Wait for me, and watch me fight my way back to the reincarnation path

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside calling: "Qin Hu!".

When Xiang was about to go out, Uncle Qin immediately stopped her and asked the child to go out and take a look.

Qin Qiong felt a little strange, so he leaned outside and saw a man in his forties wearing an official uniform standing outside the yard.

The man's standing posture was very bad, with his whole body leaning against the wooden fence at the door. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a serious person.

Qin Qiong's eyes immediately lit up. It would be great if he could take a shower and eat again tonight!

She grabbed the child and motioned to go by herself, but the child also pulled her back, shook his head vigorously and said to her: "Auntie, don't go. This person is not a good person."

Hearing this, Qin Qiong wanted to go out even more. She smiled, patted the child, and walked out quickly.

Uncle Qin was about to get angry, but was pulled back by Daixiang beside him and shook his head gently at him.

He turned around to look at Aunt Mei again and saw that she also turned her head away with a bit of embarrassment.

The man surnamed Qu couldn't help but frown.

"I'm here, I'm here! Hello, this is the Qin family, what can I do for you?"

Qin Qiong ran out happily.

The bailiff smiled as he watched her approach, put his hands on the wooden railing and leaned forward a little.

He smiled and said to Qin Qiong, "The eldest daughter of the Qin family?"

"Yes, I am"

"Okay, I, Wang Tou, am the manager of your area. Your Qin family is now settled. I will send some things over tomorrow, and you will have to go to the battlefield, otherwise you will have no rations."

"Really? You are the manager, okay, okay, what? What kind of mission?"

Qin Qiong asked when he didn't understand.

"Oh, young lady, are you here to have fun? If you want to work, of course, only one person in the family is needed, and the others can go to the government office to sign up and see if there are any jobs available. We have to make a living, right?"

"Is that so? Then what are you doing?"

"These days we have to work in the fields and harvest the grain. We get a bag of food for each day's work. In a few days, there may be work in the mines, you never know."

"Okay, that's it. By the way, you just said you were going to send us something, right?"

"Oh, you really listen. Do you want me to take you there?"

"Yes! You'd better send it now. If not, I can go with you to get it."

"Hehe... you think so?"

"Yeah, how about, let's go"

"Hehe... I really want to take you there, but I have someone coming today. Where are the brothers from above? Tomorrow morning, I will pick you up. In the evening, you can go to my place to get your things. Okay?"

"You'll have to wait until tomorrow! Well, don't forget it!"

Qin Qiong watched the man leave reluctantly. He felt really sad. It was over! He could only sleep on a straw board tonight.

"Be careful, he has bad intentions"

"I know... Hey! Qu, Brother Qu"

Qin Qiong responded casually, and when he turned around, it was the neighbor who was there.

"The stove is ready? Come in and sit down and have some tea before you leave?"

Qin Qiong realized that he had made a mistake and quickly changed his words.

The man glanced at her, said nothing more, and walked out of the yard back to his yard.

The courtyards here are not the kind with walls. The courtyards are just surrounded by wooden pillars and branches, which are not very high. From this house, you can directly see the people and things in the yard next door.

Qin Qiong noticed that when Brother Qu opened the door when he entered the house, a woman's figure flashed through the crack. Qin Qiong remembered that the child had said that there was a little sister in this house.

Qin Qiong was not angry. He turned around and went back to the room, sat opposite the old man of the Qin family and smiled.

"Tell me more about this," she asked. "What is this? What is servitude? How are we going to survive?"

"You, you..."

Uncle Qin was about to start scolding.

"Master! Talk to the young lady if you have something to say!"

Aunt Mei on the side interrupted him directly.

Dai Xiang also pulled him and shook her head at him.

Qin Qiong smiled. Uncle Qin really knew how to read people's faces, so he stopped scolding.

Just like that, with Uncle Qin's angry explanation, the child's ignorant explanation, and Aunt Mei's formal explanation, Qin Qiong roughly understood their current situation.

They were now the family of criminal officials, and they were even worse than common people. Therefore, they had to do some labor service.

What to do depends on the assignment from above. Going to the fields to harvest is considered good, but going to the mines or the kilns can be fatal.

However, because criminal officials like them basically cannot do much, and there is a chance that they will be pardoned or something, they are generally not allowed to go to the mines.

However, at the beginning, workers still had to be sent to serve, and each family had to provide one.

It would be better if the family was big with more people, and life would be easier.

Moreover, the big family may have great hope of returning to Beijing, but with the Qin family's current situation, I'm afraid...

Wang Tou was the head of the village of the prison camp, and he was basically in charge of them. However, these were all officials' families, and they might return to Beijing, so usually no one listened to him.

In addition, this place still uses the well-field system... Qin Qiong didn't understand this, but she understood one thing, that is, as long as she paid the wages, she could get some food rations.

Also, because of their status, they cannot leave the place of exile, and because people like them have no survival skills, the government will also provide some basic living security, but how much depends on the person.

If you want to survive, you either have to find a job with the government, or you have to find other ways to survive.

Qin Qiong thought that it was okay. After committing a crime, it was wrong to want to live the same life as before. Now, he just hoped that what he got would be better.

Of course, it would be better if there were more! Hehe.

The food they brought back included some meat that had been there for a long time. If they didn't finish it this time, they couldn't keep it any longer. The child asked Qin Qiong if he could give it to Uncle Qu's family. Qin Qiong didn't mind, of course. Unexpectedly, Uncle Qin didn't say anything.

For the first time in the whole day, Qin Qiong looked at this guy with a more favorable attitude.

The child ran out and came back soon, bringing back some tea.

Qin Qiong was so grateful that he could have a sip of hot tea in such a place and on such a night. Oh my God, what a luxury!

But when she thought that she and Aunt Mei would have to sleep in the house with the cattle pen at night, she became angry again.

After they had placed the boards and laid straw on them, they discovered that they still had no mattresses or quilts. It turned out that the days of sleeping in a crowded space were not over yet!

However, it was late that day, and they would have to wait until tomorrow to buy something, so they could only sleep together with their clothes on.

At night, when Qin Qiong got up to go to the bathroom, he saw the child sleeping next to the stove.

She frowned and was about to kick the door.

But then I thought, maybe the child wanted to sleep next to the stove, and if there was a fire here, it would be warmer than in the house, so I just let it go.

However, this time, going to the toilet almost cost her life.

For Qin Qiong, sometimes everything was bearable, but the problem of "going to the toilet" was really killing her. Not only did she have to go outside, but she was also freezing to death.

If she gets up at night, she won't have to sleep when she comes back. So, they get up very early!

The next day, at daybreak, Aunt Mei and Daixiang got up and prepared breakfast, using the same things they had brought back. Fortunately, they had water to drink and tea to drink.
