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

Chapter 36: The Submissive Half-brother in the Exile Story (11)

Qi Chen told Yin Yue that he and Jiang Zui had eaten at the post station in the morning and repeatedly assured them that they were not hungry.

Yin Yuecai accepted the steamed buns.

Because of this incident, the Qi family, who had been worried about Qi Chen, finally felt relieved.

At first they were worried that Jiang Zui could not protect Qi Chen, but after what happened yesterday afternoon and this morning, they had a new opinion of Jiang Zui's attitude.

The officers and soldiers did not give everyone time to eat, but instead made them eat while walking.

Because of what happened yesterday, Jiang Li and the others did not take the initiative to provoke them. Jiang Zui and Qi Chen walked and chatted the whole day. Qi Chen was not afraid of the heat because he had Jiang Zui as his "human air conditioner". Except for the simple food, everything else was acceptable.

Being ignored by Liu Yu and others, Jiang Zui secretly gave Qi Chen some delicious food and fun things from time to time, and helped the Qi family at the same time. A month passed like this.

It takes three months to reach Lingnan from the imperial city. After one month, only one-third of the journey has been completed.

Jiang Hongsheng's injury finally healed.

Jiang Hongsheng's injury was healed, and the happiest person besides Jiang Hongsheng himself was Jiang Zhou.

He is finally free!

No need to carry people on your back anymore!

After being freed, Jiang Zhou went straight to Zhao Xingyuan and showed concern and care to her.

Jiang Hongsheng seemed to be hit hard. He was silent all the way and refused to do anything. He either ordered Jiang Zhou or Jiang Zui around.

Jiang Zhou has Liu Yu as his biological mother, but it makes life difficult for Jiang Zui.

Jiang Zui originally wanted to spend money to remove the shackles from Jiang Hongsheng's body after his injury healed, but because Jiang Hongsheng frequently ordered him around, he hesitated, and thus, he has not removed the shackles until now.

After Jiang Hongsheng recovered from his illness, he paid the soldiers to remove his shackles. Even his youngest son Jiang Xuan had his shackles removed at the persuasion of Zhang Yuansi.

Simply put, among all the men in the Jiang family, only Jiang Zui is still bound by shackles.

Jiang Hongsheng was reluctant to spend money on Jiang Zui, but every time, he asked Jiang Zui to find firewood, fetch water, etc.

Fortunately, because of the shackles, Jiang Zui was not ordered around very often and it was within his tolerance range.

It's not that Jiang Zui didn't want to refuse, but he was afraid of trouble. In this feudal ancient times, the word "filial piety" was of paramount importance. Moreover, if he resisted, it would probably affect his future plans.

"Mom, I'm tired and don't want to walk anymore!" Jiang Li suddenly got angry, pouting and standing still.

Liu Yu always doted on Jiang Li, and whispered to him, "Li Li, be obedient and walk a little further. We will soon reach the resting place."

"Mom, I really can't walk anymore. My feet are all covered with blisters and it hurts so much!" Jiang Li pulled Liu Yu's arm and said coquettishly.

In fact, as early as the third day, Jiang Li, Liu Yu and others had blisters on their feet and were in so much pain that they could not walk.

Because Jiang Zui was reluctant to let Qi Chen go, he used magic to prevent Qi Chen from suffering from his feet being rubbed.

Qi Chen looked at the others screaming in pain while he was fine, feeling complacent and thinking that he was gifted and in good health.

Jiang Zui smiled without saying a word, his eyes full of doting.

Just as Jiang Li finished speaking, there was a loud bang in the sky, and a bolt of lightning fell vertically, striking the branches on both sides of the road. All of a sudden, the branches of the big trees fell to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone became nervous and frightened, "Dad——"

"Father--"

"Husband——"

"Miss-"

......

For a moment, the situation was out of control.

Then came the heavy raindrops that fell on everyone.

The official shouted, "Don't panic, find a place to take shelter from the rain first."

This is a bumpy mountain road. We must cross the mountain to reach the next destination. The team has already crossed the mountain and is about to go down.

There were dense trees all around, and there was no village or shop nearby. For a moment, the officials' eyes were filled with panic and helplessness.

Finally, Jiang Zui stood up and said to the official: "Sir, there should be caves around here. We can go to the caves to take shelter from the rain first."

Hearing Jiang Zui's words, the official's eyes lit up instantly, and he commanded: "Everyone be quiet, we don't know when this rain will stop. We are not safe on this mountain, but if we go down the mountain rashly, if there is a mudslide, we will all be wiped out.

Why don't we find a cave to take shelter first, and then continue our journey after the rain stops."

Not long after, the officers and soldiers who were sent out found a cave that could accommodate two to three hundred people, and everyone moved into the cave.

Jiang Zui looked at the heavy rain outside and felt more and more uneasy.

Although they are in the cave now,... they don't know if they can hold on until the rain stops.

Because of the rain, there was no dry firewood and no way to start a fire. The cave was pitch dark and some people were soaked and had no way to change their clothes, so they had to endure it.

Qi Chen was no exception. Although Jiang Zui had protected Qi Chen well, Qi Chen was still drenched.

Jiang Zui was worried that Qi Chen was cold, so he wanted to hug him to keep warm.

However, there were still shackles on him that had not been touched.

Jiang Zui thought about it and finally found the official and asked him to remove the shackles.

The official was grateful for Jiang Zui's suggestion at the time, so he did not ask for money and removed the shackles from Jiang Zui.

After Jiang Zui took off the shackles on his body, he walked to Qi Chen, hugged him in his arms, and said softly: "Ah Chen, how are you? Are you cold?"

Jiang Zui had cold medicine on him, but he couldn't take it out immediately in front of everyone.

Qi Chen's body was trembling constantly, his lips were pale, and he closed his eyes. He could only subconsciously lean towards Jiang Zui's warm body, muttering to himself: "Cold...husband...I'm cold..."

Hearing Qi Chen's weak words, Jiang Zui's heart was broken. He gently kissed Qi Chen's forehead and said, "Hold on a little longer."

Others were no exception. Among the more than 200 people, in addition to the sick prisoners, a small number of officers and soldiers also had fever.

The rain got heavier and heavier, and it never stopped until dark.

The soldiers' food had been soaked by the rain and could not be eaten, so everyone had to go to bed hungry.

It was late at night when Jiang Zui secretly gave Qi Chen cold medicine while everyone else was sleeping.

Qi Chen was in a daze and let Jiang Zui play with him. After drinking the medicine with his eyes closed, he slowly fell asleep.

Jiang Zui stayed by Qi Chen's side until Qi Chen's fever subsided, and then he felt at ease and held Qi Chen in his arms to sleep.

The next day, the rain continued outside the cave and did not stop all night.

A sharp voice sounded in the silent cave, "Ah——"

"Mom, wake up, why is your fever getting worse?"

A man who looked similar to Qi Chen knelt in front of a woman in her forties or fifties and cried.

The woman was caught in the rain yesterday and has a fever.

They had no medicine and had to drink water.

But they didn't know that the water was river water, not boiled water, and drinking it directly would have no effect at all.

The man thought the woman was asleep, but he didn't expect her condition to get worse.
