Other families were not so lucky. There were at least fifty or sixty people, men and women combined.
Excluding the elderly and children, the rest of the people, regardless of gender, were assigned tasks.
They are already a group of people who are proud of their status. Not only are they forced to work for free, but they also have to be responsible for the safety of the goods.
Can they do it? Look up to them so highly!
The Chen family, the Han family, the Wang family, and the Li family, each of them has deep hatred and vengeance. In addition to the confusion about the future, there is also the complexity of these properties.
They were all searched out from my own home, and I had to send them to the capital through my own hands.
Anyone could accept it. But they had no choice.
The convoy started moving, but not very fast.
When Gao Hongbin was about to reach the city gate, someone stopped him and said, "Master Gao, could you please send them some food?"
Gao Hongbin raised his eyebrows: "Sure!"
I'd like to see which family has relatives helping me. If they give me a lot of money, I might be able to make some money along the way.
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight people rushed out, both men and women.
He stuffed the package into his relative's hand and ran away without saying anything.
There was also someone from the Ling family who sent it off, the nanny beside the old lady.
When the old lady saw her acquaintance, she was so shocked that she was speechless.
"Hongzhu, why are you here?"
Hongzhu smiled and shook her head. "I was originally going to be sold, but my son arrived just in time and redeemed me. Old lady, this is a small gift from me and my son. Please accept it!"
"How can this be..." The old lady refused subconsciously, but was patted on the back.
Seeing it was Ling Jiheng, the old lady nodded and expressed her gratitude to Hongzhu.
At the same time, she felt it was ironic. This old man had been by her side for decades, but now, because of an imperial decree, his status had been reversed. She, an old lady who had been rich for decades, still had to rely on others for support.
Shu Muyun touched Chi Xingyue's arm: "Did Heng'er arrange this?"
Chi Xingyue shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
He also reminded: "Mom, walls have ears. Some things are better left to yourself, and you must never tell them."
Shu Muyun immediately showed a hint of joy, but quickly suppressed it.
Ling Weicheng was a little confused when he heard the two people talking in riddles.
When she asked, she was met with Shu Muyun's cold eyes: "We women's private conversations, why are you asking about it as a grown man?"
Ling Weicheng always felt that this was not the case, but he had no evidence, so he could only shut up embarrassedly.
After the farewell, the group continued on their journey.
None of the younger generation of the Ling family went up to ask the old lady what Aunt Hongzhu had given her.
Because they knew that even if the old lady was partial, she could still treat everyone equally in general.
So over the years, although the first and third wives had their own little thoughts, they did not do anything small.
Of course, it also had something to do with the old lady. The wives Ling Weiyuan and Ling Weicun married were both relatively simple-minded.
On ordinary days, they would at most argue with each other, but they would never do anything to harm their brothers.
The other families were different. Before they even left the city, they started making a fuss, fearing that some of them would suffer losses or be taken advantage of.
Gao Hongbin whipped the place and the place fell silent.
"I don't care how you guys make a fuss, just get the job done. Otherwise, I'll make you pay! Okay, it's getting late, let's get going!"
A group of people returned to the cars they were responsible for and slowly followed the large group out of the city gate.
The moment he stepped out of the city gate, Chi Xingyue felt the space move!
[Space Soul Binding Progress 2%]
[Secondary Space Upgrade Progress 0.00001%]
Take two steps forward and the numbers on the display change!
[Space Soul Binding Progress 2%]
[Level 2 space upgrade progress 0.00003%]
Holy shit, is this an exile system? Leveling up based on steps!
And this is not all the steps she took, but the number counted from the beginning of her exile, when she left Jiangning City.
Chi Xingyue's face showed both excitement and dejection.
What made her excited was that she had to complete the upgrade of the secondary space before arriving in Youzhou.
The frustrating thing is that the space for upgrading by step count is too torturous. It requires her to keep walking, keep walking, and not be lazy.
Chi Xingyue sighed and began to calculate how long it would take to upgrade the space. Such a long string of zeros was really overwhelming.
If you take 10,000 steps, which is a 0.1% increase per step, then that's a 0.00001% increase.
Based on the average stride length of adult men and women, 10,000 steps is about 5,000 meters, which is the distance walked in one hour.
In this way, even if you walk for ten hours a day, you can only complete 1% of the progress.
To complete the upgrade to the second-level space, she had to walk ten hours a day for a hundred consecutive days. Even if others were resting in the car, she had to walk.
Suddenly feeling powerless, Chi Xingyue could already see his bleak future.
Ling Jiheng sensed her emotions and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
Chi Xingyue shook her head, feeling somewhat sad. "The road ahead is long. I'm worried that one day I won't be able to walk anymore."
"It's okay, I can carry you!"
Ling Jiheng spoke with great righteousness, but Chi Xingyue remained unmoved.
First, she wasn't sure whether the steps Ling Jiheng took while carrying her counted.
Secondly, even if the space had a bug, it would be impossible for Ling Jiheng to carry her for 100,000 steps every day for a hundred days.
Seeing that she was still unhappy, Ling Jiheng suddenly had an idea: "Is it related to that?"
Chi Xingyue nodded and said "hmm" in a muffled voice.
Even without more specific information, Ling Jiheng had a rough guess.
He smiled and rubbed Chi Xingyue's messy hair: "It's okay, go as far as you can, we won't force it!"
Chi Xingyue curled her lips, thinking how could she be so casual? She even wanted to bring the space with her to the 21st century.
But he did not reject Ling Jiheng's good intention and sighed: "Okay!"
Shu Muyun heard the conversation between the young couple and quickly joined in: "Yes, Xiaoyue, if you are tired, just go to the car and take a rest. We have two grown men in our family, we can push you!"
This made Geng Suhua next to him roll her eyes. She thought to herself, what kind of person is this? She doesn't even take the car herself, but lets her son and husband push their daughter-in-law.
It's so stupid.
At the same time, I was also looking forward to it. If I was tired, could I also sit in the car? After all, I had three men at home!
The group followed the team and moved forward quickly. The journey at the beginning was not as difficult as they had imagined.
After all, this place still belongs to Jiangning Prefecture. Tall poplars and willows grow on both sides of the spacious road. The morning sun is not so strong, and you can still feel a slight coolness under the shade of the trees.
But this situation did not last long.
It was a hot summer day, and the temperature started to rise around 8 a.m. After not having eaten all morning and having walked for over an hour, I was already exhausted.
Not to mention others, even Chi Xingyue, a fire-cooking girl, was a little overwhelmed. Not to mention the ladies who usually lived a life of luxury and rode in sedan chairs when going out.
