The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Walking at the front of the group of prisoners were two old men with white hair and beards. Their hair was messy, their faces were dirty, and the original color of their clothes had long been unrecognizable. If it weren't for the big word "Prisoner" on the back of their clothes, anyone who saw them would have mistaken them for old beggars.

The two men snuggled up to each other, and the old woman's frail body could only move forward relying on the strength of the man's tall body.

Following behind them was a middle-aged man and woman, who looked like a couple. The man was tall and the woman was petite.

After looking at these two couples, Jiang Yan came to a conclusion that from ancient times to the present, most men like women who are as cuddly as a little bird.

As for the fact that there was a mule cart following the team and the driver was a strong man, she was a little surprised.

Guan, however, had a different opinion. "Even though the two men leading the group are filthy and even covered in blood, anyone with a discerning eye can tell they're tough. Of the exiles I've met, most are good people."

"Good guy?"

"Yes, that is, the people who were wrongly accused."

Jiang Yan didn't expect that Guan had such an ability to judge people. After Guan's reminder, she became interested and began to look at this group of prisoners carefully.

There were two more people being carried on their backs. One was a woman and the other a child. Considering the scorching weather, they were most likely suffering from heatstroke.

Zhang Xiaoqi had already seen them and hurriedly called out to Guan: "Wife, come and help them. One of them, a girl and a child, seems to have suffered from heatstroke."

"Yeah." Guan responded and was about to go over to help.

The group of prisoners also saw the clear river water here, and each of them showed a look of longing.

Arriving at their own territory, where there were no outsiders, Zhang Xiaoqi saw that many of them were struggling to hold on. If they were not given water, they might die.

He told them to untie each other's ropes and said, "The weather is too hot. There is a river ahead. Go wash your faces and cool down."

"Thank you, Master Xiaoqi."

A group of prisoners suppressed their ecstasy, thanked Zhang Xiaoqi, untied each other's ropes, and then rushed to the river like a swarm of bees.

Lying on the river bank with his face buried in the water.

Looking at those people drinking water in big gulps, Yichen was stunned.

She wanted to tell those people that it would hurt her body, but when she saw the look on their faces that said, "I'm finally alive," she said nothing.

Even the two unconscious people were carried to the river by their families and washed with river water to cool them down.

The boy was stripped of his clothes by his parents and was left to soak in the river wearing only his underwear.

Girls couldn't do this, so the old woman and the middle-aged woman kept washing her with a towel soaked in river water.

With a "splash" sound, water splashed everywhere, and the last man in the exile team jumped directly into the water. He kept shouting, "Master, I am finally alive. Hahaha~"

The man laughed and then began to sob, "Master, if I had known that this would be the suffering after killing someone, I would have laid on the ground and let that bastard kill me. Woo woo~"

The man behind the mule cart saw his young master jumping into the river, laughing and crying. He quickly dropped the reins and ran to the riverbank, saying, "Young master, don't worry. Our master and mistress have sold all their belongings and are following the escort here."

"Really? Uncle Wang, you didn't lie to me?"

"No, how could an old servant deceive the young master?"

"But, will the old lady and those vampires allow my parents to sell the land and shop?"

"It was the master who secretly sold our land and shop to Master Qu through the favor of my great uncle."

"Hahaha, my father is really thoughtful. He sold the land to Qu Tang without telling those shameless people. Considering Qu Tang's reputation, those people wouldn't dare to cause trouble."

"Yes, the master and the mistress have discussed it, and I'm keeping watch outside, just in case those shameless people eavesdrop."

"Did they eavesdrop?"

"Master, you have foresight. That shameless fellow actually came to eavesdrop. It was only after I coughed several times that I scared him away."

"I can guess who it is. It has to be my second aunt or my third aunt."

"Master, you are really smart. It really is them. They came one after another."

"Bah! How shameless! He always asks the old lady to ask my parents for money, supporting both families for nothing."

"That's right. I don't know how much money I've spent over the years to raise two ungrateful ungrateful people."

Ma Da gets angry whenever he thinks about this. "My parents are so overwhelmed by the word 'filial piety' that they can't breathe."

"Master, you don't know how relieved you are this time."

"Uncle Wang, you say."

"The master only left the old lady 30 mu of land for her retirement and the small courtyard in Majiazhuang. The rest were sold."

"All sold? Our big house too?"

"They were all sold." Uncle Wang took a look at his young master and told the truth: "This is the amount of money the master spent to assign the young master here." Uncle Wang stretched out a finger and shook it in front of his young master several times.

"Ten thousand taels?"

"Ah."

"So much money was spent?" Mada felt a little distressed.

"If I don't give you this much, I don't know where you'll end up."

Zhang Xiaoqi, the scapegoat: "I only got fifty taels, and I was so happy I almost broke my back teeth. Who knew there were still nine thousand nine hundred and fifty taels? I wonder which grandson's pocket it went into."

Ma Da glanced around and asked, "Uncle Wang, where is it?"

"This is the 13th Banner of the Xishan Hundred Households."

"...?"

"It's said that those exiled prisoners are all trying their best to get into the Xishan Hundred Households Unit. And once they get into the Xishan Hundred Households Unit, they all want to join the Thirteen Banners."

"Why?"

"My young master, just for the sake of this flowing river, we have to run here."

"Yeah."

"Master, are you done washing? If you are, come up and take off your clothes."

"Can I finally take off these damn clothes? Can I wear my own clothes?"

“You may wear your own clothes, but only linen; not fine cloth or silk or satin.”

"Any material is fine, as long as it's not this prison uniform."

"Well, Master will never wear it again."

"Then I'll wash it carefully. Uncle Wang, bring me some soap nuts."

Uncle Wang: "Master, there are women over there. You can't act so recklessly."

Ma Da turned around and saw the women of the Ye family not far away. Although their backs were facing him, he didn't dare to take a bath here.

General Ye’s eyes were so sharp that he was scared.

"Uncle Wang, where should I go to wash?"

"Young master, please wait a moment." After Uncle Wang said that, he walked towards Zhang Xiaoqi.
