Chapter 5 Shocked the Audience
A warm corpse, wrapped in a straw mat, was casually thrown on the side of the official road.
The lowliness of life made the remaining people quickly realize that nothing is more important than being alive.
After that, the noise in the team suddenly became much quieter.
The Shen family brought too much luggage, while the others brought too little.
Therefore, from the moment they set out on the journey, Chen Chunxing signaled everyone to walk on the edge and try to stay away from the main force within the area under the supervision of the officials.
When they were ordered to stop, the Shen family was standing alone on the left side of the official road, and the body was thrown not far from them.
Diao's eyes widened. Although she was not scared, she was still terrified at the thought, so she quickly told everyone to hide far away.
"No, no, I won't go on. I have a long way to go later. Let me rest for now."
Chen Chunxing sat down on a big rock.
The body was almost at her feet.
Diao wanted to curse the lazy guy, but after being given a strange look by the officer, she swallowed her words in disappointment.
Don’t dare to do anything stupid at this time!
In fact, it wasn't just the police officers who had strange looks in their eyes; all the old neighbors in the village had weird expressions as well.
I used to know that the eldest girl of the Shen family loved to talk nonsense, but now I know that she is very brave!
If anyone has any bad intentions, they will immediately think twice.
Although the Shen family only has old women and children, the eldest girl is lucky enough to pick up a strong laborer.
As long as Yang Yi stood there, even with handcuffs and shackles on, he still exerted tremendous pressure on people.
After a while.
A convoy drove out of the city gate.
The officer ordered them to get on the road again.
Chen Chunxing glanced at the corpse on the ground with regret.
No one came to accompany me today.
She didn't know if it was her bad luck or if others were just lucky, but every time she met someone who looked like he was about to die, the messenger to collect his soul never showed up.
The only two opportunities were missed due to some reasons.
Chen Chun walked to the side of his family, squinting his eyes and looking ahead casually.
"Is there a distinguished person who wants to go with us?"
She added a twist to her words, sounding unsure.
Diao withdrew her gaze and said, "Why do I feel that this noble man...is not very valuable."
The group came in a mighty procession. They looked quite imposing from a distance, but only became clear when one looked closer.
Except for the people in the carriage who had not yet appeared, the people standing outside were all ordinary people in coarse linen clothes. After talking to the woman standing outside the mule cart for a while, they all left.
Everyone looked at the cart with one horse and two mules and fell into deep thought.
I've never heard of any noble person going on a long journey in this way!
Only the leading escort officer Wei Da knew the truth in the whole place. This was something he had promised to do, and he was waiting here specifically for someone to arrive.
Now that we're here, it's time to set off.
The road to the north is still a long way off. Based on the pace of these people, they would be thankful if they could arrive before October. There is no time to waste.
With an order, the large team set off.
The Shen family was still falling in a position far away from the crowd, at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, trying their best to keep consistent with everyone else so as not to be so conspicuous.
Chen Chunxing silently observed his surroundings and saw that apart from the servants, there were only some unfamiliar members of the Jiang family's side branches in the team, which made him feel a little more at ease.
There are also different types of exile.
If the Earl's Mansion really committed the crime of treason, even if he saved his life, he would not have a good ending if he was exiled to the border.
But now those who are here are all innocent people who have been implicated.
Thinking of the escort officer's slightly lenient attitude before, Chen Chunxing had some guesses in his mind.
This journey may be difficult, but it may also be a way out.
However, it is not easy for the Shen family to keep a low profile. Ever since they appeared in the team, they were targeted.
When they stopped to rest at noon, this covetousness became apparent.
Seeing that Diao was going with the team to collect today's dry food, Li hurried to the tree where the Shen family was resting.
"Oh, your luggage looks quite heavy. You still have a long way to go. Why don't you let our family help you share the burden?"
As Li spoke, she reached out to take the bag from the second girl of the Shen family.
It's obvious that they are picking on the weak.
Shen Zhixia took a few steps back to dodge.
Although she was one year older than Shen Mingqiu, she was as thin as a bean sprout, with hair as dry and yellow as straw, and her hands exposed outside her sleeves were rough and dry, showing that she had been used to doing rough work since childhood.
"We've been neighbors for so many years, why should I be so polite to you, Auntie?"
Seeing Li coming closer relentlessly, Shen Zhixia's usually quiet face showed anger, and she bit her lip and hid behind Yang Yi.
Li stopped, the smile on her face became a little forced, she rolled her eyes, and simply raised her voice.
"Don't take my kindness for granted! Now that we're all exiled together, we should help each other! If you're tired today, we'll help you. If someone is hungry or cold tomorrow, you should help us too..."
Those words full of calculations gradually became inaudible under Shen Chunxing's gaze.
The little girl's eyes were dark and bright. When she tilted her head and stared at you, she showed no emotion at all, but it made you feel a chill down your spine for no reason.
How strange!
Li glanced at the people watching not far away and felt a little relieved.
Since they can't monopolize it, they might as well drag everyone into it! I guess the Shen family doesn't dare to offend the public!
"Mingqiu, didn't you see anyone trying to bully your second sister?"
Chen Chunxing sat on the ground without moving, just pinching his calves.
In an instant.
A thin figure rushed towards Li like a hungry wolf.
"This is outrageous! You uneducated little bastard, how dare you fight with your elders!" Li was knocked to the ground without warning, crying out in pain.
Shen Mingqiu looked frail, but his eyes were extremely fierce. "Elders? There aren't any elders in my family who would send their granddaughter to die."
These words are exactly the same as what Diao said that day.
Feeling the vague contemptuous looks from all around, Li's face instantly turned ugly. She was furious and raised her hand to teach the boy in front of her a lesson.
result.
A wooden hairpin first brushed past Li's cheek, then sank deep into the mud behind her.
Chen Chunxing stroked his hair as if nothing had happened and grinned at the stunned Li.
The scene was both funny and crazy.
Li touched her face and found it sticky, and she screamed in fright.
"You, you, you... How dare you commit murder in public! Send someone to call the official! We're going to kill someone!"
The commotion was so big that it attracted quite a few people.
Diao was running in front. Seeing Li sitting on the ground and throwing a tantrum, she felt that her child had suffered a loss, so she rushed over angrily and grabbed Li's clothes.
"You old hag! You're already so old, yet you dare to bully a few kids when I'm not around! Come at me if you dare! I'll slap you in the face!"
Li was completely stunned.
I wonder who is bullying whom?
What happened today was really unexpected.
The Shen family has never been popular in the village, but they are not arrogant or domineering. Who would have thought that the two children would act so decisively, which completely overturned the previous impression.
At this time, the escort officer arrived slowly.
A woman wearing crimson clothes and with rouge on her face followed him.
"What are you arguing about? You've all rested enough, right? If anyone dares to drag his feet later, he'll be whipped!" Wei Da scolded with a cold face.
Li's little thoughts were immediately scared away, and she quickly moved away with the help of her family.
The rest of the onlookers also scattered.
It's only the first day of exile, and no one wants to be bored at this moment.
However, the woman looked around the scene for a long time, her eyes always wandering over the two girls from the Shen family. She shook her head when she left, and her expression was not very satisfied.
