Chapter 61 The God of War's Family Has No Spine
Sang Ning still underestimated the fighting ability of these people.
Or it can be said that the incomparability of the two eras is ignored.
Even modern beggars do not live as hard as the people of this era.
She squeezed out of the crowd with great effort.
"Ning'er! Are you okay?"
The family asked anxiously.
Li Yuzhi pulled her aside.
Sang Ning saw Huo Jingya had come out.
With messy hair and a sad face, she said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't get anything. These people are so scary. They almost trampled me to death!"
"Did you grab it?"
“I got it!”
Fortunately, she cut in line and got to the front. The officer stuffed something into her hand, and then she was pushed away and squeezed away again.
Sang Ning stretched out his hand to see what good things everyone was fighting for.
As soon as I opened my hands, I was stunned.
A pile of shit?
Still warm.
It's sticky and sticks to the palm of your hand.
I didn't know what shape it was in the first place, but it has collapsed now.
Sang Ning's expression was visibly cracked.
The Huo family was also confused.
Suddenly, the shit in my palm disappeared.
It turned out that it was grabbed by a skinny old man, who ran a few steps and ate it in a few bites.
Everyone: “…”
"I'm sorry, I've been hungry for two days and I can't stand it anymore. I see you guys are fatter... Do you still want to eat? I'll grab some more for you."
The old man spoke in a weak voice and walked unsteadily, but he was still quite polite. They wanted to snatch the food from him again.
"No, no, thanks."
Sang Ning waved his hands quickly.
"Then, thank you very much."
The old man didn't pay much attention to them in prison uniforms, as if he was used to it.
That’s right.
Many people here are exiles or descendants of prisoners. There is no telling how many people come here every year. It’s nothing unusual.
"What the hell is this?"
Sang Ning frowned and looked at the black stuff on his hands.
"Look at the color, there are buckwheat husks inside." Du Shan said.
No way?
She only knew that buckwheat husks could be used to make pillows, but how could the hard husks be eaten?
Sanning simply tasted it.
Bitter, astringent and throat-cutting.
Sure enough, there were buckwheat husks.
It's just crushed, not that big.
In addition, elm bark is also added.
Elm bark is not just about eating the hard skin on the tree.
Instead, the old skin is removed, leaving the tender skin, which is then cooked and ground into powder, and the taste is slightly sweet.
Finally, a small amount of cornmeal and a wild vegetable called gray-gray vegetable were added.
It seems that the steaming time was not long enough, so it is still a little sticky and not formed.
But even this was snapped up.
This is even worse than the black steamed buns they eat on the road!
Is Liangzhou so poor?
You know, although life here is hard, as one of the border reserve cities, the imperial court attaches great importance to it!
Space kid! Get out of here! I want to wear it again!
Sang Ning stared unkindly at Huo Changan who was sitting on the ground.
"Ning'er..." He looked like an ignorant child, his eyes full of innocence.
"Huo Changan! Do you know space?"
His thick eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"I haven't heard the story from the storyteller."
Sanning: "..."
Then her hands were held and gently wiped with the wet clothes until her hands were clean.
The boy's face was tilted and slightly raised, and the delicate half of his face was picturesque in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"What's that?" he asked.
Sang Ning abruptly pulled his hand back, "Nothing!"
Damn it, why did she think he looked delicious just now?
How did the saying "beauty is a feast to the eyes" come about?
The whole family pretended not to see anything and looked around at the dilapidated town.
"Are you the family of Marquis Boyang?"
Two officers came over to inquire.
"Yes, we are," the old lady stepped forward and replied.
Du Shan and Tian Kaiwu also hurried forward.
"We are the officers in charge of escorting the prisoners. Shall we go to the government office to hand them over now?"
The two officers looked around and nodded, "Let's go. We received the news a long time ago. You are a little late. The Huo family from Pingyang arrived ten days earlier."
"What did you say? Pingyang Huo family!" The old lady's voice suddenly rose.
"Huo Baohong's family?"
"Yes." The two officers showed no expression.
The old lady's body went limp and she almost fell down.
The family quickly supported her.
Everyone was in a heavy mood.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't be involved? Why, why…"
Huo Baohong is Huo Zhennan's biological brother.
One was granted a title of nobility in the capital, and the other was doing business in Pingyang.
It's just that the relationship between the two brothers is rather cold. Apart from sending gifts during festivals, they don't interact much.
But this serious crime of confiscating property and exterminating the clan finally implicated them.
Calculating the time, they were exiled almost at the same time as they were in the capital.
My second brother and his wife are proud and arrogant, and the whole family is on the road...
The old lady didn't dare to think about it.
"Mom, let's go to the government office first."
"Yes, mother, let's settle down first."
After all, we are already here, so there is no point in thinking about anything else.
They went to the yamen, but the county magistrate was not there. The chief clerk took on multiple duties, recording the household registration of the Huo family and planning their move to Liangzhou.
Yun Shuixian's household registration was destroyed on the spot, and this person no longer existed in the world.
Then someone will take them to where they live.
Du Shan and Tian Kaiwu took over the task smoothly and also relieved themselves of a task.
There were four of them when they came, and only two were left when they left.
The road ahead is difficult and the future is uncertain, which is really worrying.
Along the way, I encountered danger several times and faced many crises. I have become less concerned about some things.
The two of them calculated that they had looted more than 200 taels of silver from the Huo family on this trip.
We have been friends through thick and thin together, so I should give some back.
They called out to Sang Ning.
"Fourth Madam, please take this silver. It may be useful in the future. We two brothers are leaving now."
Fifty taels of silver, so generous?
Sang Ning had doubts in his heart, but he quickly put his thoughts aside.
"Thank you very much. Next time you bring a prisoner here, I'll treat you to a meal."
Just polite talk.
"No, no, no, I won't be coming for a while!"
Du Shan and Tian Kaiwu were frightened.
It was a miracle that they made it here safely this time, but next time... forget it! They wouldn't be competing for this job for the next few years.
"Fourth Madam, it's like this. You are smart. Can you give us two brothers some advice on how we can return to the capital safely?" Du Shan finally stated his purpose.
Sang Ning was relieved.
So that's what it means.
"That's not a problem. Go change your clothes. Did you see the old man who just stole my food? He has nice clothes.
It would be safest to starve yourself thin, chew tree bark on the way back, and pretend to be a half-dead refugee.
When you get to the capital, you can still cry to your superiors. Even if you haven't made any contributions, you have worked hard."
Good idea!
Du Shan and Tian Kaiwu immediately smiled happily.
"Thank you, Madam Four."
The two of them went to dress up.
At the corner of the yamen, two thin, dark men in half-worn official uniforms watched the whole scene with frowns on their brows.
I couldn't hear what they said, I just saw them giving money and smiling.
"I never thought that the family of the mighty God of War would be like this..."
"Forget about the Pingyang family. This is my legitimate daughter-in-law. How do in-laws choose their daughter-in-law?"
"Quan Te's mother is spineless!"
"Hmph! You make the arrangements. I'm going to go see the spring!"
One of the men said this angrily, then walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
In recent days, the spring that has never dried up for hundreds of years has stopped producing water, and he is very annoyed!
The lives of all the people in the city cannot be delayed!
