Confiscated my property and exiled me, I emptied the emperor's old nest to escape famine

The escorts had no idea how their companions died.

But after listening to Ye Qingfeng's words, their attitude was finally not as condescending as before.

One of the guards explained: "We were fighting with the bandits over there just now. I'm sure many of you saw it."

"So, there is no such thing as intentional indifference to help."

"Then they retreated and we gave chase."

"I wanted to wipe them out in one fell swoop, but unfortunately they ran away."

"We didn't expect that other bandits would come to attack you from the other side."

“We thought all the bandits were fighting us.”

The exiled people accepted this statement.

Because what the escorts said was true.

Ye Qingfeng and Wang Xiangjun said nothing.

Ye Fei knew that with their experience, they must know who the bandits' real target was.

They were just smart enough not to expose it.

The escort Luo Dayong pointed at the things on his and other escorts' horses and said:

"As you can see, these are the foods we just bought."

"After such a long journey, everyone must be hungry."

"Is it wrong for us to leave here and find something to eat for everyone?"

After the escorts said this, the exiled people suddenly felt as if no one was wrong.

The two sides are no longer in a tense confrontation like before.

When Ye Fei heard these words, he sneered in his heart.

It was obvious that the two escorts who left had made thorough preparations long ago.

No matter who questions them, they can handle it with ease.

"Okay, okay, I know you're frightened."

"Everyone, eat something and drink some water, take a rest and then continue on your journey."

"According to regulations, we must walk a full fifty miles every day."

"That way, we can reach the Land of Exile on time."

"Otherwise, all of us will be punished."

After Luo Dayong finished his explanation, he began to ask other escorts to distribute food and water to the exiles.

Ye Fei looked at the food in his hand and swallowed hard.

She had no idea what the object in her hand was made of.

But just by looking at its appearance, Ye Fei could already guess how bad it tasted.

Ye Ling was starving.

After taking a bite of the food in his hand, he looked at Ye Fei and the others with tears in his eyes, feeling wronged:

"Dad, Mom, Sister, this tastes terrible."

This was Ye Fei and his friends’ first meal after being exiled.

It's normal for Ye Ling to feel uncomfortable.

When Ye Fei and his friends were taken to jail before, the meal they had was very bland.

But at least they were visible meals and dishes, and could be eaten.

"If you can't eat, don't eat yet. I'll go out and find something for you to eat tonight."

Ye Fei spoke quietly.

Not to mention Ye Ling, Ye Fei was also hungry.

But like Ye Ling, she couldn't adapt to or eat such food.

Modern cuisine is much richer than that of ancient times.

How could Ye Fei's current stomach possibly adapt to the food rations of the exiles of this era?

Ye Qingyun and Lin Xue'e did not take Ye Fei's words seriously.

They thought Ye Fei was just trying to coax Ye Ling.

Therefore, Lin Xue'e still persuaded: "Ling'er, even if it doesn't taste good, you have to eat a little."

"If you don't eat, your body won't be able to bear it."

Ye Qingyun looked at the food in his hand and sighed: "This kind of food is already considered good."

"Wait until later, maybe there won't even be any food like this."

"If conditions get worse, we might end up eating tree bark and leaves."

Lin Xue'e and Ye Yeling's faces became even worse when they heard Ye Qingyun's words.

"Dad, are you telling the truth?"

"Do we really eat leaves and bark?"

"Isn't that something only animals eat?"

"We are human beings, how can we eat leaves and bark?"

Ye Ling opened his mouth in disbelief.

"Silly child, we are now exiled sinners."

“Some people don’t treat us as human beings.”

Ye Qingyun touched Ye Ling's little head and said these things that a five-year-old child should not have to endure:

"The court will allocate money specifically for us exiles to use for our expenses."

"The route that we exiled people took was also specially drawn by the court."

"But it's hard to say whether the escorts will spend these expenses on us."

"For an exile, being able to reach the destination alive is the greatest luck."

"As for those who starved to death on the way or died of other reasons, who would care?"

This was the first time Ye Fei learned about exile in ancient times.

It turns out that exile has special funding and special routes.

However, Ye Fei thought about it and felt that this arrangement was very reasonable.

It's easier when the number of exiles is small.

If there are too many people exiled, not taking a special route will definitely affect others.

But Ye Fei felt that what Ye Qingyun said was not meant for Ye Ling, but more importantly for her and Lin Xue'e.

Because up to now, except for Ye Qingyun who swallowed the food in his hand, Lin Xue'e, Ye Fei and Ye Ling had not eaten the food in their hands.

Ye Fei knew clearly that Ye Qingyun was giving them a heads-up in advance.

Let them be mentally prepared for the bad situation in the future and cherish the unpalatable food they have now.

Lin Xue'e naturally understood what Ye Qingyun said.

She silently swallowed the food in her hand.

Ye Ling wiped away her tears and started eating silently.

Ye Fei didn't eat.

She held the food with her head down, as if she was thinking.

Ye Fei decided to find an opportunity to enter the space and have a good meal.

There was so much food inside that Ye Feiguang started drooling just thinking about it.

The voice of the space spirit suddenly rang in Ye Fei's mind: "Wow, it smells so good!"

“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious.”

"Alas, how pitiful it is for those who have nothing to eat."

"I am so lucky to be able to eat delicious braised pork, braised fish, dragon whisker chicken feet, lion head, fried chicken gourd, peach kernel chicken, spicy tofu..."

"There are also osmanthus cakes and water chestnut cakes..."

"Oh, there are so many fruits..."

Ye Fei heard a sense of gloating in the voice of the weapon spirit.

She became conscious in a flash and entered the space.

As soon as he came in, Ye Fei saw the spirit of the weapon lying on its back like an old man in a pile of gold, silver and jewelry.

He held food in both hands and was eating it alternately, taking a bite from the left hand and the right hand.

"I can't believe you're such a money-grubber at such a young age."

Ye Fei snatched the food in front of the spirit of the weapon and started eating it with a smacking sound.

The spirit of the weapon loves money, Ye Fei actually had felt it a long time ago.

When she emptied the imperial palace and the wealthy families in the capital, the joyful and surprised voice of the weapon spirit left a deep impression on Ye Fei.

The spirit's food was snatched away, and he immediately muttered and accused Ye Fei: "Humph, you actually snatched the child's food."

"There are so many here. If you want to eat, just make it yourself."

“I made these for myself.”

The spirit blinked its big watery eyes and looked at Ye Fei aggrievedly: "I'm just a three-year-old baby."

"Master, you actually bully a little baby."

Ye Fei doesn't fall for it.

Her face didn't blush and her heart didn't beat.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he started to scold Qi Ling: "You are already a three-year-old baby, and I am only a 156-month-old baby."

Really, who isn't a baby?
