Exiled after the marriage? My elder sister sent me to the throne!

According to Lu Ce's estimation, it would take three days to reach the next town.

But the exiles had no basic concept at all. After walking for half a month, they could pass through villages every time. But now, after walking for most of the day, there were fewer and fewer people, and there was no water to drink.

It has taken at least three hours from the time the sun just rose to now.

Many of them were so thirsty that their mouths were almost stuck together. They covered their throats and swallowed uncomfortably. Their eyes were blacking out and they were walking like zombies. If they wanted to survive, they had to buy water.

Wave after wave of people went to find the officials.

The officers had a map, and the leader Luo Yunchun had been traveling for many years, so he had a rough idea of ​​what the road looked like in his mind. He was well prepared, and he watched them come to deliver the money with calmness.

It's not that he is cruel.

Asking for money from this group of people was originally one of his official duties.

Otherwise, why do these people still have money after their houses were confiscated?

Naturally, the gold, silver and jewelry will flow into the hands of high-ranking officials in another way.

Corrupt officials.

I'm talking about them.

Having said that, Luo Yunchun also took a deep look at the sky. This year seemed to be much hotter than usual.

The horse lowered its head and exhaled.

Luo Yunchun called a halt to the team, asked the horses to graze, and asked them to rest for a while: "We will reach the resting place in two more hours."

Many people collapsed to the ground with their tongues hanging out, like half-dead dogs.

Ni Yihui counted the silver coins, frowning more and more tightly: "A bowl of water costs half a tael of silver. There are many people in our family, and today's expenses alone cost three taels. If we leave the prosperous area, the population will definitely become sparse. We won't be able to find a village, and there will be no water to drink. We can't afford to drink water, so what should we do?"

"Live one day at a time."

The man felt listless and had no expectations for the rest of his life.

He studied hard for decades and worked diligently for the people, but ended up like this. If his wife was not weak and his child was not young, he would have killed himself.

Ni Yihui patted him and said, "Cheer up."

The man said nothing, moved his hips and turned his back to her.

Ni Yihui sighed deeply, and when she looked up, she saw Jiang Qiu in front of her taking out a kettle to give water to his family, her eyes full of envy.

Jiang Qiu was also extremely grateful that he chose the water bottle when he went to the town to buy things. Although it was heavy to carry, it could keep people alive.

She was also the only one who bought a kettle among the people who went to town to buy things.

Some people wanted to buy water from her because they remembered that she sold something to Ni Yihui yesterday.

Jiang Qiu refused.

Because her family has to drink water sparingly.

It's impossible for her to sell the water to this group of people at a low price, and then buy it from the officials at a high price tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. What is she trying to do?

Lu Mingyue finished drinking the water and licked her dry lips: "Aunt, when can we see the village or the river?"

"I don't know." Jiang Qiu closed the lid of the kettle and wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. "I don't know what to say about this weather. I hope it's cool, but I'm also afraid it's too cool."

If it rains, she'll go crazy.

Lu Ce looked at the sky and said, "It might rain in a while."

"Then when we go to the next town, remember to buy a straw raincoat." Jiang Qiu said quickly.

Lu Ce nodded and took note of it silently.

Jiang Qiu turned his head to see his clean face, and he felt jealous: "It's so hot, why don't you sweat? Are you weak?"

Lu Ce wanted to say something but stopped himself. He was so angry that he couldn't utter a single word.

Jiang Qiu sighed.

Handsome men also have their troubles.

Lu Ce gritted his teeth and said, "I have internal strength, which can adjust my body's condition and is not easily disturbed by the outside world."

Jiang Qiu was silent.

Totally sour.

The clown was me.

Why wasn’t the original owner a hidden martial arts master? Then her body could become an automatic air conditioner, and she could be at ease whether in the hot summer or in the cold winter in the future.

Jiang Qiu lowered his head and gently poked Yao'er's face: "Yao'er, let's practice martial arts later and beat the guy next to you down."

"Gulp gulp..." Yaoer blinked her clear and innocent big eyes and looked at Jiang Qiu, blowing bubbles at her.

Lu Ce smiled faintly, thinking that Jiang Qiu was daydreaming.

Jiang Qiu glared at him: "What are you laughing at?!"

Lu Ce pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Some people are not very good at fighting, but they have bad tempers.

Qian saw the two of them arguing, and hid behind them, covering her mouth and laughing.

Lu Mingyue came over at this time and whispered to Qian: "Grandma, can I give Lu Pandi some water? She is almost dying of thirst."

Qian looked at the shaky Lu Pandi and couldn't bear it. "Okay, I'll go tell your aunt."

The family lived so close together that Jiang Qiu heard everything clearly. Before Qian could speak, she was the first to refuse: "No, Yaoer needs water to make medicine, and we need to drink water every day. Besides, we only have a few kettles. Who knows what the future holds."

Even if Lu Ce's prediction was accurate, three days would be a difficult test. Jiang Qiu would not hesitate to help when he had the energy to do so, such as with the beggar.

But she is now short of water.

Secondly, and most importantly, Lu Pandi's parents are by her side, and the couple is living a very good life, so Jiang Qiu doesn't want to be too kind.

Lu Ce also echoed Jiang Qiu's words: "We do have some gold and silver at the moment, but we still have a long way to go. We need to buy rainproof tools and warm clothes. If it snows, we can't live outside. We also have to prepare tents and quilts to survive the winter. This is the most basic requirement for survival, not to mention daily food and drink. Mother, we can no longer give anything to others now."

After hearing what he said, Qian and Lu Mingyue were both very ashamed.

Especially Lu Mingyue, who hid behind her grandmother with a blushing face and refused to see anyone. She not only did not help but also made trouble. She was so ignorant.

In fact, Lu Ce was also thinking about future needs, and he realized that if he wanted to reach Qiongzhou safely, he would need to spend a lot of silver. The current gold and silver would definitely not be enough when Luo Yunchun demanded money for everything.

Got to make money.

Thinking of this, Lu Ce looked at Jiang Qiu gratefully.

She stood up in surprise.

"Fifth brother, do you know what that is?"

Lu Ce followed her gaze, thought carefully for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know."

"Nepeta tenuifolia is edible." Jiang Qiu said happily in a low voice.

Lu Ce's eyes lit up.

Jiang Qiu raised his eyebrows and smiled like a profiteer: "I want to make money."

The grandfather of the Lu family, who was not far away, saw the two young people leaning against each other and asked Dai Hongmei with a cold face: "Did you do what I said?"

"I went there and found Pan Di asking Ming Yue for some water. Ming Yue, that little bitch, agreed but ended up not bringing anything!" Dai Hong Mei was so angry that her chest hurt.

Grandfather Lu suppressed his inner restlessness and ordered: "Let Pan Di play with Ming Yue more, and give her some water to drink after playing for a while. Remember, let Pan Di play miserable more!"
