Chapter 205: Confiscation and Exile Control Group 11
After hearing this, the family members all nodded in agreement!
After knowing my own strength, I felt more at ease.
As long as they speed up and walk farther, their family will no longer have to suffer!
After breakfast, just as the water bag was filled, the officers began to wave their whips and urge the prisoners to set off!
"Everyone, get up and get going! If you can't reach the next stop by noon, you won't get to rest at noon!"
Some people have weaker constitutions and were already very tired yesterday. On top of that, they slept in the wilderness last night, so they really couldn't get out of bed during the day today.
Among them is Pei Zhilang’s biological sister, Pei Moli!
Pei Moli is a concubine's daughter. Although the eldest lady does not treat her harshly, she completely ignores her!
As for her aunt, she valued Pei Zhilang, the male, more, and gave all the cakes that were distributed to them to Pei Zhilang.
The little girl's health was not good to begin with. She had been living in fear in prison for several days. In addition, she had to travel all day yesterday and had to hold Pei Zhilang in her arms from time to time.
Look, I couldn’t get up this morning!
The officers didn't care about that. They were not surprised at all to see so many people lying motionless on the ground. After a few whips, they all stood up trembling and started on their way!
Pei Moer also stood up!
But her complexion was obviously not right. Pei Xinlan looked like she had a fever!
But Pei Moli is from the eldest wife's family, her parents are both here, so it's not worth it for a cousin from the next room to worry about her!
While the officers were urging the prisoners to hurry up, they were also talking: "Don't think you are still the masters and mistresses, young masters and young ladies as before.
You are now exiled prisoners!
There are no doctors here to treat you. Don't pretend to be dead. As long as you are still alive, you have to bear it.
It is normal for some people to die during the exile.
If you want to suffer less, you'd better be more self-disciplined!
If you fail to reach the place of exile on time, I'll see if I can spare any of you!"
The prisoners' minds were as clear as mirrors, and they all told the truth.
It would be a waste to die on the road of exile. No matter how much strength you have left, you must persevere!
Even though their legs felt like they were filled with lead, they all tried their best to move forward.
On both sides of the team were ferocious-looking officers riding horses and wielding whips.
The whip made a "crackling" sound as it swung in the air. Anyone who walked slowly would be whipped, and the prisoners' steps would immediately speed up.
However, today's speed is obviously not as fast as yesterday.
Pei Xinlan and her family moved very fast because they had hope in their hearts and the pills were placed in the water.
He didn't rush to the front, but the distance between him and the Pei family's main house was getting farther and farther!
The strengthening pills were gradually taking effect, and the people from the second house were getting more and more energetic!
After walking for another two days, when they were about to rest in the evening, they saw two puppets carrying a basket full of steamed buns and handing it to the servants!
The officer took the steamed buns and shouted to everyone, "I see that many of you can't get used to eating black-faced steamed buns!
I'm not a cruel person, and I hope you can all reach the place of exile smoothly!
Don’t say that I don’t take care of you. I’ve prepared these big white steamed buns for you. They cost five taels of silver each. If you need them, just bring the money and buy them!
This is the only basket of steamed buns we have, while they last!"
Exile everyone: "..."
This price is really expensive!
The steamed buns on the market only cost two or three cents each, but his mouth costs five taels!
But even though it was ridiculously expensive, these exiles couldn't do anything about it.
They are not putting a knife to your neck to force you to buy it. If you don’t have money, they are not willing to serve you!
When their houses were raided, many people secretly hid some gold and silver on their bodies.
In addition, when we were seeing them off outside the city, many relatives and friends brought money, so most people still had some money in their pockets!
Although the price tag is shockingly high, the worst thing about everything is comparison!
No matter how expensive this steamed bun is, it’s not as expensive as the one that doesn’t even have a price!
These people who used to live a life of luxury have already eaten up the dry food given by their relatives and friends in the past two days. The black-faced steamed bread is really hard to swallow!
If you are not in good health and cannot keep up with your food and drink, you will never be able to reach the place of exile!
I had to bite the bullet and buy two so that the whole family could try a different flavor.
After the puppets delivered the steamed buns to the officers, they left a separate backpack for them.
It was obvious that the meat and vegetables there were specially prepared as a gift to the servants.
While everyone was focusing on the steamed buns, he quietly took another backpack and gave it to Pei Xinlan without anyone noticing.
There's nothing out of the ordinary in there.
A bag of steamed buns, a bag of dried meat, a small bag of rice, a dozen boiled eggs, a jar of pickles, and a small bag of salt!
These are things that are convenient for them to eat on the road, and they won’t emit a strong smell and cause trouble!
During the break, other families were cooking porridge. They saw it, so they thoughtfully sent rice to Pei Xinlan!
Master Pei Er took out a fifty-liang silver note and wanted to give it to the puppet. He said sincerely, "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. You must keep this money. I won't let you suffer any loss!"
The puppet didn't take the banknote from his hand, but didn't refuse it either. He said, "Second Master, we are truly grateful to the young lady for saving our lives, so we came here to repay her.
I also know that you really don't want us to suffer any loss!
This is not the time to talk, I appreciate your kindness.
There are still many places to spend money along the way. When you arrive at the place of exile and settle down, you can give me the money. I will definitely not refuse then.
Let's each take a step back now and get through this hurdle first before we talk about other things!
Second Master, please don't be so polite!"
After the puppet finished speaking, without waiting for the Pei family to say anything else, he turned around and walked quickly back to his donkey cart.
Master Pei Er was not in a position to chase after him. It would not be good if other prisoners saw them!
Madam Pei sighed, "We've received a great favor from him! You guys must never forget it!"
The Pei family members nodded in assurance.
From that day on, the people in the second house could finally live a good life without worries about food and drink.
Although I still have to walk this road step by step, at least I don’t have to suffer in terms of food and drink!
Occasionally you can drink delicious chicken soup and eat meat!
Some were given by puppets.
When you leave the crowd, you can sometimes catch a rabbit or a fish!
When she really couldn't catch it, Pei Xinlan would secretly release a farmed pheasant from an ordinary farm without spiritual space, and then guide her two brothers to catch the pheasant!
Occasionally release a few more so that other families can also find out that there is game. Otherwise, only your family can find it, which is so annoying!
