Xu Tian turned to look at the others, and the person next to him quickly replied, "I'm afraid it will take a few more days to travel."
Xu Tian sighed when he heard this, although he knew that asking others would only result in a negative answer.
"Can our carriages, even after unloading the supplies, accommodate so many people?"
"Impossible, Captain. We only have a few carriages, and the prisoners are dozens of times more numerous than the carriages..."
"Then let the old and young women get on the carriage. The others are all grown men, so it's okay if we squeeze together at night."
"But……"
"There's no buts." Xu Tian interrupted, "It's decided."
Xu Tian’s strength stunned his subordinates and they had to do as he asked.
Although he had taken care of everyone as much as possible, some people were still dissatisfied because they had no wives or daughters and were alone.
"Why? Are you planning to sacrifice us?" Li Ming hid in the crowd and shouted at the yamen runners.
"How many of them deserve to die? Why can they get on the carriage while innocent people like us are left to freeze to death?"
"That's right, that's right!"
“Bang!”
Zhao Guang waved his whip and walked over with a cold face, "You are not convinced, right?"
Many prisoners suddenly became frightened.
"So what?" Li Ming hid in the crowd again and shouted, "If you have the guts, beat us all to death. Otherwise, we won't surrender."
“That’s enough!”
Xu Tian finally couldn't help but rushed out, looking at everyone with a gloomy face, "You just asked me why, right?"
"Just because I'm the captain of the yamen runners, I have the final say. I say only the elderly, children and women can ride in the carriage, and only they can get on it. If anyone disagrees, stand up!"
Seeing Xu Tian taking out the knife, holding it in his hand, and looking angry, no one dared to offend him, even the legendary good guy.
"Stop talking?" Xu Tian didn't stop. He looked up and glanced at everyone. Then he raised his knife and pointed at Li Ming, one of the prisoners. "Bring him out to me!"
He had seen Li Ming fanning the flames several times before, but he ignored it. This time, he finally couldn't help it.
The yamen runners rushed over and brought Li Ming out.
"Let me go, what do you want to do!"
Li Ming suddenly panicked and roared. Seeing that the bailiffs were indifferent, he shouted at the prisoners.
"Come and help me! I'll tell you the truth. They actually want to arrest me. If they arrest me this time, it will be your turn next time!"
However, no one dared to step forward and they all lowered their heads, pretending not to see anything.
"Slap!"
Xu Tian said his punishment with a cold face, then turned and left, "Zhao Guang, I hand him over to you, you should know how to deal with it!"
Obviously, Xu Tian still couldn't make up his mind, so he could only let Zhao Guang do it.
Zhao Guang naturally did not refuse. The more he did, the more likely he would make Lord Chen happy, win his favor, and truly serve under Lord Chen.
Night fell quickly and the temperature dropped rapidly. Everyone standing in the snow was shivering with cold.
"Oh no, something happened!"
Just then, someone exclaimed, obviously something big had happened.
