176. Chapter 176 Lost Everything



"If something is lost, what will we use in the future?"

The prisoners wailed, unwilling to give up their belongings.

"The earth is about to turn over. Mudslides and landslides. What is more important, things or life?"

Zhou Fuan was so angry that he cracked his whip and urged the exiles to gather quickly and set off lightly.

"If we lose these food and supplies, we will starve and freeze to death on the road of exile."

Some brave exiles shouted and encouraged the other prisoners not to listen to the officers and abandon their luggage.

"Let's go, let's go first."

This time, Ji Tai no longer insisted on going with Zhou Fuan.

"Village chief, lead the way."

Ji Tai ordered a guard to take the village chief and ride away on horseback. The guards and the Zhaowei whipped the criminals up the mountain like a herd of cattle and sheep.

[Don't worry about it, let's go first. 】

The exiled prisoner hesitated and begged, refusing to put down his luggage.

Su Mibao told his family to leave quickly, and while the exiles were dawdling, he quickly followed the criminals up the mountain.

The Imperial Guards and the Zhao Guards all had horses and could run fast. The prisoners followed closely behind, all of them young and strong, and there were twenty Imperial Guards and the Zhao Guards at the back swinging long whips. The prisoners ran forward.

In an emergency, there was no time to worry about so many things. Su San asked everyone to squeeze into the donkey cart and drove the cart closely behind the criminals.

The Wang family's horse-drawn carriage followed closely behind the Su family's donkey cart.

Behind it was a row of various cars.

The mountain road was steep and narrow. The donkey cart drove three or four miles to the foot of the mountain.

In the faint dawn, the mountain towered in the heavy rain. The road leading to the top of the mountain was narrow and steep. Only two people could walk side by side. No matter what kind of car, even a cart, could pull it up. In addition, it was raining heavily, and the road was very slippery. There was a danger of falling at any time.

"Hurry up and follow me. As long as we climb to the flat land halfway up the mountain, we will be safe."

I saw Ji Tai and others climbing up the mountain with the prisoners.

Their horses were also brought with them, but the people pulling the horses were not officials, but prisoners. Ji Tai had some prisoners selected to pull the horses up the mountain. As long as they could reach the mountainside safely, the shackles would be removed.

"Master, the earth dragon is about to turn over."

The rabbit's voice reached Sumibao's ears.

Su Mibao looked at the frighteningly red sky, coupled with the heavy rain, as if it was the end of the world. He was also terrified.

[Leave the car behind and follow them. Go, fast]

Once the earth dragon turns over, a landslide will occur immediately, and the mud and rock flow will quickly submerge the village.

"Mother, I'll hold Baby Mi. Let Huashan and Nanny Song help you up the mountain."

Song Jinhe took Mi Baobao from Old Madam Su's arms, while Gu Yueyan and Su San supported Su Zhenbei.

Sumibao watched his family get off the donkey cart, with the four children being led by adults, but each adult was carrying something on his back.

[Family members, please don’t bring anything with you. It will get wet in the rain and will also be a burden for you to go up the mountain.]

Everyone in the Su family heard Su Mibao's voice.

"We brought clothes and quilts with us so that we can use them after the rain stops and they are dried."

"I'm carrying some food on my back. I'll have to eat when I get to the mountain."

The Su family members were talking to each other, but in fact, everyone was talking to Su Mibao.

"Don't need the donkey cart anymore. I'll lead the donkey."

Chief Steward Su was afraid that the Su family would ask him to abandon the donkey, so he held the donkey's reins tightly, "The officials have taken their horses up the mountain. The donkey is lighter than the horse, and it is very sensible. I will take good care of it."

[It's too dangerous. I don't bring anything with me except myself.]

"The young master has just woken up, and he is weak and seriously ill. If there is no car, a donkey will do."

Su San immediately expressed his opinion that he and Su Zongguan agreed on taking the donkey away.

[Don't worry, your stuff won't be lost. Just take care of yourself.]

Song Jinhe knew what Mi Baobao meant, and she would find a suitable opportunity to store the carriage in the space. But if the Su family had nothing, they couldn't take out their things in front of so many people when they got to the mountain, right?

Thinking of this, Song Jinhe glanced at Su Zhenbei.

"Zhenbei, let Manager Su take the donkey?"

"Um,"

Su Zhenbei nodded, thinking to himself that he would just take it with him first and try walking. If it still doesn't work when he reaches halfway up the mountain, it won't be too late to throw it away.

"Husband, should we let everyone carry a simple package?"

Gu Yueyan supported Su Zhenbei, got close to him, and whispered,

"This way we can get things out of the mountains and have a clear way to get by."

Since he made up his mind, Su Zhenbei, who is a careful person, has been taking care of Gu Yueyan in every way.

Gu Yueyan was not a shy person. Since she was sure of Su Zhenbei's feelings for her, she accepted his care openly.

In just a few days, the two could understand each other's intentions from each other's eyes.

"Well, that's fine."

Su Zhenbei also felt that his little bride was very thoughtful. If everything was lost, when they got to the mountain, this family, young and old, would have to worry about clothes, blankets, food and daily necessities. Even if my little sister's fairyland had everything, she couldn't just take it out of thin air.

"Zhenbei and Yan'er are right. We should all carry a backpack and bring less stuff. It will be fine as long as it does not delay our ascent up the mountain."

Song Jinhe watched as everyone put some of the things back into the donkey cart. The donkey cart was left at the foot of the mountain, and everyone climbed up the mountain with only a small package on their backs.

Su Zhenbei asked Su San to use a thick rope to tie the waists of the entire family, so that if anyone slipped, they would not fall because there were so many people holding them.

Manager Su led the way, pulling the donkey. Su Zhenbei, Su San and Su An, the few who knew Kung Fu, spread out so that it would be easier to take care of everyone.

"Dad, what should we do?"

The Wang family's horse-drawn carriage followed closely behind the Su family's donkey cart. Seeing what the Su family did, the eldest son Wang Changling looked at his father, Tutor Wang, who was in the carriage.

Gu Yueyan went to the Wang family and checked the injuries of Wang Taifu and Wang Yanyu. She sent some medicine, and Wang Taifu took it. In the Da Liuzhuang ancestral hall, the fever finally subsided in the middle of the night and he woke up. The two sons immediately reported the situation of the Su family to him in detail. Wang Taifu also asked them about the escort of the entire team, and asked about the situation of some exiled officials in the East Palace and the exile team.

"Follow Su Zhenbei, do whatever he does."

After all, Wang Taifu was old, covered in wounds, weak and sick, and his head was still dizzy. But he was worthy of the title of Old Oil Barrel. He knew that Su Zhenbei was the most scheming person in the entire exile team, not to mention the entire Da Qi Dynasty. It would be a good idea to let his children and grandchildren follow the Su family.

"They lost the donkey cart. If we lose the horse cart, what will happen to our grandmother and little sister?"

The boss Wang Changling was worried.

"And dad, you are weak and seriously injured, and you can't walk."

The Queen Mother frowned.

"You are so badly injured. If the police know you are awake, won't they still let you walk in the cangue?"
