Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 51: The Ancient Exile Control Group 9

After Meng Qiqi and the others left the post station, they continued on their journey of exile.

Although the road was easier to walk on, there were no tall trees around, only overgrown weeds that could not block the icy wind ahead.

Many people in the exile group were shivering in the cold wind.

Some people were wearing thin clothes, which could not stop the biting cold wind from invading their bodies.

Meng Qiqi tightened her coat as she felt the cold wind bit her skin.

Especially his face was covered with frost, and the mist turned into thin water stains.

Because of the bitterly cold wind, everyone walked much faster.

At this time, several people in the team were obviously unable to bear the biting cold wind.

"Go away! Don't interfere with me in performing my duties!" The bailiffs waved their whips and beat the women mercilessly.

One of the women fell to the ground, her clothes torn, revealing her bruised body.

Another woman next to her couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she rushed forward to block the whip of the yamen runner.

"How dare you resist!" The bailiff glared at the woman.

"How can you treat criminals like this? Is there any law in the world?" The woman straightened up, not afraid at all.

"Law? Here, I am the law!" The bailiff said, and hit the woman with the whip in his hand.

Again and again, no matter how thick the clothes were, they could not withstand the beating.

Soon, the clothes of several women were torn by the whips. People who were nearby could see through the holes in the clothes that their skin was torn and exposed by the whips.

The other prisoners all lowered their presence upon seeing this, and no one dared to step forward to stop it.

The yamen runners looked at each other and saw that the prisoners were intimidated by their momentum. Finally, they put away their whips and walked away cursing.

After watching this farce, Meng Qiqi felt that among the women who had just been whipped by the yamen runners.

There was a woman inside. She looked quite familiar. She seemed to be a concubine in the general's mansion?

Whether it was or not, it was none of her business now.

Farces like what they are doing today are not just happening today.

In the past, those yamen runners might have shown some sympathy to women.

But now, the women all looked unkempt, which made the yamen runners start to look down on them.

Now, with the cold weather and having been exiled on the road for more than half a month, each of them has a more or less unpleasant smell on them.

She didn't even dare to walk in the middle now because the unpleasant smell was too unbearable.

So, in such a cold day, she still walked on the edge of the group.

Because she had put an ignore sign on herself, no one noticed her.

Due to the cold weather, many people fell ill and some of the older people in the team began to cry and complain.

Meng Qiqi secretly thanked herself for using the ignore symbol to avoid being noticed by others.

However, she noticed that some young and strong men began to take advantage of the situation and rob the patients of their belongings.

She watched all this with indifference, without any thoughts in her mind.

They are in exile now, not fleeing famine or traveling, and exiles have no human rights.

If we continue to make trouble like this, the only result we will get is a beating from the yamen runners.

Sure enough, the yamen runners in front heard the noise and rushed over, and started whipping him without asking any questions.

The person being whipped wailed in pain, but did not dare to resist at all.

The people around him all stayed away, fearing that they would suffer the same treatment.

Meng Qiqi looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this is the power of power.

If prisoners confront officers and soldiers, they will only be beaten.

He turned his head and looked elsewhere, not continuing to watch the noisy scene over there.

On the road to exile, the prisoners are the weaker ones. No matter how strong they are, they cannot withstand the beatings of the yamen runners. This is the law of the road to exile.

It seems that she needs to be more careful and wary of others in the remaining ten days.

In difficult times, human hearts are most vulnerable.

After today's farce, everyone is in panic.

By the evening, they could finally take a break.

Meng Qiqi found a flat place to rest. This time she just took out some dry food from her backpack to eat.

But this was only on the surface. The actual situation was that she used her sleeves to cover herself and replaced the dry food in her hands with the hot white flour buns in the space.

While Meng Qiqi was eating, she saw several women about her age walking towards the yamen runners and trying to show their courtesy.

The women lowered their heads, with flattering smiles on their faces, and handed the little food they had left to the yamen runners.

One of the yamen runners took the food and started eating it without any hesitation. While eating, he cursed and urged the others to hurry up.

Meng Qiqi felt contempt in her heart. These yamen runners were so greedy and shameless that they didn't even let go of this little bit of food.

After she finished the steamed bun in her hand, she leaned against the stone and closed her eyes, ignoring the women and the yamen runners.

Not long after, night fell and the surroundings became quiet.

Meng Qiqi opened her eyes, stretched her body, and prepared to go to sleep.

At this moment, she heard a slight sound of footsteps not far away.

She sat up warily and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a dark shadow quietly walking towards the place where the grain was stored.

She looked carefully and saw that it was Meng Tingting, who was secretly taking the bag of dry food.

Is Meng Tingting really brave, or does she think those yamen runners are stupid?

Meng Qiqi widened her eyes. She wanted to pretend not to see it, but she felt that Meng Tingting must have angered the yamen runners, and maybe even implicated everyone else.

Her conscience hesitated for a second, and she finally decided to pretend to be asleep and pretend that she didn't know.

However, her worries were not unnecessary.

Soon, Meng Tingting was discovered by patrolling yamen runners.

The yamen runners were furious and immediately whipped Meng Tingting brutally.

Meng Tingting's screams echoed throughout the camp, making all the exiles shudder.

Meng Qiqi covered her ears, feeling speechless.

Of course she knew that if she had stood up to stop Meng Tingting in advance, perhaps this situation would not have happened.

Over there, as the yamen runners continued to whip Meng Tingting, her body was covered with bloody scars.

She rolled on the ground in pain, begging the bailiffs to stop the punishment.

But the yamen runners remained unmoved and continued to wave their whips.

Finally, Meng Tingting seemed to be unable to hold on and fainted.

Seeing this, several yamen runners stopped whipping and walked away, cursing.

He didn't care at all whether Meng Tingting on the ground was dead or alive.

In the cold night, Meng Tingting was forced to wake up from the cold.

The bloody scars on her body indicated that she was not beaten to death by the yamen runners, nor was she frozen to death in the cold night.

Meng Tingting staggered to her feet while enduring the pain, and tremblingly returned to the fire she had built earlier. With shaking hands, she continued to add firewood to the fire to make the flames bigger.

Then, he took a piece of dry food from his chest, put it in his mouth and ate it slowly.

She hasn't eaten much in days.

Before, her silver and dry food were cheated away by the despicable Chen Haowen.

This has led to her current miserable state.

However, fortunately, he still had a gold necklace hidden on his body.

This is her last valuable possession. When she reaches the desert, she will exchange this gold necklace for silver.
