Chapter 20: Grand Plan
"Dad, I can't walk anymore."
The little fat boy stuck out his butt and looked at Zhang Yiquan with grievance. Zhang Yiquan looked at his son's physique, looked at his own arms, and fell silent.
"Wei'er, you'd better walk by yourself. I'm afraid your mother will beat your butt again."
Last time, the little fat boy lost face in public because of his mother, and his butt was bruised. Even if she begged her grandmother, it was useless. She was persuaded by the woman that if she didn't teach him a lesson, he would dare to eat poison again in the future.
And then, nothing happened.
At first the fat boy could still lie on the donkey cart, but not long after, the donkey cart was requisitioned by the yamen runners on the pretext of something.
They wanted to stop it, but were whipped several times and their backs are still burning with pain.
Zhang Yiquan knew that Zhao Guang was deliberately looking for trouble, but he still suppressed his anger and stuffed some silver into his pocket to settle the matter.
But the only means of transportation is gone.
At first, they disliked the donkey carts, so they came to the Chen family. Now that the donkey carts are gone, they began to miss the donkey carts and the smell of the donkey carts.
"We can't let this matter go like this!" The woman said gritting her teeth. She obviously still remembered the Chen family and was upset that she didn't get any benefits from them last time.
"The Chen family has the support of the yamen runners behind them, so there is no need for us to provoke him." Zhang Yiquan always knows how to judge the situation and knows that the Chen family has a good relationship with the yamen runner named Xu Tian.
Look at it now. Zhao Guang took away their donkey carts to vent his anger. What can they do?
If they provoke the Chen family again, and Xu Tian comes to trip them up again, they may not be able to reach Nanman alive.
Most importantly, they are now in danger of losing themselves.
Only when you lose something do you know how to cherish it. Although the donkey cart smells bad, it is really tiring to walk on it, especially with shackles.
They all felt that their legs were no longer their own, and their ankles were rubbed and bloody.
This is only the first day.
If they wanted to reach Nanman, they probably wouldn't be able to do so in their lifetime because it would be too hard and tiring.
Not only them, but others also work equally hard.
Bang!
Another person fainted on the ground.
The yamen runner next to him had a blank expression on his face and didn't care at all. Instead, he picked up the whip and whipped the man.
"Get up and stop playing dead."
The people nearby quickly helped the man up and supported him away, and only then did the yamen runner stop whipping him.
Although it was the first day, several people had experienced this kind of suffering before, and the whole team was wailing for a while.
Fortunately, they finally came to an open space, where they would spend the night.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
During the break, the yamen runners distributed steamed buns, and the people were asked to find a way to get water themselves, and then they were allowed to rest on the spot.
The Chen family was also tired. They didn't walk, but sat. Riding in a carriage was tiring, so they got off and walked around.
Seeing the people around them trying their best to fill their stomachs, everyone in the Chen family looked at each other, and finally Chen Xue spoke up.
"Dad, we need to speed up our plan."
After experiencing the poisoning incident of Zhao Guang, Chen Xue proposed a plan called "Conquer".
Yes, it’s that straightforward.
Her plan was simple.
"Conquer" all the yamen runners here and make them your own people.
At that time, they won't have to worry about this or that, because they are all family.
Only then can they truly turn the road of exile into a road of tourism.
At that time, the yamen runners were all our own people, so who would bother them?
They don't have to hide what they want to eat, just eat it openly, because the yamen runners will take the blame anyway.
At that time, they rode in a carriage, ate hot pot, sang songs, and were as carefree as they could be.
This plan is very "grand" and difficult to implement.
But now the first step has been completed, Zhao Guang has done it.
There were twenty yamen runners in the exile team, which was too few compared to the hundreds of prisoners.
But since there are fewer people, it is easier for them to defeat them one by one.
Originally they wanted to solve them one by one, but after discussing it, they decided to deal with the captain of the yamen runners first.
After all, for this exile team, the captain of the yamen runners is the boss. As long as they can deal with him, wouldn't it be easier for those yamen runners?
However, they had tried it last time, but the captain of the yamen runners was very slippery and did not participate at all. He neither suppressed them nor showed goodwill.
Chen Xue deliberately asked the captain of the yamen to question her just to test his attitude towards the Chen family, and his attitude was impartial.
"Captain Shi, I haven't had much contact with him, and I don't know him well. As for catering to his interests, I haven't discovered any hobbies..."
No useful clues were obtained from Xu Tian, which made the Chen family realize how difficult the yamen runner captain was.
Some people, it's obvious, love fame, some love money, and some are old-fashioned and upright...
However, these are not related to the captain of the yamen runners, and it seems that none of these labels can be applied to him.
It would be difficult to please the captain of the yamen runners if we couldn't find out his preferences. The Chen family could only observe first.
It's getting dark.
The bailiffs also sat in the carriage to rest, and the prisoners were collecting firewood in the surrounding woods, preparing to spend the night.
Or you can collect wild fruits to eat on the road.
Some people also went to the river to fetch water.
Everyone was busy with their own affairs, but the Chen family had nothing to do. They had enough water and food.
"Let's go to the river and see if we can catch any fish!"
Chen Xue was a little impatient. To be honest, there were fish in her space, but they were all for viewing and were very expensive fish that could not be eaten.
Therefore, the only edible meat in their space is chicken, duck, goose and the like, but these are too obvious to be taken out.
So, it’s better to go fishing so as not to expose the space.
Of course, the most important thing is not whether you can eat fish, but the process of catching fish. Chen Xue enjoys the process of catching fish.
The joy of catching fish is beyond your imagination!
Chen Ziran did not refuse. Whether it was to store meat for the road or to provide nutrition for the injured servants, it was a good choice.
When we arrived at the river, it was already crowded with people.
Many prisoners were washing clothes, filling water, and many were fishing in the river.
Although it is called a river, it is actually not very big, only four or five meters wide and the water is less than one meter deep.
Chen Xue and her family did not squeeze into the crowd, but came to the river where there were fewer people.
Several servants rolled up their sleeves and started going down to the river.
Bang!
However, not long after they entered the river, they heard the sound of stones falling into the water not far away, which not only splashed the water high, but also scared away all the fish.
Chen Xue turned around and saw the Zhang family not far away, looking at them with a bad face.
"You did it on purpose!" Xiaodie was a little angry.
"This river is so big, and it doesn't belong to your Chen family. What does it have to do with me smashing the fish?" Zhang Yiquan curled his lips. When he saw that the Chen family wanted to catch fish to eat, he wanted to sabotage it.
Why can the Chen family, who are prisoners, ride in a carriage and now want to eat fish? They are simply dreaming!
"Are you Chen family too overbearing? You are allowed to go to the river to catch fish, but we are not allowed to smash the fish."
A New Year's Letter to Book Friends
2022 has passed. I wrote nearly one million words for that book last year, but it didn’t even earn a thousand. It was a complete failure. This time, the new book will not be self-satisfied. It will follow the mass market and should be considered a refreshing novel. It will definitely be more interesting and refreshing than the old book.
Regarding the story of chasing more, ahem, well, actually Xiaoyu hasn't encountered any chasing yet, and there aren't many rewards, only one or two yuan...
In addition, regarding the interaction with book friends, ahem, I am a little embarrassed to say it, because there are not many comments, which is a bit awkward.
In short, last year's book was a complete flop, and this new book will correct the previous mistakes. Putting aside other things for now, at least it will make readers feel good.
Okay, I won’t say any more.
In the new year, I wish all the cuties to become more and more beautiful, younger and richer, and achieve financial freedom.
