An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

The death of Master Fang allowed everyone to rest soundly for two days. During these two days, everyone in the General's Mansion had a smile on their face.

It's a pity that they were all imprisoned in a large house on the side of the county government office, and they didn't dare to pay money to the people in the government office, otherwise they would have wanted to prepare a feast for all the prisoners. This matter is really worth celebrating.

After resting enough, every family continued to shop, but the government office strictly controlled the number of people who could go out, and not even one more person was allowed to go out.

So even though he had a verbal agreement with his third uncle, Jing Chunxi could only stay put. However, he did play some tricks with the two little girls. All the flowers and plants in the yard were destroyed by them, and some of the beautiful ones were even pulled up by Jing Chunxi and put into the space.

the next day,

A chief clerk arrived and announced that the few officers who had been escorting Fang would no longer be allowed to continue their journey, but would instead return. The task of escorting the seriously convicted criminals was now being taken over by the Chenzhou Commandery, and they sent a captain of police, Cao Tian, ​​who was also accompanied by twenty officers.

What was also announced was that except for the two injured prisoners and Heizi, all the serious criminals had to wear wooden shackles and shackles on the next journey, just like when they first left the capital, until they arrived in Lingnan for the handover. No one dared to object to this. Being able to take off the shackles and walk most of the way ahead was already very tolerant for them.

"After leaving Chenzhou Prefecture and passing through the three counties of Zhaoqing Prefecture, we will reach Jiangmen County where Yamen Village is located." Jing Changning went to Scarface to confirm the map again, and then came back to tell his father and Xiaobei's grandfather.

This journey did take a lot longer than they expected, mainly because they stopped for too long along the way and there were too many unforeseen facts.

If we continue like this, it would be great if we could reach our destination before New Year's Eve; it would be really tiring to rush back.

For them, the farther away from the capital, the safer they are. Many people no longer feel the anxiety they had when they first left the capital.

"Sister Xi, you should take a rest when you get to Yamen Village. After the New Year, your grandfather will find a caravan to send you back." Jing Yongcheng knew that they would arrive in Lingnan soon, so he smiled a lot more and gave instructions to his granddaughter.

"Yes! I'll follow Grandfather's arrangements." Jing Chunxi hadn't planned to leave immediately after arriving. If, as previously estimated, there was still at least a month until the New Year, returning would be no problem, but now the timing seemed to be impractical.

Since the time is so short, she can play here for a while. She also has to make sure her grandparents are settled before she can go back and report to her mother.

So, she was not in a hurry anymore.

I miss my mother and younger brother at home. I wonder how they are doing and whether they have prepared the New Year’s goods.

Given Mother's personality, she should be able to arrange things well! Even if the children in the village can't be disciplined, with Guard Cao and Nanny here, and so many veterans helping out, there shouldn't be any trouble.

There are also Chuntao and Nanny Wang. I wonder if they have arrived in Lingnan. I hope they have had a smooth journey with their luggage. I don’t know if they have sent her any news on how they are settling down. It gives her a headache.

The further we went, the less rain there was and the colder the weather was. It was still the same as when we left the capital. Men only needed to wear a thin coat, and the elderly, children, women and children would just need a jacket for the morning and evening.

The further we go, the greener the roadside becomes, and our mood becomes much better.

"The south is still better. When I was in the frontier with the old general, my face would be covered with dust and no matter how I washed it, it would not be clean. In the winter, the wind would make my face full of wrinkles. People there look ten years older than those in the capital. Even the water has to be settled before I dare to drink it." Even the old concubine sighed like this, without any sadness after leaving her hometown.

Jing Changning had never been here before, but he had read many travelogues and offered encouragement: "Actually, Lingnan isn't as scary as you might imagine. Miasma? Poisonous insects! While there are miasma, they're not as severe as folklore suggests."

Grandpa Xiaobei laughed when he heard this. "It's just that the humidity in the south is quite high, especially in the months after the Chinese New Year. It's often very damp. Everyone should keep warm and hang clothes and quilts out to dry as soon as the sun comes out. Otherwise, they will get moldy and you will be more likely to get rheumatism, which we in the north call old cold legs."

"We can eat lychees and longans when we get to Lingnan. In Beijing, except for the emperor, we have no chance to eat them. I heard that there are many delicious fruits that people in the north have never seen. We will have a treat in the future." Si finally smiled. She was actually a little happy at this time. Staying in the capital may mean endless wealth and glory, but except for some hardships along the way, it is the best experience in life. The most important thing is that the whole family is together in Lingnan. She feels that the hardship will soon be over and the sweetness will come.

Along the way, her parents-in-law treated her very well, her sisters-in-law got along harmoniously, and the couple respected and loved each other. With such a family atmosphere, she felt that she had not married wrongly, and that it was the right choice to go into exile together.

Since we can't live a stable life, we should make our own brilliance even on the bumpy road. This is what her husband said.

"Outside Chenzhou, this area is all mountainous. Further down, you'll reach Lingnan, where bandits often appear..."

"Fu Cang Mountain is quite steep and difficult to climb. It's also quite dangerous. It's best not to go after dark..."

"The name "Daobei Mountain" comes from a very narrow section. The middle section is several dozen feet long and extremely dangerous, with a width of less than two feet. It's easy to fall off the cliff or be ambushed..."

Tao Jin has been spending a lot of time chatting with the old general, Grandpa Xiaobei and Jing Changning recently. At first, they talked about local customs and the children also liked to listen, but in the past two days, he has been reminding them of the road conditions and dangers ahead, and even taking into account possible things that might happen.

"Young Master Tao has been to Chenzhou?" The more Jing Yongcheng listened, the more he felt something was wrong. The child described it so clearly, as if he had been there personally. If he had only read travel notes and some biographies, he would not have believed it.

"My home... is in Lingnan. When I was eight years old, I was taken to the capital to live with... my grandparents." What Tao Jin said did not sound false, but he spoke slowly after careful consideration.

Everyone was stunned. They thought he was just out for fun and gain experience, but they didn't expect him to be in such a situation.

Silang suddenly felt a little sympathy for the little dandy: "So you are actually going home alone this time?" Children without mothers are really pitiful. When they go out, there is no servant to follow them. Instead, they have to suffer with the exiled prisoners.

Madam Jing also sighed: "The child is so young, he should have hired a escort team to go home. How could your grandparents bear to do that?"

Tao Jin said after a long while: "They... are gone!"

His mother was gone, his father was not close to him, and the only grandparents he loved died. Everyone imagined a long and tragic experience for Tao Jin.

If the child hadn't been so tall, Zhuang would have wanted to hold him in her arms and comfort him. He was no better off than Dalang and Erlang. For children who hadn't grown up, a dead father was better than a dead mother. With a stepmother, there was also a stepfather. Home was where the biological mother was. At least someone was there to care for them as they grew up.
