Chapter 6 Family Tradition
As Shen Qingqian walked forward, he searched the medicine box again.
After a while, she pretended to take out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve pocket, walked a few steps quickly to Xiaolin's side, and secretly handed the porcelain bottle to Xiaolin, while whispering: "Sister-in-law, this is what I pulled off the head escort that night. Find a chance to apply it on your brother first."
Before Xiao Lin could even begin to wonder, the escort shouted, "What are you doing, Shen family? Hurry up and get on with your journey! If you delay the journey, each of you will receive ten lashes!"
At the same time, there was a commotion far behind, and the exile team stopped unconsciously.
Xiao Lin naturally didn't think carefully about what Shen Qingqian gave her, and quickly took the opportunity to apply medicine to Shen Xiao, who was pale and shaky.
"Why are you stopping? Hurry up and move on! We have forty miles to cover today and we can't lose even a zhang!" The escort frowned and looked back, then shouted to everyone.
No matter what happens later, it has nothing to do with them.
The Jin Dynasty had a regulation for exile that required exiled criminals to travel forty miles every day. If they delayed reaching their destination, the escorts would also be punished.
The exile team continued to move forward, but this time many people couldn't help but look back frequently.
It was June and the sun was so hot that people were dizzy and dazzled. Everyone looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on.
After about a cup of tea, I finally saw a figure.
In the vast sky and earth, a group of ragged people, dragging their families with them, crawled towards them.
The Shen family was originally walking behind the exile team, so they were naturally the first to see the miserable appearance of the group of people behind them.
Chen Yong, who ranked fourth, asked curiously, "What happened back there?"
They looked like a group of refugees, but they didn't notice anything wrong when they came here before.
Shen Xiao's face was a little heavy, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know, but these have nothing to do with us."
Under the current circumstances, he couldn't even guarantee that all sixteen members of his family could arrive in northern Hubei, so how could he have the energy to take care of other things?
As the eldest sister-in-law, Wu had been one of the pillars of support for the family after both her parents-in-law were killed. Seeing this, she immediately made arrangements for the Shen family, "Second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, I don't know what happened later, but our family cannot be separated. You should each take care of your own family members and ignore others and things."
The Shen family has three branches in total, but now Mr. Shen and his three sons have been beheaded. It was only because of the new emperor's mercy that he pardoned the death penalty for the remaining male members of the Shen family, allowing Shen Xiao and others to save their lives.
As daughters-in-law of the Shen family, Wu, Lin and Liang were able to keep their family together during exile even after the pillars of the family were beheaded. This is enough to show the family style of the Shen family.
"I understand, sister-in-law." Lin and Liang responded in unison.
"Sister Qian, you must hold Zhe'er's hand tightly and don't let him get separated from the others." Liang warned Shen Qingqian earnestly.
Shen Qingqian was fine now. She had just agreed to take care of Xiao Lin's children, so she would naturally not go back on her word.
Shen Qingqian held Shen Zhe's hand tightly and nodded, "Don't worry, mother."
The medicine given by the system is really good. She felt much better in just a short while. It seems that she should quickly let Shen Xiao and the others apply the bottle of swelling-reducing and bruise-dispersing ointment.
"Sister-in-law, please apply this medicine to my second brother and the others." Shen Qingqian tugged at Xiao Lin's sleeve.
Xiao Lin glanced at her, sighed inwardly, and handed her the porcelain bottle. "Go ahead. You've just recovered. Pay attention to the temperature. If anything happens later, remember to hide behind your eldest brother and the others."
What's the point of her arguing with her sister-in-law after something like that happened?
"Yeah, I know, thank you, sister-in-law!" Shen Qingqian smiled, feeling warm in her heart. She took the medicine and went to Shen Jun and the others.
