Chapter 46: Centrifugal
After the group had finished their preparations, they set off.
What was different from the past was that there was an extra carriage accompanying them.
Looking at the carriage, jealousy flashed in Old Lady Wang's eyes. She asked her grandson beside her, "Is that sickly kid going to come along too?"
Shen Yaoming nodded: "I heard that you will go to Ganzhou with me."
"Just letting someone follow us casually? What if they have bad intentions?" Old Lady Wang said disapprovingly. "These officers and soldiers are too careless."
"Grandma," Shen Yaoming frowned, "General Lin and the others naturally have their own considerations."
My grandmother is becoming more and more arrogant and unreasonable. She won't stop until she makes some noise every day. Even if she is warned and scolded by officers and soldiers several times a day, she will turn around and do the same tricks again. I don't know if she is deliberately making trouble for people or if she has a problem with her brain.
Even if the person from the Lu family had any ideas, he would not be able to put them into action. Not to mention whether he has the courage or not, even if he has the courage, he does not have the ability. Even if he has the ability, there is no need for him to risk being beheaded to do something impossible.
Moreover,
Whenever the imperial court encountered a major event, such as a birthday, the appointment of a crown prince, or the ascension of a new emperor... and there was a general amnesty, if one stayed honest, there would be a chance to become a free man. If one ran away or did something bad, then the whole family would suffer.
Therefore, according to his understanding, since the establishment of the Dayong Dynasty, there has been no such situation with so many exiled people.
The Lu brothers and sisters and that man are not stupid, so how could they possibly do...
Shen Yaoming was suddenly stunned, and his eyes flickered.
"Who knows!" Old Lady Wang disagreed, "That little bitch must have used some tricks."
Otherwise, why do they always favor the family of four?
She thought of something and her eyes lit up: "Aren't we going to find out the news? Do you have any ideas?"
Shen Yaoming shook his head, "I'll have to discuss it with my father and mother before I can decide."
"Okay, if there's anything you're unsure about, be sure to tell me," Old Lady Wang patted her chest confidently. "Grandma has lived to this age, after all, and has seen more than you."
Shen Yaoming lowered his eyes: "...Okay."
Whether to find her or not is one thing, but he still has to coax this person who always likes to have the final say.
Old Mrs. Wang smiled, her grandson was so filial.
She had a promising and filial son in her life, and such a smart, capable and handsome grandson. So what if she was in trouble now? She believed that one day, their Shen family would stand up again.
Thinking of her son, the old lady went to see the cart.
Shen Shiren's injuries were recovering slowly and had now formed scabs, but his injuries were severe and he still needed to recuperate, so he would have to spend some time on the cart.
For Shen Shiren, lying on the cart was not only uncomfortable but also embarrassing. Whenever someone looked at him, he felt that the other person was mocking his past.
but,
Compared to walking such a long distance every day, lying on the cart is much more comfortable.
Even the people pushing the carts had increasingly ugly expressions on their faces. They had been adapting for such a long time, yet they were still so stupid!
"What on earth are you guys doing!" Old Lady Wang cursed in dissatisfaction: "It's been a few days? And you're still like this, one by one. Haven't you eaten?"
The old lady had been furious for a long time, and now seeing these things half dead, she immediately got angry: "What's the point of raising you!"
Shen Yu and the others all looked very unhappy. They had to survive on a steamed bun for every meal, unlike this old lady who had good food and drink every day.
Shen Zhao was the first to quit. He said, "Yeah, I'm useless. Let's leave it to someone capable."
After saying this, he let go of the handle of the cart and walked forward, supporting his aunt.
They work so hard every day, but in the mouths of these people, they are still useless. So why are they still begging and staying here? Sister Lian is right. They are all exiled. Who is more noble than who?
"Auntie, let's do the same as Sister Lian and the others from now on."
After the quarrel that day, Shen Yulian and her aunt unilaterally left the Shen family. Old Lady Wang couldn't do anything about them and threatened to expel them from the Shen family.
If it were in the past, this statement could indeed scare people, as it would be difficult for a woman without a family to survive outside. But now that the Shen family has fallen, they are all exiled and annoying people. Shen Yulian is not afraid at all. If possible, she hopes that they will really do what they say and separate them.
Originally, their plan was about to succeed.
Unfortunately, he was stopped by Shen Yaoming.
If there is one, there will be another. If we really kick someone out, what will happen if others follow suit? These days are different from the past. These people are very independent.
It’s okay for that person, but other people must never set this precedent.
Shen Zhao's biological mother is Xu Nianwei. She has always been favored by Shen Shifu and had fantasies about this man at that time. But after the Shen family got into trouble, she saw the true faces of these people and truly realized that in that man's eyes, she was just a plaything, and her son was just the product of the man's romantic life.
The fact that she has been favored by Shen Shifu for so many years proves that she is not stupid. She quickly faced the reality and taught her son not to be willful.
At this time, the most important thing is to find a way to survive.
My son is right. Not only will he not get any benefits by staying in the Shen family, but he will also be tortured in various ways. It would be better for him to learn from Yu Lian and her daughter.
Anyway, the food and drink expenses are all provided by the court, and the Shen family can't spend a penny on them.
After figuring it out, she nodded and said, "Let's go ahead."
For safety reasons, it is better to stay as far away from these people as possible.
"Nianwei, Zhaoer, where are you going?" Shen Shifu shouted hurriedly.
As long as he opened his mouth, the mother and son would come to his side immediately and try to please him in various ways. But today, the two of them clearly heard his voice, but continued to walk forward without looking back, and even walked faster and faster. Shen Shifu was immediately unhappy.
"Mom..." He looked at his mother. It was all his mother's fault. She cursed every day and made everyone complain.
They still have to push the cart, what will happen if they all leave? Are they expected to do it themselves?
They have been very unlucky these days. Pushing the cart made him feel so painful that he wanted to die. Thinking that it would be like this every day in the future, he wished he could die on the spot.
"What a rebellion!" Old Mrs. Wang didn't expect that these people would dare to turn their backs on her just because she said a few words casually. Did they really think she couldn't handle it?
Shen Yu and the others looked at each other and saw the eagerness in each other's eyes.
Old Lady Wang turned around and saw a few people flirting with each other. She immediately shouted angrily, "What are you looking at? Didn't you hear the urging from the front?"
"Grandma, I, I feel so much pain all over my body. Am I going to die?"
"Old lady, I searched you but I didn't have any strength at all."
“…”
A few of them used the same old trick again, and they were determined not to be obedient.
"Grandma, don't be angry!" Seeing that the old lady wanted to curse again, Shen Yu suddenly raised his voice, "Let's just take a break."
Shen Shiren on the cart frowned. He had just gotten up and wanted to rest before setting off. Would he really be whipped by the military service?
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a loud shout from not far away: "What are you still doing? Hurry up and catch up!"
Everyone quickly scattered, oh no, Shen Shifu and his companions hurriedly left the cart.
The lessons learned in the past few days have taught them that they cannot move forward at this time, otherwise, they will not be able to get rid of it for most of the day.
Unfortunately, they thought of this, and Shen Yu and the others naturally considered it as well. They had already stood by their side quietly and blocked their retreat at the first moment.
There was no choice but to stand back beside the cart in humiliation under the threat of the military service whip and work resignedly.
Shen Hui winked at Shen Yu and continued next time.
Shen Yu returned a look. He still wanted to be like Yu Lian and Shen Zhao. His wife was not in good health, and he wanted to stay by her side.
His gaze fell on the cart and his eyes darkened.
Lu Mingxiu witnessed the Shen family's farce with his own eyes and was stunned. He couldn't help but ask Lu Yao, "Is that old hag still so arrogant?"
And Wang Yalan, Shen Yaoming and the others really didn't take the illegitimate child seriously.
He originally thought that the other party was simply targeting his younger sister's family.
"We're just getting started now." Lu Yao scoffed. "We've already calmed down."
Lu Mingxiu: Σ(xue克裓"a
He was truly shocked.
Don't you look at your current situation? You're still making 2.58 million. When these people quit, they will cry.
Oh no, they're already about to cry.
Lu Yao scoffed, "They still think they're popular."
After all, I have money and I am confident.
"Brother, what will happen to them if the money is gone?" Lu Yao suddenly became curious.
Lu Mingxiu was stunned for a moment, then said, "That shouldn't be the case, right?"
but,
"That's sure to be a good show."
Lu Yao and his sister never expected that the scene they casually mentioned would actually happen in the near future. They were shocked and unbelievable, and... secretly happy.
Of course, this is all later.
A group of five people were walking among the large group, chatting as they walked.
"Brother, get on the carriage." Lu Yao looked at the man who insisted on staying with them and urged him again.
Lu Mingxiu perfunctorily said that he was about to fall apart from being shaken around in the carriage these days and he needed to take it slow.
Moreover, he is in poor health and needs to exercise more.
Lu Yao: “…”
When did his brother become so talkative?
Lu Mingxiu didn't want to get on the carriage, he wanted to stay with his younger sister and the others.
As the younger sister who grew up with her brother, how could Lu Yao not guess what her brother was thinking?
Rong Yan looked back at the two siblings and said, "Brother, you should stay with Yueyue and Haohao. You can teach them to read and recite poems."
Lu Yao nodded in agreement: "Yes, brother, the two children are very smart, but it's a pity that Brother Rong and I have limited learning."
Being entrusted with an important task, Lu Mingxiu felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, but he was happier. He no longer wanted to accompany his younger sister. He nodded and said "OK", then turned around and returned to the carriage.
The two of them watched their brother leave and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yao was really afraid that if he really followed her for a long distance, he would be the one to suffer.
She looked at her man: "You still have a way."
Rong Yan smiled back, "Brother is very knowledgeable. With his guidance, Haohao and Yueyue will definitely learn a lot."
If the story goes as Yaomei knows, they will be pardoned soon, so he should make plans for the future early.
but,
He really didn't expect that his brother-in-law, who was low-key, was so powerful that he could talk to General Lin in a short time and even get the other party to agree to take the two children on the carriage.
He and Yaomei were ecstatic that they didn't have to walk by themselves.
They felt a lot more relaxed without having to hold two children.
In order to cover themselves, Lu Yao and the others also carried a small package with them. Whenever they wanted something, they would use the package as a cover.
Lu Yao thought of something and slapped her forehead, "I was just happy."
She didn't prepare any food for her children and brother.
"It's okay, there's still time to give it to him later." Rong Yan comforted him.
We have just set off, so it won’t be too late to send it later.
only,
Before Lu Yao and the others could deliver anything, Lu Mingxiu brought them water and food.
Lu Yao: “…”
Otherwise, how could they be brother and sister? They are so telepathic and understand each other.
"Brother, we have some too." He rummaged through the package and took out a small package and handed it to him, "You can eat it with the kids later."
Lu Mingxiu stared at her and Rong Yanhui. Lu Yao felt guilty, "Brother..."
"I'll keep it for now. Don't do this again." Lu Mingxiu didn't say anything else. He took the package and the water bag they had just drunk from and left.
Rong Yan looked back at his brother's back, feeling a little worried: "Sister Yao, does brother know something?" He always felt that there was something wrong with the way the other party looked at them.
Lu Yao nodded: "He should have some suspicions, but he doesn't know the details."
She was born with memories. At that time, her brother was with her every day, and he must have discovered something. Later, when her parents were in trouble, she didn't care about anything else in a panic and took out some things in front of them... Her brother didn't mention anything or ask anything, just to protect herself.
"Brother is a trustworthy person, but there are many people outside, so we still have to be careful." Rong Yan replied.
People at this time were very awed by ghosts and gods, but if there was anything special about someone around them, they would just think that they were different.
Lu Yao nodded. She was prepared for the worst. She now had a family, a loving husband, lovely sons and daughters, and a brother who loved her. She couldn't let her carelessness lead to unforeseen disasters.
At noon, they still stayed in a place with flat terrain, water sources around, and convenient hunting.
Seeing Lu Mingxiu carrying the two children, Yunhao and Xinyue, down from the carriage, the other prisoners were shocked and in disbelief, especially the families who also had children with them. They immediately went to find the soldier in charge to inquire about the situation.
Captain Wu rolled his eyes after hearing what these people said: "My brother is willing to accompany you. If you are not convinced, you can also ask your relatives to come."
"But there is no such precedent." Someone whispered.
Captain Wu scoffed, "Then tell me, are there any regulations in the law?"
"There's no precedent, no relevant regulations, so is the current arrangement considered a violation?"
Everyone: ...Of course it doesn’t count.
Exile is such a dangerous and terrifying thing. Even relatives and friends are too busy trying to escape. Who would rush to follow?
Captain Wu pointed in the direction of Lu Mingxiu and said, "That's the fool you're talking about."
Everyone: ...
"If your own blood relatives can't do it, don't blame others for their deep brotherly love," Captain Wu said. "If you also have relatives willing to abandon the prosperity of the capital and follow you to a remote place to endure hardships, our general will not stop them."
“If you can’t do it, don’t blame others for doing it too well.”
Everyone was silent.
They had nothing to say.
