Ren Xiaoxi wiped his face with his sleeve.
Later, the two followed Duan Yidao back to the village.
After Zhang Rushan arrived in the village, he hurried to find Zhu Wenyan. At this time, the school was over, Zhu Wenyan was cooking porridge in the kitchen, and Zhu Pingan was lighting a fire at the stove.
"Wenyan, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you." Zhang Rushan looked a little unhappy.
After Zhu Wenyan covered the pot, he wiped his hands and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's about your uncle..."
Zhang Rushan accompanied Ren Xiaoxi to the government dungeon today and found out that the swineherd had been exiled to Gusha City in the border state last year.
"Bianzhou? Gusha City?" Zhu Wenyan's face turned pale and he asked in a dry voice, "How far is it from here?"
When Zhang Rushan was at the county government office, he asked Master Wen, "It would take two months for a carriage to be exiled, and I'm afraid it would take half a year..."
There was a sound of a bowl falling to the ground from the kitchen. Zhu Wenyan turned around and saw Zhu Ping'an standing there in a daze, tears streaming down his face. "Dad..."
"Wasn't he imprisoned for five years?" Zhu Wenyan murmured, "The time is almost up, why is he exiled again?"

"Just because there's no food, you can just exile people!" Zhu Wenyan said angrily.
Zhang Rushan could understand him and just sighed.
Zhu Wenyan punched the wall. "What kind of world is this? Is there any justice? My uncle will be released in a year and be free again..."
After venting his anger, Zhu Wenyan asked, "Have you ever told my aunt?"
Zhang Rushan shook his head. He didn't know that Li Hongxia had returned to the county town. He just wanted to tell Zhu Wenyan no matter what.
"I'm going back to the county town." Zhu Wenyan said and pulled off his coat.
Zhang Rushan stopped him and said, "Don't worry, the city gate is closed now and you can't get in. Master Duan and I are going to the county town tomorrow, so it's safer for us to go together."
Zhu Wenyan nodded, walked to the kitchen and pulled Zhu Ping'an's hand.
"Cousin, will father die?" Zhu Ping'an asked with trembling lips.
Zhu Wenyan wiped his face and said, "No, uncle knows that we are all waiting for him, he will definitely live well."
