Quick Wear: After the spare tire awakens, the official partner is sacrificed to the heaven
Chapter 30: The Submissive Half-brother in the Exile Story (5)
Hearing Qi Chen's words, Jiang Zui hurriedly said, "Ah Chen, hold on for a while, I'll think of a way."
Qi Chen was tormented by him all night and walked for more than an hour today. As a spoiled boy, he had never walked for such a long time before.
Although he had water in his hand, he couldn't take it out directly.
Qi Chen shook his head obediently and refused: "Husband, no...I..."
He knew that what he said just now was to embarrass Jiang Zui, but it was just his subconscious response at the time.
The officers and soldiers had already explained to them that they would have two meals a day, each consisting of only one dry steamed bun.
Before Qi Chen could finish his words, Liu Yu in front of him shouted, "Master!"
Jiang Hongsheng fainted because of his unhealed wounds and heatstroke.
Jiang Zhou pushed Jiang Hongsheng to the ground with great effort, sweating profusely and exhausted.
Although Jiang Zhou was strong, he could not match Jiang Hongsheng, a big man weighing more than 150 pounds.
Jiang Zhou looked at Jiang Zui who was in a relaxed state, and couldn't help feeling indignant. He thought to himself: If he had known this earlier, he would not have bribed the officers and soldiers to let them remove his shackles.
It is more difficult to live without shackles than with shackles.
Liu Yu suddenly panicked, at a loss, and asked Jiang Zhou nervously, "Zhou Zhou, your father fainted, what should we do now?"
what to do? what to do!
How does he know what to do!
Jiang Zhou said coldly: "Wait."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the official, and said in a humble tone: "Sir, the weather is hot and dry, and we have been traveling for a long time. I am afraid that our bodies cannot bear it. Can you give us some water? Let us rest for a while first?"
The official looked at the scene behind him, the depressed and scattered crowd, all of them in a very miserable state, and frowned, "It's only been a short time, and it's already gone? There will be many more days like this in the future."
It takes three months to travel from the imperial city to Lingnan, during which time the exiled criminals have to travel every day.
Jiang Zhou had no choice but to take out the silver he had hidden, quietly handed it to the official, and said softly: "Please help me, sir."
Jiang Zhou originally wanted to take Zhao Xingyuan shopping in the morning, so he brought a lot of change, about fifty taels in total, plus a silver note for one hundred taels.
He used twenty taels of silver to buy himself the freedom from body search and shackles.
There were still thirty taels of silver and a silver note for one hundred taels left.
The official took it and looked at the silver in his hand. His expectant look dimmed instantly and he said disdainfully, "Is that all you have?"
Jiang Zhou cried poorly, "Please forgive me, sir, I only have this much on me, I can't give you more."
"alright."
After saying this, the official shouted to the crowd: "There is a river two miles ahead. When you get there, you can get water on your own and rest for a quarter of an hour."
The official had walked this road to Lingnan several times, and he had planned to let people rest there.
When everyone heard the official's words, their eyes suddenly lit up and they became excited.
And Jiang Zhou's two taels of silver were not wasted, as the official gave him a water bag to store water.
Jiang Zui, who was standing in the corner, looked at Qi Chen who was working hard beside him, "Ah Chen, there is something in my arms that makes me itchy. Can you help me take it out?"
Qi Chen obeyed obediently and took out a small piece of candy. He was stunned when he saw the strangely packaged thing and asked in a low voice: "Husband, is this... candy?"
"Well, I hid it specially for you." Jiang Zui replied.
This piece of candy was taken out from Jiang Zui's space. I don't know which world Jiang Zui got it from.
Qi Chen's peach blossom eyes narrowed happily, leaving two crescent shapes, and she smiled and said, "Thank you, husband."
After saying that, Qi Chen opened the package and wanted to divide it into two halves.
Seeing this, Jiang Zui refused and said, "I don't need it, you can eat it all."
His body could still take it.
Upon seeing this, Qi Chen quietly put the candy into his own mouth and threw away the candy wrapper when no one was paying attention.
Qi Chen was eating candy and looked like a stealing kitten, so cute.
Qi Chen leaned closer to Jiang Zui and whispered, "So sweet."
Jiang Zui's lips curled up slightly, with warmth in his eyes.
Now that Qi Chen had candy, he no longer felt tired.
When they reach the river, the prisoners are allowed to move freely for a stick of incense.
If the prisoners want to store water, they can remove the shackles first and then lock them again after returning.
In fact, Jiang Zui could also spend money to remove the shackles and handcuffs on his body like Jiang Zhou did.
But he didn't want to carry Jiang Hongsheng on his back. He planned to remove the shackles after Jiang Hongsheng's injuries healed and he could walk on his own.
Jiang Zui asked Qi Chen to go to Yin Yue, stay there quietly and have a good rest while he went to find a way to get water.
Jiang Zui didn't drink water from the river because he was afraid that it might contain bacteria and would cause diarrhea.
I took the water from the space and filled a water bag.
It’s funny that every exiled prisoner had his own water bag to prevent infectious diseases from spreading during the journey.
When Jiang Zhou saw that everyone had a water bag in their hands, his eyes almost popped out of his head. He went to the official to question him, but was whipped by the official instead.
"Here, drink it quickly." Jiang Zui drank a lot of water while no one was around.
Qi Chen looked at the water bag in front of him and asked, "Did you drink it?"
"Drank it."
Seeing Jiang Zui had finished drinking, Qi Chen opened the water bag, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. Qi Chen drank the entire bag of water until there was almost nothing left.
"I'll go get some more." Jiang Zui saw Qi Chen had finished drinking and wanted to go to the 'river' to get some more.
"Yeah." Qi Chen nodded.
Jiang Zui patted Qi Chen on the head and turned to leave.
After Jiang Zui left, Yin Yue smiled and said to Qi Chen: "Brother-in-law is so good to you, you must be more considerate of him along the way."
Qi Chen told Yin Yue how he had acted like a spoiled child towards Jiang Zui on the road, and how Jiang Zui had secretly given him candy.
"Got it, Dad."
The Qi family had Qi Zhan and Qi Ze to store water, so they didn't get thirsty.
Instead, after Jiang Zui refilled the water and handed the two water bags to Qi Chen, Liu Yu came over with a dissatisfied look on his face and said, "Xiao Zui, your father is seriously ill, and your second brother was whipped by the soldiers. We in the mansion are counting on you."
"Yes, yes." Jiang Hongsheng's concubine echoed, "Master, your brothers are still young, and we are old. You are the only one in the whole mansion who can help us."
Jiang Zui was disdainful in his heart. His concubine Zhang Yuansi was sweet-looking and less than 30 years old, so he was not old at all. Even Liu Yu was only 40 years old.
"Mother and Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about? We are all family, why do you have to be so polite? How about this, I will take my sixth brother and my youngest brother to get some water together."
"Xiaozui, how can a brother like you, the sixth brother, go and fetch water?"
"Master, Xiaoxuan is still young and can't do such hard work."
Oh! Hard... work...
If you don't want to do it, just say so. Why make it sound so high-sounding?
Girls as old as Jiang Li can all go to fetch water, but why can't Jiang Li go?
Speaking of Jiang Xuan, he is already thirteen years old. When the original owner was thirteen years old, he could cook by himself.
Before the original owner was fifteen years old, he had no servants and ate leftovers. After that, he learned to cook by himself.
