Quick Wear: After the spare tire awakens, the official partner is sacrificed to the heaven

Chapter 35: The Submissive Half-brother in the Exile Story (10)

"Where do you want to sleep?" Jiang Zui asked instead of answering.

"I...I don't know." Qi Chen hesitated, "It's so dark outside. Will there be bugs when I sleep at night? Will it rain?"

It was summer, the weather was hot and rainy, and Qi Chen was afraid to rest on the ground in the open air without any shelter. What would he do if it rained?

"No." Jiang Zui's voice was firm, as if it really wouldn't rain.

Qi Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you know it won't rain? I looked at the sky and I'm afraid it's going to rain soon."

Qi Chen’s so-called astronomical phenomena were all nonsense. He didn’t even know whether it would rain or not. He just wanted to tease Jiang Zui.

"If I say I won't do it, then I won't do it." Jiang Zui raised his right hand and gently pinched Qi Chen's face.

Indeed, the weather is unstable and there may be heavy rain.

But in fact, the rain came after January.

For a whole month, there was no rain, not even a drizzle.

But after a month of drought, suddenly, heavy rain came from the sky and lasted for five days and five nights.

Because of the heavy rain, the team was quickly reduced to one-fifth.

As a result, other people in the Daxia region also suffered from the natural disaster. The population dropped sharply, the treasury was empty, and no disaster relief funds were allocated. This incident damaged the reputation and dignity of the Daxia royal family, and also paved the way for the later rebellion of the protagonists.

In the end, Jiang Zui did not let Qi Chen sleep outdoors, but spent some money to stay in the post station.

The officials' eyes widened when they saw the silver in Jiang Zui's hand.

The official knew Jiang Zui's identity, but he did not expect that he could come up with so much silver at once.

Although there were only five taels of silver, in the officials' view, Jiang Zui was able to survive the search and still take out the silver, and he was not conspicuous in the team and was good at hiding. Only such a person was worthy of opening a 'back door' for him.

Although, this 'backdoor' requires benefits.

Qi Chen looked at Jiang Zui without blinking, and after he took out the silver from his pocket, he was immediately stunned.

However, Qi Chen was careless. He thought that it was the money that Jiang Zui had secretly hidden, so he did not ask any further questions.

Jiang Zui and Qi Chen lay on the comfortable bed, covered with a soft quilt, and slowly fell asleep.

On the other hand, Jiang Zhou didn't have much silver left, and he was afraid that he would have to spend more silver later on, so he didn't use the silver to buy a house. Instead, he took a rest near the post station.

Although Jiang Zhou did not spend money to buy the room, he spent ten taels of silver to hire a doctor and bought the best wound medicine, which he applied to Jiang Hongsheng and also to himself.

Although the previous whip from the officer only injured his skin and flesh, he still had to ensure his body was intact in this uncertain journey, only then would he have a chance.

He didn't want to carry Jiang Hongsheng on his back anymore, so he just hoped that Jiang Hongsheng's injury would heal quickly.

Liu Yu, Jiang Li and others were dissatisfied with the place Jiang Zhou arranged for them and became angry. "Second brother, how can we sleep in this crappy place?"

Jiang Zhou fell from heaven to hell overnight. He was also exhausted after carrying Jiang Hongsheng for the whole afternoon. He didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Li and said directly, "If you don't want to sleep, you can find a place to sleep by yourself."

"Second brother, you..." Jiang Li frowned when he heard Jiang Zhou's cold tone. What happened? Why did Jiang Zui and his second brother change?

If it were in the past, my second brother would never be so cruel to me.

"That's enough. I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now. Don't even think about me spending money to buy you a room. All my money has been used to treat my father's injuries. If you want to live somewhere better, find a way yourself. I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep first."

After Jiang Zhou finished speaking, he leaned against a big tree and closed his eyes.

Jiang Li opened his mouth and was about to speak when Liu Yu interrupted him, "Li Li, your brother has been very hard today."

After hearing this, Jiang Li stopped talking.

The Qi family was not prepared, so they did not have any silver on them. They had to find a temporary residence near the post station like Jiang Zhou and others.

Fortunately, except Yin Yue who is a boy, the others are all men.

Jiang Zui also thought about it at first, whether he should let the Qi family live in the room as well, but then he thought it was too high-profile, so he gave up the idea.

On the second day, at daybreak, the soldiers called Jiang Zui and Qi Chen, "Brother Jiang, Brother Qi, we are about to set off."

After last night's chat, Jiang Zui already knew the leading officials and some officers and soldiers. "Thank you, sir. We will get up now."

After hearing Jiang Zui's answer, the officers and soldiers outside the room left.

Perhaps because he was too tired from walking yesterday, Qi Chen had not woken up yet. Jiang Zui looked at the time and could not delay any longer, so he woke Qi Chen up with all his heart, "Ah Chen, wake up, wake up, we are leaving."

Hearing the voice, Qi Chen slowly opened his eyes, drooped his ears, and looked like he hadn't woken up yet. He crawled into Jiang Zui's arms, hugged Jiang Zui's waist with both hands, and said coquettishly: "Husband, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."

Jiang Zui looked at Qi Chen acting like a spoiled child, and his heart was too soft to look at, but he could not help but persuade him softly: "Ah Chen, be good and listen. We should get up, otherwise the soldiers will come over and whip you."

When Qi Chen heard the whip cracking, he instantly sat up from Jiang Zui's arms.

Yesterday, the officers and soldiers dealt with a lot of disobedient people, and Qi Chen was traumatized by this.

Jiang Zui and Qi Chen packed up and had breakfast with the officers and soldiers at the post station before gathering together.

After the officers and soldiers finished counting the names, they found that two people were missing. Without a trace of anger on their faces, they waved their hands. Then, four officers and soldiers placed the bodies of the two people in front of everyone and said:

“Did everyone see it?

"Zhao Xiao and Zhao Da tried to escape last night when it was dark and windy, but were caught by soldiers and executed on the spot."

As soon as these words were spoken, people in the team began to discuss.

The leading official gave everyone enough time to talk, and after a long while, he spoke up, "Everyone, be quiet. Zhao Xiao and Zhao Da deserved to be put to death. If there are more incidents like what happened to Zhao Da and Zhao Xiao, this will be the outcome."

“As long as everyone is obedient and follows us, we will be free after we reach Lingnan.

That’s all I have to say. What you do will depend on your actual actions.

Now that everyone is here, let’s go.”

After saying this, the official left the post station first, followed by a huge crowd of people, and no one paid any attention to the two bodies on the ground.

It was also because of this incident that those in the team who wanted to escape gave up the idea and followed the troops obediently.

After the team had been walking for three hours, the officers and soldiers ordered the distribution of food - a dry steamed bun.

The exiled people could only eat two meals a day, so they were only entitled to eat now.

However, Jiang Zui and Qi Chen had already eaten at the post station and were not hungry yet, nor did they want to eat dry steamed buns, so Jiang Zui asked Qi Chen to give their steamed buns to Qi Yi and Yin Yue.

There are three men in the Qi family. How can they be full with just one steamed bun?

But Yin Yue still rejected Qi Chen.
