All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Chapter 21 Uncle and Aunt

Xie Wenjin followed up with an inquiry.

The two little guys looked at her with sparkling eyes.

His eyes were full of curiosity.

They have been well protected and educated, so even though they are in such adverse circumstances now, they do not complain about themselves or cry all day long.

Instead, I was in the mood to ask Xia Chan for confirmation.

If it were someone else, and was caught by his nephew together, he would definitely blush and his heart would beat fast.

But fortunately, this person is Xia Chan.

She is a person who lies to her children and has no guilt.

So she could lie without changing her expression: "Yes, uncle's health is not very good, auntie wants to observe uncle's health more closely."

When she finished speaking, not only the child took it seriously, but also the other people in the Xie family took it seriously.

"Xiao Chan, the third brother..."

The old lady spoke first.

His eyes were full of worry.

Xia Chan smiled slightly and said, "Grandma, don't worry too much."

Neither did he say that Xie Lin was good, nor did he say that Xie Lin was bad.

Anyway, just don't worry too much.

Old Madam Xie glanced at her eldest grandson lying on the cart. She could only sigh and nod.

"I hope that the third brother will be blessed by heaven, and that our Xie family will not be left with no one left..."

Mrs. Xie Su was not as brave and optimistic as the old lady. When she mentioned her son, she raised her hand and kept wiping her tears.

Seeing this, Xia Chan couldn't reveal anything to them.

"Get ready, we'll be on the road soon."

Xia Chan said to them.

Several people withdrew their thoughts and nodded.

Captain Gao, who had another night of love last night, came to Xia Chan and the others before the team set off.

When Captain Gao saw Xia Chan's itchy face, he was tempted for a moment.

Even the prince has never touched this woman. How great would it be if I touched her?

And her face is much more beautiful than Xia Yuanan's.

It must be very exciting to hear a woman like this scream, right?

Gao Putou is fantasizing.

But thinking of Xia Chan's viciousness, Captain Gao immediately dispelled the desperate thoughts in his mind.

He lowered his head and walked up with a smile on his face.

"Miss Xia, our team is about to set off. Do you have any instructions for today?"

His life is in Xia Chan's hands, so Captain Gao has to be extremely obedient.

Xia Chan said, "Captain Gao, we have been walking for a few days and have been spending the nights in the wilderness. Can we go to town to have a bowl of hot soup today?"

Although this seems like a request, Captain Gao actually has to do this.

Because his life is in Xia Chan's hands.

"Okay, okay, no problem, we'll stop at the next town and eat together."

"Thank you, Captain Gao."

Xia Chan thanked him politely and then had no intention of speaking to Captain Gao anymore.

Captain Gao also ordered the team to set off.

Just like yesterday, the things on the feet and hands were untied, and the team moved forward a little faster than before.

However, perhaps because the dew was too heavy in the second half of the night, many people in the team started coughing.

It was just a slight cough at first, but soon, the coughing became more and more frequent.

Xia Chan walked beside the cart, lowered her eyes to look at Xie Lin who had his eyes closed on the cart. Listening to the increasing coughing sounds, she couldn't help but frowned.

With so many people coughing, many people will definitely fall ill if they are not treated in time.

By that time, it would be wishful thinking for their team to speed up their progress.

Fortunately, Captain Gao also knew about this.

In the afternoon, they arrived at a post station forty miles away from where they had spent the night.

Captain Gao took out some change and asked the waiter at the post station to cook a big pot of ginger soup, and then asked the exiles to drink the ginger soup one by one.

"Give me more to drink."

Captain Gao was watching them eagerly from the side.

These officers and soldiers who are specifically in charge of exiles are actually rewarded.

And this reward is related to the number of prisoners sent to the exile site.

As stipulated above, in a team of 100 people, more than two-thirds of them can die.

If there are still 33 people left when they arrive at the place of exile, the escorting officers and soldiers will not be punished.

If there is punishment, there must be reward.

If a team of 100 people still has more than 60 prisoners at the place of exile, the captain of the police in charge of guarding them will be rewarded with 100 strings of cash.

One string of money is roughly equal to 0.33 taels of silver, three strings of money is equal to one tael of silver, and one hundred strings of money is equal to more than thirty taels of silver.

Don't underestimate these thirty taels of silver.

In an era when a pound of rice cost eight copper coins, one string of money cost three hundred copper coins, and one hundred strings of money could buy a lot of things.

Therefore, it is understandable that Captain Gao attaches great importance to not letting the prisoners die so quickly.

People in the queue lined up to drink ginger tea.

The summer cicada didn’t go.

You can tell at a glance that the black ginger tea contains black mud.

The waiter at the post station took the money from Captain Gao, but did not wash the ginger thoroughly. He just bought some ginger, chopped it up, and threw it into the pot to cook.

Some of them were not even washed.

This kind of thing, which is like feeding pigs, is eaten by summer cicadas?

impossible.

While everyone was over there, Xia Chan secretly took out a detoxification pill that melts in the mouth from the space clinic and stuffed it into Xie Lin's mouth.

Afraid that he couldn't swallow it, she pushed her thumb into his mouth.

She didn't think that Xie Lin had already woken up once in the morning, so when she saw Xie Lin swallowing himself, her eyes lit up slightly.

"Are you awake? Do you want something to eat?"

Xia Chan leaned over to Xie Lin's ear and whispered in his ear.

The warm breath sprayed on Xie Lin's ears.

Xie Lin only felt as if he was being bitten by countless ants, from his earlobes to his heart, and from his heart to his limbs.

There are ants drilling into every pore of the body.

The strange itchy feeling made him want to reach out and scratch it.

Go and catch the source of this evil.

Xie Lin didn't give her an answer.

But the body was tense.

Xia Chan blinked.
