Xishan Island North Island Military Camp.

At four o'clock in the morning, Xu Kun woke up on time and mentioned Xu Bangning who was still sleeping soundly beside him.

"Don't make trouble, let me kiss you again..." Xu Bangning hugged the pillow and smiled very happily. It was obvious that he had dreamed of returning to Jinling again.

It was not until Xu Kun pulled his quilt that the young master suddenly opened his eyes, feeling extremely depressed.

"Can't you let me have a sweet dream for a while longer?" Xu Bangning protested angrily as he stepped off the kang and put on his clogs.

"I'm having a nightmare, and you still want to have a good dream?" Xu Kun drew water from the jar and washed his face and brushed his teeth. The security brigade had strict hygiene regulations, and even the excrement collectors had to pay attention to hygiene.

"What kind of nightmare? Someone stole the feces again?" Xu Bangning picked up the teacup and said unhappily.

"No." Xu Kun shook his head and sighed, "I dreamed that my eldest brother and third brother turned into excrement."

"Pfft..." Xu Bangning sprayed him all over and laughed heartily, "Even if you are mad at them for not saving you, you can't curse your brothers to turn into shit!"

"Yeah, that's right. They don't even know how happy they are." Xu Kun laughed at himself and said, "Why should a dung picker like me worry about that?"

Then he pushed the door open and went out.

In the small courtyard, two manure carts were parked quietly.

Xu Kun bent down and pushed the car on the left, urging: "The daybreak is getting earlier and earlier, don't dawdle."

"I say, you, Xu Lao Er, how come you fell in love with this line of work?" Xu Bangning walked out depressedly and also picked up another bicycle. "I let you go home during the Chinese New Year last year, why don't you go back?"

"Hometown, can I go back?" Xu Kun looked melancholy and said like a philosopher: "Only here can I find peace."

"That's right." Xu Bangning nodded in agreement. His mother believed that his eldest brother's position was as stable as Mount Tai, and even she had to flatter him. Zheng judged others by herself and always felt that her son would be safer on Xishan Island.

Er Xu, who was also a dung dumper in Tianya, pushed the dung cart out of the yard, came to the neat military camp avenue, and then parted ways.

At dawn in Songjiang, the government finally opened the city gate after a night of searching without success.

Amid the sound of bells, the manure cart slowly drove towards the west gate of the city.

"Excuse me, please don't touch your clothes!" The old man driving the cart reminded loudly while carefully controlling the animals.

Passersby covered their noses and hid away. It had just rained on the street, and the smell of the newly brewed golden juice was particularly strong in the fresh air.

The people waiting in line at the city gate for inspection did not care about the order of arrival and let the manure carts pass first.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" The small flag guarding the city gate waved his hand quickly, signaling his men to remove the roadblocks.

The constable of the governor's office nearby covered his nose and asked, "Don't we need to check this?"

"Old Man Shi has been pouring incense for so many years that everyone recognizes him." Xiao Qi said in a muffled voice.

"Look at this surname..." The constable muttered and said no more nonsense.

Old Man Shi apologized and thanked, and carefully pulled the manure cart out of the city gate. Seeing his nervous look, the constable could not help but nod secretly. He was a steady man and knew that the things inside could not be spilled.

It was not until they were far out of the city that Old Man Shi breathed a sigh of relief and drove the mule cart into the pine forest beside the road.

"Whoa..." Old Man Shi stopped the car and hit the two dung buckets in the middle with his whip.

"It's safe, come out."

Before he could finish his words, two barrel lids were blown off at the same time, and two minions jumped out.

The two minions lay on the ground and vomited violently, even vomiting out gall.

"What a ruthless pair." Old Man Shi shook his head, picked up a ladle, and scooped water from the bucket to wash the two men.

Only then did he see the faces of the two men clearly. They were the Xu brothers who were on the run.

What a good trick to hide the truth and sneakily carry out the manure truck!

The two men promised the old man all the gold they had in exchange for two VIP seats to leave the city.

After the transaction, the old man dropped a bag of clothes and hurriedly drove away.

He was obviously worried about being discovered by the government, but in the eyes of the Xu brothers, it was a different story.

"Even the night incense seller thinks we stink." Xu Ying said sadly, "Brother, we are not clean anymore..."

"Oh, it's all your fault. You always make fun of the second brother for being a night-scented woman. Now we two have become the night-scented women. Let's see how you still have the nerve to make fun of him?" Xu Fan spat, but it still sounded awful. He heard the sound of water splashing in the distance.

The two brothers followed the sound and of course did not forget to pick up the bag of clothes... That was because Xu Fan knew that he would have nothing to wear even if he left the city, so he asked the old man to buy two sets of old clothes and shoes.

Not far away, they saw a clear stream. The two were overjoyed and didn't care whether it was cold or not. They took off all their clothes and jumped into the water to scrub themselves. They wanted to scrub off the skin on their bodies.

After washing for half an hour, the smell on their bodies became much lighter, and only then did they feel the cold.

But when they trembled and came ashore, they were surprised to find that not only the bag of clothes was missing, but also the jade articles hidden in it before going into the water.

That's their travel expenses to Huzhou!

Even the dirty clothes they took off were gone. No one knew whether they were washed away by the water or picked up by someone.

The two were completely dumbfounded. Not only were they penniless, they were also **. What should they do?

"Why don't you hide the bag?" Xu Fan angrily scolded his little brother who was looking for grass leaves to cover his body.

"Blame me again? Wasn't it you who took the bag?" The little brother was jumping up and down in anger.

"Fuck it!" Xu Fan spat fiercely: "He doesn't even let go of clothes that are stained with shit."

"Brother, what should we do?" Xu Ying looked around. This place was actually not far from the official road. Through the shadows of the trees, he could vaguely see carriages passing by.

"If it really doesn't work, let's go ask for some clothes to wear, shall we?"

"Do you still have any shame?!" Xu Fan was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"It's not embarrassing enough, but you will freeze to death at night." Xu Ying told the truth.

"A-choo..." Let alone at night, Xu Fan felt like he was freezing to death. Finally, he nodded with difficulty: "Okay."

"Let's go!" Xu Ying couldn't wait to rush to the road.

"Wait!" Xu Fan called out to him, then scooped up a handful of mud from the river and slapped it on his face.

"What are you doing?!" Xu Ying was stunned and said angrily: "I just washed it!"

"If you can't cover your body, at least cover your face!" Xu Fan said in a low voice.

"Ah, that makes sense. As long as others can't recognize us, we won't be embarrassed!" Xu Ying agreed with this and quickly scooped up a handful of black mud and smeared it on Xu Fan's face.

Now that they had started, the two of them didn't care whether they were dirty or not and covered their bodies with black mud.

The two brothers looked at each other and were delighted. Not only could it cover their shame, but it could also keep them warm.

After observing for a long time on the roadside, I saw a caravan of merchants driving a bullock cart passing by. The leader seemed quite friendly.

The two men bravely walked out of the woods, bowed repeatedly and begged for clothes to wear.

"Hey, whose Kunlun slave is missing?" The leader hit the two men twice and said happily, "Catch them quickly, we can sell them for a lot of money!"

"We are not..." The two of them hurriedly explained.

"If they can speak Ming language, they are even more valuable!" The guys happily rushed forward, pinned the two men under them, tied them up tightly, gagged them, put them into sacks, and then threw them into the box on the ox cart.

There was a sack in the box that was constantly squirming, and it was obvious that more than just the two of them were caught.

The identity of this group of people became clear.

"When luck comes, it can't be stopped." The head of the gang said happily, "You can pick up money even when you walk on the street!"

"Hahaha!" A few guys laughed strangely and drove the ox cart away gradually.
