Chapter 7 [The hope of the whole class! ]
Jiang Lili looked into the backpack and found an "Ele.me" takeout bag inside.
This was the porridge she had just asked Xiaopang to buy in the group. Mrs. Yang needed to eat some liquid food.
Takeout is fast!
Jiang Lili took out the porridge from the cylindrical paper box with "Auntie Ling's Porridge Shop" written on it.
She originally wanted to ask Xiaopang to order a bowl of chicken soup for takeout, but then she thought that Yang was so weak that it would be bad for her health if she ate too much nourishing food at the beginning.
Jiang Lili glanced at Yang who was lying there. The exiles were not like the yamen runners who had tents to live in. They could just spread a piece of cloth on the ground as a bed. How could Yang get better like this?
He still had to discuss countermeasures with Guan Yue, the leader of the mountain bandits who came to support him. Now that he had a backpack, food was not a problem. The most important thing was that he could have a good rest.
Jiang Lili unpacked the tableware and asked Xin Che, "Can mother have the vegetable and lean meat porridge now?"
Xin Che looked at the porridge in Jiang Lili's hand and nodded.
"Okay, then I'll feed Mom now. She hasn't eaten anything in the past few days."
Jiang Lili was about to stand up, but Xin Che forced her to sit down.
He took the bowl from Jiang Lili's hand and said, "Rest. I'll take care of Mother."
"I'm sorry to have troubled you today."
Xin Che took out a mat from his bag, made a "bed" for Jiang Lili, and used clothes to make a small pillow for Jiang Lili.
Although the conditions are simple, the mat is still very clean and you can smell the fresh scent of soapberries.
Jiang Lili was indeed tired. The amount of exercise she had done today was the total amount she had done in the past month as a social animal. She did not refuse and fell asleep immediately. She fell into a sound sleep in a short while.
Xin Che put his clothes on Jiang Lili, and then went to feed Yang porridge.
Although it was the first night after the time travel, Jiang Lili slept inexplicably peacefully.
Have a good night.

The next morning, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, the yamen runners told everyone to get up and set off.
"Hurry up and get up for me!"
Wang Zifu urged the yamen runners to chase the people away one by one.
"We need to hurry to the post station to take over. Bandits often appear in the area between Yanzhou and Linzhou."
There were more than 60 exiled prisoners in this group. In addition to the lineage of Zhaoping Marquis, there were also prisoners who were exiled for crimes such as corruption, bribery, and private discussion of state affairs.
There were ten yamen runners escorting the prisoners, and in addition, a cargo horse was prepared to pull a cart. On the cart were the yamen runners' daily food, clothing, grain, cooking utensils, tents, etc.
The convicts ate coarse bread and thin rice soup, while the yamen runners cooked their own meals. Although they were all on the road, their living conditions were very different.
The residents of this era only ate two meals a day, morning and evening.
The exiles' breakfast today was a brown rice cake, and children had half that. They were busy rushing to the post station today, and the yamen runners drove the exiles on their way after they had their meal.
The climate in early autumn was still mild, and the exile team was not troubled by the bad weather.
The people from Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion had a big meal last night, and today they had some chocolate and candy given by Jiang Lili to replenish their energy, so they had the strength to take turns carrying Yang.
The chief of the yamen runners, Wang Zifu, did not say anything when he saw this. After all, this would not delay the exile team's journey.
Getting up early is nothing for Jiang Lili. Before she traveled through time, she was a real office worker. She used to get up at this time to avoid the morning rush hour when commuting to work. She would also make a lunch box to bring to the company, which saved her money on a meal.
Thinking of the days when she worked like a slave, Jiang Lili thought optimistically that now that she had traveled through time, at least she didn't have to attend meetings or work overtime to pay for the rent, and apart from the fact that she was prone to death, she didn't have any other worries.
If she could arrive in Yazhou safely, she could start her retirement life of farming and retirement. Thinking of this, Jiang Lili became cheerful again.
After about an hour's journey, the "Ding Ding Ding" group message alert rang.
@张小胖: Sister Li, I put breakfast in your backpack!
The next moment, Jiang Lili felt that the backpack on her back had become heavier.
She touched the butterfly-carved gold hairpin hidden in her sleeve. Fortunately, the original owner had a few ornaments and nine silver leaves hidden on her body, otherwise she would not know how to repay the fat brother.
When the Zhaoping Marquis's mansion was ransacked, there were soldiers watching and they could not take away any valuables. The silver leaves were used by the original owner to reward his servants.
Jiang Lili thought that since Xiaopang could feed her, could she also send some food to Xiaopang through the backpack?
Thinking of this, she reached out and threw the hairpin into the backpack.
The silver leaves will be needed for travel, and the gold hairpin is valuable and difficult to sell, so it would be useless to keep it on your body. It would be better to give it to Xiaopang. The money I could get from this hairpin in modern times would probably be enough to support Xiaopang for a while.
There was no sound when the things were thrown into the backpack. Jiang Lili was about to take off the backpack to see what was going on when the group message rang again!
@Zhang Xiaopang: Oh my god, a gold hairpin! The 24K pure gold is blinding! Sister Li, did you teleport this?
Jiang Lili breathed a sigh of relief and replied to Zhang Xiaopang.
@Jiang Lili: Thank you, Xiaopang brother. Things aren't going so well right now, so take this hairpin. I'm really sorry for asking you to buy so many things.
@Zhang Xiaopang: What's the big deal? You saved our lives, so I can't accept your hairpin. While our seafood business is being affected by the nuclear wastewater, it's not going to go bankrupt immediately.
@Jiang Lili: I'm going into exile in Haizhou, the desolate island at the southernmost tip of the Great Sheng Dynasty. It's over three thousand miles away. You'd better accept it. I'll definitely need to buy you things in the future.
etc!
After Jiang Lili sent this message, a light bulb suddenly flashed on her head. The sea in this dynasty was not polluted by nuclear waste water. It was pure natural and pollution-free!
Sure enough, someone soon shared the same idea as Jiang Lili.
@Yan Chaoyue (Grassland Khan): After Li Li safely arrives in Haizhou, won't she be able to provide Xiao Pang with fresh, unpolluted seafood in a backpack?!
@Hou Xiaoxiao (Princess of Jin): I have a concubine in my mansion who's from Lingnan. Yesterday, she mentioned that Haizhou has abundant seafood and delicious fish. It's just that Haizhou is so desolate and remote that the seafood spoils when it's sent to Lingnan.
@Deputy Squad Leader (Eunuch Manager): Great! Xiaopang, you're really sleepy, someone hand you a pillow!
Zhang Xiaopang was obviously very excited by the news and took a long time to send the message.
@Zhang Xiaopang: Sister Li, I can't accept this hairpin. You're our family's hope now! You must reach Haizhou safely!
@Hou Xiaoxiao (Princess of Jin): Not only that, Li Li, you're the hope of our entire class! I'm counting on you to provide us with the entire ancient logistics system in the future, and have Zhang Xiaopang "buy it for us"!
Before Hou Xiaoxiao traveled through time, she worked as an urban white-collar worker and relied on a cup of iced American coffee every morning to stay alive. Now that she can't drink it anymore, she feels uncomfortable all over.
Everyone sent several messages to pray for Jiang Lili, and also tagged Guan Yue, who was geographically closest to Jiang Lili.
@张小胖: Sister Guan Yue, I'm leaving Sister Li in your care. Tell me what you want, and I'll be there for you! @关悦]
After a while, Guan Yue popped up in the group and asked Jiang Lili about the specific situation of the exiled team.
Jiang Lili told them about Madam Yang's illness. In fact, everyone in Zhaopinghou needed a good rest, but it was impossible for them to do so as exiles.
The original owner's body was that of a pampered young lady from the Shangshu Mansion. She would be out of breath after running a few steps, not to mention being hungry for several days. Xin Che and Marquis Zhaoping also had injuries on their bodies.
Being a yamen runner was a tough job, but they could squeeze some fat and fat out of the convicts to make some subsidies.
There were many uneducated ruffians among those who were willing to do this job. When they saw that the Marquis Zhaoping's mansion was in trouble, they wanted to take advantage of it to show off their power. Even the five-year-old Xin Yan was slapped several times and his face was pinched until it was red and swollen.
After communicating the situation with Jiang Lili, Guan Yue slapped her thigh and came up with a solution!
