Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

What was even more unbearable was that those who ate meat were sitting in the car, and those who ate bran had their legs stretched out.

We traveled at least 34 miles a day, and as we moved further south, the weather became increasingly hot, especially at noon, when Chu Ci measured the temperature, which reached degrees Celsius.

The long-term high-intensity action beyond the body's tolerance, coupled with the large temperature difference between day and night and the suffocation in the heart, all these factors intertwined together. Several people from the Chu and Liu families fell ill one after another.

The officials were not surprised, but Chu Ci was alert. "It's only the beginning of April, why is it so hot? Boss Qian, is it the same in previous years?"

Qian Chuanzi thought for a moment and said, "It's normal for the temperature to rise as you go south. But what's abnormal is that the daytime is scorching hot, but the nights are still as cold as spring."

After Qian Chuanzi said this, Lao Liu also realized something was wrong. "Isn't this so unlucky?"

Chu Ci sighed. In his previous life, he had only heard about the changeable climate in the south. He experienced it as soon as he entered this life. "Hurry up and find a village to hide. My people sent me news (actually it was detected by Xing'er). In half an hour at most, there will be heavy rain. There may also be hail."

"What? When did I, Old Liu, become such a bad-mouthed person!" Old Liu kept wailing, but he didn't hesitate at all. "Qian Chuanzi, I'm going to pick up the Chu family. There are quite a lot of people from the Liu family, so you decide."

"Okay!" At the critical moment, the tacit understanding between the officials was revealed. Qian Chuanzi shouted, "Second son, follow me!"

The whip that had not been used for a long time was also pulled out. "The children of the Liu family, go to the car in front. The women, go to the car of the Fan family. The rest of the men, follow behind my car, and don't fall behind. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The Liu family was not stupid. Moreover, the police immediately carried the women and children into the car.

It must be the Liu family's high level of cooperation that made the Chu family somewhat confused about their own identity. They looked down on Old Liu's car and asked to ride in the same car with the old man of the Fan family.

The reason was to take this opportunity to apologize to the old man? Would the Fan family care about his apology?

Besides, how could the escorting officer be a good-tempered person? Without saying anything, he swung the whip in his hand, "If you don't get in the car, run. If you dare to delay my journey, I will whip you to death."

Li Yanran knew that her plan had failed again, so she quickly changed her words. She also took Chu Ling'er with her: "Let's go, let's go. Come on, Ling'er. You go up first."

Unfortunately, just now was just now, and now is now. Just as Li Yanran and the other person were clumsily climbing onto the donkey cart, Lao Liu pulled them down without saying a word.

The two men then realized that Lao Liu and his men also had tempers, and immediately stopped thinking about making trouble. They ran along with the group of old men in misery.

If you are a little slower, you will be whipped.

The scorching heat and the rapid running made them thirsty and tired. They wanted to complain, but the moment they thought about it, the originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, as if to swallow up the whole world.

The howling wind was like the roar of a wild beast, making people shudder.

Chu Ling'er was shocked and angry: Could it be that even God is on that bitch's side?

Compared to Chu Ling'er's shock and anger, Li Yanran felt regret for the first time. If she had been nicer to Chu Ci, would she be in the car now?

Then, his body trembled violently, and he fell back a step. Then a whip hit his back. The pain came instantly.

Unable to hold back any longer, she cried out, "I was wrong, Ci'er. I was wrong. Please, please help me! If I keep running like this, I'll die."

Chu Ci had no idea that at this time, these two people were still thinking about other things. But her running like this really delayed things. "Boss Qian, give her ten taels of silver to get on the car!"

Qian Chuanzi took the opportunity to say: "Sure. Chu Li, come up!"

Chu Ling'er also wanted to get on the bus, but she knew that no one would be willing to spend ten taels of silver for her. Fortunately, she was lucky, no, it should be said that everyone was lucky!

The wind was howling, but Erzi had not taken the wrong path. In the distance, a village came into view, and Erzi's excited voice reached everyone's ears: "Found it, found it——"

The village was small, with only about a dozen households. In this weather, there was no one to lead the way, so we simply headed towards the largest courtyard.

It could be the weather, or something else. After knocking on the door for a long time, an old voice finally sounded. "Who is this? You're knocking on the door at this time. You're killing yourself!"

"A passing official wants to take shelter from the rain here. Open the door—" Qian Chuanzi's voice was loud and powerful.

The old man inside dared not delay any longer. With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened from the inside.

An old man in his seventies or eighties walked out slowly, his face full of flattering smiles, "This old man didn't know that the noble man had come. He is guilty, guilty!"

Qian Chuanzi ignored the other party's attitude and put on a very official air, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't look at what you shouldn't look at. Do you understand?"

The old man seemed to be quite impressed by this and bowed even lower. "Understood, understood. Sir, please come in."

From the outside, the yard of this house looks quite large, with many rooms. But when I came in, I found that it was not spacious inside.

The furnishings in the house were extremely rudimentary. A tattered wooden bed, a rickety table, and a few stools with missing parts were all the belongings of this family.

Fortunately, although the house was simple, it was well-organized and spotless.

It's just that sometimes, human power is so insignificant in the face of natural disasters. Because of Xing'er's existence, Chu Ci and his friends anticipated the existence of hail and luckily found a family to shelter from the rain.

That's right, the hail in the extreme world, each one as big as an egg, hit me with a crackling sound. Not only did the roof not serve as a defense, but the broken tiles mixed with the hailstones, each time it hit me, it was painful.

"I'm afraid that life will become increasingly difficult for this family from now on." Mr. Fan is used to caring about the world, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

This old man, is this the time to worry about others? "Grandpa, go under the table. It's safe there!"

After Chu Ci finished shouting, he rolled under the bed, and the others followed suit, leaving the space under the table for Mr. Fan and the old lady.

The two were not ignorant of flexibility. Between saving their lives and losing their manners, they decisively chose to save their lives.

Even so, everyone was in a state of disarray. But at this moment, no one cared. Instead, everyone was filled with gratitude: "If we were still on the road, we would probably be knocked unconscious, right?"

Don't say it, thinking of this, the resentment of several people who were whipped for running slowly was reduced a little.
