The ancestor is here, she is here with space

The next day.

early morning.

The strong winds in winter are like countless sharp arrows, piercing into the bones and making people shiver.

Lin Congyun stretched, climbed up from the big bunk bed, tightened his cotton coat, and felt the biting cold wind cutting through his skin like a knife, and couldn't help but frowning.

Lin Congyun stood on the edge of the big bunk bed, his eyes passing through the simple wooden house and looking into the distance.

That was the direction of Bianyun Pass, which was also the destination of their exile.

"Grandma, what are you looking at?" A childish voice interrupted her thoughts.

Fang Xinlei poked his head out from the shabby bed next to her, blinked his big eyes and looked at Lin Congyun and asked.

Lin Congyun retracted his gaze, looked down at Fang Xinyu, and smiled gently: "Nothing, I just think the weather today is a little strange."

Fang Xinlei tilted his head, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it was because the wind was too strong last night. I thought it was going to snow!"

After hearing this, Lin Congyun looked outside again, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

With such a strong wind, if it really snows, then...

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Lin Congyun didn't speak for a long time, Fang Xinyu asked in confusion.

"Ah? Oh, nothing. Grandma was wondering how long the wind would blow last night. It seemed like it never stopped!" Lin Congyun collected his thoughts and smiled slightly.

Fang Xinyu nodded: "Yes, it has never stopped, just like when we were sleeping just now, the wind has been blowing until now."

Last night, when Lin Congyun came back, the wind was already blowing very hard.

As soon as I entered the post station, Li Hongsui ran over with a worried look on her face.

"Mom, you went out again?"

"Yeah, I went out for a while and did some things." Lin Congyun gathered his clothes and nodded, "Nothing?"

"The officials came and said they wanted to requisition one of our carriages." Li Hongsui sighed and said worriedly.

Lin Congyun frowned slightly. What was the purpose of requisitioning a carriage?

Don’t they want to walk anymore?

Then, Li Hongsui continued, "The officer didn't see you in the room. I said you went to the toilet. Originally, the officer wanted to call you over immediately, but seeing that it was windy outside, he told me what happened with the carriage and asked me to tell you."

Lin Congyun came back to his senses and looked at Li Hongsui, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"The officials want to requisition our carriage?" Lin Congyun asked, frowning slightly.

Li Hongsui nodded and said, "Yes, they said they needed to requisition our carriages because they wanted to transport a batch of important supplies to Bianyun Pass."

Lin Congyun was silent for a while, then he sighed and said, "Okay, let them use it."

What important material? These officials must have wanted to get more money from her, so they came up with such a high-sounding excuse.

Lin Congyun had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, he had stored a few more carriages in the space yesterday. He would go and check on Fang Xinlei's injuries later. If he had recovered well, he would let him go to Bianyun Pass first and he would follow.

While Lin Congyun was secretly calculating in his mind, Nanny Bai also came over.

"Grandma, breakfast is ready. Eat it while it's hot." Aunt Bai said with a smile and put a small plate in her hand on the table.

Lin Congyun stood up and prepared to wash up.

Nanny Bai also hurried over and said, "I will help you wash up!"

"No need, I can do it myself." Lin Congyun shook his head and asked, "How is Xin Lei's condition?"

"He's much better now. His injuries are basically stable now. He just needs to recuperate for two or three more days." Nanny Bai replied.

"That's good." Lin Congyun nodded, "Ask Butler Wu to wait outside. I have something to tell him."

"Yes." Nanny Bai responded and walked out.

After Lin Congyun finished his simple breakfast, Wu Jinjie was already waiting outside the post station.

After seeing Lin Congyun coming out, Wu Jinjie immediately stepped forward and said, "Grandfather, what do you want me to do?"

Lin Congyun looked at him, a hint of deepness flashed in his eyes: "Butler Wu, I need you to find a few reliable guards to send Xin Lei to Bianyun Pass first."

Wu Jinjie was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I understand, ancestor. I will immediately arrange for someone to escort Master Lei to Bianyun Pass. However, what about the pass?"

Lin Congyun's eyes flashed with cunning: "I will take care of the pass issue, you just need to arrange guards to ensure Xin Lei's safety."

Although Wu Jinjie was a little confused, he nodded when he saw Lin Congyun's unquestionable look: "Yes, ancestor."

"As for Huang Yang and his group, go over and ask if anyone wants to go with us to Bianyun Pass first?"

Lin Congyun’s words made Wu Jinjie slightly stunned, but he soon understood.

There were nearly a hundred people from Huangjia Village following the exile team, which was indeed too conspicuous.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Wu Jinjie responded respectfully, turned around and left in a hurry.

Lin Congyun looked at Wu Jinjie's departing back, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

The officer's high-pitched voice echoed in the post station, like an invisible hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.

Inside the post station, there was wailing everywhere, and the exiles complained about how they could travel in such a windy weather.

"Sir, the wind is too strong..."

"Sir, can we wait until the wind dies down before walking?"

......

There was a lot of crying inside the post station, but the officers turned a deaf ear to it and continued shouting commands in a loud voice.

“One, two, three! Go!”

As the official uttered the last word, the sound of whips cracking echoed throughout the inn.

The wind blew up the yellow sand, the sky was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the sunlight became dim.

In such weather, traveling became extremely difficult and the carriage moved forward slowly amidst the bumps.

After the officials requisitioned a carriage, Lin Congyun could only temporarily place Fang Xinlei in his own carriage.

The carriage was not big and could only accommodate Lin Congyun and a few children. The others could only squeeze on the cart outside and endure the invasion of wind and sand.

Wu Jinjie also came over to inform that there were more than 20 young and strong people from Huangjia Village who were willing to follow and go to Bianyun Pass first.

Among the remaining people, half were the elderly, the weak, women and children, and they followed Lin Congyun and his group.

Moreover, Wu Jinjie also brought a piece of news, saying that the county magistrate of Guangji County died last night.

Lin Congyun was shocked when he heard the news brought by Wu Jinjie.

The magistrate of Guangji County died?

The news was too sudden. Wasn’t the county magistrate fine last night?

Lin Congyun took a deep breath, trying to calm his astonishment, "Where did you get this news?"
