Xu Dashan suppressed the blush on his face and continued.

"We went there to provide support, following the main force all the way. This battle was supposed to be a long one.

Ever since General Huo came, he has led his team to be invincible, and General Huo is also very handsome.

Apart from the emperor, the most perfect man in the world is probably just like this."

Hearing news about General Huo frequently, Xu Wenyan couldn't help but become interested in Huo Min, General Huo.

What kind of person can turn the tide by his own strength?

"Another thing is the environment over there. We went there in the summer, and the border is extremely hot in the summer. In the winter, we can often see heavy snow.

I heard that life outside the Great Wall is even more difficult.”

After listening to Xu Dashan talking about border matters for a while, the team stopped here.

"Take a break, we'll distribute the dry food soon." Manager Wu said.

Xu Wenyan leaned against a tree and closed his eyes to rest. Zhang Chao, his wife and children also sat down next to Xu Wenyan.

"Brother Xu, have something to eat. This is the dried sweet potatoes we dried ourselves. It can fill your stomach." Of course, there would be no good food to eat during exile.

When they set out on the road, everyone saw that the dry food was black steamed bread.

It’s so hard that you can crack walnuts.

"Brother Zhang, you guys keep it." Xu Wenyan saw that the bags Zhang Chao and his wife were carrying were not big, and there probably wasn't much food in them.

But he still thinks of himself at a time like this, which shows that he has a good heart.

"You think the ones we dried are not tasty enough? Try some." Zhang Chao stuffed three dried sweet potatoes into Xu Wenyan's hand and handed one to his daughter.

Then he began to watch the movements of the officers and soldiers.

As expected, each person could only get one black steamed bun.

Xu Wenyan put away the dried sweet potatoes that Zhang Chao gave her and took a bite of the steamed corn bread. The taste was that of coarse grains, which was quite acceptable.

But its hardness is comparable to that of a baguette.

This person has bad teeth and his teeth are about to break.

At this time, Xu Dashan came over with a cake and a kettle: "Wen Yan, come here."

"Thank you, big brother." Xu Wenyan took the pancake and broke off a small piece for Zhang Chao: "Give it to Qianqian, the steamed bread is too hard."

Zhang Chao looked at the small piece of cake that Xu Wenyan handed over, and his eyes turned red: "This..."

"Okay, I won't take your things for nothing."

What Xu Dashan gave was limited. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Wenyan had a backer, but he was neither a member of the Zhang family's main family nor had he offended them.

The others looked at it and said nothing. Of course, if they said anything, they might get beaten up.

There's no need to make yourself unhappy.

Here, Zhang Chengjin's family found a big rock to sit on, and the old man was placed in the middle.

"Dad, drink some water." Zhang Kai took out the few bottles of water and gave them to Old Man Zhang to drink. Along the way, he and his eldest son took turns serving the old man.

"Dad, Grandpa. Let's eat." The person who spoke was Zhang Chengshuo, the eldest son of the Zhang family who was away from home all year round.

Zhang Chengshuo follows Zhang Kai and is a bit stronger.

Just when his business outside was picking up, he received news from home. It would be a lie to say that he had no prejudice against his family.

"What is this? It's moldy. How can I eat it?" Zhang Qiaoer complained. She was the girl born to Zhang Kai's second wife.

Zhang Kai took such a concubine. There was only one girl, Zhang Qiaoer, in the family. She was fair and beautiful.

She is considered the apple of the Zhang family's eye.

It was also because the Zhang family spent a lot of money to prevent Zhang Qiaoer from being punished.

Madam Duan Er said softly, "Qiao'er, things are different now than they were in Zhang's house, so stop complaining so much."

"Alas." Zhang Chengshuo sighed heavily: "Second brother, you don't even think about the consequences. You have ruined our whole family."

"Okay, Shuo'er, you can't blame Cheng Jin for this. This is the result of the family discussion." Zhang Kai also had a worried look on his face at this time.

Gao Bin asked for more than 100,000 taels right away, and their family would have to sell everything they had to make up for the loss.

There are trees all around now. Even if I want to use my private savings to buy some, there is nowhere to sell them.

After a short rest, the exile team continued on their way.

Up to now, Xu Wenyan has not found any signs of Chen Sanlin and others.

But he believed that Brother Chen should not be far away from him.

The handcuffs on his ankles began to swing as he walked, and now they were slightly painful from the friction. With every step Xu Wenyan took, he wondered whether this person sentenced to exile could really reach the place of exile safely.

It was already afternoon when even Xu Wenyan, who was considered strong, could not bear it, let alone those who had been punished.

Countless people fainted on the road. Once they fell behind, they would be beaten by officers and soldiers, and then they would continue walking after they woke up.

"Wen Yan, hold on a little longer. We can rest in the temple after walking for a while." Xu Dashan wanted to support Xu Wenyan, but Xu Wenyan refused.

He can't just not act and use connections.

"Oooooh, Daddy. My legs hurt so much."

The crying sound came from Zhang Qianqian who was standing beside her. Xu Wenyan had actually noticed this little girl a long time ago. There were several times when this little girl was about to cry.

I just held back and didn't say anything.

Maybe this child really can't hold on any longer.

Zhang Chao picked up Zhang Qianqian with concern. Xu Wenyan had already noticed that his wrists were stained bloody from the friction of the handcuffs.

"Qianqian, be good. Daddy will hold you."

This kind of thing is very common in the exile team. Zhang Chao's family only has this one girl, and they still love her very much.

A little girl at the end of the team saw Zhang Qianqian in front of her being picked up by her father, so she looked up and glanced at her father.

Her mother is holding her brother, so it should be okay to let her father hold her for a while.

The girl carefully tugged at the man's clothes: "Daddy, I can't walk anymore."

The man turned his head with a tired look on his face: "Daddy is tired too, why can't you think about Daddy."

"Hurry up and hold Dabao. My hands are sore from holding him." The woman next to him rolled her eyes at the man, carefully handed her son to the man, and rubbed her arms.

"Be good, Dabao, let daddy hold you."

There are only about thirty people in the exile team, and Xu Wenyan can basically see everything that happens here.

He looked back at the little girl and shook his head helplessly.

The world today is really outrageous.

No family wants to have a girl, because when their own boy grows up they will be eager to find a wife.

What kind of perverse logic is this? Girls shouldn't wait until they get married and have children before they think about them.

If you have the ability, let the man give birth to his own child.

Although he is also a man, Xu Wenyan really feels that this world is crazy.

"There is a temple ahead. You can rest in the temple tonight." The government officials were not worried at all that these people would run away.

A person with a crime on his head can just run away, or he can live in the mountains for the rest of his life.
