The only puzzling thing is that all criminals exiled in this dynasty were subject to tattooing.
Depending on the crime, different words were carved on the faces of the exiled prisoners.
But the Ji family was not insulted by this.
Ji Changying was very glad that she did not receive this punishment. If she really met someone who carved words on her face, whoever started first would probably die first.
Fortunately, nothing irreversible happened. After all, she didn't want to be a fugitive or a refugee.
I don't want to implicate the whole family.
Today, Ji Changying walked along the roadside as usual, and dug up some edible wild vegetables if she saw any.
Take the ones in the space when you run out of food.
After all, I heard that Liangzhou is bitterly cold all year round, and the further you go, the colder it gets.
There will be nothing to eat on the roadside by then.
She was lucky today, as she actually saw a patch of wood ear vegetables growing on the roadside!
There was some surprise on Ji Changying's face.
Basella alba, scientific name Basella alba.
It is an annual, herbaceous twining vine. Its stems and leaves are rich in vitamins and can be stir-fried, eaten cold or made into soup.
The important thing is that it can clear away heat and detoxify.
To be honest, I have been barely surviving on dry food during these days of exile.
In order to hurry on our way, we only had enough time at night to eat something decent.
After a few days, everyone...successfully became constipated.
It makes her want to cry just talking about it, and she feels the same way.
Seeing the wood ear vegetable at this moment, her eyes lit up and she rushed over directly, pinching only the tender tips on the top.
Two yamen runners glanced at him and turned their heads as if nothing had happened.
These days, Ji Fengshou sends a portion of wild vegetables picked by Ji Changying every night.
After a few days, although the group of officials still lacked any humanity, they became familiar with Ji Fengshou.
They also knew that Ji Fengshou's wife and daughter were both very strong, but had mental problems.
Not only are they unreasonable, but they might also fight back when they get violent. Three or five people can't beat them.
This news was naturally leaked by Ji Fengshou intentionally or unintentionally.
After the officials observed Zhou and Ji Changying's behavior for two days, they also believed it.
After all, these officers had never seen any women carrying bags and striding in front, and from time to time they were carrying someone on their backs, without changing their expressions or breathing heavily all day long.
So now when he saw Ji Changying running around and "playing" all the way, he just pretended not to see it.
Anyway, no matter what it is, they will definitely have a share, and this silly girl won't run away, so they might as well just ignore it and not be bothered.
But other people don’t get such good treatment.
Someone had seen Ji Changying running to pick something before, and thinking that the officials had tacitly agreed, they followed him to pick something.
The yamen runner whipped her with a whip, causing her to cry out in disbelief, shouting, "Why didn't you whip her?"
The officer who whipped her lashed her again: "She is a fool, and you too?"
In this way, in addition to Ji Changying obtaining privileges, the fact that she had mental problems also became well-known throughout the exile team.
Seeing that the team was getting a little far away, Ji Changying put the unpicked wood ear vegetables into the space.
It's a pity to let go of such a good thing.
Looking at the bare ground, she jumped up and down with satisfaction and handed the vegetables to Mrs. Hu as if she was presenting a treasure.
Bad luck today.
They waited until the sun disappeared, but their team still hadn't found a river to rest.
Many people had difficulty seeing at night, and the entire team began to stumble.
Zhang Ziwei had no choice but to order everyone to rest after seeing an open area.
As soon as he finished giving the order, Sun Fan came over, surrounded by a group of yamen runners: "Don't distribute dry food to these lowly people tonight."
"If we don't send them, they won't have the energy to travel tomorrow. Neither you nor I can afford to delay their journey."
Sun Fan's face was full of ferocity: "I said not to make money, so I won't! I've been gone for several days, and I haven't made any money at all. Don't think that I'm afraid of you because I listened to you these days. If you dare to delay my fortune, I will make you pay for it!"
Zhang Ziwei's expression remained unchanged after hearing this.
He had already expected this scene.
If this person hadn't had diarrhea a few days ago, he probably wouldn't have been so quiet.
Now it's time to start looking for something to do.
But what Sun Fan said was also a good thing for him.
"Okay! Since you said that, I'll give you face, but you can't take all the money, otherwise I won't be easy to mess with."
A cold light flashed in Zhang Ziwei's eyes, and his hand touched the hilt of the knife slung around his waist.
Who does this job not to make money?
If Sun Fan dared to cut off his life, he wouldn't mind killing him.
Sun Fan's expression changed.
He is not a novice, so he naturally understands it.
Even though the yamen runners are surrounding him now, if they don't get anything on this trip.
I'm afraid that these people will be the first to attack him when the time comes.
"Okay, no problem! We are all brothers, so I won't eat alone." Sun Fan said with a forced smile.
Zhang Ziwei glanced at him and walked away without saying anything.
The exiles waited for a long time, but the officials did not come to distribute dry food.
Zhang Ziwei stood there and banged the gongs and drums. "Listen to me! We don't have enough food, so we don't have any dry food today. We won't have anything to eat until we get to the next county government office. You'll have to figure out what to do these next few days."
As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd exploded.
I couldn't replenish my water while resting tonight, and now I don't even have any dry food left.
I didn't even have a chance to drink water because I was so hungry.
"From now on, it's the same as before. One person from each family will go out to find food! If someone is missing from the household during the evening roll call, you know the consequences!"
After Zhang Ziwei gave his orders, a group of yamen runners stared at them closely.
"Sir! We have no water or food and we won't be able to start our journey tomorrow!"
"That's right. We rely on this little bit of dry food to get through the day. Look at me now, I don't have much weight on me."
"Sir..."
"Sir..."
A group of people surrounded the yamen runner and expressed their reluctance in a flurry of words.
The yamen runners who were surrounded were not angry and said loudly: "Our cooks made these things. If anyone needs them, please buy some."
These people are now the God of Wealth!
It's just a small matter so don't crack the whip for now.
Hearing this, the crowd fell silent.
The bailiff sneered and said, "Those who are not needed should disperse and stay out of the way, or I'll whip you."
Ji Changying volunteered to go find some food at home as soon as Zhang Ziwei said there was no dry food today.
Because of her behavior in the past few days, no one in the family had any objection.
She carried her small bag and went straight into the woods.
Fruits and vegetables are essential every day, so she took some green vegetables and wild grapes and put them in her bag.
Just as she was about to hunt some game, she suddenly heard screams coming from nearby.
She used her special ability to take a look and immediately rushed over.
