The men escorting the exiles were all strong and sturdy, and they often came and went on this road.
Climbing a small hill is easy.
"Hurry up! If anyone dawdles, the little official will use the whip in his hand to punish him!"
The officers drove the exile team up the hill.
Shen Zhaozhao frowned, looking at the yellow mud path that twisted and turned upward in front of him.
If it were her in the past, she would have gone there even if there was no way.
But now, she started to pant after just walking a few steps up the slope.
Shen Zhaozhao wiped his face.
This body needs to be in good condition, I need to settle down and arrange some exercise.
"Give."
A wooden stick was handed to Chen Zhaozhao.
She turned around.
It was Zhan Nanxing. He was being carried. He pushed aside the banana leaves that were blocking his face. He didn't care that the raindrops were falling on his face, and handed her a crutch.
The dark eyes looked at her with a complicated look.
However, Shen Zhaozhao couldn't understand it and had no time to read it.
She was so weak that she could hardly breathe.
"Thank you very much."
Shen Zhaozhao raised her hand to take the wooden stick, holding the banana leaf in one hand and pounding the stick into the ground with the other. Her pair of embroidered shoes had long been soaked in mud and water.
Not only her, others were also complaining.
We usually live a life of luxury, but when have we ever climbed a mountain in the rain?
"When we get to the top of the mountain, we can't."
A female voice complained.
Shen Zhaozhao looked over and saw a girl with a mask on.
Climbing the hillside, each family walked in a mixed group, with those at the faster end walking in front and the elderly, the weak, women and children walking behind.
Just as Shen Zhaozhao was about to turn around and go her own way, she saw the girl slip and fall to the side.
On the other side of the mountain path is a cliff.
Shen Zhaozhao was right behind her and quickly stretched out the wooden stick in his hand to stop her.
"Ah! Help!"
The girl was still in shock, half of her body had already slid down the cliff, and she kept screaming.
Fortunately, she raised her hand reflexively and caught the wooden stick that Chen Zhaozhao stretched out.
Shen Zhaozhao held the stick in one hand and reached out with the other hand, tightly grabbing her collar and holding the girl like a chicken.
She herself was also slid towards the edge of the cliff.
"Go and help."
Zhan Nanxing was right behind Shen Zhaozhao. He ignored the injury on his leg, forced himself to sit up, and urged the two servants to come over.
Zhan Ping Huang Ye put down the stretcher and came over to help. Together with Chen Zhaozhao, it took a lot of effort to rescue the girl.
As soon as the person was pulled up, he collapsed on the ground crying in fear.
"Bud!"
Cao Quanye, the head of the Cao family, was walking in front. When he heard the noise, he looked back. This time, he saw his daughter in a thrilling scene.
Fortunately, the people were rescued.
He rushed over and checked him up and down. Cao Ya had just rolled around in the mud and had some bruises on his body.
The problem is not big.
Cao Quanye put it down and looked at his aggrieved daughter, but couldn't bear to blame her.
When he looked up, he saw Chen Zhaozhao and Zhan Nanxing. The words of thanks circled in his mouth but he didn't say them out loud.
The Zhan family caused the Cao family to be confiscated and exiled. They knew it was going to rain, but they just kept picking banana leaves and didn't even remind them.
"You're welcome."
Shen Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows and came over lightly.
Cao Quanye's old face turned red, and he pulled the crying Cao Ya away.
The man walked out, and Shen Zhaozhao looked over.
Just then she saw Cao Ya being dragged forward by his father, and he turned his head to look at her.
He was lip-syncing.
Thank you!
Shen Zhaozhao curled the corner of his mouth. The girl from the Cao family was more sensible than her father.
"Cao Ya is the eldest daughter of the deceased Madam of the Cao family."
Zhan Nanxing had been lifted up again by two servants, his eyes fixed on Shen Zhaozhao.
Because of saving people, she was also covered in mud.
"Did you hurt yourself?"
Zhan Nanxing asked casually, and felt that the relationship between the two of them did not seem to be related.
Silently pull up the banana leaves to cover your face.
Shen Zhaozhao was not blind, he could see that he was uncomfortable and chuckled.
Little man, quite innocent.
"It's okay, just a little scrape on my hand."
Shen Zhaozhao picked up the banana leaf stick on the ground and continued to climb to the top of the mountain.
The yellow mud on the hillside was wet from the rain and was slippery and sticky to shoes.
At this moment, Shen Zhaozhao missed the waterproof hiking shoes in his previous life very much. Whether it is waterproof or not is secondary. The key is to prevent slipping!
Shen Zhaozhao carefully paid attention to his steps, stepping firmly with each step.
She followed the people in front of her and turned a corner. The top of the mountain was right in front of her. She just had to climb a steeper yellow mud slope.
Shen Zhaozhao turned around and told Zhan Ping and Huang Ye: "Get to the top of the mountain quickly. The road ahead is steeper. You have to carry it..."
Just as he finished writing the word "뀞", someone pushed him on the waist.
Shen Zhaozhao was originally trying hard to maintain his balance on the slope, but he was unexpectedly pushed to the edge of the cliff, his feet slipped, and he lost his balance.
Seeing that he was about to follow in Cao Ya's footsteps, Shen Zhaozhao used his clever strength to spin his body and landed himself back on the yellow mud slope.
Although her life was saved, she was badly injured by the fall.
Her arm hit her body and it hurt so much that she almost cried.
"Third Madam!"
"Zhao Zhao!"
The two servants following behind her called her in unison. Huang Ye put Zhan Nanxing down again and came over to help Shen Zhaozhao up.
"Are you okay?" Zhan Nanxing lifted the banana leaves covering himself and let the raindrops fall on his head and face, looking very bad.
"It's okay," Shen Zhaozhao was not a delicate lady. She moved her arm to confirm that it was not broken, then squinted her eyes and looked at the person who pushed her.
He was a young man, and even his linen clothes could not hide the drunken and lustful look on his face.
Although he was young, he had a pair of eye bags that extended to his chin.
It was obvious that he was a good-for-nothing before he was exiled.
Zhan Nanxing also noticed this man and recognized him.
The youngest son of the Cao family and the youngest brother of Cao Quanye.
A gleam of fierceness flashed across her peach blossom eyes, "Cao Mingye, are you pushing Madam 놅놖?"
The young man smiled maliciously at Zhan Nanxing, grinning, "So what if I pushed you? You're disabled, can you still get up and fight?"
Zhan Nanxing clenched his hands instantly.
Cao Mingye licked his lips, his lustful eyes swept towards Shen Zhaozhao, lingering on her face.
"What a shame. What a shame."
"What a waste of your good looks, you are a cripple."
Zhan Nanxing couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear others saying that he was disabled, but he couldn't bear to let Shen Zhaozhao be ridiculed and wronged like this because of his disability.
"asshole!"
Zhan Nanxing's eyes were bloodshot and he was struggling to get down to the ground.
"Look, a cripple is trying to walk! Hahaha..." Cao Mingye laughed and called people over to see.
He laughed too loudly and didn't attract many onlookers. Everyone was busy hurrying along, trying not to slip, but instead attracted the officers.
"What are you dawdling for!" The officer glanced at Zhan Nanxing and Cao Mingye unkindly.
"Sir," Cao Mingye grinned, raised his hand and pointed at Shen Zhaozhao, "The woman from the Zhan family slipped and fell, she won't leave, and Zhan Nanxing won't leave either. We want to leave but we are blocked by them and can't get through!"
The officer turned to look at Shen Zhaozhao, and without waiting for her to explain, he raised the whip in his hand and lashed at her.
