"It is imperative that we leave as soon as possible, the farther away the better."
Ye Ranqing was very calm. "Looking at the weather, a rainstorm will come soon. The next few dozen miles are uphill. The road is slippery and very difficult to walk. In addition, the male prisoners are all wearing shackles and dragging iron chains. By dark, we can't walk more than 50 miles."
Madam Su nodded, "If it rains heavily soon, the officials may also seek shelter from the rain and not leave."
[Don't leave? This is the epicenter. If you don't leave, we'll all be doomed.]
Sumibao waved her hands wildly, [Family, if this doesn't work, I'll take you to my space and teleport you away, okay?]
"no."
Su Zhenbei immediately rejected Su Mibao's proposal.
In broad daylight, the Su family suddenly disappeared.
No matter how terrible the earth dragon turns over, it is impossible for all these hundreds of prisoners to die. Those who stay behind will definitely spread the strange story of the Su family's disappearance.
Su Zhenbei didn't even dare to think about what would happen next. How would the Su family live in the future?
Am I going to live in anonymity forever?
What about the revenge of their Su family? Wouldn't it be impossible to redress the injustice forever? "No, we Su family members can't leave alone."
Old Madam Su also objected.
"We are a family of loyal warriors in the Su family. We cannot let our descendants live with the name of traitors, and we cannot let those who died bear a stigma."
Su Mibao's face fell. She also knew that it would not work to take the Su family alone. Didn't he just say it when he was anxious? [Then you guys think of a way? Since you don't want to give up these people, you have to find a way to take them with you. But we are just prisoners. If we ask the officials to hurry up, will they listen to us? ]
"I'll figure out a way to do this. Little sister, please prepare some more things for your family. We'll be traveling in the heavy rain soon, and the roads will be slippery."
Okay, let me think about it.
Since the eldest brother said so, he would find a way to persuade the officers to drive the prisoners away and speed up their journey.
Then she went to prepare things.
This is not a problem for her.
Su Mibao thought about it and immediately took out a lot of disposable plastic gowns from her office. These plastic gowns, which are used to cover the outside of surgical procedures, are thin and transparent.
Song Jinhe quickly asked everyone to take turns to go into the carriage and put on plastic smocks. The plastic smocks were worn directly over the inner clothes, and then covered with prison clothes. This way, outsiders could not see.
Uncle Song had prepared quite a few straw raincoats and hats for me today. I put them on and let my hair down so that the hood of the plastic coverall could not be seen clearly.
Originally, Su Mibao wanted to get rubber shoes for everyone to wear, but rubber shoes were too obvious and could not be concealed, so he had to give up.
After thinking about it, Sumibao took out new socks from the space, and then took out disposable plastic shoe covers and asked everyone to put them on the socks, and finally put on the shoes.
This time, Sumibao asked everyone to take off their shoes and threw them into the space. She took out a new pair of black sneakers. She chose the PU leather ones. They are somewhat waterproof, so if they get muddy while walking, and it's dark in the rain, they won't be too eye-catching.
"Pick out some of the branches you find for burning, the thicker and harder ones, and each of you can use one as a walking stick."
[Tsk tsk, my uncle has prepared so much. He even prepared a straw raincoat for the donkey.]
Su Mibao didn't expect that when she went out to get the raincoat prepared by her uncle, she accidentally found that there were still a few horses wearing raincoats on their backs. She took it out from the space and took out a larger piece of plastic cloth.
Housekeeper Su spread the plastic sheet over the donkey and then put on a straw raincoat. Outsiders couldn't tell what was going on.
"When we start walking, don't spread out. Try to gather around the donkey cart. If you can't move, hold onto the cart shed for support. If the donkey cart slips on the uphill slope, everyone should push it."
Su Mibao took out a large piece of military thickened wear-resistant waterproof canvas, and Madam Su, Song Jinhe, and Gu Yueyan were busy covering the entire interior of the donkey shed with canvas. This way, no matter how heavy the rain, the shed would not leak.
Thinking that it would rain soon and the weather would suddenly turn cold, and that the cart was full of patients, Sumibao took out a few more thick blankets and put them in the donkey cart.
The Su family's busy work was seen by the exiled prisoners nearby. They ate hastily. Everyone lay on the ground tired and didn't want to move.
Watching the Su family busy, they looked at the sky. It was bright and hot just now. Suddenly it got dark. And it started to thunder. The thunder was one after another, which was quite scary.
However, looking at the Su family’s preparations, it seems like it’s going to rain soon.
They looked at the sky, then at the Su family, and laughed in their hearts.
Before they were exiled, they were all either officials or wealthy businessmen. They had heard that the northwest had been suffering from drought for half a year and the fields had no harvest. Although the court had sent people to provide disaster relief, the farmers still began to flee south. When they thought about it, the people in the north all fled south with their families.
As exiled prisoners, they were exiled to the northern border.
Isn't that just throwing yourself into a dead end?
So when they set foot on the road of exile, they all felt cold in their hearts. They all knew that they would be in great danger, and if they didn't die on the road, they would not have much chance of survival if they encountered such a drought in the northern border.
It hasn't rained in the capital for more than a month. There were a few thunderstorms, but not a drop of rain.
So when they saw the Su family busying around, they just found it funny. They thought that the women and children in the Zhenguo Mansion were just the women in the inner house who had never seen the world and didn't know about farming. They thought it was going to rain when they heard thunder. It was really funny.
However, some exiled prisoners were jealous of the raincoats of the Su family. The relatives of the Zhenguogong Mansion were indeed imperial merchants. Look, they not only sent money and food, but also raincoats. It can be seen that they must have prepared a lot of clothes and food.
Those families whose relatives avoided them like tigers and no one even gave them steamed buns after their homes were searched were even more envious and jealous.
"Brother, what do you think of the Su family?"
Following closely behind the Su family's donkey cart were Taifu Wang's family. In addition, Old Madam Su had just visited Wang Mengjing, and Gu Yueyan had brought medicine. By this time, Wang Mengjing's condition had been under control.
Despite her grandson's objection, the Queen Mother insisted on taking Wang Mengjing to the carriage to raise him.
"Our Wang family has been confiscated and exiled. What is there to be afraid of?"
Once the old lady got angry, Wang Changlin didn't dare to stop her.
Wang Changlin motioned his eldest brother Wang Changling to look at the sky, "Look at the sky, it looks like it's going to rain. The Su family has prepared raincoats. It's time to set off soon, so we have to get the family members ready too."
Wang Changling, the eldest son of Taifu Wang, is a cabinet minister. He has always been an honest official and attaches great importance to rules.
