Chapter 102 We Can’t Afford to Provoke This Person
Lei Wuya then realized that he didn't know the other person's name. He said, "This woman has a foolish brother-in-law."
Cheng Feng's face darkened. He already knew who the other party was talking about. "Sir, they are exiled prisoners. She is the daughter-in-law of the main criminal's family, so she cannot leave."
Lei Wuya narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where is she?"
Cheng Feng didn't want to betray Su Nuan, but he couldn't beat these people, so he was a little embarrassed for a while.
At this moment, Su Nuan noticed something was wrong, walked over and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Lei Wuya's eyes lit up, "I like you and want to marry you."
Su Nuan replied calmly: "Thank you for your love, but I won't marry you."
Lei Wuya smiled and said, "Then what do you want to do to agree?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "I won't agree to this no matter what. Just let us go for the sake of the prescription. We still have a long way to go. If we can't arrive on time, we will all suffer."
Lei Wuya asked, "Where in the North are you going?"
Su Nuan replied: "A few words on the river bank."
Lei Wuya was a little confused. When did a place called Jizi River appear?
Cheng Feng coughed dryly and said, "It's the big rocky land opposite Luosha Country."
Lei Wuya nodded, "Okay, I understand. I'll give you these grains. I'll come find you in the spring."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the people riding horses behind him dropped their food bags.
There were more than a dozen of them, and they threw down ten bags, each of which looked to weigh three hundred pounds.
Cheng Feng was overjoyed. With these foods, they could reach the north safely.
He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir."
Lei Wuya said coldly: "Go away, take care of my wife, I will marry her in the spring."
After he finished speaking, he threw a token to Su Nuan and said, "Here, it's a betrothal gift!"
Su Nuan caught it subconsciously, but before she could say anything, Lei Wuya and his men ran away.
She looked speechlessly at the token in her hand. It was oval in shape, with a sculpture of a Buddha and a demon in a split second on it, and a big word "Kill" on the back.
Su Nuan sighed and kicked the token into his arms, "We can't afford to offend this guy, let's hurry on our way and talk later."
Cheng Feng nodded, "Come and get the food, put it away and then get going, hurry up."
Li Shitou heard that his tone was a little irritable, so he quickly took people to put the food away.
The team moved forward slowly and returned to its previous tranquility.
Perhaps because of the snowstorm, we encountered several gangs of robbers on the road, but these robbers were all ordinary people from neighboring villages who had no other choice but to rob.
Cheng Feng still felt sorry for them and gave them a bag of food.
Su Nuan didn't care. There were so many poor people in the world and she couldn't take care of them all.
The best words I ever heard in my previous life were, "A person's strength is determined by their ability. Don't try to be too arrogant, but don't be overly modest either."
"If you still have the ability after taking care of yourself and the people you care about, then you are qualified to help others. If you can't even take care of yourself and the people you care about, but still force yourself to take care of outsiders for the sake of face, then you are the stupidest person in the world."
Su Nuan didn't seem like the stupid person who pretended to be deaf and dumb all the way.
As soon as she arrived in the north, Su Nuan felt very uncomfortable.
On the left side of the road is a towering cliff. It just appeared out of nowhere without even a slope.
As the carriage drove along the road, the feeling of being pressed down by the cliff was suffocating.
Fortunately, the right side of the road is flat and some evergreen shrubs can be seen.
They walked for more than ten days on this road and finally came to a sharp turn.
After turning the corner, Su Nuan was stunned by the scene in front of her.
In the previous life, this place was deserted, with few houses and only a few snow houses, but now... a village has appeared here.
Su Nuan asked in surprise: "Brother Cheng, why are there so many people here?"
Cheng Feng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe because of the snowstorm, some villagers came here and built a village."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Didn't the snowstorm just start? How could they do it so quickly?"
Cheng Feng smiled awkwardly and said, "This is my first time here too, so I don't know much about it. Wait a moment, I'll go take over."
"Okay." Su Nuan nodded.
Everyone in the team set up tents at the foot of the cliff and waited patiently.
Cheng Feng went to see the local officials, and no one knew what they talked about. He returned to the team drunk in the afternoon.
"I... am not drunk..."
Li Shitou awkwardly supported Cheng Feng who was staggering.
Su Nuan raised her eyelids, grabbed a handful of snow, wrapped the hangover pills in the snow and stuffed them into Cheng Feng's mouth.
Cheng Feng's body was already hot after drinking, so he swallowed the cold snow in his mouth.
The hangover pills took effect. Cheng Feng rubbed his solar plexus and said, "Damn it! I'm dying of drinking."
Su Nuan frowned and asked, "Brother Cheng, why did you take so long?"
Cheng Feng snorted, "The official here is called Zhao Muyou, he's a greedy and lustful guy."
"He wants the pretty girls in our team to take turns sleeping with him, otherwise he won't give me the acceptance stamp."
Su Nuan was not worried about the seal and asked again, "What do you say?"
Cheng Feng shook his head. "Of course I didn't agree. In the end, I could only drink with him. He finally agreed not to force those women to sleep with him."
Su Nuan narrowed her eyes. This guy couldn’t be kept alive. How about killing him at night?
Cheng Feng said, "I'm afraid that after I go back, you will be forced by him. After all, this is his territory, and he can do whatever he wants."
Su Nuan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Brother Cheng, are you interested in being a border guard?"
Cheng Feng raised his eyebrows. He was only a ninth-rank official now. Although a border officer was not very good, he was still a fifth-rank official, a height he would never be able to reach in his lifetime. Moreover, he could be a local emperor here.
He asked with interest: "What can I do, sister?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Come, I'll tell you."
The two of them got together, but were pushed apart before they could say anything.
Ling Yun stared and asked, "What are you whispering about? I want to hear it too."
Su Nuan was speechless, but didn't drive him away. She said, "Okay, okay, listen to me too. This is going to be difficult without you."
Cheng Feng asked in confusion: "Him? What can he do?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Even though Xiao Yun isn't very smart now, he hasn't forgotten his abilities. He can climb walls and kill people and rob… Ugh… He's really good at climbing over walls."
Cheng Feng held back his laughter. He grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed it on his face to get rid of a lot of the drunkenness.
"Go ahead and tell me. I'm listening. The capital is too chaotic right now. I won't be able to live in peace if I go back."
"Maybe I'll have to pick up and drop off exiled prisoners again when I go back. I don't want to be out and about all the time."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Even if I have a plan, you still have to go back. If there are escorts here, you can just come back on the way."
Cheng Feng thought it made sense. "Yeah, that's right. I'm going to go back and pick up my family. It would be best if the Yue family would come with me. The capital...ah..."
He sighed as he spoke, and shook his head as he sighed, which showed that he also saw the signs of chaos in the capital.
